6 Awakening
Wex Fallenhand, now a young teenager, sat on a rock in his own courtyard, looking at the koi fish splashing out of the pond, and he was completely at one with his surroundings.
All the while, he was thinking about everything that had happened to him over the years.
Since childhood, he has been hailed to be a genius, and his father is very proud of him.
Due to his above-average physique by the various cuisines he consumes, he is able to effortlessly beat his peers even when they are using their bloodlines against him.
Wex, therefore, knows the bloodlines of their family, as well as the bloodlines of the Great Families in the surrounding area.
The Steel Golems, renowned for their power and might, were the source of the bloodlines of the Fallenhands.
The fact that their bodies are coated with blackened steel makes them seem to be monsters of mass destruction, not just because it is formidable, but also because it is durable.
Vance's family, The Pyrebenders. Their bloodlines descended from the Fire Satyrs, and they were renowned for their explosive nature and complex method of manipulating fire.
The Fire Satyrs dwell in unbearably humid regions and are able to survive in such conditions.
While at his school, The Bloodline Academy, where the younger generations are educated, Wex had seen what the other classmates' bloodlines were like as well, as a result of their continuous fighting with one another.
The Bog Oxbeast, with its incredible endurance and earth-shattering might, is the Bloodline of the Shieldroars.
Because they are descended from the bloodlines of woodland wisps, the Woodvalors are renowned for their intricate method of manipulating nature.
Known as agile warriors, Bonerunners are descended from the bloodline of the Dire leapers.
In the end, it was the Humblekeeper family, who were renowned for deriving their bloodlines from the two-tailed fauns.
They have the capacity to form an emotional connection with magical creatures, which allows them to become beast tamers.
The possibility of bloodlines evolving to larger lengths has been rumored, but Wex has no idea what that means.
And if that is the case, it would follow that his bloodline would develop into another powerful creature that would be much more powerful than the previous one as long as his bloodline became stronger.
While he had assumed that bloodlines were regarded to be fairly common on the Yutran Continent, his father had informed him that only certain people had bloodlines.
Due to the fact that they have bloodlines that are intended for beasts and magical beings, the human body is not built in such a manner, and as a result, the only people who have bloodlines are members of bloodline families or those who can adapt to such blood.
For the beings of the Elemental Realm, on the other hand, they already have the essence to support their profound arts.
Particularly if they have their own matching bloodlines and arts to use it, then they are practically impossible to overcome if you are still a regular human.
Therefore Wex has no chance of defeating them, since simply possessing bloodlines without the ability to utilize them is like a kid holding a baseball bat and swinging it wildly, suggesting that it is worthless in a battle and not dextrous enough to wield it.
As a result, Wex has little chance of overcoming them for the time being. However, that will soon change, as the long-awaited Coming of Age ritual will begin in just a few hours.
It is necessary to put one's hand into the waking stone at such a ritual, and only at the age of 13 years, when one's growth is still in its infancy stage, may one's hand be drawn out of the stone and awaken it.
Some may even have the opportunity to do so until they are older than that, but the chances of awakening one's gift and bringing it into one's body are low to none after that.
There are many tales of older cultivators who have had the opportunity to awaken by having their own opportunities, even though their ages were far above the age limit, although this has only happened in a few instances.
The awakening stone is not regarded uncommon on the Yutran continent, and it may be found in small schools and homes as well, making it possible for almost anybody to become a cultivator if they are fortunate enough.
Although you must be awakened to cultivate, having manuals and resources that can guide you to higher levels is essential in the process of developing your abilities.
As a result, even if you possess the so-called ability, you will never be able to rise beyond the average and will instead be reduced to becoming ordinary.
Wex had studied a plethora of books and was well-versed in a variety of fields. He had also mastered a few mortal skills and, more importantly, had gained a thorough understanding of the world in which he lived.
This continent is known as the Yutran continent, and it is split into many sections, both large and tiny, each of which has a cornucopia of cities.
Furthermore, each zone has its own dangerous zones, severe conditions, and unique materials that are only available in that particular zone.
Unfortunately, because of his low level of cultivation, Wex does not have access to that kind of information.
Even with his father's power as sole patriarch, he could not gently bend any laws for him, since doing so would be considered shameless and unjust to the other members of the family.
If you wanted more information, you needed the power to get it, for it is detrimental in possessing such information if you don't have the strength to back it up.
He did, however, manage to read all he could on the Vertiron Region.
The Vertiron region, where his father and his uncle Bael were the two patriarchs of the two great families who live in Lochfield City, inside the Vertiron region.
Due to the fact that it covers a large majority of territory in the Veritgon Region, along with Five major cities that are spread across the region, as well as numerous minor villages and cities, Lochfield is regarded one of the region's powerhouses.
Due to the peculiarity of their monster cores, which have become something of a trademark in the Vertiron Region, many resources and, more importantly, a large number of people pass through the Vertiron region and onto their domain.
As a result, realistically speaking, as Pierce Fallenhand's son, he would be followed wherever he went by numerous gazes of respect and jealousy, not only because he is endowed with limitless potential, but also because he has a father who is the only patriarch in the Fallenhand family.
A pampered rich boy, so to speak.
"Wex! It's time," His sister Rye, who is now a stunning beauty, reminded him as she strolled into his courtyard leisurely.
"Coming..." As soon as he heard the cry, Wex sprang to his feet and strode confidently out of his courtyard, heading towards the Awakening Ceremony, his confidence growing stronger with each step.
