C30 Zhan Family Bloodline!
Early next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Zhan Tianming couldn't sleep the entire night.
Liu Yu was missing, so how could he sleep in peace?
The bright sunlight shone through the window and fell onto Zhan Tianming's face.
It was very warm.
Even with his eyes closed, he could still feel the dazzling sunlight.
"Ding dong!"
Suddenly, a system notification rang out.
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming is now sixteen years of age. You've obtained a birthday present. Do you want to open it?"
"Hmm?"
Zhan Tianming was startled.
Birthday present?
"Open it."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has obtained 100,000 experience points!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has obtained 100 attribute points."
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has been upgraded to eight-star Martial Disciple. You have obtained one attribute point."
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has obtained the Zhan Family Bloodline. Do you want to fuse it?"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has obtained 100 points of Berserk."
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has obtained 100 points of Dragon Qi."
Before he could react, notification after notification rang in his head.
"Zhan family bloodline?"
Zhan Tianming immediately opened up the system interface to check.
Bloodline: Zhan Family Bloodline
Level: Yellow rank.
Description: A bloodline unique to the Zhang family of the Nine Dragons Continent. This bloodline possesses the power to devour and grow. It can devour any and all bloodlines in this world and improve itself. Based on the bloodlines devoured, warriors with the Zhang family bloodline will have different power, level, attributes, and so on.
Description: With this bloodline is attached a Zhan family mission.
Seeing such a description, Zhan Tianming was stunned.
'A bloodline that can grow by devouring?'
What was it if not a powerful, heaven-defying bloodline?
If this could be grown stronger by devouring, Zhan Tianming decided to make his bloodline the strongest this world had ever seen.
Before that, he was curious about the ranking of bloodlines.
So, he checked the system for the ranking.
First Order: Yellow rank bloodline, Mysterious rank bloodline, Earth rank bloodline, Heaven rank bloodline.
Second Order: Spiritual bloodline, Saint bloodline, Imperial bloodline, and Divine bloodline.
Third Order: Supreme Bloodline.
There were a total of three levels nine. There were a total of three orders and nine bloodline levels.
After looking at the bloodline ranking, Zhan Tianming looked at the Azure Dragon Bloodline, Purple Dragon Bloodline, and other bloodlines in the system shop. They were all divine rank bloodlines.
"If I can fuse these bloodlines with the Zhan family bloodline, the rank of my bloodline will increase, and it just might become a supreme rank bloodline.'
At that time, the strength of his bloodline would be the greatest in the world.
"Fuse."
After thinking about it, Zhan Tianming chose to fuse them together.
"Ding dong!"
"Reminder: Bloodline fusing is permanent; it can't be reversed. Do you still want to continue?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding dong!"
"The compatibility between the host's current bloodline and the Zhan family bloodline is 100%. Beginning the fusion process..."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has successfully fused with a bloodline!"
"Activating the Zhan family bloodline's devouring ability."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has accepted the Zhan Family Bloodline Quest (S-class)."
"Quest objective: Rescue the 100 Zhan family orphans. The reward for completing the mission is 100,000,000 experience points, the complete set of the Zhan Family Dragon God armor, the inheritance of the Zhan Family Dragon God, the Dragon God pearl, and 100,000 points of Dragon Qi."
"Quest Time Limit: Three Years."
"Hmm?"
Zhan Tianming was happy at first, but then he frowned.
'An S-class mission? This is gonna be one hell of a mission; then again, the rewards are so plentiful.'
"Rescue the Zhan Family orphans? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Rescue the Zhan Family orphans? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Could it be..."
Zhan Tianming immediately looked at the quest window.
Hint: Wolf Valley
Other than that hint, there were no other clues.
Although he did not really understand what was going on with this so-called S-class mission, the fact its hint pointed at the Wolf Valley was enough to strengthen his resolve to accept it.
After that, Zhan Tianming looked at his own stats in the system interface.
Host: Zhan Tianming (Zhan Family Bloodline: Yellow), Male, 16 years old.
Rank: Eight-star Martial Disciple
Experience: 45,870/150,000
Genuine Essence: 850/850
Skills: Proud Dragon Repents...
His gaze swept over the various stats and landed on one particular stat.
Berserk: 199 (User can now cast Berserk. Upon triggering this skill, users' combat ability will be doubled. Every use will cost 100 points of Berserk and will last 30 seconds.)
"I can finally use Berserk!"
While looking at those 199 Berserk points, Zhan Tianming's gaze went cold.
The fist clenched tightly.
Kacha, kacha!
Had he had those Berserk points yesterday, he would've definitely beaten the crap out of Zhang Yong.
"Humph!"
"Zhang Yong, just you wait. If I don't beat you to the ground, I won't be Zhan Tianming!"
A sharp glint passed Zhan Tianming's eyes.
After looking at all his stats, Zhan Tianming decided to add his 101 attribute points to his attack stat.
Right now, what he needed the most was an attack power.
As for defense, for the time being, he didn't need to think about it.
Not long after, the villagers brought Zhan Tianming to the front of the village's ancestral hall.
Acting Village Chief Zhang Yong represented the entire village and gave a "heartfelt" speech in front of the Mountain God sculpture that was worshiped in the ancestral hall. After hearing the speech, all the villagers except Zhan Tianming were filled with excitement.
His third Aunt, who had lost her husband and Liu Yu's parents, who had a missing son, wasn't a part of this ceremony.
The third Aunt was in her house, and Liu Yu's parent left their house early in the morning to look for their son.
Most of the villagers could understand this.
"Bring the sacred wine!" Zhang Yong shouted.
Under Zhang Yong's command, a villager brought over the wine placed in front of the Mountain God sculpture and put it in front of Zhan Tianming.
"Drink!"
The villagers all stared intently at Zhan Tianming.
Drink the sacred wine enshrined in front of the Mountain God statue, accept the village chief's assessment and enter the Purple Cloud Mountain to complete it. After that—regardless of the assessment's outcome—the Nanqing Village would be protected by the Mountain God. This was an ancestral rule passed down in the Nanqing Village for the last hundreds of years, and the villagers firmly believed in it.
Initially, the villagers weren't optimistic about Zhan Tianming's success.
But after the show he put on yesterday...
Zhan Tianming had almost fought the Acting Village Chief Zhang Yong to a standstill. Owing to that, a couple of villagers were actually looking forward to the assessment outcome.
However, the majority of the villagers still believed that Zhan Tianming would die at the hands of a demonic beast.
After all, demonic bests were no easy prey.
Even the weakest Grade One Demonic Beast was equivalent to a seven-star cultivator.
Zhan Tianming couldn't even beat Zhang Yong, so how could he kill a Grade One Demonic Beast?
"Zhan Tianming, drink this sacred wine. Then, your journey for the village chief's assessment will begin." Zhang Yong stared at Zhan Tianming.
"Zhan Tianming, quickly drink this sacred wine." The others also urged him.
"Drink!" "Drink!" "Drink!"
The sound echoed.
Zhan Tianming took the wine pot and gulped it down.
And seeing Zhan Tianming drink the wine, the corner of Zhang Yong's mouth formed a slight sneer.
'Humph! Zhan Tianming...'
'After drinking this wine, the Demonic Wolf in the Wolf Valley will love you to death. Haha!'
'This is the last time I'll ever see your rotten face!'
'The day of your death has come!'
While Zhang Yong was lost in his thoughts, a notification rang in Zhan Tianming's head.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has accepted the village chief assessment mission. Mission completion reward: 50,000 experience points, the title of Village Chief, 1000 silver taels, and 100 points of Dragon Qi. "
