Panlong: Taotie bloodline, unlimited power growth!

Liuyun City.

Magnolia year 9960.

In late spring and early summer, a wave of heat simmered in the air.

The Bartley family's back garden, paved with thick granite, was now covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

A figure stood silently.

Raven was shirtless; his once somewhat immature body had now fully matured.

Sixteen years old.

He's 1.9 meters tall, and his muscles don't look like those bulky, greasy physiques.

Instead, they are like steel strands, with each bundle of muscle fibers containing explosive power.

Beneath his bronze skin, a faint shimmering light could be seen.

He casually sheathed the heavy sword, now weighing a thousand pounds, back into its sheath.

It didn't take much effort.

"Click."

The stone slab, unable to withstand the weight, shattered into powder with a crisp sound.

Raven looked down at the back of his hand.

The birthmark became increasingly grotesque.

The facial features, which were originally blurry, are now clearly visible.

A huge mouth occupies two-thirds of the design, as if it is about to devour everything in the world.

Whenever he stared at this pattern, an overwhelming sense of hunger would well up inside him.

It's not hunger in my stomach.

It's the cells roaring, craving energy, craving flesh and blood.

"call……"

Raven exhaled a breath of stale air.

Peak of the eighth level of Dou Qi.

Physical body at the peak of level seven.

This is the report card he has submitted over the past five years.

This is all thanks to the birthmark on the back of his hand, which constantly benefits Raven.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through the limits of the human body simply by hard training.

……

Dinner time.

The restaurant was dimly lit, and the long tables were piled high with roasted meat and bread.

The plates in front of Raven were piled up like a small mountain.

He ate very quickly, as if he were simply refueling his powerful body.

In the main seat.

Doug Bartley held a wine glass in his hand, the red wine swirling in it, but he hesitated to put it in his mouth.

His gaze fell on his son, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions, as if he were looking at a ferocious beast in human skin.

The scene from a month ago is still haunting him.

That was the family's martial arts training ground.

A simple sparring match between father and son.

Doug is a level nine peak warrior, just one step away from comprehending "momentum" and entering the Saint Realm.

Although he suppressed his strength in that battle, only using level eight battle qi.

But he has the vision and experience of a level nine warrior!

The results of it?

Raven didn't even draw his sword.

With just those fists, he smashed the battle aura armor he had condensed.

That kind of violent and unreasonable power is not something a human being could possess.

The force of the shockwave transmitted in that instant made Doug's hand go numb, and half of his body felt weak.

He's a monster!

"Father."

Raven swallowed the last piece of steak and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth.

"Are you full?"

Doug snapped out of his daze, nearly spilling the wine in his hand, and coughed to cover it up.

"Um."

"I want to leave Liuyun City."

Raven sat up straight, looking calmly at his father.

The air in the restaurant seemed to freeze for a moment.

Jenny, who was sitting on the other side, put down the soup spoon in her hand.

The silver spoon tapped against the edge of the porcelain plate, making a crisp sound.

She is already forty years old.

However, his lifespan was extended because he broke through to the seventh level of magic.

Therefore, time has not left many marks on her face, and she still retains her charm.

now.

The mother's brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with worry.

"Experience?"

Doug wasn't surprised; it seemed he had been waiting for this day.

"Yes."

Raven nodded.

"Your current strength..."

"Peak of the eighth level of Battle Qi, I know that."

"But your physical body..."

"Raven, tell me honestly, just how far have you progressed with your physical body?"

Doug pondered for a moment, then tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

His tone was unusually serious, as if he wanted to confirm his suspicions.

A friendly sparring session a month ago.

Doug sensed that his son was holding back.

"Peak of Level Seven".

Raven was silent for two seconds.

At times like this, there's no need to hide anything anymore.

Upon hearing this...

Even if you are mentally prepared.

Doug couldn't help but gasp, his fingers, which were tapping the table, froze in mid-air.

"How is that possible..."

"The limit for humans is level six, unless they are Saint-level powerhouses..."

Jenny couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

As a magician, she was even more aware of the limitations of the human body's structure.

"I don't understand either."

"Every time I train to my limit, it feels like there's fire burning inside my body, and when I wake up, I feel stronger."

Raven shook his head, a hint of confusion appearing on his face.

This is also his usual pretense in front of his parents.

after all.

The birthmark on the back of his hand is his biggest secret.

Even when facing his parents, Raven wouldn't easily tell them.

"Phew~"

Doug took a deep breath and downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.

In the past, he would never have felt comfortable letting his sixteen-year-old son travel alone.

But this kid...

A physical body at the peak of level seven, combined with battle qi at the peak of level eight.

Even if you encounter a level nine expert, you can definitely escape even if you can't beat them.

As long as you don't tempt fate and provoke the Holy Realm, you can travel freely throughout the world.

"it is good."

"The eagle will eventually soar through the sky."

"If I always keep you under my wings, you'll never become a true strong person."

Doug slammed his glass down.

The glass base made a dull thud on the marble tabletop.

"Doug!"

"He's still so young..."

Jenny was getting anxious.

"He's not a child anymore, Jenny."

"At his age, I was still a greenhorn who had just barely reached the fourth level."

"And he's already managed to make his father quite flustered."

Doug interrupted his wife, staring intently at Raven.

Jenny was speechless.

She looked at her tall and handsome son.

The little one who used to snuggle in her arms now has broad shoulders that seem capable of carrying a mountain.

Ultimately, it couldn't be stopped.

"Then you... must be careful."

Jenny's eyes were slightly red as she frantically rummaged through her spatial ring for things.

"This is a level 5 water shield scroll I made, and this is a level 6 healing scroll..."

"And this, this is an eighth-level earth-type defense scroll that your father had someone buy for him..."

In the blink of an eye.

The table was piled high with all sorts of magic scrolls, priceless treasures.

Raven felt a warmth in his heart.

This is the warmth that only home can bring.

"Mother, that's enough."

"I can't take any more with me."

Raven helplessly pressed down on his mother's hand.

"If you can't take it with you, just buy a large storage ring!"

"Do you have enough money?"

"Your father also has a magic crystal card with 100,000 gold coins inside..."

Jenny glared at Raven and said with some dissatisfaction.

Doug touched his nose and smiled wryly.

That was his life savings.

"Since you've decided to leave..."

"I have some things to take care of on the way."

After his wife calmed down a bit...

Doug then spoke again.

Raven looked at his father.

"Let's go to the Forbidden City."

Go see your sister.

"That girl wrote back last time, saying she was a little homesick."

A hint of tenderness flashed in Doug's eyes.

Liuyun City is not far from the Forbidden City.

But being separated by two cities, they ultimately can't see each other often.

Avril Lavigne.

Upon hearing this name...

Raven's expression softened considerably.

In the blink of an eye.

Avril has been studying at the Violet Magic Academy for several years now.

Although she would return to Liuyun City every year during her vacation.

But let's consider the time.

The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for three months.
