“Dragon Clan?!” Ao Xieyun's eyes widened, and he let out a stammering sound, already shocked to the point of being speechless.
Thinking of the round patch on the sole of his foot that resembled a fungal infection, sometimes he even thought about peeling it off but couldn’t budge it. It turns out it was a piece of Dragon Scale?
Dragon Scale?!
Dragon Clan?!
So, does that mean I'm not human?
Ao Xieyun's mind was a blur, dizzy and nearly unable to hold himself up. Even though he had strong self-control, he couldn't accept this at this moment.
Just like us, if one day someone suddenly said, “Child, you are actually Ultraman...,” our reaction would likely be to shout: “Shut up!”
Ao Xieyun didn't curse out loud, which was already quite filial... After all, it was his father who said this.
Compared to the so-called “Dragon Clan,” Chu Imperial Seat had no interest in being shocked anymore.
All his astonishment had already been expressed moments ago.
Now, with the sudden appearance of the Dragon Clan, Chu Imperial Seat was quite indifferent.
Dragon Clan? What’s the big deal? Do they have any prophetic abilities? And are those prophetic abilities just as ridiculous as nonsense... Do they exist?
Tan Tan... is the real deal.
Ao Tianxing sighed, but both Chu Yang and Ao Xieyun could tell that in that sigh, it was hard to decipher the meaning as it contained too much excitement...
People can sigh even when overwhelmed with joy...
“And also, when you were just born, not only did you have golden scales on your feet, but you also had a three-star birthmark on your head!” Ao Tianxing looked at his son, slowly saying, “Do you know what that signifies?”
“What does it represent?” Ao Xieyun struggled to activate his thoughts to contemplate this matter, but found himself utterly confused and unable to grasp any clue.
“Our Ao Clan's third-generation ancestor was extraordinarily talented; it was he who discovered the dragon vein. In his final moments, he left a prophecy: ‘Three stars atop the head, golden scales beneath the feet; through countless tribulations, one shall not sink even in nine deaths; through the vicissitudes of time, the dragon will soar amidst the storm!’”
Ao Tianxing continued: “This means that one day, a person with three stars on their head and dragon scales beneath their feet will emerge from our Ao Clan. After enduring countless trials, they will revive the glory of the Dragon Clan! Soar above the storm!”
Ao Xieyun looked helplessly at Chu Yang, who responded with a bitter smile.
Brother, even though I am knowledgeable... I really don’t know much about things from a hundred thousand years ago…
“So this time, even if you are in danger, we kept our composure and did not come to rescue you: because... only strong individuals can grow through adversity! Later, upon learning that you were still alive, your father felt both amazed and relieved, and immediately decided to cleanse the family!”
“Traditionally, the cleansing has always been done by the patriarch; logically speaking, this cleansing should be left to you. Once you take charge of the Ao Family, you should face this cruelty yourself. But I did it for you.”
“Because you are the hope of the Ao Family. If you were the one to cleanse it, it’s inevitable that inner demons would remain. That way, you wouldn’t be able to reach the peak and revive the dragon clan bloodline…”
Ao Xieyun finally understood: “Could it be that this bloodline... is actually related to strength?”
“Of course!” Ao Tianxing replied: “Without sufficient strength, how could one revive the bloodline? The power of the Dragon Clan is earth-shattering; with your current strength… even if you restore your dragon form, how much power could you exert? You might not even be able to lift a claw; even as a dragon... you would be a paralyzed dragon!”
Chu Yang found it both amusing and absurd, looking at Ao Tianxing’s serious expression, he struggled to hold back his laughter.
