Chapter 348: Transforming into A Human

“Have you figured out what conditions you want?” The black dragon’s words interrupted Xiao Lin and Lilith’s contemplation.

“Do we have to fight with you?” Given the choice, Xiao Lin would certainly not choose an option with death as its obvious consequence.

“This is my world. I have the final say. Here you must obey my words, otherwise you’ll suffer!” The black dragon was as arrogant as ever and added, “That’s actually the best choice, since you won’t be able to get out anyway.”

Lilith asked too, “What are the conditions for leaving? I remember you saying that Silverlight sent us over to look for a shard. What shard is that?”

Xiao Lin had a sudden thought, but he was not entirely sure about it.

On that occasion, the black dragon was silent for several minutes, but it finally said in a frigid tone, “If you can defeat me, you might have the chance to find out. That’s why I’m here. Guarding the shard is the responsibility and mission that I’ve been given.”

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly as he looked at Lilith, who seemed eager to give things a try. He lowered his voice and discussed with her, “Do you really have a chance of winning?”

“How could I possibly?” Lilith looked at him as though he were an idiot. “The opponent comes from a race of black dragons. If you count its age, its strength would have at least been equivalent to Legend-rank. How are we supposed to win against it!”

It turned out to be the answer Xiao Lin expected and he sighed. “Then why are you so happy?”

Lilith’s expression was self-evident from the beginning and she continued, “Don’t you think it’s amazing that we’re able to fight against a Legend-rank opponent?”

“Is dying just as amazing?”

“What’s so scary about death? ”

Lilith turned her head slightly, as if she did not want to let Xiao Lin see her gaze at that moment, but the change in her tone was still very obvious. That momentary flash of indifference was similar to Gu Xiaoyue’s tone when he spoke to her, but Lilith had always been a very straightforward girl, so it was difficult to imagine that she could have such an emotion.

Was it an indifference to life?

Xiao Lin felt that Lilith was not that kind of person, but rather, she simply had no fear of death. However, such people became indifferent either because of exorbitant ideals or goals, or because they had experienced the brink of death far too many times.

‘What did you experience in the past, Lilith?’

Xiao Lin sighed silently in his heart and wisely diverted from that rather sensitive topic.

“If this is the case, leave this battle to me.”

Lilith was shocked, but Xiao Lin had already stepped forward. He raised his head, looked at the black dragon circling in the bloody sky, and said, “You just said that we can choose the fighting conditions. My understanding is that we can choose whatever condition we want, even if it’s beneficial to us.”

The black dragon’s huge eyes narrowed. “You’re right, humans. Let your imagination run wild and think. This special treatment is just for you, even if the end result might not differ much.”

“Oh, then what if I ask you to reduce your strength to Black Iron-rank?” Xiaolin blinked slyly and spread his hand out innocently, saying, “You see, you’re Legend-rank, so wouldn’t it be pointless to bully us like that? You’ve lived here for so long now. Don’t you want to keep yourself busy for longer? After all, no one knows when the next person will come in.”

The black dragon fell to the ground again and hummed in a strong nasal voice. “I knew you’d make this request, and I planned to do this too. If I fight with you with my current strength, I won’t even need a second to squeeze you to death, but then my fun will be much less.”

Xiao Lin exhaled. If that was the case, they could at least five it a try. Lilith calmly questioned, “Although I don’t understand Legend-rank strength, I’m still aware that it’s impossible for a dragon physique to control its strength and suppress it to Black Iron-rank. It’s like a giant trying to draw a circle. The destructive power will still be far superior than an ordinary person.”

“You underestimate the dragon clan!”

The black dragon’s voice gradually became fuzzy and the surface of its body began to emit circles of light-colored halos. Its huge body shrank constantly in that illusory glow and the scales on its body were disappearing very quickly too.

After ten seconds, the halo gradually dissipated, and what appeared in front of Xiao Lin and Lilith was a person—a naked and extremely voluptuous woman!

Xiao Lin was in a complete daze and he rubbed his eyes vigorously. He could not believe what he was looking at and felt that it was impolite to be glaring straight at him. The other party however, seemed to be completely indifferent to their own nakedness and waved her hand. A sparkling stream of ink-black armor of light was equipped on her body, and a long silver sword suddenly appeared in its hands.

“High-ranking dragons have the ability to transform.” Lilith glanced disdainfully at the practically-entranced Xiao Lin, who—in his naivete—was expressing a look of excitement.

“Never expected it to be a female dragon. I really couldn’t tell,” Lilith murmured in some surprise to herself.

“Will females be easier to deal with?” Xiao Lin knew very little about the dragon race, but the impression that men could fight better than women was still deeply ingrained in him.

“Sorry to burst your bubble, but the dragon race is a matriarchal society. The fighting power of females is generally higher than that of males.”

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly. “Do you have even the tiniest bit of useful information?”

“When you put that condition forward, I had a rough guess that it would transform, but to tell you the truth, it’s all pointless. Believe me, even if its strength is suppressed to Black Iron-rank, it will never be on the same level as us. Well, it doesn’t matter though. This may take a bit longer, but I’m really looking forward to experiencing the extent of a black dragon’s power!”

“It sounds like you’re cursing me to be beaten to death so that you can go next.”

“Well, if you prefer, you can think of it that way.”

“You actually admitted it...”

The two of them could still joke around in a time of crisis, but their antics made the black dragon—or more accurately, the woman—a little impatient. Its voice did not change much after the transformation, through there was an additional bit of elegance and magnetism that was unique to women. Nevertheless, the arrogance and indifference unique to the dragon race has become more and more evident.

“Well, in any case, I’ll try first.”

Xiao Lin took out the Holy Soul Sword. He had almost recovered from the exhaustion suffered during the first level’s battle had. Faced a black dragon-level opponent, he was aware of the fact that there was little chance of a victory even though the opponent turned into a human and deliberately suppressed their strength. In spite of his optimism in front of Lilith or how much he silently cursed the mysterious Silverlight’s ancestors, he still had to bite the bullet and face the most difficult obstacle in front of him.

“Don’t be nervous. I’ll make good on my promise to hold back.” The dragon lady had a look of anticipation. It seemed that she really did spend too many years in loneliness.
