Bloodline Test

After finishing his shift, Lu Shen walked home under the two moons. The sight of the two moons reminded him that he was no longer on his old planet.

This was a completely different world, one filled with beasts, bloodlines, and warriors.

Tomorrow would change everything.

What if I awaken something powerful?

What if I can become someone important?

As Lu Shen walked, the world around him seemed to fade away. His thoughts were consumed by the upcoming test. He didn't know what the future held, but the uncertainty filled him with both fear and hope.

In this world, bloodlines were divided into four grades: low, middle, top, and superior, with superior being the highest. This was common knowledge, but beyond these grades, Lu Shen knew little.

He was also aware of two realms within the Bloodline Warrior hierarchy: the Refinement Realm and the Integration Realm, with the latter being recognized as the mark of a true Bloodline Warrior.

In Azure Cloud Stronghold, Bloodline Warriors of the Integration Realm were backbone of the stronghold. They were highly respected and free. As for the higher realms, Lu Shen knew little about them.

Lu Shen had few friends and limited knowledge of the Bloodline Warrior world. This information was only taught after students turned eighteen and awakened their bloodlines. Only warrior families passed down their knowledge beforehand.

As Lu Shen recalled everything he knew, a sudden bright light appeared, and something flew toward him at an incredible speed. He tried to dodge, However even so it struck him hard. his mind went dark.

Before losing consciousness, he caught a glimpse of the object, a rusty bracelet with a rainbow-colored gem at its center, emitting a mysterious light. Even in that brief moment, Lu Shen felt an powerful aura surrounding it.

Some time later…

Lu Shen groggily regained consciousness.

"What was that light? And what hit me?" He rubbed his head, trying to piece together what had happened.

"That bracelet... what was it?"

He looked around, expecting to see some damage. After all, the impact had been strong. But everything remained the same, the slums were still as black and dirty as ever. Strangely, his body had no signs of injury.

"Was it just a dream?" He shook off the thought and continued home, deciding to put the strange encounter aside for now.

Back at home, he prepared and enjoyed some demon wolf meat before heading to bed.

Exhausted from part time work, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

...

In the vast darkness of space, Lu Shen found himself sitting alone.

Time passed until he noticed a man wearing the same mysterious bracelet he had just encounter.

"That's the same bracelet! Who is he?"

The man stood frozen, his posture tense, as if he were being pursued. Suddenly, he turned around, his expression filled with pain and rage.

"You traitor! I treated you like a brother, and you betrayed me?!" the man roared.

Opposite him stood another man, his body engulfed in flames. He smirked maliciously. "Idiot. You had power, status, everything. And yet, I had nothing. I never saw you as a brother."

The bracelet wearing man clenched his fists. "As if I never did anything for you! I eliminated all your enemies!"

"Hah! So what? Shut up and hand over the Origin Bracelet, or die!"

The bracelet-wearing man's expression darkened. "I should never have given you the Lu family name, Lu Wang. And now, you've even poisoned me... Even as a supreme master, I can feel my strength dropping!!."

Lu Wang laughed cruelly. "What can regret do for you now? Give me the Origin Bracelet! A new king shall rise!"

The flaming man wielded terrifying fire and he attacked, while the bracelet wearing man, his face darkened, he had no choice but to strike back with various elemental attack. However, it was clear Lu Wang had the upper hand.

Lu Shen: "...."

Seeing a scene straight out of a novel, where the main character is betrayed by his girlfriend or best friend, he was dumbfounded and he didn't know what to do. However, he knew that if this was reality, he had to run from here.

"Shit, I will die if this is real, but why can't I move my body?"

"What is the Origin Bracelet they're fighting for?"

"Move!"

"I said move!"

Lu Shen could only watch them fight with a bitter smile as his body stood frozen in the void, However one thing was clear, this wasn't real.

He was certain that it could only be a dream or a memory of this body.

After all if this was real then he might have already died from this world ending fight.

.....

After an intense battle, Lu Wang began to overpower his opponent.

"Even if I die, I won't let you have the Origin Bracelet!" The mysterious man chanted ancient words coldly.

"Stop, you fool! You'll destroy everything!" Lu Wang cried out in horror.

The mysterious man only laughed.

"Then let's go to hell together!"

BOOM!!!.....

A massive explosion followed. Both figures vanished as if erased from existence.

From that battlefield a weak voice echoed in the void. "To my inheritor... learn from my mistakes. True friends stand with you, not against you."

"Go, Origin Bracelet. Find the one fated to you."

.....

Lu Shen woke up in bed, he was drenched in sweat, his back sticking to his bed sheets. As he glanced around, he realized he was in his old and damage room, barely six square meters in size, and the morning light was already streaming through the window.

"Was that... a dream?"

He frowned. "But I saw the same bracelet yesterday..."

"Those men were so powerful... stronger than any warrior I've ever heard of. Even a true bloodline warrior master can only destroy broken house, but they fought as if they could destroy entire planets."

Shaking his head in confusion and he felt hard to belfe what he had seen just now, he checked the time, he noticed it was 9:00 AM.

"I should get ready for the academy."

After a quick meal, Lu Shen headed to Northern High Academy.

Awakening Hall

Students gathered in the large hall, whispering anxiously. Some were excited, others nervous. A middle aged man stepped forward.

