That's Clearly a True Dragon, But the Experts Insist It's an Electric Eel

Shen Qingming is reborn in a parallel world as an endangered young flood dragon at the bottom of an underground river beneath the Yellow River.

Fortunately, he awakens the [Mythic Totem System]. As long as he shocks the world, he can keep evolving and unlock the forms of all kinds of divine beasts.

He had planned to quietly make his fortune and stay hidden until he transformed into a dragon.

Who could have known that a global top-tier star exploration show called Trace the Origins would bring the most advanced underwater biomimetic drones straight into his territory!

A colossal creature, dozens of meters long, with horns atop its head and lightning flashing from its mouth underwater, appears in high-definition footage being livestreamed.

Billions of viewers around the world erupt, their entire understanding of the world on the verge of collapse!

To prevent panic, the authorities urgently cut the feed, then send a leading biology expert into the livestream to furiously “debunk the rumors.”

“Trust in science, everyone. Don’t spread rumors. Those aren’t dragon horns, just bone spurs caused by a deep-sea bone growth!”

“The lightning is caused by mutated electric eel organs on its body, triggering a local magnetic resonance!”

Watching the shock-value counter in the background soar into the tens of millions, Shen Qingming grins in the depths and starts pulling out all the stops.

Until one day, a super typhoon sweeps across the coast. In front of millions of cameras, Shen Qingming rises into the sky against the heavenly thunder tribulation and transforms into a five-clawed golden dragon!

Then, a white metal tiger tramples through the void atop Mount Kunlun, while a massive black tortoise in the depths of the East Sea raises towering waves that blot out the sky!

Netizens across the internet all turn to look at the expert in the livestream, frantically wiping cold sweat from his brow.

“Come on, old man. How about using quantum mechanics to explain how it rides the clouds and summons wind and rain?”
