Chapter 44

"Big Sister!"

Lu Li opened his mouth and let out a hoarse voice, speaking with some excitement: "I, I... feel an endless surge of strength. My power seems to have increased by more than three times!"

"More than three times? Good heavens..."

Lu Ling's body went limp, and she sat on the ground, her eyes filled with wild joy.

She didn't know exactly what bloodline Lu Li had awakened, but she could be certain of one thing: the bloodline Lu Li had awakened was absolutely not much weaker than the Lu Family's Vajra Bloodline.

Emperor Lu left behind many rare ancient texts, one of which provided a detailed explanation of bloodlines. Lu Ling had some understanding of bloodlines.

It was said that all human descendants had the bloodline of the ancient divine race within their bodies. Everyone had the chance to awaken their bloodline through the Bloodline Altar, obtain bloodline divine skills, and become powerful bloodline warriors.

There were many types of bloodlines, some strong and some weak, with various types, such as enhancing strength, speed, defense, or possessing special abilities and divine powers.

The Lu Family's Vajra Bloodline was known as the strongest defensive bloodline in Central State, possessing the divine skill of Divine Armor. After releasing the Divine Armor, an unbreakable divine armor would form around the body, and ordinary attacks would be unable to penetrate it, causing no harm to the Lu Family's descendants.

For example, the Flame Bloodline divine skill possessed by the Liu Family's patriarch. After releasing the Flame, it could easily burn and scorch enemies, turning them to ashes. The Liu Family's patriarch dominated Wuling City because of this bloodline divine skill.

The more powerful the bloodline, the more bizarre the bloodline divine skill. The divine skills of lower-level bloodlines were much weaker, and even first and second-grade bloodlines might not have any bloodline divine skills at all.

The ancient text left by Emperor Lu clearly recorded several bloodline divine skills. Lu Ling knew a few, such as the third-grade bloodline divine skill Gale, which could increase speed by 50% after activation. The third-grade bloodline divine skill Steel Fist could increase the strength of the fist by 60% after activation...

Even the fifth-grade bloodline divine skill Frenzied Power could only amplify strength by up to two times. Lu Li's strength enhancement reached three times, indicating that his bloodline was at least sixth-grade or higher!

"Sixth-grade, possibly even seventh-grade, or even... eighth-grade!"

Lu Ling's eyes gradually brightened. Initially, she thought Lu Li had not awakened any bloodline, and she could hardly see any hope of rescuing their parents, feeling almost desperate. Now, her hopes were rekindled.

With a sixth or seventh-grade bloodline, as long as Lu Li didn't die young, he was destined to become a powerful figure in the future. Joining a fifth-grade royal family as a guest would be a simple matter. At that time, he could easily use a teleportation array to go to Central State and request the family's powerful members to rescue their parents.

"Uh..."

While Lu Ling was deep in thought, Lu Li suddenly showed a pained expression. His body's aura quickly weakened, and the bulging muscles rapidly shrank. His face turned extremely pale and ugly.

He couldn't even open his eyes, waving his hand and saying, "Big Sister, I'm so tired, I need to sleep for a while..."

After saying that, Lu Li climbed onto the bed and immediately fell into a deep sleep, not even bothering to cover himself with the blanket. Lu Ling quickly went over to observe him, confirming that there were no other issues with his body, just extreme fatigue.

"This bloodline divine skill seems to have a period of weakness after activation. My brother's strength and physical body are too weak to fully bear the bloodline divine skill. Blood Burning? Is this bloodline divine skill actually burning blood?"

Lu Ling muttered a few words, seeing Lu Li's pale face and feeling secretly alarmed. If it was burning blood, this bloodline divine skill couldn't be used too often, or it could easily cause the body to suffer a backlash.

With Lu Li in a deep sleep, Lu Ling couldn't ask him anything. She observed for a while, then got up to go outside and ask the steward to prepare some good food. Such weakness needed to be properly nourished.

...

Lu Li slept for more than an hour before waking up. His face looked much better, his body was somewhat tired, but his eyes had returned to their normal black, and there were no other issues.

