Beside the pillar of the Dragon King Altar, countless people and dragons were waiting for Kang Shin-mu, the only son of Jiang Zizai.
At this moment, Kang Shin-mu was still in a simple but elegant room in the palace.
Of course he knew what day it was, but before he went to the Dragon King Altar, he had to come here. His mother was bedridden and needed someone to take care of her.
Outside the wooden window, withered leaves were falling and the cold wind was blowing.
In the room, on the dressing table that had long been neglected, there was a bowl of warm medicinal soup. It was brewed by Jiang Shenwu for his mother. Although it might not necessarily have any effect, it would at least warm her body.
On the simple but elegant wooden bed, a woman was bedridden. Her youthful beauty could be vaguely seen, but now she was suffering from a strange illness. Her body was extremely weak, and no one could find any clues as to the cause of her illness even after searching the entire Jiang tribe.
"Shen Wu, it has already been ten years since your father disappeared, and you have finally stepped into the Ascending Dragon Realm. In the future, if you can rise up like your father, I, as your mother, will have no regrets," the woman said softly.
Kang Shin-mu nodded and said seriously, "Mother, don't worry. I will not let you down."
Although Kang Shin-mu was only fifteen years old, he had already stepped into the Dragon Ascension Realm. His slightly immature face was filled with determination.
To be able to step into the Dragon Ascension Realm at the age of fifteen, not only in the Jiang tribe, but in the entire Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty, it was an achievement second to none.
Because of this, the focus of the entire Jiang tribe was on him, the son of the Jiang tribe's former patriarch.
Countless people had high expectations for him, but secretly, there were also countless people waiting for him to fall. Because he was the son of the Jiang tribe's patriarch, he was a member of the Royal Palace of the Five Prefectures. In the other four prefectures, there were people who wanted to suppress the Royal Palace.
Although the current Kang Shin-mu had stepped into the Dragon Ascension Realm at the age of fifteen and was a top genius in the world, and the target of countless people's jealousy, Kang Shin-mu himself was under great pressure.
His father had disappeared ten years ago, and there was no news from him. His mother was bedridden, and her body was getting weaker and weaker. There was no hope of her getting better. This made Kang Shin-mu mature early.
Compared to other fifteen-year-old boys, Kang Shin-mu's mind was undoubtedly more meticulous and mature.
"I believe in you, Shen Wu. You are just like your father in the past. You will definitely achieve great things."
The bedridden woman chuckled and looked at Kang Shin-mu, her son, with a pair of gentle eyes.
In her eyes, Kang Shin-mu's young but determined face was reflected. His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes were almost identical to her missing husband's.
Especially that pair of eyes, they were so clear, so carefree, so confident, and also contained soaring ambition.
But now, in Kang Shin-mu's eyes, there was a bit more responsibility than his father had in the past. Some heavy burdens made the woman's heart ache.
A fifteen-year-old child had to bear so much. His father was missing and his mother was ill. It could even be said that he had no relatives in the entire Jiang clan. He only had his uncle that he could rely on.
Most importantly, if Kang Shin-mu were to go to the Dragon King's Altar today, it would be fine if he could inherit the Divine Dragon's blood essence. But if he couldn't, then what awaited him would be a storm of attacks.
Countless people stared at the Royal Palace. This was the son of the Jiang tribe's patriarch. Even within the Royal Palace, there were many people who were eyeing the position of patriarch.
The explosion of the Absolute Beginning Furnace produced a terrifying wave that swept out in all directions.
"Hurry up and go. It's a pity that your father and mother can't be with you on this important day. No matter what happens, you can only face it alone. This is the day you're going to transform into a dragon." The woman on the bed had a hint of sadness between her brows.
Hearing this, Jiang Zi quickly interrupted his mother, "Mother, just rest well. I'll be back soon. I'll bring you good news soon."
"Okay."
The woman nodded.
