    Chapter 42

    Several weeks later, Shan Ming received an anonymous email. Upon opening it, he discovered that it was from Captain House, containing numerous files. Most of the contents were related to helping Shen Changze control his Dragon Blood genes.

    As Shan Ming read through one of the files, his frown deepened with each passing moment. The document outlined a plan to control Shen Changze, ensuring that he wouldn’t harm others, followed by the use of stimulants. The steps, methods, and precautions were incredibly complex, involving rare medical equipment, drugs, and advanced medical and research skills, none of which Shan Ming possessed. Isn’t this total bullshit?

    He closed the file before he finished reading it, thinking he might as well handle things according to his own approach.

    Isn’t it just about making him transform? Shan Ming thought there were many ways to do so. For example, he could suffocate him, make him bleed, or throw him into a den of wild beasts. As long as the child felt his life was being threatened, he would transform. Once the transformation occurred, Shan Ming could attempt to train him, make him maintain his state, or at least teach him how to control his emotions and actions.

    If the child knew what his dad was thinking, he might just run away from fright.

    Shan Ming proceeded to open the other files, some of which contained information about the Sea Dragon and data analysis regarding Dragon Blood. Among them, he found the research on the physical characteristics of Dragon Blood Kins most intriguing. This section included details such as the pH level of the blood, scale hardness, wing span and carrying capacity, tail whip strength, claw penetration ability, and the impact force of horns, etc. It could be considered a comprehensive manual of Dragon Blood Kin functions.

    Of course, these contents cleverly avoided revealing their classified information, yet still enough to astonish anyone who read them.

    After skimming through these materials, Shan Ming was practically drenched in a cold sweat.

    “You? Defeat me? What’s so impressive about defeating me after turning into a monster? With your current state, you still have a long way to go.”

    “Sooner or later, I’ll defeat you even without transforming into a monster.”

    “Unless I become too old to walk, don’t even dream about it.”

    The child was unwilling to yield, “I will definitely defeat you! And when that day comes, you’ll have to listen to me!”

    Shan Ming snorted contemptuously, “There’s no such day.

    “There will be,” the child said firmly. “Dad, sooner or later, you won’t be able to match me. If I defeat you, you’ll have to listen to me. Are you willing to bet on it?”

    “Heh, you little brat,” Shan Ming smacked his head. “You talk big for someone so small. What makes you think you could be my match? When I was ten years old, I was already fighting guerrilla battles in Africa. Your upbringing is far more comfortable than mine ever was.”

    “Hmph, since Dad is too cowardly to make a bet, never mind then,” the child narrowed his eyes and pouted, looking at him intently.

    Shan Ming found him being like this quite amusing, he pinched the child’s face until it turned red. “Trying to provoke me? Fine, I’ll give you what you want, if one day you can defeat me in your human form, I’ll listen to you once.”

    The child grinned with satisfaction.

    Curious, Shan Ming asked, “What do you want me to do? Let me hear it.”

    “I need to think about it carefully, but one thing’s for sure… It will be something unforgettable for you, and you won’t dare to bully me again in the future.”

    Shan Ming pffted, “Lil Tooth Gap, just look at the way you’re smiling.”

    The child quickly covered his mouth and angrily jabbed back, “They will grow in soon, and you’re not allowed to laugh at me anymore!”

    Shan Ming heartlessly burst into laughter without restraint.

    After returning to the base, Shan Ming took another two months to recover. Once he was fully healed, he decided to start training Shen Changze.

    He brought Shen Changze to the underground facility of the base, a secluded interrogation room.

    The interrogation room was originally prepared for detaining prisoners, but since its construction, they had never needed to use it. As a result, it remained unused. Now it provided a spacious and well-soundproofed hidden space for the two of them. To their advantage, there were also some restraints available for restraining individuals, making it the perfect setting for their training sessions.

    Without hesitation, Shan Ming entered the room and proceeded to restrain the child’s hands and feet with iron shackles and chains.

    The two sat cross-legged, then followed some of the methods mentioned by Captain House in the documents, attempting to awaken the child’s Dragon Blood gene from his subconscious mind.

    Shen Changze closed his eyes. Initially, he struggled to focus his concentration. His mind would wander and he found himself thinking about random things. Occasionally, he would even open his eyes to observe what Shan Ming was doing.

    Gradually, Shen Changze started to sense an unusual silence in the surroundings. It was so quiet that he could almost hear the heartbeat of the other person. He knew that even if he felt restless and wanted to escape, he had to do something. The uncontrollable power was flowing through his veins, and he had to either control that power or be controlled by it. The latter was definitely not an option.

    His heart gradually calmed down, and he began to recall the sensation of being filled with immense power that day.

    He remembered that at that moment, when he saw his dad getting hurt and realized that both of them were going to die there. He was filled with anger, fear, and confusion. Then, he felt his body growing hotter, as if it was on fire. His vision turned blood-red, and suddenly, he sensed an immense surge of power rushing through his body. He felt that the people around him were insignificant, unable to withstand even a single blow. It seemed effortless for him to snap their necks or pierce their hearts.

    At that moment, he thought that he wanted to kill those people, he wanted to escape safely from this place with his dad, he wanted to kill those people who wanted to kill them!

    The anger and despair from that moment came rushing back to him. He recalled how those people had pursued him relentlessly, shooting at him, ramming their cars into him, and finally trapping him and Shan Ming in an automotive repair factory. They were unarmed, outnumbered, and their bodies were covered in injuries…

    His dad lay there, covered in blood, seemingly on the brink of death. No! You can’t die! Dad, you can’t die! I need to escape, I need to take you away from here. I will kill every single one of these bastards who dared to hurt you!

    Shen Changze abruptly opened his eyes, his pupils gleaming with a flickering light that oscillated between black and red. He had an eerie and otherworldly appearance. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his tightly clenched fist emitted cracking sounds.

    Shan Ming also opened his eyes and nervously watched Shen Changze. When he sensed that something was off with him, he quickly called out his name.

    However, the child’s gaze grew increasingly frantic. Suddenly, he raised his neck and let out a furious howl, while faint traces of pale gold appeared on his skin.

    Shan Ming immediately pounced on him and delivered a couple of slaps to his face, trying to snap him out of it. “Wake up!”

    After a few slaps, the child’s gaze regained clarity. He took deep breaths, panting heavily, and collapsed onto the ground, appearing utterly exhausted.

    Shan Ming, also drenched in sweat, said, “Did you forget what House said? Don’t let anger trigger your transformation. It’s just you and me in this room, and no one knows we’re here. If you go berserk and bite me to death, who the hell am I supposed to reason with?”

    The child’s voice trembled as he spoke, “Dad, it feels awful… I don’t know what happened, but thinking about the day you got hurt made me so angry. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and the less control I had over myself, and then… Dad, what if I really hurt you? Should we still be doing such dangerous things?”

    “Of course, otherwise you’ll never learn to control yourself. You’re just like a ticking time bomb, if you don’t sort yourself out, you might bring disaster upon us at any moment. So you must learn to control yourself, ideally like House does, being able to freely transform between human and Dragon Blood Kin forms while maintaining your sanity.”

    The child nodded and said, “I understand, but I don’t know how long it will take.”

    Shan Ming patted his face and said, “No matter how long it takes, I’ll be there to help you.”

    Shan Ming’s casual remark unintentionally warmed the child’s heart. In the child’s eyes, Shan Ming was the strongest and most formidable man in the world. With a dad like him by his side, no matter what challenges he had to face, he wouldn’t be afraid. As long as he was together with his dad…
