Heroes' Prison

Chapter 578 - 554 This Dragon Has Been Played to Death

"Oh? What’s your breakthrough method?" Huang Yi immediately became interested and couldn’t help but ask. Players could easily advance to the Heavenly Realm just by leveling up. However, the method for NPCs was different, with a variety of conditions for their breakthroughs.

"A drop of blood!" the Undead Flying Dragon blurted out a sentence. "The Golden Holy Dragon is one of the three most noble Dragon Clans. Its blood is the best tonic for our Dragon Race. I am already at the Top-level Holy Domain Rank, just one thin layer away from breaking through. I only need a drop of its blood to break through that layer and ascend to the Heavenly Domain Level!"

"A drop of blood shouldn’t be hard, we’ll talk about it after it’s born," Huang Yi nodded and said.

"By the way, God of Slaughter!" The Undead Flying Dragon suddenly turned its head and said to Huang Yi, "The Golden Holy Dragon hasn’t been born yet. You should take this opportunity to let it become familiar with your scent, better yet, make it believe that you too are a Dragon, just like its closest kin. After its birth, it will be very affectionate towards you. When you fight together in the future, your synergy will be even higher."

"Make it mistake me for its kin?" Huang Yi murmured to himself, an idea suddenly springing to mind.

He had been able to undergo Evolution since reaching Level 120, but he had never decided on which direction to evolve. Now that the Golden Holy Dragon was about to be born, and he was to become a Golden Holy Dragon Knight, he resolved to evolve in the direction of the Dragon Race to enhance his synergy with the Golden Holy Dragon in the future.

Huang Yi immediately took out a Magic Bottle from his storage ring, containing a drop of awe-inspiring blood—none other than the blood of the Sea Dragon Emperor! He decided to use this drop of blood for a profound evolution; having already evolved into the White Dragon Clan before, evolving into the Sea Dragon Clan would be easier for him, and the evolutionary rank would be much deeper, much more thorough than evolving into a new species.

Huang Yi poured the drop of the Sea Dragon Emperor’s blood onto his palm and attempted to absorb it.

"[System Prompt]: Target blood is from the Sea Dragon Clan, absorption possible. Since you have previously undergone evolution from the White Dragon Clan, absorbing this will result in a Deep Evolution."

Huang Yi immediately chose yes!

Instantly, the drop of the Sea Dragon Emperor’s blood on his palm slowly got absorbed into his skin and penetrated deeper into his body, pulling at the White Dragon bloodline from before and starting to fuse with it.

The process of Deep Evolution was quite comfortable; his entire body felt tingly, as if he were soaking in a hot spring. After about ten minutes, the tingly sensation faded, and Huang Yi received a system prompt—

[System Prompt]: Congratulations on completing your Deep Evolution.

Current Evolution Stage: Seventh Rank

Current Evolution Form: White Dragon, Sea Dragon

Newly Added Expertise: In addition to the original expertise of the White Dragon form, new Dragon Kinship Intimacy is added. When fighting with a Dragon Clan Contract Partner, synergy will reach 100%.

Newly Added Abilities:

In addition to the original abilities of [External Incarnation] and [Dragon’s Might] from the White Dragon Clan, [External Incarnation] ability strengthened, with new capabilities to change appearance, lower level, and other disguising abilities, along with [Second Identity].

[Second Identity]: You can take on a new nickname, which will be recognized by the system and treated as a brand new player. Both your incarnation and original body can henceforth have different names, different identities. This nickname can be applied to your original body or incarnation at any time. If this nickname earns National Honor Points, Prestige Points, etc., they will be temporarily retained separately but can be integrated into your original self at any time.

A renaming ability!

Seeing this new ability, Huang Yi suddenly froze for a moment! He had not expected that his Deep Evolution would strengthen his External Incarnation and bring about a renaming capability.

This name would be recognized by the system! As long as he used this new name, even if the system made announcements in the future, they would use this new name, treating it entirely as a separate player.

Before this, Huang Yi’s incarnation, even though a separate entity and nearly equivalent to another player, was still under his name. No matter how he disguised himself, once he entered combat with an enemy, his identity would still be exposed. He and his incarnation could only share one identity, which was Instakill! That was something fundamentally unchangeable!

But with the renaming ability, things were different. Now, he could play two roles. On the surface, he was Instakill, but in reality, he had another identity that had to remain unseen, an identity that would allow him to carry out extremely secretive tasks with ease.

"[System Prompt]: Please choose a new nickname for yourself." Just then, Huang Yi received a prompt from the system.

"Big Baddie!" Huang Yi seemed to recall a long-forgotten matter, suddenly bowed his head to pat Xiao Chunzi’s head, and smiled slightly as he said.

"[System Prompt]: Naming successful! From now on, your original body and incarnation can use the nicknames [Instakill] and [Big Baddie] at any time."

