Chapter 180: Zhu Ba's Bloodline: the Reason for Remaining Dormant
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
Frankly speaking, in the innermost depths of his heart, Junior Leopard detested Zhu Ba for his vulgar, rude, brutal, greedy, and obscene disposition. All of the defects that men possessed seemed to be present in him.
If others had possessed those defects, Junior Leopard would pay little attention to them.
Yet much to Junior Leopard's surprise, he found that this Zhu Ba was endowed with a special one, the heaven-sent bloodline that ordinary people did not have.
This was as special as Junior Leopard's Fiery Eyes. With the ancient bloodline, Zhu Ba enjoyed the Divine Sense of this ancient bloodline. However, Zhu Ba seldom knew this point and still believed that Junior Leopard regarded him with special respect on account of his excellent aptitude and sincere attitude.
When Junior Leopard began to know his Fiery Eyes, he was apt to notice the aspect of the heaven-sent bloodline. Over these years, he had read quite a few books, thus, he somewhat understood the heaven-sent bloodline in this world. In other words, the Divine Sense of the heaven-sent bloodline was similar to the Bloodline Limit in cartoons. Only when existing in a specific clan could it be passed down in the form of a bloodline. So could the Fiery Eyes. So could the Thunder Spirit Body of the Lei Family of Tian Long Taoism. So could Zhu Ba's inborn Divine Sense, though his talent had not awakened.
There were a few people with the heaven-sent bloodline, but among which, very few people were able to wake the power of the bloodline up.
Few families had the ability to activate the heaven-sent bloodline from generation to generation, like the Lei Family of Tian Long Taoism. There were two families with this ability in the entire Jin. Although the range extended to the whole world, there were only about 10 families with this ability. As for most of the other people, it was impossible to know this ability, let alone to wake it up.
Like Zhu Ba, he did not even know that he had possessed the heaven-sent bloodline. Yet as time elapsed, on the condition that his power of the heaven-sent bloodline was not activated, the power lingering over people would be weaker and weaker and doomed to disappear forever finally.
Zhu Ba himself was ignorant of his innate bloodline, while Junior Leopard noticed Zhu Ba's abnormity through his Fiery Eyes.
Zhu Ba was an exceedingly rude fellow. He often visited Junior Leopard before the doorkeepers had told Junior Leopard. Instead, he always intruded into the cortile directly. On one occasion, Junior Leopard was practicing his own Fiery Eyes when that guy intruded there directly. At that very time, with Fiery Eyes fully open, Junior Leopard found that Zhu Ba's eyes concealed a sort of magical strength.
Much to Junior Leopard's surprise, he found that the strength of his Fiery Eyes exerted a dramatic effect on himself.
”Greed! Extreme greed!”
In that instant, an idea occurred to him that he wanted to engulf the strength of Zhu Ba's eyes. It was a strong possessiveness and most primitive greed.
This greed came from the true intention, without a trace of restraint. However, according to Junior Leopard's disposition, he could not resist this greed from his innermost heart. But what he could do, in accordance with its natural tendency, was to rob Zhu Ba's strength in the safest and most unremarkable way.
Therefore, Junior Leopard's attitude towards Zhu Ba was different from others. He even dispersed news that Zhu Ba, with his high aptitude, satisfied him, so he would give a priority in cultivating Zhu Ba. Although there was nothing to do, he still asked Zhu Ba to come here and viewed Zhu Ba's progress of martial arts. In fact, exactly like that, each time he left Zhu Ba alone, Junior Leopard would inspect his progress of martial arts.
He defeated River Heart Island and captured everything of Broken Dragon Beach, naturally including the way of Cross Training Diamond Body on which Li Sanbao depended to run wild in the Luo River. After Junior Leopard kept Zhu Ba, Junior Leopard acted as a teacher to teach his disciple; he taught him this method and answered all questions he had met during the course of the practice.
Hence, among people who practiced Cross Training Diamond Body in River Heart Island, Zhu Ba was the one who most quickly improved. Now, in the Water Camp, Zhu Ba's martial arts ranked second only to Junior Leopard, or in other words, he became the first expert aside from Zhou Bao.
For this reason, others were jealous of him.
Young as Junior Leopard was, everyone knew that he was endowed with the talent for martial arts. Furthermore, he came from an honorable family with the cultivation of Level Four at a very early age. How dreadful his combat capability was! By virtue of his rate of growth, he had a great potential to ascend into the phase of Level Seven.
For those rash people of the navy, being conducted by Junior Leopard to learn skills was an extremely lucky thing.
Therefore, never did anybody question that Junior Leopard was too young to teach others to learn martial arts skills. All of the navy people wished that Junior Leopard would take a fancy to them and give them some directions.
