"Teacher."
Xiaoqing stood at the front of the line, her gaze gentle as she looked at the teacher, curious about what reward the teacher would give.
"Just stand there."
An Chen nodded while entering the system interface and opened the notification that had appeared earlier.
"Do you wish to unlock the bloodline talent for student Ye Xiaoqing?"
"Yes!"
"Ding! Unlock successful. Awakened [Ancestral Dragon] bloodline, obtained [Sitting Fire] talent, and received the flame's inheritance mark."
As this voice echoed, a remarkable change immediately took place on Xiaoqing's body.
Her skin was instantly covered by layers of green scales, and her two legs transformed into a long snake tail. It was as if she had reverted to her ancestral form, releasing a surge of overwhelming, imposing energy.
From a bird's-eye view, you could clearly see that the energy centered around her and An Chen, forming an invisible shockwave that swept in all directions!
Tables and chairs shook, making creaking sounds.
Ali, sitting in the front row, immediately opened his mouth happily, as if a gust of wind had blown into it, letting out a childish "ah ah" sound.
The flowers, grass, and trees outside the classroom began to tremble, shaking violently.
This shockwave only stopped after sweeping across the fields and rivers.
In the void behind Xiaoqing, faint dragon roars echoed, splitting mountains and rocks, piercing through time and space, exuding supreme pressure!
This caused the animals outside the classroom to tremble, their bodies shaking in fear, bowing their heads in both terror and awe.
Some animals even knelt on the ground, completely overwhelmed by the pressure!
Inside the classroom, the great demons widened their eyes, staring at Xiaoqing's back, witnessing an incredible scene!
They saw giant dragons, some golden, some purple-gold, others entirely green...
All of them soared into the sky, swimming through a river that spanned across ancient and modern times, as if they could break free at any moment, creating a powerful visual impact!
"Ten thousand dragons roaring... Has Second Senior Sister awakened the ancestral bloodline?"
The white goat, seeing this scene, was so shocked that it put down the scroll in its hands again, staring at the strange phenomena behind Xiaoqing without blinking, muttering to itself.
Even Meng Gungun stopped chewing bamboo shoots, looking at the giant dragons emerging behind Xiaoqing, with a look of confusion in its eyes.
It seemed like it had eaten… no, ridden those dragons before?
After watching for a while, Meng Gungun shook its head gently.
The memory was too distant, and it couldn't remember. The bamboo shoots in its hands were still the most delicious.
Ancestral awakening?
Xiao Bai, the Northeast Tiger, and the other great demons all showed surprise on their faces, not expecting to hear this truth.
They certainly knew about the phenomenon of ancestral awakening.
But for such phenomena to occur, one needed an ancient bloodline and extremely strict conditions for awakening.
They never imagined that the teacher's reward for Second Senior Sister would be so incredible!
It directly awakened the ancient bloodline within Second Senior Sister, leading to an ancestral awakening!
For a moment, the great demons looked at the teacher with immense admiration, feeling a spontaneous urge to worship him!
At the same time, Xiaoqing was also stunned!
After awakening the [Ancestral Dragon] bloodline, she could clearly feel a mysterious power surging within her body.
This power felt strange, as if it had always been hidden inside her, just waiting for the right opportunity to break free and become a force she could control and use.
Without a doubt!
The teacher's reward was that very opportunity!
This realization moved Xiaoqing to tears. She never expected the teacher's gift to be so astonishing and precious!
Additionally, she sensed a new memory in her mind, something called the [Sitting Fire] talent...
At that moment, An Chen smiled faintly and asked, "How does it feel?"
Xiaoqing snapped back to reality, and the strange phenomena behind her disappeared. Her snake tail transformed back into a pair of long legs, and the green scales on her skin quickly faded away.
She spoke with surprise and excitement, "Thank you, teacher, for the reward! I feel like there's a powerful force inside my body now, and I also have a new talent. It seems like I won't be afraid of fire anymore..."
A talent that makes one immune to fire?
The eyes of the many great demons lit up. They felt that this talent suited Second Senior Sister perfectly.
Some of the great demons subconsciously glanced at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai immediately ground her teeth in frustration, feeling unwilling. Why did her annoying sister get such a talent, and she didn't?
Suddenly, a clever idea popped into her head as she thought of a way to remedy this.
'Hmm~ Maybe tonight I could secretly sneak into the teacher's room and warm his bed? Maybe then, if the teacher is happy, he'll reward me with that talent too?'
Just as Xiao Bai's gaze toward the teacher became brighter and brighter, An Chen heard Xiaoqing's response and nodded, saying, "Not bad. The talent you've gained is called [Sitting Fire], which allows you to become a source of fire, transforming into a golden lotus, and from now on, you will be immune to fire."
"So it's called Sitting Fire... immune to fire from now on..."
Xiaoqing murmured in realization, her face full of joy. She clasped her hands in gratitude toward An Chen, bowing as she said, "Thank you for the reminder, teacher. Xiaoqing understands!"
An Chen nodded, saying, "Alright, you can go sit down. Next student."
"Yes, teacher."
After responding, Xiaoqing turned and walked down from the platform.
Suddenly, Ah Li pointed to the center of Xiaoqing's forehead, speaking in a childish voice, "Sister Xiaoqing, there's a fire on your forehead~"
The other great demons followed the sound and looked, indeed seeing a red flame-shaped mark appear on Xiaoqing's forehead.
Clearly, it was the inheritance mark she had received.
Xiaoqing raised her hand and touched her forehead, noticing that her fingertips indeed felt different from when she touched it before.
This made her admire and respect the teacher's abilities even more, as she silently muttered in her heart, 'How many more mysterious and unpredictable methods does the teacher have that he hasn't shown yet?'
After helping Xiaoqing unlock her bloodline talent, An Chen, now experienced, smoothly helped Chi Zi and Guai Guai unlock their potential bloodline talents as well.
"Ding! Unlock successful. Gained the [Stone Cleaving] talent, and received the inheritance mark of rock."
"Ding! Unlock successful. Gained the [God Slayer] talent, received the inheritance mark of lightning, and acquired the skill [Lightning Fist]."
To An Chen's surprise, neither Chi Zi nor Guai Guai awakened any related bloodlines.
It seemed that bloodlines and talents were separate, varying from person to person.
Not every student could awaken a hidden bloodline.
Alternatively, perhaps certain conditions had to be met for a bloodline to awaken.
At the moment, An Chen didn't know what those conditions were.
At this time, Little Rabbit took off her sunglasses, glanced at Chi Zi, who had returned to his seat, then looked at the teacher and respectfully asked, "Teacher, Chi Zi was wondering what the name of the talent he received is?"
An Chen smiled and said, "It's called [Stone Cleaving]. With this talent, wherever his fists and feet land, mountains will split apart."
Wow~
The great demons, including Little Rabbit, all turned to look at Chi Zi in unison, their faces lighting up with happy smiles and eyes filled with anticipation.
After all, Chi Zi had an obsession with martial arts, and now that he had obtained this talent, what terrifying combat power would he unleash?
Just thinking about it made the other great demons incredibly excited.
When Chi Zi heard Little Rabbit help him ask the question that had been on his mind, a look of gratitude filled his eyes.
He lifted his head toward the platform, where a gray rock-shaped mark appeared on his forehead, and he opened his mouth as if wanting to say thank you.
But just as he slowly opened his mouth...
