Dragon Blood Burning Body

Arriving at the door, Luo Ze first knocked politely. Only after receiving Elder Long's permission did he push the door open and throw himself into Grandfather's arms.

"Grandfather!"

Elder Long lovingly patted Luo Ze, then said apologetically, "My Little Ze, you suffered yesterday. Grandfather owes you an apology. I should have told you beforehand about my return and the seal."

Luo Ze shook his head, his eyes brimming with excitement. "I'm fine, Grandfather. You sealed the bloodline inside me—does that mean I can cultivate my Martial Soul now?!"

"You sure know how to dream, kid. Do you think breaking the seal is so easy? If it were that simple, your Kirin Martial Soul wouldn't be called exceptionally rare." A middle-aged man in a dark blue robe slowly spoke from behind Elder Long.

"You old Frost, say a little less. Will it kill you to keep your mouth shut?" Elder Long snapped.

After all these years, that blunt old mirror had not changed in the slightest.

"Old Deafy, don't give the child too much hope. Reality is cruel enough; just tell him the truth. This kid's resilience is strong as hell!"

Speaking of resilience, Elder Frost could not help but look at Luo Ze with a trace of admiration.

One had to know that sealing the bloodline of a Soul Master with an Extreme Bloodline did not merely subject the caster to terrifying mental torment. The person being sealed had to endure pain like having their tendons pulled and bones stripped. If their Soul Power Level was insufficient, or they lacked the protection of Heavenly Treasures, they could only be painfully tortured to death.

Yet yesterday, even after the two of them had poured in half of their own Soul Power, Luo Ze had endured it without uttering a single sound. Such steadfast will, such unyielding spirit, truly caught Elder Frost by surprise.

Though Elder Long was displeased, Elder Frost was right. The process of sealing the bloodline was simple, but breaking it required enduring the agony and trials of flames consuming one's body.

Not only did the sealed person need a strong physique, but before breaking through the seal, he had to undergo an evolution through Dragon Blood Burning Body.

No one knew what kind of pain it entailed. Throughout history, there had only been a handful of people with Kirin Martial Souls, and without exception, none of them had survived past the fourth seal.

The reason was unknown.

"Compared to the previous owners, Little Luo Ze's only advantage is the strong physique you trained for him. According to the records, it should help him survive the fourth seal. As for the seals after that..." Elder Frost did not continue. The expression on his face made it clear that he had no confidence at all.

"No one knows my Grandson's physique better than I do. What I care about is Dragon Blood Burning Body. The Ancient Books record only a few scant lines about it. One can imagine how difficult the breakthrough will be!"

Elder Long rubbed his brow in distress. He wanted to help Luo Ze and avoid every possible danger, but the Kirin Martial Soul was simply too unpredictable.

Even the Ancient Books of the Spirit Pagoda contained only two or three hastily written pages about it. That alone showed just how rare and dangerous the Kirin Martial Soul was.

"You old Deafy, weren't you usually full of confidence in your Grandson? Besides, only through hardship, difficulty, and brushes with life and death can one grow, right?"

"Since the Kirin Martial Soul chose Little Luo Ze, it means he has that potential. Why shouldn't we believe in this child? You must understand that the more perilous the situation, the more one can unleash his potential!"

Looking at Elder Frost, who was speaking with such eloquence, Elder Long suddenly had an illusion. It was as though the man standing before him was a learned teacher, rather than that irritating Elder Frost who always spoke so bluntly.

"Elder Frost, are you all right? This isn't like you. If you don't insult me a couple of times, I'm not used to it," Elder Long said seriously.

"You're the one who isn't right! I finally came up with all that, and this is your damn attitude?!" Elder Frost's voice was deafening, as if the entire world were trembling.

"Now that's more like it. That's the Elder Frost I know." Elder Long slowly let out a breath of relief.

Meanwhile, Luo Ze, who had been forgotten while listening from the side, did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

So, is anyone going to explain this to me?

What is this seal?

How rare is the Kirin Martial Soul?

And what exactly is Dragon Blood Burning Body?!

Could someone tell me first?!

After a long while, the two old children finally noticed Luo Ze standing in the corner. The atmosphere instantly became incomparably awkward.

"Ahem. Little Ze, you must remember every word of what Elder Frost and I just said. That seal concerns your life, and it also concerns an entirely new possibility!"

Elder Long slowly walked over to Luo Ze, crouched down, placed a hand on his shoulder, and earnestly instructed him.

Seeing Grandfather like this, although Luo Ze had not fully understood their conversation, he keenly sensed the importance of the matter from Grandfather's expression.

"Mm, I understand, Grandfather. I'll work hard and never let you down!" Luo Ze replied just as seriously.

Elder Long smiled in satisfaction. Then, together with Elder Frost, he began answering the doubts in Luo Ze's heart.

The seal was naturally the seal suppressing the Qilin Bloodline within Luo Ze's body.

To ensure Luo Ze's body could endure it, the two of them used an array to divide the Qilin Bloodline's power into ten portions and seal them separately.

This way, they could ensure Luo Ze's physique received sufficient training while also ensuring that his life would not face any fatal danger for the time being.

Elder Long had recorded the introduction and characteristics of the Kirin Martial Soul in a notebook. Once Luo Ze returned, he could look through it himself and gradually comprehend it.

As for Dragon Blood Burning Body, the Ancient Books only recorded how to use it, without explaining its exact purpose...

"Grandfather, based on what you and Elder Frost explained, is Dragon Blood Burning Body the most important part of these steps?" Luo Ze asked almost instinctively.

"I don't know. Why not try it and find out?" Elder Long slowly said, then took out a thousand-milliliter bottle of True Dragon Blood from his ring.

The blood was a rich crimson, brimming with vigorous life force. Merely approaching it, Luo Ze could feel the urgency of his bloodline.

"Ah? Right now? What do I do?" Luo Ze was somewhat stunned. Wasn't this moving a little too fast?

"The method for top-tier Beast Martial Souls to advance their bloodlines is simple. Just drink the True Dragon Blood directly. The process will be a little painful, though," Elder Frost slowly explained.

As someone who possessed a top-tier Dragon Bloodline himself, he had truly experienced the sensation of his bloodline bursting apart. The pain was no less than being skinned alive and having his tendons pulled.

Without an extraordinary physique and willpower, it would be difficult to survive the first round of bloodline evolution.

"Okay!"

Luo Ze accepted the True Dragon Blood from Elder Long. He first sniffed it curiously. It was not as bloody as he had imagined; instead, it carried a peculiar nutty fragrance that was strangely addictive.

After drinking it, there was no additional taste. It was like drinking water, naturally merging into his body.

But in the very next instant, Luo Ze's previously dormant Martial Soul suddenly began to boil, just like his bloodline had before...
