In the Basement of a small villa, Leylin was standing alone over the corpses of two Acolyte. The whole scene was a bloody mess.
Leylin massaged his temples, and a blue glow could be seen in his eyes. “A.I. Chip! Scan my stats! Bring out my current condition!”
[Beep! Gathering Host data!]
Very soon, the A.I. Chip brought out Leylin’s stats. [Beep! Leylin Farlier. Level 3 Acolyte.Grand knight. Strength: 7.9, Agility: 5.9, Vitality: 7.7, Spiritual force: 15.8, Magic power: 15 (magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force). Status: In the middle of forming 72 meridian points and cultivating in Kemoyin’s Pupil meditation technique, spiritual force in purification!]
Back at the academy, after using the A.I. Chip to analyse the Kemoyin’s Pupil meditation technique completely, Leylin had begun to adjust his own meditation technique and practice the high-grade meditation technique.
The Kemoyin’s Pupil meditation technique that he had obtained had a total of three levels. With each increase in level, the technique would automatically advance the Warlock’s rank.
Previously, Leylin delayed using the bloodline of Gaint Kemoyin Serpent , Now that he has confirmed his theory, he is going to release the Stored ‘Sentient Force’ in his dantain and form 72 Meridian along with bloodline transfer.
His body has very few impurities within his spiritual force, because of not been boosted in the past by potions, Which enhanced the process of meditation.
As an acolyte, it was the foundation on the path towards being a Magus. The more solid one’s foundation was, the further one could walk down the path of a Magus in future.
As for now, under the Kemoyin’s Pupil meditation technique’s influence, his spiritual force was continuously being purified, heading towards a better development.
“The requirement for an acolyte to be able to advance is a spiritual force of 15. The requirements for Warlocks and official Magi are almost the same, with only the additional requirement of a bloodline!
Leylin inspected the spell formation again.
“A.I. Chip! Scan and inspect the bloodline transfer spell formation again!”
Following his command, a strong glow of blue light appeared in Leylin’s eyes as it scanned the formation.
This concerned Leylin’s future, so he had to be particularly cautious.
Leylin had confirmed that everything was in order and that he had not missed anything, but did not, however, begin to rush through the bottleneck.
Leylin sat cross-legged, with the help of A. I. Chip he started to use the Dantain force, creating 72 Meridian points in the most important location of the body sorted out by researching on the Two Acolyte.
Leylin used the Humongous amount of Sentient Force that he has collected from Black Horrall snake and started the process.
If this process is successful, he will be able to refine the bloodline in his body by making use of sentient force itself.
Leylin wish to create a channel connecting the Dantain to Meridian Points which will in turn refine the blood.
A intense pain shoot up his body, Leylin gritted his teeth and blood started to foam from his mouth. He felt as though someone is thrusting 72 Sword through his body, He body kept twitching.
Slowly Leylin felt 72 small beads forming in his body connecting into a small network. Leylin snapped open his eyes which were blood red. After giving the formation and potions one final check, a resolved expression appeared within Leylin’s eyes.
“Let us begin!”
*Pa!* The buttons on the white robes came undone as it slid to the floor.
Leylin was stark naked as he walked towards the centre of the scarlet formation, sitting down on the black stone platform.
The black stone platform was made of bright black stones. A feeling of chilliness emanated through Leylin’s skin, giving him goosebumps.
Leylin picked up a black dagger, the tip of the blade giving off a sharp coldness to it.
Leylin’s expression turned vicious as he cut himself on his body.
*Pu!* Blood gushed out.
His expression was unchanging, and the hand that held the dagger did not quiver. In a mysterious sequence, the black dagger began to cut all over his body.
Every time the black dagger drew across Leylin’s body, it would leave a bloody wound from where blood continuously dripped.
At the very end, from his stomach to his forehead, there was a mystical triangular shaped rune on Leylin’s body.
The blood that poured forth continuously from his skin looked extremely eerie and mysterious.
*Di Da!* *Di Da!*
The blood that flowed down from his body was collected by the grooves on the black stone platform, beginning to converge while following the grooves, and flowed towards the formation below the platform.
*Bang!*
Under the influence of the blood, the scarlet spell formation radiated a dozen times brighter.
The powerful flash of light brought forth a strong energy wave, which continuously radiated to the four walls of the villa.
At this moment, on the four walls of the basement, magical blue runes began to absorb the energy waves that leaked from the spell formation.
The scarlet coloured turned brighter and brighter, before finally engulfing the entire room.
In this blood red world, a layer of black smoke suddenly appeared, continuously changing shape in midair.
“Abiding by the ancient contract, my strength will now be that of the bloodline!
After seeing the black shadow, Leylin moved his lips and chanted in the Byron language.
*Weng Weng!*
After Leylin had chanted the incantation, the thick black smoke attached itself to Leylin’s body, and the triangular shaped wounds began to gleam in a grim black light.
Leylin shivered as an extremely strange iciness began to charge to his nerves.
After it had frozen to the extremes, a burning sensation seemed to set all of the cells on his body ablaze.
[Warning! Warning! Mysterious energy discovered infiltrating and beginning to consume copious amounts of the Host’s lifeforce. Use the Host’s own magic power to dispel?]
A row of words in red appeared.
“Deny!” Leylin gritted his teeth.
Along with the continuous burning of his body, he could distinctly feel that his spiritual force was increasing at a crazy rate.
It was constantly drawing nearer to the boundary of an official Magus.
“It’s now!”
Leylin picked up the vulcanised crystal test tube containing the Kemoyin bloodline and poured the purple-red blood on his wounds.
