Chương 16: The Power of Bloodline

The sudden prompt made Jiang Huanyu somewhat surprised. His consciousness sank into his sea of consciousness. Only then did he notice that two lines of text had appeared on the system panel that had previously only displayed divinations. Ding! [System Notification: Ninth Grade Family]: Existing family members have a 10% chance of obtaining bloodline tempering, transforming their own bloodline into Ninth Grade. Newly born members have a 20% chance of directly obtaining a Ninth Grade Bloodline.

As the family head, you may directly obtain a Ninth Grade Bloodline. [Ninth Grade Bloodline]: Allows better affinity with the power of heaven and earth, increasing comprehension and physical strength. Seeing this scene, the excitement in Jiang Huanyu's heart went without saying. Before he could even calm his mood, a mysterious power overflowed from within his body and surged toward his limbs and bones. This power was extremely gentle.

As it circulated throughout his entire body, it was already slowly changing his body. Jiang Huanyu closed his eyes, sensing his flesh and blood transforming bit by bit. At the same time, he could also vaguely sense a trace of energy drifting in the surrounding air, something he had never felt before.

"Father, what's wrong?" A small hand tugged at his sleeve. Jiang Huanyu came back to his senses. Suppressing the joy in his heart, he looked at Jiang Wenyan.

"Anu, do you feel any change in your body?" The system displayed that existing family members had a 10% chance of undergoing a bloodline transformation. Including himself, there were only five people in the family now. He could not wait to confirm whether his younger son's bloodline had changed or not. Jiang Wenyan looked at him with a strange expression.

"Father, right now I only feel a little hungry…" Hearing his answer, Jiang Huanyu felt somewhat disappointed. Clearly, this 10% good fortune had not descended upon Anu.

"Husband, are you ill?" Seeing her man saying strange things, Hu Yufen asked with concern. She knew that after experiencing today's danger, Jiang Huanyu's emotions must have gone up and down greatly. Such intense emotional fluctuation could easily make a person fall ill. Jiang Huanyu smiled and shook his head. Right now, he felt very good.

"I'll go to Brother Shuan's house and borrow an old hen. I'll stew some chicken soup to nourish your body."

"Father, I want to eat chicken soup noodles!" When the little fellow heard there would be chicken tonight, he quickly spoke excitedly.

"All right, then we'll eat chicken soup noodles!" Jiang Huanyu rubbed his head and said, "Take care of your mother." … At the same time, in Cloudwater Town's martial arts school, the day's training had already ended. The other disciples of the martial arts school had gone home or gone to rest, but on the training ground in the courtyard, one figure was still persisting. This person was precisely Jiang Wenfeng. By now, Jiang Wenfeng had entered the martial arts school to learn martial arts for almost a year.

Over this year, his body had clearly grown quite a bit taller and much sturdier. After seeing Su Chang in town last time and being warned by him, Jiang Wenfeng listened to his father's words and did not deliberately distance himself from Huang Lingxiu. Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. The result of doing this was naturally that Su Chang targeted him.

Every time the senior and junior brothers fed each other moves and sparred, Su Chang, as a senior brother, would always choose Jiang Wenfeng as his opponent. Su Chang's family background was prominent, and he had plenty of money. Through his eldest uncle's connections, he could often obtain hundred-year-old Blood Toad shed skin and some precious medicinal herbs to temper his body.

Therefore, even though he was usually frivolous and careless, under the piling up of many precious medicinal herbs, after so many years, he had already reached the level of a high-grade martial apprentice and was about to break through to the Acquired Realm martial artist stage. Fighting against him, Jiang Wenfeng would be beaten black and blue every single time. Although Su Chang was young, he was extremely vicious. His attacks were very measured.

Every time, he only caused Jiang Wenfeng some superficial injuries and would not injure his tendons or bones. This way, even the teachers of the martial arts school could not really say anything. It could be said that during this half year, Jiang Wenfeng's days had not been easy. But he firmly remembered his father's words and had always been secretly working hard. Inside the training ground, Jiang Wenfeng, who had finished stance training, began practicing fist techniques against the wooden dummy.

