It has been 21 days since Zao Ning has been trapped in his room by his master and he has grown by strides. Little did the reincarnated dragon know but after he absorbed more of his old bloodline, his ability to cultivate increased by a lot.

Today is actually another day where he will advance another realm. He advanced to the 6th Mortal Realm 7 days into training and today, 21 days in, Zao Ning knows he will advance to the 7th Mortal Realm.

Closing his eyes and calming down his breath, Zao Ning focuses his soul on his cultivation veins and once again directs the worms inside of his body to fight to the death until one of each Ki type is left standing.

Unsurprisingly, the scarred one from before for the lightning worms is the victorious. As for the shadow worms, after there being one left, the worm itself became a shade darker than before. Turning from a light black to a dark black.

The static emitting from the lightning worm becomes darker and more powerful.

The two last surviving worms look at each other and begin to crawl in a circle, staring at each other intensely, as if waiting for the other one to strike first. Finally, the two begin to screech at each other and run at each other at full speeds!

Blood thirst is wafting through the air as the two worms begin the struggle for life or death!

Of course to Zao Ning, the intense situation to the worms is boring and stale at this point. Especially the pitiful screeching the worms put out.

‘Hey! You two are not supposed to fight, cut it out!’ Zao Ning’s soul says to the two worms who are currently tangled together and are viciously headbutting each other.

Hearing their creator tell them to stop, the two worms reluctantly stop their gladiator like battle and harrumph at each other as they both go in opposite directions.

Thinking it is time to go back into their homes in Zao Ning’s veins, Zao Ning uses his soul to grab the lightning one. As it is picked up, the lightning worm begins to scream in terror as it knows what is about to happen.

The shadow one snickers as it looks at the lightning worm’s misfortune. The lightning worm gives the shadow worm a cold gaze as the two have become rivals.

Zao Ning uses his soul to carry the lightning worm against its will to the bloodline bead once again.

Zao Ning has managed to absorb 5% of his bloodline bead and the rewards from doing so are enormous.

Zao takes the scarred azure blue worm and brings it to where his bloodline bead is sitting. A small chunk of it is missing, showing Zao’s progress of absorbing it.

‘Welp, good luck.’ Zao says to the worm indifferently as he tosses it towards the bloodline bead. Being thrown towards its worst fear, the worm begins to screech at Zao Ning as if it were saying profanities.

Sensing the dense Lightning Ki coming towards it, the bead begins to glow and a powerful suction force emits from it.

The lightning worm screeches in protest but can do nothing as the bead sucks away its life force. Zao Ning’s soul watches as the bead begins to degrade little by little, a smile struck across his face.

Soon, the lightning worm becomes near death and Zao Ning, takes the poor worm away from the dangerous bead.

Taking the worm back to its home inside of his cultivation veins, Zao Ning starts to go through the physical change of the 7th Mortal Realm.

Pain strikes through his body as it degrades and regrows, anew. Cracking and ripping echoes throughout the room, yet Zao Ning doesn’t scream out in pain. To him, this pain isn’t compared as to when he advanced the later stages of the Fiend Realm.

With his body breaking down and regrowing, the bloodline from his past self is used as a catalyst without Zao Ning even knowing. This happens with all bloodlines and can change your body depending on how powerful your bloodline is and what the ancestor of your bloodline looked like.

With Zao Ning’s ancestor being the dragon version of himself, Zao Ning’s body slightly transform then what was originally intended. He stays at the same height, yet his muscles are so defined that just physically, it looked like Zao Ning could lift a boulder with one hand. His platinum hair becomes slightly longer and drapes down a little past his shoulders.

The teeth of Zao Ning make the most drastic change as they become pointed and serrated, like a dragon’s. The final touch, is his pupils become like slits instead of being round like a human’s.

Finishing the transformation, Zao Ning lets out a breath of dark air as his body is releasing the impurities of before. Sweat and a dark liquid covers his body.

The dragon like boy gets up and stretches, his bones cracking and popping as he does so.

One change as Zao Ning climbs the rank of the Mortal Realm is that he can start to sense the different types of Ki around him much better than before, to the point that he can see strands of the Ki surrounding him.

‘Well, I’ve grown much stronger since I’ve started my training to the point that people will become suspicious and jealous. For the time being, I will training attacks and abilities. I need to be ready to exact revenge on all of those who tried to kill mother. Heaven’s Pavillion, your ideas on how to raise geniuses through tragedy and pain will be your undoing!’

Electricity sparks from Zao Ning’s eyes as he can feel his blood boiling at how deceitful some humans are.

Of course, Zao Ning as a dragon was much worse when it came to being deceitful but he won’t admit it.

Closing his eyes, the once powerful and domineering aura of the 7th Mortal Realm is sealed within him and a 5th Mortal Realm aura takes its place.

Zao Ning reopens his eyes and sighs.

‘3 days until I’m released and 4 days until the tournament starts, will anyone be my match by then?’
