Bloodline Inheritance - Part 2

"Huh!?" Sun Zhou Yi was taken aback, but then a frown appeared on his forehead, "Who is stronger, you or my master?"

This time, it was Niadin who was surprised. If Sun Zhou Yi compared himself to other people, he would confidently say that he was stronger. But it was Heero, the Saint's disciple.

"Why do you ask? Didn't your master ask you to receive my bloodline?" After a moment, Niadin decided not to answer the question and spoke back in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Will receiving your bloodline make me stronger?"

"Of course! You will become a hundred times stronger!"

"Will my body change or grow a scale? Or will it turn my body into a dragon?"

"You will still keep your human form, and you can even turn into a dragon if you want to. But it's impossible at the early stage."

"Will I get a special power?"

"Yes! I am Niadin, the Void Dragon..." Niadin was about to reveal his specialty in spatial technique. However, he immediately nullified that intention. His lips formed a playful smile, "Let me show you."

Sun Zhou Yi stood there and stared at Old Man Niadin. He was quite curious as to what the dragon was going to show him.

Three... Two... One...

Then Old Man Niadin disappeared. 

Vanishing Step! This was what Sun Zhou Yu thought of. He immediately jumped around, and sure enough, Old Man Niadin was right behind him.

Old Man Niadin's Vanishing Step was certainly far above him, but what was so special about it? His master had already taught him this technique.

"What's with the frown? How's that? Amazing, right?" Niadin smiled proudly. However, Sun Zhou Yi's reaction was not what he expected. He could tell that Sun Zhou Yi was not the least bit impressed.

"What's so amazing about the Vanishing Step? Master has already taught me that!" Sun Zhou Yi shook his head.

Then he also vanished and appeared next to Old Man Niadin. He showed Niadin that he could do the same. However, as soon as he arrived next to Old Man Niadin, he was slapped on the head.

Pyak!

"Ouch!?" Sun Zhou Yi turned to Old Man Niadin with a shocked expression. The slap had hit his head the moment he arrived at the spot. It was as if Old Man Niadin had anticipated his movement.

"How? That must be what you want to ask, right, stupid brat? How can you compare my teleportation to a measly Vanishing Step!" Old Niadin scolded Sun Zhou Yi out of frustration.

"Huh!? It was not a Vanishing Step!?" Even Sun Zhou Yi was surprised, but then he looked at Old Man Niadin suspiciously.

It was exactly the same as when his master showed his Vanishing Step. His master disappeared and appeared next to him like a ghost. It was the same as what Old Man Niadin was doing right now.

"Oh, damn it! You piss me off!" The old man walked over to Sun Zhou Yi and threw a punch right at the young man's face.

Niadin's action was too fast, and Sun Zhou Yi did not react to dodge the incoming blow. However, a strange thing happened.

 The first one that was supposed to land on his face did not. It was his back head that was hit by a light punch.

"Huh!?" Sun Zhou Yi was shocked by the scene in front of him. Old Man Niadin's hand, or to be more precise, the part of his wrist and the front of his hand, disappeared.

He looked back and saw a fist. This fist was the missing part of Niadin's hand. Such an occurrence left Sun Zhou Yi stunned.

 He looked back and found that there was a line of distortion space around Niadin's wrist, just like when his master drew his weapon.

"Look, I've been fighting you for three days, and I kinda understand why your master sent you to me. Now I am ready to give you my bloodline, the rest is up to you! Even if you refuse my bloodline, I believe your master will teach you something similar! The spatial technique, he might teach you that even if you don't want my bloodline!"

"No, I am definitely willing to receive your bloodline. I am just curious what will happen to me after I receive the bloodline."

"I am ready, how long will it take, the process of bloodline inheritance!" Sun Zhou Yi replied with a firm tone.

He believed in his master, there was no way he would refuse the bloodline inheritance. If his master told him to get the bloodline, then he would get it. 

Besides, if he were to refuse the bloodline inheritance, why would he stay in this room for three days to fight a dragon? He was just curious what would happen if he received the bloodline inheritance.

