Chapter 105: Di Tian Arrives, Lin Yu is Stunned to Discover He’s a Golden Dragon!
The next morning, Lin Yu left the city and, using the Thunderstorm Wings, resumed his hunt for wolf bandits, continuing his mission to rid the world of these threats.
Unlike before, when he merely practiced his skills—like the Dragon Claw, Melting Golden Fingers, Fierce Leg Technique, and Plum Blossom Sprint—against the bandits, now he would use the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Transformation if he encountered a group of them in the mountains. He would quickly decimate them using various methods in his Chaos Ancestral Dragon form.
Over the past few days, Lin Yu had become increasingly adept at mastering the Chaos Ancestral Dragon state through practical application.
What Lin Yu didn't know was that with each use of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Transformation, Di Tian was getting closer to him.
…
One day, in the vast mountains on the western border of the Tiandou Empire, Lin Yu, having received information about a wolf bandit group in the area, used his Thunderstorm Wings to search the mountains.
At last, he located the bandit group!
"Chaos Ancestral Dragon Transformation!"
Seeing the bandits, Lin Yu shouted internally and activated the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Transformation.
Immediately, the Chaos Lotus and Golden Sacred Dragon martial souls appeared behind him. As the two souls merged, a dazzling blue-gold pillar of light shot up into the sky.
Inside the light, it seemed like something was forming. Soon, a long, black dragon covered in intricate dark gold patterns with two wings and a fearsome, regal appearance, topped with a lotus-shaped crown, emerged into the sky.
Upon the appearance of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon, it roared mightily, releasing a terrifying pressure that swept out in all directions.
Lin Yu, controlling the Chaos Ancestral Dragon, directed it to unleash a blazing dark red fire pillar at the bandits below.
"Boom!"
With a tremendous explosion, the dark red fire pillar struck the bandit group, engulfing them in a sea of hellfire and turning them to ash.
However, after this powerful attack, Lin Yu's soul power was nearly depleted, causing him to immediately exit the fusion state.
At that moment, Di Tian arrived nearby, guided by the dragon scales given by the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na. He found Lin Yu.
Finding Lin Yu, Di Tian felt a surge of excitement and quickly transformed into a black streak of light, speeding toward Lin Yu.
Just as Lin Yu finished dealing with the bandits and exited the Chaos Ancestral Dragon state, a black streak of light like a shooting star descended from the sky and landed before him, revealing Di Tian's form.
It was… Di Tian?!
Seeing the imposing figure of a man in black dragon-scale armor, with long black hair, dragon wings, and curved black dragon horns, Lin Yu's eyes widened in shock, and he was momentarily stunned.
How could this be? Wasn't Di Tian supposed to be in the Star Dou Forest? Why was he here? Was he looking for Lin Yu? But that didn't make sense!
Di Tian, unaware of Lin Yu's confusion and disbelief, was puzzled by Lin Yu's human form and weak aura, not resembling a fierce beast at all.
However, Di Tian paid little attention to this anomaly. After all, the Golden Dragon race had been extinct for many years. How this fellow had obtained the Golden Dragon bloodline was unknown.
What mattered was that Lin Yu's presence emitted the aura of a Golden Dragon, proving he was the dragon Gu Yue Na sought.
"This Golden Dragon kin, I am Di Tian, sent by the Silver Dragon King to meet you and escort you. Perhaps you do not know our master's identity. She is…"
Di Tian, fluttering his broad black dragon wings, politely bowed to Lin Yu and explained the purpose of his visit, introducing the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na.
Lin Yu was even more stunned by Di Tian's words.
When did he become a Golden Dragon? He had always thought he was a Golden Sacred Dragon.
Due to Xiao Wu's misunderstanding, Lin Yu had already realized that his body, under the influence of the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul and Dragon Essence, bore the soul beast's bloodline.
Yet, he had always assumed it was the Golden Sacred Dragon's bloodline. He never expected it could be the Golden Dragon's bloodline!
However, it wasn't entirely impossible. In the Douluo series, the relationship between the Golden Dragon and the Golden Sacred Dragon was always ambiguous. Lin Yu speculated that the Golden Sacred Dragon might be a hybrid of the Golden Dragon and the Light Sacred Dragon.
Perhaps he originally possessed the Golden Sacred Dragon's bloodline, but it evolved into the higher-level Golden Dragon's bloodline due to the Dragon Essence!
He was uncertain whether the Light Sacred Dragon's power had evolved with it or been excluded.
Nevertheless, Lin Yu knew he had to maintain his cover and not reveal his true identity. Since both the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na and Di Tian believed he was a Golden Dragon, he should be safe.
"I'm a Golden Dragon? I wasn't aware of that. I always thought I was just an ordinary ten-thousand-year dragon soul beast transformed. But if the master wishes to see me, then let's go."
Lin Yu, feigning surprise, played along with his supposed identity, claiming ignorance about being a Golden Dragon. He maintained the story of being a dragon soul beast from overseas.
Di Tian frowned upon hearing Lin Yu's response. As a staunch supporter of soul beasts, he was uncomfortable with the notion of ten-thousand-year soul beasts taking human form, especially dragons.
However, considering Lin Yu's claim of being unaware of his identity and possibly being a dragon orphan, Di Tian chose to hold his reservations.
