chapter 718 a seven tiered bloodline
max smiled and asked, "what is it?"
emily couldn't control her excitement and almost shouted out as she hugged him, "it's amazing, little max. although not by much, my bloodline seems to have become purer and stronger. moreover, the second ability of my bloodline seems to be awakening now. no wonder your women want to spend as much private time with you as they can."
"i think if it strengthens at this rate, after we have sex eight to ten times, my second ability will awaken." "that's good." max patted her back, not too surprised by her words. when he had scanned her bodyâwhen she had deactivated her bloodlineâhe had already felt her bloodline wasn't at its full potential. so, it didn't come as a surprise that after absorbing the nascent energy, it became stronger.
if he, however, knew just how much potential her bloodline had and that emily had awakened it at its initial level due to the concentration of it being very thin in her body, he would've been shocked.
imperial bloodline was a very high-level bloodline and was among the best of the best in the world. it was divided into seven tiers, tier-1 being the weakest and tier-7 the strongest. also, each tier had a corresponding bloodline ability, meaning it had seven bloodline abilities.
just this fact was something so ridiculous that even someone like wyomin, alton, or verana, who all had quite powerful bloodlines, would have a hard time believing it.
ordinarily, bloodlines had one or two abilities. even the williams' bloodline had just two abilities, and very few members could awaken the second. only some rare and high-grade bloodlines had more than two abilities; alton's rothchild bloodline was among these, as it had three abilities.
they didn't know if anyone had a bloodline that had more than three abilities in the entirety of the central plains. though they had heard rumors that the elusive demon raceâdevils' paragonsâhad four bloodline abilities.
it should be known that just creating a bloodline was a tall task for supreme mages because it was just too complicated a matter and took a lot of their time and energy.
so if they wanted to add a special ability on top of that, it would become even trickier and would take a lot of time, hundreds or maybe thousands of years sometimes, just to add a decent ability in their bloodline, not to mention several kinds of preparations.
no matter how long a supreme mage's lifespan was, he wouldn't want to spend a significant portion on it, especially knowing that after a few generations, if no talented descendent was born or something bad happened, which in the magic world was a normal thing, their bloodline would thin out if not lost entirely.
so, it was difficult for most people to imagine someone possessing a bloodline that had more than two abilities, not to mention seven.
...
seeing he wasn't shocked or even surprised, emily added, "not only that, i can feel just two abilities isn't the end. i could awaken more in the future as my bloodline strengthened."
then seeing she seemed to be feeling a little down, he asked, "this second ability, can you feel what it can do?"
she had already told him, lily, and sera about her first ability, overdrive, as she named it. it enhanced her focus and made her stronger as she fought. the more she fought, the stronger she would become.
emily shook her head. "no. i don't. but i have a faint feeling that it wouldn't directly help me increase my battle power."
"so, a support-type ability, huh. just as i thought." max muttered.
seeing her look at him with a questioning gaze, he told her about the golden halo he saw and that he had felt a bloodline resonance with her.
"i feel you will be able to use this second ability to boost your companions' battle power, or at the very least, mine since i had the resonance." he said,
emily's eyes gleamed brightly when she heard this. if what he said was true, then this was a very useful ability.
'i'll be able to help him and be with him on the battlefield.' she thought, feeling excited. but then she clenched her fists. 'but to do that, i have to increase my cultivation base. otherwise he wouldn't allow me to fight alongside him.'
as soon as she thought this, she immediately pushed him off her and sat up before saying, "i'm going to cultivate and digest this energy you gave me."
she then noticed he was still hard as a rock. hesitating a little, she added, "you can call lily over if you can't wait for me to finish. or better yet, cultivate with me. you also need to digest the energy, right?"
hearing her last sentence, max hurriedly said, "no. i can store the nascent energy in my dantian and use it later. so, i don't need to cultivate immediately unlike you. so, you go ahead and cultivate. i will call lily."
emily narrowed her eyes and muttered, "it would have been good if i could do the same."
without max informing her, she could tell she needed to digest the nascent energy as soon as possible; otherwise, some of it would get absorbed into her body automatically while the rest would leave her.
"you might be able to in the future." max said. he had thought about absorbing all of the nascent energy from her and giving it to her later, but he immediately realized she wouldn't be able to use it herself to increase her cultivation after that for some reason and would need him to help her, which would waste a lot of time. and since digesting it immediately was for the best, he dropped the idea.
"alright. cast an isolation barrier around me and call her." emily said before going down the bed, taking out a cultivation mattress and sitting down on it cross-legged.
