In the castle study.
Ove gently waved his magic staff, and the human silhouette in the air transformed into a staff: "This is what my bloodline looks like in the Soul Space."
Lin Ke looked at the purple staff, feeling it looked quite similar to the one in Ove's hand.
"Soul Space, after enlightenment you can enter it, and upon entering you will see your bloodline's form, which might be a staff, a broomstick, or even a castle... but it's nothing to be concerned about, these are just shapes..."
Generally speaking, enlightenment involves the Enlightenment Teacher gently opening the gate to the Soul Space and then allowing the enlightened ones to choose their bloodline within their own Soul Space.
In one's own Soul Space, there lies a limitless repository of ancestral legacy passed down through bloodlines.
Upon entering the Soul Space, they might feel as though they've entered a vast starry sky, "seeing" those bloodlines.
"The most important thing is to trust your instincts when choosing a bloodline... Actually, most people don't need to choose, since in the Soul Space they can hardly perceive anything, only see the starry sky, and the bloodline will naturally find you and then settle in your Soul Space."
"Of course, the ones who can actively choose a bloodline are truly rare."
Talking about these professional skills, Ove was visibly more confident and less socially anxious.
Simply put, opening the Soul Space involves actively or passively choosing a bloodline that then settles in the Soul Space.
So, this is the Enlightenment Bloodline.
"Teacher Ove, when shall we begin?" Lin Ke asked, impatiently wanting to experience this magical power.
"Any time, child."
Ove continued to smile as before, though Lin Ke felt it like a false face: "However, you could invite Lady Antova and Lady Fulon to witness it together."
"Of course, only them... well, too many spectators would be unwise."
The big lady was Antova Brand, and Lin Ke's mother was named Fulon Hesli.
"That's not necessary, it will be just us... by the way, teacher, how can I tell if my bloodline is good?" Lin Ke asked curiously.
"That's the best approach..." Ove nodded slightly: "As for how to tell the quality of your bloodline... simply put, they are divided into: lower, middle..."
Upon hearing that, Lin Ke understood immediately; it was somewhat like the divisions of Spirit Root in the cultivation world, with varying speeds of absorbing Spiritual Power.
I presume they are lower, middle, upper, and possibly top-tier and exceptional.
But then Ove continued: "…middle, passable, not bad, pretty good, interesting, very good, excellent, outstanding, extraordinary, highly potential, pinnacle-reaching,
and the highest is Andrew-level, named in honor of that great pioneer."
Wang Tefa...
Lin Ke was dumbfounded, with so many points to ridicule, he didn't know where to start.
This... is this all colloquial speech?
Shouldn't this be quantified?
So many dense levels, I thought there were only three levels, plus top-tier and exceptional was already impressive.
Wait.
It seemed the system once hinted that Knicks was a "highly potential follower"...
Highly potential?
That's so high?
Is it real...
As for the highest Andrew-level, Andrew was the one who founded and promoted the practitioner system, his leg even became a colloquial phrase.
The equivalent of Confucius, Laozi, Plato, and others in a previous life, or even more impressive for Naseng.
Being named after him makes sense.
"Haha, according to your father, the Azanen Clan's bloodline has always been above passable, it's an outstanding bloodline system," Ove chuckled.
Lin Ke noticed that Ove genuinely laughed when mentioning Garoce this time.
"Teacher, can the bloodline be hidden? I don't want too many people to know our bloodline level," Lin Ke pondered and asked again.
Knicks' highly potential bloodline, if it could be kept from exposure, it would be better not to reveal it.
Upon hearing Lin Ke's words, Ove was visibly taken aback.
He interacted with many nobles, and most nobles eagerly wanted the whole world to witness their offspring's enlightenment, after all, a good inheritance ensured a promising talent.
The more people who watched, the greater the fame they might gain, and at least announce to the world that this noble family has successors.
Just like in the past life, the more outstanding the heirs of some financial conglomerates were, the better; and ideally, the world would know, thus securing their inheritance.
Of course, the premise is truly having successors, although there are examples of some noble offspring having lower bloodlines, hence nobles usually would test in advance, then test publicly once more.
"No need, just let them know the result afterward," Lin Ke shook his head, sincerely gazing at Ove: "Please, teacher."
Ove said nothing further and agreed directly: "Alright, let's begin, close your eyes now, find a comfortable posture, I will enter slowly."
Well, if it weren't for your social anxiety, I'd mistake this for a kindergarten ride... Lin Ke sat cross-legged immediately, followed by the two behind sitting down.
Ove stepped carefully closer: "Close your eyes!"
Lin Ke wanted to see how Ove approached them but closed his eyes nonetheless.
Not good to annoy someone with social anxiety.
When they closed their eyes, freed from the gazing eyes, Ove sighed in relief,
this white-haired, ethereal old man stood firm, his feet seemingly rooted in place, then leaning his upper body forward, he reached out his magic staff.
His wrinkled cheeks flushed slightly, and he seemed to dare not even breathe.
The magic staff gently touched Lin Ke's head, then Knicks' and John's heads.
Then the old man swiftly returned to his seat, holding onto the chair, panting heavily.
After a while, he closed his eyes, releasing a stream of Spiritual Power that followed the marks left on the three's heads.
"Buzz..."
...
Lin Ke felt a chill touch his brow, and instantly lost all perception of the outside world.
His consciousness arrived in a boundless dark place, surrounded by various glowing points flickering.
"Is this the Soul Space?"
Lin Ke could "see" above, below, left, right countless glowing points resembling stars.
As Lin Ke's consciousness appeared, these glowing points rushed towards him like a landslide.
No, not a landslide, but billions of meteors spotting a planet to land on.
They screamed, roared, crowded, eager to be the first to touch Lin Ke, then fiercely enter his body.
"Damn! Will it hurt?!"
As Lin Ke felt chills on his scalp, a mysterious presence seemed to awaken in the depths of the boundless darkness.
"Huff..."
Suddenly, six immense glowing points appeared like suns, as though some unknown terrifying existence was breathing.
A few seconds later, these six glowing points emerged, pulsating like hearts, as if roaring.
Due to the appearance of these six glowing points, other small points suddenly ceased moving.
These ancient and massive sun-like points appeared and instantly and forcefully pushed all other points away, then leisurely approached Lin Ke, floating nearby.
Six giant points, no...
Six stars!
Is this... an indication for me to choose?
It seems he's one of the rare few who can actively choose a bloodline?
Lin Ke paused, sensing those ancient bloodlines were better than others.
Anyone who wasn't blind could see that.
"So I... choose?"
Thus, he looked at the far left point, a piece of information emerged naturally, akin to how a Chinese linguist instantly recalls the history and origin seeing a character.
"Strength."
This point means... Strength Bloodline?
Strength?
Lin Ke pondered, is this one of the powerful bloodlines left by his ancestors?
Well...
In the Magic World, possessing strength is almost equivalent to possessing everything.
Of course, only almost equivalent, not equivalent.
And, could strength merely represent physical power?
"Let's check the others..." Lin Ke wasn't rushed to decide.
If choosing, naturally, one should pick the best one.
Then he looked at the next one.
"Good luck."
Luck... what a guy.
This bloodline, when translated into plain language, would mean... Child of the World? Protagonist?
Good luck?
Should I take it...
