No matter what Yangos's original personality was like, it had signed a Soul Servant Contract with Ye Zhongming, which was almost the most solid agreement. As long as Ye Zhongming wished, it couldn't escape its fate of being controlled, so this Evil Dragon could be trusted.
Ye Zhongming was not surprised by its request to continue offering tributes. This guy had tasted the benefits and naturally wouldn't let go easily, which aligned with Yangos's usual style. However, Ye Zhongming needed to make some trade-offs.
After all, there were only so many tributes left. Allowing Yangos to continue giving them without knowing what abilities would be enhanced was somewhat risky.
However, when Ye Zhongming's gaze fell on the curious Yama Tree and the still wary Spirit Woman, he chose to agree to Yangos's request.
"Boss!"
"Zhongming!"
The people at Cloud Summit were all advising against it. Although Yangos had completely become Ye Zhongming's battle pet and its strength was also Ye Zhongming's strength, this still did not compare to making himself stronger. Given the limited tributes, this choice did not maximize benefits.
But Ye Zhongming didn’t explain. He simply waved his hand and let Yangos continue. At first, he only let the Evil Dragon throw in a little tribute before enhancing its abilities, wanting to see if the randomly increased ability values were worth the continued investment.
The result made Ye Zhongming smile. This time, the Gate of Blessing could grant Yangos what Ye Zhongming hoped to see... evolution level.
However, this enhancement was one-time only, constantly prompting that energy was insufficient and urging for more tributes.
Since it had begun, Ye Zhongming definitely wouldn't give up. He had Yangos continue to contribute tributes, waiting for the moment of evolution.
Watching the dwindling offerings, the people at Cloud Summit felt anxious and helpless. They thought the boss's actions were unwise, even a bit foolish; giving benefits to others was not as satisfying as benefiting oneself. But they all knew that once Ye Zhongming made a decision, it was unchangeable. Even Xia Lei did not try to persuade him, and the others wisely kept silent.
However, their gazes towards the Evil Dragon were not very friendly. This guy was really taking advantage and putting on an act. Having already upgraded its dragon breath and obtained great benefits, it should know when to stop, but it insisted on offering more tributes, which was simply greedy.
Previously, whether on Earth or later in the secret realm, Yangos had always been on the opposing side of Cloud Summit and had clashed with many people. After being tamed by Ye Zhongming, those issues had been suppressed. But now, 'old grudges and new hatreds' surged back, making Yangos, who was throwing in tributes, look around anxiously, fearing someone might suddenly attack it.
After consuming a large amount of tributes, when only a quarter of the prepared offerings were left, the energy finally met the conditions for Yangos to upgrade. A beam of red and white light was projected from the Gate of Blessing, enveloping the Evil Dragon’s body.
Like a baptism, the light illuminated Yangos from head to toe. Then, the giant dragon's body suddenly stood upright, its head raised high, letting out a loud roar that echoed throughout the entire city on the mountaintop.
Aside from Ye Zhongming, the others didn’t know what benefits Yangos had gained this time. Seeing the giant dragon visibly changing at a rapid pace surprised everyone.
Among them, the Holy Maiden was the first to realize what was happening because the Holy Father had done the same before. At that moment, she suddenly understood that it wasn’t that the Holy Father’s methods were extraordinary; he had also completed the enhancement of Yangos with the help of the Gate of Blessing.
The scene at that time was very similar to now.
After the light disappeared, Yangos no longer stood upright. When everyone saw the orange magic crystal on its forehead, they finally understood what had happened.
