Chapter 2
C2 – The Awakening of the Eternal Bloodline
In the bathtub, Wang Shan could feel the powerful surge of the Heaven Rank Cultivation Method coursing through his body, instilling him with unshakeable confidence. Cultivation methods are categorized into three ranks: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Wang Shan’s method was of the highest caliber, the Heaven Rank. With this, he was certain he could easily best Zhang Bao.
As part of the exchange, the system had drained all the water from the bathtub. Swapping the bathwater for a Heaven Rank Cultivation Method was an incredible bargain. It was akin to spending ten yuan on a method valued at a hundred thousand yuan!
”I never imagined someone like me, unable to cultivate, could learn a Heaven Rank Cultivation Method. I won’t have to endure being looked down upon ever again,” Wang Shan mused, filled with a sense of wonder.
Just then, he noticed a small snake lying in the drained bathtub. “If the bathwater could fetch a Heaven Rank Cultivation Method, what treasures could this little snake bring me?” Fueled by curiosity, Wang Shan gently picked up the frail snake.
The system quickly displayed a trade offer: A small snake for the Eternal Flood Dragon Bloodline! Wang Shan was dumbfounded by the revelation. Bloodlines are crucial in the journey of cultivation. His father, lacking a bloodline, had only managed to reach the level of a Two-star Cultivator after twenty years of effort. But the Eternal Flood Dragon Bloodline was a legendary lineage lost for eons. Possessors of this bloodline would inherit immense Cultivation Talent and extraordinary insight.
“The Eternal Bloodline, a lineage said to be awakenable only by the divine, is now within my grasp for the price of a small snake. Incredible!” Wang Shan was so exhilarated that he trembled with excitement.
”Do you wish to proceed with the exchange?” the system inquired.
”Exchange!” Wang Shan responded instantly, without a trace of doubt.
He then experienced his bloodline being purified by an enigmatic force. In under a minute, Wang Shan’s spiritual awareness had significantly intensified, and his eyes sparkled with newfound clarity. His thoughts were now exceptionally sharp. This was the might of the Eternal Flood Dragon Bloodline, a divine lineage now awakened within him. After a brief moment of elation, Wang Shan steadied his heart and embraced his new reality.
With the Eternal Flood Dragon Bloodline coursing through his veins, Wang Shan could secure first place in the upcoming test without leveraging his father’s connections.
“Young Master, the Master has arrived to see you,” Jiaxia announced from outside the bath.
Wang Shan donned his bathrobe and settled into a chair, sipping a chilled beverage.
Upon entering, Wang Tianxia noticed the bath was empty. He suspected Wang Shan’s involvement but chose not to interfere.
”Why are you lounging in the bath and enjoying cold drinks when the test is about to start?” Wang Tianxia chided with a smile. His only son, Wang Shan, could do no wrong in his eyes, so anger was never an option.
”Father, you’ve taken care of everything. All the Test Officers at the venue are your former students. I’m certain to clinch first place,” Wang Shan responded calmly.
Wang Tianxia burst into laughter. “I even financed the Cloud City test site. The Test Officers there are my old students. You’re lucky to have such an exceptional father.”
His mirth was short-lived, however, as his expression darkened. “But this year is different. Zhang Bao, with his remarkable talent, has emerged. I’m concerned he might target you.”
Wang Tianxia worried for his son, who lacked innate cultivation talent, especially since a life-or-death challenge awaited at the test. Should Zhang Bao issue a challenge, Wang Shan would have no choice but to face it, potentially leading to serious complications.
