Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 238 - 51: Bloodline Awakening, Bone Appearance Domain

"The power of bloodlines is ever-changing. Generally, the bloodline power awakened by ordinary people falls within the Five Elements, classified as basic bloodlines. However, just like the Dharma Aspect, bloodlines can continuously evolve and transform. The evolution of bloodlines is related to the foundation of the Dharma Aspect and closely linked to the strength of one’s blood and energy."

"The Wu family’s ancestor awakened a bloodline known as the Divine Bull Bloodline, which is an advanced bloodline beyond the Five Elements. It requires two consecutive transformations of the bloodline to succeed, and it is also related to the family’s genes."

"In the Zhuge Family, none of the past three generations awakened bloodline power. I am already satisfied to have awakened the Water of the Five Elements. If it can transform one day, the power will still be within the realm of the Five Elements, only enhancing my power to transcend between form and formlessness, allowing better penetration through enemy defenses, striking them at their vital points with one spear strike."

"But Old Deng is different."

"He is Teacher Xu’s mentor, and even the Xu Family’s younger generation rarely receives his guidance. If it weren’t for South City’s high expectations of you, with everyone hoping you will achieve good results in the provincial exams and help South City gain more Cultivation Resource Subsidy, Old Deng would not have guided your cultivation."

"Someone in the Deng Family awakened an advanced bloodline, the Golden Toad Bloodline. Old Deng has been trying to have his bloodline undergo a third transformation, hoping the Golden Toad Bloodline continues in the Deng Family."

"To teach you cultivation and to ensure you achieve good results in the provincial exams, he has temporarily put aside the bloodline transformation issue."

Marquis Zhuge spoke earnestly.

Aside from thanking Ling Feng, this visit was primarily at Xu Songlin’s request, hoping Ling Feng would change his temperament, get discharged today, and seek out Old Deng to train well. This way, there’s a chance to enhance strength before the provincial exams and increase the odds of ranking in the top three.

"Old Deng is indeed extraordinary. In his hands, I couldn’t even fight back. It’s just that his teaching method is somewhat rough and straightforward. I worry that before awakening my bloodline, I’ll first be beaten to death by him." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Ling Feng said helplessly.

He didn’t want it this way either, but if injured, he wouldn’t be able to continue training with Old Deng and couldn’t earn any more Coasting Along Value.

"I’ve already talked to Old Deng about this. He won’t use fists and kicks on you anymore. You will follow your usual routine, listening to his lectures for two hours each day on how to awaken your bloodline."

Marquis Zhuge laughed.

"Alright then."

Ling Feng nodded. He couldn’t reject Marquis Zhuge’s goodwill. Besides, staying in the hospital might provoke Old Deng. If he got angry and stormed into the hospital to dismember him, it would really be a loss.

Additionally, training with Old Deng, muddling through classes could earn more Coasting Along Value.

"Let me tell you more about the other effects of bloodlines, why there are basic, intermediate, and advanced bloodlines, and why some people awaken intermediate or even advanced bloodlines upon their first awakening."

Marquis Zhuge smiled.

Ling Feng found him increasingly congenial.

"Bloodline Power is the force hidden within one’s blood and veins. When the blood and veins reach a special resonance, the Bloodline Power can be awakened."

"Bloodline Power is constantly changing yet never strays from its essence. Even intermediate and advanced bloodlines remain within the Five Elements, but they exhibit power in different ways."

"Take the Divine Bull Bloodline of the Wu Family, for example. When the bloodline is operational, it’s like awakening the Divine Bull Beast Soul within. This layer of power not only allows full exertion of blood and Dharma Aspect in combat but also absorbs and converts most of the opposing forces during enemy attacks. It’s much more formidable than regular Dharma Aspect fusion. Imagine facing someone who can, through their bloodline, ignore the Third Layer of Spear Momentum and attack; how would you react?"

"The Wu Family’s Divine Bull Bloodline not only has formidable vitality; when in operation, it feels as though the Divine Bull is safeguarding the body, forming a Gang Shield that firmly protects it. Even if you manage to break through it, the remaining strength can hardly penetrate the opponent’s Dharma Aspect and blood defense."

"Besides, the Divine Bull Bloodline also possesses a terrifying endurance for prolonged combat. The Wu family’s ancestor once used the Divine Bull Bloodline in the Profound Realm for ten days and nights of battle, slaying twenty thousand Silver Moon Wolves, leading to the descendants receiving significant attention from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, obtaining Cultivation Resource Subsidies unobtainable by ordinary means."

"Although I only awakened the basic bloodline, Water of the Five Elements, it allows me to survive in extreme environments. Even if I don’t eat or drink for a month, I can persevere with my bloodline.

Furthermore, my body’s healing abilities far exceed that of Dharma Aspect healing."

Marquis Zhuge treated Ling Feng as one of his own.

As he spoke, he took out a small golden knife.

The knife could slice through iron as if it were mud. He forcefully stabbed it into his arm and then withdrew it, and blood gushed out of the wound immediately.

Next, he inflicted another wound on another part of his arm.

"Teacher Zhuge!"

Ling Feng exclaimed.

Marquis Zhuge signaled him not to worry and began to activate his Bloodline Power in front of him. Ling Feng quickly saw one of the wounds enveloped by a water-like Bloodline Power. The bleeding stopped quickly, and the wound swiftly closed up. A few minutes later, the wound fully healed, as if it had never been injured.

Meanwhile, the wound healed through the Dharma Aspect was only slowly stopping its bleeding now, and it would clearly take a while to completely recover.

On the battlefield, the faster the wounds heal, the higher the lifeline, underscoring the critical importance of Bloodline Power.
