nThe Blaze Salamander didn’t need to hurt its skin to let out a drop of blood.

nAs a spirit beast with a high level of cultivation, all it took was a single thought for a drop of blood to come out.

nLin Fan used his spiritual energy to wrap up this drop of blood and held it up in front of him while using his Appraisal Eyes on it.

nHowever, he was disappointed to find that it wasn’t what he wanted it to be.

nIn fact, this drop of blood didn’t even have a trace of dragon blood in it.

nIt was nothing more than a simple drop of blood from a Blaze Salamander according to the Appraisal Eyes.

nHowever, Lin Fan didn’t give up hope.

nAfter all, this was a drop of blood from a Blaze Salamander that had the bloodline of a true flame dragon. It should be effective in releasing the seal…

nSo holding the drop of blood in one hand, he waved his other hand to summon out his sword, Gramr.

nThat was right, he wanted the drop of blood to release the seal on Gramr.

nGramr needed the blood of five elemental dragons to release all five seals on it and so far, only one seal had been released with the blood of Hayase.

nLin Fan was hoping that this blood from the Blaze Salamander would be enough for him to break this seal.

nHe brought the hand with the drop of blood in it over the blade of Gramr and then in one swift movement, he flipped his hand over and let the drop of blood fall down. The drop of blood fell right onto the blade and then was absorbed by Gramr.

nHowever, the moment that it was absorbed, nothing else happened.

nAfter waiting for a bit, there was no reaction from Gramr at all.

nIt was clear that this drop of blood wasn’t working which filled Lin Fan with disappointment.

nHe had thought that he would be able to unlock another seal on Gramr and increase his power again, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

nIf he had been able to unlock another one of Gramr’s seal, that would have been the perfect power up before his trip to Night Fang City.

nMu Bao Bao told him that it was a very dangerous place and he believed her. So even if he had to go, he would want to become as strong as possible before going, which was why he had done this experiment in the first place.

nBut now, all he felt was disappointment…

nUntil he suddenly thought of something.

nIn the novels that he read, when these spirit beasts had dragon blood in them, it would normally be a single drop of dragon blood or something like that.

nSo could it be that he had the wrong idea just using the Blaze Salamander’s blood?

nDid he have to ask for a special drop of dragon’s blood from the Blaze Salamander for it to work?

nAs these thoughts filled his mind, he couldn’t help turning to look at the Blaze Salamander who had relaxed after seeing the disappointed look on Lin Fan’s face.

nWhen the Blaze Salamander saw this, it couldn’t help feeling a tremble run down its spine.

nIt could tell that Lin Fan wanted something else and this time, it didn’t feel like it would get away as simply as giving a drop of blood…

nSo the Blaze Salamander didn’t hesitate to start acting cute for Lin Fan in hopes of provoking sympathy from him.

nBut that display did nothing for Lin Fan as his eyes started to sparkle as he looked at the Blaze Salamander.

nSeeing this, the Blaze Salamander tried acting even cuter as it knew that something bad was about to happen.

nLin Fan patted the Blaze Salamander on the head and said, “Igneel, can you give me a drop of your dragon blood?”

nThe moment that the Blaze Salamander heard this, it couldn’t help trembling.

nIt wasn’t trembling out of anger, it wasn’t trembling out of indignation, it was trembling out of fear.

nThat was because it had heard Lin Fan intimately calling it by the name that he had named it. To the Blaze Salamander Igneel, it didn’t feel any intimacy coming from it, but rather it heard it as a threat.

nIt was clear that this “request” from Lin Fan wasn’t actually a request, but rather an order.

nBut the Blaze Salamander was really unwilling to accept this request.

nIt was a variant spirit beast and not a true member of the fire dragon race.

nSo the fire dragon blood that it had was only obtained when it evolved.

nUntil it was able to evolve into a true dragon, it wouldn’t be able to produce the fire dragon blood on its own. So the few drops of fire dragon blood that it currently had were all that it would have until it could evolve again.

