Chereads / Blood and Cultivation / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

It has been a peaceful week-long journey toward the capital without any real excitement just the way I wanted it.

I spent the time relaxing in the back of the cart after all I haven't had a vacation day in three years.

I worked for seven days a week almost twenty-four seven only getting four hours of sleep a night all the while I only ate the barest minimum to survive to save as much money as possible just for this day.

So this day is very important to me it's all or nothing but even if I awaken a common bloodline I'll train extremely hard so even if I don't become a powerhouse I'll be better than average.

As I pondered over my future we had already arrived in the capital and after we went past the gates we moved down the bustling streets full of a myriad of people we pulled up to a large building and then the farmer gestured for me to get off so I did then went inside.

On my way, I was stopped by a guard who asked me for my entrance fee I handed him my large cloth sack he grabbed it and he shook it a few times before saying that I can head inside he even told me where to go.

As I walked past him I still couldn't help but admire his incredible-looking armor it look like it was made out of scales that were forged from liquid fire then again he does work for the blaze dragon palace makes sense to wear armor like that but it's still very cool looking.

After heading inside I walked down a hallway and stopped at a large wooden door I opened it and stepped into a large room full of other kids around my age.

They all look slightly nervous as they stood around in an unorganized fashion but when the doors on the other side of the room opened two guards stepped inside.

One of the guards was holding a staff and on top of it was a terrifying fleshy eye as big as a human head it looked all around the room.

Everyone come to the divine eye to do the first test.

The guard that held the eye spoke in a stern voice as the eye scanned the room getting a good look at every single child.

From what Qingting knew it was called the divine eye a device that can discern whether or not a person was ready to awaken their bloodline this was only the first test.

After about a minute the eye closed and the guard said the names of the kids that failed and they left with their heads hung low feeling defeated luckily I wasn't one of them.

okay now follow me a guard that walked up to me said as each kid was led to a different room the guard then handed a pill to me called an awakening pill I was to head inside the room and take the pill and if I didn't awaken within a certain period they would through me out.

I walked inside as the guard slammed the door shut I then sat down in a meditative position and shallowed the pill.

Immediately I felt a reaction as my whole body began to swell and burn as an unimaginable pain coursed through every nerve.

I writhed in agony on the ground barely holding in my screams of pain as I felt my body being ripped apart at a cellular level.

I could feel my muscles and bones grow and become denser as my entire physical body was reconstructed.

I ended up losing track of time as this was happening it honestly took everything I had not to pass out from the intense pain but after a while, it finally stopped I then stood up, and as soon as I did the guard flung open the door and looked at me with wide eyes.

What the hell happened to you asked the guard as he looked at me with two saucer-like eyes I wondered what he meant so I looked at myself and gasped in surprise.

I grew by a lot I was only six years old but now I was as tall as a thirteen-year-old with a healthy muscular build.

My once sickly pale skin was now a wheat color and my filthy shoulder-length dark brown hair was now thick and silky smooth to the touch.

I still had sunken cheeks and hollow eyes but I looked more lively than before I also felt much stronger it felt like I could turn stone to powder and bend steel with my bare hands.

The guard picked his jaw off the floor and took a deep breath it was actually common to undergo a physical change when awakening a bloodline but he had never seen such a drastic change before.

The guard then took out an obsidian bowl with mysterious-looking carvings engraved on the outside and asked Qingting to put a drop of his blood into the bowl.

This was the third and final test this bowl would measure his aura to see if he really did awaken and didn't cheat somehow and it would tell him what kind of bloodline he awakened.

Qingting did as he was told and bite his thumb and dripped a small drop of blood onto the inside of the bowl the guard looked at the bowl and said.

You didn't fake it then again given your transformation I didn't think you faked it in the first place but the bloodline you awakened was wait what?

The guard had a look of confusion that then turned to shock he looked at Qingting and told him that he had awoken a very pure giant bloodline wait hold on a minute a giant bloodline!!!
