Chapter 145: Chapter 133: Beast Spirit Awakening
...
...
The slogans were passionately chanted.
Luo De was skeptical.
He waved his hand, signaling Prophet Bai Shuang to bring the inheritance orb to him.
"Do you feel any strange energy?"
Luo De asked softly, his eyes shimmering with caution.
Prophet Bai Shuang looked at the inheritance orb, thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly, replying, "Saint Master, I don’t feel anything special."
It’s unclear whether the inheritance orb is real or not.
Luo De pondered, extending his hand to pick up the inheritance orb,
[Extraordinary Gem collected - Memory Gem]
At the moment of touch, a system prompt appeared.
Immediately, a flood of information poured into Luo De’s mind.
Luo De couldn’t help but smile slightly.
This so-called inheritance orb is actually a memory gem.
If Luo De guessed correctly, this memory gem stores the ability to awaken the innate bloodline instincts of the Wolfhoof Tribe members.
However, similar to a magic gem, using a memory gem requires a threshold.
The memory gem doesn’t rely on energy, but requires spiritual activation to access the information within.
Only with sufficient spiritual strength can one perceive the information inside.
This is why some Wildman Prophets can awaken the bloodline ability.
But Luo De doesn’t passively sense the information within; he can actively absorb the information.
Luo De closed his eyes, simply tried for a moment, and a vast amount of information flooded into his mind.
Luo De’s lips curled into a slight smile.
There was no threshold at all.
"Great Saint Master,"
Seeing Luo De beginning to comprehend the inheritance orb, the Wolfhoof Leader said respectfully,
"This comprehension usually takes a week to awaken that ability. You need to resonate with the inheritance orb, and then you can gain the ability to awaken the bloodline of the clan members."
"It won’t take a week."
A moment later, Luo De opened his eyes and calmly eyed the Wolfhoof Leader.
He wore a confident smile,
"I have already awakened the ability you mentioned."
"Ah? Is this true?"
The Wolfhoof Leader was stunned, his face full of disbelief,
"How is it possible? I have never heard of such a thing!"
"My father told me the fastest ancestor took three days to awaken!"
"How can you...?"
"Shut up, you fool!"
Prophet Bai Shuang shouted harshly, "Are you questioning the Saint Master?"
"No, no, no, I just never heard of..."
The Wolfhoof Leader stammered, his eyes flickering with excitement and some fear, "Is what you’re saying really true?"
"The ability you mentioned to awaken the bloodline, in the inheritance, is called beast spirit awakening, have you heard of it?"
Luo De didn’t waste words, extending his hand,
"You can try it, but you might not be able to awaken the bloodline power; beast spirit awakening requires certain bloodline criteria."
Luo De said calmly, "You can bring your tribesmen to try it."
"Then, then I’ll try first!"
The Wolfhoof Leader requested, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"Step forward."
Luo De ordered.
"Thank you, great Saint Master!"
The Wolfhoof Leader was excited, disregarded his image, and quickly ran to kneel before Luo De.
Following the method in the inheritance orb, Luo De placed his fingers on the Wolfhoof Leader’s temple and his hand on his head.
If it was learned from books, it would take Luo De at least ten days or half a month to cast.
But the inheritance orb had essentially implanted this process into Luo De’s mind, allowing him to cast it immediately.
The beast spirit awakening requires only a little energy assistance, relying entirely on the use of spiritual ability to cast.
Through spiritual stimulation of the target, their dormant bloodline is awakened.
As the spell was released, a hint of orange light flashed at Luo De’s fingertip.
In the next instant, a scorching energy burst forth, burning the Wolfhoof Leader’s temple!
"Ah!"
A pitiful scream rang out!
The Wolfhoof Leader instantly collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing uncontrollably, then stopped suddenly, utterly motionless.
"Did the spell fail, did it kill him?"
Luo De frowned deeply, glancing at Prophet Bai Shuang in surprise,
"The inheritance orb didn’t mention causing fatal harm to the target."
Uss stepped forward, crouching down, touching the nose,
"He seems just to have fainted, my lord."
Luo De nodded, relieved slightly.
If beast spirit awakening could lead to death, then it’s not a good ability.
"That’s good, take him away for rest; notify me when he wakes."
...
...
The Wolfhoof Leader felt like he had a very long dream.
In the dream, he raised a little wolf, which accompanied him as he grew, staying by his side.
Then he made a blood pact with that wolf and suddenly awakened into a giant wolf.
He rode the giant wolf, galloping freely across the grasslands, extremely happy.
Just as he was enjoying the thrill of the ride, an ugly monster blocked his path.
He rode the giant wolf and fiercely battled the monster, working together to kill it.
The giant wolf frantically tore the monster into shreds, swallowing it into its belly.
The giant wolf carried the monster’s flesh and blood to the Wolf Hoof Leader, who also joined in eating.
Then he grew claws, and fangs appeared in his mouth.
He transformed into an upright giant wolf.
