Chapter 69 - The Original Nobles

"What's this..." Looking at the thing taken out by Coripo, both Chen Heng and Kurudo were stunned at the same time. The thing Coripo took out was nothing but a small glass bottle. The size of the glass bottle wasn't very big, only as wide as an ordinary person's arm. It contained some black liquid flowing inside. At first glance, it looked like some kind of black blood, quite unique. Just by looking at this bottle of black liquid, it seemed that one could feel the special power flowing within it and that unique rhythm. It was as if this bottle of liquid was alive, with an inexplicable vitality. "Black Wolf's Blood... This is a kind of potion that is rarely seen on this continent now and is quite a precious thing," looking at the thing in his hand, Coripo sighed and said. "Using this Black Wolf's Blood can further burn the vitality in the whole body, stimulate one's potential in this state, and thus achieve the effect of activating the life seed." "Of course, its side effects are also quite obvious." He raised his head, looked at Chen Heng and Kurudo in front of him, and said, "Once you drink the Black Wolf's Blood, your vitality will be completely burned until the life seed is activated, and only then can it stop." "And if you can't awaken the life seed, then what will happen..." "What will happen?" Chen Heng frowned and subconsciously asked back. "What do you think will happen when the vitality is burned out?" Coripo said faintly. "Under normal circumstances, when a knight awakens the life seed, even if he fails, he will probably survive in the end." "But if you drink this Black Wolf's Blood and the awakening fails, then there's only one result - death." "Are you afraid?" With the cold word "death" falling, he looked at Chen Heng and Kurudo in front of him and asked coldly. The two of them were silent for a moment. Death... At their age, facing such a life-and-death choice was still a bit too early. However, after just a moment of silence, Chen Heng smiled and said, "With such a heavy price, there should be some benefits, right?" "Teacher, you've been away for so long. You wouldn't have just gone to find this thing to kill us, would you?" "Of course not," Coripo also smiled, and the originally solemn and serious atmosphere immediately disappeared. "The consequences of this thing are indeed serious, but equally, it can also greatly increase the possibility of awakening the life seed." "If a person uses the Black Wolf's Blood and still dies because of it, then this person probably would never be able to awaken the life seed under normal circumstances." He said faintly like this. "So that's how it is," a glimmer of understanding emerged in Chen Heng's heart, and he understood what Coripo meant. According to Coripo's meaning, this Black Wolf's Blood was originally meant for those who had the hope of awakening the life seed. If a person originally had no hope of awakening the life seed but hoped to forcibly awaken it by relying on the Black Wolf's Blood, then the outcome would undoubtedly be very tragic. Only those who were originally qualified to awaken the life seed and had enough talent could use it and achieve good results. In other words, this thing was only used to add to the good, not to provide help in a difficult situation. Did Chen Heng and Kurudo have the hope of awakening the life seed? Undoubtedly, they did. Whether it was Chen Heng or Kurudo, their talents were actually not bad. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reached the level where they were qualified to awaken the life seed in such a short time. Even for Chen Heng, although his knight talent might not be as good as Kurudo's, it was definitely above the average level. Coupled with his powerful physique and physical fitness, it was completely possible for him to awaken the life seed. In fact, as early as more than half a year ago, during the battle with Maidel, he had already shown signs of being about to awaken the life seed. He just forcibly suppressed it, wanting to wait for a more stable opportunity. "Counting the time, it's time for you two to use this thing now," looking at Chen Heng and Kurudo, Coripo said faintly. "Let me say this first." "Although the lethality of this thing is not as terrifying as one might imagine, there is still a certain probability after all." "So, whether to use this thing or not depends on you two." "Come to me again when you've thought about whether to use it or not," he said like this, handing the choice to Chen Heng and Kurudo. Chen Heng and Kurudo nodded to show that they understood. Then, they continued to talk. After a while, they picked up their weapons and started training. They practiced with Coripo with the weapons in their hands as they did in the past. This was also one of the ways to test their achievements. After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. Coripo also needed to re-ascertain their levels so that he could re-formulate the teaching plan. "Your strength has reached such a level?" During the process, Coripo was surprised at Chen Heng's progress. "Amazing. Without awakening the life seed, you can still raise your strength to this level. How did you do it?" He looked Chen Heng up and down, and his face was full of surprise. Chen Heng's face was calm, silently enduring his gaze. In more than half a year, with the assistance of life energy in cultivation, his Rock Body Tempering Method had been further improved. Now, he had already completed the first step and was about to enter the second step of condensing the Rock Body. With the bonus of the body tempering method, his physical fitness was far stronger than Kurudo's, and he had even surpassed some knights. Ordinary knights, if they didn't activate the life seed and enter the state of life eruption, compared with Chen Heng at this moment, it was really hard to say who was stronger. This unusual performance immediately attracted Coripo's attention. "Not a knight, but stronger than a knight. Interesting," he stood in front of Chen Heng, constantly examining Chen Heng's body, and his face was full of surprise. "Teacher, why is that?" Kurudo asked enviously from the side. In more than half a year, his strength had also reached the critical point and was now close to the standard for awakening the life seed. But after reaching this level, it was extremely difficult for him to make any further progress, and there was hardly any change. Compared with him, Chen Heng had reached this level as early as more than half a year ago, but he was still making rapid progress and improving quickly. This couldn't help but make him feel envious. "Perhaps... it's caused by bloodlines and physique..." After carefully examining it again, Coripo came back to his senses and said, "People's physiques can't be generalized. In this world, there are indeed many people who are naturally different from others." "Even, they may not even be called human beings." "May not even be called human beings?" Chen Heng and Kurudo were both stunned. Looking at their expressions, Coripo shook his head and continued to speak, "Do you know how the original nobles came into being?"
