"System, grant me the Kryptonian Bloodline."
Faced with the opportunity to become overpowered, Shen Mu didn't hesitate and immediately began the fusion.
Although he now possessed the identity of a giant dragon, Shen Mu had not inherited any memories and knew nothing about his growth path.
At least after fusing the Kryptonian Bloodline, he knew that as long as he kept basking in the Sun, he would be fine!
As Shen Mu finished speaking, the cluster of blood immediately shot towards his heart.
"Boom!"
In an instant, Shen Mu's heart erupted like a volcano.
The Kryptonian Bloodline and his original Dragon Bloodline began to intertwine and fuse, ultimately giving birth to a new bloodline that combined the advantages of both.
During this fusion process, although the two bloodlines clashed intensely, Shen Mu did not feel any pain.
He only felt his heart pounding violently, the thumping sound clearly audible.
And this new bloodline power began to rapidly transform Shen Mu's original giant dragon heart.
Making the heart's beats more resilient and powerful.
Then, each new heartbeat produced blood that was also of this entirely new bloodline.
Shen Mu enjoyed this process.
However, the next moment, Shen Mu suddenly felt a swelling sensation in his body.
The blood flowed faster and faster, seemingly about to burst out of his body.
That was the original blood in his body, which was now about to be replaced by the new blood.
Shen Mu's body began to bloat, and the newly formed scales were stretched, starting to detach from his body.
"Oh my god, it hurts!"
All the pain he hadn't experienced during the bloodline fusion now came rushing in.
"Pfft!"
Finally, when Shen Mu's body expanded to its limit, all his scales burst open.
Crimson blood splattered out.
At the same time, Shen Mu also spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
The aura of his entire body instantly withered.
At this moment, Shen Mu was filled with regret, realizing that in his excitement, he had forgotten that he should have fused the bloodline under the sunlight.
Looking at the light-filled cave entrance outside, Shen Mu endured the pain and crawled outwards.
A long trail of blood was dragged across the ground.
With every step he crawled, the friction between the ground and his tender flesh caused Shen Mu to wince in pain.
Fortunately, it was not unbearable.
Finally, as he neared the cave entrance, Shen Mu felt as if he could already smell the Sun.
His hind legs pushed off impatiently, and his entire body shot forward.
Immediately, his blood-soaked body was fully exposed to the Sun's rays.
Shen Mu could clearly feel a warm energy surging into his body.
And every cell in his body, like a dry sponge encountering Water, greedily absorbed this energy.
Undergoing the transformation brought by the yellow Sun.
An unprecedented sense of comfort arose from the depths of Shen Mu's heart.
Every cell seemed to cheer, celebrating its rebirth.
Shen Mu closed his eyes and enjoyed the energy brought by the Sun.
Time passed by, minute by minute, as he absorbed more and more solar radiation.
"Hmm!"
The cracks on his flesh gradually began to heal, producing a tingling sensation, like ants crawling across his face.
As his body repaired itself, the shattered scales also began to regrow.
Visibly, these new scales were even harder than the ones that had fallen off before.
Shen Mu instinctively chased the Sun, constantly shifting his body.
As the Sun gradually set and his body had almost fully recovered, Shen Mu suddenly opened his eyes.
A trace of crimson light flashed in his eyes, then disappeared.
He rolled over and stood up.
On all fours, his claws gripped the solid earth.
Shen Mu felt that his body had at least doubled in strength.
This was the power of the Kryptonian Bloodline!
Shen Mu felt that this rapid growth would continue for a long time.
Until the cells in his body reached saturation for the current stage, only then would the growth rate slow down.
In contrast, the Dragon Bloodline might also have high growth potential, but the time required was far too long.
Often hundreds or even thousands of years.
It was simply impossible to grow as rapidly as he was now.
However, time was worthless to long-lived species like giant dragons.
They spent a large portion of their lives in slumber, and their strength would continuously grow with age.
"Roar!"
Shen Mu tilted his head back and let out a long roar, seemingly from the deepest, most primal instinct of his body.
"That was awesome!"
After a still somewhat tender dragon roar, Shen Mu felt completely refreshed and comfortable.
He flapped the wings on his back, still feeling a bit unaccustomed to them.
As for using these wings to fly in the future, Shen Mu had completely dismissed the thought after fusing with the Kryptonian Bloodline.
Because as long as he absorbed enough Sun, he would naturally gain a more powerful way to fly.
Suddenly, Shen Mu seemed to remember something.
He belatedly began to survey his surroundings.
"I was too careless!"
"In such an unfamiliar environment, I had absolutely no defenses."
"Fortunately, no danger appeared, otherwise, it would truly be a case of dying before even starting!"
Shen Mu said, annoyed, as he surveyed the area.
He knew he had made several mistakes in this short period of time.
However, this was understandable, as he had lived in a very peaceful and stable country in his previous life.
Even though he had learned about many dangers online, he had never personally experienced them in his short life of less than thirty years.
Therefore, Shen Mu's vigilance had not been raised immediately.
But now that he had come to his senses, Shen Mu felt he needed to be more careful!
After all, he had just been born, and he hadn't absorbed enough Sun yet, so he didn't have the capital to disregard danger.
Looking around, he saw that the surroundings were barren, with strange, jagged rocks.
The cave behind him looked like it had been crudely carved out with brute force.
Shen Mu thought that this cave might be the dragon's nest created by his body's mother.
However, it was very strange that she was not guarding the cave when her child was about to be born.
But, this was good, otherwise, if it were like the dragons Shen Mu had known from some Western fantasy novels, where one had to speak their true name upon birth, or be considered a lesser dragon beast.
Given Shen Mu's current situation, even with the appearance of a giant dragon, he would most likely be treated as a dragon beast!
So, this situation wasn't too bad.
After inspecting his temporary dwelling place, Shen Mu found no signs of other life forms in the vicinity apart from himself.
As far as the eye could see, there were only towering strange rocks, with very few plants.
"Ah, this! Where am I supposed to find food?!"
Shen Mu was a bit dumbfounded; this desolate place seemed to have nothing edible.
Although absorbing solar radiation could replenish his stamina, his biological instincts were sending hunger commands to his brain.
"So, tonight I need to figure out how to get some food."
"Otherwise, I'll just have to eat these rocks around here!"
"But, I wonder if a giant dragon's stomach acid can digest rocks."
Shen Mu made a joke to himself.
