Dragon power awakens by the Dragon Blood Pool; Zi Yan, charming and innocent, asks for sweet candy.

Deep in the Star Dou Secret Realm, a hidden valley concealed a pool of scarlet Dragon Blood. The surface of the pool steamed with blood qi, and a dense Dragon Might permeated the surroundings, so much so that even high-level Spirit Beasts dared not approach. Attracted by this familiar aura, Zi Yan secretly slipped away from the group, stumbling into the valley. Staring at the Dragon Blood Pool, her eyes were filled with curiosity: "What is this? It smells so good..."

She stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch the blood qi on the pool's surface. The moment her fingertip made contact, a surge of majestic Dragon Power poured into her body, instantly igniting the Dragon clan bloodline within her. "Ah!" Zi Yan exclaimed. Her body was uncontrollably enveloped by the Dragon Power, and her small frame hovered in the air. The dragon horns on her head rapidly grew larger, scales spread from her neck to her limbs, a small dragon tail grew behind her, and her eyes turned into golden vertical pupils. Her aura suddenly skyrocketed.

"Oh no! It's Zi Yan's aura!" Su Chen, who was searching for treasures, instantly sensed the disturbance and immediately brought the Heroines to rush over. When they arrived at the valley, they saw Zi Yan enveloped by Dragon Power, her body trembling violently. Her Dragon clan bloodline was awakening, but she couldn't control it, and she could go berserk at any moment.

"It's a Dragon Blood Pool!" A flash of surprise crossed Xiao Xun Er's eyes. "This is Dragon Blood left behind by the ancient Dragon clan. It can stimulate the potential of the Dragon clan bloodline, but Zi Yan's bloodline hasn't fully awakened yet. If she absorbs it forcibly, she will be blown apart by the Dragon Power!"

Su Chen's figure flashed, and he instantly rushed to the edge of the Dragon Blood Pool. His black-gold God-Defying Power expanded into a barrier, shielding Zi Yan within it: "Zi Yan, don't be afraid, Big Brother is here!" He reached out and grasped her scorching little hand. His God-Defying Power, like a gentle stream, slowly flowed into her body, guiding the berserk Dragon Power to circulate in an orderly manner.

Feeling the familiar warmth, a trace of clarity flashed in Zi Yan's golden vertical pupils, but she was still tormented by the Dragon Power to the point where her eyes turned red. With a tearful, spoiled tone, she pleaded: "Su Chen Big Brother... it hurts... I want to eat candy... eating candy will make it stop hurting..."

"Be good, I'll give you candy once the awakening is complete." Su Chen lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his tone doting to the extreme. "Follow my power, integrate the Dragon Power into your bloodline. In the future, you will be able to turn into a long dragon, stronger than all Spirit Beasts, and you'll have candy to eat every day."

"Really?" Zi Yan's eyes lit up. The pain seemed to diminish a little, and she obediently followed the guidance of Su Chen's power. The Dragon Power within her body gradually stabilized, the form of her scales and dragon tail became increasingly clear, and her aura grew more and more majestic.

The Heroines stood by to guard her. Ning Rongrong activated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and a pink amplification beam landed precisely on Zi Yan: "Zi Yan, come on! After the boost, you can control the Dragon Power faster!"

Xiao Wu jumped up and down, shouting: "Zi Yan, after you finish awakening, I'll take you to pick the sweetest wild fruits. They're even sweeter than candy!"

Medusa's snake-like vines wrapped around the Dragon Blood Pool, forming a protective barrier: "This Dragon Power is very domineering. I will help you isolate external interference."

Yun Yun's Wind Blade swept across the air, dispersing any Spirit Beasts that might approach: "Awaken with peace of mind; we are here."

Under Su Chen's guidance and the assistance of everyone, the Dragon Power within Zi Yan completely stabilized, and her Dragon clan bloodline fully awakened. Her body grew slightly, her dragon horns became thick and upright, her arms covered in golden scales were filled with power, and the dragon tail behind her swayed gently. Her golden vertical pupils carried the majesty of the Dragon clan, yet they still retained a touch of childlike naivety.