Starting posture, punch, turn the arm and swing the fist, raise the leg to block, right hook followed by a left straight punch… At such a young age, he had already made a set of Mountain-Shaking Fist look fierce and powerful, striking the wooden dummy with thudding sounds. In a distant side room, Huang Qingzhou stood before the window and quietly watched, a trace of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"Father, you have to control that fellow Su Chang. He bullies Junior Brother Stone every day." A young girl wearing a goose-yellow vest over pale pink training clothes, with a pretty face, spoke.

"After all, there is a verbal marriage agreement. Perhaps once you come of age, you will have to marry into the Su family." Huang Qingzhou turned his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Your eldest uncle is about to be transferred to the position of County Military Commandant of Willow County. At that time, we will inevitably have to interact with the Su family." The Deputy County Magistrate handled government affairs, while the County Military Commandant commanded troops.

Although the two were nominally of equal rank, the Deputy County Magistrate had greater say. If all external factors were put aside, between Jiang Wenfeng and Su Chang, Huang Qingzhou would also not choose Su Chang. But the truth was that Su Chang had a good family background, which was of great use to the Huang family.

"Whoever wants to marry him can marry him. In any case, I won't!" Hearing her father's words, Huang Lingxiu instantly became displeased. With Su Chang's family background, he could have found a better martial arts school in Willow County to study martial arts. The reason he had run to their family's martial arts school was because he wanted to get closer to Huang Lingxiu. But she truly hated spoiled young masters like Su Chang and looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.

Among the more than one hundred senior and junior brothers in the martial arts school, the one she disliked most was Su Chang.

"You must not be willful!" Huang Qingzhou scolded her. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Wenfeng on the training ground. At this moment, Jiang Wenfeng was practicing punches when he suddenly felt a mysterious power inexplicably surge out within his body. After this power appeared, it quickly surged toward his limbs and bones. He could clearly feel that his strength had increased quite a bit.

At the same time, the fatigue brought by stance training and fist practice instantly disappeared. An unprecedented feeling of exhilaration surged over him, instantly giving Jiang Wenfeng an impulse to vent it! His figure flashed, dodging the rotating wooden dummy. His right hand gathered force, and a straight punch suddenly smashed into the wooden dummy's head! Crack! A crisp breaking sound came. The wooden dummy in front of him clearly tilted quite a bit.

Seeing the cracked base of the wooden dummy, Jiang Wenfeng looked at his own fist in astonishment, somewhat unable to believe that this punch of his actually had such great power. One had to know that these wooden dummies were all made from extremely hard oleaster wood, with hemp rope wrapped around them. During normal training, none of the many senior and junior brothers could damage them. Could it be that this wooden dummy had been used for too long, and the bottom had rotted?

Jiang Wenfeng crouched down somewhat suspiciously, wanting to check it, when he suddenly sensed someone approaching. He quickly stood up and saw that the people coming were Huang Qingzhou and Huang Lingxiu.

"Elder Uncle, Senior Sister." Huang Qingzhou nodded slightly, his gaze looking toward that wooden dummy. Jiang Wenfeng scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Elder Uncle, I… I didn't mean to." Although he still could not determine whether it was because the wood had rotted, the wooden dummy had indeed been broken by him, and he did not intend to quibble.

"No harm." Huang Qingzhou smiled faintly, then also bent down and looked at the bottom of the wooden dummy. A fresh crack had appeared in the thick wood. Although the wood surface around it was somewhat rotten, the inside was still intact. He could not help being a little surprised. For such thick oleaster wood, even a martial artist who had just entered the Acquired Realm would probably find it difficult to break it with one punch.

Although Jiang Wenfeng's punch had not completely broken the wooden dummy, it was already very terrifying.

"Stone, have you sensed the power of qi and blood?" Huang Qingzhou asked. Jiang Wenfeng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly. He had indeed felt a mysterious force surge within his body just now, but he knew that it was not the power of qi and blood. Seeing this, Huang Qingzhou immediately became somewhat suspicious. He had thought that Jiang Wenfeng had broken through to the Acquired Realm martial artist stage on the spot, which was why he had erupted with terrifying strength.

"Come. Attack with all your strength. Let Elder Uncle see your limit." Huang Qingzhou retreated two steps and took a stance. He wanted to see just what Jiang Wenfeng's current strength was.
