Chapter 230: Bloodline Martial Artist
Lu Zhen didn't want to be cruel; however, feeling the ominous feeling that got increasingly tighter as time passed, he felt a sense of urgency which made him drive her away.
As he delved into the book, he finally understood how bloodlines worked and how they functioned, how they could be implanted, and much more information that remained in his mind.
Finally, after reading the entire book, he placed it on the table with a sigh.
The bloodline martial artists weren't implanted with the bloodline of this world's beast; actually, it was from other planets.
The actual story was that after the fall of the mages and the mutation of mana into Qi, many mages who still survived made a research plan to fiddle around with bloodlines and plan their revenge as they researched Qi.
To their excitement, they soon found that Qi had a strange reaction to the otherworldly races outside of the martial world. Without hesitation, they poured out all their resources to use this information for their benefit.
After decades of research, they finally found a way to utilise it by implanting bloodlines, which are now called bloodline martial artists.
But for that, they needed actual martial artists, so they went out to kidnap eight young children and provided them with resources to become martial artists.
After all, they needed to be secretive in their research because it was not their era, and if the powerhouses found out, their fate would be decided by them.
Mages hated having their fate toyed with for some reason; it was as if it was inscribed in their genes.
So, after these children became martial artists, they started their experiment as discreetly as possible.
Through gruesome and cruel experiments, they had finally created ten martial artists with the bloodline; however, they faced a problem. Due to the experiments, their mentality had become twisted. Although they could still control their minds, it was only a temporary method at most.
These eight bloodline martial artists had become monsters, terrifying not because of their strength but because of their regeneration. Even if sliced as a whole, they would eventually regenerate and come alive again, with their vitality almost endless. They could even absorb the air itself to provide themselves with nutrition.
This meant they couldn't be trusted, and they couldn't be killed as well.
At that moment, the mages knew they had made a grave mistake. They had created immortal soldiers for themselves who could turn against them at any moment.
So, they were sealed in coffins and sent far away from them to a secret place.
However, at that moment, as if by fate itself, thousands of assemblies of ancient martial artists gathered to attack the mages. Almost every single powerhouse gathered together to fight the mages.
But mages weren't to be underestimated as well, as they fought the battle fiercely. However, due to their resources being drained, they eventually went on the defensive side.
In the final moment, they erupted an atomic reactor, which almost destroyed half the martial world, then a hundred times the size of Earth. Taking the ancient martial artists with them.
That is how the ancient martial artists died, and the environment of the entire martial world changed, making it impossible for the martial artists of this era to have the physique of an ancient martial artist, which could directly take Qi into their bodies and freely travel within.
Lu Zhen had a contemplative expression as he learned all this history of the world that even Lu Ming didn't know about.
As for the ten martial artists who had the bloodline, their story was unknown in these books.
"So that's their entire history, huh…." Lu Zhen's mind swirled with thoughts as he connected every dot he had learned until now and could already guess who those eighth bloodline martial artists were.
"The eight great family ancestors are just experiments of mages," his eyes narrowed.
But it wasn't his main focus; Lu Zhen's main concern was how to obtain a bloodline. For that, he needed the bodies of otherworldly races outside the martial world.
"I have reached a dead end…" Lu Zhen gritted his teeth as he tightened his fist with anger.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind as he thought of something.
"If I can't get the bloodline of those otherworldly beasts, I can extract the bloodline from other martial artists."
Although this was a really hard and troublesome task, it was the only possible option for Lu Zhen right now, and he desperately needed it.
Suddenly, he thought of a girl's name.
"Xia Mei."
A strange expression morphed on his face as he seriously contemplated for a long time.
"No, I can't do it with my own woman. If I do such a thing, I won't be allowed to call myself a man. Besides, she has never harmed me till now, so it goes against my principles."
He thought of another person, "Fe Cai."
But that man was far away from him, so he was out of reach for Lu Zhen, unfortunately.
"Let's talk to my mother. She must know about the location of bloodline martial artists and the clan as well…" Lu Zhen's eyes flashed with a cruel glint.
As he left the room without hesitation.
"Li Nan," Lu Zhen called out.
Instantly, a shadow travelled from outside and materialised in front of him, bowing to him with reverence revealing a girl covered with a ninja black dress covering her half face.
"Contact my mother."
"Yes, young master," she nodded her head as she disappeared from her position.
"Huh."
Suddenly, Lu Zhen felt his body filled with power as his strength skyrocketed directly.
Every fiber of his being felt rather active and powerful as his body seemed to be filled with energy.