"All right, it will not take long, a few hours at minimum, a day at the most. However, the process will be painful, extremely painful! If you have a strong will, like your master said, then it should not be a problem," Niadin said.

Niadin stressed, that It will be extremely painful. Sun Zhou Yi understood and nodded his head.

"I said that you won't change into anything if you succeed, but if you fail to accept my bloodline, then there's a chance that you'll either remain a human or turn into a beastman, half beast, half human! Do you still want to inherit my bloodline?"

Niadin did not start the bloodline inheritance right away. Since Heero did not seem to have said anything about the bloodline inheritance and the risks, Niadin reminded Sun Zhou Yi out of kindness.

"Yes! I believe my master did not tell me about them because he was confident that I would succeed in inheriting your bloodline! I am ready!" Sun Zhou Yi was firm in his decision.

"Good then..." After saying that, Niadin turned back to the big black dragon.

Sun Zhou Yi's view was blocked by the giant Niadin. When he looked at the giant dragon from a closer distance, nervousness began to creep out of him. Even though he knew that the giant dragon was friendly, Sun Zhou Yi still felt nervous.

It was a dragon, after all. A mythical creature that only appeared on TV. For some reason, there was only a small difference between the real one and the one that appeared in the movie.

"Get this!" Niadin spat something from his mouth.

A round and small object flew towards Sun Zhou Yi. The small object was a round black marble about half the size of his fist. Feeling a strong aura from the black marble, he subconsciously activated his Mystic Eyes.

Whoosh!

A strong, thick, and wild Red Ki erupted from the black marble. He remembered that his master had once told him that the red ki was the ki of a beast. 

This meant that the black marble contained the Beast Ki. He also remembered that another ki in his body could be a poison.

"This is my Beast Core. Normally, we beasts feed the Beast Core to our children to help them mature faster. The core also contains our power, swallow it and accept it, you will inherit my bloodline and my power!"

The core was basically the ki that solidified in the beast's body. It would naturally form inside the beast's body.

Sun Zhou Yi looked at the black marble in his hand. He was hesitating for a moment before he put it into his mouth. To his surprise, the black marble immediately melted in his mouth.

Dump Dump! Dump Dump! Dump Dump!

His heartbeat quickened with nervousness. For the first five seconds, he felt nothing at all. But after those five seconds, Sun Zhou Yi fell to the ground.

He immediately clutched his chest. His heart hurt badly, and his face instantly turned red from the pain. Sweat began to pour down his face, chest, and back. His shirt was wet with sweat.

His face was crumpled from the pain. His body was writhing on the ground, enduring the extreme pain.

Niadin returned to his human form. He walked over to Sun Zhou Yi and said, "Don't faint and don't fight my Ki, accept it! Control your ki and accept it, don't fight it!"

Hearing these words, Sun Zhou Yi stopped struggling, but his hands were still around his chest. Earlier, he had tried to fight back the wild Red Ki inside his body, but now he had stopped fighting as Niadin had instructed.

What was actually happening to Sun Zhou Yi was a clash between his original ki and the Beast Ki inside his body. The core was trying to settle in Sun Zhou Yi's heart, while the original ki refused to let the core settle in the heart.

Two different energies met, a clash was inevitable, causing the pain.

Sun Zhou clenched his teeth and groaned in pain. He bore it well and tried to control his raging ki.

Niadin nodded his head in agreement, "Keep it up, your fate is in your own hands!"

Meanwhile, Ryan White took public transportation back to his home. He took his time as he reminisced about the past. It had been seven years since he had left Star City.

There was not much change, but on his way back home, he heard a lot about three names. People always talked about those three names, mostly praising those three names, Xing Heero, Sun Zhou Yi, and the Xing District.

A frown appeared on his face as he remembered why his father had called him back. It was because of Xing Heero, the owner of Xing District.

Ordinary citizens praised Xing Heero, but most heroes and rankers cursed the name like a plague.

After a few hours, Ryan White arrived in front of the White Household residence.

"Hoho... I want to meet our new president, I wonder how he convinced those old men in the Executives to elect him as president to be the sole head of the Hero League."
