Fang Chen raised his heavy head and looked at the female knight on the shore. Though she wore Yun Ying's troop uniform, she had drawn her sword.
He wasn't flustered at all. He simply stared calmly. It was just a sword—normal weapons could no longer hurt him. Unless it was the kind that could cut through iron like mud, it wouldn't even leave a scratch.
Under Fang Chen's intense gaze, the female knight's hands trembled uncontrollably.
It was as if she had been locked onto by an overwhelmingly dangerous predator—her entire body felt suffocated.
But… "It's not enough!" Her face was filled with fear, yet in her eyes was a burning desire as she stared at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen frowned. Was this woman… a masochist? One of those who got more excited the more they were beaten?
"It's not enough!" The female knight suddenly stepped forward, walking straight toward Fang Chen.
That intense desire in her gaze felt like it was peeling away Fang Chen's false exterior, yearning to claim something deep within him.
It wasn't the tender gaze of a lover, but it burned with a warmth so intense that it could consume. A desire so fierce it could frighten even the one it targeted—afraid that everything about themselves might be devoured.
A mantis. That's how Fang Chen defined her. Like a predator wanting to consume everything her prey possessed—even if that prey was someone she loved the most. A desire to devour all.
As Fang Chen's eyes turned serious, he slowly walked out of the water toward the knight.
The webbing on his feet proved that he was still a lizard—but there was no other lizard like him, a creature so monstrous.
As he approached, the pressure grew heavier. At that moment, Fang Chen was like a mountain, radiating a suffocating aura, all pressing down on her.
"Guh—!" The intense pressure crashed over her, but all it did was heighten her nerves.
"Not enough!!! Still not enough!!! Let me see it!!! Let me see that sacred form!!!"
The female knight fell into madness, the crazed obsession in her eyes provoking Fang Chen.
Fang Chen's pupils contracted. In the next instant, he understood what she was really after—and rage flared in his eyes.
"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAARR!!!"
His blood surged, preparing for battle. He raised his upper body and got ready to strike.
But in the very next second, the knight's thrilled expression turned into one of disappointment.
"How…?! I didn't… see it… WHY?! WHY didn't that sacred body appear?!"
She suddenly grabbed her hair and, like a madwoman, screamed at Fang Chen.
"..." Fang Chen frowned deeply, confused about what this woman was trying to do.
"Come on! Roar at me again! Let me see! That sacred Great Dragon!!!"
To this knight, hiding? She didn't care. Escaping? Irrelevant. At this moment, the only meaning in her existence was to see that form again—that radiant image that had turned her entire worldview upside down.
Fang Chen looked at the woman yelling at him and slowly understood what she meant.
She hadn't truly seen his real form—just a fleeting image during his Dragon Roar that had driven her mad?
"System! What's going on?!" Fang Chen frowned as he asked.
[Scanning… Scan complete: The human in front of you has an extremely high compatibility rate with Dragonkin. When you previously released Dragon Might, all Dragonkin factors in her soul resonated with it. Your true form was imprinted as her only kin and etched into her consciousness.]
"Dragonkin compatibility, huh…" With the system's explanation, Fang Chen slowly understood the situation.
[Recommendation: When leaving this world, take her with you. If she can sense your Dragon Might, it proves her potential for reincarnating as a Dragonkin is extremely high. She could be born with at least a Tier 4 direct bloodline.]
The system's suggestion didn't bother him. It was just a small matter anyway.
Fang Chen didn't believe that, after learning about this human, the system would abandon her in this godforsaken land.
As the female knight's face turned more and more crazed, and she was just about to truly attack—
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and exhaled a breath that instantly knocked her backward.
He glanced at her once, then turned around and walked back toward the water, submerging himself again, leaving only a small, rocky hill with a spinning drill behind him to provide oxygen.
Meanwhile, because of what Fang Chen had done, word of his presence began spreading across the entire continent.
At the border battlefield of the Cloud Dragon Emperor Empire, the Empire had dispatched a terrifying magical beast.
This magical beast was covered in stone. From the cracks in its rocky armor protruded fearsome, storm-churning drills.
Its colossal body and unstoppable power crushed everything in its path.
No one dared to touch the drills. Their power to shatter mountains and pierce anything became the stuff of legend.
The Emperor naturally knew who it was. But when he heard the stories of drills and rocks, he furrowed his brow.
Later, with more information, he came to understand that the beast not only understood human speech but was incredibly trustworthy.
But there were still many mysteries—how had it gotten there so fast? What had happened in those three days that triggered its Evolution? What exactly was this magical beast now?
These became hot topics among the people, as no scholar could decipher the truth from such bizarre descriptions.
But what was undeniable was the raw, terrifying power Fang Chen had displayed on the battlefield—just by charging once, he had broken the morale of the entire enemy force.
Eventually, after much discussion, the world officially classified Fang Chen as a new magical beast species:
Rock Drill Beast.
His heavy rocky body and drills that could pierce anything became his trademarks.
Danger rating—SSS.
All this information spread rapidly across the land, while Fang Chen remained completely unaware that the entire continent now knew his name.
He was simply lying at the bottom of the lake, feeling the light tickling sensation of something scratching at the rock on his back.
He shook his body slightly—and someone slid right off.
The drills on his back spun, drawing oxygen into his body.
The human beside him, however, still hadn't given up. She continued poking at him, muttering who-knows-what.
But underwater, nothing could be clearly heard.
So Fang Chen ignored her and calmly soaked in the water, occasionally shaking his body to shake her off again.
No one knew how much time passed.
