Max only gave a wry smile.
Truthfully, even he had not expected such an outcome.
After devouring the corpse of the ancient black dragon, he had assumed nearly all of the absorbed essence would be used to refine his bloodline and push the Black Dragon Chaotic Bloodline to its highest stage.
Instead, after the bloodline completed its transformation, the remaining power had surged through his body and raised his cultivation from the fifth level of the Law Awakening Realm straight to the eighth.
Even now, when he thought about it, the gains were absurd.
Lucia watched his expression and narrowed her eyes slightly.
There was something suspicious about the whole matter.
She knew Max had gone into Dragon Death Valley and returned stronger, but the extent of that growth was too unreasonable. Three levels at his stage, along with the deepened aura he now carried, clearly meant he had gained far more than he admitted.
Still, she did not press him.
