Chapter 51: The Absolute Favorite Son

“Hey, that Innate Martial Artist, don’t leave yet,” Jiang Taixuan suddenly spoke, stopping the group that was about to go back to raise money.

“Field Master, are you calling me?” This was a lean middle-aged man, fair-skinned and clean, giving off a scholarly aura.

The others also stopped and looked curiously at the middle-aged man and Jiang Taixuan.

“You possess a Mid-grade Bloodline, yet your activation failed. Wouldn’t you like to give it another try?” Jiang Taixuan pointed at the Activation Hand and introduced it: “For just one hundred Yuan Coins, any bloodline can be activated for you.”

“Really?” The middle-aged man trembled slightly, his breathing becoming rapid. He possessed a bloodline, but it had failed to activate, which was why he ended up in Clear Moon City. If his bloodline were activated, he could be considered quite a genius.

But after failing once, activating it later would be even more difficult, almost impossible.

He had come here just to join the commotion, to see who dared to challenge the Clear Moon Academy and even make them suffer.

“Of course. Products from the Divine Devil Dojo are guaranteed to be top-quality. If your bloodline isn’t activated, you can pick any Divine-level Cultivation Method to take, and a complete set at that!” Jiang Taixuan said proudly.

Gulp!

Everyone swallowed hard, looking at the middle-aged man with excitement in their eyes, as if saying: “Do it immediately, but please don’t succeed!” After all, a Mid-grade Bloodline wasn’t as important as a Divine-level Cultivation Method.

“But… I don’t have one hundred Yuan Coins,” the middle-aged man said bitterly, a hint of desolation flashing across his face.

Jiang Taixuan was stunned. Was this Innate Realm cultivator so down on his luck?

One hundred Yuan Coins was indeed a significant amount, but most martial artists at the Innate Realm could usually come up with it. This middle-aged man was really struggling.

Was he supposed to give him a free try? This man would make good advertising, but his Mid-grade Bloodline wasn’t quite enough.

“Brother Zhao, I’ll lend you one hundred Yuan Coins. You don’t have to pay me back,” an Innate Martial Artist from the Wanyi Commerce Guild spoke up, taking out a money pouch.

The others remained silent, just watching quietly.

The middle-aged man chuckled bitterly, cupped his hands, and said, “Thank you, Brother Yuan. Zhao will remember this favor.”

Not having to repay one hundred Yuan Coins—such a good deal didn’t just happen. This was clearly an attempt to gain favor. Accepting this kindness meant he would have to help out in the future if needed.

After borrowing the one hundred Yuan Coins, the middle-aged man handed them to Jiang Taixuan and said solemnly, “Field Master, please activate my bloodline.”

Hum!

The Activation Hand appeared and gently touched the middle-aged man’s forehead. A strange power entered his body, and he felt extremely comfortable, as if basking in warm sunlight.

Roar!

A beast’s roar echoed as a phantom image of a cyan fierce tiger materialized, howling at the sky. A powerful aura of a beast king filled the dojo.

“Mid-grade Bloodline, Qingshan Demon Tiger!” several people exclaimed in surprise.

Mid-grade Bloodlines were rare in Clear Moon City and were considered top-tier geniuses. As for Ximen the Fatty’s Top Grade Bloodline, that was completely special.

“My bloodline is finally activated,” the middle-aged man said, tears of excitement welling in his eyes. He bowed repeatedly. “Thank you, Field Master. Thank you, Brother Yuan. Zhao Qing is eternally grateful for today’s kindness.”

Looking at the eager and enthusiastic martial artists, Jiang Taixuan smiled faintly and did not take any credit: “Everything in the dojo has its price. This has nothing to do with me.”

“Enough said, I’m going back to raise money,” a group of martial artists quickly left. Since everything was true, raising money was now their top priority.

With enough money, they could trample both the Clear Moon Academy and the Clear Moon City’s ruler under their feet!

These martial artists came and left quickly. In the blink of an eye, the dojo was empty again.

