Chapter 2: Ten Thousand Feet of Golden Light Reflecting, Huanggu Shenglong!

That huge dragon shadow with ten thousand feet of golden light was like a supreme holy dragon descended from mythology. Its dragon eyes were like torches, its dragon scales were like cast gold, and every piece shimmered with light that made it impossible to look directly at. Its posture coiled in the air, as if it had brought the entire heaven and earth under its body.

"Gold... golden light reflecting... this... this is an SSS-grade Dragon Spirit!"

Someone exclaimed with a trembling voice.

In the entire Jianghai City, an SSS-grade Dragon Spirit had not been born for over three hundred years.

Chen Junlin was hailed as the prodigy with the most hope of awakening an SSS-grade Dragon Spirit, but most people just took it as hype, like the "beauty once in four thousand years" type of thing.

No one expected that Chen Junlin could actually do it! "Holy crap! Senior Chen is too awesome! He actually really awakened an SSS-grade Dragon Spirit?!"

"Senior Chen was already excellent, and coupled with that perfect piece just now, it's simply like adding wings to a tiger!"

"That flute piece just now was indeed amazing, but I've never heard it before. Does anyone know what piece it is?"

"Idiot, that's obviously an original musical melody. Besides Senior Chen, who else could answer you?"

Shock!

Envy!

The people in the entire square were discussing endlessly, all with their eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the huge dragon shadow reflecting golden light, trying to see clearly the species of this SSS-grade Dragon Spirit.

"Hum—"

Golden ripples spread out from the Dragon Spirit. That was the Dragon Spirit's power awakening. Every one of its dragon scales was shining, as if carrying endless energy.

"Is... is this the power of an SSS-grade Dragon Spirit?"

"It just awakened, and the aura alone completely crushes my dad's B-grade Dragon Spirit—the Xuanhuolong!"

A young boy trembled with excitement, unable to hide the shock in his heart.

"It's too unbelievable! I never thought that in my lifetime, I would be able to witness the scene of an SSS-grade Dragon Spirit being born!"

"And—"

"This is still an SSS-grade Dragon Spirit born from an original musical melody!"

"The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared!"

A teacher couldn't help but sigh.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Principal Zhao Yunlong was so excited that his face flushed red. He stared at the golden Dragon Spirit above the firmament with fiery eyes, never expecting that Chen Junlin would bring him such a huge surprise.

With this, the ranking of Yunhai Middle School would definitely improve by several grades, and there would be more various subsidy resources from above.

Most importantly, the future of the Human Race would have one more top powerhouse.

Because for the past thousand years on Tianlan Star, every Dragon Spirit Master who awakened an SSS-grade Dragon Spirit was not weak; even support-type Dragon Spirits possessed unfathomable talent characteristics.

And at the same moment, inside the clouds where no one knew.

A middle-aged man in military uniform couldn't wait to send a message.

"Chen Junlin, abandoned illegitimate son of the Yanjing Lu Family, clean family background, awakening golden light reached the ten thousand feet limit, is an extreme SSS-grade Dragon Spirit. Because the Dragon Spirit came from an original musical melody, the Dragon Spirit species category is temporarily unknown, but the potential is bound to be immense. Can be recruited into the Special Department, and focus on cultivating and protecting with extreme resources..."

Afterward.

The middle-aged man in military uniform looked at Chen Junlin with eyes full of appreciation.

Awakening a "Dragon Spirit" is of paramount importance, concerning the future of the Human Race. To prevent any "accidents," every time an awakening ceremony is held, if there are particularly excellent students, in addition to the regular local garrison army, the higher-ups will dispatch high-level powerhouses to watch over them in secret.

Because in the past thousand years, there had been "prodigies" who encountered assassinations by underground forces, kidnappings, the descent of different dimensions... and other unpredictable things.

"No wonder, after so long, that girl Xiaowei has still been talking about him..."

"This kid is really too unexpected."

"I originally thought he would awaken at most an S-grade!"

"An extreme SSS-grade Dragon Spirit—in the entire thousand years of Tianlan Star, there have only been those ten seniors!"

The middle-aged man in military uniform sighed to himself.

Although, in most people's cognition, golden light represents the awakening of an SSS-grade Dragon Spirit, and they wouldn't care about the size of the golden light, those powerhouses like them knew very well that the strength of the golden light actually concerns the potential of the SSS-grade Dragon Spirit.

Ten thousand feet of golden light is an extreme SSS-grade Dragon Spirit! If one refers to those ten seniors, this also represents that this Dragon Spirit Master has the potential to 100% become a "God."

"With such a potential prodigy on the Human Race's side, we will have more chances of winning in the future."

"I just don't know what this kid's Dragon Spirit talent characteristics are! I imagine they shouldn't be ordinary either..."

The strength of a Dragon Spirit, besides being related to quality and potential, is the "talent characteristics," and this is even the key that determines a Dragon Spirit Master's combat power.

After a pause.

The middle-aged man in military uniform's gaze suddenly looked toward the direction of Yanjing, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, those heartless old things in the Lu Family, if they knew that the illegitimate son they abandoned could actually awaken an extreme SSS-grade Dragon Spirit, I'm afraid they would regret it from the beginning, right?"

He naturally knew a little about the matter between Chen Junlin and the Lu Family.

Chen Junlin's mother, Chen Yao, was admitted to Yanjing University twenty years ago and met the Lu Family prodigy of that time—Lu Lingxuan. They developed feelings for each other, and eventually, she married him and used her special Dragon Spirit to assist Lu Lingxuan in advancing further, greatly increasing his strength...

Everything looked beautiful.

