249: Chapter 250 The Spirit Dragon Descends

An extremely warm and rich life force radiated from within, dyeing everything around it in a layer of warmth.

The next second, a golden pillar of light shot up from the Dragon egg, tearing the clouds above into two, then spreading out into a golden canopy that spanned the sky.

"Making such a big commotion?"

Lin Ye hadn't expected that just breaking a shell would cause such a heaven-shaking phenomenon; he feared that people within a hundred miles could see it.

Meanwhile, on a mountain road a hundred miles away, a young man riding a black donkey was humming an unknown tune, traveling at a leisurely pace.

He looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a set of cyan cloth clothes, with a dusty gourd hanging from his waist, sitting on the donkey's back in an extremely casual posture.

One hand was pillowed behind his head, while the other held a small booklet, which he was reading with great interest.

Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, he abruptly raised his head and looked at the streak of golden light in the distant sky.

"Huh? Such a phenomenon; I fear some extraordinary treasure has been born. This treasure is destined to be with me."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and as a clear breeze blew past, his entire person vanished from the donkey's back.

The black donkey seemed accustomed to this, snorted, flicked its tail, and continued walking slowly along the mountain road.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the crevice in Heifeng Mountain, that golden light finally began to slowly converge.

After that layer of golden halo completely dissipated, Lin Ye finally saw the appearance of the fellow before him.

Its body was about three feet long, covered all over in a layer of fine, dense golden scales, each only the size of a fingernail, with a surface emitting a warm, metallic luster.

Its head was slightly larger than an adult's fist, the skull slightly raised, its outline exactly the same as the Dragon head depicted in myths and legends.

However, at this moment, it had not yet shed the roundness peculiar to a hatchling; it didn't look majestic, but rather had a strange cuteness to it.

"Awoo~"

Suddenly, the young Dragon raised its head to the sky and let out a small cry.

The sound carried a strange penetrating power, as if it were declaring its birth to the heavens and earth!

Lin Ye tentatively reached out his hand; the young Dragon seemed to have a natural affinity for him, actively bringing its head close and gently rubbing its forehead against Lin Ye's palm.

However, before Lin Ye could make any further movements, the young Dragon shifted its attention to the scattered eggshell fragments nearby.

It opened its mouth and took a bite.

The originally indestructible eggshell now seemed to have lost its original strength and was bitten directly into pieces by the young Dragon.

After chewing a few times, it swallowed it.

The next second, Lin Ye could clearly feel the young Dragon's Qi increase slightly.

Then, as if it had discovered a new world, both its big eyes were shining.

Crunch, crunch!

It lowered its head and began to greedily devour the broken eggshells on the ground.

As one piece of eggshell after another entered its belly, the Qi on the young Dragon began to climb at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its golden scales became brighter and brighter, and the originally somewhat dim patterns began to flicker, as if injected with a burst of vitality.

When the last piece of eggshell was swallowed, the young Dragon's body gave a violent jolt, and its Qi instantly surged significantly.

"Awoo~"

Seeming to be full, it raised its head and let out a cry that was longer than before, faintly possessing a trace of the majesty belonging to the Dragon Clan.

"They say eggshells are highly nourishing; this time I've truly witnessed it."

Lin Ye, who had been silently watching the young Dragon eat, couldn't help but sigh at this sight.

When it first hatched, this little guy's Qi was only equivalent to that of a Ninth-Grade Martial Artist.

Although it was already far superior to ordinary living beings, when combined with its Dragon Clan Bloodline, it didn't count as too exaggerated.

However, after devouring the eggshells, its Qi actually broke through all the way to the Seventh-Grade level, which really shocked him a bit.

You must know that most human Martial Artists can't even touch the threshold of the Seventh-Grade in their entire lives.

Yet this young Dragon before him, from birth until now, had taken at most the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

This Bloodline quality was truly a bit terrifying.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye's mind stirred, and he activated the Qi Observation Technique on it.

[Ninth-Grade Spirit Beast] (Gold)

Essence: 200

Qi: 300

Spirit: 100

Comprehensive Rating: 2000

"Hmm, a Spirit Beast?"

Lin Ye was a bit surprised; this seemed to be a brand new species.

But thinking about it carefully, it was quite reasonable.

Strange Beasts are merely species born from being tainted by a trace of the aura of divine flesh, whereas this fellow was derived from divine flesh itself; naturally, the two are not in the same class.

Lin Ye even suspected that when this fellow completely grew up, it might transform into a true Divine Beast.

The young Dragon, currently digesting its food, seemed to sense Lin Ye's investigation; it abruptly turned its head and looked at him with those big golden eyes.

Then it stepped out on its four short little claws and crawled quickly toward him.

Running while calling out, it had no trace of Dragon Clan majesty; it was exactly like a puppy anxious to find its owner.

Lin Ye smiled, bent down, and scooped it into his arms.

"Good heavens, so heavy!"

This little thing looked petite, but its weight was not light at all; it had to be at least three hundred catties, which showed how terrifying its body density was.

"Right, I need to give you a name. Since your previous incarnation was called Black Mountain Dragon Lord, I'll call you Xiao Hei from now on, how about that?"

"Awoo~"

The young Dragon opened its mouth and cried twice, while constantly pawing at Lin Ye, seeming to express its protest.

"What? Not satisfied?"

Through the Soul imprint, Lin Ye could roughly perceive the meaning the young Dragon wanted to express.

Looking at the young Dragon glowing with golden light all over, calling it Xiao Hei was indeed a bit inappropriate, but calling it Xiao Jin directly was too straightforward.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ye's eyes lit up:

"Got it, Xiao Jun. Your full name will be Lin Jun. How is that name?"

"Awoo~"

This time, Lin Ye could clearly feel the joy transmitted by the young Dragon; it was obviously very satisfied with this name.

"Good, then you will be called Xiao Jun from now on. Let's go, Xiao Jun, we're going home!"

Lightning Flash Movement activated, and Lin Ye quickly returned to the surface.

Lin Ye's figure moved rapidly through the mountain forest.

Xiao Jun curled up quietly in his arms; at first, it was very scared, its two small claws tightly gripping his lapels, while it curiously looked at everything around it with its big eyes.

However, gradually, it seemed to grow fond of this feeling of moving at lightning speed.

It cautiously poked its head out from Lin Ye's arms, its two long Dragon whiskers whipping up and down.

"Awoo~"

Feeling the gale blowing in its face, Xiao Jun let out a few joyful roars, the meaning of which seemed to be urging Lin Ye to run faster.

Having just been born, its intelligence was about that of a three-year-old child, and it felt everything was very novel.

Lin Ye smiled, pushed Lightning Flash Movement to seventy percent, white electric arcs constantly exploding beneath his feet, his figure turning into a flowing bolt of lightning, dragging out trails of afterimages through the mountain forest.

With his current Blood Qi Power, even if he maintained this speed for a day and a night, he wouldn't feel exhausted.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, as if Lin Ye had sensed something, his brows furrowed slightly, and the movements under his feet unconsciously slowed down.
