The Mystery of Bloodline
"The system says that my bloodline is assessed to be four stars."
After saying that, Xia Fei suddenly realized that the old demon lord was looking at him with a very strange gaze, as if he was looking at a monster.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is a four-star bloodline that bad? "Xia Fei asked with furrowed brows.
The old demon lord took a deep breath, doing his best to suppress the shock in his heart.
"What did the system say exactly?"
Xia Fei thought for a moment before replying, "Seventh brain region fully opened. First activation requirement met."
"Bloodline assessment: four-star, second activation requirement met."
"Perception, intelligence, perseverance, memory, and charm. Overall score: 28. Evaluation: three-star, third activation requirement met."
"Three Great Laws test complete. Heritage Planet entering activation state. Estimated time of two minutes and fourteen seconds."
"After saying all that, I was inexplicably sent to Heritage Planet, struggling for an entire year before I could return." Xia Fei shrugged. His memory was not bad, and he was able to repeat the exact words the system had said.
The old demon lord fell silent, his eyebrows twitching in amusement.
A few moments later, Oro asked about the situation of Heritage Planet.
Originally, Xia Fei could not tell anyone else about it, for he had been implanted with a gene lock on Heritage Planet. The moment he told anyone the secret of Heritage Planet, he would immediately bleed from all seven orifices and die. However, Xia Fei was now a Law Warrior, so the gene lock had been removed.
Speaking of which, Xia Fei being sent to Heritage Planet was definitely an accident. The family that had established that Heritage Planet had long perished, and logically speaking, the opportunity to enter Heritage Planet was extremely beneficial to warriors. Not only could they temper their bodies, but they could also learn the basics of Law.
Alas, Xia Fei discovered that he was all alone when he got there, and he had no choice but to rely on himself to fight his way out of that dangerous situation. In the end, all he obtained was the auxiliary ability control.
It was a blessing in disguise, and it was precisely this lonely and dangerous experience that made Xia Fei more mature and more determined.
It was as if Xia Fei was destined to be a traitor for the rest of his life, walking a path that was overgrown with weeds, a path that no one had ever taken before. Even his trip to Heritage Planet had to be different. It was likely that Xia Fei was the only person in this world who had gone to Heritage Planet and returned alone.
Oro slapped his thigh and laughed maniacally after hearing Xia Fei's story. "Interesting! Truly interesting! Our Lionhearts also have that Heritage Planet you mentioned, though the name is a little different. Our warriors will slowly learn under the guidance of specialized instructors, but you, on the other hand, go to Heritage Planet to fight, and you'll be fighting for an entire year!"
Xia Fei pursed his lips. "That planet is already abandoned. What can I do?"
"Then where did you get your support ability?"
"By the end, there were practically no enemies left on Heritage Planet. The system judged that I passed and gave me my reward," Xia Fei answered.
"You mean to say that you cleared a Heritage Planet all by yourself without anyone's guidance or help?" Oro blinked as he asked.
"Perhaps." Xia Fei did not use a firm tone. He had only done one thing in that one year, and that was to fight. He did not know anything else.
"No wonder you have such rich combat experience at such a young age. This has something to do with what you've gone through in the past. Not just anyone can clear a path to a Heritage Planet by themselves. Though no one taught you the basics of law, you've accumulated experience that no one else has," Oro mused.
"Then what's with the four-star bloodline?" Xia Fei asked.
"What's the name of your home?"
"Earth."
"Are there many high-rank ability users on Earth?" Oro stared at Xia Fei, his eyes burning.
"There aren't any high-rank ones. Even beginner ability users are pitifully few," Xia Fei answered honestly.
Oro laughed heartily. "That's right. You yourself said that Heritage Planet was abandoned, so there's a chance that the Three Great Laws might be wrong."
"Are you saying that there's a system error?"
"It must be a system error," Oro said with certainty.
"Why do you say so?"
"You'll understand once I explain it to you. Us Lionhearts are considered two-star bloodlines, while the royals are considered three-star due to our unique bloodline. If Earth really had a four-star bloodline, I'm afraid there would be Law Emperors all over the place!" Oro rubbed his chin as he explained.
Oro was still very confident in his royal bloodline. If Xia Fei said that he had a three-star bloodline, Oro might very well believe him. After all, Xia Fei's potential was there for all to see, and it could not be faked.
As for a four-star bloodline, Oro absolutely could not believe it. It was not that the Law Realm did not have four-star bloodlines, but that those existences were all monsters!
No matter what, Oro was unwilling to believe the authenticity of the bloodline test. Xia Fei nodded after some thought. "What you said makes sense. The Lionheart royals only have a three-star bloodline, so how could Earth have a four-star bloodline?"
"Actually, I don't care how many stars my bloodline is." Xia Fei stood up and looked ahead. "That's because I'm me, and I only want to be myself!"
His voice was not loud, but it was filled with pride!
Oro's two eyes shone brightly, and Xia Fei's figure suddenly grew larger.
…
The atmosphere in Hyacinth's house was a little awkward.
Xia Fei had killed the Shepherdian chieftain, Colin, in front of everyone, and they were all excited, but they could not understand what happened next. This was because Xia Fei had used his spatial compass to leave right after he had done all that!
