Just like that, Neru began to realize how powerful the three major clans of the Cross Country were.
Of course, it was according to Zaude. However, from the point of view of the two clans. They were the number one clan. Shira Clan doesn't want to admit that the Naoya Clan was vastly superior to them.
The reason for their rivalry is that their bloodline ability comes from their eyes. The two were competing for the position of the number one pupil family.
Shira Clan's eyes were called Fairy Eyes and there were three levels.
The first level is called Conqueror Fairy Eyes. It lets them predict 1 second of the future. Those who master it can extend it to 2 seconds. It doesn't sound much but a second in a battle can be a deciding factor of victory. Next, the second level is called Nuriyon Fairy Eyes. The eye affects their Cellular level to magnify the bioelectricity of their body to a hundred thousand times thus coating their body with electricity. It gives the Shira Clan amazing strength, speed, and lethality. The electric coat also acts like an armor that can withstand terrifying attacks.
Shira Clan's defense was nearly Unparalleled because of the electric coat. Lastly, the final level of their eyes. The Sage Fairy Eyes. The ability of the final level isn't known much as the Shira Clan kept it to themselves and there's only one member of their clan to reach this level.
In the Shira Clan, 50% of the members awakened the first-level Conqueror Fairy Eyes. Then, 20% of them awakened the Nuriyon Fairy Eyes. The difficulty of advancement of their eyes could be seen. As for the requirement for evolution? A lot of life-and-death battles and highly depend on the talent of Shira Clan members. As for the Sage Fairy Eyes, only the founding ancestor of the Shira Clan had opened it.
A legendary figure who calmed down a turbulent era. He was among the first-generation cultivators of the Cross Country and also one of its founders. As for his death... It was not known.
Such a clan is second only to the Naoya Clan. It was absurd for Neru when he learned it. Then, how strong is the strongest clan?
The Naoya Clan's eyes only have two levels. The first level is called Tribulation Eyes. Simply, it gives them an almost unparalleled perception. It helps the Naoya Clan to learn the techniques of their enemies while fighting with relative ease. A powerful eye that improves dynamic vision and reaction speed drastically. The first level was more like a passive.
It might sound tasteless ability but it gives the Naoya Clan members excellent versatility in that they can use most of the attributes they learned from their enemy proficiently even though it may not be their main attribute.
The more terrifying thing is, that every member of the Naoya Clan had Tribulation Eyes since their birth! They are always activated and don't require much consumption of Qi. They also have astonishing learning speed for every discipline thanks to their perception.
This made the Naoya Clan surpass the Shira Clan by a wide margin. After all, only 20% of Shira Clan could awaken their 2nd level. If it was 100% like the Naoya Clan. They may have a hope to catch up to the Naoya Clan.
Unfortunately, the last stage of the Tribulation Eye doomed the Shira Clan to be second for a long time.
The Heavenly Tribulation Eye! Summon lightning storms of the sky to help them fight and also summon a giant monster made of lightning and drive it like a pilot to fight their enemies. It was simply a killing machine on the battlefield...
'This world isn't peaceful...'
Neru watched the carriage drive off in a daze until it got far away from him.
"Such an interesting kid. What do you think about him?" Zaude looked at Beluer after they dropped Neru somewhere in the street.
Beluer smiled. "Crafty, cunning, and cautious... His wisdom and maturity seem beyond his age." "My lord, do you want me to kill him? It would be best to eliminate him if you perceive him as a threat."
"No, that's too boring. There's nothing to gain from that. No matter how smart he is. He's not from the Shira Clan or Naoya Clan or any bloodline Clan. People who don't have a bloodline are destined to be mediocre. Even with big opportunities, they can only reach the foundation realm at most. Only those Clans with strong bloodlines and strange abilities are a threat to us."
Zaude smiled. In fact, he himself was from a bloodline clan. But, it's not among the top 5 clans of the Cross Country.
"This world is ruled by bloodlines..." Beluer nodded with a solemn expression.
What they didn't know. Even without a bloodline, Neru possessed an eye that could end everything and isn't the same level as even the Tribulation Eye. Also possessed a legendary body method that no one could cultivate and was bound to shock the world!
"They really gave me lots of information. I hope they won't do something behind my back." Neru muttered coldly.
"Look... Who is that kid that came out from Magna Commerce Carriage?"
"Lord Zaude is really an upright kind man! He even let a kid ride with him to the capital. Lord Zaude isn't disgusted even with such flimsy clothes."
"Yuck... Where did the Magna Commerce pick up this kid? Wearing leaves to cover his body? Does he live under the rock somewhere?"
"Someone call the guards, please! I don't want to see a disgusting thing in front of me." A woman yelled with disdainful eyes.
A guard who was patrolling snorted. "That's not appropriate. This kid is clearly brought by the Magna Commerce. Do you want to offend them!?"
The woman's face paled as she heard this and hurriedly scampered away.
'There is also Karen in the Cultivation World? Tsk... Tsk... They're dangerous species. I hope I don't encounter young masters. Karens are enough to make my whole day shitty.'
Neru looked at the people looking at him. He only shrugged and went to the bodyguard. "Thanks for that man. Do you have spare clothes for you? That would help..."
'Is this a social experiment? This guy came out of the Magna Commerce carriage. He must be a rich scion that is bored enough to play outside.' The eyes of the guard lit up as he thought of this. 'Just from which clan is he?'
