The big metal container was placed against a wall in the pet room.
Joanna had already returned to her nursing pen and was cultivating with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes and cast a glance at Su Ping when he walked in.
“Just continue doing your thing. Don’t mind me.”
Su Ping sat down and opened the container.
He typed in the password and with a click, the container opened. A beam of red light broke free from the container. Inside the container was the last material he needed for completing the first level of the Solar Bulwark, the Fire Crystal!
There was a profound fire element on the Fire Crystal. The image of a ball made of burning flames was reflected in his eyes.
Without further ado, and regardless of Joanna’s presence, Su Ping picked up the Fire Crystal. He poured astral powers over the Fire Crystal to consume it.
The wisps of burning energy entered through his hands and then spread to his arms, neck, chest, and his entire body.
The wisps of energy were like blood vessels that could be found all over his body.
As the burning energy spread out, Su Ping felt he was being cut open by a blade of fire. His fingers and every part of his body was breaking up. The pain was sharp enough to make him faint.
But Su Ping knew that once he allowed himself to pass out, the material would have been wasted.
He bit his teeth to power through the pain. Following the method of the Solar Bulwark, he used astral powers to guide the burning energy to refine his body, to burn out the impurities and foreign matters in his body. Then, he stamped the energy on the cell walls, to form the bloodline stamp of the Golden Crows!
Once the stamp came into being, he would be ushered into the entry-level of the Solar Bulwark for real!
By then, his body would be equal to an infantile Gold Crow!
While Su Ping immersed himself in making the bloodline stamp, Joanna opened her eyes again and this time, she looked surprised. She was aware that Su Ping was consuming the material he had been searching for. The effect of this consumption process had taken Joanna aback. She was sensing an aura that came from the distant past. Su Ping’s clothes had been burnt off but he was unaware.
The flames on his clothes were unable to hurt him.
He was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed. On his body, some red lines were creeping out, entangling him like many tiny red vipers.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe body part where most of the lines were gathering was his back. There seemed to be two flame spheres in the shape of two hands.
What… What kind of cultivation method is that?
As well-informed as Joanna was, she marveled at the scene. As the burning energy around Su Ping grew more and more powerful, that magnificent and ancient aura was becoming more profound as well, filling the entire room.
In the other nursing pens, the customers’ battle pets had all prostrated themselves before Su Ping; all of them were trembling. Some were even having stress incontinence and some had passed out.
“Let the mapping begin! “Integration!”
For the time being, Su Ping had ignored the burning sensation. He focused his entire mind on the last step of the refinement.
When the last wisp of burning energy had transformed into the final part of the stamp of the Golden Crow Bloodline, Su Ping opened his eyes. Two beams of glaring and intimidating red light surged from his eyes.
His pupils had turned red as if tainted with blood.
But inside the redness, there was a trace of golden color. That was a symbol of an ancient bloodline!
An invisible, yet profound and majestic aura radiated from Su Ping. At this moment, his body seemed to have grown infinitely taller, making him an ancient god sitting at the center of the world!
Joanna was appalled as she witnessed this from the nursing pen.
She was very sensitive to what the god race was like. She was picking up a breath from Su Ping, one who should belong to an ancient god race; it was a breath she had only felt from the Superior Gods in the Demigod Burial!
Those Superior Gods were from the Archean Divinity and they had been in existence ever since the birth of the Demigod Burial!
This feeling…
There’s something else, something like a supernatural-evil spirit…
Joanna’s surprise was deepened. It was beyond reason and logic. Those supernatural-evil spirits should be long gone. Why would it appear in Su Ping?
Su Ping had come back to his senses. The majestic aura around him had faded away. The moment the integration of the bloodline was completed, Su Ping felt a surge of information coming into his mind. That was the bloodline legacy. Su Ping could see the images of the Golden Grows in those pieces of information.
But the image was blurred.
Su Ping saw that countless Golden Grows were chasing after a glaring sun.
The sunlight was offending to the eyes.
With more and more Golden Grows flying toward the sun, the light of the sun was blotted. It was then that Su Ping noticed that the thing giving out the light was not a sun, but an unbelievably…. long finger! The finger was shining in all its radiance. He could even see some fingerprints! Su Ping was stunned speechless. He felt his blood was boiling.
It was as if the recently assimilated Golden Crow bloodline was surging. The clips of memory vanished. But that finger had left a permanent mark on Su Ping’s consciousness.
After a long while, Su Ping’s mind finally came back to reality. He could see the pet room again.
Everything he had just seen just then was an illusion.
He felt chilly all of a sudden.
He lowered his head, only to see that his perfect and model-like body was completely exposed.
Su Ping turned around, only to see a pair of wide-open eyes.
“What are you looking at!” Su Ping shouted in terror.
Joanna was pulled back to reality by his shout. She was enraged after seeing the fear in Su Ping’s face. She snorted, bit her teeth and turned her back to Su Ping.
“You have to make up for me,” Su Ping complained while he got some clothes out from his storage space to put on.
Joanna: “Piss off!”
“You saw it all and you want to deny it!”
“F*uck off!!”
“Sure thing.” Su Ping got up, closed the container, and took it away with him.
Su Ping closed the door. He felt the smell of blood was over ten times more pungent than before! Every time he took a breath in, he would get a feeling of blood pouring into his nose, which almost left him breathless.
But soon enough, he had become used to it and even felt the smell of sweat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe took a look outside. The two elders of the Liu Family were cleaning the street with a group of people while Tang Ruyan was standing by the door, pointing here and there like a leader, instructing the two Liu Family elders.
Well, she sure is swaggering around.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Then, he noticed that he could see many red lines in Tang Ruyan and the two Liu Family elders.
Su Ping took a closer look and the red lines stood out even more.
Are the red lines… the blood vessels?
Su Ping was surprised since he was able to see that.
Besides, he noticed that every one of them was giving out faint, red steam.
The steam around Tang Ruyan was thinner while that around the two Liu Family elders were stronger. There was similar steam around the others who were cleaning the street.
That had to be the effect of the entry-level Solar Bulwark.
Sensitive to heat?
But that is just relevant to body heat. I cannot tell a person’s combat strength with this. This would be ineffective when it comes to cold-blooded animals. So, this enhanced vision is not all that useful. Wait a minute…
While feeling sorry, Su Ping noticed something
The heat signature changed just then, behind Tang Ruyan, around her bottom.
Is she…
Farting?!
Su Ping was dumbfounded.
Tang Ruyan was still bossing the two Liu Family elders around as if nothing had happened. Su Ping could not help but curl his
lips.
All of a sudden, he realized that the enhanced vision was actually of some use. At the very least, he could accurately identify the culprit in some elevators, when the air suddenly turned foul…
