"Ding, player Wei Yi has begun awakening his bloodline." "Collecting bloodline information... 1%, 2%, 3%... 60%... 97%, 98%, 99%... 100%" "Ding, player Wei Yi has successfully obtained bloodline information. Beginning to condense bloodline power." "Condensing bloodline power... 1%, 2%, 3%... 60%... 97%, 98%, 99%... 100%" "Ding, player Wei Yi has successfully condensed bloodline power." "Ding, the bloodline within player Wei Yi has successfully awakened. Current bloodline grade: bronze bloodline."
The game system notifications rang out continuously.
Wei Yi could clearly feel a mysterious power slowly surging within his body.
It was as though an ancient soul that had slept for countless years was slowly awakening.
His entire body was swelling!
Scorching heat!
Terrifying power!
They turned Wei Yi's entire body into something like a massive furnace. His skin turned crimson from head to toe, as though fierce flames were roasting and burning him. His robes stirred without wind, as if tightly enveloped by a powerful presence.
Scorching!
A scorching heat unlike anything before!
Wei Yi could not help throwing back his head and letting out a long howl.
At that very moment, a terrifying power erupted within him. Amid savage roars and howls of beasts, the wind and clouds shifted, and countless people could not help paling.
The bloodline within Wei Yi had finally awakened completely!
Even outsiders could clearly see countless distinct, mysterious blood-red lines appearing densely across his body. They seemed to trace out a mysterious totem, bronze in color and radiating dazzling light.
It was so brilliant, so eye-catching.
For a moment, everyone present involuntarily fell silent.
"This is... a bloodline awakening! He actually awakened his bloodline power..."
"It really is a bloodline awakening. You might not find even one person capable of awakening their bloodline among tens of thousands. Although it's only a bronze bloodline, he can still be called blessed by heaven!"
"They say the ancestors of the Jinling Wei Clan once included an unrivaled expert who awakened a gold bloodline. It's not so surprising for this Wei Yi to awaken a bronze bloodline."
"Judging by this, the boy really may have resolved the problem of his severed meridians preventing him from cultivating. It looks like the Wei Clan is about to produce another genius."
"A universally known piece of trash suddenly becoming a genius with an awakened bloodline-this really is interesting."
Even the many instructors could not help discussing it.
They were knowledgeable and experienced, so naturally, they all recognized the unusual signs of a bloodline awakening.
Many students recognized them too.
Every one of them was overwhelmed with envy.
Bloodline awakenings were exceedingly rare.
Although True Martial Academy had several thousand elite students, those who could truly awaken their bloodlines could be counted on one hand.
Wei Yi, whom they had never even considered worth their notice, was now one of them. Their feelings were indescribably complicated.
"How is this possible?"
"How could this little bastard awaken his bloodline?"
Qian Tonghe's expression darkened to the extreme, and his heart was filled with disbelief.
He would rather anyone else awaken their bloodline. He absolutely did not want Wei Yi to awaken his.
The two of them were now as incompatible as fire and water, having torn away all pretense of civility. The stronger Wei Yi became and the greater the talent he displayed, the worse it was for him.
At this moment, however, Wei Yi himself felt better than ever.
With his bloodline power awakened, his physique improved in every respect, greatly enhancing his combat strength. It had practically shot up several levels at once.
Bloodline power!
The feeling of strength!
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wei Yi's mouth. Then he abruptly raised his head and looked at Qian Tonghe.
"Qian Tonghe, do you dare come over and fight me?"
"A supposedly respectable instructor, yet you slander and scheme against your own student. Today, I'm going to demand justice for myself!"
Wei Yi's voice boomed out, instantly carrying throughout the academy.
With those words spoken, the other instructors could no longer readily intervene.
Hearing this, Qian Tonghe's face turned blacker than the bottom of a cooking pot, and intense killing intent welled up in the depths of his eyes.
Wei Yi!
He gritted his teeth, wishing he could immediately tear Wei Yi into ten thousand pieces.
So what if he's awakened his bloodline?
In the end, he's only just broken through to the Martial Master realm. A mere first-stage Martial Master-even with an awakened bloodline, I have absolute confidence I can suppress him.
"You brought this upon yourself."
"Wei Yi, you're so arrogant. As your instructor, I'll teach you a proper lesson today!"
Qian Tonghe spoke furiously.
As he spoke, he leaped into the air, likewise landing on the raised platform outside.
He gave Wei Yi no further opportunity. The instant he landed on the platform, he sent a palm strike roaring forward without another word. Surging internal Qi churned, and an enormous, hazy palm shadow appeared.
"That's the Wind Shadow Palm, a High Mortal Grade martial skill. He's probably nearly cultivated it to major accomplishment."
Someone nearby could not help exclaiming under their breath.
Earlier, Qian Tonghe had used just such a palm strike to break Wei Yi's Azure Ape Fist Art and send him flying straight out of the training room.
Now another such palm strike came at him, yet Wei Yi showed not the slightest fear. Instead, a cold smile surfaced in his eyes.
"Storm Sword Technique, break it!"
The Azure Ape Fist Art could not compare to the Storm Sword Technique.
The Azure Ape Fist Art was only a low-grade mortal-tier martial skill, while the Storm Sword Technique was a High Mortal Grade martial skill.
Moreover, the Storm Sword Technique cost as much as eight thousand taels of silver. It could be considered among the very best High Mortal Grade martial skills, its power rivaling even some Mortal Grade, Supreme Rank martial skills.
Combined with the Qinggang Sword in Wei Yi's hand, which could slice through iron like mud, the two unleashed incomparably terrifying might as Wei Yi swept his sword across.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, two masses of power collided in midair.
Although Wei Yi retreated several steps, Qian Tonghe likewise retreated several steps.
For a moment, countless onlookers burst into an uproar!
Qian Tonghe himself also stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
He and Wei Yi were a ninth-stage Martial Master and a first-stage Martial Master respectively, with an enormous gulf between them. Yet this clash of martial skills had ended in an even match! How was this possible?
In fact, there was another very important reason for this: Wei Yi had activated his bloodline power.
Bloodline power was incomparably strong. Even a bronze bloodline greatly enhanced Wei Yi's strength. The gap between their strengths was not as large as it appeared.
"Haha, Qian Tonghe, is this all the strength you have?"
"With this little strength, you think you're fit to be an instructor?"
"Since you think I'm unfit to be a student, why not step aside for someone better? I'll take your position as an instructor!"
Wei Yi mocked him loudly.
Qian Tonghe practically wished he could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it. His hatred for Wei Yi climbed higher and higher.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
Qian Tonghe roared repeatedly, striking with both palms and frantically driving his internal Qi. Countless palm shadows immediately whistled toward Wei Yi, seemingly shrouding the entire platform.
Wei Yi remained utterly unafraid.
He swung the Qinggang Sword in his hand again and again, unleashing the Storm Sword Technique at full power.
At this moment, he fully displayed the terrifying might of the Storm Sword Technique at perfection. Countless sword shadows swept toward Qian Tonghe together like raging winds and torrential rain.
One was as steady as Mount Tai, the other as violent as thunder. They fought evenly on the raised platform.
The onlookers all gaped. How was this a fight between an instructor and a student? This was clearly two instructors battling with all their strength...
With his cultivation as a first-stage Martial Master, Wei Yi had unleashed combat strength in no way inferior to Qian Tonghe's.
"So strong..."
More than half of them could not help murmuring to themselves.
