Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Welcome to the fantastical world of science fiction! The entrance is here:

Xiao Yun looked down in confusion and was shocked to find that a heart as clear as glass was embedded in the large hole in his chest, its surface shimmering with dazzling starlight.

It was the dragon heart that had been dropped when the Star-Eating Dragon was killed.

Xiao Yun did indeed intend to use the [Dragon Heart], along with the heart dropped by the King of Life and Death and the King of Fire, to achieve the recovery effect, but the power of the self-destruction was beyond imagination, and he missed some of the effects.

"Then...who slipped this in to me?"

Xiao Yun frowned, and suddenly noticed a line of small characters next to Long Xin.

"Kid, considering we share the same origin, and that you're willing to put aside family ties for the greater good, I'll reluctantly lend you a hand."

"The Dragon Heart is installed for you—those fanatics created a half-finished product; how can it be powered with only star power and no true dragon power? Luckily, I'm a professional, so I fixed it for you on the spot. Haha, you're welcome."

"Oh, by the way, I also inserted the old geezer's heart into your body. You inherited his talent, so you won't have any rejection reaction, but it might be a little... painful."

"Who is it? Do I have a hidden big shot in my life?"

A fleeting doubt crossed Xiao Yun's mind.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Yun calmed himself down and activated the Dragon Heart.

The glass heart, located in the left atrium, features a bright, reddish-gold heart that beats slowly.

Thump—thump—thump—

Each pulse reverberates powerfully like muffled thunder, sending a surge of intense warmth through the entire body.

At the same time, the remaining flames and light in the entire secret realm surged in and entered the body.

Click—click—

The charred body emitted a crisp sound as bones were rebuilt and flesh was regenerated.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Only then did Xiao Yun belatedly realize the meaning of that message.

As the body repairs itself, excruciating pain continues to emanate from it.

Xiao Yun grimaced in pain, rolling on the ground, wanting to faint, but under the infusion of a large amount of life force, his consciousness was clearer than ever before.

Click—click—

Under intense pain, Xiao Yun couldn't help but grab the mithril sword beside him, grinding it with his teeth until it made a clicking sound, even leaving a scratch.

bang-

After a while, the mithril sword fell to the ground, and Xiao Yun collapsed to the ground, his body covered in sweat.

"This feeling... I never want to experience it again."

Xiao Yun was panting heavily. Although the process was extremely painful, he couldn't help but smile when he looked at his brand-new body.

"Living dead flesh, growing white bones, and the reborn body resonating with the eternally burning blood seems to have produced some special changes..."

"However, after this, the remaining strength in my heart will be exhausted, and I'm afraid I won't have this almost 'rebirth' effect next time."

Xiao Yun felt a pang of emotion, but not disappointment.

To survive being blown to bits and gain an even stronger body is something I never dared to dream of.

Just as Xiao Yun was feeling sentimental, the dragon egg beside him chirped softly, as if urging him on.

"Don't rush, don't rush, it's coming."

Xiao Yun picked up the mithril sword and slashed it across his wrist.

scoff-

Blood flowed like a torrent, the crimson-gold blood flowing silently, steam rising, and the surrounding temperature slowly increasing.

The dragon egg, bathed in crimson-gold blood, emitted a cheerful chirping sound, seemingly enjoying the temperature.

But Xiao Yun's lips twitched violently, his expression somewhat complicated:

"What's the difference between my blood and liquid fire? Am I... no longer human?"

Just then, the dragon egg let out another dissatisfied sound.

Xiao Yun was surprised to find that the wound inflicted by the mithril sword had already healed.

"What amazing recovery ability! Not only did the wound heal, but I didn't even feel a thing after losing nearly 200 milliliters of blood."

Xiao Yun exclaimed in surprise, and without any hesitation, he picked up the mithril sword and slashed it into his wrist.

scoff-

Flesh and blood tore apart, and fresh blood gushed out again, while the dragon egg emitted a pleasant chirping sound.

