"Haha! Haha! Hahaha!" Ji Hao raised his arms and shouted. His eyeballs suddenly turned red.

Ji Hao was deeply astonished by his father, who was so talented and powerful.

He clearly remembered ten years ago the battle against the Blackwater Serpent Clan in the Ancestral Temple at the Gold Black Mountain that had occurred. Ji Xia and Qing Fu had been sneak-attacked by assassins. Ji Xia only had around twenty awakened Magus Acupoints at that time, every one of them had been punctured by poisonous weapons.

If this had happened to any other Senior Magus in the Fire Crow Clan, it would be impossible for him or her to recover from such a damage. Normally speaking, damaging even the tiniest Magus Acupoint could disable a Senior Magus.

However, it had only taken Ji Xia a decade to awaken another forty-eight Magus Acupoints. He had given up on those damaged caves, and instead found a way to awaken those inconspicuous Magus Acupoints in his arms and legs. Not only did he not get demoted from the Senior Level, he had become even more powerful than ten years ago!

No wonder those elders and Maguspriests in the Black Water Serpent Clan called Ji Xia their most horrible enemy in a thousand years. He had risen again after all of his Magus Acupoints were broken, and had become even more powerful!

"Xia! My brother! You're the strongest warrior in our Fire Crow Clan!"

"Hey! Xia! You're our leader! Only Xia is qualified to lead us!"

"Beat him! Xia! Beat him to death! Break his neck! Tear him apart!"

The same as Ji Hao, countless Holy Land warriors waved their arms and weapons and growled, half-cheering and half-raging. Their faces turned red, some of them had even activated their internal power that wrapped themselves in fiery lights and cawed like crows.

"Ba-Bastard!" Ji Shu's voice was trembling. He had just stomped his own son to death, now he saw Ji Xia showing his power, which had nearly broken him down. He felt waves of scorching heat inside his chest, he shivered and almost coughed up blood.

"Ji Xia! Your Magus Acupoints were broken...How could you...You..." said Ji Shu, who could only barely stand. Ji Xia now had forty-nine awakened Magus Acupoints, while himself had only thirty-two of them, which meant that Ji Xia might be more powerful than him.

He was so confident about defeating Ji Xia and taking the position of the leader only a while ago. Now he felt as if that was almost a joke.

"Our bloodline granted us power!" Ji Xia was breathing calmly, his skin was glowing as magma. "Feel the power inside our bloodline, listen to the voice of our ancestors. As long as we're alive, we are protected by our bloodline, which means there is always hope!"

"Good! Xia!" Said Ji Kui, who was standing near the entrance of the Ancestral Temple. Ji Kui nodded appreciatively towards Ji Xia and continued, "The power of the bloodline is the most precious gift we have from our ancestors. As long as our bloodline continues, everything will be possible!"

Ji Hao popped up his eyes, staring at Ji Xia. Is this the magic power of the bloodline?

According to Ji Hao's knowledge from his previous life, even injuring the tendons and vessels could disable a Senior Magus, not to mention destroying all of his or her Magus Acupoints. However, in this world, the magic power of the bloodline had enabled Ji Xia to completely recover from the truculent injury within only a decade!

"The power of the bloodline..." muttered Ji Hao. He then felt his power starting to surge and his physical strength starting to increase; he felt like his body had become a black hole, constantly attracting and absorbing power, strength and life force energy from everywhere.

Ji Hao sensed that the multicoloured flame in his dantian had quickly doubled in size. The flame acquired all those power and strength, then turned into beams of lights, moving along his body, into his muscles, his blood, and his bones. Ji Hao heard a clear dragon's roar from within his body, then he noticed that his muscles had begun to swell.

"Cut the crap! Let's fight!" Ji Shu madly shouted out. His body transformed into a beam of dazzling fiery light and shot across the sky. After a while, he landed in the forest that was tens of miles away from the temple and the crowd.

"Fight!" Ji Xia laughed out loud, leapt up and flew towards the forest. Before Ji Xia landed steadily, Ji Shu shouted out, bursted his body into flames, and dashed towards Ji Xia.

Four strong arms heavily clashed against each other. They then clashed hundreds of times against each other in the following moment.

The earth was shaking intensely; the jungle within the radius of a few miles around had been ablaze; the towering ancient trees had instantly been burnt into ashes; the mountain started to crack; the rocks had been burnt into lava which splashed around by the waves of impact of their clashes. Some of the lava even splashed miles away.

Ji Xia and Ji Shu were madly hitting each other with their bare fists, without using any tricks or dodging. A thundering noise lingered in people's ears.

This was how warriors fought in the Southern Wasteland. They would show no fear to their enemies; they did not dodge or flee; they used their strength to fight against their enemies, to smash and kill their enemies!

Ji Xia's face had been ripped off, blood spurted out of his wounds and teeth exploded out from his mouth. But, new teeth were constantly growing back and wounds were constantly healing themselves.

Ji Shu's skull was cracked and his face was even hollowed. Ji Xia's punches were much heavier than his. Fragments of Ji Shu's bones flew out from the wounds on his face. However, Senior Magi had tremendous amount of life force energy contained in their internal power which allowed self-healing.

Both Ji Xia and Ji Shu had Fire Crow Clan bloodline power. Their bodies were wrapped in a bright gold-fiery light, which dazzled the eyes of those who were relatively weaker; many in the crowd could only see a sweeping fire and light.

Along with an abrupt and almighty bang, Ji Xia took a deep breath then heavily punched Ji Shu for over a hundred times.

Ji Shu's chest had exploded; his ribs were cracked and broken into pieces. He flew backwards like a cannonball.

The mountain shook again, Ji Shu's body heavily smashed into a hill miles away from the forest. The hill was blasted away and quickly burned into lava. Ji Shu laid in the lava and vomited blood; he couldn't move an inch.

The forest had already become a lake of lava in a circumference of twenty miles. Ji Xia stepped on a fiery light ball and floated over the lake while coldly looking at Ji Shu.

"Ji Shu, my brother, you are not my rival. The position of the clan leader seems to still belong to me!"

A fire was blazing under Ji Xia's foot, the wounds on his face quickly healed.

"Ji Xia, my brother, I have to give it a try, shouldn't I?" said Ji Shu. He laughed wildly, a fiery light beamed out from his left arm, and an oddly shaped wooden stick appeared in Ji Shu's hands. The stick was engulfed in flames.

"I happened to get a new inherited magic treasure...My brother, try blocking this!"

Ji Shu raised himself from the magma lake, his wounds also quickly healed itself.
