Bingpo breezed through the intelligence test, but it wasn’t as simple as it looked.
Questions had a 10-second answer limit. Fail to answer, and the pillar drops a notch. Some later questions, if wrong, could tank it several notches. Many challengers, thinking they’re hotshots, picked the intelligence test and bombed—too many wrong or too slow. Only Bingpo, nailing every answer instantly, made it look easy.
The combat test, on the other hand, was pure fighting power—standard for a dragon clan “trial zone.”
Bingpo picking brains and Chiyan picking brawn was the perfect call. For muscle-brained Chiyan, if not for her spat with Bingpo, she’d have chosen combat anyway.
Half a minute after Bingpo’s test ended, Chiyan’s combat test kicked off.
Chiyan’s eyes, wide as saucers, scanned around, buzzing with excitement. “What’s the test gonna be? Oh man, I’m hyped!”
She got as pumped as Bingpo before her test, but she probably wouldn’t be disappointed, because…
Boom, boom, boom!
The second floor shook violently. The dragon corpse in front of Chiyan moved!
Its lifeless eyes suddenly blazed red, its massive body slowly rising, glaring at Chiyan.
Even in dragon form, Chiyan looked tiny compared to this thing. As mentioned before, dragon size ties to level—this one was at least level 900 in life. “Detect!”
Chiyan and Bingpo, unable to interfere, both used Detect. Bingpo failed, but Chiyan got through.

“A corpse dragon!”
Chiyan and Bingpo gasped in shock. Outside, Filo, watching via video interface, clutched her arms.
What’s wrong with her?
She’s grossed out.
At first, lying down, it wasn’t obvious. Now, standing, the corpse dragon’s rotting parts were clear—disgusting. Any human would gag; for an aesthetically pure Blood Clan, that decayed body was stomach-churning.
Filo covered her mouth. The white dragon, spooked, slapped a mosaic over the corpse dragon in the video.
Filo stared at the mosaiced dragon, silent. Less gross, sure, but now it looked weirder. The mosaic cloaked it, shaking like some glitchy nightmare.
“This mosaic… genius…” Filo muttered. The white dragon thought it was praise, puffing up proudly.
“Of course! I’m the Overlord White Dragon, famed for mosaics!” she boasted.
What the hell’s a mosaic dragon…
Filo gave up roasting. Are any dragons normal?
She kept watching Chiyan and the corpse dragon—the real stars.
Chiyan faced the massive beast. Normal dragons would panic against something twice their size, but not her. She was maxed-out excited.
“Remember, the dragon beating you is Red Dragon Clan’s genius, Chiyan!” she roared.
Chiyan leaped, claws tight, unleashing [Dragon Claw].
Crack!
Her claws hit the corpse dragon, but her grin froze—it didn’t even scratch the skin.
The corpse dragon paused, then swatted Chiyan from the air. She spun, unharmed, landing a borrowed-force punch to its jaw.
“Eat this, Lushan Rising Dragon Fist!”
Crack!
The hit… was epic!
The corpse dragon soared skyward. It had no consciousness to be shocked, but the white dragon outside was floored.
“This redhead… my descendant! Her combat instincts are insane, seizing that counter!” The white dragon gaped, turning to Filo, who was totally chill.
Only a Blood Clan True Ancestor could shrug off that slick move? Wait, the red and blue girls call her Master? Dragons apprenticed to a Blood Clan? She’s…
It clicked. The True Ancestor’s cunning—befriending dragon descendants is genius. If she ditched them for enemies, it’d be terrifying…
Filo stood there, oblivious to the white dragon’s wild theories. She was just watching like it’s a popcorn flick.
Joking—she’s seen Transformers and Star Wars. This fight’s thrill level? Barely a blip. If anything moved her, it was that mosaiced corpse dragon.
Can you imagine a white, mosaiced blob shaking like a glitchy mess? Filo’s dying to roast it.
Terrible experience, one-star review!