Jiang Taixuan stepped out of the dojo, looked at Ximen the Fatty, who was still holding his head high, and asked with a laugh, “Feel good?”

“Good, so good! Brother Xuan, you didn’t see the way they looked at me—their eyes almost popped out,” Ximen the Fatty said excitedly, spittle flying. “Did you hear? The Wanyi Commerce Guild even begged me to join them, but I didn’t agree.”

Jiang Taixuan laughed. “You could have gone.”

Ximen the Fatty shook his head repeatedly. He wasn’t stupid. His Top Grade Bloodline was good, but there were several people here with Divine Blood. Just look at Tang Yuelu—she shattered his Mystic Tortoise with one slap.

If he really went out there and others bought Divine Bloodlines, where would his status be?

Ximen the Fatty was still dreaming of courting the Divine Maiden. This was his great ambition, and he couldn’t give up on it.

After calming Ximen the Fatty down and having him continue guarding the door, Jiang Taixuan returned to the dojo to wait for customers.

Soon, quite a few martial artists arrived. Ximen the Fatty activated his bloodline again, showing off proudly. He felt incredibly smug inside.

In the past, as a trash, he had been looked down upon and even kicked out of his family, dumped here in this place. Ximen the Fatty had felt utterly aggrieved. Now that his bloodline was activated, he finally got to vent his frustrations. Without realizing it, he held his head a little higher.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. It was already dark, and Ximen the Fatty looked somewhat pale. After all, keeping his bloodline active consumed a lot of Primeval Qi and energy. Even with Spiritual Herbs, they weren’t a cure-all.

If not for his desire to show off, Ximen the Fatty would have stopped long ago.

Seeing Ximen the Fatty, pale-faced and slightly trembling, yet wearing a triumphant smile, Jiang Taixuan wasn’t in a good mood.

Although many customers had come today, they were all poor and couldn’t afford anything. Only a few had bought the cheapest entry-level Martial Arts Techniques!

Opening the Celestial Network and checking the messages, it was no surprise that the Divine Devil Dojo had become a hot topic.

Zhao Qing posted a thread describing the Divine Devil Dojo. It could activate bloodlines, offered top-tier cultivation methods, and even had premium pills for tempering the body. The prices were a bit higher than ordinary pills, but they were very cost-effective.

In the thread, Zhao Qing eagerly shared his own situation and mentioned that his bloodline had been activated for just one hundred Yuan Coins.

One hundred Yuan Coins!

For ordinary people, this was an astronomical sum, but for Innate Martial Artists who weren’t doing too badly, it was generally manageable.

Moreover, Zhao Qing had failed to awaken his bloodline before. Typically, the chance of a second awakening was minuscule, almost impossible!

In the past, how much had Zhao Qing spent trying to awaken his bloodline? No one knew, but it certainly wasn’t just one hundred Yuan Coins. The resources expended would shock any Innate Martial Artist.

Other Innate Martial Artists who had visited the dojo also spoke up, confirming that Zhao Qing’s claims were true.

The Wanyi Commerce Guild was now trying to win Zhao Qing over and gave their support.

More importantly, the matter of the Top Grade Bloodline was confirmed!

The people at the Clear Moon Academy were all blind. They had treated a Top Grade Bloodline as a lowly servant and sent him to guard the Herb Field!

“Top Grade Mutant Mystic Tortoise Bloodline, Ximen Qing, now a Martial Artist. Surpassing Foundation Building in the future is a certainty. Clear Moon Academy, where is your face?” – Tang Qingming from Wanyi.

“In my life, I’ve never admired anyone, but I admire Clear Moon Academy!”

“Same here. They gave away the Land Deed and a Top Grade Bloodline. I bet Clear Moon Academy is absolutely the Divine Devil Dojo’s favorite son!”

“Very likely. If they weren’t their father, why would they give them the Land Deed and a Top Grade Bloodline?”

Pah!

Jiang Taixuan, Clear Moon Academy will be your sworn enemy!
