Chapter 207: New Bloodline
"Alright, alright, sit here properly. Let me take a look at it. You’ll be fine in no time." Raiden sat there, cradling an injured Woolie in his arms.
"Woolie!!" I’ll be fine!! Just let me go and have a rematch against her!! Emperor Woolie never loses.
"Yes yes, you are the best~ Now sit still," Raiden said in an offbeat tone, as his palm started to shine with a deep red colour.
In the blink of an eye, the wound on Woolie’s body started to glow and close up at a speed visible to the naked eye. His pale face also started to regain some colour.
In just under a minute, Woolie jumped back on his feet again, back to full power.
"Woolie Woo!!" Alright, time for round two!!
He slipped away, eager to get his honour back.
Raiden watched him go, shaking his head. At this point, he had already made peace with the nature of his Terra Beasts. They were all battle junkies and liked to cause trouble. Just seeing them raise hell and fight everywhere increased his blood pressure, so he adapted a new mentality.
’If I didn’t see it, it didn’t happen. What? You are saying my Woolie is leading an uprising rebellion amongst the wild Terra Beasts in the jungle?? Don’t joke around. He is a peaceful sheep; he would never do it. What?? You are saying Neva burned down the forest?? No way, she is my sweet little daughter; no way she did it. She just burned down a small patch of a few kilometres; don’t exaggerate. My Terra Beasts are the most peaceful ones out of all of them.’
This was the mentality that helped him survive; otherwise, he would have gone mad long ago.
As for his new powers of healing, it was the last gift given to him by Aunt Ruby.
"System, pull up my status screen."

{Prince of the Blood: Bloodline granted by the Laws Of The World. It allows the user to manipulate blood to heal any wounds and create a protective dome around himself. The stronger the user is, the stronger the powers. It also provides the user with Divine Protection that can save his life 3 times.}
Prince of The Blood. It was the last gift that Ruby bestowed upon him, which gave him powers to protect himself.
Raiden practised and researched intensively on how to make use of this power. Since there was no healer in the team, he ended up taking this role himself, working as a field medic for Woolie and Neva, who returned with injuries every single day after fighting deep in the jungle.
He had no idea what or who they were fighting, because he never ventured that deep into the jungle with them, but the results of their training were visible to the naked eye.
Fighting on a daily basis, Woolie and Neva had grown stronger, much stronger than they were on the battlefield.
But Rose was born even stronger, and if he was not wrong, she would have been born at an even higher level. It was he who was holding her back.
Raiden, as a Golden Tier Battle Master, was way too weak to handle Rose’s full power, causing her to seal it up inside of her.
"I just hope things stay peaceful like this for a while." He muttered to himself.
His system can propel him to absolute godhood. The only thing he was lacking right now was time.
----------------------------
"It’s been three months. Shouldn’t we start moving out now?" A female voice rang out in the dark.
"We don’t need to take the actions ourselves. We can send someone else to prob the situation. We still don’t know what kind of divine powers Ruby bestowed upon him. Why take the risk?" Another male voice called out from the side.
"All right, Bai Zhang, it’s your turn now. You failed last time. This is your last chance. Don’t disappoint us, or..." A deeply sinister voice called out, causing anyone who was listening to break out in goosebumps.
"Don’t worry, leader, it was my fault last time, but this time I am absolutely sure he wouldn’t be able to escape my hands. I plan to take action personally." Bai Zhang pushed his glasses up as he spoke in a calm tone, his face full of confidence.
"I hope so, for your sake and mine as well. The main family has already been divided into two factions. They can’t afford another failure, and neither can I. If you fail..."
Bai Zhang just nodded. He deeply knew how the Mann family worked. He had been undercover for the past six years, after all. They didn’t tolerate any failure.
If he didn’t do it, his fate would end up being worse than death.
"I will not fail. Just watch me."
----------------------------
"Are you sure you are not joking about it??"
"I swear on my family honours, it’s all true! I challenged Morgana’s boyfriend to a manly duel, and I lost!! He was truly very strong, stronger than everyone here." A silver-haired boy who looked like a girl spoke with a serious expression on his face.
Hearing him talk, everyone had astonished expressions on their faces.
Silk might have looked weak, but he was legit one of the strongest guys in their batch at Archon Academy.
They were all heaven-chosen, each coming from a major, prominent family. Their background was bigger than the last.
This led everyone to grow curious about Morgana’s rumoured boyfriend, who was even stronger than them.
"Hey Morgana, is this true? If so, when are you going to let us meet your boyfriend??" One of the girls asked curiously.
Hearing it, Morgana just fumed in anger. She still felt angry about that phone call she had earlier in the day.
"Don’t mention that bastard in front of me. He is the worst!!"