Then the Wolf Hoof Leader naturally awoke from their slumber.
Upon awakening, the Wolf Hoof Leader was exceptionally calm.
"I, I truly awakened the Bloodline Power?"
The Wolf Hoof Leader could clearly feel that something had been added to their memory and that there were also some wondrous changes in their body, as if some dormant power had been awakened.
"Is it really the Master of the Holy Land?"
The Wolf Hoof Leader felt both surprised and delighted inside, touching the clean, warm firebed, and couldn’t help but think privately.
To have awakened their own bloodline, the identity of Luo De as the Master of the Holy Land was beyond doubt.
The Wolf Hoof Tribe must join Frost Leaf Town to receive the Saint Master’s protection!
"You’re awake?"
The nearby Prophet Bai Shuang asked, looking sharp as he scrutinized him,
"Now that you’re awake, it’s time to get down to business."
"Prophet, I have indeed awakened!"
The Wolf Hoof Leader’s voice was full of excitement as he jumped to the ground.
Prophet Bai Shuang remained much calmer: "I know, you’ve already howled like a wolf seven times in your sleep."
"Ah?" The Wolf Hoof Leader was stunned.
Is this the cost of awakening?
"How does it feel to awaken?" Prophet Bai Shuang asked.
"My head is filled with a lot of information, and my body feels like it has a power constantly pulsating... I feel like I can tame a wolf now."
"Hmm, that’s good."
Prophet Bai Shuang nodded approvingly, smiling,
"The great Saint Master instructed me to tell you that if you have awakened, you can bring your tribesmen over."
"The Saint Master is accepting us?!"
The Wolf Hoof Leader’s eyes were full of joy.
"That depends on your performance, and whether you can bring true value to the Saint Master."
"I understand! I’ll go back and gather the tribesmen now!"
The Wolf Hoof Leader, without any hesitation, under the guidance of soldiers, ran back to the tribe to organize fifty young tribesmen to return to Frost Leaf Town.
Eager to prove the value of the Wolf Hoof Tribe to Luo De, the remaining tribesmen would slowly move over once they were recognized.
Newly arrived in Frost Leaf Town, the people of the Wolf Hoof Tribe stood somewhat anxiously in the square.
These individuals were mostly under twenty-five years old, with more men than women, nervously glancing around.
They had never seen a town, let alone a circle of soldiers in chain armor, fully armed.
At the forefront, on a high platform, Saint Master Luo De was seated, scrutinizing them.
They were very surprised by the youthful appearance of the Saint Master before them, but the leader’s orders still involuntarily made them kneel and salute.
Luo De looked at the Wolf Hoof Leader and impassively commanded, "You go select those who need to awaken. I can only give five people per day the chance to awaken, so it’s best to select some young and strong ones."
This ability to awaken bloodlines doesn’t really require any special casting but still requires spending energy
The information in the Treasure Pearl records that it cannot be cast too many times a day; otherwise, it would lead the spellcaster into a state of spiritual fatigue.
Luo De didn’t want to experience such a state, so he decided to take it slowly and test it out simply.
"Yes, great Saint Master."
The Wolf Hoof Leader saluted and then jumped off the high platform, carefully choosing five young men from the tribesmen.
These five men were the strongest and most intelligent among the tribesmen.
The Wolf Hoof brought the five to Luo De.
From left to right, Luo De used the previous method to perform the awakening ceremony for them one by one.
Without exception, these five people, like the Wolf Hoof Leader, all fainted.
Luo De waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to carry these five away.
Awakening five people indeed made Luo De feel a bit tired.
So far, he no longer wanted to cast this spell.
He closed his eyes and leaned against the chair, showing fatigue, and then called Guard Rein over.
"What are your orders, Lord?"
Rein asked respectfully.
"Assemble the Hunting Team and find a place where the Desert Wolves often roam."
Luo De, eyes shut, instructed: "These wildmen claim to have awakened with the talent for taming wild wolves, so you take them to try and see if they can indeed tame them."
The only reason Luo De accepted the Wolf Hoof Tribe was their so-called Power of Wolf Taming.
If they could truly control a pack of wolves, Luo De’s forces would immediately gain additional strength.
Therefore, Luo De had to verify this as soon as possible.
"No problem, Lord." Rein agreed readily.
Luo De pointed at the Wolf Hoof Leader,
"You’ll follow him for now."
Yus translated the words, and the Wolf Hoof Leader respectfully bowed in salutation.
The next day, among the five young men stimulated by the Beast Spirit awakening, two successfully awakened their bloodline.
The other three failed to awaken and didn’t receive the inheritance; they just slept.
This was quite normal.
After all, the Wolf Hoof wildmen weren’t real werewolves; their bloodline was thin, so being able to awaken was already quite a good result.
Luo De had Prophet Bai Shuang select five more for him.
As for the Wolf Hoof Leader and the two awakened young men, they went with Rein, tirelessly heading toward the Desert Wolves’ territory.
