Chapter 50

Shen Changze angrily replied, “I won’t go anywhere with you. I’ll only stay with Dad.”

Shan Ming raised an eyebrow, though his face showed no expression, a hint of a smile was revealed in his eyes.

Tang Tingzhi narrowed his eyes and asked, “Dad? Do you really see him as your dad?”

Shan Ming sarcastically remarked, “If I’m not, then are you?”

Tang Tingzhi looked at them silently for a while and nodded. “I understand. Since we have plenty of time right now, allow me to draw some samples of your blood. After that, I hope you can cooperate with us in conducting some research. We will also provide you with data based on your physical condition and develop training programs for your reference. I believe this is beneficial for both parties.”

This time, the child didn’t seek Shan Ming’s opinion right away but instead directly agreed.

As there were other injured patients in the medical room, Tang Tingzhi directly called his team inside. When those people saw Shen Changze, their eyes lit up uniformly, as if they were eager to dissect him. Shan Ming walked up to them and gave them a fierce glare. The reserved scientists couldn’t withstand such a ferocious gaze and all lowered their heads.

They arranged a row of intricate instruments, some requiring two special forces soldiers to carry in. It took them quite a while to assemble everything, who knows how they brought it over. After finally setting everything up, they had Shen Changze lie on the bed, and then they began surrounding him, attaching various peculiar devices to his body. They drew blood, conducted tests, and collected data. The modest room had transformed into a miniature research laboratory.

“And his horns, his horns! What a pity we didn’t bring the equipment to test its impact force.”

“The dragon wings have already grown this big. Once he reaches adulthood, he’ll definitely be able to fly. It’s incredible, too incredible.”

The child finally erupted in anger, shouting, “Stop touching me all over my body!”

These people had completely fallen into a state of frenzy, as if they haven’t heard the child’s outcry. They continued with their blood sampling and specimen collection, even cutting off a small piece of his nail.

Tang Tingzhi took out a pair of forceps, more accurately described as an improved version of tweezers. The tips were flat as he touched the child’s scales. “I need a piece of your scale. It might hurt. Can you endure it for a moment? It will grow back quickly.”

The child glanced at the forceps in Tang Tingzhi’s hand and said, “I want both the medication you injected me with earlier and the drug that prevents me from losing consciousness after transforming.”

Tang Tingzhi pushed his glasses up and nodded, “No problem.” As soon as he finished speaking, he swiftly inserted the flat-tipped forceps into the scale and pulled forcefully.

Shen Changze let out a loud cry, and sweat immediately started pouring down. The pain caused his entire body to tremble.

Shan Ming jumped up abruptly and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by two special forces soldiers with their guns raised.

Shan Ming had already drawn his military knife with one hand, swiftly placing it across the neck of one of them. The blade had already cut that person’s skin.

Tang Tingzhi looked at the blood-stained scale without expression and said to Shan Ming, “He has already agreed.” After speaking, he ignored Shan Ming and placed the scale in a glass container, starting to prepare for the experiment.

The child widened his eyes and took several deep breaths. He hadn’t expected such intense pain could exist in the world. It must be similar to the sensation of being flayed alive. The pain was searing, reaching deep into his bones. The wound was visibly healing at a rapid pace, but the pain persisted and showed no signs of subsiding.

Shan Ming glared fiercely at Tang Tingzhi’s back and sheathed his knife. He pushed aside the two people blocking his way and walked up to the child. Looking at the four or five-centimeter-long wound, he recalled the mythical stories he had read in his childhood about the terrifying torture method of extracting dragon scales and tendons. From the child’s agonizing scream just now, he knew how much pain he was experiencing.

The child held Shan Ming’s hand and said, “Dad, it’s okay. It’s starting to heal.”

Shan Ming touched the child’s forehead and, out of curiosity, reached out to play with the dragon horn that was nearby. The surface of the horn felt somewhat fuzzy, giving the impression of being soft, but it was actually very hard. Its shape was difficult to describe, somewhat resembling coral. It looked quite majestic, and Shan Ming couldn’t resist touching it a few more times.

The child started to feel a slight itch, and then he noticed his body becoming warmer. It felt as if an electric current was passing from Shan Ming’s hand into his body. Unable to control himself, he let out an “Mn” sound and instinctively nudged the horns into Shan Ming’s palm.

Shan Ming was stunned.

Tang Tingzhi paused for a moment, turned his head, adjusted his glasses, and calmly explained, “The horns and tail are sensitive areas for Dragon Blood Kins. Touching them can trigger sexual stimulation.”

Shan Ming awkwardly withdrew his hand, and the child’s face also turned red with embarrassment.

Tang Tingzhi turned back around and continued studying the dragon scale, he said, “Although the scales are excellent armor, they are also the Dragon Blood Kins’ greatest weakness. Once the scales are damaged, it brings immense pain. Furthermore, those who know the weakness of the Dragon Blood Kins will try to find a way to thrust sharp objects from underneath the scales into their flesh, causing significant harm. The healing process for the damaged scales is also relatively slow. In short, you must be cautious of this during battles. The reason I pulled it directly was to give you this experience now, rather than allowing you to experience this pain from enemies in the future.”

Shan Ming really had a real impulse to kill him now.

Tang Tingzhi continued speaking to himself, “Of course, it’s difficult for someone to stab a knife into your body, especially after you reach adulthood. After reaching adulthood, your abilities will improve by at least 70%, even without any enhancements. You will become a true superhuman. Right now, you can only show off among humans, you can’t even defeat William House, he has more extensive combat experience than you and knows how to leverage the advantages of Dragon Blood. You possess perfect genes but refuse to let us assist you in fully utilizing the pure power of Dragon Blood. It’s truly a pity.”

Shen Changze coldly snorted, “What’s the point of becoming a superhuman?”

“Of course there’s a point. At least, right now, the U.S. military has its eyes on you. The reason House didn’t use force to subdue you last time was that he overestimated your strength. But they will never give up on you so easily. They will monitor your actions at all times, just like us. One day, they will seize the opportunity to bring you under their control. Do you think becoming a superhuman has no meaning? At the very least, it can protect yourself.”

Shan Ming coldly retorted, “Even without you, he can still become stronger. Every mercenary of the Peregrine Falcons is a formidable warrior.”

Tang Tingzhi responded, “I’ll admit to that, but have you ever trained a Dragon Blood Kin?” He turned back again and continued, “I cannot convince you now, and I’m sorry for that. But I can assure you that one day, you will come to me willingly. When you find yourself facing enemies too powerful and feeling too weak, or when you realize you cannot control yourself and end up hurting those around you, you will need my help. Five years ago, I had the opportunity to take you away, but I failed. Now that you have complete memories and emotions, I cannot force you to come back with me. So, I will wait for you to come to me voluntarily. During this time, if you need any assistance, you can contact me anytime.”

After Tang Tingzhi finished speaking, he glanced at his watch. “It will take about two more hours for you to change back to your human form. Now, I need to collect a sample of your semen,” Tang Tingzhi said, looking at Shan Ming and raising an eyebrow. “Would Dad like to excuse himself?”

Shan Ming asked back, “Why do I need to?”

“Dad!” The child grabbed Shan Ming’s hand. “Dad, how… how about you wait for me outside?”

Shan Ming pffted, “What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

The child’s face turned bright red. “Dad, please wait for me outside,” by the end of his sentence, his voice was barely audible.

Shan Ming glanced at him and said, “No, I can turn around, but I won’t leave this room. I won’t let you stay here alone with these crazy people.” With that, he walked to the corner, holding a gun and facing away from them, leaving his rigid silhouette behind for everyone to see.
