Chapter 36: Variant

"Before I talk about innate skill, I have to start with another topic,"

After thinking for a moment, the sect leader decided to say about it.

Henrick didn't say anything and quietly listened to the sect master and waited for what he was going to say.

"In this human world, there are no longer any pure humans," The sect leader slowly said about a fact that Henrick didn't know before which made him shocked.

"What?" Henrick looked at the sect leader with a confused face.

"I mean, in every human body there is some kind of bloodline that belonged to some of the ancient races," Looking at the confused look on Henrick's face, the sect leader calmly explained to him; however, inside his heart, he thought, 'Why didn't she explain about all of this to her son?'

Nevertheless, he continued explaining, "But not all people can awaken the ancient bloodline that lies dormant in their bodies and depending on how pure their ancient bloodlines, they were classified as Variants."

"..."

Henrick listened to the sect leader's explanation with a serious expression as he could relate those words to his body.

"If the ancient bloodline in one's body has reached the purity of 50 percent or more than that, then he would be called a Variant," Finally, the sect leader stopped explaining and waited for Henrick to digest his information.

"So….,"

"I didn't finish the explanation yet. Let me complete it first and then you can ask all your questions at once," Before Henrick could say anything he was interrupted by the sect leader Gamos.

"Yes, master," Henrick nodded his head and waited patiently for the sect leader Gamos to complete his explanation.

"These variants awaken some innate skills that belong to the bloodline of the ancient race they have awakened," Sect leader Gamos looked at Henrick and continued, "And you are one of them."

After saying that, he stopped talking and continued to look at Henrick as though he was asking him to start his questions now.

"So, you are saying that I have awakened my ancient bloodline of more than 50 percent?" Nodding his head, Henrick asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Yes," Sect leader Gamos simply nodded his head in agreement.

"Is it a good thing? I mean, I will not change into some ancient monster in the future, right?" All of a sudden, Henrick got a doubt that made him anxious and he hurriedly asked the sect leader about his doubt.

"Haha...You are worried about your appearance?" The sect leader laughed at Henrick's question and thought inside his head, 'Did you really see your father's appearance? 'Devilishly handsome' is the term used by others to describe your father when he awakened his complete bloodline.'

Thinking about Henrick's father, sect leader Gamos felt Henrick's question was the silliest question he had ever heard.

"Judging by your bloodline, I think, once you awaken your complete bloodline you will turn into a hideous monster," Even though the sect leader knew it was not true, he wanted Henrick to panic for some time as revenge for giving him so many shocks and making him anxious.

"What?" Henrick believed the sect master Gamos without any doubts and became anxious.

While feeling anxious, his eyes turned into a bright red-colour once again.

'Shit...I forgot about it,' The sect leader Gamos immediately cursed himself and said, "No no no, I am just joking. You will not become a monster."

He tried his best in calming down Henrick and after a few moments, he was finally able to calm him down.

"You are telling the truth, right? And not saying that just to make me comfortable?" Henrick looked at the sect leader with a worried face as he asked his master.

"I am saying the truth. Your mother must have already said to you that you will become as good looking as your father, right?" Sect leader used Henrick's mother to make him believe his words.

"That's right! My mother mentioned that to me many times...Phew," Henrick heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the sect leader's words; however, Henrick once again asked the sect leader with a worried face, "But, she doesn't know about my bloodline. In fact, she didn't even know about bloodlines and cultivation."

'Who are you kidding, brat. If your parent doesn't know about cultivation and bloodlines, then what I know about cultivation is nothing but shit,'

When he heard Henrick's words, the sect leader Gamos was irritated at Henrick's ignorance about his parents.

Nevertheless, he politely explained with a smile, "You believe me, right? I promise you that you will not turn into a hideous monster,"

However, at the same time, he thought, 'But you will turn into a monster that doesn't even feel anything while killing others.'

Henick is finally convinced by his master's promise and nodded his head.

'Phew...I should do something about his emotions and made him control them; otherwise, he will be hunted by others for the rest of his life just like how his father was hunted,' Sect leader Gamos shook his head and felt a need to do something about Henrick's emotions.

He knew how Henrick's father was hunted down for his bloodline by many old cultivators that were nearing their death.

'I wonder, in whose hands did he die and how got his bloodline,' He felt it was quite a sad ending when he looked at the perspective of a master of a disciple who lost his father.

However, it was all in the past.

'I will help you, my disciple, against those old cultivators,' The sect leader Gamos swore to protect his disciples from any harm.

"So, Master, which ancient race's bloodline did I awaken?" Henrick looked at the sect leader and finally asked him.
