The Guardian Tiger considered something for a long time.
"Your Azure Dragon's bloodline is… non-existent, but your White Tiger's bloodline is strong," the Tiger said. "You may even have the quality of a King."
Pearl's face lifted suddenly. "I do."
His aura changed, becoming stronger all of a sudden, as a certain symbol appeared on his forehead.
Alex had seen the symbol many times before, but hadn't questioned Pearl much about it beyond learning that it was the effect of his bloodline. Bai Jingshen had warned Pearl from talking about it to anyone, including Alex—not because they didn't trust him, but because it was far too important for them.
'The quality of a king?' Alex thought.
"So you do," the Tiger said. "I didn't expect you to be able to use it already. That makes it much easier for me to make my decision."
"What decision, senior?" Pearl asked.
The Tiger looked around. "You can't leave this world right now, can you?" he asked. "You can't leave the seal."