Thus, Huang Yi finally had a Second Identity! This second identity could be used by both his original body and his incarnation. In the future, he could let his incarnation be Instakill while his original self would be Big Baddie.

"Click!" Just at that moment, Huang Yi suddenly heard a crisp sound!

Though the sound was soft, it seemed to welcome the birth of a great Life, spreading throughout the entire forest, reaching every babbling brook, every sun-dappled leaf. Every creature in the forest instinctively turned their heads towards the location of the Golden Holy Dragon Egg, their eyes filled with devotion, as if on a pilgrimage.

Huang Yi, Xiao Chunzi, and Undead Flying Dragon were all fixated on the Dragon Egg.

By now, all the golden smoke had been fully absorbed, and a crack appeared in the golden shell.

"Crack! Crack!" Soon, the crack spread like a butterfly effect, branching out like a spider web, covering every corner of the egg!

"Pop!" Just then, a small hole appeared on the shell, and a tender little paw suddenly stretched out, chubby and irresistibly pinchable.

After this little paw appeared, it began to energetically scratch at the shell, struggling to squeeze its little body out to be born into this beautiful world.

However, the little paw didn’t seem to have much strength; despite its persistent efforts, it couldn’t break open the shell. Instead, the paw ended up blood-stained and cut by the shell, making Xiao Chunzi stomp her feet in anxiety.

"Oh dear, Little Long Long! Come on, push harder! Sister will give you a hand!" Unable to hold back anymore, Xiao Chunzi rushed forward, reaching out her hand to help pry open the shell for that little paw.

"Stop!" Undead Flying Dragon immediately stopped Xiao Chunzi, solemnly saying, "Let it come out on its own! An egg, broken from the outside, is food, but from inside, it is life."

Xiao Chunzi gritted her teeth and then reluctantly withdrew her hand, squatting next to the Dragon Egg, supporting her chin with her hands and gazing nervously at it.

"Pop!" Another tender little paw broke through the Dragon Egg, showing itself to the world.

The little paw even stretched out a bit, seemingly tired and ready for a rest.

At this moment, the cracks in the shell widened further, and through the gaps, a glimpse could be caught of a little creature inside with golden skin all over.

"Brother, what do you think this little dragon will call you when it comes out?" Xiao Chunzi suddenly tilted her head and asked Huang Yi.

"It’s so young and sounds so milky; I don’t think it will be able to speak," Huang Yi shook his head in reply.

"I guess it will call you Daddy."

"..."

After resting for a while, it seemed like the little creature inside the egg had regained some strength. Both little paws suddenly became more vigorous, forcefully prying at the shell from the outside. Bit by bit, shell pieces fell to the ground, and the gaps and cracks grew larger and larger.

At this time, Little Wang seemed extremely curious about the Dragon Egg, walking over on all fours, sniffing around the cracks with his dog nose as if trying to remember the scent.

"Crack!" Just at that moment, the shell suddenly broke into two, and the little creature within finally revealed itself.

It was a small golden dragon, with short wings, a plump belly like a small ball, chubby and fluffy, with a tiny pink tail attached to its rear.

Right now, it was sitting on its bottom in the shell, opening its big eyes, looking around curiously. As it looked around, it chewed on its little paw. It looked silly and endearing, incredibly cute.

"Woof! Woof!" Just then, Little Wang was startled by the breaking of the Dragon Egg, and immediately barked.

The little dragon was instantly attracted and caught sight of Little Wang, its big eyes blinked slightly as if it felt immensely curious and affectionate, and while flapping its little paws, it also opened its mouth and imitated, "Woof! Woof!"

The sound was so milky that it made Huang Yi, Xiao Chunzi, and the Undead Flying Dragon twitch at the corners of their mouths!

None of them had expected the little dragon to start imitating a dog’s bark! It was as if the dragon was throwing away the face of the Dragon Clan!

"You’re a dog!" Huang Yi knocked on Little Wang’s head, "Of all times, you had to bark now!"

But Huang Yi was already the little dragon’s owner, and after experiencing two evolutions in the Dragon Clan’s form, it didn’t matter if the little dragon barked like a dog, as it could be corrected later on.

"Oh! Little Long Long, you are from the Three Great Top Dragon Clans! How can you imitate a dog’s bark? Quickly learn to roar like a dragon!" Xiao Chunzi suddenly scolded anxiously, immediately running over to the little dragon’s side and picking it up with her small hand.

The little dragon stared at Xiao Chunzi with its big eyes curiously, opening its mouth and barking again, "Woof! Woof!"

"Not like that!" Xiao Chunzi stamped her feet in frustration, kissed the little dragon and said, "Be good and listen, don’t imitate a dog’s bark, Little Wang isn’t your daddy! You have to learn a dragon’s roar! The majestic kind that makes enemies lie flat on the ground when they hear it!"
