Chapter 10

The Merman Race had discovered traces of Lei Luo and made the decision to capture him. However, Lei Luo knew nothing regarding this.

At this moment, Lei Luo had just finished a meal of barbecued Water Lion and was resting on a rock. He was refining his characteristics while adding the suitable ones into his body or poisonous breath. However, most of the energy was absorbed into his body to advance.

Beside him were two One-Horned Seals that had yet to be dealt with. He was waiting for supper as his body needed time to absorb the energy. He could not grow just by eating.

Lei Luo was only born last year. According to the growth cycle of the Dragon Race, it would take 200 years for him to become an adult. This speed of advancing to Level-4 was too slow.

However, 200 years was too long. He still had many things to deal with. He had to speed things up.

Lei Luo looked at the sky above the island, his mind racing.

“It would be great if I could know the map and direction of the surrounding sea region. I also want news about my parents. However, even a Level-4 Water Lion doesn’t have the intelligence to communicate. It’s too difficult.”

“I wonder if there are other creatures in the sea that can communicate.”

“According to my inherited memories, sea beasts only develop strength and have no intelligence. However, some races that are related to humans have sufficient intelligence. There shouldn’t be any in the sea, right?”

Lei Luo gathered his thoughts. When he thought about how he might have to rely on his luck to reach land in the future, he felt a little worried.

…

Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. The sea was still moving with the wind as usual.

Suddenly…

A faint roar came from the bottom of the sea. There were undercurrents, as if some creature was fighting at the bottom of the sea. The commotion grew bigger and bigger. Finally, a figure broke through the surface of the sea and flew into the sky. Under its claws were two Level-3 sea snakes.

The figure in the sky was dark green in color and its head was the shape of an inverted triangle. Its eyes flickered with a cold light and its two wings were ten meters long when stretched out. It was a Poison Dragon, a rare creature in the Holy Land.

Lei Luo looked down at the sea, snorted, and flew away.

In this sea region, he didn’t need to hide his existence. After all, being discovered wasn’t that big of a deal. This was because the sea beasts couldn’t communicate and lacked intelligence.

If there were sentient creatures in the sea, Lei Luo would have had to be careful to keep the information about him from leaking.

Lei Luo looked at the sea snakes in his claws and sighed. “I only killed two sea snakes. The Dragon Race is still not suitable for the sea. However, with these two sea snakes, it is enough for me to break through to Level-2. Unfortunately, the Level-4 sea snake king is too difficult to kill.”

Every time he hunted, he would go to another sea area and encounter different creatures.

Now, he didn’t just rely on poison to hunt. Occasionally, he would also need to use dragon language magic and fight physically.

For example, although the sea snakes that he killed this time were snakes, they did not have any venom. Furthermore, they were very resistant to poison. It could also disguise itself against the commonly-seen seabed and launch a sneak attack.

If Lei Luo didn’t happen to find the sea snakes this time, he would have to suffer.

The two Level-3 sea snakes were not difficult to deal with. The difficult one was the Level-4 sea snake king. Even with the tough body of a Level-1 dragon, Lei Luo could only fight to a draw underwater. In addition, the snake king had many underlings, so the poison would not be effective. Thus, Lei Luo could only choose to retreat.

“When I advance to Level-2, I’ll find trouble with them next time.”

Lei Luo remembered the location of the sea snakes. After returning to the island, he roasted his prey briefly and swallowed the two Level-3 sea snakes.

Feeling the warmth in his stomach nourishing his body, Lei Luo narrowed his eyes. He was in a good mood.

As he was about to advance to Level-2, he did not extract the characteristics of the sea snakes this time. Instead, he waited patiently.

After all, after entering Level-2, the other characteristics that were integrated into his poisonous breather earlier would become stronger. This was much more cost-effective than adding new characteristics.

With the strengthening of his poisonous breath, it would be easier to deal with the sea snake king, forming a good cycle.

Lei Luo stretched his body and absorbed the magic power of the world to speed up his advancement.

One hour later, the energy absorption of the two Level-3 water snakes was completed.

Boundless magic power surged around Lei Luo’s body and even caused a strong wind to surround him. The gravel within 100 meters was swept up into the sky.

Then, wave after wave of powerful fluctuations spread out from his body. Lei Luo could only feel his body constantly expanding. Meanwhile, his strength was also swiftly growing.

Four meters… Six meters… Eight meters…

When he was almost nine meters tall, all the mutations stopped.

Hu ~ Hu ~ Hu ~

Lei Luo panted slightly, his expression filled with excitement.

He had really entered Level-2!

After killing so many ranked creatures, his goal was finally achieved today.

Lei Luo was pleasantly surprised. As he felt the strength of his body, he recalled his past memories. Before his strength reached the requirements, only the surface of some of his memories would be unlocked. He would only be able to see deeper content when he reached the requirements.

This setting was to prevent some young dragons from not understanding the severity of the situation and rashly using powers that exceeded their level, only to result in serious consequences.

The memories left behind by the senior Poison Dragons were still very useful.

He calmed down and carefully looked at the memories he had obtained in the past. As he looked at the images that flashed in front of his eyes and the ravings that rang in his ears, Lei Luo gradually became immersed and forgot about the time.

When he regained his senses, he realized that the sun had set. The sky was dark and the night shrouded the sky.

Lei Luo looked at the sky, and the joy on his face from advancing greatly diminished.

This time, not only did he look through the inherited memories he had obtained in the past, he also saw the scene before he was born. Someone wanted to kill him before he was born!

That fellow had succeeded the first time. The dragon egg didn’t have any life force, and it had died once.

Furthermore, after Lei Luo transmigrated, the dragon egg had come back to life. That fellow had come to attack for the second time, but had been stopped by an unknown existence, or he would have died again.

From start to finish, Lei Luo didn’t understand why, and no one gave him an explanation.

When he recalled the indifferent, lofty golden eyes in the sky, Lei Luo felt a surge of anger.

He didn’t want to know so much. The only thing he knew was that that fellow wanted to kill him!

“Damned fellow, although it might be because you killed my previous self that I transmigrated here, it’s also true that you wanted to kill me the second time. I’m not a true Poison Dragon, but I’ve already used this body and awakened the supreme bloodline talent of the Poison Dragon bloodline.”

“In that case, it’s my responsibility to avenge my predecessor and allow the Poison Dragon race to stand under the sun again!”

“I don’t know who you are, but as long as I grow up, we will meet sooner or later.”

“If I enter Level-3, will I be able to see earlier scenes and know where my parents in this life went?”

Even though he was only at Level-2 now and was far from that unknown existence, Lei Luo was still determined to take revenge.

Just as Lei Luo made up his mind to take revenge and revive the glory of the Poison Dragon race, he felt comfortable all over. A tender dragon’s roar faintly came from his body, and the sound gradually faded until it disappeared.

“Was that the remnant soul of my previous self? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.”

Lei Luo agreed with a complicated but firm expression.

He could choose not to do so. He could live comfortably with his bloodline talent and dragon body.

However, when he thought of his predecessor who died in the egg, he still felt indignant and could not let it go!
