Chapter 142: Bloodline Training
“That is hard to transport, do you really have the means to transport it safely?”
Aiwai didn’t know how Yale planned to transport the Bloodline Fruit Tree, but she was worried that the tree would die.
If they didn’t pick the tree, it didn’t matter id died as it didn’t belong to them, but if they picked it, they needed to be careful, or it would be a waste of effort.
“Don’t worry, as long we reach home in less than an hour there wouldn’t be any problem.”
They weren’t too far from their home as the area covered by the organization wasn’t linear, and Yale had planned the way very well.
“Alright, let’s try to transport it. If I fly without stopping I should be able to barely reach home in time. If the time is almost over, can you take it out and put it again?”
Aiwai had already guessed that Yale had some special place to put the Bloodline Fruit Tree without killing it.
“I don’t know. I never tried to do it; maybe it will work, or maybe the tree will die.”
Yale didn’t try to lie; he didn’t want to lose such a valuable treasure due to avoiding show his lack of knowledge in the matter.
“You should test that with common plants later, it is an important factor. You probably used the same method to hide Wyba and me before, right?”
Yale nodded, even if he denied it there was no way Aiwai would believe it and he had decided to trust in her. Yale wouldn’t reveal his biggest secrets like the system to her, but the Storage Space was something he didn’t mind showing to her as was a good life-saving measure for her and Wyba. Sadly, Yale himself couldn’t enter.
Fortunately, Aiwai rushed enough in their way back, and they reached the house with two spare minutes.
Yale put the tree in a somewhat hidden area near the hot spring; it was valuable, so it was better if it was difficult to locate by outsiders. The only reason they had found the tree before was that Yale knew exactly where it was, a random passerby wouldn’t have been able to find it easily.
They had lost all the day hunting the organization members, so Yale had been unable to train archery or any other weapon, but given that he had seen Aiwai using her archery, he didn’t have the sensation that he had lost his time. Seeing someone as skilled as Aiwai in action was extremely valuable as experience.
Moreover, killing those remnants was necessary to ensure their security; if more groups were to attack them, Yale doubted that all of them would also try to soul-search him and his trump cards were limited.
It was already night after they had returned, Yale went to bath with Aiwai and Wyba without arguing and Aiwai didn’t anger him like the previous day either; both of them followed their agreement from the previous day.
Furthermore, both of them felt more attached to each other after all the things happened that day. To Yale having someone who knew about his past life but also knew about his lack of memories was a relief as he could act more naturally. On the other hand, Yale obtained Aiwai’s complete trust after his actions the previous night.
Wyba also felt that the mood was incredibly better than the previous day and she was very happy with that.
After the dinner, Yale started training his Origin Qi again in the bed, the previous day he hadn’t been able to train a lot due to the interference of the intruders.
The next morning Aiwai seemed very happy because after all the members of her clan and all the remnants from the organization were dead, that made her worries disappear.
Furthermore, in the night she finally reached the Elder Rank, she was still starless, but for her, having crossed that barrier signified a lot.
“Congratulations on reaching the Elder Rank.”
Yale congratulated Aiwai when she let him off, but she seemed a bit pissed by it.
“Thank you, but I really don’t like the name of this rank, calling me elder is like calling me old, and I don’t like that. Let’s forbid the words Elder Rank, calling it Rank 7 will be enough.”
Aiwai didn’t like any word that may imply that she was old. Although in mortal standards calling her an elder wouldn’t be wrong with her age, for someone at the Elder Rank she was still a kid.
She considered herself a young and beautiful woman; she wouldn’t tolerate anyone calling her old or elder. Of course, she didn’t blame Yale as he only said the name of the rank and wasn’t with bad intentions.
Yale was also unable to think about Aiwai as an elder; she looked too young for that. Of course, Yale didn’t know Aiwai’s exact age, nor he planned to ask it, that was too dangerous.
That morning’s breakfast happened without incidents, Yale was wondering if a new premonition would trigger, but nothing happened.
“Sis, can you teach me how to use the bloodline correctly?”
After finishing the breakfast Yale went directly to the point, he wanted to learn how to fly using his bloodline as soon as possible to combine it with his archery.
“Alright, I will teach you now. I should also prepare a formation for Wyba; she should reach the Novice Rank. There is no need for a formation with our bloodlines, but I have a lot of material from yesterday’s hunt, so let’s do it, she will be able to benefit a bit.”
For half-beasts, especially for ones with good bloodlines, formations were almost useless when advancing to the Novice Rank.
However, it wasn’t bad having a formation as it was possible to use that boost to increase the power more than normal. Reaching the 1-star directly as Yale did was a bit exaggerated as Yale’s situation was special and he wasn’t a half-beast either, but getting close to that thanks to the formation was something that may happen with someone at the Elder Rank powering a formation.
Of course, that only applied to good bloodlines, for worse ones they would need better formations and more powerful experts powering the formation to work in the same way.
Aiwai explained Yale some methods to control his bloodline; he should use them until he felt more familiarized with it and couldn’t control it subconsciously.
Yale had a great handicap controlling his bloodline as he wasn’t a real half-beasts. Half-beasts were more sensitive to their bloodlines which sometimes provoked that their animal instincts were stronger, but it also made easier for them using their bloodlines.
Controlling a perfectly integrated bloodline was more difficult than a flawed one, but that was the price for avoiding the secondary effects of the bloodline.
Yale created wings with Shape Shift and started to practice with his bloodline. While he was doing that, Aiwai set a huge formation with Wyba at the center.
“Wyba, you now have to breakthrough. You are already at the peak of the Mortal Rank, reaching the Novice Rank should be easy as long as you try it. Look, your brother is already at the 4-star Novice.”
Aiwai felt that even if Yale was a reincarnated expert, his body limitations were the same a Wyba’s, so if he was able to advance, Wyba should also be able to it.
Aiwai’s idea was wrong because Yale and Wyba weren’t true twins nor had the same age, they weren’t even from the same species, but Yale also felt that Wyba should be ready to advance, she was just too lazy to train.
Wyba was free from any bloodline restriction as long as her realm was lower than Yale’s, she could improve a lot since Yale was already at the 4-star Novice.
Aiwai was more worried for Yale than for Wyba. Wyba would end making her breakthrough, but she felt that Yale was just too bad with his bloodline control, her first impression was that Yale was unable even to summon the wings.
Aiwai felt that she had underestimated Yale when she saw his wings. That was only her misconception because Yale was really unable to summon any wings as he wasn’t a half-beast, he created them with Shape Shift. However, even if he were a half-beast, with his degree of control, he would still be unable to summon them.
Humans were bad controlling their bloodlines, and that applied to even those from the noble clans in the Revgen Empire. Thus, Yale felt that if he learned to control his Frost Winged Wolf bloodline, it would also help him to control his other bloodline later.
