"Even a monster has a bloodline in this place?" Tang Shaoyang looked up at the red crystal dragon in the air and used [Identification].

[Ruby Dragon (Avatar) - Myth Rank - Level 2911]

He guessed the lizardmen used similar skills to [True Dragon], but it seemed it was different from what he guessed. The word (Avatar) next to the name explained that the one in front of him was not the Ancient Rank Rock Lizardmen anymore, but an avatar of Ruby Dragon. He did not know what avatar meant, but he was glad that the dragon was just level 2911.

Keeper did not stop its attack as it released another charged Dark Energy. However, the black beam met with the red barrier around the dragon. Different from the beforehand red barrier, this red barrier absorbed the black beam. The shot disappeared into the barrier.

The Ruby Dragon did not pay attention to the shot. Its gaze was on Tang Shaoyang; their eyes met. The Ruby Dragon squinted its red eyes. "Why would someone like you enter this kind of tower?" Those were the Ruby Dragon's first words since they came out of the red cloud.

"Why not?" Tang Shaoyang answered the question with a question. The question was weird in the first place. Also, it was not like it was his choice either for Earth to choose the Ancient Rank Tower. But again, why would a dragon he just met judging him as if they knew each other.

"Tch, you are a disgrace to the dragon kinds. Someone like you entered such a weak tower, a total disgrace for a dragon." The Ruby Dragon said in a condescending tone.

Tang Shaoyang just laughed instead of getting angry. "Why would I care about your opinion? Or how do you view me?" He pulled out the Titan Blade. This dragon was not something that the Skelly Family could face, so he would fight.

"What? Are you angry because I call you a disgrace for a dragon and want to fight me now?" The Ruby Dragon shook its head and gave a glance at the others next to Tang Shaoyang. "Are they your toys?" He was looking at the Skelly Family.

The Ruby Dragon did not get the answer he wanted, as Tang Shaoyang was ready to fight it. The others also spread out, encircling the Ruby Dragon. Everyone was aware that the Ruby Dragon would be tough for them. Level 2911 was not scary compared to the God Ranks, but they still needed to be careful.

"Alright, stop it. I come here to look for someone to inherit my bloodline, not to fight." The Ruby Dragon revealed its intention. "I am here supposed to test the person worthy of my bloodline. You already have a dragon bloodline, and those two women are not suitable for my bloodline. So there's no point if we fight, and I am just an avatar, so you gain nothing from destroying my avatar. Can you leave this place intact?"

This caught Tang Shaoyang off guard, not expecting that answer. The Ruby Dragon was looking for someone to inherit the bloodline. He did not know the hierarchy of the dragon, what made one dragon stronger than the others.

"What are the criteria you are looking for?" Tang Shaoyang showed interest in the bloodline, and he did not want to lose the chance. Of course, he also could not force the opposite party to give its bloodline forcefully. He motioned to the others to fall back and wanted to know more about how he could get the bloodline.

"A warrior, someone who is good at a close combat fight. That way, the person who inherited the bloodline could utilize my bloodline to its fullest potential. I don't want a mage to get on my bloodline." The Ruby Dragon replied. "But of course, not anyone can inherit my bloodline. They must pass my test first. That's why I leave my avatar here."

"I see. Does it have to be a human, or do you accept any races?" Tang Shaoyang got someone in his mind.

"I don't care about the race. Demon, beastmen, elf, anything. As long as they are suitable, then they can take the test. If you have someone close here, you can bring that person here." The Ruby Dragon thought the person in front of him had an ideal candidate. Since the Rock Lizardmen were wiped out, it might as well try Tang Shaoyang's recommendation. It would be a hassle to rebuild everything again.

"We have one here." Tang Shaoyang pointed at the Abyssal Skeleton Kaiser. "He is quite talented in close combat and never lost a fight once ever since I summoned him."

Zowen and Rosalie were baffled that their Master dared to propose the skeleton inherit the dragon bloodline. It was unheard of for a skeleton to inherit a bloodline.

