Chapter 73: A King Is Not Proud of Bloodline, But Bloodline Regards a King with Respect!

“You should be fine,” Meng Changqing looked at Red Gold.

“I’m fine… just need a bit of rest…” At this moment, Red Gold returned to speaking normally. That sword strike was not just holding back. It was almost sparing no effort.

“It’s alright then. I’ll be going now, there are other matters in the secret realm,” Meng Changqing smiled faintly.

“Okay,” Red Gold nodded.

The secret realm opened for seven days, and today was only the fourth day.

Before leaving, Meng Changqing also nodded towards Shi Guang and Shi Yao, who promptly responded.

In their eyes, Meng Changqing was no longer just an ordinary senior brother.

“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Meng’s true strength to be so terrifying,” Shi Yao swallowed nervously, a hint of fear still visible in his large eyes.

“Yeah,” Shi Guang nodded.

Even if he and his brother teamed up just now, they probably couldn’t have stopped that single sword strike.

It was a complete domination in strength.

But as long as he could comprehend Bloodline Techniques, he should be able to catch up.

Thinking so, Shi Guang closed his eyes tightly.

As long as he completely digested this marrow stone, he should be able to comprehend Bloodline Techniques.

Meng Changqing didn’t linger here, as there was no value in doing so, and he had other things to do.

He had to integrate the obtained attributes and find special flames.

Being a second-grade alchemist, he couldn’t afford to have no alchemical flames.

As Meng Changqing departed, the discussions about him among the disciples didn’t diminish.

On the contrary, they kept escalating.

After all, there was very little information about Meng Changqing before today, much less than other top geniuses, and many people only learned about him today.

So Meng Changqing’s appearance genuinely gave people the feeling of a dark horse!

After leaving the plain, Meng Changqing found a secluded place, sat cross-legged, and opened the character panel.

This time, he added three more friends consecutively, reaping quite a harvest.

【Host: Meng Changqing】

【…】

【Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills: “Dark Sea Returning to Origin Art” (Perfect), “Linglong Daluo Tian” (Partial Master), “Linglong Cold Moon Sword Scripture” (Perfect), “Heavenly Dominator Body” (Perfect)…】

【Unmerged Attributes: Stone Human Bloodline, Great Strength Demon Ape Bloodline】

【Remaining Rewards: Earth Grade Martial Skill Mastery Card *2, Bloodline Purification Card *1】

“Two top-tier bloodlines.” Meng Changqing clenched his hands under his sleeves slightly.

Anyone who could possess one was already blessed enough, let alone two.

But before merging them, many things needed to be clarified first.

“System, if I merge the Stone Human Bloodline, will I become like the Shi brothers?” Meng Changqing asked.

“Well… In other words, is that appearance specific to the Stone Human Bloodline?” Meng Changqing inquired further.

[The merged bloodline will be led by the host and won’t produce any anomalies.]

The system replied succinctly.

Although the words were brief, they were to the point.

Meng Changqing’s eyes instantly brightened.

No anomalies meant he could merge freely without worrying about turning into someone like Shi Guang and Shi Yao or conflicting between human and demon bloodlines.

“System, merge the bloodlines successively.” With reassurance, Meng Changqing closed his eyes and silently prayed.

Ding!

[Merge initiated!]

At the moment the word fell, Meng Changqing felt a shock in his body.

Countless chilly sensations bred within, gradually spreading.

Meng Changqing immediately activated internal vision to see the specific changes in his bloodline.

“So, this is the Stone Human Bloodline?” He clearly saw silver-white blood surging inside his body, utterly different from his original blood’s crimson hue.

Simultaneously, his flesh and bones were rapidly becoming tougher.

The Stone Human Bloodline was a body refining bloodline.

In terms of defense, it was unparalleled, even without practicing any techniques.

His body was already tough enough, like iron and stone.

The fusion of bloodlines wasn’t so rapid.

It took a full hour to complete.

Exhale!

Meng Changqing opened his eyes.

A heavy aura surged from his body, like a towering mountain, towering and indestructible!

“It’s indeed a top-tier body refining bloodline. Just the defense of the physical body alone is comparable to the complete initial stage of a Profound-level body refining technique.

“If I activate the ‘Heavenly Dominator Body’, the defense will be even more unimaginable.

“Unless a genius acts, or possesses a high-grade spiritual weapon, breaking through my defense would be extremely difficult.”

Meng Changqing nodded in satisfaction.

With this, the weakness in defense was no more.

Without giving him too much inspection time, the system began the fusion of the Great Strength Demon Ape bloodline.

It was still a strong coolness that spread throughout the body.

However, unlike the Stone Human Bloodline, under internal observation, the bloodline of the Great Strength Demon Ape was deep black, full of wildness!

Logically, when two completely different bloodlines meet, there should be repulsion…

But here, it didn’t happen.

In the thick blood vessels, red, silver-white, and black blood flowed clearly and orderly.

They seemed indifferent to each other, neither fighting nor ignoring.

“System, well done.” Meng Changqing silently gave a thumbs up.

Under normal circumstances, during fusion, his ordinary bloodline would definitely be devoured by the powerful Stone Human Bloodline, transforming into a Stone Human completely.

Then, the Stone Human Bloodline would conflict with the Great Strength Demon Ape Bloodline.

This would turn his body into a battlefield.

In a fierce battle, he wouldn’t have any good results. But now, there were no abnormalities at all.

His own bloodline remained in control, superior to both.

This was also what Meng Changqing wanted the most – to maintain his own state while possessing its functions.

Regarding bloodlines, many people crazily pursue them, worshiping them, wishing to become them completely.

But in Meng Changqing’s view, whether it’s bloodlines or any special physique, they were actually external.

They were just tools for becoming stronger.

What truly made a warrior powerful was oneself – one’s own heart.

Pursuit was necessary and must be done, as the power of bloodlines was indeed strong, but one must not confuse the position of mount and king.

What’s needed was control of the bloodline, not being controlled by it.

As the ancient saying goes, “The king does not take pride in his bloodline, but the bloodline respects the king.”

Meng Changqing slowly stood up.

On this point, he had always been very clear.

The Great Strength Demon Ape belongs to the demon beast race’s body refining bloodline, but it focuses on strength rather than defense, making it slightly weaker in defense, but superior in strength.

Boom!

Meng Changqing raised his right hand and struck out with a punch.

A terrifying fist wind swept through, and within a hundred meters to the right, the mountains and forests collapsed, presenting a scene of devastation.

“Now, if I continue to cultivate fist and palm techniques, the power will probably catch up with sword techniques under the amplification of sword qi!

“After all, the normal enhancement of the Great Strength Demon Ape Bloodline’s strength is around ten times. If the talent ‘Demon Ape Divine Power’ is awakened, it will surpass sword qi.

“But this bloodline can’t be used openly.”

Meng Changqing thought to himself.

At the same time, he looked at the palm of his hand.

At this moment, he was brimming with a demonic qi, like a transformed demon!

“It can be used as a last resort. Unless absolutely necessary, I cannot use it.”

Removing the Great Strength Demon Ape Bloodline, Meng Changqing returned to his original demeanor.
