President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president exchanged a look, both seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes. When they had been watching Meng Lei’s Dragon God Tower challenge the day before, they’d already determined that Meng Lei must be a double bloodline-holder.
However, never would they have ever expected his other bloodline to actually be the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline! This was simply too unbelievable!
“But! This is great! Exceedingly great!”
After the momentary surprise, President Fred was overjoyed. “Since Meng Lei possesses the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline, then that makes him a member of the Dragon God Empire’s royalty. Who would dare cast doubt upon him now?”
The moment the thought occurred to him, Fred hurriedly turned to Emperor Frederick the 32nd, who was obviously also astounded.
“No wonder that little fellow’s body is so strong and tough! So he’s a member of the royal family! I am extremely glad to know that!”

“Congratulations, Your Majesty!”
“That child has great aptitude and is amazingly talented! As expected of the empire’s royalty!”
“Didn’t I say so? How can such an amazingly talented person be a human…”
The people’s opinions did a dramatic 180-degree turn and changed instantly. While there were only suspicions and perplexity earlier, they had all turned into praises and compliments now!
This was inevitable, after all!
While they could cast doubt upon Meng Lei and make things up about him previously, they couldn’t do so anymore. Meng Lei was a Golden Colossal Dragon Person and a legitimate member of the royalty. Thus, he wasn’t someone whom they could speculate about!
“President Angus, what do you have to say now?”
President Fred looked at Angus and said, “You had claimed that I was deceiving His Majesty just now, but I’d like to ask who’s the one deceiving the emperor and fooling the people now?
At his words, Angus’ countenance turned extremely awful and constipated, yet he couldn’t rebut him at all!
Rebut?
There was nothing he could rebut him with!
The moment Meng Lei had displayed his Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline, there was no longer any point in saying any more!
16 years old!
A Saint Domain Great Magician!
A Saint Domain-level body!
A double bloodline-holder!
Even if a person like that hadn’t been a member of the royalty, the emperor would still have wished to make a connection or two with them, much less when Meng Lei possessed the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline and was legitimate royalty!
“President Angus, your doubt is not without cause.”
Frederick the 32nd spoke up at this point. Then, he went on and said, “However, before you raise your doubts, you should have thoroughly investigated the situation prior to bringing it up to me. Otherwise, it would seem as though you’re sowing discord and slandering a fellow official!”
“I will keep Your Majesty’s admonishments in mind!”
Angus responded respectfully, and then, he slunk back to his seat gloomily.
At the same time, in the Lost Continent…
“My body has improved quite a fair bit! That’s a surprise!”
Meng Lei felt rather comforted as he viewed his stats interface. He’d initially thought that at his body’s current level, it’d be tough for normal bloodlines like the Golden Colossal Dragon’s to strengthen his body by much.
After all, the Golden Colossal Dragon was just a Saint Domain Magical Beast while he himself already possessed a Saint Domain-level body. How much could the Golden Colossal Dragon possibly strengthen his body?
To his surprise, however, it had actually strengthened his body by quite a fair bit!
Host: Meng Lei
Race: Human (Fire Dragon bloodline <52%>, Fire Demon bloodline <47%>, Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline <10%>, Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline <1%>, Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline <50%>)
Wealth: 22.3 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals
Physical Body Constitution: Saint Domain (12,063,858,705/100 billion)
Spirit: Saint Domain (1,028,303,785/100 billion)
Magic Power: Saint Domain (1,025,877,840/100 billion)
Laws of Nature: Fire-Elemental (0.2%), Wind-Elemental (0.1%), Thunder-Elemental (0.1%), Metal-Elemental (0.1%), Light-Elemental (0.1%)
From the stats interface, one could see that the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline assimilation had raised his Physical Body Constitution attribute from the previous 11 billion to 12 billion points. It had increased by a whole 900 million points!
That was in no way a small increment!
If he’d used his Wealth for point redemption instead, he’d have needed a whole 9 billion gold coins. That would have been a pretty hefty sum of money!
Roar!
Elsewhere, Barbarossa was also shocked by Meng Lei’s appearance. He didn’t expect Meng Lei to actually be a Golden Colossal Dragon Person!
And this… infuriated him even further!
“We’re both members of the royalty, but I’m a Golden Colossal Dragon with the purest bloodline, whereas he’s just a bastard with an impure bloodline! So why should he be stronger than me?!”
It was the same logic as to how ordinary humans wouldn’t be jealous of how rich Jack Ma[1] was, but they would be jealous of friends and relatives by their side who were richer than them!
That was exactly Barbarossa’s current frame of mind. He was the one and only pure-blooded Golden Colossal Dragon in Dragon God Empire’s younger generation, thereby destining him as the one to ascend the throne and become the ruler of the empire!
There was already nothing he could do about the 13th Princess being firmly a notch above him, but that guy who had popped up out of nowhere was actually stronger than him, too! How could that possibly do?
Roar!
With a ferocious roar, Barbarossa crushed the pure gold pendant hanging around his neck. Right away, dazzling golden light spilled forth and instantly enveloped Barbarossa within!
Boom!
As if a brilliant golden sun, light shone from Barbarossa! Dazzling and golden, it shrouded the whole area around him!
Roar!
At the same time, Barbarossa’s aura also skyrocketed! In a mere instant, it had strengthened by several times!
As the golden light gradually died down, Barbarossa’s body also expanded by quite a few rounds. His muscles became even stronger and filled with power, his horns and claws became even sharper, and his 100-meters-long body expanded to 300 to 400 meters!
The most fascinating thing was that a thin layer of golden glow was rippling around him. The mist rose and fell as it