*Hua La La!*
The purple-red blood landed on Leylin’s body. It began to wiggle, as if having its own life, and turned into an innumerable amount of little snakes that drilled through Leylin’s wounds.
“Arghhh!” Leylin’s eyes were popping out as the muscles on his face contorted.
An extremely frightening agony constantly grated on his nerves, even turning his vision blurry.All 72 small beads were stimulated and like the bottomless pit of Abyss started to crazily devour The Bloodline with Leylin own blood and in turn releasing a pulse of Refined Crimson red blood.
At that moment where he lost consciousness, Leylin only knew to follow the method of the Kemoyin’s Pupil meditation technique, as he began to attempt to break through to a Warlock.
Time passed, and very soon, it was the morning of the second day.
The scarlet light grew stronger, and even the blue runes on the wall produced creaking noises as if they were unable to endure any longer.
Leylin had a very long dream.
In his dream, he was an incredibly tiny snake that constantly hid and snuck around, learning the methods of hunting prey.
The surroundings were up in flames. What surrounded him were simply lava and black boiling stones. The sight ahead was also a fiery-red.
As for him, he gradually grew up, going from sneaking around to avoid enemies, to being a natural predator at the top of the food chain.
No matter how many ferocious or horrifying creatures there were out there, they could only accept death in front of him while he swallowed them.
Leylin constantly changed his territory. One day, he arrived at another location.
That place was filled with the same species as him. Deep in his heart, there was a feeling of longing, which made him press on and climb deeper in.
As he went deeper in, Leylin could feel that the aura of the stronger members of his species increased. Just the aura radiating off of some of them was enough to leave Leylin with a feeling of suffocation.
Moreover, the surrounding flames and sulphur rapidly disappeared. What took its place was pitch-black darkness.
This darkness had countless shadows, yet it gave him a sense of security as if he was returning to his parent’s body.
In the centre of the darkness, he could finally see.
What he saw was a giant ball of snakes, which seemed to cover the sky’s horizon. It seemed to be a planet in the universe, eternal yet mighty. Every giant snake in the ball had strength surpassing his imagination.
“Hissssss!”
Leylin flicked his tongue out, letting off a hiss that was only produced by snakes.
The giant ball of snakes opened, revealing the figure of a black haired woman.
This black haired woman had an exceptionally charming feature. Her eyes had vertical slits for pupils and looked as if they were made of a ceramic glaze that would let one see through to its bottom. She also had hair that writhed continuously, as if they were tiny snakes.
The hair, which seemed to look like snakes, also gave her another layer of mysterious allure.
“You have come!” The woman opened her mouth, her voice ringing within Leylin’s heart. The language spoken was extremely strange and Leylin hadn’t heard of it before, yet he still understood it.
Suddenly Leylin felt a pulse of energy and the scene changed, There he was hailing like an emperor, countless creatures of innumerable types worshipping his presence and Might. He was an unrivalled Sovereign Ruling all with a iron Fist.
Just as Leylin was about to speak out, a flash of bright light appeared in his vision.
He reached out to shield from the light and realised that his hand was that of a human’s. Only then, he realised that he had woken up from his slumber.
“I recall it now; I’m Leylin, who was completing the ceremony of transferring a bloodline to break through a bottleneck.
The life in his dream, which had seemed to be the reality, appeared in Leylin’s mind. For a moment, it made him think that he wasn’t human.
It seemed as if his reality had had been obscured by a veil- nothing could be seen clearly.
Slowly, large amounts of memories surfaced in his mind.
“The reinforced Barrier is almost destroyed?” Leylin looked at the construction which was close to collapsing, it was barely holding up.
With Leylin at the centre, the surroundings were in a mess.
“It seems like even though I properly estimated the Disturbance of Advancing, I underestimated my own Strength…”
At this moment, he was stark naked, but Leylin could feel an intensifying strength under his skin. Moreover, his spiritual force had significantly increased from before.
Leylin, somewhat unsettled, delved into the sea of his consciousness.
At this moment, his sea of consciousness was filled with a scarlet light, turning the space into a patch of redness. He could sense a network of Pale Weave connecting all of his body.
At the centremost was a spell formation that had an octagonal crystal, floating quietly in the space.
The power that he felt from inside to outside continuously emanated throughout his whole body.
After he sensed the innate spell inside the crystal, Leylin grinned as he knew he had successfully advanced into an official Magus!
“A.I. chip, bring out the previous monitor record!”
[Detected traces of suitable composition for Host’s absorption! Determined to be the blood essence of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent! Beginning absorption] [Blood essence burning! Host spiritual force increases significantly!]
…
[Successful completion of the first level of the Kemoyin’s Pupil! Host advances into a rank 1 Warlock! Various stats have been greatly boosted!] [New scanning of Host’s data…] [Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 1 Warlock, Bloodline: Giant Kemoyin Serpent.Saint Knight Strength: 11.3, Agility: 10.7, Vitality: 13.1, Spiritual force: 36.9, Magic power: 36 (magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force). Status: Healthy]
The A.I. Chip duly reflected the data in front of Leylin.
“There is actually such a great increase, no wonder I feel different. Even my physical figure has been enhanced and my strength has increased!”
Leylin clenched his fist and punched, emitting a shrill air explosion in the air.
“Right now my body is not inferior to that of any powerful creatures!”
Leylin looked at his chest. The appearance did not change much, only that his skin looked even glossier. His abs were well defined, yet not too protruding, maintaining a fine balance.
