"Everyone has an inherent elemental affinity."
Laila continued to explain, "Some people are naturally close to the Fire Element, while others are more compatible with the Water Element. Finding your most compatible element is the key to unleashing your potential."
During the class training session, students needed to try to guide various elements from the Elemental Pool.
When it was Ron’s turn, he found that guiding the Light and Fire Elements was particularly smooth, as if intuitively making those golden and red light points swirl around his fingertips.
"Oh... this is rare." Laila observed Ron’s performance, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes:
"Besides the Fire Element, you seem to have a natural affinity with the Light Element."
She looked at Ron thoughtfully, "Typically, those with Light Element affinity often come from families with extraordinary bloodlines. What about your family background...?"
"I come from an ordinary Bloodline Knight family in the Faruk Kingdom."
Ron replied somewhat reservedly, "As far as I know, there’s no particularly prominent Light Element bloodline heritage in my family."
Laila nodded slightly, not feeling surprised, "The mysteries of bloodlines sometimes span several generations before they manifest. Keep practicing, you obviously have an extraordinary talent in this area."
After class, Ron pondered over Laila Master’s words.
His affinity with the Light Element might be related to the special talent "Sun’s Protection (Fragment)," which also vaguely aligned with the "Sun Flame Dragon" mentioned by Andre.
Leaving the teaching area, Ron decided to go to the library to further research this area of knowledge.
The library remained serene and peaceful, with a soft light filtering through the tall stained-glass windows, illuminating the dust floating between the ancient bookshelves.
Ron came to the Guiding Stone, clearly expressing his needs: "Extraordinary Bloodlines, Alien Race Extraordinary Professions."
The light points guided him to a section dedicated to racial studies and bloodline research materials.
He took a few books from the shelves that seemed most relevant:
"Extraordinary Bloodline Encyclopedia," "Examination of Extraordinary Professions of Alien Races," "Dragon Descendant Bloodline Origin," and "Ancient Bloodline and Modern Mutation."
Finding a quiet corner to sit down, Ron began reading seriously.
Turning to "Examination of Extraordinary Professions of Alien Races," he discovered that apart from their innate bloodline talents, each race has developed a corresponding system of extraordinary professions:
"The Beast Race’s ’Weapon Master’ specializes in various weapon uses, able to quickly adapt to different weapon types in battle..."
"The Forest Elf’s ’Natural Priest’ possesses various innate natural attribute-like magic techniques;
Above them, there are the royal family guarding the Life Tree - Moon Elves, but they are now rarely seen..."
"The Dwarf’s ’Rune Artisan’ can create special objects that are lasting and stable..."
"The Sea Siren’s ’Tide Singer’ manipulates water flow through special melodies and can even summon terrifying storms that sweep over everything across the sea surface..."
"Extraordinary Bloodline Encyclopedia" details the known types of extraordinary bloodlines and their level divisions:
"Bloodlines are generally divided into six ring levels based on their purity and strength: Copper Ring, Silver Ring, Golden Ring, Star Ring, Moon Ring, and Sun Ring bloodlines, named after celestial bodies and metals, symbolizing their power levels and rarity."
"Copper Ring bloodline can only provide slight enhancements to perception or constitution, such as night vision or cold resistance traits;
Silver Ring bloodline begins to show clear extraordinary traits, capable of granting basic abilities like Elemental Affinity or Animal Communication."
"Golden Ring bloodline holders often display extraordinary talents, such as Elemental Manipulation or Body Transformation;
Star Ring bloodline transcends mortal limits, granting possessors rare abilities such as Space-Time Perception or Prophecy.
Moon Ring bloodline can be called mythical, possessing the potential to distort reality;
And Sun Ring bloodline is almost only found in ancient legends, believed to possess the power to alter rules."
Ron continued reading and learned that now most knights, even after bloodline activation, at most possess a Silver Ring bloodline.
Even old clans like the royal family rarely have anyone reach the Golden Ring level.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
To preserve bloodline capabilities of Golden Ring and above for each generation, it seems one has to rely on mysticism methods...
The following description of Dragon Species again opened his eyes:
"Dragon Species possess the strongest and purest bloodlines known among all races. Even mixed descendants often have talents far exceeding ordinary races. Ancient Dragon Kings were not without Moon Ring bloodline holders, and the mythological First Dragon was believed to have reached the Sun Ring level."
"Dragon Descendants typically have powerful Elemental Affinity, outstanding physical constitution, and long lifespans."
"The quantity of Dragon Descendants decreased drastically after the Third Era, with pureblood Dragon Species almost extinct. Nowadays, the so-called ’Dragonmen’ mostly only retain very thin Silver Ring or Golden Ring Dragon Bloodlines, far from the true Star Ring or Moon Ring Dragon Species."
"Over time, high-purity bloodlines gradually diluted, and today’s ’Dragonmen’ are as distant from ancient True Dragons as fireflies from the sun’s light."
The book also mentioned a key concept - "Bloodline Retracing":
"In theory, all diluted bloodlines could potentially be retraced to more pure states through specific rituals. This retracing process is extremely dangerous, with low success rates, but if successful, it could grant the bearer powerful abilities akin to their ancestors."
After reading these materials, Ron gained a more systematic understanding of extraordinary bloodlines.
