Chapter 60 Demonic Qi

"I assume Yu Bai has already informed you about the basics," Mother Lu said with a serious tone.

Lu Zhen nodded in response. 𝚏r𝐞𝗲𝚠eb𝚗o𝐯el.com

"Very well, then I will explain your condition," she continued.

"Son, you were born with a deficit in your bloodline, which causes you to exhibit certain symptoms."

"You see, our clan, along with most other bloodline clans, awakens their abilities around the age of 12. The faster they awaken their bloodline, the more beneficial it is. However, if you don't awaken by the age of 12, your chances of awakening your bloodline diminish as you age."

"In fact, this is quite common among our descendants. Some awaken their bloodline, while others don't."

"This is also the reason our rule over the world eventually crumbled. Those descendants who didn't awaken their bloodlines had no talent for martial arts, as they could never make progress with any martial art."

"Since their bloodline purity was very weak, it affected their five senses, making them weaker than others. This hindered their progress in martial arts significantly. Although their bodies remained normal, their limited five senses prevented them from making any substantial progress in martial arts."

"Since you started practising martial arts at a young age but didn't make any progress, it's because your five senses were suppressed due to your unawakened bloodline."

Hearing this, Lu Zhen felt it was natural after all, since this body previously almost had no talent for martial arts. However, after Lu Zhen had strengthened his physique, he was able to make rapid progress in martial arts, reaching the level of martial trainee in weeks. His saber mastery skill also aided in practising the martial art.

However, Lu Zhen could bet that he wouldn't have made any progress in his martial arts if he hadn't strengthened his constitution, which enhanced his five senses.

"Seems like strengthening my constitution early on was the right choice," Lu Zhen thought with satisfaction as he continued to listen to Mother Lu.

"You didn't feel much attraction to females when you were younger because you couldn't awaken your bloodline, which suppressed those feelings," she continued.

"When you first awakened, you must have gone berserk, right?" Mother Lu asked, pausing.

"Yes, Mother," Lu Zhen confirmed.

Mother Lu nodded in understanding. "That's because when you first awakened, all the desires you had suppressed erupted like a volcano, causing you to go berserk. After slaughtering those bandits, you must have gained some clarity, right?"

Lu Zhen nodded in agreement.

"Seeing you awaken at the age of 18 is quite unusual because it becomes increasingly difficult to awaken as you age," Mother Lu remarked with a frown.

"However, you aren't a rarity. Someone even awakened in their 30s, but the chances of that are even slimmer than yours."

"Reaching the level of a martial trainee without awakening your bloodline is quite astonishing. It shouldn't be possible based on my understanding," Mother Lu added, looking at Lu Zhen with uncertainty.

"Mother, this is because of my physique. I was able to train my physical body using exercises I found in an old book," Lu Zhen explained.

Mother Lu looked at her son for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Hahahaha… Son, if you didn't want to tell me, you didn't have to force yourself," she said with amusement, her laughter echoing in the room as Lu Zhen maintained a poker face.

"Son, if you ever change your mind, it's fine. You don't have to keep secrets from me," she said, then handed him a scroll.

Lu Zhen's eyes lit up at the sight of the scroll. He knew that this scroll was essential for him to revert to his human form. Although the Adapt skill suppressed his desires, it didn't allow him to turn back into a human form without the scroll. Plus, he was still curious about the skill he gained from the scroll, hoping to acquire another skill with it.

Who knows? Maybe he could get another skill from it again although the chances were small. It was certainly worth researching.

Mother Lu noticed her son's excitement and smiled. "Son, did you gain any special abilities when you looked at the scroll?"

"Yes, Mother," Lu Zhen replied, closing his eyes. When he opened them again, a golden hue shone in his eyes.

Seeing his golden eyes, Mother Lu's smile grew broader.

"Son, I thought you might never get to practice martial arts in your life, so I allowed you to drink and gamble as much as you wanted, thinking you were hopeless. But seeing how strong you've become..."

"It's alright, Mother," Lu Zhen interrupted.

Mother Lu gazed at her grown-up son, who now stood at a towering seven feet with a muscular frame. She remembered him as a crying child, and now, she felt a sense of safety just looking at him.

She sighed with contentment.

"I will find you a cultivation method to cultivate demonic qi soon," she announced, causing Lu Zhen to be stunned. Although he had seen the demonic qi attribute in the system panel, he didn't fully understand it or know what benefits it could provide.

"Demonic qi is just like a unique qi that a martial artist can convert from attributeless qi; however, instead of a cultivation technique this needs a bloodline to convert from attributeless to demonic." Mother Lu explained. "As for its benefits, it can significantly increase your combat power to astonishing levels by increasing the strength of your body and qi temporarily."

"Demonic qi complements most of the other attributes; you can use it in conjunction with other forms of qi," Mother Lu said, pausing. "It also operates on a similar system to the ordinary martial artist power system, but with different names."

"Martial trainees are referred to as Demonic Soldiers, third-stage martial artists become Demonic Captains, second-stage martial artists are known as Demonic Generals, and first-stage practitioners are called Demonic Emperors."

"You should cultivate as quickly as possible. I won't inquire about what your golden eyes can do," Mother Lu said, her gaze filled with meaning, as she looked at Lu Zhen.
