Without the slightest hesitation, he pressed the detonation switch!
No sound.
A single beam of pure white light, powerful enough to pierce the retina, instantly spread wildly in all directions from him!
The entire deep trench was illuminated as brightly as day at this moment!
"Roar--!"
The Thorn Dragon King's optic nerves suffered an unprecedented shock under the stimulation of the bright light, and it let out a muffled and painful roar.
It's now!
Lin Che had no intention of lingering in the fight. He suddenly flipped his body in the water, used his legs to propel himself forward, and swam wildly toward his only target—the sea surface!
Behind them, the enraged ancient dragon king let out a roar that shook the entire sea!
Its raging fury caused it to completely abandon its guardian stance. Its massive body stirred up terrifying undercurrents, carrying overwhelming killing intent as it broke through the water curtain and chased after the enemy!
This was exactly what Lin Che wanted!
"Crack-!"
A huge splash erupted, and the ferocious yet majestic head of the ancient Thorn Dragon King burst out of the sea.
What awaited it was Lin Che, who had been waiting for a long time, and his cold and resolute command.
"Nine-Tails, now! [Blizzard]!"
Alola Ninetales, which had been poised to pounce on the deck, heard its master's call.
A cold glint flashed in its icy blue eyes, and nine magnificent tails, as if sculpted from ice crystals, gracefully unfurled in the air!
A terrifying chill, powerful enough to freeze one's soul, spewed from its mouth!
That was neither wind nor snow, but a white torrent visible to the naked eye, composed purely of extreme cold energy!
"Click! Click-click-click—!"
The sickening freezing sound echoed through the sky!
Centered on the ancient Thorn Dragon King that had just burst out of the water and had not yet had time to react, the physical form of the sea surface within a radius of 100 meters was forcibly altered by this terrifying cold current!
In just a few seconds, an impenetrable, thick layer of ice appeared out of thin air on this sea!
The Thorn Dragon King, frozen solid on the ice, let out a roar of shock and rage.
Its lower body was trapped in solid ice, its proud advantage in the water was completely lost, and its mobility was reduced to the extreme in an instant!
Lin Che seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which he had won with his life and wisdom!
"Arcanine! Ninetales! Full power attack!"
Arcanine could no longer contain itself, and with a roar, blazing flames erupted from its body.
The Nine-Tails then gathered the power of frost once more.
The symphony of ice and fire begins at this moment!
Although Kingdra was strong, it was temporarily suppressed due to the loss of its terrain advantage and the fact that it was countered by Nine-Tailed Fox.
However, under its terrifying power, spiderweb-like cracks have begun to appear on the ice surface.
time is limited!
Lin Che's gaze was fixed on the [Dragon Scale] beside the Thorn Dragon King, which rose and fell with its body's struggles!
"Growlithe, that's it!"
he yelled.
The Arcanine understood immediately. It pushed off with its hind legs, and its entire body suddenly transformed into a golden lightning bolt!
Unparalleled speed!
Fast! Extremely fast!
It was so fast that even the King Thorn Dragon's angry gaze couldn't catch its trajectory!
The golden light flashed away.
Before Kingdra's incredulous gaze, Arcanine reappeared on the deck, carrying the [Dragon Scale] that radiated holy light!
"Success!"
Lin Che took the scale and held it tightly in his palm.
"Evacuate at full speed!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs towards the cockpit.
After a brief silence, the engines of the "Breaking Waves" roared deafeningly!
The dull roar of the ship breaking through the waves, mixed with the howling of the sea wind, constituted the only main melody at this moment.
The outline of the island behind me was rapidly shrinking in my field of vision, eventually turning into a blurry ink dot between the sea and the sky.
The ancient Thorn Dragon King's furious roar, which nearly tore the sky apart, was completely swallowed by the waves and could no longer catch up with the "Wavebreaker's" full-speed trajectory.
On the deck, several sailors slumped to the ground, panting heavily, their faces showing relief at surviving the ordeal.
After several hours of tension, my nerves finally relaxed, and a wave of fatigue washed over me.
Lin Che ignored the noise from the outside world.
He returned alone to his narrow but quiet cabin.
The moment the hatch closed, all the noise from the outside world was shut out.
He spread his palms.
A golden scale lay quietly in his palm.
It is not an inanimate object.
It was an indescribable sense of life, a warm touch emanating from the skin of the palm, carrying a hint of ancient desolation and gentleness. Inside the scales, a shimmering light flowed slowly like liquid gold, as if each pulse was synchronized with a slumbering ancient will.
Lin Che's breathing unconsciously slowed down.
His gaze was extremely focused.
【Dragon Scales】.
This treasure, obtained through a near-death experience from the lair of the ancient Thorn Dragon King, has a true value that cannot be measured by simple experience points.
That is a fundamental completion.
It is a baptism at the level of bloodline.
Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and walked to the bedside, gently picking up the mini dragon that was curled up in a ball and breathing evenly.
The little one slept soundly, seemingly unaffected by the previous thrilling battle. Her petite body rose and fell slightly with the rocking of the ship, and a satisfied murmur even lingered on her lips.
Lin Che's movements were extremely gentle.
He held the mini dragon in one hand, and with the other hand, he held the golden [Dragon Scale], slowly, inch by inch, approaching the mini dragon's smooth forehead.
His heart even stopped beating for a moment at that moment.
Success or failure hinges on this moment.
Finally, that warm, smooth scale made its first contact with the dwarf dragon's delicate skin.
There was no warning.
There was no sound.
A sudden change occurred!
Om-!
An indescribable golden light suddenly erupted from the point where the scales touched the dragon's forehead!
The light was not dazzling; instead, it possessed an ultimate gentleness and holiness, like the first ray of light at the dawn of creation. It instantly dispelled all the shadows in the cabin, bathing every corner in a pure, unblemished gold.
Surrounded by light, the tiny body of the Dratini was completely enveloped and lifted, slowly suspending in mid-air.
It opened its eyes.
There was no trace of panic or pain in those clear, obsidian-like eyes.
"Yan..."
A soft, deeply satisfying murmur, emanating from the depths of its soul, escaped its throat.
The voice was soft, yet it possessed a peculiar penetrating power, as if every syllable was announcing a grand return.
Lin Che could clearly sense that a primordial power originating from ancient times and the deepest part of his bloodline was surging wildly into the Mini Dragon's body.
Every single cell in it is greedily absorbing this power.
Every inch of its bloodline cheered and leaped with joy under the baptism of this power.
Those ancient and powerful power imprints belonging to the Dragonite clan, which lie dormant at the very bottom of the genetic chain, were completely activated and awakened at this moment!
Lin Che held his breath, his eyes fixed on the sacred scene before him.
He seemed to see a bloodline chain spanning the river of time being reconnected, tempered, and sublimated!
I don’t know how much time has passed.
It might be a minute, or it might be a century.
The golden light enveloping the miniature dragon began to slowly, as if it were alive, recede inward.
The light grew fainter and fainter, eventually transforming into a final wisp of golden firefly, which completely merged into the body of the miniature dragon, leaving no trace.
The little guy floated back into Lin Che's arms, blinked, nuzzled his chest affectionately, and then... fell into a deep sleep again.
It was as if the earth-shattering transformation just now was merely a fleeting dream.
Everything has returned to calm.
Lin Che's heart was pounding wildly at that moment, almost bursting out of his chest.
He immediately recited the command in his mind and brought up the panel of the [Eye of Truth].
A deep blue virtual screen instantly unfolded before his eyes.