nEvery drop that was lost was considered a drop that was lost forever.

nSo the Blaze Salamander was very unwilling to accept this request.

nBut seeing the look on Lin Fan’s face…it knew that it didn’t have a choice.

nIn the end, the Blaze Salamander opened its mouth and slowly, there was a drop of red blood that came out of its mouth.

nThis was a red colour that was different from the normal red colour of blood. It had an orange tint to it and looked to be the same colour as a flame.

nAt the same time, when it came closer to Lin Fan, he could feel that there was a slight heat coming from this drop of blood.

nThis heat wasn’t searing, but it was definitely powerful.

nLin Fan reached out and wrapped his own spiritual energy around the drop of blood. At the same time, he also used a bit of his ice powers to cool down the drop of blood so that it didn’t burn him.

nAfter he received this drop of blood, Lin Fan looked back and used his Appraisal Eyes on the Blaze Salamander.

nHe found that after giving up this drop of blood, the purity of the Blaze Salamander’s new bloodline had dropped.

nIt seemed that he had been correct with his guess.

nThe blood purity was based on the amount of blood with the true dragon bloodline that the Blaze Salamander had. Every drop that it gained or lost would determine the purity of the Blaze Salamander’s bloodline.

nSo losing this drop of blood was a big loss for the Blaze Salamander.

nLin Fan knew that it had just made a big sacrifice, so he patted it on the head and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you increase your bloodline purity. While the same evolution crystal wouldn’t have an effect, there are other things that I can give you.”

nThe Blaze Salamander’s eyes lit up when it heard this.

nThis was the main reason why it had given up this drop of blood in the first place was because Lin Fan had given it that crystal that had helped it evolve.

nWhile the taming would make Lin Fan’s orders more effective on his pets, it wasn’t as if it was an absolute contract. That was because they were pets and not slaves or puppets, so they had their own thoughts.𝑶𝑣𝐋𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t

nIf there was a request that went against the bottom line of the pets, it would still be able to reject the request.

nIn the end, the Blaze Salamander accepted since if Lin Fan could pull out one thing like this that would help it evolve, then it was possible that Lin Fan would be able to bring out more things like this.

nIt did it for the future.

nAnd it wasn’t disappointed with the result.

nHearing this, the Blaze Salamander rubbed up against Lin Fan’s hand that was petting it on the head.

nWith the drop of blood, Lin Fan summoned out Gramr again.

nThis time, when the drop of blood came near Gramr, there was a tremble that filled the blade, reaching the hilt that Lin Fan was holding.

nFeeling this, he knew that this time, it would work.

nSo without hesitation, he flipped his hand and let the drop of blood fall down onto the blade of Gramr.

nThe moment that the drop of blood touched the blade of Gramr, there were flames that suddenly appeared around the blade.

nLin Fan couldn’t help being taken aback by this since he hadn’t seen anything like this last time.

nLast time, Gramr had gotten some of Hayase’s blood while fighting, which had allowed it to break one of its seals. It hadn’t released this kind of phenomenon when it broke through the seal back then.

nSo Lin Fan couldn’t help being surprised by this sudden change with Gramr.

nAs the flames appeared, the Blaze Salamander who had been watching on the side couldn’t help being filled with fear.

nThere was a strong feeling of death that came from this blade covered in fear and it couldn’t help moving back as much as possible. Even when its back was pressed against the wall, the Blaze Salamander didn’t think that it was far enough back from the blade.

nIt did all it could to flatten its body against the wall.

nLin Fan just watched as the flames surrounded Gramr. Since the flames never reached the hilt that he was holding, he was able to keep it in front of him the whole time.

nFinally, after the flames burned for a few minutes, they disappeared.

nLin Fan immediately used his Appraisal Eyes to look at the stats.

nWhen the description appeared, his chin couldn’t help dropping.
