Chapter 13: Challenge Bloodlines
Of course, the reason why Qian Jin dared to beat Caesars that hard was because he knew Caeller couldn’t do anything but get angry. However, he didn’t expect the managing director be deciding his fate would one day.
“Instructor, it’s okay if I can’t get a retest.” Qian Jin shrugged his shoulders to show that he didn’t mind that at all. “This test won’t affect the quality of the Warrior Energy Concentration Array that I will get in the future anyway. I can still the get the chance to use the premium one.”
“Bullsh*t!” Rodriguez slammed the desk with his average-sized hand. It made the tea cups and books on his desk jump up a little. “Although it is not related to the quality of Warrior Energy Concentration Arrays that you may use, it’s directly related to whether you can go to the Universal Hero Conference! If you don’t go to the conference, you won’t know how strong and powerful true warriors are! If you don’t go to the conference, then what can make you work harder to try to get an official participation seat next year?”
Qian Jin felt it was funny as he saw Rodriguez getting excited. From the very beginning since Oakland’s Warrior and Mage Academy was founded, all the students were eliminated at the qualifying round. They were just there to accompany the other academies.
“Qian Jin, although I’m not a top warrior, you have to trust my experience and instinct!” Rodriguez got more and more excited. “You are the most talented warrior student that I have seen. You will become a strong and powerful warrior in the future. Although you might not be able to fight against Bloodline Warriors, that won’t stop you from becoming a great warrior that can contribute greatly in the battle with the demons.”
“Bloodline Warrior?” Qian Jin frowned, but that expression only stayed on his face for a few seconds. He slowly knocked the armrest on the chair with his fingers. What a familiar word. But ever since the Primary Awakening Test, this word had instantly become something he couldn’t even dream about, as if it was on the other side of the cliff.
“I believe in you, Qian Jin! You are the most talented student that I have seen at the academy!” Rodriguez’s passion and excitement didn’t drop at all as he raised two fingers. “Two years! Only two years! When you get to the Grade Three and become a higher level warrior in the academy, you will be the guy that represents Oakland’s Warrior and Mage Academy at the Universal Hero Conference and attract the attention of the famous higher level academies. That would benefit your future greatly! It would be to the extent that you couldn’t even imagine! At higher level academies, the talented warrior students are able to use the premium Warrior Energy Concentration Array alone to advance their warrior energy ranks. Do you know how much it would help you with the advancing success rate?”
“Warrior Energy Concentration Array?” Qian Jin tried to understand Rodriguez’s perspective. He felt a little bitter. Warrior Energy Concentration Arrays would somewhat determine a warrior’s future success. The famous Advanced Academies had many varieties of Warrior Energy Concentration Arrays, and they also had many energy stones. But most of all, they had far more advanced training scrolls compared to average academies.
Getting an admission to a famous advanced academy meant a great future for a lot of people. There were academics who spent all their time studying Warrior Energy Concentration Arrays. They had a lot of financial backings and were able to get the expensive energy stones that ordinary people couldn’t afford. They had many advanced training scrolls and were still purchasing more of them from their own secret connections.
Qian Jin sighed. Advanced energy training scrolls! They were so close to him at one point, but now they were all gone. If he didn’t pick up the books that had a pile of dust on it at the family library and find a strange map with special notes of [Supreme Wind and Cloud Energy Training Scroll] on it, he would probably never come to Oakland in the first place.
“Qian Jin, although this test is not directly related to the quality of warrior energy Concentration Array that you can use later at the academy, it does indirectly affect it.” Rodriguez stepped closer to Qian Jin as he spoke, “If you can’t enter a famous advanced Academy, then where would you find energy stones to construct premium Warrior Energy Concentration Arrays to advance your warrior energy and become a Great Warrior?”
“Therefore,” Rodriguez stared at Qian Jin unwaveringly as he concluded, “You can’t have this kind of attitude towards this test. If you are able to get a Substitute Participation Seat, you would be able to observe the battles of the most talented warriors up close. In three years, as long as you are not that unlucky and are placed in the same bracket as the Elf King Bloodline Warriors from the Qian Family at the qualifying round, then you might be able to gain a spot in the final Universal Hero Conference. There are only a small number of participation seats for the final conference that are allocated to the Four Treasure State that we are in. By that time, you will have a high chance of getting into a famous Advanced Academy.”
“That’s right!” Rodriguez nodded as he spoke, as if he was motivating himself. “As long as you don’t meet the Elf King Bloodline Warriors from the Qian Family. Who knows if the young warriors from the Qian Family, one of the three Ultimate Supreme Bloodlines, have awakened their bloodlines.”
“Awaken?” Qian Jin smiled bitterly. Only one of the bloodline warriors from the Qian Family was able to reach his or her Ultimate Awakening once in hundreds of years. However, if the Qian Family only had a single Ultimate Awakened Bloodline Warrior, then it could never exist for that long. Except for the Ultimate Awakened Bloodline Warrior who would be one of the most powerful warriors on this continent, some of the warriors in every generation would have their primary bloodline awakened. There were more than thirty warriors who had their primary bloodline awakened in the Qian Family last year, and they became Bloodline Warriors; it made the history for the most bloodline awakenings in the Qian Family for a given generation.
From the documents in the Qian Family, it was said that one of the warriors in this batch would have an Ultimate Awakening. Therefore, the Qian Family paid extra attention and protection to these thirty primary Bloodline Awakened Warriors. One of them might elevate the Qian Family to its absolute peak and dominate over the other two Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Families! That’s right, from all the awakenings that had been tracked over history, there was not even a single case where the three Ultimate Supreme Bloodline Families had Ultimate Awakened bloodline warriors around the same time. When one of the families had an Ultimate Awakened Bloodline Warrior, they would temporarily become the most powerful family among all of humanity!
“Wait.” Rodriguez shook his head. “With my assistance, if you are willing to work hard, you would still stand a chance if you face an Elf King Bloodline Warrior from the Qian Family, even if they practice both professions, warrior and mage.” Elf King Bloodline warriors were great mages as well.
Qian Jin felt more bitter. There was a reason why Elf King Bloodline Warriors were able to become one of the three Ultimate Supreme Bloodlines on the human side. They had their own secrets that outside people didn’t know about. Even an Elf King Bloodline Warrior who had just a primary bloodline awakening would have an alarming growth. This was especially with mages and warriors in a single body; Elf King Bloodline Warriors were their enemies’ nightmares.
