Chapter 129: Evolving Again, the Little Dragon Who Can Change Size at Will
Yu Yuanzhen's urging brought the Grand Elder back to his senses.
"Yes, yes, hurry and summon Xiao Long, let us see what it has become."
Under everyone's urging, Yu Xiaogang returned the mirror to Bibi Dong and then circulated his Soul Power.
"Come forth, Xiao Long."
While summoning Xiao Long, Yu Xiaogang was actually quite looking forward to it.
Since he himself had undergone such a huge change, wouldn't Xiao Long's change be earth-shattering?
As it turned out, Yu Xiaogang's guess was correct.
"Roar!!"
With a dragon's roar and a burst of blinding light, Xiao Long's figure appeared before Yu Xiaogang.
"Is this... Xiao Long?"
Looking at the behemoth before him, Yu Yuanzhen was dumbfounded, and the others' expressions were much the same.
Even Yu Xiaogang, who had long prepared for Xiao Long to undergo a massive change, was exceptionally shocked.
After absorbing the third spirit ring, Xiao Long's size had increased further; standing next to it, Yu Xiaogang, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, was only half as tall as Xiao Long.
The increase in size brought about a much stronger body.
At this moment, the Xiao Long before everyone seemed to have instantly shed its youthfulness, growing into a true giant dragon.
Golden dragon scales covered its entire body, and its once very cute appearance had now become one full of majesty.
A pair of eyes that, like Yu Xiaogang's, had turned completely golden gazed at everyone; just meeting those eyes, they felt a wave of pressure wash over them.
The small, jade-like golden horns on its head had enlarged along with its body; looking at them now, they seemed like lethal weapons.
The dragon wings were not spread, but any observant person could see that once they did, it would surely be a sight that blocked out the sky and sun.
"Roar!"
A majestic dragon's roar sounded in everyone's ears. Xiao Long looked at the people before it, who had become much shorter, tilted its head in confusion, glanced around, and finally lowered its head to Yu Xiaogang.
Looking at the approaching Xiao Long, Yu Xiaogang raised his hand and stroked its head.
At this time, Xiao Long's size was already comparable to a large truck, and that was without it spreading the wings on its back.
If it were to spread its wings, even Yu Xiaogang wouldn't know exactly how massive Xiao Long would be.
This change was so sudden that Yu Xiaogang was completely unprepared.
Looking at Xiao Long, who not long ago was the same size as him but was now large enough for him to roll around on its back, Yu Xiaogang felt a bit conflicted.
As expected, it would be impossible to interact with Xiao Long like before.
However, to Yu Xiaogang's surprise, as if sensing the disappointment in his heart, a smile curled at the corner of Xiao Long's mouth.
Immediately after, Xiao Long's body turned into a beam of light that kept shrinking, finally becoming the size it was after attaching the first spirit ring.
"Awoo!!"
The shrunken Xiao Long let out a milky cry, just like when Yu Xiaogang first obtained the first spirit ring, and then lunged into his arms.
"This..."
Catching the Xiao Long that lunged into his arms, Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.
It can actually do this?
Beside him, Yu Yuanzhen and the others were also extremely surprised by Xiao Long's change.
For a Martial Soul to be able to revert to its pre-evolution form after evolving was truly a rarity.
"So cute!"
But unlike Yu Yuanzhen and the others' amazement at Xiao Long's ability to change size, Bibi Dong's focus was on its cute appearance.
When she first met Xiao Long, it was already about the same size as her.
Even so, Bibi Dong still got along very well with Xiao Long.
Now learning that Xiao Long could actually turn into this form, Bibi Dong's heart immediately began to stir.
She really wanted to pull Xiao Long into her arms and dote on it.
Xiao Long, who was happily acting spoiled in Yu Xiaogang's arms, seemed to sense that someone was harboring ill intentions toward it; it shuddered and huddled even closer into Yu Xiaogang's embrace.
Since Yu Xiaogang absorbed the second spirit ring and it grew larger, it hadn't done something like burrowing into Yu Xiaogang's arms for a long time.
It was still a baby, after all, and needed care and affection the most.
Yu Xiaogang felt Xiao Long's closeness to him and was also very happy in his heart.
Xiao Long wanted to be close to him, and he felt the same; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so disappointed earlier.
And now, Xiao Long's ability to change size at will made Yu Xiaogang very happy.
Because this meant that no matter how Xiao Long evolved in the future, it could always be that original Xiao Long when they were together.
"Xiao Long... speaking of which, with how you looked just now, it wouldn't be very appropriate to keep calling you Xiao Long, would it?"
"Roar! ヽ(≧□≦)ノ"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Xiao Long immediately shook its head. The name Xiao Long was given to it by Yu Xiaogang and represented their initial connection, so it was unwilling to give it up.
Sensing Xiao Long's thoughts, Yu Xiaogang smiled.
"Alright then, I've also gotten used to calling you that, and I wouldn't be comfortable suddenly changing the name."
"But when we're out and about, you should have a more formal and resounding title."
"Like during a Spirit Fighting match, you make a grand entrance with maximum style, and then the announcer introduces you as 'Xiao Long'—hahaha, no matter how much style you have, it would all vanish."
Yu Xiaogang said with a laugh.
Imagining the scene Yu Xiaogang described, Xiao Long instantly clenched its claws, feeling like it wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
"Awoo o(>﹏<)o"
Thinking about it that way, it really did need a resounding title for when they were out.
"Okay, since you think so too, I'll think of a better-sounding name for you."
Yu Xiaogang began to ponder, while Yu Yuanzhen and the others also gathered around to help him come up with ideas.
"Since Xiao Long is such a unique existence, how about calling it the Unique Dragon?"
"What kind of strange name is that? It should express Xiao Long's characteristics. Your name just says it's unique, but unique in what way?"
"I think since Xiao Long's attribute is the Light Attribute, why not call it the Light Dragon?"
"No, it's not resounding enough. Look at the famous Martial Souls on the continent: Clear Sky Hammer, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Which one of those doesn't sound extraordinary just by the name?"
"I actually think there's no need to decide on a final title right now. Who knows if Xiao Long will evolve again in the future?"
"...True. Let's give it a nice-sounding name for now, and then when Xiaogang gets stronger or it evolves again, we can think of a more suitable name."
"It has the Light Attribute, and the Soul Beast for the third spirit ring was a Radiant Elemental Dragon. With Xiao Long's current size, it can certainly be called a giant dragon."
"So, how about calling it the Radiant Giant Dragon for now?"
"That name sounds pretty good, much better than that 'Unique Dragon' thing. I feel like you were just trying to cause trouble with that name."
"So, Xiaogang, what do you think?"
Everyone turned their gaze toward Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Anyway, this title is for outsiders; as long as it's passable, it's fine.
"Alright then, let's call it the Radiant Giant Dragon for now."
