Chapter 8 Awakening Bloodline
Time is like a cutlassfish, gone in the blink of an eye, and another three days have passed.
“Students, I believe many of you have been waiting for this exciting moment. Before that, I have a lot to say to everyone.” Standing on a high platform, a tall young man in a tailcoat stood with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.
On the vast sports field, all 1,500 senior high school students were divided into twenty classes, neatly formed into square formations, looking incredibly spectacular!
“Students, do you know why we become warriors?”
The young man’s voice was extremely solemn, like a general on the battlefield.
“I hope that whether you are in high positions or as humble as dust in the future, you will not forget that our mission as warriors is to explore human development and protect our territory. Don’t forget that outside your comfortable cities, there are countless advanced monsters lurking!”
“Remember this! It was countless ancestors who forged our peace with their flesh and blood! Look up to them! Become them!”
The young principal, after a very long speech, finally came to what everyone wanted to hear the most.
“Alright, awakening begins today. I hope you can all become pillars of the Dragon Country in the future!”
As soon as the young principal’s voice fell, the students on the field could no longer contain their inner joy.
Who wouldn’t want to unleash their bloodline power, control flames to burn all evil, who wouldn’t want to master absolute zero and forge their own territory, who wouldn’t want to transform into wings and soar through the heavens and earth… who wouldn’t want to transform into giant armor and resist monster invasions?
In countless stories, videos, and movies, there are too many heroes worthy of their admiration, and they yearn to become such warriors. Today is the first step on their journey as warriors, to be arrogant towards monsters outside, and to hold high positions inside…
The awakening would be conducted simultaneously by all 20 classes.
Su Jiu looked at the number plate in her hand, number 51. She would be the last one in the class to undergo the bloodline awakening.
The homeroom teacher, who was also everyone’s graduation mentor, Mr. Lu Nan, was already standing at the forefront of the class. The awakening would be done in public, and the students just had to step forward when their names were called.
Then, place their hands on the awakening stone in front of their homeroom teacher and quietly sense it, searching for the strongest bloodline within themselves.
“Su Jiu, you got in through the back door. Won’t you fail the awakening? I heard that some people who have just reached fifty percent coagulation are very prone to failing the awakening. You, a piece of trash, might as well not waste the energy of the expensive awakening stone.”
From another queue, a familiar voice rang out. It was Luko, who had kicked her bed board not long ago.
Luko already disliked Su Jiu, and she was looking forward to mocking her during the awakening. Others were afraid of being slapped in the face by Su Jiu’s A-class bloodline, the Ice Cicada.
But she, Luko, was not afraid. She was destined to inherit her father’s A-class bloodline, and both her power and attributes would crush Su Jiu’s Ice Cicada.
Moreover, she was a genius with eighty-one percent coagulation, so what kind of trash was Su Jiu?
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu ignored her. She took a strawberry-flavored lollipop from her pocket and ate it as if nothing had happened, but her brows were tightly furrowed.
“Su Jiu, are you afraid to answer Sister Lu now? Tsk, your hands are shaking so badly, are you scared? It’s no wonder, with someone like you, without the backing of your parents, you’ll probably only live a life at the very bottom.”
Another girl standing not far away suddenly spoke up. This seemed to be the first time she had dared to speak to Su Jiu like this.
Su Jiu didn’t say anything. If it were her in her previous life, the pianist of the late-night canyon, she would have played out the family trees of these people. But she wasn’t in the mood today.
For some reason, her body felt cold, and her hands and feet were trembling involuntarily.
She didn’t know if everyone felt this way…
It was getting colder and colder, a coldness that seeped into her soul, and her back tingled with pain…
After breakfast this morning, her body felt like it had eaten pop rocks, constantly trembling, making her hands shake non-stop, trembling endlessly.
She felt like today was no different from a day of suffering. Her back ached, and her hands trembled like she had Parkinson’s.
Oh, this was really suffering. Couldn’t it be over soon?
Su Jiu really wanted to go back to the dormitory and lie down. Her teeth were biting the stem of the lollipop so hard that it was about to break. She could only lower her head, not wanting those people to see her embarrassing state.
An unknown amount of time passed.
“Luko!” Homeroom teacher Lu Nan suddenly called out.
