[An equal contract, huh?] Gazing quietly at the figure within the firestorm, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled up slightly.

Yu Zi Yu could not help but admire the gals of Haposs. He was really surprised by the fact that Haposs actually bowed his prideful head and signed a contract with a Human.

Although Dragon Knights were renowned in the previous era, it was because the Human Race was really powerful, so powerful that they even enslaved Divine Spirits. It was not difficult for them to command Dragons.

According to Golden Monkey, there was indeed a very powerful Dragon Knight in the previous era, half a step into Eternal Realm.

A Human and a Dragon had pushed the profession of ‘Dragon Knight’ to the pinnacle of all professions. However, at the end of the day, signing a contract with a relatively weak Human was still a disgrace to the Dragon Race. Moreover, the contract being signed was a Soul Contract.

Observing the transformation of the Human and Dragon duo, Yu Zi Yu fell into a rare moment of contemplation.

After a moment, as if struck by an idea, Yu Zi Yu muttered to himself, “I haven’t used this yet. There’s no harm in using it today.”

With that, Yu Zi Yu’s branch wrapped around something, slowly climbing up a metallic, silver-gray glowing thing.

At that moment, the silver-gray metallic colour began to climb over the branch, as if the branch was losing life. However, from afar, the branch appeared incredibly hard.

This was the power of the Steel Element Heart, a treasure of the Steel Elementals of the Forbidden Zone — Steel World.

Although that Steel Elemental was just a Tier-3 Transcendent, the Steel Element Heart was extraordinary. Even in the previous era, it was the Supreme Treasure of the Elemental Clan.

This treasure was spinning along with his Tree Heart, a treasure brimming with boundless vitality, much like Tai Chi within Yu Zi Yu.

Metal, cold and hard, represented ‘death,’ whereas the Tree Heart, teeming with vitality, with the power to give birth to endless miracles, represented ‘life.’

One ‘death’ and one ‘life,’ complemented each other. As they spun continuously, they gradually grew.

Until today, both the Steel Element Heart and Tree Heart had significantly improved, reaching Tier-4, even nearing Tier-5.

The Tree Heart, needless to say, was Yu Zi Yu’s cultivated treasure, akin to a second life.

Not only could it revive the dead, but it could also bring the deceased back from death.

Of course, such a forbidden power had many limitations. For instance, the dead cannot have been dead for more than three days, and their Soul must not have dispersed. Additionally, it could only currently revive beings of Tier-4 or lower. Furthermore, after successfully bringing the deceased back, the Tree Heart’s effectiveness would greatly diminish, requiring a long time to recover, and in some cases, it might never fully recover.

Even with all the restrictions, the Tree Heart’s ‘Heaven-defying’ nature remained unchanged. There was no denying that as a Divine Tree, Yu Zi Yu’s ability to cultivate a Supreme Treasure like that was indeed remarkable.

The Steel Element Heart, as another of Yu Zi Yu’s Supreme Treasures, was no less impressive. Just being able to bestow metallic properties on others spoke to its formidable power.

Just like now…

*Crack…* The silver-gray metallic-textured branch lightly poked the space, shattering the space. At the same time, with a *whoosh*, the branch pierced through the air, descending from above and into the depths of the firestorm.

*Drip…* As a drop of silver-gray liquid from the branch fell onto the head of the Humanoid figure, both Long Shao and Haposs were startled.

They felt their newly formed Dragon Scales undergoing another round of transformation. The blood-like ‘vivid red’ Dragon Scales suddenly dimmed to a dark ‘crimson.’

This simple change in colour dramatically improved the quality of the Dragon Scales.

What was even more astonishing was that the Dragon Scales seemed to be reassembling, constantly transforming and interlocking with each other, finding the most suitable form.

At that moment, a majestic and profound voice suddenly resonated in their minds, “Focus your mind, and shape the Dragon Scales into the most suitable form within your heart.”

Yu Zi Yu’s voice added, “Donning Dragon Scales and becoming a monster is ultimately not aesthetically pleasing. Today, I grant you Metalization; henceforth, your Dragon Scales will be metallic, like armor, and you can change them freely. If you wish, you might even cultivate them further… there’s a slim chance they might reach Divine Metal quality.”

“Uh…” Hearing this voice, both Long Shao and Haposs were at a loss for words. The voice was so profound that it left them in awe.

After a moment, as if realizing something, Haposs spoke with reverence, “Divine Tree?”

“Probably.” Long Shao nodded slightly in agreement.

Only the Divine Tree could possess such power, that even a Dragon was thoroughly suppressed. Only a Divine Tree would have such means to significantly enhance the quality of Dragon Scales.

“Thank you for the blessing, Divine Tree.” Without hesitation and any delay, both Long Shao and Haposs thanked in unison.

Soon, realizing this might be a genuine grand opportunity, both the Dragon and the Human closed their eyes and focused their minds.

Not long after, as if comprehending Yu Zi Yu’s intent,

*Boom, boom, boom…* With the surge of Spiritual Energy, the crimson Dragon Scales fluttered into the air before enveloping them like countless butterflies. At the same time, numerous Dragon Scales gradually reassembled into a cold crimson armor, appearing before them.

*Whoosh…* Suddenly, as a gust of wind blew past, tongues of flames could be seen flickering around the crimson armor.

Inferno Dragon Scale Armor—it was the name given by Long Shao. It had not become his Natal Armor. He and armor were one and the same, growing with him.

This was a genuine grand opportunity, an extraordinary opportunity.

Looking at the crimson armor floating in the air, cold yet aflame, both Long Shao and Haposs saw it as a beacon of hope, their eyes shining brightly.