As a result, after that, the Lu Family began to look down on Chen Yao, who had a humble background and an ordinary Dragon Spirit. Lu Lingxuan, whose Dragon Spirit talent had been enhanced, soon had a change of heart and fell for the daughter of another great family... Not only did he want to marry her, but he also forced Chen Yao to sign a divorce agreement.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Chen Yao took Chen Junlin and returned to Jianghai alone...

It's just a pity that after a Nightmare-level different dimension descended inexplicably, in order to protect Jianghai City, Chen Yao resolutely joined the battlefield, which eventually led to her being seriously injured, and she passed away not long after.

... And at this very moment—

Chen Junlin stood in the center of the awakening platform, the huge dragon shadow reflecting golden light echoing with him. He could vaguely feel a powerful mysterious force surging within the Dragon Spirit, a terrifying force sufficient to make him look down upon the world.

"Success!"

"SSS-grade Dragon Spirit!"

Chen Junlin muttered in his heart, his eyes flashing with excited light.

His choice was not wrong! As expected of the exclusive BGM for Huang Tiandi, it actually directly allowed him to awaken the highest-grade Dragon Spirit.

Swish—

The next second.

The Dragon Spirit seemed to feel Chen Junlin's emotions. It slowly lowered its dragon head, its eyes as bright as stars gazing deeply at Chen Junlin, as if saying: "You are my master."

Following that, the Dragon Spirit roared to the sky, and the sound of the dragon roar was like rolling spring thunder, resounding through the clouds.

The people in the entire square were captivated, as if just this one dragon roar could wash away the dust of their souls.

The Dragon Spirit's body began to rotate, and the golden dragon scales drew dazzling rays of light in the air. They intertwined, circled around Chen Junlin, and finally condensed into a "Golden Dragon Pearl," which fused into Chen Junlin's dantian.

Suddenly—

Chen Junlin felt a powerful force surging crazily within his flesh, blood, and bones, as if helping him open up one meridian after another, causing his Qi and blood, sense of smell, hearing, etc... all to improve by a large margin.

And at the moment the "Dragon Spirit" completely fused.

Chen Junlin also developed an inseparable connection with the "Dragon Spirit" inside his body and finally learned the talent characteristics of the "Dragon Spirit."

According to rumors, only after successfully awakening a Dragon Spirit would the "Wanjie Data Panel" in one's consciousness be unlocked, and it slowly floated in front of him.

【Huanggu Shenglong】

【Dragon Race Category: Special, and unique】

【Quality Potential: ∞ (No limit)】

【Talent Characteristic: Break Limit (Can break any restrictions of the world one is in, such as a Dragon Spirit Master only being able to awaken one Dragon Spirit, the Dragon Spirit having a maximum SSS quality, etc...)】

【Exclusive Divine Ability: Flower of Freedom (All kinds of divine abilities can be used for oneself)】

【Dragon Spirit Skills: Reincarnation Precious Art, Hand of the Heavens, Desolate Sword Art】

【Dragon Spirit Quantity: 1 (Due to the Break Limit talent characteristic, for every small realm improved, one can additionally awaken a Dragon Spirit on one's own, and 100% be endowed with the highest-level talent characteristic of the universe one is in)】

【Dragon Spirit Level: lv1 (Infancy)】

【Advancement Method: Hunting (0/100), Drinking Milk (0/100)】

???

"Holy crap!?"

When Chen Junlin saw the various attributes of this Dragon Spirit, he was also shocked, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.

Flower of Freedom?

Reincarnation Precious Art?

Hand of the Heavens?

And that advancement method, drinking milk?

He never expected that playing "Huang Tiandi's exclusive BGM" would actually awaken a Dragon Spirit with such a large "causal" connection.

This karma is a bit big! But, to be honest, it's really ridiculously strong! He couldn't even imagine that in this world where most Dragon Spirit Masters barely possess some "Bengshan Liede," "Fire Dragon Roar," "Blue Vine Entanglement," and other means, what kind of terrifying commotion a single "Hand of the Heavens" would cause when cast.

"And... and..."

"This 'Break Limit' characteristic seems a bit too ridiculous!"

"Not only can I awaken an additional Dragon Spirit every time I improve a small realm, but it also guarantees endowing me with the highest-level talent of the universe world?!"

"I don't know what this highest-level talent of the universe world is yet, but according to the records in the textbooks, the strength levels of Tianlan Star Dragon Spirit characteristics can be divided into 'Ordinary, Advanced, Rare, Precious, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Legendary, Epic, Mythical'!"

"This means that all the Dragon Spirits I awaken in the future will at least possess Mythical-level characteristics!!!"

Terrible! Heaven-defying!

Even if Chen Junlin tried to remain calm, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of joy on his face.

Because this meant that he only needed to keep developing, and he would definitely be able to stand at the peak of this world in the future! What's more.

Because he himself was a music lover, his memory held a large number of classic musical melodies from Earth that did not exist in this world...

He couldn't imagine what kind of heaven-defying Dragon Spirits would be awakened if he played those musical melodies with "special significance" and matched them with the "Break Limit" characteristic of the Huanggu Shenglong. Just as Chen Junlin was deep in thought.

Principal Zhao Yunlong finally recovered. He ran up with a flushed face, clapping frantically like a fanatical fan, and cheered excitedly: "Good! Good! Good!"

"SSS-grade Dragon Spirit!"

"Original musical melody!"

"Student Junlin, your... your performance is really too excellent! Too unexpected!"

"Worthy of being Jianghai City's number one... no, it should be Tianlan Star's number one prodigy today!"

"I... I don't know if I have the honor to know the name of this musical melody?"