“Look at Luko, she’s so cool. Her grades are always in the top twenty of the grade. We rarely see her in class. I heard she often goes to her father’s private training grounds to cultivate.”
“Yeah, I saw her this morning. I like her so much. I wonder what kind of bloodline she will awaken. A beautiful woman like her should have a noble bloodline, right?”
As Luko stepped forward, several boys in the class immediately started discussing. At the same time, some boys from other classes were looking at her frequently.
Luko appeared nonchalant, but her eyes enjoyed being discussed. Being discussed by “losers” was actually a very satisfying thing.
She walked up to her homeroom teacher, wearing a modest and confident smile, exuding an air of elegance and humility.
“Luko, is your esteemed father from the divine ape family, the Luko clan?” Homeroom teacher Lu Nan asked with a smile. He had seen the scene there when he was still in the military.
Ten directions of land, nine Battle Generals, one Battle King, truly terrifying.
“Indeed.”
“What is your coagulation percentage?” Lu Nan continued to ask according to the procedure.
“Eighty-one percent.”
As soon as Luko’s words came out, there was a burst of exclamations from the surroundings.
“Eighty-one percent? After I reached seventy, I felt that every little increase was very difficult. How did she raise it so high?”
“With eighty-one percent coagulation, if you add a good bloodline, wouldn’t that give you a chance to contend for the top five!”
Hearing this, Luko’s face immediately showed a confident smile. Her gaze swept over the astonished onlookers, and finally landed on Su Jiu, who was looking down. Seeing that Su Jiu wasn’t looking, she uninterestingly withdrew her gaze.
“Good, you should awaken some kind of divine ape bloodline, which will be much superior to others. But don’t forget to work harder. Your initial bloodline after all doesn’t determine everything,” Lu Nan said with a slight nod of appreciation.
Luko nodded, but secretly sneered: Yes, bloodline doesn’t determine everything, but without an initial bloodline and a foundation, you will always live at the bottom of society!
Moreover, her eighty-one percent coagulation had already proven that she worked harder than many others.
With the homeroom teacher’s permission, Luko slowly placed her hands on the floating awakening stone.
The awakening stone was shaped like a thick star compass with a clear palm print. Luko, seemingly calm but internally nervous and uneasy, placed her hands on the awakening stone…
With her bloodline, she was supposed to awaken her father’s A-class bloodline, the Blazing Divine Ape, but there was also a possibility of special circumstances, such as regression to ancient times and awakening the S-class bloodline, the Titan Divine Ape. If that happened, the Luko family’s main branch might truly start to value her.
She gently placed her hands on it…
Suddenly, the awakening stone radiated starlight. These rays of light connected to form streaks of starlight, like special blood vessels and veins, crawling onto Luko’s right hand.
Everyone was curious about what bloodline Luko, with her eighty-one percent coagulation, possessed. They all stretched their necks to look at her.
Luko stood there motionless, as if being enlightened, her head tilted slightly…
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, around the awakening stone, a nameless black fire began to swirl.
These flames grew stronger and stronger, eventually burning a black circular hole in the wooden table beneath the awakening stone, which was made of special materials. Behind Luko, a three-meter-tall phantom of a giant ape covered in flames suddenly erupted.
Hot airwaves continuously impacted the surrounding students.
“This aura, it’s at least an A-class or higher fire-element bloodline! And its concentration is very deep. It’s even comparable to a diluted S-class bloodline,” Lu Nan murmured to himself as the phantom dispersed, but he wasn’t overly shocked.
“As expected, it’s the Blazing Divine Ape.”
Luko had already heard the sound. With joy, she opened her eyes. She wasn’t disappointed about not regressing to ancient times. She felt that she had become a warrior. The powerful bloodline brought her at least double the increase in all her attributes compared to her previous self.
Her punch could now deliver at least 1500 jin of force.
Now, dealing with a piece of trash like Su Jiu would be as easy as crushing an ant… If it weren’t for her father’s influence, she wouldn’t even bother comparing herself to Su Jiu. The world had changed. Su Jiu’s bloodline concentration only provided a 1.2 amplification at best.
“A-class bloodline, very strong aura. Keep working hard, and I believe you will have a chance to contend for the top five!” Lu Nan said with great approval in his eyes.
