Chapter 39 - Bloodline Pattern

Name:Ancient Tears BloodLine Author:
Candace crashed horribly at the wall. She smartly covered her head before hitting the wall. hereby preventing any injury on her head yet her left-hand elbow is fractured due to sudden impact.

Candace gritted her teeth due to severe pain. There is no dent in the wall. It was made from rare special steel. No one from outside and inside can make a dent in it.

Seeing Candace was crashed down. The Slithering Green Snake eyes raged with fire. Its beast instinct instantly took control of it. It moved forward in thought to tangle down its prey.

As half of the body of the green snake get past the danger zone. The Sci-fi collar buzzed. It sent extreme vibes to the snake's body.

The Green Snake which had beastly instinct now due to extreme vibes sent by the sci-fi collar. It became clear-headed once again followed by severe pain.

The body of Green Snake stopped abruptly. The slithering green snake shuddered and moved back immediately to the danger zone. where the "X" mark is placed.

Candace stood up from the ground. she did not move her left hand. While seeing the Green Snake withering in pain. she said to herself. "In do or die battles any small error in judgement can easily take away one's life".

Then I readied my mind. I finally noticed what was the purpose of that collar. It cannot move past a certain range beyond the "X" mark. But its body is enough to cover the entire danger zone.

Seeing around I finally made a decision. The dome covered the entire battle arena. stopping any prying eyes. If I do it where no one can find out. Besides, I don't have a choice either. I have to pass this test successfully.

I took back the whip to my storage ring. I hold my left elbow with my right hand carefully. I calmed my mind. My brown hair fluttered in wind. As I adjusted myself a star-shaped pattern appeared on my forehead.

If one looked at it closely they will find the pattern looked like three pointy edges. The pattern is pink in colour. one of the three pointy edges was a dull line. The remaining two edges were shined with bright pink light.

If one looked at me from distance they will find something shining on my forehead. I can feel the warmness radiated from two pointy edges of my bloodline pattern. Indicating Mid-level of a Trainee Apprentice.

If I make my remaining dull pointy edge to get brighten. I can be promoted to Special Trainee. For that, I need to consume a lot of resources to increase the concentration of bloodline in my body.

Unlike other bloodline warriors. My bloodline system is different. I need to vary every detail. If someone sees my bloodline pattern. I will be dead. Once my STAR MARK appeared on my forehead.

The Green Snake got alerted. This time it hissed again but did not sense the presence of humans. But something else it did not know belong to a different family gives the heat signature.

The STAR MARK on candace's forehead buzzed. A hazy pink mist covered her entire body. The bloodline in her body reacted. Soon the bloodline power went inside the broken elbow and started healing from joining broken tendons.

The healing process is slow because of her current level. But it managed to prevent the injury to get worsen. I saw the Green Slithering Snake got confused now due to my bloodline.

I used this opportunity. I lifted my right hand and aimed my finger at Green Snake's forehead. The pink colour mist that covered my entire body now reacted. The entire Pink hazy mist took the shape of a ball and moved in front of my finger.

As the STAR MARK once again buzzed. The pink mist ball. Shot directly at the forehead of the green snake. The Green snake saw this incoming ball coming towards it. It tried to deflect the ball with its tail.

As the tail came in contact with the ball. It moves past through by it. The Snake got surprised seeing that. The ball still came to attack at its forehead, too late to move now. The pink ball entered the snake's forehead.

Soon, The entire body of the snake dropped down to the platform did not move an inch. like it was dead. Seeing that Candace relaxed. Finally, the snake is hypnotised to sleep. At my current level, I can only be capable of making one shot.

Since her energy was drained. The bloodline pattern on her forehead was disappeared. She came back to her normal self. Seeing the sleepy snake. I move forward and crossed the huge body of a Slithering green snake.

If not for my bloodline power. It is impossible to hypnotise it or move it. At my current level, I cannot make a scratch on the green snake. It's a class 1 Monster comparable to Peak Trainee Apprentice Warrior. I am still one level lower. My bloodline power is inclined to control power not attack power.

As I crossed the body of a snake. I looked at it one last time before leaving through the exit door. After leaving through the exit door. I came to the discussion hall. Where Maria is waiting.

Maria is meditating in the discussion hall. I looked around and found it just a classroom. She is sitting in the front chair. As she heard some noise Maria opened her closed eyes. She saw Candace came into the discussion hall. while holding her left elbow.

"Candace, What happened?" asked Maria. Hearing that Candace smiled and replied, " I got injured while escaping from the Class 1 Monster".

This time Maria was genuinely surprised. Even though she asked. She was shocked by her clearance timing to pass this test. She thought other than her. No one will be able to pass the test. Looks like Candace is also an Elemental Warrior. Even though we were friends. She did not ask her about cultivation.

I saw her for the first time in a place at Red Stone City's Famous restaurant. We became friends there through some conversations. I never asked about her cultivation. Everyone knows that it's taboo to ask about someone's cultivation.

They will reveal it themselves once they joined the academy and choose their respective faction. Then their fraction will issue a notice regarding the recruitment of their warriors.

So I did not continue on this matter. I attended to her wounds. I found her wounds seems to be healed. I shook my head thinking that and said to her, "I never thought you would be interested in joining advanced class".

Candace looked at Maria Frazier. She knew her friend is an Elemental Warrior. Candace knew due to her instinct. But she did not know her current level. Seeing that content of the test is Class 1 Monster. I believe she passed by either killing it or escaping it. I don't know what monster species she had faced.

She did not press on this matter either. In this world cultivation is personal. Even law protects one's privacy here. But she wants to know about Class 1 Monster. Why do they bring them here? Candace sighed and asked, " What Monster did you face? It's ok if you are not ready to tell".

Maria was surprised to hear that. She thought her friend would be so strict. when comes to cultivation privacy. She said, "There is no taboo to talk about Class 1 Monster, eventually we are going to hunt them down". and then her face turned serious she uttered, "Dark Red Wolf".

Meanwhile, In Control Room.

There was silence in the hall. Everyone stopped talking. Ms Adeline key completely gasped. She said, "Look like I have to eat my own words". She never imagined Candace Wilkerson to hide so deep. she was looking at a sci-fi monitor showing Candace Wilkerson clearance time.

Hearing the mumbling self-talk of Ms Adeline Key and also his gaze never left the monitor screen.

Mr Arthur Emerson thought. Don't tell me she is another young princess of some high profile family. Why do these powerful people send their children to the lower-tier city and that too in incognito mode?

Unlike Maria Frazier, Precious Princess of Frazier Clan. We don't know about Candace Wilkerson. Her surname didn't ring any bell either. To clear this round in less than an hour. That too facing Class 1 Monster Slithering Green Snake.

Looks like I have to inform higher-ups. It's best to investigate her background indirectly without affecting her. If she is from the enemy faction. We have to eliminate her.

Soon, Ms Adeline Key came out of her thoughts and found Mr Arthur Emerson was into deep thinking. A look of understanding appeared on her face.

She said to Mr Arthur, "She is our student, Student of Hansen Sword Centre" then she added, "I know a powerful seed with an unknown background. Rings an alarm bell and a lot of times bring catastrophe, But there are also seeds sent by several families as part of their trial".

Hearing that Mr Arthur Emerson eyebrow eased. He replied, "Sometimes instead of having assumptions it's best to follow the protocol; If we found out Candace Wilkerson having some ulterior motives. As per protocol We have to do.. What is instructed".
