Chapter 571: Chapter 153: Bloodline Wizard

Zhu Xin Xue’s aura abruptly changed, and invisible auras gradually formed around her. In that instant, it was as if she had become another person.

Su Changxing was also a bit surprised, not expecting that Zhu Xin Xue would react as soon as she put on the pendant, seemingly on the verge of breaking through that threshold and stepping into extraordinary.

She was already just a step away from extraordinary, and the pendant was like a lighthouse guiding her through the fog.

"It seems you can indeed be considered the senior sister now," Su Changxing joked as he looked at her.

Zhu Xin Xue appeared a bit confused: "So I’m an extraordinary now?"

She never imagined that the process would be so effortless, completed without even realizing it.

Su Changxing nodded, affirming: "Yes, you should be able to sense the change, the power from the extraordinary."

[Star Explorer: Tier Nine, Upper Rank, capable of observing the stars in the sky to obtain power, possessing strong combat abilities, gaining extensive perception abilities at night.]

It’s a decent position, at least in the upper rank.

Boom~

Suddenly, Zhu Xin Xue punched the ground, causing the floor to crack open, her fair and delicate hand sinking right in.

"Indeed, a lot more powerful now."

She withdrew her hand, shook off the dust, and exclaimed with a face full of amazement.

Su Changxing gritted his teeth, speaking in mock irritation: "Getting stronger is true, but the floor didn’t provoke you... This thing really correlates with character, for someone as slender as you to obtain a position with such close combat capabilities."

Zhu Xin Xue’s face lit up with joy, saying: "So does that mean I can soon catch up to my brother?"

Su Changxing thought for a moment, saying: "Not likely, at least not in the short term."

"Huh? My brother is that strong?" Zhu Xin Xue was full of doubt. In her impression, her brother had only become an extraordinary not long ago.

Logically, she should be much stronger than her brother, after all, she survived the apocalypse, but Zhu Wenwu somehow inexplicably became an extraordinary very quickly.

"He’s a freak, appearing so weak on the surface, yet so timid..." she continued to complain.

Zhu Xin Xue didn’t seem to know much about her brother’s current situation, not even noticing the abnormalities in Zhu Wenwu at all.

A bit strange, or perhaps Zhu Wenwu disguised himself too well.

Su Changxing interrupted, saying: "This place is very dangerous; we could be attacked by those wizards at any time, so be careful on your own; we’re always ready to evacuate."

Zhu Xin Xue confidently replied: "I’m already an extraordinary now, so there won’t be any problems."

Su Changxing looked at how Zhu Xin Xue was about to float away with her confidence, rubbing her head with one hand, reminding: "The ones who drown are those who know how to swim."

"Alright, alright. I know," Zhu Xin Xue pouted and replied:

"My brother said he’d be back soon. He’s out running around on his own all night; Master, you have to talk to him. It’s so dangerous."

Su Changxing thought for a moment and said: "Your brother is very strong now; you don’t need to worry about him too much. The most important thing is for you to think about how to improve your strength."

"Every extraordinary has their unique way of improving themselves, which you need to explore on your own. Anything you do will have corresponding effects, mainly aligning with your position."

Zhu Xin Xue, being smart, pondered for a moment and then asked: "Master, how did you enhance your strength when you were in Tier Nine?"

"Sleeping," Su Changxing replied concisely.

Zhu Xin Xue’s eyes widened in shock: "Sleeping? You enhance your strength by sleeping?"

Su Changxing nodded calmly: "Yes, it relates to the position."

Zhu Xin Xue found it mystical, feeling like a myth. Had it come from someone else, she would think they were fooling her.

Su Changxing looked at Zhu Xin Xue’s expression, a bit helpless, as it wasn’t easy to explain such matters.

For ordinary people, raising mysteriousness is indeed a difficult matter, only possible through gradual exploration.

...

By noon, Zhu Wenwu returned, covered in blood, carrying a blood-stained bundle in his hand.

Su Changxing immediately recognized it as a head inside, a wizard’s head, with the eyes still opening and closing, seemingly not completely dead.

"Why do you bring a head back?" Zhou An glanced at the contents of the bundle, showing a face full of disgust.

Even someone accustomed to killing wouldn’t like these severed things.

Zhu Wenwu placed the bundle on the table, took a deep breath, and said:

"He’s someone very important on the wizard’s side. He’s a Bloodline Wizard, and his blood ability can open a channel across world barriers."

Su Changxing examined the wizard, speaking in a deep voice: "You mean, he opened a passage from the Wizard World to here?"

Zhu Wenwu nodded, saying: "Yes, but not just him alone; there’s a group of Bloodline Wizards, and he’s the leader."

"If we eliminate most of these Bloodline Wizards, they won’t be able to maintain the cross-world channel."

This was crucial information.

Su Changxing paused, questioning: "Are you sure? Where did you get this information from?"

Zhu Wenwu took the handkerchief passed by Zhu Xin Xue, wiped the blood off his face, and confidently said:

"It’s true; I got this information from this wizard’s blood. Blood carries memories... you know."

This was a capability derived from his status as an Original Blood Species—extracting others’ information and fragments of memory from their blood.

Su Changxing leaned against the table, lost in thought for a long time, then said indifferently: "If that’s the case, as long as we eliminate these Bloodline Wizards quickly, we might be able to block the passage."

His fear wasn’t of the wizards in Donglin City, but the entire Wizard World.

If it were only the wizards in Donglin City, they could hardly make an impact; even if the Donglin Region were handed over to them, so what?

Zhu Wenwu’s eyes gleamed as he affirmed: That is the case. Besides, these Bloodline Wizards don’t possess particularly strong combat abilities themselves... They seem to be massively gathering in Donglin Forest now."

"It’s an opportunity, but we should be careful. I killed this wizard, which must have provoked them."

The wizards might not bother with pesky mosquitos, but if mosquitos keep pestering them, it becomes necessary to deal with them.

Su Changxing furrowed his brows slightly, stating, "But this matter requires careful planning, as our strength is far inferior to those wizards. If we rush in, we’d certainly suffer."

Even a casual wizard is equivalent to a Tier Eight Extraordinary, some even stronger.

Their high-end combat power is unmatched, and their low-end powers are far beyond compare.

If it weren’t for these wizards being preoccupied with other matters, they’d have to flee now.
