Lynn Chu's experience entering the Blood Pool was just like Ethan Chu's: powerful energy surged into her body, her blood slowly began to boil, and finally, dragon scales appeared on her skin.
She felt the swelling pain in her dantian all too clearly, but her stubborn nature made her grit her teeth and endure. If Ethan Chu could do it, so could she.
Time passed slowly, and the energy within her was being absorbed more and more. It was as if she had forgotten about time, throwing herself into a frenzy of absorption.
Bang! Bang! Several crisp sounds rang out from inside her body, but Lynn Chu paid them no mind.
Half an hour had already passed. Lynn knew this perfectly well, but she didn’t rush to leave. Only when she pushed her endurance to the absolute limit would she fly out of the Blood Pool.
Outside, everyone was incredibly tense. Half an hour had gone by, but there was still no movement from the Blood Pool, making everyone anxious.
Evan Chu wanted to rush in and see what was happening, but then remembered that Lynn was his daughter and already a grown woman. Seeing her naked would be completely inappropriate, so he could only grit his teeth and hold back, hoping she would create a miracle.
Seeing the sweat on Evan Chu’s face, Selena Yale and Meng Ji walked up to him. “Lin Feng, are you worried about Lynn? Otherwise, why would you be sweating? Is Lynn in danger?”
“I can’t say for sure. Lynn has definitely stayed in the Blood Pool longer than usual, but I trust she knows what she’s doing—she’s not a reckless child. Let’s just wait a little longer,” Evan Chu said.
“Is Lynn really in danger right now? Don’t scare me—I need the truth!” Meng Ji blurted out, suddenly flustered.
“Of course there’s danger—the energy inside the Blood Pool is insanely strong. Absorbing it can awaken your bloodline power and let you break through your realm, but if Lynn loses control and just keeps absorbing like crazy, her body could go past its limit and she might explode. That’s the real risk,” Evan Chu said helplessly.
“No, I have to go in and check on her. I can’t let anything happen to Lynn!” Meng Ji said anxiously, her heart in chaos.
“Let’s wait a bit longer. We should trust Lynn. I’m worried too, but we have to give her a chance. Maybe her constitution is special and she can stay in there longer than most,” Evan Chu said.
Right then, Lynn Chu’s face was flushed red, her whole body glowing crimson. She knew she couldn’t absorb any more—the energy in her dantian was overflowing, and any more would risk her body exploding.
With a single thought, dragon scales instantly covered her body. As a thunderous dragon roar rang out, a massive golden dragon shot up from the Blood Pool. If you looked closely, you’d see it was a true seven‑clawed Golden Dragon.
Every claw was fully formed—the highest grade among all Golden Dragons. Lynn Chu had done it. She now fully qualified to inherit the Dragon Shrine Master’s seat.
That dragon roar was like music from the heavens, instantly erasing all of Evan Chu’s group’s worries. Meng Ji gripped Evan Chu’s hand, choking up: “Lin Feng, Lynn did it! I heard her dragon cry—our daughter has awakened her bloodline!”
“That’s right—Lynn’s breakthrough must be even stronger than Ethan’s. When she comes out, she’ll give us an even bigger surprise. Let’s just wait for her here!” Evan Chu said.
Right then, Lynn Chu felt her whole body brimming with power—a sign she’d broken through her realm. She felt like she could fight Sean Xiao head‑to‑head and easily defeat him. With a single thought, she returned to human form, pulled clothes from her storage ring, and got dressed.
Stepping out of the Blood Pool, she felt an indescribable sense of relief. Seeing everyone looking at her in shock, her heart was pounding with excitement.
Approaching Evan Chu and Meng Ji, Lynn Chu smiled, “Dad, I’ve awakened my bloodline power! I never thought the energy in the Blood Pool would be so terrifying. Now I’m a true seven‑clawed Golden Dragon. As for my cultivation realm, I honestly don’t know—I feel like I might ascend at any moment.”
Her words stunned everyone. Ethan Chu looked at Lynn and said, “Lynn, you’re exaggerating, right? I’m only at peak Seventh‑Layer Venerable. How could you be ready to ascend? You must be joking.”
“She’s not lying. Lynn really does have the qualification to ascend to the Immortal Realm. I never thought your bloodlines would be so pure, but I did expect it—your dad’s a nine‑clawed Golden Dragon, so of course you wouldn’t be weak,” Evan Chu said.
Still, Lynn, reaching ascension so quickly surprises me. Right now, you absolutely can’t use your Stellar Power carelessly—if you do, you could ascend to the Immortal Realm at any moment,” Evan Chu warned.
“Lin Feng, are you serious? Lynn could really ascend to the Immortal Realm now? So what’s her actual cultivation?” Meng Ji asked in shock.
“She should be at the absolute peak of Ninth‑Layer Venerable. She could ascend at any time—that’s the power of bloodline awakening. When I awakened my bloodline, I shot straight up to Earth Immortal. Her bloodline power is terrifying, but mine was even crazier,” Evan Chu laughed.
“You’re such a freak—who could compare to you? So Lynn shouldn’t use her Stellar Power for now. Once your dad leaves this world, you can ascend with him,” Meng Ji said.
It was a nice idea, but reality was harsh. The moon that had been shining overhead vanished in the blink of an eye, replaced by thick, rolling black clouds.
Even though it was night, everyone could see what was happening. Evan Chu’s heart clenched. “That was fast. The Ascension Tribulation’s already here—Lynn’s about to ascend, and she won’t be able to go with me.”
“Dad, those black clouds in the sky—are those tribulation clouds? I don’t want to ascend yet! What do I do?” Lynn Chu said, panic rising in her voice.
“If it’s here, you have to face it. Once you survive the Ascension Tribulation, you’ll ascend straight to the Immortal Realm. I’ve already arranged for people to look after you at the Ascension Pool, so don’t worry about that. The pool’s water will transform your internal Stellar Power into Immortal Spirit Force so you can absorb Immortal Essence like a real Immortal.
Immortal Essence is insanely powerful—you’ll understand soon enough. But no one can help you with this tribulation, Lynn. You have to be careful,” Evan Chu said, frustrated.
