The heaven-defying magic dragon was still struggling fiercely, but Long Kongkong simply stopped devouring. Though devouring spiritual power was important, it was trivial compared to Little Eight's evolution.
Under everyone's tense gaze, the struggling of the heaven-defying magic dragon was gradually weakening until it stopped moving entirely. Meanwhile, Little Eight's originally brilliant golden scales were now covered with a layer of black, making them look as though they had darkened. However, everyone clearly noticed that Little Eight's body seemed to be continuously expanding, as if struggling to break free from a cocoon.
The scales on its body surface became thicker, and new scales emerged between some scales to adapt to the ever-growing body.
Little Eight's growth was unlike that of most in the dragon tribe, whose bodies grew in an orderly and gradual process. But Little Eight, having made a blood pact with Long Dangdang, grew explosively during moments of evolution.
