"ROAR!!!"
The extremely diluted dragon blood within Qiu Lin's body began to boil.
The inheritance of his draconic lineage was awakened by this drop of true dragon essence.
Even in the Nine Heavens, pure-blooded dragons treasured their bloodline above all else. However, dragons were inherently lustful creatures, and many pure-blooded dragons frequently broke their own taboos, secretly mating with various races across the Nine Heavens.
Dragons and serpents produced the Dragon-Python Clan.
Dragons and Black Tortoises birthed the Xuanwu Clan.
Dragons and whales gave rise to the Dragon-Whales.
Dragons and humans hybridized into the "Little Dragonfolk"...
Over time, the purity of the dragon bloodline became increasingly diluted.
According to records Jiang Che had read in the Nine Heavens Chronicles, dragons had earned quite the infamous reputation—being dubbed "The Hybridization Experts."
However, dragons could employ various methods to refine their bloodline inheritance, and the most common technique was using the essence blood of a higher-ranking dragon to purify their own lineage.
For instance, right now, after absorbing a single drop of true dragon essence, Qiu Lin's bloodline was rapidly refined.
The originally pitch-black scales covering his body soon fell away, replaced by crimson-red scales that shimmered with heat. His horns also grew larger and more imposing.
"ROAR!"
After another deafening roar, he fully revealed his true form—a monstrous dragon stretching a hundred meters in length. His old scales were completely shed, replaced by new ones, while his dragon blood surged like molten lava.
His claws grew sharper, his appearance more ferocious and majestic.
His power skyrocketed in layers, nearly breaking through to the Divine Passage Realm in an instant... yet he remained stuck at the Half-Step Divine Passage stage.
Even dragons had to undergo tribulations. Without overcoming them, no matter how pure your bloodline was, your cultivation would never advance.
"Flame Dragon King! He’s evolving toward the Flame Dragon King’s bloodline!"
A dragon expert exclaimed in shock.
The Flame Dragon King bloodline was one of the most prestigious branches of dragonkind. If refined to its ancestral purity, it granted the potential to reach the level of an Emperor!
"This... this waste actually... actually obtained such a bloodline?"
Feeling the overwhelming pressure of Qiu Lin’s superior bloodline, the dozen or so Divine Passage experts from the Dragon Palace fell into stunned silence.
Jealousy burned uncontrollably within them.
In dragon society, bloodline purity dictated one’s future achievements—a rigid hierarchy where status was everything.
Given Qiu Lin’s original bloodline, he should have been doomed to remain at Half-Step Divine Passage for life. But now, thanks to currying favor with Jiang Che... he had ascended to the heavens in a single step.
No—this was even more absurd than ascending to the heavens.
It was like a penniless loser suddenly inheriting a hundred billion in wealth.
Like a failed civil service exam candidate discovering he was actually the long-lost son of a provincial governor.
Like a lowborn Shudra from India somehow marrying a Brahmin heiress and inheriting a trillion-dollar fortune!
This was beyond even the wildest dreams!
After a long while, Qiu Lin’s aura gradually stabilized.
"ROOOOAR—"
A dragon’s cry pierced the skies before his massive form vanished without a trace.
At the same time, high above the ocean depths... a sea-born lightning tribulation descended!
The Divine Passage Tribulation!
Though Qiu Lin’s tribulation was nowhere near as outrageous as Jiang Che’s, it was still extraordinary.
"Hah... quite the spectacle," Jiang Che chuckled before turning his gaze to the remaining dragons.
"Let’s continue. Where were we? Ah, right—the Dragon Princess."
The dragonfolk: "......"
How could they possibly focus on that now?
Their emotions were in turmoil. If even Qiu Lin could obtain true dragon blood... then why not them?!
Their eyes locked onto Jiang Che, burning with fervor.
Echoing in their minds was Qiu Lin’s earlier whisper: "The Nine Heavens has an old saying—'A wise man submits to circumstances.'"
"Dragon Princess! Young Master Jiang... I know things about the Dragon Princess!" a Little Dragonfolk blurted out.
The others immediately panicked.
"Young Master Jiang! I know many secrets of the Dragon Palace, including those about the Dragon Princess!"
"Me too!"
Indeed, the Dragon Princess was an untouchable existence to all dragonfolk—a being of supreme nobility, beauty, and power.
In the past, they were mere nobodies, destined never to have their bloodlines purified. So even at the cost of their lives, they would never betray her.
But now... Young Master Jiang had given them real hope!
What did the Dragon Princess even matter? Just a dragon with slightly purer blood? Once their bloodlines were refined... she’d be nothing! They could just find a high-bloodline female dragon and breed their own princess!
Are kings and nobles born into their status?
"Young Master Jiang! This old servant knows how to communicate with the Nine Heavens Dragon Palace!" A hunched elder dragon raised his trembling hand excitedly.
A peak Fourth Revolution Divine Passage dragon.
"And... this old servant also has... the Dragon Princess’s... photobook collection!"
The elder’s hands shook violently as he pulled out an enormous box from his spatial ring.
The other dragons: "???"
Jiang Che: "???"
With trembling fingers, the elder opened the box, revealing a stack of thick photobooks.
[Mermaid Queen Ultra HD Photos – 524P]
[Mermaid Princess Stunning Shots – 688P]
...
After rummaging for a while, he finally pulled out the thickest one.
[Dragon Princess Super Deluxe Photobook – 2999P]
"Young Master Jiang... this is the Dragon Princess’s..."
"Hand it all over!"
In the next second, every single photobook vanished into Jiang Che’s system storage.
The elder: "???"
Meanwhile, Jiang Che casually flipped open the Dragon Princess’s photobook.
As he scanned the pages, his eyebrows rose slightly, and a flash of admiration crossed his eyes.
With a sweep of his divine sense, he absorbed every image in the book before closing it.
Honestly, he was stunned.
This was what it meant to have lips like cherry blossoms and a bosom like hidden valleys. At this moment, his desire to become a Dragon Knight reached an all-time high.
He would become one—no force in heaven or earth could stop him!
Unfortunately, every photo in the book was modestly covered up.
Calling it a "photobook" was generous—it was just a collection of high-resolution, fully clothed portraits.
But for a celestial beauty of this level, there would never be any risque leaks. No one would dare spy on her, let alone steal private shots.
As the saying goes: "Book knowledge is shallow; true understanding comes from personal experience!"
"Young... Young Master Jiang, these photos took this old servant centuries to collect..."
"Hm? Your photos? Does it have your name on it?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.
"Reporting to Young Master, it... it does. There are two small characters on the cover..." The elder’s voice grew quieter.
Jiang Che’s lips twitched. It actually does?!
"Young... Young Master Jiang! This old servant relinquishes them! They are all offerings to you!"
The elder quickly made his choice.
No pain, no gain!
Even if these photobooks had cost him countless... personal sacrifices over the years.
"Heh... not bad. This is for you." Jiang Che curled his lips into a faint smile and tossed an old dragon a crimson crystal.
Dragonblood Crystal—though not as precious as true dragon essence—held an irresistible allure for dragonkind.
The best part? These crystals were as common as pebbles in the Canglong Ring, utterly worthless.
"Dragonblood Crystal?!"
"Young Master Jiang! I—I have something too! My storage ring holds over a thousand memory stones, recording more than a million films... if you catch my drift!"
A younger dragon piped up, straining his neck eagerly.
Jiang Che: "???"
There's always a bigger fish?

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain?

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
