Tang Shaoyang's initial purpose of coming back to the village was to give the Dragon Essence to Areth. He meant to experiment with the Dragon Essence with Areth, wanting to know what the other essences were. Of course, he was not going to force the boy to take the bloodline.
Areth did not really understand anything about a bloodline. He looked at the vial, then looked up at Tang Shaoyang, "Will I get stronger if I acquire a bloodline? Even if it's not a Dragon Bloodline?"
Tang Shaoyang nodded and explained, "Regardless of the bloodline, you will get stronger than you are right now. The bloodline gives you extra skills and extra attributes. Most importantly the skill. You will obtain a transformation skill. That will boost your attributes by many, and a stronger bloodline gives you more attributes and stronger skills."