Xia Fei had saved Hyacinth's tribesmen and killed his enemies. This was a huge favor, so why did he leave without a word?
Hyacinth could not understand this, and Seth was even more confused. He had become a masterless slave in the blink of an eye, and what was even more tragic was that the restriction on him had not been lifted, so he was still a slave.
Seth was resting in the guest room in a depressed mood. Now that things had come to this, there was nothing else he could do but wait for Xia Fei's return. If Xia Fei did not return for a day, then he would have to wait for another day, and if he did not return for a year, then he would have to wait for a year!
Hyacinth and his father, Otter, were sitting in the study, discussing matters related to Xia Fei. Xia Fei had killed Colin, so the rest of the matter was much simpler. With a large group of people charging in, the thousand-odd Shepherdian warriors that Colin had brought with him were utterly defeated, as well as exterminating their opponents while paying a small price.
The reinforcements that they had invited at the last minute had already left, and the Purple Blooded Rockies had sent over a new guard. After all, Hyacinth was the face of the Purple Blooded Tribe, and if anything were to happen to him, the entire Purple Blooded Tribe would be affected.
Anyone who came to help, be it a mercenary group or an individual, received a bounty from Hyacinth. Of course, the bounty was only secondary. What these people valued the most was Hyacinth's friendship. If there was truly a need for Hyacinth to step forward in the future, Hyacinth would definitely not reject these friends who had helped him.
"I had insomnia again last night," Otter said as he massaged his temples.
Hyacinth was slightly taken aback, hurriedly handing over a cup of tea in concern. "Just what is it that has you so worried?"
Otter took the teacup and took a sip, sighing. "Isn't it all because of Ah Fei? We've already thanked all the reinforcements that came, but he's the only one we can't afford to repay."
Hyacinth let out a bitter laugh. "That's right. If not for Brother Ah Fei, the three hundred or so old, weak, women, and children of our tribe would all be in the netherworld. That's indeed a huge favor."
"That's not all. Don't forget that we lost the true-fake round, and we still owe Ah Fei three lives."
Saying this, Hyacinth and Otter sighed at the same time. It was one thing for them to be unable to defeat Xia Fei, but they had also lost the true-fake round to him. This was the first time in twenty-five years that Hyacinth had turned so pale, and every member of the tribe could not help but sigh.
"That's why I've come to discuss with you. If Ah Fei returns, how are we going to repay this favor?" Otter leaned back, stroking his beard as he spoke.
That was when his daughter-in-law, Poria, came in with a plate of fruits. She happened to hear Otter's words, so she put down the plate and said, "What Daddy said is indeed a problem. You might not know this, but the elders, women, and children in the tribe all have a very good impression of Ah Fei, including Sakura. Sakura has been sitting at the door for the past few days, waiting for Ah Fei to return.
"I think that Ah Fei is a very loyal person, and he's also an outstanding person. Back then, when he said that he wanted to gamble with his life, it was probably just something he said out of anger. We just need to repay him well, and he probably won't really come after us for our lives.
We mustn't make any more mistakes, "Poria said as she glanced at Hyacinth. She was afraid that Hyacinth would go all the way and find someone to kill Xia Fei. That would be much easier, and they would not have to worry about Xia Fei making any excessive demands, but the elders and children whom Xia Fei had saved would definitely not agree to it.
This was especially so for those old folks, who were all elders of the Purpleblood Tribe. If they were to blame someone, Hyacinth's family would probably find it very difficult to establish themselves in the Exiled Grounds.
Hyacinth furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you saying? I, Hyacinth, have been in the Exiled Grounds for so many years, and when have I ever been unprincipled? Since Ah Fei has done us a favor, it's only right for us to repay him. Aren't I discussing this with my father right now? "
Otter also understood what Poria was getting at, so he said, "That's right. We're discussing how to thank him."
If Xia Fei had only forced Hyacinth to work for him, these people might have taken over, but they would not have done so wholeheartedly.
But the situation was vastly different now. Xia Fei had saved over three hundred people in the tribe, and even without him saying anything, Hyacinth was already thinking about how he could repay him, eager to repay this huge favor. If he really did it, he would definitely do his best, and the results would be far better than Xia Fei hiring them with money or pressuring them with a gamble.
The way of managing people emphasized on both kindness and power. Saving someone was kindness, and winning against Hyacinth was power. Only when the two intersected could they produce the best chemical effect.
Poria put down her fruit and did not leave, instead taking a seat by the side.
"Brother Hyacinth, Father, I do have an idea on how to repay this favor."
"Oh, then why don't you tell us how we can repay this favor?" Otter hurriedly asked. He had been so worried about this matter that he could not sleep, so hearing that Poria had an idea, he wanted to hear it.
"You see, Ah Fei came looking for us precisely because he wanted us to help him set up a trap in the circle. Let's just promise him that we'll do our best to help him set up this wonderful trap," Poria softly said.
"Of course, that's a must. Even if Ah Fei didn't mention it, I would've volunteered myself. No matter what he needs, we'll help him do it, but that will only offset the favor of saving our tribe. Me, Feng, and Sakura, the three of us will still lose our lives to him," the old man Otter said with some concern.
Poria chuckled, pointing at Sakura, who was outside the door. The girl was sitting on a stool, her hands resting on her chin, looking like she was deep in thought.
