Chapter 4: Fusion! The power of bloodlines! (2/2)

“Come then! No matter what bloodline power, you’re just going to fuse obediently!”

Ayrin’s body kept shaking, but he began to straighten up bit by bit.

There was no telling how much time went by. The violent heartbeats stopped. It was only that the blood inside him still seemed extremely heavy. An inexplicable intuition started to grip him, that he could make the blood flow a little faster and his body a little more relaxed if he moved a bit.

“What, you’re still not done fusing obediently!”

Ayrin put the book back, his face filled with warlike determination. He tried walking a few steps and found out it indeed made him feel a little better, so he simply walked in quick steps without ever stopping, walking straight out of the library, with its creaking floors and stairs. Then he started running along the avenue.

“So you’re fusing obediently now? There’s no fight in you.”

After running continuously for several minutes, big drops of sweat fell from Ayrin, but all the feelings of discomfort had thoroughly disappeared. His heartbeat was also back to normal.

He slowly walked on for a while and recovered his breath. He waved his fists a few times. He couldn’t feel any obvious difference in his body compared to before.

“Is the bloodline really too bad, or is it that it can only display its effects after I become an arcane master?”

Ayrin mumbled a few words to himself. He then saw shops standing everywhere in front of him. There were many clerks wearing bright-colored clothes doing their best to attract business.

Behind a full hundred stores arranged in charming disorder, there also lay a quiet park. One couldn’t see its end of with a quick glimpse.

“It’s the commercial street!”

Ayrin immediately realized he’d run all the way to the only commercial street inside Holy Dawn Academy.

The entire city of St. Lauren was built on a mountain. Holy Dawn Academy was built on a mild slope mid-mountain, on the northern side of St. Lauren. The commercial street was located in Holy Dawn Academy’s central area, adjacent to the biggest park inside the academy: the “Goddess Park.”

The “Goddess Park” had gained its name from a white tulip named “Goddess” growing in great numbers inside the park.

“Why are there so many people?”

As he subconsciously surveyed the academy’s commercial street, a street that seemed almost bigger than Cororin’s entire surface area. Ayrin saw on it a shop with a big crowd in front of its door, encircling it so tightly not even water would leak through. His curiosity was immediately piqued. He couldn’t resist finding his way there.

He squeezed through the great turbulent crowd of people with great difficulty. And then he almost fell face down on the ground at the first sight of the scene in front of him.

This was a store with a “Super Mega Giant Fried Pork Chops” signboard hanging on it. Inside the doorway, there were several fatties who’d eaten until they were clearly about to puke, but they were all still grabbing the golden fried pork chops and gobbling them ferociously.

Ayrin couldn’t understand no matter how he tried, so he couldn’t resist shouting out, “Are the pork chops that good? They still want to eat them even when they already look like this?”

Some students beside him started to speak all at once when they heard him, explaining, “It’s this store’s opening day. The boss said you can eat for free as long as you eat ten chops in one go.”

“I see.” Suddenly enlightened, Ayrin was immediately eager to give it a try. “Can anyone participate?”

“Do you actually also want to participate?”

“Stop dreaming, even a single chop is bigger than your face, it’s simply impossible to eat ten in one go. Until now, the most they’ve eaten is seven. If you can’t manage it you still have to pay the money for the pork chops you eat.”

“That’s right, don’t be fooled, it’s simply impossible to succeed. The boss is clearly scamming ignorant youngsters.”

Among such voices, Ayrin stretched his hand out and tried to measure the chops. He thought these pork chops were indeed really big.

At this time, someone carried out several pork chops.

“Tasty super mega giant pork chops! Whether you stroll by or shop by, don’t pass it by!”

“Ultra quantity, genuine super mega giant golden fried pork chops! As long as someone can eat ten, everything’s free!”

The fat boss immediately shouted vigorously, his face flushed red, a white chef uniform worn on his body. He attracted even more Holy Dawn students over.

“Uh…”

Choked by the heavy smell of grease, those challengers who were already about to puke blanched immediately. They retreated in defeat one by one. There were two of them who even immediately shoved their way out of the crowd and ran to the side of the street, retching loudly.

Ayrin was somewhat making fun of someone else’s misfortune, but the instant the thick aroma surged into his nose, a burst of completely spontaneous shudders spread out from the depths of his body. He even felt that every muscle inside his body seemed to have transformed into extremely tiny particles, all of them vibrating, rubbing against each other.

A feeling occupied his entire consciousness, as if he’d been hungry for several days and several nights, so hungry his heart beat in extreme flurry.

His body started to ache from head to toe the next moment, his pair of feet shaking nonstop.

“Gulp.” An audible clear and loud sound of swallowed saliva.

“Can I try?”

Ayrin’s eyes stared fixedly at the pieces of golden fried pork chops, unable to shift away.

“No problem.” The thoroughly red-faced boss immediately beamed like a blossoming flower when he saw a challenger come up, still not resigned. Moreover, it was even a thin and small young man. “Anyone can try, you only need to eat ten and everything will be free. But you have to eat ten chops in one go ok? My super mega giant fried pork chops are really tasty and crispy and juicy…”

The boss was in the middle of his excited speech, but then he heard a collective intake of breath.

“Nine chops… already nine…”

“Really amazing, does this guy have pure giant blood to be so good at eating?”

The boss turned his head to have a look and also became a little crazy. Ayrin had already swept clean these pork chops around him in the mere blink of an eye. Moreover, his belly bulged high, but his face still didn’t seem satisfied.

“This comrade has a truly great appetite.” The store’s boss came back to his senses and gave Ayrin’s shoulder a deeply meaningful pat, saying laughingly, “Really promising, you ate nine pieces in one go. In that case, then just eat the tenth chop. When you’re done you can have it all free!”

Then he bent down and took the tenth pork chop from behind.

“This…?”

“That’s a pork chop! That’s also a pork chop?!”

“You’re shameless!”

“Dishonest business!”

The surroundings stayed quiet for a mere second, then burst in curses overflowing the sky.

What the boss had taken out was an ultra giant pork chop several times bigger than even all the other nine chops added together. It was simply one half of a pig.

“Haha, it’s not like I ever said the ten pork chops were all the same size, how’s that shameless.” The boss was exceptionally proud of himself. “Plus I run a small business, it’s really not easy, everyone needs to be indulgent.”

“What, he can even eat that?!”

However, his incredulous voice rang inside the commercial street not even one minute later.

Under the stare of countless disbelieving eyes, Ayrin finished eating that super giant fried pork chop, then rubbed his swollen belly. He said thanks to the dumbfounded boss, then he said another sentence that made everyone around almost faint to the ground, “Eh, where are my feet, why can’t I see my feet.”
