Chapter 509: Kang Jinlong Turned Into a Little Girl!

"Are you sure you want to do this? After obtaining this power, none of my memories have ever used it."

"Using this power directly on you might cause something strange to happen—I can't guarantee the outcome."

Facing Shengzai’s repeated confirmation, Kang Jinlong replied with confident tone: "My lord, rest assured and use this power. My intuition never fails."

Seeing Kang Jinlong’s firm expression, Shengzai no longer hesitated; he gathered the evolution power from the Pokémon world and pressed it directly onto Kang Jinlong’s dragon head.

As the evolution power entered Kang Jinlong’s body, her massive form erupted in blinding light, and under Shengzai’s stunned gaze, her shape began to change continuously...

"Why didn’t you tell me before you’re a female dragon? And a little girl dragon at that!"

Staring at the little girl before him—with waist-length black hair, a beautiful face, a petite frame, and dragon horns on her head—Shengzai was completely stunned.

Under the power of evolution, Kang Jinlong had indeed transformed into human form, just as she claimed.

But Shengzai never imagined that after transformation, Kang Jinlong would become a little girl with dragon horns and a defiant expression.

"I’ve always been female. As for why I took this form after transformation, it must be related to my lord."

Now in human form, Kang Jinlong cared little for her appearance; she was delighted by her increased power and the fact that she could remain by Shengzai’s side.

Kang Jinlong’s original level was 85; after being strengthened by Shengzai’s evolution power, she not only successfully transformed into human form but also rose ten levels to 95.

Seeing Kang Jinlong successfully transform into an independent life form remaining in this world, Shengzai was pleasantly surprised after his initial shock.

If Kang Jinlong could do this, then the other Star Constellation Spirit Guardians could likely do the same.

Just as Shengzai prepared to summon the other Star Constellation Spirit Guardians for a massive enhancement, he discovered that while his "Spirit Guardian Summoning" ability had grown stronger in this world, its restrictions had also increased.

Simply put, due to his own level limit, he could now only temporarily summon Kang Jinlong and grant her evolution power for enhancement.

To summon more Spirit Guardians, he needed to raise his own level.

In other words, his original level of 32 needed to be raised further before he could summon more Spirit Guardians.

"I need to prioritize leveling up sooner."

"But before that, I should return home first—otherwise, what happened earlier might be hard to explain."

Old Bone returned to the Necropolis of Nazarick, gathered all the guardians of each layer, and recounted his journey’s observations, hoping his loyal subordinates would offer opinions and strategies.

Likewise, Shengzai returned to the capital of the Ri Ye Sijie Kingdom with the transformed Kang Jinlong.

Although Gao Da had been the one to escort the "Sunlight Scripture" back to the capital first,

in speed, Shengzai and his party, as dragon knights, arrived faster.

As Gao Da raced back to the capital, King Ramboza III was already ordering troop mobilization to reinforce the kingdom’s Warrior Chief at the border.

Gao Da was a vital military asset and utterly loyal to the kingdom and its king.

If the kingdom’s strongest warrior were removed, its growing prosperity would inevitably invite neighboring nations’ greed.

Not to mention their longtime rivals, the Bahas Empire—if they learned of the Warrior Chief’s misfortune, they would surely seize the opportunity.

"Father, let me lead the army on this rescue mission. I guarantee I will bring back the Warrior Chief unharmed."

During the royal council, Prince Baburo, with his rugged appearance, stepped forward to claim the mission, hoping to gain merit and secure Gao Da’s support.

Although King Ramboza III was elderly, he had never officially named a crown prince.

Prince Baburo enjoyed the most noble support in the kingdom, yet he had never gained control over the military.

The reason was simple: the kingdom’s military power had always been held by the strongest Warrior Chief, Gao Da, who was Ramboza III’s trusted confidant.

Thus, Baburo did not wish to miss this chance to gain merit.

If he succeeded in rescuing Gao Da, he would not only prove his military talent to the aging king but also earn Gao Da’s favor—truly a two-fold gain.

"Father, I find this matter highly suspicious. Where did you hear that the Warrior Chief was betrayed?"

"Sending large forces to the border without cause might provoke an extreme reaction from the Empire and the Church State. We should first dispatch scouts or hire adventurers to investigate before deciding."

In contrast to the rugged Prince Baburo, Prince Zhanake was an unremarkable-looking, slightly overweight prince.

Frankly, outsiders would find it hard to believe that Baburo and Zhanake shared the same bloodline as the Golden Princess Lana.

Prince Baburo was stubborn and talentless, yet in physical strength, he was still far superior to the obese Zhanake.

As rivals for the throne, Zhanake also had noble backing, but being more skilled in domestic affairs, he now actively undermined his brother to prevent him from gaining merit.

"The one who informed me of this was Shengzai. With his political instincts and abilities, he wouldn’t act without cause."

"Moreover, Gao Da hasn’t sent any word for two days—that’s why I summoned you all to discuss this."

Upon hearing Shengzai’s name from the old king, both Baburo and Zhanake’s expressions immediately fell.

Though they constantly fought for the throne, they both knew deep down.

Their greatest rival for the throne was not each other—it was their younger half-brother, Shengzai.

Had Shengzai not been a bastard prince, they wouldn’t even have the right to compete with him.

And the reason? Because their third-prince brother was simply too outstanding.

From childhood, Shengzai displayed exceptional talent in both military and domestic affairs, and their father, Ramboza III, had always been proud of him.
