With an ethereal air about him, if it weren't for the slight red at the corners of his eyes, one might almost mistake him for a celestial being reborn.
He was dressed in a green bamboo gauze robe with white undergarments, looking every bit the young master.
Xie Zhou was almost stunned, while Qinglong chuckled, placed a fan under her chin, lifted her face, and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "You are also very beautiful, young lady."
"I like it very much, but I can't leave. So since there is a beauty here, accept my power and go see the beautiful world outside in my place..."
Xie Zhou was stunned, and she agreed almost unconsciously.
"good……"
With a wave of his fan, Qinglong vanished, leaving only a sound in the distance.
"To obtain my inherited power is no easy task. You will need to pass three trials. Let's begin the first trial, which tests your mental strength..."
Xie Zhou began to undergo the three trials set by the Azure Dragon.
When Xie Zhou looked up during the first test of his mental strength, a magical artifact suddenly appeared in front of him. It had a pillar with numerical values written on it, and a handprint-shaped indentation on it. Did he need to put his hand on it?
The system then reminded you, "Host, you're right. That's a device that can test mental strength. Just place your palm on it to take the test!"
"good……"
Xie Zhou walked over and placed his palm on it. Soon, the pointer on the instrument that tested mental strength began to rise continuously, but even after reaching the peak, the instrument kept beeping.
"Bang!"
The instrument testing mental strength exploded, directly proving Xie Zhou's powerful mental strength—so powerful that the instrument couldn't withstand it and exploded on the spot.
Xie Zhou was also stunned, looking somewhat embarrassed as he stared at the exploding equipment. Qinglong was also shocked by the situation, wondering who in thousands of years had such overwhelming mental power.
The Azure Dragon jokingly said, "As expected, young lady, you are no ordinary person. Your strength is extraordinary. Congratulations on passing the first test. The second test is coming up. Be careful, young lady. You will need to fight against an adult Azure Dragon. Let's see who wins. As long as you defeat the phantom of the adult Azure Dragon, you will succeed!"
"This battle is virtual and won't cause any damage. However, as long as you are hit by the opponent's attack, and you hit ten different points on the opponent's map, then that person will succeed!"
Xie Zhou chuckled and said with a smile, "Okay, let's begin..."
Azure Dragon separated a portion of its divine consciousness, which condensed in front of Xie Zhou.
She was still tall and elegant, but now she looked like a young man with fair and delicate features. When Xie Zhou saw that the Azure Dragon she was fighting was also in human form, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. However, she would not let beauty distract her from this battle. She had to win and pass the second test.
Xie Zhou's initially calm expression changed; she became serious, holding her peerless sword, and approached the Azure Dragon step by step.
Qinglong, holding his own spear, and the two charged toward each other.
"clang!……"
With a clang, Xie Zhou's peerless sword clashed with Qinglong's spear. The two were locked in a standoff, Xie Zhou sensing the other's immense strength. She silently increased the force in her hand, but she was still no match for him. She was forced back step by step by Qinglong. Xie Zhou had no choice but to sheathe her sword, turn around, and in a few strides flew past, circling behind Qinglong.
Just as she was about to strike the Azure Dragon with her sword, it suddenly transformed into a dragon with a tail and hovered in the air.
"Roar!..." With a dragon's roar, a powerful gust of wind swept towards Xie Zhou. Xie Zhou quickly used his wide sleeves to block it. Seeing the dragon's head with its bared fangs, Xie Zhou used the wind to fly onto its horns.
“Eh… eh…”
As soon as Xie Zhou stepped onto the dragon, she sensed its agitation. She lost her balance and quickly grabbed its horn. The dragon then carried her around, but the shaking continued. Xie Zhou was in the dragon's blind spot, so it couldn't hit her. Xie Zhou was quite pleased with this. She held on tightly to the dragon's horn, and seeing its strength slowly waning, Xie Zhou arranged the Peerless Swords into a sword formation. Soon, at Xie Zhou's command, all the swords thrust towards the dragon. Xie Zhou had already flown to the ground, watching streaks of light flash behind her.
"Roar..."
The second test was passed perfectly, and Qinglong, who was observing from the shadows, nodded with great satisfaction.
"Now that you're all settled, young lady, the third test will begin!"
When she reached the third test, the Azure Dragon appeared before her again in the same manner.
The two sat cross-legged facing each other.
"If you can pass this final test, young lady, you can take my inherited power. This is also to help you adapt to the power of the Azure Dragon!"
Xie Zhou and Qinglong appeared together in a space created by Qinglong.
Qinglong was teaching Xie Zhou how to draw formations and cultivate a small portion of the power that Qinglong had given her.
But gradually Xie Zhou noticed something was wrong, because the formation was strangely unpredictable. Looking at Qinglong's ambiguous smile, she asked him, but the only answer she got was that it was an ancient cultivation formation.
Xie Zhou paid more attention and then asked the system via telepathy what kind of formation it was.
The system learned that they had been searching for information about this formation in ancient books.
Before long, Xie Zhou had managed to buy time with the Azure Dragon. The system said excitedly, "The Azure Dragon actually wants to possess the host! This is a very evil formation, host, be careful!"
But it was too late. Qinglong noticed that Xie Zhou was acting strangely. He revealed his true colors, with his eyes wide open and bloodshot, and his voice becoming louder and softer.
It used its power to suppress Xie Zhou, and Xie Zhou couldn't control his hands, thus completing the formation.
"Hahaha... Ignorant humans, become the vessel for my rebirth!"
Azure Dragon used its spiritual power to transform into a dragon shadow and invaded Xie Zhou's body.
"Hmm..."
A surge of divine consciousness and power that did not belong to him rushed through his body, leaving Xie Zhou's mind in chaos. Xie Zhou clutched his aching head, only to hear the voice of the azure dragon constantly echoing in his ears, sometimes loud and sometimes soft, causing Xie Zhou great pain.
"Give me your body..."
"Give it to me...give it to me..."
"I will dominate this region and destroy those self-righteous gentlemen!..."
"Give me!……"
Xie Zhou was in a state of utter confusion, but the Azure Dragon had not extinguished his reason. Bending over, Xie Zhou uttered haltingly, "Chaotic Divine Lightning..."
