Celestial Bloodline

Kyle's figure appeared under the sky as he hovered above the rock formation.

He had disabled the main power source that operated the trial ground next to the statue of the ice enchantress and even filled the trial ground with his symbols.

He wrinkled his nose as Bia's boisterous curses resounded in his head.

'Stop cursing, or I will block your voice!'

Instantly, the phoenix fell eerily silent, and a chuckle escaped his lips when he sensed her annoyed and cranky mood.

He knew that after he disappeared, everyone would have encircled Bia. Now she had to respond to all their inquiries.

'I promise, I will come to get you soon.'

Kyle's eyes crinkled when the phoenix stopped talking to him. She was clearly upset, but he would comfort her later.

He looked at the two male statues encircling the rock formation, and his eyes turned cold. With both statues damaged, he couldn't tell which one represented Azazeal and which one was Nathaniel's.

Kyle vanished from his spot. Shortly after, one of the towering statues disintegrated into pieces, startling all the people in the rock formation and inside the trial grounds as the thunderous noise of the collapsing statue reverberated through the air.

He unfurled his fist and cast a glance at the other male statue, which too crumbled into many pieces under his attack.

Kyle eyed the dust swirling around him. His ears twitched when he heard the shocked cries of those nearby.

"What are they making noise for? I just smashed some worthless statues."

He glanced at the entrance of the trial ground next to the one of the statues he had demolished. It was entirely covered by the debris of the shattered statue.

Nonetheless, he shrugged and vanished to enter the trial ground directly. He can use instant teleportation. No need to waste time clearing the mess.

Kyle spread out his scent perception skill to sense the location of Zron, Carcel, Mia, and Sinon who were in this trial ground.

Before heading to their location, he materialized inside a random chamber of the trial ground and placed his palm on the ground. Instantly, spiritual energy burst from his body, and numerous symbols began to form in the air before swiftly disappearing into the walls around him. He disabled the main power source operating the trial ground and created a portal to directly reach Carcel and the others.

Kyle emerged from the other end of the portal, only to be greeted by the panting figures of everyone. Carcel was the first to spot him, followed by the rest.

A touch of relief flickered in their eyes as they saw the unscathed silver-haired man. It wasn't unexpected, as they had tried to reach Kyle through the communication crystal, but he hadn't responded.

Sinon fluttered his wide wings and stretched his tired body. Then he pointed at the many marble statues around him. The very statues they were fighting, but suddenly they all stopped functioning as if they lost their power. He glanced at Kyle.

"I am absolutely certain you did it. But how did you completely shut down the trials in this trial ground?"

Mia was the one who responded to him.

"He probably destroyed or closed the power source of this trial ground."

Kyle glanced at the blue-haired woman. She was smoothing the creases in her flowing attire and tidying her hair now that they no longer have to battle the marble statues.

"Indeed, I closed the power source."

Sinon let out a tired sigh.

"That's pretty unfair. Us regular folks have to put in all our strength to clear the tests in the trial ground, and you just swooped in and shut down the power source... like it was the simplest thing ever."

Kyle raised an eyebrow.

"Now that you brought it up, it does feel somewhat unfair. So, do the regular folks want to come with me? I'm heading straight to the treasure chamber."

Sinon promptly stood up.

"Absolutely, boss! I'll follow!"

Carcel and Mia chuckled at the winged demi-human. It was at that moment, Zron's shaking voice echoed in the chamber.

"Kids... someone lend me a hand. I can't stand up because my legs gave up..."

Kyle glanced at the old dwarf sprawled in the distance as if the latter had exhausted all his strength and might die any moment.

'He's quite the actor.'

He noted with a smirk. Now that he was stronger than the old man, he could tell the latter was quite robust. Kyle approached Zron and sat down next to him.

The dwarf's body tensed up when he saw the deep green eyes checking him from top to bottom. Zron sat up, forgetting he had just said his legs gave out, and narrowed his eyes at Kyle.

"What?"

His eyes widened when he heard the silver-haired man's next words.

"You're going to break through to the supreme rank?"

The unexpected reveal caught everyone off guard in the chamber. Sinon swiftly made his way to the old dwarf.

"Master, you are going to break through? No, that can't be! I finally thought I could beat you once or twice now that I have reached the transcendent rank-!"

He clamped his mouth shut when Zron gave him a deadpan look.

The old man felt betrayed. He had fed and clothed these young ducklings only to hear they

wanted to beat him up? Don't they have any regard for their respected elder?

Zron shook his head with a sigh and chose to disregard the winged demi-human. He

responded to Kyle.

"I am indeed going to break through. It's good that I am. Alec mentioned the tomb is going to explode soon. We need to become as strong as possible to escape this tomb."

Carcel, Mia, and Sinon's expressions immediately fell upon hearing his words. They were feeling exhausted, so they hadn't shared this news right away with Kyle. It's good that the old

man told him in time.

Yet, they were taken aback when Kyle didn't appear surprised at all. The silver-haired man simply nodded nonchalantly.

"I know, Yue and the others with her updated me on everything. I caught up with them before

arriving here."

He glanced at the old man.

"Nevertheless, I believe you shouldn't break through just yet."

Zron furrowed his brows. He was puzzled after hearing his words.

"Why?"

Kyle grabbed his arm and tightened his grip, causing the old man to hiss. He released the old

man's arm and stood up.

"That's why. Your physique is weak. If you break through to the supreme rank without improving your physique, you won't be able to enhance it easily later on. So, enhance your

physique and soul rank first before advancing to the next rank."

Zron's eyes flashed with surprise. "You can sense my soul rank too?"
