At the edge of the blood pool, Leon and Athena stood side by side.
To maximize the absorption of the dragon's blood essence, Leon removed his upper clothes, revealing his well-defined, powerful physique.
Meanwhile, Athena had changed out of her red gown into a thinner one.
Her alluring curves became even more pronounced, and her long red hair, which had previously flowed freely, was now tied into a ponytail—enhancing the unique charm she radiated.
Fortunately, only Leon and the dragon ancestor were present. Had there been any other men, her enchanting appearance could easily have made them lose control.
"Be careful, both of you," the dragon ancestor said from behind, his tone grave. "The blood essence in this pool is incredibly potent and has existed for thousands of years. Absorb as much as you can, but don't overexert yourselves. If you do, it may backfire."
