"Actually, you're already dead."
When Li Hao, out of a sense of shared misery, said this to Meng Yao.
He suddenly realized he had "Awakened."
This "Awakening" was not only a psychological change but a kind of physical and material mutation.
It seemed to have happened because of his interference with something going on with Meng Yao.
Certain traits of the Candle Dragon that Li Hao devoured began to affect his very existence.
The most obvious change was that Li Hao now possessed a personal panel that only he could see.
...

...
This was an attribute panel filled with as many points of contention as there was information.
Had he become a Demigod?
Or had he inherited the abilities and identity of the Candle Dragon?
Luckily, the superpower that allowed him to hear inner thoughts, to some extent, had strengthened Li Hao's ability to accept this, and he quickly began to study this panel, which only he could see, with great interest.
After a careful study, Li Hao discovered that this came from the [Mythical Ability] entry of [Dragon Race Inheritance].
Although it seems that in mythology and various game settings, the Dragon Race supposedly gains knowledge through sleep.
However, in Li Hao's case, something unexpected occurred.
This led to [Dragon Race Inheritance] manifesting in a simple yet brutally fitting manner for Li Hao's understanding.
Simply put, Li Hao's subconscious used the database from [Dragon Race Inheritance] to craft a panel for himself.
Setting aside why, after living two lifetimes, he was abruptly ousted from human identity by [Dragon Race Inheritance].
Just focusing on personal attributes, isn't having all attributes at 20 somehow too average?
"There are just too many issues, I can't even manage to complain about them all at once."
He looked oddly at his attribute panel.
Li Hao tried pressing his hand against the tabletop, and surprisingly, he left a visible fingerprint on the table.
Such terrifying power and intricate control had already reached a non-human level.
Before this, even though Li Hao possessed the power and speed associated with [Immortal Body], it was still within the realm of human understanding.
But after "Awakening" this attribute panel, it seemed to signify that he was about to step into an unknown realm invisible to ordinary people.
More importantly, the changes the attribute panel brought to Li Hao were far more than just that.
"These attribute points... Can they actually be adjusted freely?"
Attempting to focus his attention on the attribute section of the panel.
Li Hao was astonished to see his Power decrease from 20 to 19, and a new unallocated attribute point appeared below the attribute section.
Therefore, when Li Hao chose to allocate this unallocated attribute point to Agility, the value in the Agility section immediately changed to [20~∞].
It wasn't just a simple change in numbers.
Along with these numerical changes were specific changes in Li Hao's physical condition.
His blood circulation sped up...
His skeletal structure became more lightweight...
His heart grew stronger and more powerful...
Even the activity of his cells visibly intensified...
In just a few breaths, Li Hao's body displayed a microcosm of millions of years of human evolution.
Power, Agility, Constitution, Intelligence, Perception, Charm...
Aside from the fixed Fortune value of 5 as a hidden attribute that couldn't be changed.
Every time Li Hao altered his attribute values, it led to a comprehensive evolution of his being, from the microscopic to the macroscopic.
The attribute value of 20 in all attributes represented the limit of humanity and the limits observable by [Dragon Race Inheritance], but it was not Li Hao's limit.
[What if I set an attribute value to zero?]
The moment such a thought crossed Li Hao's mind, he instinctively felt a shiver and a dread emanating from his body.
Obviously, even setting an attribute value to zero was out of the question.
Even lowering it to a certain value could be extremely dangerous for humans.
This realization made Li Hao understand why the Candle Dragon took an interest in him.
A Fortune value of 5, plus the [Innate Misfortune] entry under [Mythical Ability]...
Li Hao had a feeling that no matter what kind of misfortune befell him next, it would no longer come as a surprise.
Aside from the abnormality in attributes, the other content on Li Hao's panel was also full of incongruities.
The [Immortal Body] marked with a question mark, the inexplicable profession of [Primordial Prophet]...
Li Hao had an entire day ahead of him to slowly research the changes brought on by this panel.
Li Hao's intuition told him that this attribute panel from [Dragon Race Inheritance] was the least significant of the numerous changes occurring in his body.
[What would happen if I combined this attribute panel with the ability to hear other people's inner voices?]
A sense of curiosity and urge quietly arose in his heart.
Li Hao hesitated and surveyed the surroundings before finally fixing his gaze on the top student, Meng Yao, with whom he'd recently conversed.
Regarding this classmate with a similar experience, Li Hao instinctively wanted to know more about what had happened to her.
This desire wasn't driven by any adolescent impulses, but purely by Li Hao's habit of being prepared for every contingency.
Therefore, when Li Hao attempted to actively use the abilities from [Dragon Race Inheritance] to observe and summarize Meng Yao, a similar personal panel suddenly appeared in his view.
