Ding! The player Wei Yi begins to awaken his bloodline.
"Collecting bloodline data... 1%, 2%, 3%... 60%... 97%, 98%, 99%... 100%"
Ding! Player Wei Yi has successfully obtained bloodline information and begins to condense the power of the bloodline.
"Condensing bloodline power... 1%, 2%, 3%... 60%... 97%, 98%, 99%... 100%"
Ding! Player Wei Yi has successfully condensed the power of the bloodline.
Ding! Player Wei Yi's bloodline has successfully awakened. Current bloodline level: Bronze Bloodline.
The system's notifications echoed continuously.
Wei Yi could distinctly feel a mysterious force slowly surging within his body.
It was as if an ancient, slumbering soul, having slept for countless years, was gradually awakening.
His entire body was expanding!
A scorching heat!
A terrifying energy!
Wei Yi felt as though his body had transformed into a massive furnace, with his skin turning a deep crimson, as though it were being seared by fierce flames. His robes swirled in the air, as if tightly wrapped by an overwhelming force.
The heat!
An unprecedented heat!
Wei Yi could not suppress a long, anguished cry.
At that very moment, a surge of terrifying energy erupted within him, accompanied by the sound of beastly roars. The world seemed to shift as thunder rumbled and the winds howled. Countless onlookers turned pale with astonishment.
Wei Yi's bloodline had finally fully awakened!
Even outsiders could clearly see the intricate, mysterious bloodlines appearing all over his body, as though they were outlining an ancient totem, glowing with a brilliant bronze radiance.
It was so dazzling, so striking.
In an instant, everyone present stood speechless, stunned by the sight.
"Is this... the awakening of his bloodline? He actually awakened his bloodline powers..."
"It's a genuine bloodline awakening. Even among tens of thousands, few could awaken their bloodline. Though it is only the bronze bloodline, it is still quite rare!"
"I've heard that the ancestors of the Wei family in Jinling once produced a peerless expert with a golden bloodline. This Wei Yi awakening a bronze bloodline is within reason."
"Given this, it seems that this child has solved the problem of his inability to cultivate. It appears that the Wei family is about to produce another genius."
"The waste we all knew has suddenly turned into a genius with an awakened bloodline. This is truly an intriguing development."
Even the teachers could not help but engage in quiet discussions.
Having seen much in their lives, they could easily recognize the abnormality of a bloodline awakening.
Many students could also see it.
Each one of them couldn't help but feel intense envy.
The awakening of a bloodline was incredibly rare.
Though the True Martial Academy had thousands of elite students, those who could awaken their bloodline were only a handful.
The Wei Yi they had once dismissed was now among them, and the complexity of emotions in their hearts was palpable.
"How is this possible?"
"This little bastard actually awakened his bloodline?"
Qian Tonghe's face turned ashen with disbelief.
He would rather anyone else have awakened their bloodline than Wei Yi.
Their relationship had long since deteriorated into open hostility, and the stronger Wei Yi became, the more troubling it was for him.
However, in that very moment, Wei Yi himself felt better than ever before.
With the awakening of his bloodline, his physical constitution had been enhanced across the board, and his combat power surged, climbing several ranks in an instant.
The power of the bloodline!
The overwhelming sensation!
A smile curled on Wei Yi's lips as he raised his head sharply and fixed his gaze on Qian Tonghe.
"Qian Tonghe, dare you face me in combat?"
"As a teacher, you slandered and plotted against your own student. Today, I shall seek justice for myself!"
Wei Yi's voice rumbled, echoing throughout the entire academy.
Upon hearing this, the other teachers found themselves unable to interfere.
Qian Tonghe's face turned as black as a pot's bottom, and a deep, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Wei Yi!!!
He ground his teeth, filled with rage, wishing he could tear Wei Yi to pieces on the spot.
So what if his bloodline had awakened?
He was still merely a beginner Martial Master. Even if his bloodline had awakened, Qian Tonghe was confident in his ability to suppress him.
"This is your own doing."
"Wei Yi, you are so arrogant. As your teacher, today I will teach you a lesson!"
Qian Tonghe shouted angrily.
Without another word, he leaped onto the platform, refusing to give Wei Yi a moment's respite. The instant he landed, he launched a swift palm strike, with surging inner energy, manifesting a colossal, blurry palm shadow.
"It's the Wind Shadow Palm, an advanced martial skill of the mundane tier. He's almost mastered it!"
Someone whispered in the crowd.
It was this very palm strike that had shattered Wei Yi's Cang Yuan Fist earlier, sending him flying from the training hall to the outside.
Now, another such strike was coming, but Wei Yi showed no fear. Instead, a cold smile flickered in his eyes.
"Storm Swordsmanship, break it!"
The Storm Swordsmanship was not comparable to the Cang Yuan Fist.
While the Cang Yuan Fist was an inferior martial skill, the Storm Swordsmanship was an advanced martial skill of the mundane tier.
Moreover, the Storm Swordsmanship cost a hefty 8,000 taels of silver, placing it at the pinnacle of its tier. Its power rivaled some of the extreme martial skills of the mundane tier.
With the Green Scythe Sword in his hand, capable of cutting through iron like mud, the combined might of both made Wei Yi's strike devastating.
Boom!
A resounding explosion echoed as two waves of energy collided mid-air.
Wei Yi staggered back a few steps, but so did Qian Tonghe, retreating several paces.
The crowd was left astounded.
Qian Tonghe's eyes widened in disbelief.
With one being a ninth-tier Martial Master and the other merely a first-tier, the difference was vast, yet they were evenly matched. How could this be possible?
The reason was clear: Wei Yi had triggered the power of his bloodline.
The power of the bloodline was incredibly potent. Even with only a bronze bloodline, it greatly enhanced Wei Yi's strength, making the difference between the two not as vast as it seemed.
"Haha, Qian Tonghe, is that all you've got?"
"Is this the level of skill befitting a teacher?"
"Since you believe I am unworthy of being a student, why not step aside and let me take your place as a teacher!"
Wei Yi's loud mocking voice rang out.
Qian Tonghe's hatred for Wei Yi surged, wishing he could sink into the ground.
"You're asking for death!"
Qian Tonghe bellowed, his palms striking furiously as he unleashed a flurry of palm shadows, each one roaring toward Wei Yi. The entire platform seemed to be engulfed in a sea of palm shadows.
Wei Yi remained unfazed.
He swung his Green Scythe Sword, unleashing the full power of the Storm Swordsmanship.
At this moment, he fully demonstrated the terrifying potential of the perfected Storm Swordsmanship. The countless sword shadows whirled like a storm, crashing down upon Qian Tonghe with a deafening roar.
The two fought fiercely, one steady as a mountain, the other as ferocious as thunder. Their battle on the platform was a deadlock.
The crowd watched in awe. This was no longer the clash of a teacher and student; it was as if two teachers were fighting with all their might…
Despite his first-tier Martial Master rank, Wei Yi unleashed a battle power that matched Qian Tonghe's.
"How strong..."
Most of the onlookers murmured in amazement.