Xiao Yun looked at the wound on his wrist and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"I used all my strength just now, not to mention that my strength has increased a lot since my rebirth. Before, it would have at least broken the bones, but now it only severed the skin and blood vessels, and didn't even cut the tendons..."

Next, Xiao Yun repeatedly cut his wrists to feed the dragon egg his blood, and gradually came to understand one thing—

"I think... I really can't be considered a person anymore."

With his body forged from the power of the Dragon Heart and the legacy of the True Dragon, coupled with the eternally burning blood that originated from the True Dragon, Xiao Yun is now comparable to a walking True Dragon.

Xiao Yun's expression was complicated. After a long while, he silently accepted the fact.

However, through gradual exploration, Xiao Yun became more adept at controlling this new body. After some adjustments, his blood temperature and color returned to normal, and at least on the surface, he was no different from a normal person.

On the other side, the dragon egg had also absorbed enough blood and was trembling constantly, with more and more cracks appearing on its shell.

Click! Click! Click!

After a few crisp sounds, two thumb-sized horns broke through the eggshell.

A small head popped out, shook, and then slowly opened its crimson-gold eyes.

Looking into Xiaolong's eyes, which were almost identical to his own, a feeling of blood connection welled up within him. But before Xiaoyun could even smile, he heard a childish voice calling out.

"You should call him Dad."

"Huh?"

Xiao Long seemed a little confused, but seeing Xiao Yun's serious expression, he obediently nodded.

"Oh! (Dad!)"

"Oh, my good child."

Xiao Yun smiled and picked up Xiao Long.

The newborn dragon is tiny, about the size of a weaned baby, but its weight is beyond imagination.

If it weren't for the formidable strength of Xiao Yun's new body, he would have fallen flat on his face before he could react.

Feeling the weight in his arms, Xiao Yun's heart sank.

"With such a large quantity, one's appetite is probably..."

Before he could finish his thought, the little dragon in his arms waved its four little claws, its fleshy wings rubbing against Xiao Yun's chest, its round eyes full of longing.

"Ugh. (Dad, I'm hungry.)"

"Sweetie, Daddy's not hungry."

"..."

Half an hour later, Xiao Yun emptied his inventory and went out to kill two wild monsters before he could fill the little dragon's stomach.

"belch--"

Little Dragon let out a loud burp, flew into Xiao Yun's arms, shifted to a comfortable position, and fell asleep immediately.

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"

Listening to the long snores, Xiao Yun smiled helplessly.

"There's another foodie in the house, and winter's almost here... It's going to be a bit tricky."

However, no matter how hard things are, we can't let the children suffer, especially the S-class true dragon cub who was born with the talent of eternal burning blood, comparable to a top-tier ninth-sequence professional.

"I killed two eighth-sequence bosses today, and also tamed the little dragon. My score should meet the promotion requirements, right?"

Just as I was wondering, a crisp system notification sounded in my ear.

Today, you and your companions worked together to slay the King of Life and Death (incomplete), and you soloed the Whisperer...

[With a brilliant scheme, you reversed fate and staged a miracle of resurrection! Not only did you gain the body of a true dragon, but you also successfully tamed a young true dragon. The system can no longer describe such a legendary story...]

……

Meanwhile, in the South Campus, beneath the research institute, lies a hidden underground garage.

In a space of less than fifty square meters, piles of charred flesh and bones, each as tall as a person, were stacked up. On the ground, congealed blood had already clogged the sewers, piling up to a thickness of a shoe sole.

"More than three hundred, most of them are ordinary people, yet it's so difficult to kill them all."

Amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Qi Huiming sighed softly and took out the [Profession Advancement Card] from the settlement rewards.

"Xiao Yun, do you think that severely injuring me and sending everyone else away prematurely will stop me from advancing?"

A smile bloomed on Qi Huiming's blood-stained face, revealing his gleaming white teeth:

"The Eighth Sequence! I am the strongest, the ultimate victor!"
