As soon as he activated the skill, the Golden Dragon released him immediately. The Golden Dragon's hand was scalded by the energy that came from Tang Shaoyang's body. The Golden Dragon flew back, making a distance from Tang Shaoyang.
"What happened?" The Golden Dragon looked at the black energy that formed a sphere with the human as the center. He was confused because that black energy could hurt him. He looked at his palm that burned. His tough skin burned up and his burning flesh was revealed.
The energy was so lethal because he just held the man for a short time, but the energy could burn him to this extent. The Golden Dragon looked at the energy sphere worriedly. On top of that, the energy sphere was getting bigger and bigger. The sphere reached twenty meters tall already.
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang lost his vision. Everything was black, dark. However, he could sense everything around him, and from that, he could sense the Golden Dragon as well, who was in the distance, looking at him.
"But what is this?" He spoke but he could not hear his voice. Aside from losing vision and not being able to speak, everything was amazing. Even without his vision, it was as if he could see everything. He could even feel that the Golden Dragon was worried about him. Yes, he could sense the Golden Dragon's worry. Not worried about his well-being, of course. The Golden Dragon was worried about the energy sphere.
Tang Shaoyang himself did not know what happened to him. His consciousness was clear and awake, but it was merely consciousness. He could not feel his body. The sphere was getting bigger and bigger until it reached forty meters tall. It had become much bigger than the Golden Dragon. The Golden Dragon was around twenty meters long, half of the energy sphere.
The Golden Dragon was truly concerned with that energy sphere. If that energy sphere exploded, then he could not escape from the explosion in this limited dimension, "I have to prevent the energy sphere from getting bigger."
The Golden Dragon took the initiative to attack the energy sphere. He opened his jaw as golden fire gathered in his mouth. He did not immediately fire the shot. The Golden Dragon held the shot to gather more power.
Swoosh!
Just like a beam, the Golden Fire shot through the air and hit the energy sphere. The golden fire engulfed the energy sphere, but that was it. Nothing happened afterward as the golden fire slowly dispersed and revealed the unscathed energy sphere.
The Golden Dragon gave a second, third, and fourth try, but it was futile. The golden fire could not damage the energy sphere. It could not be touched, and it could not be destroyed with his fire as well. The Golden Dragon was powerless before the energy sphere.
Tang Shaoyang watched everything. He was worried at first, but then the golden fire could do nothing to the energy sphere. The energy sphere was like an unbreakable cocoon that protected him from danger, "But what is this? What should I do?" Tang Shaoyang also did not know what happened to him. He thought he would transform into a real dragon, but that was not the case.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
"Huh!?" Tang Shaoayang then heard a heartbeat. The sound was clear in his ears, though he did not have one. There was one thing that weirded him. He heard a heartbeat from two hearts. Yes, the thumping sound resounded concurrently.
Tang Shaoyang could not explain what happened in the next few minutes. It was as if he was being reborn again. The moment his vision returned, he was a sixty meters tall dragon. He looked at his hands that had turned into claws.
He wiggled his tail and opened his wings. His wing was so wide, reaching sixty meters' wingspan. He moved his body around to get used to his new body before he focused on the Golden Dragon. The enormous Golden Dragon just now looked small before him.
"What's up, buddy?" Tang Shaoyang opened his mouth and spoke to the Golden Dragon.
"Fake Dragon! You are Fake! The Fake Dragon could never beat the real Dragon!" The Golden Dragon shouted at Tang Shaoyang, who had turned into a black dragon. He used teleportation and appeared above Tang Shaoyang. The Golden Dragon opened his mouth as the golden fire gathered in his mouth.
"There you go," Tang Shaoyang looked up and opened his mouth as well. With his new form, he easily sensed the space fluctuation and predicted where the Golden Dragon would appear. That was so easy when he transformed into an actual dragon.
The black fire gathered in Tang Shaoyang's mouth. He was going to use his fire to fight the Golden Dragon's fire. The moment the Golden Dragon released the golden fire, Tang Shaoyang also shot his black fire.
Two different fires from different dragons clashed in the air. The clash did not last long as the black fire engulfed the golden fire and shot through toward the Golden Dragon. The latter managed to teleport away before the black fire hit him.
