"Are you planning to tame a Magical Beast like that?" Doehring looked at Linley with some confusion. "That is a Magical Beast, not a puppy. Are you really sure that will work?"

"Grandpa Doehring, don't worry!" Linley nodded confidently. "I used to play with Wharton all the time."

Linley's words left Doehring looking completely bewildered, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Meanwhile, inside the System Space.

"Failed again."

Lin Ke held a test tube in his hand, filled with bright red blood.

"The energy points required for Dragonblood are too high; Linley cannot afford to exchange for them right now."

Lin Ke scratched his head.

For the past few days, whenever Lin Ke had free time, he would try to synthesize Dragonblood, hoping to awaken Linley's Dragonblood Warrior bloodline.

However, every batch of Dragonblood he created was something Linley could not yet withstand.

"Perhaps I need to change my way of thinking." The test tube in Lin Ke's hand vanished. "Every time I've tried to reduce the side effects, but in reality, the fewer the side effects, the more energy points it costs. But what if I were to increase the side effects instead?"

Thinking of this, Lin Ke's eyes lit up.

"That's it." Lin Ke suddenly stood up from the sofa and slammed his right fist into his left palm. "For example, pain. In the original story, consuming Dragonblood also caused immense pain."

Lin Ke waved his right hand, and a test tube appeared before him, filled with bright red blood.

"Remove the pain-suppression aspect."

Lin Ke snapped his fingers, and the blood in the test tube boiled for a moment.

"It worked, the energy points decreased."

The moment he created it, Lin Ke sensed the energy points required to manifest this Dragonblood.

Previously, it required 10,000 energy points, but now, it only needed 8,000.

"It dropped by 2,000 points in one go. Let me think about what else I can remove."

Lin Ke rubbed his chin.

"Remove all enhancements from the Dragonblood, keeping only the part that triggers the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline."

"Remove..."

"..."

Lin Ke continuously simplified the effects of the blood in the test tube.

Finally, Lin Ke looked at the murky, chaotic blood in the test tube and smiled.

Although this vial of blood could only trigger the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline within Linley.

And it would cause extreme pain.

Furthermore, this pain would last for a full 12 hours.

But it was all worth it.

After all.

This vial of Dragonblood only required 100 energy points to manifest directly.

"This time, I won't profit from Linley's energy points. 100 points, I'll sell it at cost."

Lin Ke finally set the price for this Dragonblood.

Mainly because this item was only a one-time use for Linley.

And after using it, it would significantly boost Linley's strength.

Pricing it too high didn't align with Lin Ke's plans for Linley's future development.

However, Lin Ke decided to keep the prices of other consumables at their original rates.

Creating a body for himself was not something that could be accomplished in a short period.

If he did this every time, Lin Ke might as well just work for Linley for free.

"Big Brother Lin Ke." After feeding the God-Eater Rat, Linley returned to his bedroom to communicate with Lin Ke. "Exchange a drop of Purple Light Dew for me."

"No problem." Lin Ke snapped his fingers. "Open your mouth."

As Lin Ke spoke, Linley obediently opened his mouth, and a drop of purple Purple Light Dew appeared inside.

Name: Linley Baruch Age: 8 Energy Points: 4 Physique: 1.11 Mental Strength: 1.1 Battle Qi: 0 Magic Power: 2.1 Attribute Affinity: Earth Element (Super), Wind Element (Super), Destruction (Superior), Fire Element (Medium), Water Element (Super, Hidden) Law Comprehension: None Battle Qi Manual: None Meditation Method: Pu'ang Royal Meditation Method

Looking at the Attribute Panel before him and feeling the increase in his strength, Linley could not help but reveal a smile.

"According to what Father said, there is less than half a year left until the Magic Test." Linley looked at the darkening sky outside the window, "In these six months, I must become a First-rank Warrior and a First-rank Mage."

Linley clenched his fist, secretly swearing to himself.

According to the explanations from Grandpa Doehring, a mage can cast five spells of their current rank.

A First-rank Mage can cast five First-rank spells.

Yet right now, he could only cast two.

In terms of mental capacity, he had already met the requirements.

What was lacking now was merely the accumulation of magic power.

As for the warrior side, even without the Purple Light Dew, Linley was confident.

Not to mention having the support of the Purple Light Dew.

"Linley, I suggest you take a look at the mall." Lin Ke's lazy voice echoed in Linley's mind, "I've created something new for you; I believe you'll like it."

Lin Ke's words made a flash of curiosity appear in Linley's eyes, but he did not hesitate.

The Combat Mall panel unfolded before Linley's eyes.

Aside from the Purple Light Dew and the T-Virus, a new item had appeared.

And the moment he saw the item's description, Linley's eyes were completely glued to it.

Dragon Blood: 100 White Energy Points

Description: Consuming it will cause 12 hours of continuous, intense pain, but it can activate the bloodline within a Dragonblood Warrior.

"Big Brother Lin Ke." Linley's breathing became heavy, "Can this Dragon Blood really awaken the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline?"

"Of course it can." Lin Ke's voice sounded in Linley's mind, "It's just a pity you can't obtain many energy points right now, otherwise I could create even better Dragon Blood that wouldn't have any pain at all."

"It doesn't matter." Linley shook his head, "As long as I can awaken the bloodline, I can endure any amount of pain."

Linley's expression was firm.

He would never forget the trace of disappointment that had flashed in his father's eyes after the bloodline test.

Even though it was only for a fleeting moment.

Linley had remembered it ever since.

Furthermore.

That was a Dragonblood Warrior, the pinnacle among Saint-level powerhouses.

If he could become a Dragonblood Warrior, he would have secured a direct ticket to becoming a Saint-level powerhouse.

"God-Eater Rat." Linley thought of the God-Eater Rat in the backyard; as long as he could form a contract, that would be 100 energy points.

"I must successfully contract the God-Eater Rat, and then, exchange for the Dragon Blood to awaken the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline."

Linley clenched his fists tightly, secretly swearing to himself.

And so.

For the time that followed, Linley kept his schedule packed every day.

Morning warrior training, followed by studying under Hogg.

After lunch, he would go to Wushan to practice magic, then head deeper into Wushan to kill wild beasts.

In the afternoon, he would return to the backyard to feed the God-Eater Rat.

After dinner, he would continue his warrior training.

Before sleeping, he would meditate.

Eight-year-old Linley compressed his sleep time to less than six hours.

However, precisely because of this, Linley's strength changed with every passing day.

Especially his warrior strength.

Linley maintained a pace of about one drop of Purple Light Dew every two days.

Coupled with the fact that Linley never relaxed his training.

Therefore, Linley's warrior strength improved much faster than his mage strength.

"Eat up, this is honey-roasted pheasant." Linley placed a roasted pheasant in front of the God-Eater Rat, "Eat more."

Linley reached out to touch the God-Eater Rat's head; the God-Eater Rat did not object, merely focusing on the roasted chicken.

Yet, there was still no sign of it voluntarily forming a contract with Linley.

Looking at this scene, Linley felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.

"Perhaps, I should try the method Big Brother Lin Ke mentioned?"
