In the depths of Blackvvater River, at the edge of the forbidden realm, near the Snakes nest. pTodated ovls on o(v)l()bin(.)cm

A streak of bright light shot through like an arrow, immediately causing the serpents to boil over with excitement, hissing as they emerged.

Among them, a nine-foot-long snake was particularly conspicuous.

This snake, black all over with patterns covering its body, had a lump on its head that seemed to have a sharp horn in it.

A lump on its head with a concealed horn revealed the air of a Jiao Dragon!

Given time, it might well become a vile Jiao Dragon, poisonous and fierce.

Unfortunately, Xu Yang did not give it that time.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

The Green Fish, like a dragon, surged forward, inciting the hissing chorus of the serpents.

Among them were no lack of Spirit Monster and Alien beast level great snakes.

But

It was of no use!

Xu Yang simply flicked his tail, snacking left and sending the attacking swarm of snakes flying.

Hiss!!!

The Snake King, enraged, took matters into its own hands. Its nine-foot body dashed forward in a flash, jaws open aiming for the Green Fish. Xu Yang didnt dodge or avoid, allowing its venomous fangs to strike.

Crack! Crack!

The sounds of collision rang out, green light splashing in every direction; the Snake Kings razor-sharp fangs shattered upon the Green Jade Scales.

The Green Jade Scales were Xu Yangs innate gift in his Green Fish form. Enhanced by Form Supplementing Form and Blood of the Dragon Species, its strength was top-notch among Demon Monsters, far exceeding that of the Lobster Kings shell.

The Snake Kings fangs were sharp, but they were still far from penetrating this defense.

Now with its fangs broken, its sneak attack had failed, and Xu Yang retaliated with a whip of his fish tail across its face.

Hiss!

The Snake King screamed, tumbling away, but in the blink of an eye, it stabilized its body, raised its head, and opened its mouth wide

Pffft!!!

A surge of dark green, gloomy lighted poison mist billowed out, instantly enveloping Xu Yangs body.

It had held back a move!

But so had Xu Yang.

Within the terrifying poisonous green light, a strike of blue emerged.

The Fish-Dragon Form shot out like an arrow, crashing into the body of the Snake King, biting down on its vital seven inches.

Hiss!

Crack!

In pain, the Snake King struggled wildly, but Xu Yang, without any care, bit down repeatedly with his sharp teeth, severing the snakes body.

With the poison neutralized and the body severed, theres no need to elaborate on the Snake Kings fate; it soon became food in the belly of the Green Fish.

Hmm This Snake Kings body actually had Dragon Blood!

No sooner had Xu Yang swallowed the flesh and blood of the Snake King than he felt a warm current rise within him, stirring the long-slumbering Blood of the Fish -Dragon.

Clearly, this snake was also of the Dragon Species, and its consumption was greatly beneficial.

Unfortunately, Xu Yangs body was not what it had been once, and a Demon Monster level Dragon Species Snake King was not enough to make his Fish-Dragon Cultivation Skill undergo another transformation.

Therefore, Xu Yang did not hesitate to turn around and begin chasing down those Spirit Monster level and Alien beast level water snakes.

A mosquitos leg was still flesh; it was a waste not to eat it.

In a short while, the elite of the Scaly Snake clan followed their King on the road to oblivion in Xu Yangs belly.

The power of the Dragon Blood rose once more.

Alas, it still did not meet the requirements for the Fish-Dragon Second Transformation.

Yet Xu Yang still felt fatigue, as if some strange change was taking place within his body.

Thus, he halted his actions and sank his body into the snakes nest, nestled in place, closing his eyes to fall into a deep slumber.

He slept like this for three months.

After three months

Immediately, the green scales, like jade, fell away.

Was he shedding?

Not quite, this was

Xu Yang

Species: Green Fish (Dragon Species)

Cultivation: Skin and Flesh Realm

Lifespan: 4/99

Skills: Swimming, Eating, Breathing, Sleeping, Taoist Skills, Martial Arts

Cultivation Technique: Martial Arts Scripture.Fish-Dragon Transformation.

Innate Abilities: Green Jade Scales, Fish-Dragon Form, Immunity to All Poisons, Gloomy and Severe Poison, Dragon Snakes Molt.

Two new innate abilities had been addedGloomy and Severe Poison and Dragon Snakes Molt.

Theres no need to elaborate on Gloomy and Severe Poison; the Poison that Scaly Snake sprayed earlier was this substance itself, which even Demon Monsters could not withstand.

As for Dragon Snakes Molt as the name implies, its like the molting of a dragon or snake.

Dragon Snakes could speed up digestion, enhance absorption, heal injuries, and restore strength by molting.

Thus, with each molt, the physique of a dragon or snake would improve, and conditions like injury and weakness could be eliminated.

The only downside was that molting required a large amount of food and nutrients. If there wasnt enough food, it would consume the Qi Blood in the body, and if Qi Blood was also insufficient, the molt would fail, resulting in a great loss of Yuan Qi.

Xu Yang was not a dragon or a snake, but a dragon fish, and therefore he could not molt in the same way. However, shedding scales had the same effect. After shedding scales, his scales would become even harder and more solid, enhancing everything beneath them. While it wasnt as significant as the Fish-Dragon Transformation, it was still an all-around progress.

Very good, very powerful!

Xu Yang moved his body and immediately felt a surge of strength throughout, unable to help himself from letting out a satisfied, long howl.

Roar!!!

Although it was the cry of a Green Fish, the sound was like a dragons chant. The coral that made up the snakes nest shook with the impact, collapsing amidst the tremors.

The Blackwater churned, dust and sand stirring all around.

A streak of blue light, like lightning, pierced through the murky flow of the Blackwater, heading straight for the zone of electric storms.

The five supreme rulers, three had fallen.