The Golden Dragon made a distance from the enormous Black Dragon as their situation switched. Tang Shaoyang was now cornering the Golden Dragon.
"I will not lose against Fake Dragon!" The prideful Gold Dragon used his teleportation once again. It was fast, but the current Tang Shaoyang easily saw through the teleportation.
"So from behind now," as the Golden Dragon appeared behind him, Tang Shaoyang immediately used his tail. His tail coiled around the Golden Dragon's body and slammed The Golden Dragon to the ground. "This is the payback of what you have done to me,"
Tang Shaoyang slammed the Golden Dragon's head to the ground, not just once, but repeatedly. After slamming the Golden Dragon dozens of times, he threw the Golden Dragon away. The Golden Dragon did not even try to maneuver in the air as his body crashed to the ground.
Boom!
The Golden Dragon stood up. He had lost one of his horns. Blood painted his golden scales around the face area. "This is not possible. Which foolish dragon gives everything away to a mere human? This is impossible." The Golden Dragon muttered in a low voice. The young dragon could not believe what he saw right now.
There were three ways to inherit a bloodline, at least three ways for a dragon to inherit their bloodline to a non-dragon descendant. First, it was a drop of a Dragon's blood essence. Second, Half-Inheritance, meaning the Dragon would give half of his blood essence. Third, Full-Inheritance, meaning the Dragon would give up his life to inherit the bloodline, giving off everything not just blood essence, but also Dragon's heart.
A drop of blood essence was enough to strengthen the constitution of the inheritor. The Half-Inheritance would grant the inheritor of a transformation ability like what Tang Shaoyang did earlier and also inherited the fire of the dragon. The last part was where basically the dragon was giving everything off. It was the same as giving birth to a new dragon.
The Golden Dragon did not expect there would be a dragon that would give a full inheritance to a lowly human. It was something he could not believe.
"What? Are you done now?" Looking at the Golden Dragon who was in a daze, Tang Shaoyang opened his mouth. He received no response from the Golden Dragon as the latter kept looking at him with a shocked gaze.
"If you don't want to make your move, then I will." Tang Shaoyang activated [Flash Step] and appeared right in front of the Golden Dragon. He stepped on the Golden Dragon's head and pinned the head down on the ground. He then opened his mouth right before the Golden Dragon's face as the black fire gathered in his mouth. He would finish the Golden Dragon with his black fire.
"No, please! Don't kill me! I will do anything for you! Anything! But please don't kill me! We can form a Companion Pact- No, let's form a slave contract instead! I am willing to be your slave, but please spare my life!" The Golden Dragon snapped out of his trance and offered something tempting, so he would not be killed.
Tang Shaoyang stopped his fire attack and looked at the Golden Dragon, "But this is my trial. I have to kill you- wait…" He stopped midway as he thought of something. The trial did not ask him to kill the monster but beat the monster. Forming a Companion Pact with the Golden Dragon might be counted as defeating the special wave?
"Alright, but I have a condition. I want you to form a life Companion Pact," Tang Shaoyang grinned at the Golden Dragon. Lifetime Companion Pact was a pact where the companion would die if he died. That meant the Golden Dragon's life connected to his life. It was thanks to Greed, who was willing to form a lifetime Companion Pact with him before he started the trial.
The Golden Dragon did not give a second thought as it immediately gave in. There was a notification ringing in his head with a screen popping out at the same time.
[The Golden Dragon is willing to form a lifetime Companion Pact with you? (Accept) (Decline)]
[You have formed a lifetime Companion Pact with The Golden Dragon!]
[Please name your companion!]
"You don't have a name yet?" Tang Shaoyang asked the dejected Golden Dragon. If the Golden Dragon had a name already, then he would use that name instead.
"Yes, I have a name, Imperion. However, I want a new name, Master. I will never use the name given by my parents! Please grant me a new name!" Tang Shaoyang had released the Golden Dragon from his grasp. Now the Golden Dragon was kneeling toward him.
"Huuu, I can feel the hatred, so strong," Tang Shaoyang was surprised that the Golden Dragon had a deep hatred when he mentioned the parents, "Let me think about it,"
