Chapter 43: The Silver Dragon Mark

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

"You have an unusual identity." "The Liu Family is not worthy of your service." "You can only be a Guest Warrior whichever Family you join." "After you awaken your Bloodline, you will find them to be only a group of contemptible scoundrels…"

All of a sudden, Lu Li finally made sense of what Lu Ling said before, and also why he had such little filth and obstruction in his energy channels. He understood all his previous doubts now. So, he had such a great origin? His father was such a powerful warrior!

The more powerful the Bloodline Warrior was, the purer the Bloodline was, and the greater chance for the offspring of the said warrior to successfully awaken a Bloodline. Since every direct male offspring of the Lu Family could awaken Bloodline, then the likelihood for Lu Li do to so should also be great.

When Lu Li recalled the violent shaking of the altar during the awakening process and the boiling blood, his heart filled with remorse. Should it not be for the problem of the animal tooth pendant, he was sure that he could awaken the King Kong Bloodline and acquire the Mystic Armor Bloodline Skill.

"But…"

Lu Li suddenly thought of something and asked his sister in bewilderment, "Sis, since our Lu Family is so strong, and father is a direct offspring, how come the family never looked for him, or us? And, where is Central Plains? On the Northern Desert?"

"Central Plains!"

Lu Ling sighed. "I don’t know where Central Plains is. Father said if we desired to go to Central Plains, we must use the Colossal Teleportation Formation of the three Royal Families of the Northern Desert. That is why I want you to join the three Royal Families of the Northern Desert and become their Guest Warrior. This is the only way for us to be teleported to Central Plains, to our family, the Lu Family!"

"As for… why the Family never seeked our father or us, I don’t know. Maybe it is because that the Family is so far away, or they don’t even know our father is here, or our existence."

"The reason I want you to join the Fifth-rank Royal Families is because I want us to be teleported to Central Plains and find rescue to save our father. Only our Family sending powerful warriors can save our father and mother!"

Lu Ling’s words made Lu Li even more agitated. Lu Ling said nothing about their father and mother all his life. Since she opened her mouth about this, there was no reason for Lu Li just to let it go. He continued his questions, "Where are our father and mother? Sis, now that you said our father can defeat Powerhouse of the Human Sovereign Realm, and considering the fact that there is no such powerhouse in the entire Northern Desert, then, who can hurt him or trap him?"

"Father and mother are up north!"

Lu Ling pointed to the north and said, "They are in the Ice Abyss, at the bottom. No one in the Northern Desert can make it to the bottom of the Ice Abyss, not even the powerful warriors of the Super Families. Because of that, we can only save father and mother by inviting rescue from our Family."

"Ice Abyss!"

Lu Li once again trembled. That was the most dangerous place of the Northern Desert. It was said that even a powerhouse of the Human Sovereign Realm could not make it back alive once they entered. His father and mother were inside?

Lu Li took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice, "Father and mother have been missing for 15 years. Sis, how can you be sure that they are still alive?"

"I can be!"

Lu Ling took out a beautiful jade token from her inside pocket and handed it over to Lu Li. "This is father’s Token. There is a trace of his spiritual soul inside it. If father is dead, the Token will be shattered as well. So, father is definitely alive. He is just trapped at the bottom of the Ice Abyss and cannot get out…"

Lu Li took over the Token and saw a lively and vigorous "Lu" character in calligraphy on the Token. Lu Li got even more excited as passion filled his eyes. He was trembling and shaking out of excitement. After quite a while, he finally calmed down enough to ask, "Sis, how did father fall to the bottom of the Ice Abyss? Being pursued by enemies?"

"No!"

Lu Ling shook her head. "He got in by himself. He was there to save mother. When you were born, I was only four years old, but I remembered it clearly. Father had encountered strong enemies and mother was injured. That was why you were born prematurely. But mother went in a coma because of the huge loss of blood. When father came back from his fight against the powerful enemies… mother was not even breathing."