After Lu Li wolfed down his meal, Lu Ling asked, "Lu Li, does your bloodline divine skill require burning blood?"

"It seems so!" Lu Li sensed it and nodded, saying, "When I released the Blood Burning, I felt all my blood boiling. I could only maintain it for half an incense stick's time before feeling extremely weak, unable to even open my eyes."

"Then don't release your bloodline divine skill unless it's absolutely necessary!" Lu Ling earnestly instructed, "Focus on your cultivation for now. Once your realm and physical body become stronger, it should be better."

"Big Sister!" Lu Li asked excitedly, "I... have awakened a bloodline, right?"

"Yes!"

Lu Ling affirmed, "You have already awakened a bloodline, and it's at least sixth-grade or higher. As long as you work hard, in a few years, you will definitely be able to easily join a fifth-grade royal family as a guest."

"Okay!"

Lu Li clenched his fist and nodded firmly, "Big Sister, I will definitely work hard. I will definitely join the guest hall of a fifth-grade royal family. Then I will teleport to Central State to find the Lu Family and rescue Father and Mother."

The three fifth-grade royal families were the most powerful in the Northern Desert, standing at the pinnacle of the Northern Desert.

Joining these three families was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, let alone joining their guest halls. Without awakening a bloodline, Lu Li would probably never have the chance to even visit the cities where these three royal families were located. Now, he had a chance, and a very good one!

"Brother!"

Lu Ling thought for a moment and instructed, "You can't tell anyone about your awakened bloodline. And don't use your bloodline divine skill unless it's absolutely necessary. Wait until you have enough strength and opportunity to reveal it. Also... don't reveal Father's name, I'm afraid he has enemies in the Northern Desert."

Lu Li thought about it, and what Lu Ling said made sense. His bloodline awakening was very strange, with the bloodline mark not on his neck but on his back. Such a bizarre occurrence was unheard of. If the divine temple found out, they might capture him for research.

Moreover, the Zhao Family was currently powerful, with a trend of suppressing the Liu Family. If news of his bloodline awakening spread, Di Ba would definitely incite the Zhao Family to do everything possible to eliminate him.

His bloodline divine skill could only last for half an incense stick's time, and using it would leave him extremely weak. It wasn't the right time to reveal his bloodline divine skill.

Lu Ling mentioned that when he was born, his father was in a battle with a powerful figure. The warrior who could fight his father must have been very significant. If his identity was revealed, it would bring a lot of trouble to them.

"Click, click~"

A strange sound suddenly came from a corner of the room. Lu Li and Lu Ling's gazes swept over and saw that Xiao Bai had woken up and was starting to gnaw on a broken mystic weapon. Xiao Bai, seeing Lu Li's gaze, immediately smiled and wagged his short tail.

"This little thing's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. And it only eats, never poops?"

Lu Li touched his nose, frowning. The little beast ate two handfuls of broken mystic weapons a day on average. At this rate, the 500 contribution points worth of broken mystic weapons he had wouldn't last more than half a month. When all his contribution points were used up, where would he get more broken mystic weapons for it to eat?

"Let's focus on cultivation for now!"

Lu Ling noticed Lu Li's worry and comforted him, "There will always be a way when you reach a dead end. We'll deal with it when the time comes. Once your strength is powerful enough, nothing will be a problem."

Lu Li nodded, sitting cross-legged on the bed to continue cultivating mystic energy, unblocking meridians, and aiming to break through to the late Mystic Warrior stage.

"What kind of bloodline is this, anyway?"

Lu Ling sat quietly on the side, recalling the fierce silver dragon on Lu Li's back. After thinking for a while, her gaze turned northward, and she murmured in confusion, "Father, you put the beast tooth on Brother when he was born. Did you know the origin of the beast tooth, and did you know that Brother would awaken the Silver Dragon Bloodline? Not awakening the family's Vajra Bloodline but awakening such a strange bloodline, is this a blessing or a curse?"
