After receiving the letter of acceptance from the Ernst Institute, Linley, Leo, and Hillman immediately returned to Wushan township, intending to inform Hogg of this matter as soon as possible.
At this moment, Wushan township. Within the Baruch clan estate.
Hogg had just finished his lunch and was sitting on a recliner outside the living room, leisurely reading a book.
Three figures quickly entered the mansion. It was Leo and the other two who had rushed back from Fenlai City. In contrast to Leo's calmness, Linley and Hillman still had an unconcealable excitement on their faces. Linley shouted from afar,"Father, I'm back."
"Lord Hogg." Hillman was also very excited.
Hogg raised his head. Seeing the excited expressions on Linley and Hillman's faces, he had a hunch. He immediately stood up and looked at Linley, Leo, and Hillman. With a trembling voice, he asked,"How was the magic test?"
"Lord Hogg, the Ernst Institute. It's the Ernst Institute. Linley and Leo have been accepted into the Ernst Institute.”Hillman said excitedly.
Hogg seemed to have been petrified. At this moment, Hogg felt as if his mind had gone blank, as if he had run out of oxygen.
"Lord Hogg?" Hillman called out twice.
Hogg, who had gradually recovered his ability to think, looked at Hillman with rapid breathing. He asked in disbelief,"Ernst, you mean the Ernst Institute?”Hogg's eyes were wide open.
"Father, this is the acceptance letter from the Ernst Institute.”Linley handed the red letter to his father, while Leo handed his own letter of acceptance to Hogg. Hogg was startled for a moment, then quickly took the red letter and opened it. He held his breath and carefully looked at the admission notice inside the envelope.
"Haha, hahahaha. Ancestors of the Baruch clan, our clan has hope!”Hogg suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly. He laughed so hard that his entire body was trembling, and tears flowed down his face.”
"Hillman, Uncle Hiri!" Hogg looked at the two of them." Tonight, I'm going to hold a feast. Hurry up and prepare well. I'm happy today, very happy. With these two sons, even if I die, I will be able to face the ancestors of the Baruch clan.”
"Yes, Lord Hogg." Hillman and Housekeeper Hiri replied.
At night, the Baruch clan was extremely lively. Even the ten-some guards of the clan, as well as their family members, had been invited over. In the empty space in the front yard of the Baruch clan, five tables had been set up, and the entire Baruch clan estate was filled with laughter.
Late at night, in the Baruch clan's main hall, there were only Linley, Leo, and Hogg.
The door of the sect hall was closed, and the entire sect hall was lit with a row of candles, making it warmer. At this moment, Hogg looked at the rows of memorial tablets in front of the temple hall and said in a low voice,"Linley, ever since the birth of the fifth Dragonblood Warrior, our Baruch clan has been in decline, generation after generation. In fact, our Baruch clan's heirloom was even sold off…every time I think of this, I feel incomparably humiliated.”
Then Hogg's expression kept changing as he looked at Leo."Leo, your coma when you were young really scared us, so I've always hoped that you can live a safe life. However, since you have chosen this path, I won't stop you. Every descendant of our Dragonblood Warrior clan has to be tested for the density of their bloodline at the age of six. At that time, you were still unconscious, so you weren't able to take the test in time.”
"Leo, wait a moment. I'll go get the Dragon Blood Needle.”Hogg then walked towards the secret chamber behind the temple hall.
In just a short while, Hogg was holding an extremely thin, transparent needle that was nearly twenty centimeters long. He walked out of the secret chamber behind the main hall.
"Alright. Leo, the tip of the needle only pierced the skin lightly. It didn't hurt.”Hogg said with a smile. Leo nodded, then took a deep breath and stretched out his right hand nervously. His slightly trembling right hand also reflected Leo's nervousness.
Because Hogg had never mentioned the bloodline to Leo, Leo thought that Hogg had tested him when he was unconscious, and the results were not good. But now, it seemed that Hogg hadn't helped him test his bloodline at all. In other words, he still had hope of becoming a purebred Dragonblood Warrior. After all, reaching the standard of a Dragonblood Warrior's potential was much greater than drinking Dragonblood to transform.
It wasn't just Ley. In truth, even Linley and Hogg were very nervous.
"Bear with it." The transparent Dragon Blood Needle in Hogg's hand. It gently pierced Leo's right index finger, easily piercing the skin. Leo felt a piercing pain, and the Dragon Blood Needle turned from transparent to red.
Hogg immediately placed the Dragon Blood Needle in front of his eyes, trembling, and carefully observed it.
Soon, Hogg's entire body trembled."Ancestor, bless us! Our Baruch clan can finally produce another Supreme Warrior! I never thought that in my lifetime, I would be able to see a Dragonblood Warrior appear in my clan…the Baruch clan is finally going to rise!”
"My bloodline has reached the standard!" The nearby Linley looked excitedly at Leo as well.”
"Linley, Leo." Hogg suddenly turned around and solemnly looked at the two of them." From today onwards, I will no longer view you as children, but as the pillars of the future of my Baruch clan! The future of the family depends on you. Especially Leo. I won't spoil you like I used to.”
"Yes, Father." Linley nodded firmly.
"Yes!" Leo nodded.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get something.”Hogg suddenly turned and walked towards a secret room within the temple hall. A short while later, Hogg came out with two books.”
"What is this?" Puzzled, Linley accepted the book. There were no words on the surface of the book, but when he flipped through it, he saw that the first page had the words: Secret Dragonblood Manual.
"Leo, come with me outside and try to practice.”Then, Hogg handed the other copy of the Secret Dragonblood Manual to Leo." I can't wait to see the appearance of the Dragon Blood Warrior!”
