“What next, Gaia? I want to review everything before venturing inside. I have loads of things to do, and now that you have awakened, we have to do them with haste.” Kent was happy, but he wasn’t about to slack off while he still had a dangerous quest to accept.
He wanted to have all the fun before things went haywire.
[The master has reviewed all the towers, but getting hands-on experience will be great. However, the master must first know that the tower relies on Tower Points, so having loads of them would be beneficial.
Before you ask, tower points are like the soul essence the tower depends on to function. Now, let’s focus on your bloodline.]
Kent nodded and returned his gaze to the messages that had appeared before him.
________
[Bloodline Awakening Initiated… Your bloodline has begun its awakening.]
[Current Progress: 5%]
[Because your bloodline has started awakening, your physique has also begun to undergo some changes. As your bloodline awakening progress increases, so will your physique.]
________
“Wait a minute, Gaia. Am I a human or a dragon?” Kent had to ask. Right now, he could feel the changes in his body. He could feel the strength coursing through him.
Also, for some reason, he felt he was no longer human—or at least that was the sensation coming from deep within his bones.
It wasn’t a feeling he could just brush off. Of course, he was waiting to finish reviewing all the messages, but now that this had come up, he had to address it.
[Kekeke. The master is indeed not a human but a one-of-a-kind dragon. Your bloodline is pure and untainted, so the changes starting within you are your bloodline rebuilding your body. It will take some time, but one day, you will become a full-fledged dragon.
For now, only a few changes have occurred, but it is enough to make you understand the power of your bloodline.]
“I see.” Kent smiled. He looked at his arm, and with a thought, dark golden scales started appearing on it, signaling that he was indeed a dragon—well, a demi-dragon.
“Say, Gaia, how much of a boost in strength did I receive after the awakening of my bloodline started?”
[Your strength has increased by 120% when in your human form and 220% if you switch to your demi-dragon form.]
“Great. Then I guess I can take on Root Sages now.” Kent’s smile bloomed. He couldn’t help but picture the scene he saw when he killed the dark-robed lady in Mokasa Prison.
[The master shouldn’t get ahead of himself. This is a cultivation world; there are many hidden dragons out there. For now, the master should increase his strength by Gaining battle experience.
Thankfully, I can help with that. But it will be best to go against humans.]
“I know, Gaia. I will be going back to the academy soon with my master. There is more fun to be had,” Kent replied before turning to the next set of messages.
________
[You have unlocked the following skills and abilities]
<Dragon Claw>
— Turn your hands into dragons claws that can be used in combat.
— All attacks dealt with the dragon claws deal 150% damage.
— The dragon claws ignore 45% of defenses and deal true damage.
<Dragon Scale>
— You can now conjure dragon scales on your skin that temporarily boost defense by 200%
— The dragon’s scales cancel 50% of all physical attacks.
<Dragon Health>
— Your recovery speed has been boosted by 130%.
<Dragon Presense>
— When using your dragon form against inferior beings, they will receive a 30% debuff
________
“Damn, these are some powerful abilities I have here,” Kent smiled. There was no doubt the current him felt like a Root Sage had nothing on him.
The buffs he had received were just too much for a Root Sage to contend with. Of course, as the tower said, he shouldn’t look down on anyone.
However, he could tell just by reading this that his strength had transcended to a new height.
‘Are all dragons this powerful?’ He couldn’t help but wonder. If 5% was this terrifying, then how much more powerful would he become when it reached 100%?
[All beings that manage to awaken their bloodlines are powerful, even humans. However, there are indeed some beings with bloodlines that transcend the average. These beings are automatically superior.
For example, the lady sleeping beside you has a unique bloodline that will awaken when you add her to your harem and invoke her true name.
In fact, I can’t wait to see what changes will happen to her once she awakens her potential.]
Kent turned and looked at the naked mother-in-law beside him and smiled. The tower, even before her awakening, had already told him she possessed rather potent yin qi for someone at her level.
‘Let me finish first,’ Kent turned back to the tower with a smile.
“Gaia, before anything else, I first want to know how I can increase my bloodline. Before this, I was a little scared about the whole ‘keys of the apocalypse’ thing, but now, I feel like all hope is not lost. So, I want to know how I can increase the progress.”
Since just 5% of his bloodline was this terrifying, he wanted to ensure he could increase it. It would be great if he didn’t die in this medium world.
[There are many ways to increase your bloodline. One of them is through sex. The stronger the lady, the higher your chances of increasing your bloodline.
Another way is to absorb potent treasures that contain high-level spiritual energy. Since I am now in operation, I will be able to use it to enhance your bloodline.
Another method is to kill powerful spirit beasts and absorb their bloodline. This will not only increase your already powerful bloodline but will also advance your progress level.
Additionally, you could go berserk and kill dragons to absorb their bloodlines. This is perhaps a more efficient way since all dragons are arrogant and quick to attack. Finding more to kill won’t be a problem.
However, the fastest way is to become a Pill Sage, which will allow you to concoct bloodline-related pills. Tier 7 pills and above will significantly increase your bloodline.
Lastly, tempering your body will do more good than you think. In fact, with the grade of your bloodline, simply leveling up will have a noticeable effect on it.
You just have to never give up and keep rising.]
“I see. Aside from going on a killing spree among my kind, I’ll stick with the other ways,” Kent laughed, knowing what Gaia said was true. Through mass genocide of his kind, his progress would accelerate much faster.
Right now, as a human becoming a dragon, he knew he’d have to do more if he wanted to rise through the ranks. He needed to increase his bloodline, cultivation base, and everything else.
It wouldn’t be easy. However, he wouldn’t have to do too much with the tower by his side.
“Gaia, you said the grade of my bloodline is high. Care to share more?”
[The master possesses a Celestial/Primordial-grade bloodline—the highest level a bloodline can reach in this known universe.]
