Bloodline

"Uncle Lin, can I borrow your spear for a moment?"

Chu Kuang no longer hesitated. He placed a palm on Lin He's shoulder, his eyes fixed resolutely on the spear in the man's hand.

Lin He felt a colossal force pressing down on his shoulder, and his expression instantly changed.

He paused for a moment, then quickly sensed Chu Kuang's astonishing strength. His expression shifting slightly, he asked, "Are you really going?"

"If it's not possible, wait a bit longer. I've already sent word to Li Gang and the others' families. You'll have a better chance if you go together."

"This is a matter of life and death, how can I wait?"

Chu Kuang spoke decisively, and without another word, took Lin He's alloy spear.

It was a good spear, forged entirely from alloy, with a small amount of the Source Energy mineral 'Mysterious Iron' mixed in. It was strong enough to withstand the full force of a Life Level 9 expert.

Taking the spear, Chu Kuang ignored Mother Chu's attempts to stop him and walked directly out of the house.

"Chu Kuang!"

Watching him leave, Mother Chu trembled and started to follow, but Chu Kuang firmly pushed her back. He looked at her with an incredibly determined expression and said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll bring Dad back safely."

With that, Chu Kuang left directly by aircraft.

Watching his retreating figure, Mother Chu's lips trembled slightly. Her martial arts talent wasn't high, and her Life Level never exceeded seven even at her peak.

Especially after having children, she hadn't practiced for many years and rarely took Nutrient Solution, causing her Life Level to decline significantly. At this moment, even if she wanted to help, she was powerless.

Chu Kuang left home by aircraft and, after some thought, called Lin Shuyao.

Lin Shuyao answered the communication and said calmly, "You've been working for three days. You don't need to come to class today."

"Help me with something," Chu Kuang said directly, his gaze firm. "I need a spaceship to Gushen Star."

Lin Shuyao was taken aback, then asked, "That's a Pioneer Zone. What are you going there for?"

"I have an urgent matter."

Chu Kuang spoke, biting his lip tightly. "Help me with this, and I owe you a favor."

Lin Shuyao didn't ask further. She immediately said, "In three minutes, there will be a small spaceship waiting for you at the Starship Base."

"Thank you."

Chu Kuang hung up the phone, and then another communication came through.

As soon as he answered, Xu Yue said with a grave expression, "Chu Kuang, are you crazy? The Pioneer Dark Domain is too dangerous. That's not a place you should go."

"I know."

Chu Kuang replied, but then countered, "But besides me, who else will go save my father?"

Xu Yue fell silent. His realm was the Mortal Transformation Realm, so he couldn't enter a Level Zero Dark Domain like Gushen Star. As for Chu Kuang's father and the relatives of Li Gang and the others, there was no way any strong individuals could help.

This was because First Order experts couldn't enter a Level Zero Dark Domain, and if Apprentice Level martial artists could help, they would have likely joined their squad already.

This indicated that their relatives either lacked the strength or were too indifferent to risk their lives to help.

Thinking of this, Xu Yue said, "Wait for me at the Starship Base. I'll bring you a set of Battle Armor."

With that, Xu Yue hung up directly.

A warmth spread through Chu Kuang's heart, and he slowly closed his eyes, quietly waiting for the flying vehicle to arrive at the base.

Not long after, Chu Kuang arrived at the Starship Base and headed straight for the waiting spaceship. Just as he boarded, Xu Yue arrived.

Xu Yue handed Chu Kuang a heavy box, his expression extremely solemn. "This journey is fraught with unknown dangers. Your priority is to ensure your own safety."

"Time is short, so this is the best Battle Armor I could find for you. Although its defense isn't bad, it will be greatly reduced in the Dark Domain..."

"And this Bloodline Instrument. With this, you can locate your father's general direction."

Xu Yue sighed and handed him a Hexagonal Crystal.

This was a special artifact, the Bloodline Instrument, capable of sensing the approximate location of a close relative.

Chu Kuang took the Bloodline Crystal and said with a solemn expression, "Teacher, I will remember your kindness. When I return, I will repay you."

With that, Chu Kuang closed the cabin door and had the spaceship accelerate away.

As the spaceship flew, Chu Kuang slowly opened the box. Inside was a set of alloy Battle Armor and a War Spear—the very set he had used to fight his way through the abandoned Dark Domain.

This type of Battle Armor had extremely strong defense, but unfortunately, in a Source Energy-filled Dark Domain, the Intelligent Brain would completely fail, greatly reducing its defensive capabilities.

The primary defense of the Battle Armor was provided by its Defense Field.

Without the Intelligent Brain, the field defense it provided would also fail. Relying solely on the strength of the alloy, it could at most withstand attacks from Life Level 7 experts.

After all, this Battle Armor was prepared for students. A single school would prepare thousands of sets, so it was naturally impossible to use precious Source Energy ores for their construction.

Even so, this Battle Armor could significantly enhance a martial artist's survivability in the Dark Domain. At the very least, when facing alien beasts and martial artists below Life Level 8, it could greatly weaken their attacks.

A set of Battle Armor, a spear, and a War Spear.

Chu Kuang put on the Battle Armor and watched as the spaceship tore through space, accelerating. A hint of melancholy flickered in his eyes.

This trip was far too risky for him, yet he had no choice but to undertake it.

He remembered how his father had lost an arm saving him when he was three years old. He remembered his father's silent but unwavering care throughout his childhood.

He recalled how he had toiled over basic martial arts without making any progress. Xu Yue had called Father Chu to persuade him, but Father Chu had quietly bought him a Source Energy Potion instead.

If it weren't for the Source Energy Potion his father provided back then, his Basic External Martial Arts might not have reached Perfection by now, and he certainly wouldn't have been able to rise so rapidly, snowballing his success.

Even this time, Father Chu went to the Pioneer Dark Domain to adventure, all to help him earn cultivation resources.

It could be said that Father Chu's love for him was beyond doubt.

Now that Father Chu was in mortal danger, he couldn't stand by and do nothing, nor could he tolerate missing the golden opportunity to rescue his father.

"With Father's strength and theirs, even if they can't defeat the Azure Fang Squad, they might be able to hold on for a while by using the Dark Domain's terrain to escape."

"Time is of the essence; I must rush over quickly."

Chu Kuang was extremely anxious, but he still took out the Bloodline Instrument, placed a drop of his blood on it, and then watched as the drop of blood turned into a red light, flowing towards one corner of the Hexagonal Crystal.

Based on the direction the blood flowed, Chu Kuang could roughly determine the approximate location of his close relatives.

After doing all this, Chu Kuang slowly took out several vials of Nutrient Solution and swallowed them, then began to meditate and cultivate the Iron Bell Shield.

As the first part of the Golden Bell Shield, the Iron Bell Shield's defense was quite powerful. It could cultivate Mighty-level Internal Force, and its formidable defense made it top-tier among its peers.
