Bloodlines

Yao blushed slightly. 'Damn kid, why do you say those kinds of words to me?'

"Tsk I noticed that you like to flirt. You better change that habit. I don't want you to put any woman in your bed."

"You are jealous? I'm a kid, I don't have those thoughts hehe"

"You… only fool your mother"

Vlad didn't want to continue the discussion, and changed the subject. "Let's find a room, we've explored enough"

Feng Yao snorted, "Come on."

While they were looking for a room, Vlad told her about the people who were locked up in this place, and how her father divided this small world into several zones.

'I also have a treasure to store living things, but it doesn't compare to this,' Feng Yao thought.

In the end, they found a medium-sized room and settled there.

Vlad arranged his clothes inside one piece of furniture and then lay down on the bed. Yao meditated next to him with her legs crossed.

"I'm going to the training ground. Do you want to come with me?"

Yao glared at him. She was still upset that Vlad didn't respond when she told him not to flirt with other women.

"I'll stay here, meditating."

Vlad nodded and left.

When he arrived at the training ground, he sat cross-legged, took out the jade containing the information on 'sword introduction' and began to comprehend.

Grab, movement, edge, cut, penetration… Vlad was grasping all the concepts with incredible speed. After an hour, he stood up, took a wooden sword that was hanging on the wall and started practicing '9 basic sword moves' for 4 hours.

After training without rest, Vlad lay down on the floor completely exhausted. "Nuria, it's time for you to work."

Nuria left Vlad's dantian and went outside, "child, speak to me with respect, call me big sister Nuria". She waved his hand and Vlad began to recover with extraordinary speed and all the weariness was gone.

Vlad thanked her and told her to go back to his dantian.

Taking out the transformation disk, he began to cultivate and replenished the Qi that spent while trained.

After a while.

It's time to have a fight, Vlad thought.

Secretly, Marek taught him some basic fighting moves, as Celeste wanted him to enjoy the early years of his life and not get immersed in cultivation and training.

In the center of the training ground was a prism-shaped crystal floating in the air. Vlad walked over and placed his hand on the glass and yelled "activate". Previously, Marek told him what to do.

'Father said that apart from formations, this training ground is equipped with technology.'

When a God could no longer advance in cultivation because he reached the limit of his talent, he looked for other activities where he could invest his time. Some dedicated themselves to alchemy, blacksmithing, matrices.... There were many professions and one of them was the development of technology.

Marek was a traditional god, and he didn't like (science). He thought it was a way to waste time, so Vlad had almost no contact with technology.

The boy was barely aware of some devices, thus he was excited when his father told him that this castle was equipped with technology.

Suddenly, a monotonous voice came from the crystal. "Welcome Master Vlad Rurik. My name is Lisa, and my role is to serve you."

Vlad jumped back. "are you a spirit?".

"No, I'm artificial intelligence. If you place your hand on the crystal, I can send information about me, how I was created, and what I can do".

Vlad placed his hand on the glass. It's a gift from his father so there's no reason to be suspicious. After that, a wave of information poured over him.

After a few minutes, Vlad understood everything about Lisa.

Vlad smiled. "I understand. Technology huh, it's quite interesting." "Lisa, I want to practice with a training puppet"

"Hit the crystal with all your strength. Based on that, I will assign an opponent for you," Lisa replied.

After Vlad hit the prism, a middle-aged man appeared and immediately attacked him. At first, Vlad was beaten from blue to purple. He had to call Nuria several times for her to heal her wounds, but over time, the boy adapted.

His swordsmanship improved little by little.

Vlad trained for hours, only stopping when Feng Yao called out to him through the Communication Jade.

"Vlad, the lectures will start soon."

After cleaning up, Vlad went to his first day of school.

Before leaving, he asked Yao if she wanted to accompany him, but she flatly refused. He preferred to stay inside the palace cultivating.

…

A stocky young man, with brown hair and approximately 1.90 meters tall, stood in front of a group of 20 children.

"Hello children, my name is Celio Rurik. You should address me as Celio instructor, is your first day of classes and today your path to divinity begins and the first thing we will do is the line awakening ceremony blood. Everyone, follow me in order."

All these children were starting their way in farming today. None of them were over 8 years old and they were all nervous. On the first day of conferences, they would awaken their bloodline and that would mark their future, since the clan placed great importance on the lineage.

The children and the instructor came to a very well lit underground chamber. In front of them were 2 enormous doors.

Celio looked at Vlad and said: "Vlad Rurik, you will enter the left door. Eve Rurik goes to the door on the right."

Vlad nodded and entered through the left door.

"Dad, mom?"

Inside the room were his parents. This situation surprised Vlad.

Celeste ran up and hugged her son. "My baby, how are you? Is it hard being away from mommy?"

"Mom, please let me go. Don't call me baby." Vlad rolled his eyes.

"Just one day and you already forgot about your mother…" Celeste pretended to be sad.

Vlad ignored his mother. He already knew her tactics. "Father, what are you doing here?"

"We will take care of your awakening. Get on the platform, son."

Vlad smiled. After greeting his father, he went up to a metallic platform located in the center of the room.

The platform lit up.

"Sit cross-legged and eat this pill. Vlad, you have to bear the pain. Don't faint," Marek said.

The pill was crimson in color and gave off a strong smell of herbs and blood.

After eating the pill, Vlad's skin turned red. Intense pain assaulted him, but he gritted his teeth and didn't let out a single sound.

Vlad felt his blood running wild. Seemed like it wanted to go out and destroy the world. The process lasted 30 minutes. The birthmark on his forehead lit up a crimson color.

A hoarse voice echoed in Vlad's mind, "a fire that can burn space-time."

Later, something inexplicable happened. Vlad entered an illusion. In the illusion he was sitting on a magnificent throne, thousands of beautiful naked women were on their knees worshiping him. One of the women approached him and said, "my lord stay with us, we will serve you for eternity".

'Am I really a pervert? Is my hidden desire to have thousands of women? Otherwise I do not understand why he would be tempted with this illusion '.

Despite the enticing scene, Vlad kept his mind clear. The illusion did not seem to affect him.

Vlad stood up, a golden flame appeared in his hand. He threw it forward, and the illusion was broken. Again, the same voice echoed in his mind.

"An illusion that can fool the universe."

He returned to the room, where his parents were looking at him with a face full of shock.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Vlad asked.

Marek stepped forward and said: "Son, you awakened 2 bloodlines, one inherited from me and the other from your mother. The reason for our shock is that humans can only awaken one bloodline naturally. I never saw someone wake up 2 bloodlines. This is very mysterious. You can't tell anyone about it."

A brush appeared in Marek's hand. At the same time, he cut the palm of his hand and golden blood flowed from there.

Marek used his blood and his brush to carve a rune on Vlad's chest.

A small blue light covered Vlad's body.

"This will protect you, no one will be able to find out about your bloodlines," Marek smiled.

Vlad nodded. "Thanks, Dad".

Celeste pulled Vlad into her embrace. "Son, how are you feeling? You are well?".

"I'm fine, mom."

A smile appeared on Celeste's face, "Son, when your cultivation progresses, your bloodline will evolve, you must be prepared. Dad and I will leave. You must work hard and cultivate with dedication. See you in a year."

"Please take care mother and say hello to my grandmother, tell her I will miss her"

After saying goodbye to his parents, Vlad left the room.

After a few hours, all the children woke up their bloodlines and returned to the conference room.
