Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

Su Chen took a closer look at the system introduction.

[Bloodline Reversion: Awakens the ancient bloodline dormant within the host, purifying the diluted bloodline to a higher concentration, significantly enhancing aptitude and potential limits]

Although Su Chen possessed a trace of the Candle Dragon bloodline, it was extremely thin and vastly different from that of his legendary ancestor.

Each time his bloodline reverts to its ancestral form, he will be one step closer to transforming into the Candle Dragon.

This is exactly what Su Chen desires most right now!

[Are we starting to revert to our ancestral ways?]

"start."

Su Chen answered without hesitation.

[Currently undergoing atavism]

The system coldly descended, and an ancient and violent power suddenly surged from the deepest part of Su Chen's body.

His blood began to scald, and ancient golden patterns appeared on the surface of his scales, constantly shimmering with mysterious light.

Current bloodline purity: 1%

Blood surges wildly through the blood vessels, constantly being purified through repeated flushing.

At the same time, Su Chen's enormous body began to reshape itself rapidly.

Muscle fibers become stronger through tearing and healing, bone density and strength increase exponentially, old scales fall off like withered leaves, and new scales grow one by one, as black as ink.

His physique began to grow wildly during this transformation.

Fifty-eight meters.

Sixty meters.

Sixty-five meters.

Seventy meters.

Eighty meters!

Like a whirlwind, Su Chen easily broke through the bottleneck of the ninth level of the Lord level and took another step forward.

Cataclysmic level!

In an instant, Su Chen's aura surged, and a terrifying sense of oppression swept out in all directions.

The teachers and students around couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

"The guardian beast of Azure Dragon Academy... it has broken through its cultivation level!"

"Calamity-level! Azure Dragon Academy actually has a Calamity-level guardian beast!"

"I heard that Azure Dragon Academy suddenly rose to prominence and defeated White Tiger Academy one after another after this black python appeared."

"Now it seems that the existence of this black python is probably the real reason for the rise of Azure Dragon Academy!"

Current bloodline purity: 1% → 3%

Su Chen slowly opened his golden vertical pupils.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.

Before anyone knew it, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the thick clouds as black as ink, constantly emitting muffled thunder, as if a giant thunder beast that had been sleeping for eternity was slowly awakening.

Streaks of lightning flashed among the dark clouds, illuminating the sky outside the secret realm with flickering light.

"Lightning Tribulation!"

Someone gasped in disbelief.

In their minds, only when an eighth-level martial arts grandmaster attempts to break through to the ninth level will a lightning tribulation be triggered.

The fact that a ferocious beast breaking through a realm would attract a lightning tribulation is unheard of.

"This lightning tribulation is probably no ordinary lightning tribulation."

Zheng Yuanshan looked up at the sky above, his expression solemn.

He could clearly sense the terrifying power brewing within the clouds.

The dark clouds in the sky stretched for nearly a hundred miles. If this lightning tribulation were to strike down, it would probably be enough to instantly obliterate a sixth-level martial artist.

Although Su Chen's physical strength is certainly far superior to that of a sixth-tier human martial artist, whether he can withstand it is still unknown.

Lin Fan, Xu Liyue, Chu Yunfeng, and Kong Bowen also looked at Su Chen with a hint of worry in their eyes.

Just then, a thick, pillar-like purple lightning bolt tore through the clouds, carrying a world-destroying force, and slammed down on Su Chen's massive figure.

Lightning exploded in the air, illuminating the surrounding mountains and forests as if it were daytime.

Many students were so frightened by this overwhelming power that they retreated repeatedly.

Everyone at Qinglong Academy couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The intensity of this lightning tribulation was far more terrifying than they had imagined!

However, Su Chen appeared unusually calm.

He raised his serpent head, his golden vertical pupils reflecting the approaching lightning. Instead of retreating, he opened his huge mouth to meet the lightning pillar that was several meters thick, and swallowed the terrifying lightning bolt whole.

"boom!"

A muffled thud came from Su Chen's body.

"It tastes good."

Su Chen opened the snake's mouth, let out a burp, and countless purple arcs of electricity seemed to move like small snakes within its mouth.

"The heavenly lightning... it was actually swallowed?"

"Am I seeing things? This thing is edible?"

Countless people stared wide-eyed in shock at this astonishing scene.

"As expected of you..."

Zheng Yuanshan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but smile with relief.

The clouds churned for a moment, then began to slowly disperse as if they had lost their target.

The long-awaited sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell on the enormous black figure more than eighty meters long on the ground, coating its scales with a golden luster.

Current bloodline purity: 3% → 5%

"Only five percent...?"

Su Chen sensed his new body.

I initially wanted to complain a bit, but I quickly dismissed the idea.

He then realized that the power of the Zhulong bloodline far exceeded his imagination.

Even with only a five percent increase, his strength, speed, perception, and recovery abilities all surged, with the magnitude of the increase far exceeding any of his previous evolutions.

Su Chen's current strength can no longer be simply measured by his cultivation level.

Although he had just advanced to the first level of the Calamity level, in front of him, even ferocious beasts at the fifth or sixth level of the Calamity level were just appetizers.

Su Chen narrowed his snake-like eyes in satisfaction, his golden vertical pupils sweeping over the group from Azure Dragon Academy: "Let's go, it's time to go back to school."