What remained were the Giant Turtle and the Electric Eel.

For the Giant Turtle, there was no good solution for now.

But that Electric Eel Just like dealing with the Scaly Snake, all that was needed was to develop an anti-electric ability.

So, Xu Yang prepared to undergo electrotherapy, and incidentally, to taste what Electric Eel was like.

Crackle, pop!

A moment later, he emerged from the Electric Eels territory, charred all over but having gotten what he wanted.

These creatures were indeed fearsome; had it not been for his impressive defense from his Green Jade Scales, he would have likely perished there.

But he did not come away empty-handed, for a four- to five-foot Electric Eel was now held in his mouth.

The first step was the hardest, but after the first one, the second and third came easily

And so it went, another three months passed. Four years had gone by in the Blackwater River.

Crackle, pop!

An eight-foot long, golden-bodied Electric Eel King, along with a dozen Spirit Monster- and Alien Beast-grade subordinates, released a barrage of electricity. Their golden lightning splashed out, forming a terrifying electric net in the water.

Within the electric net, there was Green Jade like a dragon!

A Green Fish, swaying its body, forcefully broke through the golden electric net.

Despite the nets terrifying power, which crackled on its body, shattering layers of green light and leaving scars, the Green Fish did not retreat. Braving the electric shocks, it charged forward, ultimately reaching the heart of the Electric Eel formation.

By that time, most of its Green Jade Scales had been destroyed by the electric net, and beneath countless scars, flesh was visible; the fish looked extremely pitiable.

To charge against the net was an incredible risk.

If it were possible, Xu Yang would have preferred not to take such a gamble.

But if did not apply; this was a risk he had to take.

Because

Roar!

Within the Electric Eel formation, the golden-bodied Electric Eel King shimmered with electric light. On its head and belly were prominent lumps, on the verge of bursting.

It was about to break through!

The strength of this Electric Eel King was extraordinarily fearsome, and its intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary Demon Monsters. Xu Yangs previous Electric Eel hunting had thoroughly enraged it, leading it to chase him down with a large force several times.

Although Xu Yang was agile and had escaped its electric net several times, each was a narrow escape.

If it advanced further and transformed into an Electric Flood Dragon, then he would likely have no place left to stand in the Blackwater River.

Therefore, Xu Yang had no choice but to attack, taking the risk.

Seeing Xu Yang charging forward, bearing the onslaught of the electric net, the

Electric Eel King was both shocked and furious. Disregarding the loss of its Yuan Qi and the safety of its subordinates, it was about to push its electric power to the limit. But it was a step too late!

Gurgle!

Pfft!

Xu Yang opened his mouth and spat out a greenish-blue water arrow, a compressed, poison-tipped missile from his mouth, embodying the Gloomy and Severe Poison.

Pfft!

The poison arrow pierced through the Electric Eel King, turning its golden body green.

The poison took effect!

Though the Electric Eel King had terrifying electric power, it had almost no resistance to poison; once stricken by the Gloomy and Severe Poison, its spirit left for the netherworld, belly-up in defeat.

Splash, crackle!

Even as the Electric Eel King fell, the electric net was still active. Xu Yang swung his tail and pounced on the remaining Electric Eels.

Crackle

With his body charred black and in excruciating pain, feeling as if it no longer belonged to him, Xu Yang finally let out a sigh of relief.

At last, it was done!

This Electric Eel King had been truly terrifying.

Even though he had consumed Electric Eels in the meantime, using Form Supplementing Form to evolve an anti-electric talent, he was still left reeling beneath its electric net. Had it not been for his potent Gloomy and Severe Poison, the outcome of this encounter would have remained uncertain.

Indeed, one should never underestimate the heroes of this world, for hidden dragons and crouching tigers abound!

With a quiet sigh, he steeled himself and began to reap the fruits of victory.

The first was the Electric Eel King; even more terrifying than the Snake King, with a lump on both its head and belly. The golden, blood-tinged tumors were on the brink of bursting, and given more time, it would have likely sprouted horns and claws.

Then, it would no longer have been an Electric Eel King, but a Jiao Dragon, a lightning-controlling Electric Flood Dragon!

Who could withstand such a demon monster?

Fortunately, it had ultimately failed to cross that heavenly threshold and now lay as a meal on Xu Yangs plate.

Despite the invasion of the deadly poison, turning the normally golden Electric Eel green, his own poison was, of course, nothing to despise or fear. Xu Yang delightedly feasted upon it.

Devouring heartily, in no time, the soon-to-be Jiao Electric Eel King and a dozen Spirit Monster and Alien Beast-grade Electric Eels were swept into Xu Yangs mouth.

After the feast, the pains from his injuries seemed to fade, and the warm, cozy feeling returned.

Xu Yang comfortably narrowed his eyes and, without seeking another place, simply settled down on the spot. Plunging into a profound sleep, the Fish-Dragon Cultivation Skill automatically operated, initiating a second cycle of molt and evolution.

This transformation lasted a year.

A year later, in the depths of the Blackwater River.

On the riverbed, a giant shadow lay dormant.

Over eighteen feet in length, its body covered in scales, it was cloaked in a dull sheen as if it were a stone statue.

Suddenly

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A series of sharp noises, as the stone coat shattered, and suddenly, radiant green light burst forth, lighting up the dark water.

Within the green brilliance, one could see a fish, over eighteen feet in length, its Jade scales shimmering brightly.

Though its head was that of a Green Fish, it bore six golden, electrically-charged whiskers, with a streak of scarlet on its back resembling the radiance of the sun.

And beneath its fins, in the chest and belly area, stood two prominent lumps pulsing with green light and seeming ready to burst forth. With such a form and appearance, was it a dragon or a fish?

Indeed, it was a Fish-Dragon!
