Dragonmen

In a dream realm, Young Master Long fights with his dragonman constitution: the defense of his dragon scales and the regenerative properties of his dragon blood are on par with rank five Gu worms. ^{ch. 1231}

Bai Xiang heavenly spirit does not answer Bai Ning Bing’s doubts about the missing historical record, and presses the same method as the only way to turn Bai Ning Bing into a dragonman and resolve the crisis. The method uses the Gu Immortal as immortal material. Immortal materials vary by person, so success is low, and during refinement all dao marks in the body are affected; ice and snow path dao marks might vanish completely. Bai Ning Bing chooses the method without hesitation. ^{ch. 1228}

Accounts of Duke Long name him the ancestor of dragonmen and say he created the race with his own power. ^{ch. 1230}

The humans alike dragons method reaches its final moment in Bai Xiang grotto-heaven. In history, any Gu Master or Gu Immortal who tried to turn into a dragonman was extremely careful, made ample preparations, and took the risk only when ready; Bai Ning Bing’s situation is much worse. The refinement succeeds. Bai Ning Bing is born again with pale blue dragon eyes, and Bai Xiang heavenly spirit greets a new life and restored immortal status. Transformation path dao marks from earlier still shape the result, so the body comes out as a dragon lady rather than a strictly controlled product of the method. ^{ch. 1237}

Ying Wu Xie tells Bai Ning Bing that being a dragonman qualifies a person to inherit the Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace. In the past the dragonmen had a large number of Gu Immortals, and they created Dragon Palace. After the dragonmen went extinct, Dragon Palace was secretly hidden in a certain area of Eastern Sea. Shadow Sect knows roughly where it is, but only someone who has used the humans alike dragons method to become a dragonman Gu Immortal can inherit it. ^{ch. 1240}

Dragon Spirit tells Bai Ning Bing that a blessed land has a land spirit, a grotto-heaven has a heavenly spirit, and Dragon Court has Dragon Spirit. Bai Ning Bing asks why the Immortal Gu House is Dragon Palace if the spirit names it Dragon Court. Dragon Spirit answers that dragonman Gu Immortals created Dragon Court, but Duke Long did not allow that name and changed it to Dragon Palace. Dragon Spirit also claims Duke Long does not know about Dragon Spirit’s existence and has been left with the false impression that he successfully refined Dragon Court. ^{ch. 1746}

In a memory of teaching his disciple, Duke Long activates the immortal killer move Dragonman Extermination. The disciple senses its nature and shouts that Duke Long has killed all the dragonmen in the world, including Duke Long’s children and bloodline descendants who had already turned into dragonmen. Duke Long confirms he is the ancestor of dragonmen and the first dragonman, and that when he created the dragonman transformation method he already left this arrangement so he could eliminate other dragonmen through that ancestor identity. He treats the race as different from other variant human races because he created it and its members were originally human, and he judges that without extermination the dragonman population would keep rising through the lifespan method while humans grew fewer. ^{ch. 1748}

On the Infallible blessed land battlefield he activates the same move to kill Bai Ning Bing inside Dragon Palace. Dragon Spirit does not know that secret; it had only taken birth long after Duke Long had already exterminated the dragonman race. ^{ch. 1748}

Dragonmen are variant humans with unique points about their physical bodies. One description of a dragonman body has a dragon tail, horns, scales, and vertical dragon pupils. ^{ch. 1804}

Dragonmen are variant humans with a distinct body. Rockmen have abundant earth path dao marks, snowmen are proficient in ice and snow path, hairy men possess refinement path dao marks, mermen are water path, and dragonmen possess enslavement path dao marks from birth. They have incomparable talent in enslavement path, and they are natural kings who rule other lifeforms more easily than other races. A complete dragonman needs a matching dragonman soul in a dragonman body; a human soul possessing that body is not enough. Fang Yuan’s refined dragonman body has a dragon tail, horns, scales, and vertical dragon pupils. ^{ch. 1804}

After converting to dragonman, Bai Ning Bing’s comprehension speed of ice and snow path falls sharply. Dragonman is specialized in enslavement path, so changing to that path would give an advantage, but that advantage could not compare to the help Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique provided in cultivating ice path and soul path. Man is the spirit of all living beings, and the talent of the ten extreme physiques is far superior to the talents of the variant human races. ^{ch. 2141}

Bai Ning Bing cultivates ice and snow path, and also has aptitude in enslavement path because of her dragonman identity. ^{ch. 2256}
