The Black Dragon King watched the Hua Xia people enter their cultivation state and muttered to himself, "These little fellows have truly good talent. It's already the third day. After today, they should all wake up."
"Mm, this clueless doll has the best talent, but his lack of intelligence is a big problem," the Black Dragon King said, casting more glances at Ying Xuan.
"And this little divine trickster is also decent, but I heard from young Lin that this little guy has poor character and likes to tease women. That's not a good habit."
"This little girl seems to be young Lin's wife. Very good, very good. If these two little ones have a child in the future, their talent might just produce another Human Emperor for our Hua Xia."
"And these two cold ones, those few boisterous ones, and the one with two dogs, they are all good children. It seems our Hua Xia's destiny is about to erupt once again."
"Alas, my five children. Rest assured, your father, now that I have awakened again, will make the God Clan pay for their blood debts. Your Uncle Da and Uncle Yan will surely support me too." The Black Dragon King looked at the young Hua Xia generation, his thoughts drifting to his fallen children.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhan, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Hei had also been stewing for three days.
Yu Long Yan watched the golden cauldron cease its heat: "Mm, it should be about done. I hope these little ones haven't been stewed too thoroughly, though the smell is quite fragrant."
He flew to above the golden cauldron, waved his hand, and lifted the lid: "Are you cooked? Can you still come out?"
Lin Zhan heard the sound and opened his eyes. A golden light shot out from his eyes as he felt the changes within his body: "Mm, I've advanced to Gold. So strong."
He turned and saw Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei, who had also woken up. He sensed that both beasts had also successfully advanced to the Gold level.
"System, are you still there? Query my overall attributes and those of Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei."

Lin Zhan, with Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei, jumped directly out of the golden cauldron and landed on the ground, feeling the immense power within his body. He waved his hand, and a golden saber light shot out: "Is this Gold? It's so much stronger."
He then turned to observe the changes in Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei.
Xiao Jin had changed significantly. It was now a full 30 meters long and about two meters thick. The two small bulges on its head had transformed into two small horns, each 10 centimeters long. Its scales had become even thicker, each as large as a washbasin, and when struck, they emitted a resonant metallic clang.
Xiao Hei's appearance hadn't changed much, only its size had greatly increased. Its shell had a diameter of a full 15 meters, its body length exceeded 20 meters, and its height was nearly 6 meters. Its four limbs had become more robust, and given Xiao Hei's tendency to headbutt, even a furious bear would have its skull shattered.
"Good heavens, these two little fellows have grown so fast! Their physique is larger than that of ordinary Platinum (Early Stage) cultivators," Yu Long Yan said with curiosity, looking at Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei.
"Young Lin, your foundation has been laid well. Next, this elder ancestor will teach you how to fight properly. Your usual combat style is too crude, you only know how to charge headfirst."
"The main focus of a Beast Master's combat lies in the 'mastery' aspect, meaning you need to fight in coordination with your spirit pets. When I say coordination, I don't mean just coordinating combat techniques like you do."
"Instead, it encompasses fundamental skills, techniques, combat styles, combat methods, spiritual connection, and the mutual synergy of talent abilities."
"Like the combined skill of these two little brats, it's the most basic coordinated combat technique, but the fusion of the two elements isn't complete, so the power is greatly diminished."
"For divine beasts, it's difficult to control and fuse elements that are not their innate talent, but this is precisely what our Human Race excels at. If you utilize your own lightning element to assist the fusion, combined with the sharpness of your Overlord Saber, the power of this skill could at least double." Yu Long Yan explained the shortcomings of the Profound Water Cannon and its improvement methods.
"Young Lin, you have cultivation methods for the spirit, right? It's good that you know how to develop comprehensively at such a young age. Your current physique tempering and enhancement progress, along with your spiritual power growth, can support you for the next stage of strength evolution."
"All three of you, first familiarize yourselves with your bodies and the changes in the vital energy within. Afterwards, I will take the three of you into the forbidden area of the Yu Long Clan, the Dragon Taming Space, to observe and learn the Yu Long Clan's cultivation techniques and combat skills."
Lin Zhan and Xiao Jin, Xiao Hei listened to Yu Long Yan and began to familiarize themselves with their changes and strengths, practicing all their combat skills one by one.
Lin Zhan directly unleashed his Overlord Saber, and a 30-meter-long phantom of a colossal saber appeared, slashing forward: "The Overlord Saber has also become much larger. Before, the phantom of the Overlord Saber was only about 10 meters."