Walking out of the clan's ancestral hall, Leo immediately sat down cross-legged on the grass and began to cultivate according to the method of activating the bloodline recorded in the Secret Dragonblood Manual.
"Chi chi-"
Intense pain spread throughout Leo's body. Leo raised his head in pain and roared. Then, green scales strangely appeared on the surface of his skin.
The pain made Leo growl in a low voice. Sweat seeped out of his body, and green scales appeared all over his body.
Linley and Hogg, who were watching from the side, were both feeling incomparably nervous.
Almost instantly, green dragon scales covered Leo's body. A dragon horn popped out from his forehead, and a green dragon tail swung. Then, a large amount of elements drilled into Leo's body.
"Phew!" After completing the transformation, Leo took a deep breath." It's amazing. This Azure Dragon Bloodline is really amazing. Now, the elements of heaven and earth are cooperating with the Azure Dragon Bloodline to continuously transform my body. This feeling of constantly becoming stronger is really refreshing!”
Soon, the elements that poured into his body began to weaken until they completely dissipated, and the transformation of Leo's body by the dragon blood was completed. With a thought, Leo immediately dispelled his transformation.
Doehring Cowart, who had appeared at Linley's side at some point, looked at Leo, who had transformed into a Dragonoid."How strange. They hadn't expected that Linley, Leo, and the others 'ancestor, Baruch, would have the ability to Dragonform. It was strange. It seemed that besides the Dragonblood Warriors, there were three other Supreme Warriors. When I was alive, these four Supreme Warriors didn't even exist. Not long after I died, these four Supreme Warriors appeared at the same time.”
"How about it, Leo?" Hogg saw Leo disperse his transformation and immediately walked over to ask nervously.
"Very good, so powerful!" Leo reached out his right hand, and green combat qi covered his entire palm. Then, green dragon scales covered his entire palm, and his entire palm turned into a dragon claw." I feel like I've reached the level of a level-six warrior even if I don't use Dragonform!”
"Oh? If he could become a warrior of the sixth rank even without Dragonforming, wouldn't he become a warrior of the eighth rank after Dragonforming? It was said that the first Dragonform of a Dragon Blood Warrior would transform the body. However, he did not expect the effect to be so shocking!”Hogg was shocked." Leo, try to attack me with your normal body!”
"Huh?" Leo was shocked.
"What? Are you afraid that I can't beat you?" Hogg laughed, and then took off his long robe, revealing his back and muscular body." Although my bloodline is insufficient, I'm still a warrior of the sixth rank! Come on!"
"Then, be careful!" Leo said, and then he took a few big steps forward to Hogg's side and punched him.
Hogg's close combat ability was not something Leo, a rookie who was fighting for the first time, could compare to. Hogg moved his body to the side and dodged Leo's attack. Then, he pushed Leo, who couldn't react in time, and fell to the ground.
"This is…" Leo noticed that Hogg's attack was similar to the Tai Chi from his previous life." This is like using four taels to deflect a thousand pounds…The reason why I fell was because my strength was used the moment I attacked…"
The more Leo thought about it, the more excited he became. He quickly stood up and continued to attack Hogg. At the same time, he carefully observed Hogg's movements with his spiritual power.
As his attacks continued to suffer, Leo was also improving rapidly. Suddenly, Leo's eyes lit up as if he had sensed the truth of the world. His movements slowly began to change. Just like the Taiji Fist in his previous life, the originally fierce and inflexible movements slowly softened…
After sensing Leo's reaction, Hogg felt more and more pressured."Linley, quickly go and get Hillman!”
"Grandpa Doehring, what happened to Leo?" Linley asked on the way.”
"This is an epiphany, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Leo!”Doehring laughed in his heart." Your father also saw this, but his ability is limited and he can't continue to help Leo improve. That's why he told you to call Hillman over!”
……………………
When Hillman arrived, he saw Leo attacking Hogg with slow movements, but Hogg had no strength to fight back. Seeing this, Hillman immediately joined the battle.
…………………
After a while, Hillman and Hogg collapsed to the ground, while Leo closed his eyes."The highest kindness is like water. Water is good at benefiting all things, but it does not compete with others. It is in a place that everyone hates, so it is close to the Tao. Living in a good place, the heart is good, the heart is good. As long as you don't fight, there's no fault..."
Leo, who was originally in the Sanctuary-realm, recalled the classics he had read in his previous life after this epiphany. Countless insights suddenly appeared in his heart. Then, countless water elements in the world began to gather toward Leo.
"What a powerful comprehension ability!" Doehring Cowart appeared next to Linley, a look of shock on his face."This epiphany actually allowed him to gain insights into the Laws of Water! This way, the biggest obstacle to advancing to Saint-level would be gone!”
"Laws?" Linley asked, puzzled.
"That's right. After reaching the Saint-level, one's strength will be determined by one's comprehension of the Laws!”Doehring Cowart sighed." But Leo, an eight-year-old child who hasn't even reached the Sanctuary-realm yet, has already comprehended the laws. He's really a monster!”
"Hogg, what's going on? How did Leo suddenly become so strong?" Hillman, who was panting, asked. He had fought Leo the moment he arrived, so he didn't have time to figure things out.
"Sigh! I didn't expect him to improve so quickly. At first, he was far from being a match for me, but then he continued to improve. In the end, not long after, I couldn't hold on any longer, so I could only ask Linley to come and ask you for help.”Hogg smiled bitterly." But looking at him, he looks like the legendary epiphany!”
"An epiphany!" Hillman said in shock. It must be understood that although epiphanies were rare, in the many years of the Yulan continent's history, there had been no lack of legends of epiphanies. There was a saying in the legends that one would be able to fly straight to the Saint Domain after an epiphany.
