From the options presented:
The first choice seemed relatively safe.
If unable to fight, fleeing isn't shameful.
However, it was uncertain whether other Stellaron Hunters were lying in wait nearby.
Of course...
There likely weren't any close by.
Considering Blade had been engaged for quite some time, if there were additional allies, they would have already joined the fray.
The third option appeared risky.
Bochang couldn't predict what might happen when infusing the power of the Dragon Talisman into Bailu's body. It carried significant uncertainty.
"The reward for Option Three is quite appealing; I'm currently short on teleportation rings..." Bochang pondered deeply, "But then again... General, Take This Path - this skill could also be useful..."
The black-haired youth found himself torn between two choices.
Time ticked away, second by second.
"Overall, Bailu seems crucial to breaking this siege. If I give her the Dragon Talisman's magic... could we repel Blade?"
"Upon closer thought, the Dragon Talisman's magic aligns well with Vidyadhara's abilities. Since the system offers it as a reward, there likely won't be major issues. Even if something unexpected happens, it should still be within my capacity to handle."
After a moment of hesitation...
Bochang decided to take the risk.
"Option Three!"
With that, he leaped up.
Bochang dispelled his Fireman form and moved next to Bailu, just as Serval also rushed over.
The trio gathered on the rooftop.
The young dragon girl placed her cherished gourd at her waist and said, "There's no time to waste; let's make a run for it."
"Agreed." Serval nodded in agreement.
After the intense battle, she was utterly exhausted, lacking the strength to fight any further.
Serval desperately wanted to distance herself from the enemy, lacking the courage to engage further.
"Wait, Bailu, I actually have another idea." Bochang gently held Bailu's shoulder, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Can you trust me this once?"
"Hmm... Ah? What do you mean?" Confusion filled Bailu's adorable face, written all over her features.
Initially planning to leave, Serval paused, unsure of what Bochang had in mind.
"Bailu, don't resist now."
Without giving her a chance to object, Bochang swiftly channeled the Dragon Talisman's magic power through his right hand into Bailu's body.
In that instant,
Bailu transformed into pure light.
The blinding radiance forced both Serval and Bochang to shield their eyes, as if the small creature before them had turned into a miniature sun.
"What is this...?" Staring at her glowing body, Bailu was momentarily stunned... She felt a surge of immense power within herself and couldn't resist raising her head with a draconic roar, "Roaaaaar!"
Her physique rapidly transformed.
Short legs elongated, her chest swelled, and both dragon horns and tail swiftly increased in size.
In an instant, Bailu grew to nearly Bochang's height.
Despite the blinding radiance emanating from her, Bochang managed a quick glance.
Amidst the endless white glow, he discerned striking S-shaped curves, surpassing any female form he had encountered before - truly awe-inspiring.
Just one glimpse made his eyes water, forcing him to look away.
Blindfolded, Serval missed witnessing this transformation.
Had he seen it, he likely would have been overwhelmed with self-doubt.
Bochang thought to himself, "The little loli has grown up so quickly... The Dragon Talisman's magic is truly powerful..."
"Crack...crack..."
The Shimo Binding Lock on Bailu's tail emitted sounds of strain.
In no time...
The stretched Shimo Binding Lock was ruptured by her dragon tail.
From that moment, Bailu's form uncontrollably began to grow larger.
Her original humanoid appearance swiftly transformed towards that of a colossal dragon.
Noticing the rapidly expanding white glow,
Bochang quickly wrapped his arm around Serval's waist, while keeping his other hand firmly on Bailu's shoulder. He wouldn't stop until the system's notification sounded.
The power of the Dragon Talisman continuously flowed into the young dragon girl's body.
Strangely enough,
When using Dragon Blast, Bochang experienced significant energy depletion within himself.
But now, directly channeling the Dragon Talisman's power into Bailu's body,
the energy consumption decreased considerably.
Soon after...
With a deafening roar,
a massive hundred-meter-long pale purple dragon dramatically emerged.
Standing atop the giant dragon's shoulder, Bochang held onto Serval, feeling as if they were towering over everything below.
The stunned blonde woman's mind spun with confusion.
Concerns about Stellaron Hunters and dragons suddenly seemed utterly trivial at that moment.
For Serval, her eyes were fixed solely on Bochang. Being held in his embrace, she felt completely relaxed, her supple body molded against him as if boneless. Her heart raced so fast it seemed ready to leap out of her throat.
Her cheeks flushed deeply, and her temperature rose noticeably. Even her breathing became more rapid than immediately after the battle had ended.
However, Bochang had no time to focus on her.
His attention was fully concentrated on Bailu and Blade.
The act of embracing Serval earlier was merely instinctive.
After all...
If he hadn't grabbed onto Serval,
when Bailu transformed and crushed the house, wouldn't she have been left disheveled amidst the chaos?
Such a lack of consideration was not something Bochang would allow.
"Reward distribution in progress - Congratulations! You have obtained the Teleportation Ring, allowing random teleportation within ten meters. It contains three energy slots; each use consumes one slot, with a full recharge restoring one slot every twenty-four hours. Note: This type of item will..."
As the system's voice echoed,
Bochang ceased supplying magic power to the Dragon Talisman.
The majestic pale-purple dragon let out a crisp and resonant roar, its sound prolonged and awe-inspiring... nearly reverberating throughout the entire Luofu Immortal Continent, leaving people momentarily dazed by its intensity.
Being closest to the event, Bochang and Serval were most severely affected.
Fortunately, Bochang swiftly covered Serval's ears with his Invisible Hand. Then, from the System space... he retrieved noise-canceling headphones for her to wear.
This action prevented any harm to them both.
As for Bochang himself?
He undoubtedly used another Invisible Hand to cover his own ears; having ten hands meant not wasting their potential.
However, without the benefit of noise-canceling headphones, relying solely on the Invisible Hands...
The dragon's roar still left Bochang feeling disoriented and overwhelmed.
Once the excited pale-purple dragon ceased her cries, Bochang, holding his forehead, asked, "Bailu, how do you feel now?"
The massive pale-purple dragon gently turned her head, gazing at Bochang and Serval with one enormous blue eye. Her draconic mouth opened and closed, emitting a deafening sound.
"I'm feeling absolutely fantastic, Bochang! How did you manage this? You've actually transformed me into a true dragon."
Bailu's voice was no longer cute and childlike. She had lost her original youthful tone, adopting instead an elegant, mature woman's timbre.
"You don't need to worry about that now. We must face our enemy ahead. With your current state, do you feel confident in defeating him?"
Bochang's gaze shifted towards the massive water sphere, spanning several dozen meters in diameter.
Knowing that Bailu hadn't lost her consciousness and still remembered herself was enough for him.
Bailu declared, "In my current form... I am invincible!"
