“Yes!”
After receiving the order, the two Dragon Palace members quickly departed.
Little Green Dragon transformed into human form and landed in front of Lin Yun.
“How did it go, Little Green Dragon? Did you succeed?”
Before Little Green Dragon could speak, Lin Yun eagerly asked the question.
It was clear that Lin Yun was more anxious than anyone, desperate to know immediately.
“I did it! Your boy has successfully reached ten claws!” Little Green Dragon said with a beaming smile.
“You succeeded? Haha, that’s fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!”
Although Lin Yun had already guessed Little Green Dragon’s success, hearing the confirmation, he couldn’t contain his overwhelming joy, almost bursting with excitement.
“You rascal, I’m the one who broke through to ten claws, so why are you happier than me?” Little Green Dragon rolled his eyes.
“Nonsense! You’re now the true number one of the dragon clan. How could I not be thrilled? You’re at the level of the Dragon Emperor now!” Lin Yun punched Little Green Dragon’s chest in excitement.
“Hehe, I owe it to you, you rascal. Without your help, I’d probably still be stuck at seven or eight claws,” Little Green Dragon said with a cheeky grin.
“Little Green Dragon, now that you’ve reached ten claws, what’s your next plan?” Lin Yun asked eagerly.
“First, I’ll announce this to the elders of the West Sea Dragon Palace. Then, it’s time to reunite the entire dragon clan,” Little Green Dragon said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
“Good!” Lin Yun nodded in agreement.
When Lin Yun last visited the Dragon Palace, he and Little Green Dragon had discussed that upon reaching ten claws, they would announce to the other three Dragon Palaces that Little Green Dragon had received the Dragon Emperor’s inheritance and was the Dragon Emperor’s successor.
“You rascal, let’s go to the council hall.”
With that, Little Green Dragon led Lin Yun straight to the West Sea Dragon Palace’s council hall.
Inside the council hall, Little Green Dragon and Lin Yun took their seats and waited.
During the wait, Lin Yun chatted with Little Green Dragon about the Divine Dragon Pearl.
The Divine Dragon Pearl not only enhanced bloodlines but also played a role in combat.
However, it had to remain in Little Green Dragon’s body, as removing it could cause his bloodline to gradually regress to first-grade.
Soon, the ten elders of the West Sea Dragon Palace began arriving.
Before long, all the elders were present.
“Dragon King, why have you urgently summoned us? What’s the matter?” the Grand Elder of the West Sea Dragon Palace, seated in the front row, asked.
The other elders also looked at Little Green Dragon, curious about the sudden summons.
Little Green Dragon stood up.
“Elders, I called you here urgently to share great news. My realm has successfully reached ten claws!” His booming voice echoed through the council hall.
“What? Ten claws?!”
The elders of the Dragon Palace were utterly shocked by his words, as if struck by thunder.
“Dragon King, you’re not joking with us, are you? Have you really reached ten claws?” the Grand Elder asked in disbelief.
The other elders shared the same incredulous expressions.
The Second Elder of the West Sea Dragon Palace added, “Dragon King, reaching ten claws requires an exceptional bloodline, but yours is first-grade. How is this possible?”
“Regarding my bloodline, I received the Dragon Emperor’s inheritance and obtained the Divine Dragon Pearl. The Dragon Emperor instructed me to keep this secret, so I never disclosed it to you,” Little Green Dragon said with a smile.
At this, the elders erupted in astonishment.
“So that’s it! The Dragon Emperor’s inheritance went to you, Dragon King! Haha, who would’ve thought? I always assumed it was the East Sea Dragon King!” the Grand Elder laughed heartily.
“Dragon King, you hid it so well, especially during the last time at the Hidden Dragon Abyss. Your performance fooled even us!”
“Haha, yes, we were so worried!”
The elders chattered excitedly, their faces alight with joy.
Now that they knew Little Green Dragon had received the Dragon Emperor’s inheritance, their hearts were completely at ease.
“By the way, Dragon King, even with the Divine Dragon Pearl to enhance your bloodline to ten claws, reaching that level takes an immense amount of time,” the Grand Elder said, puzzled.
“Well, that’s thanks to my brother Lin Yun. As you know, I owe my breakthroughs to eight and nine claws to him as well. Otherwise, it would’ve taken me ages!” Little Green Dragon said with a grin.
With that, he released a powerful aura.
Boom!
A mighty aura surged from Little Green Dragon’s body like a tidal wave, sweeping through the entire council hall.
“What a powerful aura!”
“This must be ten claws, no doubt about it!”
“Haha, the Dragon King has truly reached ten claws! This is fantastic!”
Feeling Little Green Dragon’s aura, the elders of the West Sea Dragon Palace were thrilled beyond measure.
Even the most composed among them couldn’t restrain their excitement, bursting into hearty laughter.
They knew full well what Little Green Dragon reaching ten claws meant.
It meant he was now the most powerful being in the dragon clan, unmatched by anyone.
This strength wasn’t just enough to restore the West Sea Dragon Palace to its former glory; it could reshape the entire dragon clan’s structure.
“Dragon King, when you returned to the West Sea Dragon Palace, and we supported you, it was the wisest decision we ever made!” the Grand Elder said with a smile.
“Absolutely!” the other elders nodded in agreement.
When Little Green Dragon had reconstructed his body and returned to the dragon clan to reclaim his bloodline and everything that was his, the support of these elders had been crucial.
Of course, not all elders had supported him from the start. Some were in favour, some opposed, and many remained neutral.
Those who opposed were mostly eliminated, and as Little Green Dragon gradually secured his position, the neutral elders fully sided with him.
Regardless, it was now clear that choosing Little Green Dragon as the West Sea Dragon King was the right decision.
“I couldn’t have reached ten claws so smoothly without Lin Yun. His contributions to our West Sea Dragon Palace are indelible!” Little Green Dragon said.
“Elder Lin Yun has indeed made great contributions to our Dragon Palace. We will all remember his merits!” the Grand Elder declared.
“Absolutely!” the other elders nodded in agreement.
