Four Ultimate Warriors

Having read the original, Zhao Nan knew all about the legendary Four Ultimate Warriors of the Coiling Dragon World: the Dragonblood Warrior, the Undying Warrior, the Violet Flame Warrior, and the Tiger-Striped Warrior.

The clans of the Four Ultimate Warriors were the Baruch Clan, the Hyde Clan, the Armand clan, and the Boley Clan.

Though members of these clans were not necessarily Ultimate Warriors, they still had a chance to awaken their clan bloodlines.

Anyone who awakened their clan bloodline had the potential to become at least a Saint-level expert.

That was why the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans were so powerful, especially when Beirut had first begun his experiments.

But they had grown too powerful, and the plane's guardians tricked the Four Ultimate Warriors into going to the Hell Plane.

As a result, the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans on the Yulan Continent fell into decline.

After studying for a long time in the library at the Ernst Institute, Zhao Nan had come to understand that the Saint-level experts of the four clans had actually prepared for their journey to the Hell Plane.

For example, the Dragonblood Secret Codex recorded how to artificially awaken the clan bloodline, and the other clans had their own inherited knowledge as well.

Blue Heart Grass could neutralize the violent elements in dragon blood, Intoxication Grass could neutralize the bloodline of the Undying Warriors, Ice Crystal Cold Dew could neutralize the bloodline of the Violet Flame Warriors, and Earth Sink Fruit could neutralize the bloodline of the Tiger-Striped Warriors.

But having read the original, Zhao Nan knew that all four of the Ultimate Warrior Clans had met tragic fates.

At the beginning of the story, the Baruch Clan—the Dragonblood Warriors, renowned for their well-rounded strength in attack, speed, and defense—could only eke out a living in Wushan Town by selling the treasures in their home.

The Armand clan, whose Undying Warriors had the strongest defense and formidable attack power, with speed as their only weakness, had lost every member of the older generation. They had even lost their clan's secret battle-qi manual. In the end, only five orphans remained, all of whom had awakened their bloodline but could not cultivate. They lived amid the constant warfare of the Eighteen Duchies of the Northern Territory.

Without Linley, they would eventually have become nothing more than tools for the Radiant Church to summon angels.

As for the Boley Clan, whose Tiger-Striped Warriors were said to be the fastest and also had tremendous attack power, they were nowhere to be found on the Yulan Continent throughout the Coiling Dragon story. If anything had gone wrong, they might already have vanished completely into history.

The clan that had probably fared best was the Hyde family, whose Violet Flame Warriors had exceptionally fast recovery and strange abilities.

They had endured through the generations thanks to their skill at swordsmithing, though they lived in the Hanmu Kingdom rather than the Kingdom of Fenlai.

This clan had ties to the Dawson Clan, one of the three great merchant clans of the Yulan Continent.

But judging from the original, it seemed that none of this clan's descendants had awakened their bloodline.

After leaving Wushan Town, Zhao Nan searched through the memories of his previous life.

Once he had finished searching, Zhao Nan's first destination was naturally the Hyde family in the Hanmu Kingdom, whose location was the clearest.

With a clear goal in mind, Zhao Nan set out.

The Yulan Continent was both vast and small.

For Zhao Nan, who was now an eighth-rank expert, the Yulan Continent was still vast. So rather than set out on his own, he planned to find a merchant caravan heading to the Hanmu Kingdom.
