As soon as Xiang Yu’s consciousness returned to his physical form, he felt a wave of energy sweep through his body. His body felt as though it were engulfed in flames—not from pain, but from the dual evolutions happening simultaneously: his Chaos Body advancing to level two while his bloodlines upgraded to half-blood status.

Parts of his body seemed to disintegrate before reconstructing themselves, molecules breaking apart and reforming even more powerful. Though such a process would have been excruciating to others, for Xiang Yu it barely registered as discomfort. After enduring his daily bloodline stimulation ritual, this transformation felt almost gentle by comparison.
When the Chaos Body’s evolution completed, knowledge flowed into his mind. As usual, his physical strength and energy regeneration had increased significantly. They had almost doubled making him feel lighter.
More intriguingly, he’d gained immunity to another element: ice. He wondered briefly if this followed some predetermined sequence, occurred randomly, or perhaps resulted from absorbing Xiuying’s ice energy earlier. With insufficient information to reach a conclusion, he set the question aside for later.

Next came his bloodline transformation. Hot energy surged through his veins as both dragon and phoenix essences saturated his system. The process continued until every drop of ordinary human blood had been replaced by these bloodlines, turning him into something fundamentally different from his previous self. But surprisingly, he didn’t feel any different than he had before.
The phoenix bloodline’s benefits manifested immediately. His affinity with fire increased dramatically. Raising his hand, Xiang Yu watched it transform into pure flame—no flesh or bone, just living fire responding to his will. He attempted to extend this transformation to his entire body but discovered his control wasn’t yet refined enough. He noted that complete elemental transformation would require more practice.
His regenerative capabilities had improved exponentially, and he could feel his enlightenment expanding, insights flowing more naturally into his consciousness.
The dragon bloodline’s contributions proved equally impressive. His body toughened significantly, he could feel his strength increasing with each passing moment until it finally stabilized.
Xiang Yu couldn’t help but feel as though something had fundamentally changed in his dragon bloodline. Focusing on his arm, Xiang Yu watched as scales appeared on his skin. Just as he had transformed his hand to flame, dragon scales now emerged across his skin, overlapping in perfect formation. Curious about their durability, he retrieved a spirit weapon and struck his arm—gently at first, then with increasing force when the scales showed no damage.
Finally committing his full strength to the test, he swung with maximum power. The blade cleaved cleanly through his arm, severing it completely. Rather than panicking, Xiang Yu observed with interest as flames erupted from the stump, forming a fiery outline that rapidly solidified into a perfectly regenerated limb.

"I can cut it if I use all my strength," he mused, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Is it weak, or am I strong?" The scales had impressive durability, but clearly had their limitations. Like the phoenix transformation, mastering this ability would require more practice.
