Eastern Province
Dechang State
Middle School No. 3
In the playground, many students can be seen standing in a line. In front of the, a platform is made, an alter on the middle with a shining crystal on top of it.
Many students line up, go up to the alter and keep their hands on the crystal. If awakened, different color rise up and then the crystal shows the specific blood power.
Students are going up and awakening based on the class. On the playground, many students are watching all of this with nervousness. After all, blood power gives innate advantage to those than not awakened.
But not awakening doesn't mean that they can't be stronger, blood power is a special power and only 20% awakens them, all other can cultivate their strength by killing monsters, absorbing crystals and using special heaven and earth treasures.
On a corner of the playground is a boy, different from all other as he is exercising right now, unique in this tense environment. All other students are keeping their gap so as not to be infected of this mentality,
After all, just by absorbing crystals, humans can get stronger so what is the benefit of exercing when exercising for few months can be shortened to absorbing few crystals.
Even so the boy isn't paying attention as for him, he isn't someone who wants to follow the path of body training, he just wants to get stronger, whatever helps him, he will use it.
Though body training isn't much efficient but compared to those who don't train their body, he will be stronger if both of them absorb the same amount of crystals. With this mentality, though may seem useless, he keeps exercising.
Due to this, his build is extremely gorgeous, he is bulky in a right way and intimidating. Soon, the line on which the boy was started going up the platform. Soon it was the turn of then boy.
He dropped his exercise and went up to the platform. He placed his hand on the crystal and it shown with a strong milky light. After that, a set of words were placed on the crystal 'Guard'
After that the boy went down, other students went up to the platform. Many were envious of the boy but those who awakened their blood were disdainful as the guard power isn't much desirable. It is shown as combat profession but it has no attacking power.
It is more of an auxiliary power. After all, it slightly increases defense and endurance. Only high level guard are powerful as they have skills such as taunt and retaliation. But growing up to high level requires very much resources and if there are no one to help upgrade in early stage, it is doomed.
However the boy was unphased as he went outside the school as after awakening, they could go anywhere as now they were worriors.
The boy went towards the gate of base city and after conforming his identity, he went outside the gate towards the ferocious beasts jungle.
After some time of walking, there were less and less on people. The boy stopped and climbed a tree. He wanted to know more of his power.

His status attribute was amazing, after all spirit is very hard to increase and directly related to Qi (10*Spirit), and HP is (10*(Strength + Physique). The multiplier increases along with level and blood power also increases the multiplier but his common blood power doesn't increase it.
But he thought nothing of it and started looking for monsters. After some time of searching, he found a mutated hyena was killing a deer. In this era, though all monsters are mutated, some are not mutated, they are known as original animals, which are protected from monsters as they are of very rich importance for breeding.
Jiang He silently went towards the hyena and when the hyena was going to kill the deer, he sneaked attacked using a knife that he bought and hit his neck but the hyena sensed the danger and nearly avaoided but the attack connected which attracted the hatred towards Jiang He.
The deer tried to run but he was injured. Jiang He went towards the hyena and attacked it but the hyena avoided it.
Even after some time, the hyena wasn't killed, Jiange He was getting exhausted so he thought of running away. After all, even though deer had economic value, his life was more important. He avoided the claw of hyena and tried to get away from it. He created a distance and started running away but heard the cry of the deer.
When he looked towards the eye of the deer, he suddenly felt something, a feeling of something he hasn't felt before. He couldn't think of anything else as that unknown feeling filled his body with energy from out of nowhere.
He suddenly accelerated towards the hyena and attacked it. This time, the speed was very fast and the hyena would't avoid it.
After killing the hyena, he checked the deer and after finding that only its leg was hurt, he tried searching for rope but again suddenly, that strange feeling came and he blacked out.
When he was in sense, he was already in a place he didn't have memory of. He doesn't know how he came here. He only remebered that strange feeling and nothing else.
He then thought of letting go of that deer, and he felt sad. After all original animals are very rare and they fetch a lot of money. But he didn't dwelve much on it as he had other important things to do, killing monsters.
After walking for some time, he found a dark portal. It was similar to the Evil Hex but much less evil as it was a secret realm. They are very beneficial as many rare items can be found and the secret realm had high probability of monster crystals appearing on beasts.
But he was just a rank one warrior and he alone couldn't clear this realm but suddenly, he put away all these thoughts and he went inside the secret realm with fierceness on his face.
Inside the secret realm, he saw a green grassland leading towards the forest and inside the forest, it was very dark. Jiang He started walking towards the forest with knife in his hands, alert of any attack.
Suddenly a rustle was heard on grass and he attacked with his knife but halfway through stopped as it was a deer child.
Moreover, there were a bunch of them as when he carefully checked his sorroundings, he was dumbfounded as it was a full herd of original deers. If he could sell all of the, it could be very beneficial towards his goal.
But the suddenly he saw the same deer he saved back in the forest and fell into the thought. Did the deer brought it here? And why are they not afraid of him?
Even though original animals didn't mutate, they became more pure and close to the nature. So after meeting any worrior, they can sense the fierceness and killing intent from worriors and are scared of them.
But all these animals weren't scared. He felt strange. What is happening to him? Just when he was thinking, all of a sudden, all the animals ran away and came behind him. He suddenly felt that same strange feeling seeing these monsters scared.
He looked ahead as when he saw the scene, he was also scared. Beast tide, a unusual phenomenon as these beast tides happened inside the secret realms not outside but if not contained timely, they will get out and start destruction.
Seeing these animals, he knew that no one had cleared it and it seems newly formed. He hurriedly took out a scroll. It was a return scroll, a most have scroll which neglects the distance and teleports a warrior to nearby base city.
He nearly crushed it but he heard the cry of deers. He then thought of those worriors outside base city. That strange feeling again came.
He kept the scroll and tightened his grip on the knife. Thinking of the strength he received previously, he wanted to attack but found out that the strength didn't came.
The beast tide was getting near, Jiange He started getting scared but suddenly a thought came, he became fierce, ready to attack them. The strange feeling seeing those deers and the fierceness from the unknown thought.
He was ready to face these beasts. He, Jiange He, isn't a coward. He will die fighting these damn beasts than run away shwoing his back. The double emotion of fierceness and that strangeness. What will happen? Will he live or die or flee? What is that strange feeling? What is that fierceness? Why were the original animals behind him when they faced beast tide instead of running away? Stay tuned to find out.