"I... I've become stronger!" Zi Yan moved her body, the Dragon Power circulating within her. She couldn't help but let out a clear dragon roar, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle. She threw herself into Su Chen's arms, her dragon tail wrapping around his waist, and she acted spoiled: "Su Chen Big Brother, I've finished awakening, give me my candy quickly!"

Su Chen smiled and caught her, pulling a handful of crystal-clear candies from his spirit tool storage device and handing them to her lips: "Here, have some candy, my little divine dragon."

Zi Yan immediately opened her mouth and bit the candy. The sweet taste melted on the tip of her tongue, and she instantly beamed with joy, her dragon tail wrapping tighter: "Delicious! Su Chen Big Brother, I want more!"

"I'll buy you some every day from now on." Su Chen pinched her scaly cheek, feeling the majestic Dragon Power within her, his heart full of gratification. "Now you are a true Dragon-type powerhouse; no one will be able to bully you in the future."

"I also want to protect Su Chen Big Brother and the Sisters!" Zi Yan nodded vigorously, her dragon claws gently patting Su Chen's chest, her tone firm. "If anyone dares to bully you guys, I'll spray them with a mouthful of dragon breath!"

Karin immediately came over, hugging Su Chen's arm, her tone tinged with jealousy: "Lord Su Chen, Zi Yan gets exclusive candy, I want some too! I want Lord Su Chen to feed me too!"

"Me too, me too!" Ning Rongrong stood on tiptoe, leaning close to Su Chen. "Su Chen Big Brother, I want to eat candy too, and you have to praise me for supporting well!"

Xiao Wu, Xiao Xun Er, and the others also crowded around, competing to have Su Chen feed them candy and praise them. The scene was lively and sweet. Zi Yan sat on Su Chen's shoulder, her dragon tail sweeping across the crowd, and she said triumphantly: "Su Chen Big Brother is mine! The candy is mine too!"

"Don't be stingy!" Karin reached out and poked her dragon horn. "Lord Su Chen belongs to everyone, and the candy should be shared with everyone!"

Zi Yan immediately pouted, but she still took a few candies from Su Chen's hand and shared them with the Heroines around her, her dragon tail still tightly wrapped around Su Chen's neck, afraid that someone else would snatch him away.

Su Chen looked at the chattering, competing Heroines around him, especially the naive Zi Yan on his shoulder, his heart full of warmth and satisfaction. The awakening of Zi Yan's Dragon Power had raised the team's strength to another level. The power of the Dragon clan was almost invincible in the Star Dou Secret Realm, and the subsequent plundering of resources would be even smoother.

In the dark corners of the valley, Xiao Ling hid behind a tree, watching Zi Yan's dragon form after her awakening. A flash of greed and jealousy crossed his eyes—he hadn't expected Zi Yan to have a Dragon clan bloodline. If he could subdue her, or seize her dragon blood, his own strength would definitely improve significantly. But he also sensed the majestic Dragon Power within Zi Yan and knew he was no match for her. He could only grit his teeth and turn to leave, the conspiracy in his heart becoming even more insidious.

Su Chen sensed Xiao Ling's aura, his eyes turning a bit colder, but he did not chase after him. He knew that Xiao Ling was already a turtle in a jar. Once they finished plundering the resources of the Star Dou Secret Realm, it would be the time to thoroughly deal with him.

"Let's go, keep looking for treasures!" Su Chen hugged the Heroines around him. Zi Yan sat on his shoulder, her dragon tail swaying, a candy in her mouth, and she shouted happily: "Find treasures! Find more candy!"

The group headed deeper into the Secret Realm. The auras of Dragon Might, Exotic Fire, Wind Blade, Shadow, and Poison Mist intertwined, forming an unstoppable momentum. The plundering of the Star Dou Secret Realm's resources, because of the awakening of Zi Yan's Dragon Power, became even more unstoppable!
