Martial Master

Liu Tong suddenly jumped up, blocking Qin Chen's path, his face twisted in anger as he pointed at Qin Chen, spittle flying from his mouth, nearly splattering onto Qin Chen.

Qin Chen took a subtle step back, his gaze cold as he spoke in a deep voice, "Firstly, I merely borrowed the bloodline instrument and did not damage it. Secondly, even if it were damaged, that would be an issue for your Bloodline Holy Land. Do you intend to unjustly blame me for it?"

Suddenly, a sharp light burst from Qin Chen's eyes, a cold indifference towards all life, causing Liu Tong to shiver, a chilling fear piercing through his mind from deep within his heart.

He staggered back two steps, his voice trembling, "You... what do you want? This is the Bloodline Holy Land!"

His gaze shifted to the nearby guards, and Liu Tong was suddenly awakened, instantly understanding his predicament. He stopped his retreating steps, his face flushed with embarrassment, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.

Heavens, this was utterly humiliating. As a steward of the Bloodline Holy Land, he'd been scared out of his wits by a mere boy. If word got out, he wouldn't be able to maintain his standing in the Bloodline Holy Land.

Beside him, Li Wenyu showed a look of surprise, shocked by the aura Qin Chen released. Though Qin Chen was merely a teenager, the previous aura made Li Wenyu feel like he shouldn't underestimate him, making him secretly take note.

"Li Wenyu, what exactly happened in the Awakening Room?"

At this moment, a steady voice suddenly came from outside the awakening area. An elder dressed in a white robe, with a blood pattern edged with silver at the chest, walked through the crowd.

His steps were steady, his aura withheld, yet his entire being exuded an indescribable majesty. His gaze was deep, like an unfathomable cold pond, making people dare not meet his eyes.

"Oh my, it's Dongfang Qing, the president of the Bloodline Holy Land."

"What on earth happened inside to alarm the president of the Bloodline Holy Land?"

"My heavens, could there have been an earthquake in the Bloodline Holy Land?"

The martial artists gathered outside the awakening area were all stunned, each voicing thunderous discussions. As Dongfang Qing passed by, they all showed pious expressions, eyes filled with respect, as if gazing at their idol.

Dongfang Qing, the president of the Bloodline Holy Land of the Qi Kingdom, one of the most powerful figures in the kingdom, a stomp of his foot could shake the entire capital.

Normally, it was as difficult as ascending the heavens for ordinary people to see him, yet today he appeared at the awakening area, indicating a significant incident must have occurred in the Bloodline Holy Land.

For a moment, many people stood on tiptoe, straining their necks to look inside, only to see nothing.

"Fourth Level Bloodline Mystic Master!"

Qin Chen's gaze fell on the emblem on Dongfang Qing’s chest, slightly narrowing his eyes. Bloodline masters typically use blood patterns to represent their rank. One blood pattern indicates the first rank, two for the second, three for the third, and beyond the fourth rank, the blood pattern returns to one but is edged with silver. This pattern continues, with gold edges appearing from the seventh rank onwards.

The blood pattern on the other’s chest with a silver edge indicated a fourth-level mystic bloodline master.

"Li Wenyu, what happened in the Awakening Room that made me come here personally?"

Dongfang Qing was initially absorbed in thought, shocked by Qin Chen’s thunderous bloodline awakening, but was interrupted by news of an issue in the Awakening Room, and had to rush over immediately, naturally feeling displeased.

Although Li Wenyu was arrogant in front of Liu Tong, he immediately showed respect like a follower when facing Dongfang Qing, carefully saying, "President, Liu Tong was negligent, letting a guest of the Holy Land into the newly set up bloodline room with the latest bloodline instrument you acquired recently..."

"What?" Dongfang Qing's displeased expression was suddenly startled, interrupting Li Wenyu, exclaiming, "Which bloodline room did you say?"