"Father told me a few things and then brought mom to the Ice Abyss. He said there was some elixir inside the Ice Abyss that can save mother, but, they were gone for 15 years…"

With these words, Lu Ling’s phenomenal face was covered in tears. Longing and worry were shown on her pretty face. A picture emerged in Lu Li’s mind upon hearing Lu Ling’s words…

A man came back from fight against enemies, only to find his wife covered in blood and not breathing. Lying next to her were their newly born son and a daughter in tears. He kneeled down and shouted in devastation. He shouted so loudly that heaven and earth shook, that ice fell from the mountains. To bring his wife back to life, he had to tell their four-year old daughter some things. Then, despite his hurtful feelings, he left their four-year old daughter and newly-born son behind and carried his wife, whose body had gone cold, and ran towards the Ice Abyss alone. He jumped into the Ice Abyss with determination after he broke through the blockage of numerous Xuan Beasts…

"Father, mother!"

On the thought of this, tears filled Lu Li’s eyes. He barely cried since he was a kid yet, he could not hold it back this time.

He somehow felt guilt when he thought about father being trapped at the Ice Abyss for 15 years, not being clear whether mother was alive or not, also about her sister who lost parents when she was only four years old, who had to shoulder the heavy responsibilities put on her by their father, and who had to raise him by herself.

Lu Li kneeled down on the ground; with his head on his sister’s knees, he said with guilt, "Sis, I am sorry. I am useless. I cannot awaken the King Kong Bloodline. It is my mistake!"

"I don’t blame you…"

His sister wiped off her tears and sighed. "The animal tooth pendant was left to you by our father. This is our destiny. Um… but, father is so powerful and yet he left no other treasure for you but just the animal tooth pendant? And, you just said you got a Bloodline Skill?"

"Yes!"

Lu Li straightened his body and nodded. "There is some additional information in my head. It should be the Bloodline Skill Burning Blood. But how come there is no mark on my neck?"

Lu Ling took a closer look and was sure that there was no Bloodline mark on his neck. She gave it some thoughts and said, "Take off your shirt and let’s see."

Lu Li got up and took off his shirt, and his brawny muscles emerged. Lu Ling stood up with the help of her walking stick and walked around Lu Li. When she got to Lu Li’s back, she screamed in astonishment, "This, this, this…"

Lu Ling, even still young, was always prudent and calm. She even managed to keep a straight face when Di Han and Di Huo killed to their doors, but this time, she even said "this" for three times in a row. Therefore, she must be panic-stricken.

Lu Li turned around and asked with a frown, "Something up?"

"Bloodline Mark!"

Lu Ling pointed to Lu Li’s back. "Your Bloodline Mark is on your back. It’s big. It looks like a dragon? Also, it is… silver!"

"What?"

Lu Li’s eyes were wide open as he could not believe this. He hurried back into his room and observed with the help of a bronze mirror. A few looks later, his mind and soul were blown away.

There were some silver patterns on his back, covering more than half of his back, and forming a mysterious pattern of a hovering silver dragon.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black and gold!

These were the nine colors of the Bloodlines, representing the nine ranks. Red meant First Rank and gold the Ninth Rank. Why did he get a silver one?

Besides, it was commonly known around the Northern Desert that the Bloodline Mark should be on the neck. Whether one was a Bloodline Warrior could be told by seeing if there was a Bloodline mark on the neck.

Hence, Lu Li turned around and asked her sister with doubt, "Sis, did I awaken the Bloodline or not? What is this?"

Lu Ling was confused all the same. She thought about it and said, "Whether you have been successful or not, you can know by releasing the Bloodline Skill. You try to do that and see."

Lu Li closed his eyes and devoted himself to study the Bloodline Skill in his head. After a whole hour, he shouted in a low voice, "Burning Blood!"

"Hum!"

The silver dragon mark suddenly lit up on Lu Li’s back, sparkling. A stream of powerful energy and qi spread out, then his muscles visibly swelled up as his pupils turned silver.

"Um…"

Lu Ling shouted in surprise. At that moment, she felt that, Lu Li seemed… to have become a human-shaped dragon. Lu Li’s appearance and qi and energy made Lu Ling start trembling. There was a suffocating feeling for her.