Kang Shin-mu stood up and turned around. He picked up the bowl of medicinal soup and fed it to his mother. Then, he stood up and left, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Today was the day of his dragon transformation. Although his father was missing and his mother was bedridden, as long as he could obtain the Divine Dragon's blood essence, everything would be fine. At least, he wouldn't be bullied!
??
Great Jiang Dragon City, Dragon King's Sacrificial Altar!
Thirty thousand mystical dragons gathered here today. Whether it was the Royal Palace or the mystical dragons from the North, South, East, West and North Prefectures, they all poured into this place. Everyone was most concerned about which grade of blood essence Jiang Zi's son, Kang Shin-mu, would obtain today.
This would affect the future of the entire Jiang tribe!
"Has Kang Shin-mu come out yet?"
After this sentence, everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction of the Royal Palace. On that road, the figure of a youth wearing thin black clothes slowly appeared in front of everyone.
Dragon King's Sacrificial Altar, Kang Shin-mu had arrived.
Immediately, everyone held their breath and stared. Many people stared at Kang Shin-mu's figure. There were all kinds of gazes, but most of them were envy and jealousy. Who asked him to be the son of the Jiang tribe's Dragons' patriarch?
When Kang Shin-mu appeared, all kinds of voices sounded in the field.
Someone said, "This Kang Shin-mu is only fifteen years old, yet he can break through the ninth tier of the Martial Realm and reach the Ascending Dragon Realm. With such talent, it seems that he must obtain the Sky Dragon's Blood Essence today."
Someone else said, "If he obtains the Sky Dragon's Blood Essence, he will be the next Jiang Zi. Although Jiang Zi has been missing for ten years, with this Kang Shin-mu here, the Royal Palace will still be the leader of our Jiang tribe."
Someone else said, "That's not necessarily true. Although the Sky Dragon's Blood Essence is rare, this time, there are also talented people in the other four prefectures. For example, there is a girl in the North Prefecture. She is now twenty years old and has also reached the Ascending Dragon Realm."
Someone else said, "Are you talking about Jiang Liuxue, the daughter of the North Prefecture's Lord?
This time, many people say that she will definitely obtain the Sky Dragon's Blood Essence. If it is true, then the North Prefecture will be qualified to compete with the Royal Palace! "
The Competition of the Five Prefectures had existed since ancient times.
Only through competition could one improve. In order to make the entire Jiang tribe stronger, the Competition of the Five Prefectures became a tradition of the Jiang tribe.
As Kang Shin-mu walked towards the Dragon King Altar, people constantly pointed at him.
However, no one openly provoked him. After all, he was still the son of the tribe's patriarch, and a genius who had reached the Ascending Dragon Realm at the age of fifteen.
No matter what people said, Kang Shin-mu pretended not to hear them. His expression was cold. Because of the pressure on his back, he had always been a man of few words in front of others. Even if someone really provoked him, he didn't like to respond.
A total of more than a hundred young men stood at the edge of the Dragon King's Altar and gazed at the Coiling Dragon Pillar in the distance. Their eyes flashed with anticipation.
They were the young geniuses of the Jiang tribe who had stepped into the Ascending Dragon Realm to obtain the Legacy Blood Essence in order to transform into a dragon!
The youngest among them was, of course, Kang Shin-mu. Apart from Kang Shin-mu, there was also a twenty-year-old girl named Jiang Liuxue. She was the daughter of the North Prefecture's Lord, and could also be said to be brimming with talent.
When Kang Shin-mu arrived, he immediately felt a cold gaze coming from Jiang Liuxue!
Raising his head, Kang Shin-mu looked at Jiang Liuxue. He saw that the girl's eyes were cold, her expression indifferent, and she was proud and aloof like snow. There seemed to be a hint of provocation in her eyes.
"Stepping into the Ascending Dragon Realm at the age of twenty, a little worse than my father?"
Kang Shin-mu thought that this girl must have seen that he had stepped into the Ascending Dragon Realm at the age of fifteen, so she wanted to compare herself with him.
Then, let's wait and see the results of the Dragon Transformation.
