Authentic Dragon Body
Long Xingyun’s next dragon breath saw the blast morph into five authentic dragons, going all out after Mu Yu riled him up. Nonetheless, Mu Yu vanquished all five, albeit failing to advance his attack thereafter.
“Big Earthworm, he must be your earthworm relative.”
“He’s an insult to bugs. His claws are feathers to me.”
“Really? I hope he doesn’t rip you up.”
“He isn’t even a pure-blooded dragon unlike me. You know what? I’m done with him putting dragons to shame!”
“To be honest, I reckon you look better than him. At least, you’re a complete dragon. He’s a bug.”
“Tell me something I don’t know.”
“Long Xingyun, you do realise it’s pointless to bask in another’s glory, right? You’re not even a dragon,” provoked Mu Yu.
“There is only one true dragon in existence, and I come closest to my grandpa, ignorant human! It is only a matter of time before I become a true dragon.”
“What? Your grandpa is the only authentic dragon in existence?”
“Dragons are the most revered living beings in the world. My grandpa says I have the best chances of becoming the next full-fledged dragon, and I will realise that!” declared Long Xingyun, posing his head proudly.
“Your grandpa is wrong. He’s not the only authentic dragon in existence, and you can’t be the second true dragon.”
“Hahaha, pure dragons are immortal beings. You think dragons are see one, get one free items? Are all humans as ignorant as you?”
“You sound as though you’re insulting yourself. I’m the one who has seen the second true dragon,” replied Mu Yu, gently shaking his left arm.
“Pffthahaha.”
“Wow, you fiends are sure backwater creatures. Are you telling me you weren’t aware I used to ride around on one?”
“You, ride on a dragon? Don’t you insult dragons!”
Long Xingyun’s anger prompted to summon spiritual qi around to himself for another dragon blast.
“I’ve had enough of his arrogance. Mu Yu, let me at him. I’ll show him what a true dragon’s divine dragon blast is!” fumed the dragon vine.
“Sure. However, as you only possess a Body Severing Realm cultivator’s power, you’ll need my Gentle Wind Interlinked Heart’s boost.”
Mu Yu stepped back and tapped an eight trigrams diagram onto the ground, releasing a dragon-shaped sword qi from his sword.
“You think the same trick will work twice?”
Everyone thought Long Xingyun powered up again upon sensing a dragon’s power except for him.
“Ignorant fiend, you think you’re all that?”
The dragon emerged as a streak of light, transforming into its full size and devouring the sword qi Mu Yu ejected.
“Th-that’s an authentic dragon’s aura!” stuttered Gui Dingtian, startled.
The dragon vine coiled around Mu Yu and, in humankind’s language, snapped, “You think you’re the closest to a true dragon? What about you is even similar to me, you fraud?!”
“Y-you’re a fake! My grandpa is the only true dragon!”
Scrutinise as he may, Long Xingyun couldn’t find any visible trait to deny the dragon vine’s dragon lineage.
“Not bad, Big Earthworm. We can use your aura to intimidate fiends in the future. Now you can be useful instead of lazing around or borrowing Mu Yu’s wood-attribute spiritual energy to cultivate.”
“You want to accuse me of being a fake when you look that absurd? Are you testing my patience?”
“Ar-are you a dragon vine that has evolved?” stuttered Lu Xiong.
“An evolved dragon vine?!” repeated Long Xingyun.
“Your point?” questioned the dragon vine, aloofly wagging its tail in Lu Xiong’s face.
Gui Dingtian and Lu Xiong dropped to their knees, surprising every soul present. The two gave each other a nod, and Lu Xiong answered, “N-none at all. You misunderstand. It is perfectly normal as our ancestor is also an evolved dragon vine.”
