What the hell! Why have I turned into a Dragon Person!?
Meng Lei looked green around the gills. He had only just obtained the Fire Dragon bloodline the last moment, and now he had turned into a Dragon Person the next...
“B*stard system, who allowed you to assimilate it? Have you asked me for permission?!”
Meng Lei was so furious that he let loose a torrent of abuse!
However...
When he clenched his fists, explosive power filled his whole body from head to toe, as if he could destroy a mountain with just one punch!
When he jumped lightly, his body felt so light and buoyant, as if all of his weight was gone. It was as though most of gravity’s pull on him had been canceled out, as though a layer of shackles on him had been removed!
My body... It’s so strong!
Meng Lei couldn’t help himself from glancing at his personal stats interface. And then, what he saw astonished him!
Host: Meng Lei
Race: Human (Contains Fire Dragon bloodline)
Wealth: 26,397 gold coins
Physical Body Constitution: Fifth-Grade Warrior (2,480/5,000)
Spirit: Fourth-Grade Magician (1,197/2,000)
Magic Power: Fifth-Grade Magician (2,023/5,000)
What the hell! That’s such a big change!
His Physical Body Constitution had been 800 points previously, but it was 2,400 points now, and had increased by threefold!
His Magic Power had been 1,000 points previously, but it was 2,000 points now, and had increased by twofold!
What an exaggeration! This is simply too big of an exaggeration!
Is the Fire Dragon bloodline really that much of a mutant?!
Meng Lei found himself in disbelief, and his feelings of frustration slightly lessened.
“The body will go through a qualitative change when one is awakening their Dragon bloodline!” The person gazed at Meng Lei and added calmly, “It’s absolutely normal for you to feel your power becoming stronger, and your body becoming lighter!”
“Alright!”
Meng Lei nodded. After taking in the sensations in detail, he directed his gaze at the person. It was then that he realized he actually knew the fellow in front of him.
“Abbe, how come you’re here?”
The person that had entered the restroom was Abbe, Meng Lei’s cold and distant housemate. Meng Lei’s attention had been fully directed at the changes in his body just now, so he hadn’t recognized him for a moment there, but he finally belatedly realized his identity now!
“You know me?”
Abbe was startled.
Meng Lei chuckled and replied somewhat dryly, “Hee! We see each other every day, so would you say whether I know you or not?”
“See each other every d— You’re Meng Lei?”
Abbe’s eyes widened, and he stared at Meng Lei in disbelief. “Why are you here? No, how come you could awaken the Dragon race’s bloodline? Aren’t you a human!?”
Chapter 41: Fifth-Grade Warrior, New Plans
Abbe had had his attention on Meng Lei for a very long time now!
He had already heard of Meng Lei’s great reputation before he had enrolled in the academy and knew that Meng Lei was the most gifted talent among this year’s batch of new students.
When the two of them then became housemates, everything about Meng Lei couldn’t escape Abbe’s scrutiny all the more. After three months of observation, Abbe professed to be someone that knew Meng Lei very well. However, little did he expect that Meng Lei had actually still kept such a huge secret from him!
“Aren’t you a human? How come you could awaken the Dragon bloodline?” Abbe stared hard at Meng Lei, his eyes full of perplexity. “Or have you always been a Dragon Person all along?”
“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask, then?”
Meng Lei held out his hands and added, “I was watching the King of Fighters battle just now when this suddenly happened. To be honest, I’m still in utter confusion right now!”
Abbe didn’t doubt him. “Looks like you really have Dragon blood in you!”
Although a lot of Dragon People had awakened their Dragon bloodline at a young age, there was no lack of people like Meng Lei, who only awakened after maturing to a certain stage.
Meng Lei wasn’t a special case!
“Perhaps, I guess!”
Meng Lei had complicated feelings about this. He wasn’t going to tell Abbe the truth, of course. Even if he did, Abbe might not necessarily believe him, anyway. Assimilating the Dragon bloodline into his body?
Just the sound of it alone was ridiculous!
“Congrats!” said Abbe detachedly.
Then, he paid Meng Lei no further attention and went about his business in the restroom. Meng Lei walked over to the mirror and observed his current appearance.
He looked strange and was even covered from head to toe in blood. Meng Lei turned on the tap and started to clean himself.
That looks a lot more pleasant to the eye!
Except... Am I going to look like this from now on?
Meng Lei sighed. Even though the Fire Dragon bloodline brought him great power and strength, he simply couldn’t find himself in a good mood the moment he thought of how he had turned into a monster!
He preferred his previous human appearance!
Meng Lei asked, “Abbe, is it impossible for me to return to how I looked previously?”
“Why do you want to return to what you looked like previously?” Abbe’s puzzled voice drifted over from the cubicle. “In Fire Dragon Kingdom, everyone longs to have Dragon blood so that they can become an existence envied, respected, and feared by others! Additionally, what you’ve awakened is the Fire Dragon Kingdom’s royal bloodline, which is even more extraordinary! Why would you want to return to what you looked like previously?”
“I look kinda strange now. I still prefer how I looked previously!” With a shake of his head, Meng Lei asked, “Tell me, is there any way to
