Chapter 9 Bloodline [Sun Quetzalcoatl]
Chapter 9 Bloodline: [Sun Quetzalcoatl]
Ash boiled the pheasant into chicken soup and ate it in big mouthfuls.
'The chicken tastes like chicken. It's a really good chicken.'
Ash licked his lips. He found that the edible monsters were all delicious.
Taking out the whetstone, Ash sharpened the edges of his two daggers and then applied sword oil.
I didn't expect this to activate an achievement.
{Activate achievement [Man and Sword I]: Maintain your sword 2/3 times.}
After looking at the information, Ash let out a sigh of relief. It seems that the difficulty is not high. If it is 10 times, it will probably take decades to complete.
'But I was able to find a trick. This achievement should be easier to complete than I thought.'
Ash looked at the word number 2 in the word "Confidence", and then looked at the two daggers in his hands.
After maintaining the sword, Ash took the wooden sword he had purchased and began to practice basic swordsmanship in the room.
{Achievement: [Sword in the Heart II] achieved, reward: achievement points*2}
{Activate achievement [Sword in the Heart III]: Practice swordsmanship 1000/10000 times.}
Looking at the information, Ash sighed: "It's really a tenfold promotion. It's getting harder and harder."
However, the higher the difficulty, the more precious the rewards will be.
Ash had a feeling that after completing this series of achievements, he would be rewarded with something extraordinary.
After finishing the training, Ash wiped the sweat off his face and looked at his existing achievement points.
[Achievement Points: 12]
"It turns out that taking risks makes money faster than playing it safe."
Ash looked at the panel, wondering where to add these achievement points.
Although we don’t know when the story will begin, all plans must be made based on the worst-case scenario, for example, the story will begin this winter.
So before that, he must be able to use all the resources he has and build up his strength in a snowball manner.
"Where should I add it?" Ash thought.
Learning skills can no longer be increased. When Ash used a skill today, he could feel his body reaching the limit.
No matter how good your learning skills are, it will be a joke if you can't use them.
"Your body can't handle it?" Ash turned his attention to the race.
It seems that due to the influence of the supernatural, the reproductive isolation in this world is quite weak. In addition, some highly intelligent monsters live together in human form, so there have always been many hybrids.
After so many years of reproduction, no one knows whether their ancestors have interbred with other races unless there is a clear family tree.
And judging from the myths, the Homo sapiens race itself has a powerful bloodline, but it has declined.
"Let's dig for blood." Ash determined the direction.
Good blood can not only raise a person's potential, but also greatly enhance his combat effectiveness, such as strengthening the physique and increasing elemental affinity.
[Achievement Points: 12-》2]
Do it as soon as you think of it. Ten achievement points were consumed in an instant, and Ash's consciousness suddenly entered a space filled with light beams.
The first time Ash saw the beams of light, he knew what they represented.
They represent the bloodlines of his ancestors, the higher the bloodline, the higher the level, and the brighter the bloodline, the higher the concentration.
Ash took a quick glance, then his eyes went directly to the two tallest pillars.
If you have to choose, you must choose the strongest one
One is completely golden but very close to transparent, and you can vaguely see a long creature with six wings.
The other one was actually made of black iron, bronze, silver, and gold in sequence. The black iron was almost solid, and the gold was almost transparent like the other side.
This should be the bloodline of the Homo sapiens, Ash judged. After choosing between the two pillars, Ash controlled his consciousness without hesitation and crashed into the pure gold pillar.
His intuition told him that there must be a big flaw in the bloodline of the Homo sapiens, otherwise the power of the bloodline would not have been weakened for three consecutive eras.
Although the enhancement brought to him by the other one is not as good as that of Homo sapiens, it is safer and the improvement should be quite high.
【Sun Quetzalcoatl】
Ash understood the bloodline represented by this golden pillar.
[Sun Quetzalcoatl] began to emit golden light under the blessing of an unknown force, greedily absorbing the power of other bloodline light pillars.
During this process, its solidity is also improved little by little.
Outside, Ash's body temperature began to rise little by little, slowly reaching about 50 degrees Celsius.
In this high temperature, his body functions did not fail rapidly, but instead grew stronger little by little.
Just like high temperature melting steel, his bones and bone marrow were gradually melted and transformed in the high temperature, taking on a hint of gold.
In the bloodline space, one bloodline light column after another was devoured by the [Sun Feathered Serpent]. Only after half of the bloodline light columns were devoured did the [Sun Feathered Serpent] stop absorbing, and the power of the achievement points was exhausted.
Ash's consciousness was also kicked out of the blood space.
The moment Ash regained consciousness, a heavy sense of sleepiness overwhelmed him.
Call ~
Ash lay directly on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, Ash was awakened by a blinding light.
"Have I slept until noon?" Ash said to himself as he looked at the scorching sunlight outside the window.
After sitting for a while and getting rid of his sleepiness, Ash checked his gains from yesterday.
{Bloodline: [Solar Feathered Serpent] has been activated, current concentration is 1.2%.}
{Affected by blood, the inherent skill [Sun Blessing] has been solidified.}
[Solar Blessing]: Standing under the sun, your three-dimensional basic attributes will be permanently improved, and the recovery speed of red, blue and green will be increased. The improvement effect is affected by the blood concentration of [Solar Quetzalcoatl].
{Affected by blood, the inherent skill [Iron Bones] has been solidified.}
[Iron Bones]: The toughness of your bones increases slightly, and your ability to withstand blows increases slightly.
'Isn't this Superman?'
Looking at the effect of [Solar Blessing], Ash couldn't help but be shocked. It was really abnormal that one could improve strength by basking in the sun.
"It's worth all the achievement points I spent." Ash nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at his current panel.

Ash scratched his chin with his fingers: "But besides me, there aren't many people in the world who have more inherent skills than learned skills."
Standing in the sun, Ash felt a warm sensation all over his body, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.
"I wonder how high my challenge level is now?" Ash clenched his fists.
Challenge level is a grading system proposed to distinguish combat power. The specific algorithm is personal level multiplied by challenge coefficient.
(Note: Challenge level is not recorded on the panel)
The challenge coefficient is composed of four factors: the rarity of the profession, the strength of the equipment, the strength of the bloodline/race, and the strength of the skills, and ranges from 0-10.
Ash estimated that his current challenge coefficient had to be at least 4. If he changed into better equipment, it might be able to reach 5.
