Unsure of how much time had passed, finally... the azure current swirled fiercely and with a howl, it burrowed towards Xin Yun's body, piercing straight down from the top of his head; simultaneously... Xin Yun's skin began to undulate violently.
Upon closer inspection, all the blood vessels beneath Xin Yun's skin began to writhe, as if a snake were moving under the surface of his skin. Wherever it passed, streaks of azure markings, similar to birthmarks, started emerging.
As the first stroke of azure marking appeared, it was followed quickly by... a second stroke, a third stroke... Countless azure imprints kept condensing on the surface of Xin Yun's body. It was as if a master painter was splashing ink, and a majestic, clawed azure dragon snaked its way onto the surface of Xin Yun's body.
Talking takes time, but acting is swift... From the appearance of the first azure imprint to the last, it all happened in less than a minute. The moment the final touch of clear azure appeared on Xin Yun's body, Xin Yun suddenly opened his eyes. Two sharp, terrifying beams of light shot out from his eyes like lightning.
At this point, the transformation into the Yinglong Totem was smoothly completed. From this moment on, Xin Yun was constantly in the state of a two-star diamond. Although in human form, the energy he could mobilize was only a tenth of that in dragon form, unless on specific occasions, Xin Yun's combat power would not decrease but increase.
Of course, the human form could never replace the dragon form. Only in the dragon form could one exert a hundred percent of their strength. Bound by the human body, one can never fully release their power in human form. Simply put, the main differences are in the range of attacks, as well as the duration of attacks. In dragon form, the range of attacks is tenfold larger, and the duration is ten times longer, which sometimes is the key to victory.
Perhaps some might ask, if being transformed into a totem is so beneficial, why do most, including the masters of Ten Stars diamond level, still ride dragons into battle? Actually, there is a misconception here. Simply put, the method of Giant Dragon Totemization hasn't been made public yet. It can be said that in this era, Xin Yun is the only one capable of Giant Dragon Totemization!
Slowly standing up, Xin Yun carefully observed his Yinglong Totem in the large mirror he had prepared earlier. The azure dragon's body was majestically entangled around his legs, chest, and arms, nearly identical to the dragon totem of his past life. Yet, after all, this was not his previous life. Although the differences were minimal, they definitely existed. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The first difference was the claws. In his previous life, the Divine Dragon had four claws, while this life's dragon had five. The next difference was the color; his previous totem belonged to the Fire Series, and this life's was of the Water Series. Lastly, the wings. Although his previous incarnation was a Divine Dragon, it was a common one without wings, whereas this life's dragon, Yinglong, was king among the Divine Dragons with wings.
Pleased with the totem on his body, it can be bluntly stated that this totem resembled Earth's tattoos quite a lot, or could even be said to be entirely the same, including the meanings they conveyed. Through this totem, Xin Yun could directly draw energy from the Dragon Ball for his own use.
Turning around to observe the totem from all angles, Xin Yun then turned his body to the side. With a thought, a flash of azure light appeared behind him, and in the next moment... a pair of azure fleshy wings unfolded from his back with a whoosh!
These wings resembled those of a bat and were also similar to those of a Great Demon; both were membranous and featherless. However, these had the fine, scale-like coverings unique to dragonkind.
In his previous life, these wings did not exist. Among the Shen Long Clan, only Yinglong had wings; no other dragon possessed them.
Divine Dragons fundamentally did not rely on wings for flight; they could still soar between heaven and earth, peerless, without them. Indeed, it was a fact that Divine Dragons did not need wings to fly. However, it must be mentioned that even though Divine Dragons don't rely on wings for flight, having wings definitely made them fly faster!
Originally, the flight of dragons had much in common with that of fish: it was primarily about agility and unpredictability, the very essence of the saying 'the Divine Dragon is seen but the tail is not.' However, when it came to linear flight, that was not their forte. Speaking of absolute speed alone, it was undeniably a weakness.
Earth People all know that Dapeng flies the fastest, as the expression goes 'Dapeng spreads its wings, covering a thousand miles with a single flap'. Yet... Dapeng is not the fastest; Kunpeng holds that title! Comparatively, dragons are not remarkable in terms of straight-line speed and are certainly not the fastest.
But Yinglong is an exception. Not only does he possess unmatched agility, but with the addition of wings, his absolute speed also soared to a terrifying height based on the Divine Dragon's velocity.
One could say that among all flying creatures, Yinglong occupies a very unique position. Among all beings renowned for agility, Yinglong is the fastest, and among all renowned for speed, Yinglong is the most agile. Although it may not be the strongest in any single category, its overall balance makes it the most comprehensive.
In myths and legends, Yinglong is one of the few Divine Dragons that lived into modern times, possessing high mana, adept at 'Spreading Rain'. However, other particularly powerful dragons had already perished.
Taking the current Xin Yun as an example, even without wings, he could fly and be exceedingly agile. Yet, speaking of absolute speed, it was not enough. Now, with the support of wings, Xin Yun possessed both agility and absolute speed. Such comprehensive qualities were unrivaled in the whole world! (To be continued.