"YOU! YOU DARE TO MOCK ME!" Sure enough, the Ruby Dragon was angered by the suggestion. It released its dragon aura, intimidating the others. However, the Ruby Dragon's aura was quickly expelled by Tang Shaoyang's aura. It just made the Ruby Dragon get angrier about the fact he lost to Tang Shaoyang. "If this is my real body, I will kill you again and again until you beg me to spare your pitiful life!"

"Why are you angry? You said you would accept any race to inherit your bloodline. Are you going back on your words?" Tang Shaoyang snickered.

Of course, Kaiser was not the candidate in his head. The ideal candidate in his mind was Zaneos, but the Demon Swordsman was on Earth right now, and it would take days for Zaneos to reach here. He could wait, but he was afraid that it would take too long. He did not know if the factions from Starter City #5 would hunt him or not. If they tried to hunt him and found this place, then they might take the dragon bloodline. He would rather give the bloodline to his skeleton than any people from that starter city.

The Ruby Dragon gritted his teeth. It was aware that it could not win with its avatar against Tang Shaoyang, and that was why he acted like this. However, it also did not want a skeleton to inherit the bloodline.

"Get someone else! Someone else! Not this skeleton!" The Ruby Dragon compromised, but Tang Shaoyang insisted on his first choice. "If you don't want to, then I will just destroy everything here. I would rather everything be destroyed so no one could get your bloodline." He meant it with his words. The altar might be related to the bloodline inheritance, so he would destroy the altar.

"Then promise me that you will leave this place intact if I allow your skeleton to take my test?" The Ruby Dragon compromised. It was not that easy to set up this kind of set, so the Ruby Dragon did not want this to get wasted for nothing.

"As long as you do not purposely fail my skeleton, then I will keep my promise."

"Alright, that's the deal." The Ruby Dragon looked at Kaiser. He had to admit that the skeleton was really strong, but it was still just a skeleton, not a living being. On top of that, the skeleton did not have free will, and that would defeat his purpose of inheriting his bloodline.

"The test is to fight me and survive for twenty minutes. As long as your skeleton survives in that twenty minutes, then he has the right to inherit my bloodline." Of course, the Ruby Dragon would not make it easy for the skeleton. The original test was to stand against his aura for ten minutes. Then one must survive for another ten minutes in a fight with him. But the skeleton had no emotion; the aura did not affect the skeleton, so Ruby changed it to a twenty-minute fight.

"That's fair." Tang Shaoyang motioned for the others to retreat, giving the space for Kaiser and the avatar of Ruby Dragon. In his mind, Kaiser should be able to survive if it was just twenty minutes.

Secretly, Tang Shaoyang gave a command to Kaiser. [You fight to survive, not to win or kill the Ruby Dragon!]

"Can even a skeleton inherit the bloodline?" Zowen was curious about that. The skeleton did not have blood, so how would a skeleton inherit the bloodline?

"I don't know, but we will find out soon." Tang Shaoyang was confident that Kaiser would survive if it was just twenty minutes. So they would find out if the skeleton could inherit the bloodline or not by then.

"Are you ready, little skeleton?" The Ruby Dragon was back to his arrogance.

To Tang Shaoyang's surprise, he felt Kaiser's emotion. Kaiser was angry that it was humiliated in front of the other skeletons and also its master.

[I am sorry, Master. But I will not fight to survive, but I want to kill this dragon!] As the words were transmitted to Tang Shaoyang's head, Kaiser took the initiative to strike the Ruby Dragon.

Kaiser changed its hand to two swords, gathering the dark energy in the blade. It released the cross slash to Ruby Dragon's head.

"As expected of the skeleton, stupid!" The Ruby Dragon swept its tail at the cross slash. The dark energy dispersed with a single sweep, but the Ruby Dragon did not expect what came after the cross slash. Two blades accelerated through the air, targeting the red eyes. He did not see it because the blades were covered by a cross-slash. The two black blades pierced the Ruby Dragon's eyes as it roared in pain.