"I am the vice principal. I hope today's awakenings go smoothly. Good luck."

With that, he stepped aside,

"Do you know that Class A goddess Huo Rong has a top-grade water attribute bloodline, the Water spirit?" a student exclaimed.

"Yeah, man, she's so lucky to awaken a top grade bloodline. I wish I had the same bloodline"

"You wish" a student retorted sarcastically

" Ha ha "

"Quiet, all of you!!" Teacher Tang Said in loud voice.

"Make a line according to gender and go to the awaken stone to test your bloodline"

"Su Si."

A student stepped forward and placed his hand on the awakening stone.

"Middle-grade Fire Tiger bloodline."

Gasps filled the hall.

"Wow! He's lucky!"

"He'll have a bright future."

Teacher Tang nodded approvingly. "Good. You may return."

"I wish I had his luck" a student muttered, casting an envious glance at Su Si.

Seeing the envy and hearing everyone talking about him, Su Si felt proud as he returned to his seat, and the next student approached the awaken platform.

...

"Low grade ant"

the announcement brought silence to all students.

"Oh god, why, why?" He cried out, tears streaming down his face, his cries loudly as he stepped down with a red face, tears staining his cheeks.

" hai, what can he do"

" God please give not high but at least middle grade"

"Ha ha what a trash"

Some sighed, some were filled with pity for that student, some felt scared, and some even began to pray to God.

In this era, those with low grade bloodlines have no chance of becoming true bloodline warriors, so, they can only be in the bloodline refinement realm, possessing a strong body but nothing else like long lifespan.

To ascend to high status, one must possess at least a middle grade bloodline and If they don't have a high level bloodline, they can only be common people working for the bloodline warriors until they die from overwork.

"Next."

"Low grade."

"Middle grade."

"Low grade."

"Middle grade."

"Low grade."

"Middle grade."

.....

Seeing the results of class B, the vice principal sighed in disappointment.

"There is no top grade bloodline in this batch from class B"

Hearing the vice principal's commented, Teacher Tang became a little nervous.

Just then,

"Top-grade Earth Fox bloodline."

"What?!"

The vice principal's eyes lit up and he stand up from his seat and he spoke to teacher tang with happy face.

"Who got the top grade bloodline?"

"His name is Tangsu Ming" Teacher Tang was also surprise.

"Ha ha, good, good! He has a bright future. Take him to the elite class"

"Yes sir" Teacher Tang agreed.

"See this, our boss."

"Ha ha ha."

"Humph, after those heavenly herbs, he will definitely get a bloodline."

"What?"

"Nothing"

Some of Tangsu Ming's lackeys were praising their boss, while some students were not satisfied, and others were envious. Seeing this, Tangsu Ming became even more arrogant.

"Humph, what are these trash looking at?" Tangsu Ming muttered as he observed the envious gazes of the other students. Despite his disdain for them, it filled him with satisfaction

....

"Lu Shen, come"

Finally, Lu Shen's name was called.

"It's this poor student's turn. I wonder what his bloodline will be"

"Maybe some low grade bloodline"

"What bloodline will this trash get?"

"Who is he? Maybe he won't awaken any bloodline"

Students began to whisper about Lu Shen, with some even saying negative things while others didn't seem to care. The same was true for the teachers, as Lu Shen didn't have much presence in the academy and wasn't very active with other students.

Lu Shen despite hearing the comments of his fellow classmates, he remained calm and unaffected, so he walked towards the awakening stone platform.

Lu Shen placed his hand on the awakening stone. Warm energy surged through him, Tring to awaken something deep in his blood.

A moment later, glowing text appeared.

"Top-grade Fire Snake bloodline."

Silence.

"What?!"

Students and teachers were stunned.

The vice principal was also amazed to find more students with top grade bloodlines and he was very happy. With two top grade bloodlines, this time the Northern High Academy would definitely secure a good position in the graduation rankings.

The vice principal beamed. "Another top-grade bloodline! Take him to the elite class as well!"

Tangsu Ming was more shocked than anyone because he had used many heavenly herbs and pills to improve his potential and awaken a top grade bloodline.

Yet, Lu Shen, who was just poor, managed to awaken a top grade bloodline, which showing his true potential.

His's smug expression twisted into disbelief and frustration.

Tangsu Ming felt that Lu Shen would be a threat to his goal of achieving the top rank in the final exam.

"How did this trash awaken a top-grade bloodline?!"

Around him, students whispered excitedly. Some looked at Lu Shen in admiration, while others burned with jealousy. A few girls even cast him starry-eyed glances.

"Ha ha, what can this poor trash do? You all know how much resources it costs to increase your warrior realm. In the end, he is nothing but trash" Tangsu Ming mocked as he sneered.

"Yes, yes, Big Brother Ming is absolutely right" Chu Chu support Tangsu Ming hoping to gain favor of Tangsu Ming.

"Shut up, all of you! Keep quiet!" Teacher Tang shouted angrily.

He was angry because he didn't want to continue this while the vice principal was present. However, he was also deeply happy since two top grade bloodlines had emerged from his class, which would definitely earn him a promotion and the student argue putting him in an awkward position.

I didn't expect Lu Shen to awaken top grade bloodline

Seeing the teacher's anger, all the students fell silent, but their envy filled stare's remained fixed on Lu Shen.
