Xiao Hei's changes weren't significant, only that its size increased. Its turtle shell alone had a diameter of a full 7 meters, its length exceeded 10 meters, and its height was close to 3.5 meters, making it a massive turtle.
Lin Zhan looked at the snake and the turtle, his breath catching. Xiao Jin's overall attributes had directly reached Gold Low Tier, combined with its powerful lightning attacks, its combat strength was self-evident. Xiao Hei, with its Gold Mid Tier constitution and even higher defense strength, had directly reached Gold Peak, complemented by two defensive skills and a recovery skill; it was an unkillable cockroach. If these two activated their rune armaments and origin sharing, anyone below Platinum would likely die without even knowing how.
"Boss, how is it? Did I change a lot this time? I've directly reached Silver High Tier and still feel a bit unaccustomed. Brother Hei has also grown bigger."
"Boss, Brother Snake, this time our brothers are the gunners! Anyone who doesn't obey, we'll smash their stalls!" This social turtle, as soon as it opened its mouth, was full of slang, and Lin Zhan truly wondered where it learned it and what it experienced in its youth.
Lin Shanhe heard the commotion and instantly appeared before the man and two beasts: "Good heavens, how did you two grow so large? My courtyard can barely fit you both."
"Uncle Lin, Xiao Hei and I have awakened our ancestral bloodline, so we can't be compared to ordinary spirit beasts."
"Good, good, good." Lin Shanhe patted Xiao Hei's turtle shell, producing a dull thud. "Xiao Hei, this shell is truly hard. Even with my Golden High Tier strength, you didn't react at all."
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Hei, activate Divine Beast Rune Armament."
Xiao Jin activated its rune armament first, donning a half-body back armor from head to toe. The back armor had about half-meter long serrated armor blades standing upright. Its head wore a helmet with a faceplate, and a three-sided horn about half a meter long protruded from its forehead. Its tail was wrapped in a broadsword-shaped tail armor. What a treasure! Xiao Jin had grown, and its armed armor could grow along with it.
Subsequently, Xiao Hei also activated its rune armament. Its turtle shell was covered with an outer armor about half a meter thick with half-meter long spikes. Its limbs were fitted with heavy armor blades, and its head wore a helmet with a ramming horn. Fine chain mail tightly protected its neck.
Lin Shanhe exclaimed in surprise: "There's this thing too? It increases combat power by a full half. Are the tattoos on Xiao Jin's body this thing?"
"How's that, Dad? Will you believe I can kill Gold Tier now?" Lin Zhan proudly boasted.
"Go to your academy's forbidden area and find your Uncle Jin Jiao. Let him train Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei. Back then, your mother and I, Jin Jiao, and your two uncles fought those dog whelps from the myriad races every day. Your combat experience can't compare to you young ones," a voice from Su Dan's novel website said.
Lin Zhan thought, 'That's reliable!' and immediately had Xiao Hei carry him and Xiao Jin as they rushed out the gate.
"I need to pick up my wife first."
"Put these two away. Don't let them outside and cause panic..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Hei carrying one person and one snake disappear: "Damn it, when did turtles get so fast?"
Lin Zhan rode Xiao Hei into the Zhang Family Manor, instantly alarming the manor's guards. Five Gold Warriors surrounded Xiao Hei: "Where did this behemoth come from? It looks like Xuan Wu."
"Brothers, please don't misunderstand. I've come to find my wife." Lin Zhan quickly explained.
"There's someone on top!" Xiao Jin was coiled around Xiao Hei, resembling the legendary Xuan Wu so closely that it was astonishing. They hadn't even noticed the person on top.
"So it's Young Master Lin. The young lady is at home. Please, help yourself." The guards recognized Lin Zhan as the Zhang family's prospective son-in-law.
"You brothers are too kind. Just call me Lin Zhan."
Zhang Lingxiu and her mother heard the commotion and came out: "Lin Zhan, where did you get a Xuan Wu? No, that's Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei! Are you two playing cosplay here?"
"Uh... Sister-in-law, do we look that cool? It's all the boss's idea to see you quickly, so Xiao Hei carried us here in a hurry." Xiao Jin didn't hesitate to betray its boss.
"Aunt An, I've come to find Sister Lingxiu. We're going to the academy for Uncle Jin Jiao to train Xiao Hei and Xiao Jin," Lin Zhan said to his mother-in-law.
"You're not planning to go like this, are you? Hurry and get down. Let the driver at home take you two."
Lin Zhan put Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei into his spatial storage. The Zhang family driver drove the two to the academy.
Upon arriving at the back mountain's spirit medicine garden, they met Li Zhenshan: "Dean, I need to go to the forbidden area to see Uncle Jin Jiao. My dad wants Uncle Jin Jiao to help train Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei."
"What level are Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei? They need Jin Jiao to train them," Li Zhenshan said casually.
Lin Zhan waved his hand and summoned Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei.
"Holy cow, they've grown so big! What did you feed them?" Li Zhenshan knew that when Xiao Jin first signed the contract with Lin Zhan, it was only about two meters long. Now? It was at least fifteen or sixteen meters long.
"Let's go, we'll go see your dad," Li Zhenshan said, patting Xiao Jin's large head.
Xiao Hei carried Lin Zhan, and Li Zhenshan followed on Xiao Hei as they charged towards the forbidden area at lightning speed.
"How is Xiao Hei running so fast? Even ordinary spirit beasts might not be able to outrun it at this speed." Li Zhenshan was very surprised by Xiao Hei's speed.
The group passed through the restriction and entered the forbidden area. Jin Jiao, Linglong, and Li Zhenhai heard the commotion and came over.
"Oh my, my son and Xiao Hei Zi have come to see us. Son, you've grown a lot again. Lin Zhan, what did you feed this kid?" Jin Jiao looked at Xiao Jin on Xiao Hei's back.
"This tattoo is really handsome. Son, when will you take Dad to get one?"
Before Jin Jiao could finish speaking, he was hit by Linglong's tail: "What do you want to get?"
"But son, when did you get this tattoo? Don't you learn from those delinquent teenagers, lest you end up like your dad, never serious."
Jin Jiao... Why am I not serious? I'm being shot while lying down.
"Dad, Mom, this isn't a tattoo, it's rune armament."
"Come here, Hei Zi, show Dad and Mom." After speaking, he and Xiao Hei activated their rune armaments.
"Whoa, what kind of high technology is this?" everyone exclaimed, eyes wide open.
