Alright!
He had still been frustrated the last second, and then he immediately picked up the Fire Dragon bloodline the next second? Wasn’t this kinda ridiculous?
However! I may have picked it up, but it’s not like they can force me to assimilate it if I don’t want to, isn’t it?
With that in mind, Meng Lei was just about to communicate with the system when a bunch of crimson flames unexpectedly appeared in his body. Then, they separated into countless sections and turned into innumerable tiny fire dragons. These fire dragons instantly darted into all his limbs and bones, fusing with every single inch of his blood and flesh!
Boom!
As though a barrel of petroleum set on fire, Meng Lei felt a piercing and acute wave of pain coming from within his body and assaulting his senses madly. A muffled grunt escaped Meng Lei, and he almost let out a tragic cry.
W-what’s going on?!
Meng Lei was terribly shocked by this sudden turn of events. He forced himself to endure the severe pain in his body and ran to the nearest restroom.
A bout of crimson red flames emerged from within his body the instant he entered the restroom. It scorched his body and burned his clothes, turning him straight into a man on fire!
Under the blazing flames, his clothes didn’t even last a few seconds before they were reduced to ashes. Meng Lei’s whole body became exposed to the air at once!
Through the crimson flames, one could clearly see blue veins bulging against Meng Lei’s skin surface. His muscles were trembling, his bones were shaking, and wisps of black smoke were coming out of him!
“Ahhh!”
Meng Lei cried out in pain and agony. He felt like his whole body was about to be ripped apart. Violent spasms went through him. He had never once imagined that this was how extreme pain would feel like. It was truly utter misery, where one could neither live nor die!
While he was being assaulted by great pain, Meng Lei wasn’t aware that his body was currently undergoing a miraculous change. As the small and light flames burned his body, everything, be it his bones, meridians, skin, or blood, was going through changes that ordinary people would find hard to even imagine!
Every single cell!
Every inch of his blood and flesh!
Every single bone!
All of them were being reborn in the flames!
In his dazed state, an earth-shattering roar resounded. A hologram of a Fire Dragon covered from head to toe in fiery red scaly armor, and as though fully cast from solid metal, floated in the air behind Meng Lei. It roared into the heavens as it flapped its wings!
Splurt!
Splurt!
In the instant that the Fire Dragon hologram appeared, the sounds of blades piercing through flesh rang out, and fiery red bloodstained scales began to pop up one by one on the surface of Meng Lei’s body!
On both of his arms and both of his legs!
On his chest and his abdomen!
On his back and his buttocks!
In the blink of an eye, the fiery red scales had spread and covered every part of Meng Lei, making him look as though a monster covered in scales!
However, it wasn’t over yet!
Splurt!
Yet another soft pop rang out. Behind him, a long, thick, and muscular dragon tail grew from where his buttocks were. Fiery red scaly armor covered the tail, which was covered in blood. It looked evil and sinister and reeked of blood!
At the same time, two bamboo shoot-like objects also grew from his forehead. They were sharp-tipped and red, seeming as if they were going to pierce through the heavens!
These were a pair of dragon horns!
Fiery red dragon scales!
Fiery red dragon horns!
A fiery red dragon tail!
The changes finally came to a halt at this point. The flames enveloping Meng Lei all over slowly extinguished. The acute pain also ebbed away like the tide. Meng Lei collapsed into a heap on the ground, gasping for air and panting heavily!
Sweat and blood covered the ground. It was as though Meng Lei was lying in a pool of blood. At this moment, Meng Lei didn’t even feel like lifting a finger at all!
It hurt!
It hurt too much!
He felt as if he had gone to hell and back!
Even just thinking back to that feeling now gave him lingering fears. Meng Lei swore that he never wanted to experience it ever again!
Bam!
Someone pushed the restroom’s doors open right at this moment, and a thin and frail figure walked in. Right away, he was badly frightened by the scene in front of him and let out an ear-piercing scream!
“Ahhh!”
“Stop screaming!”
A severe jolt went through Meng Lei. His form turned into an afterimage and appeared right in front of the person that had just walked in. He clapped his hand over his mouth in one swift motion, his movements so quick that it was completely in a different class from what it was before!
“Listen! Stop screaming!”
Meng Lei didn’t want to be seen in such a pathetic state. He glared viciously at the person, signaling to him not to cause a commotion.
“L-let go of me! I won’t scream!”
The person nodded tactfully, and actually calmed down very quickly.
“You’d better behave!”
After threatening him again, Meng Lei carefully released his hold on him. True enough, the person didn’t scream anymore. Instead, he looked Meng Lei up and down before he asked in surprise, “You... Are you awakening your bloodline?”
“Awakening?”
Meng Lei was a little stunned. It was then that he realized that his body had undergone great changes. His arms, legs, abdomen... All of
