Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang's initial purpose of coming back to the village was to give the Dragon Essence to Areth. He meant to experiment with the Dragon Essence with Areth, wanting to know what the other essences were. Of course, he was not going to force the boy to take the bloodline.

Areth did not really understand anything about a bloodline. He looked at the vial, then looked up at Tang Shaoyang, "Will I get stronger if I acquire a bloodline? Even if it's not a Dragon Bloodline?"

Tang Shaoyang nodded and explained, "Regardless of the bloodline, you will get stronger than you are right now. The bloodline gives you extra skills and extra attributes. Most importantly the skill. You will obtain a transformation skill. That will boost your attributes by many, and a stronger bloodline gives you more attributes and stronger skills."

Areth was about to take the vial, but Zowen snatched the vial and chugged the essence with one gulp. The boy was surprised, so Tang Shaoyang and Rosalie as both were not expecting the Lightning Magus to do such a thing. She had a deeper attachment than they thought to use her body for the experiment.

Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh, "I don't know why you would do such a thing…" He massaged the space between his eyes.

Zowen stood there for a moment before her body went weak and fell. Areth was quick and caught her before her body fell to the ground. He panicked, glancing at Tang Shaoyang as he did not know what happened and what to do.

"Lay her down on the ground and wait," Tang Shaoyang gave the command. He also did not know how the blood essence worked, so there was nothing they could do but wait.

Rosalie came over, helping the confused Areth. They laid Zowen's body on the ground, then she motioned to the boy to give Zowen some space. Not long after, Zowen's body spasmed. It seemed she was in pain as her face scrunched into a pained expression, groaning.

"This… This…" Areth panicked, thinking something went wrong. He kept looking at Sir Tang, asking for help.

"This is the process of the awakening bloodline, let her be." Tang Shaoyang remembered how his bloodline awakening was. He was also in pain, so this was not something he was worried about.

The Lightning Magus endured the pain for over an hour before her body stopped moving. Her breath was still rough, but she was no longer in pain. Then she slowly opened her eyes, looking up at the ceiling. Then her friend came into her sight.

Rosalie shook her head, helping her friend to get up. Then there, Zowen met with Tang Shaoyang's cold gaze. She was not expecting him to get angry.

"What made you think I will give the other Dragon Essence to him?" Zowen opened her mouth, but there was no answer coming out from her mouth. She did not think that further before. She thought since he had three, there should be a problem for her to take one to be the first volunteer for the Dragon Essence. Her intention was purely to help Areth. If she awakened a dud bloodline, there was no need for Areth to take it.

"You should be aware of how precious this Dragon Essence is, no? I am risking my life to get this thing, and I am kind enough to give it to him, yet you ruin everything. You can't keep getting away like this, Zowen!"

Zowen blinked her eyes hearing the cold voice. It was as if she was poured with ice-cold water. She thought that Tang Shaoyang did the experiment with the intention to give her and Rosalie the bloodline, but if she thought about it again, why would he give her the Dragon Essence?

They might be close, but not close enough for Tang Shaoyang to give her the Dragon Essence. Their current relationship was subordinate and superior. There was no promise or a deal between them. She promised to work for him in exchange for a magic tower. That was it, nothing more. She had crossed the line without she realized it.

"I…" Zowen was lost for words. Not just she crossed the line, but she might be ruining Areth's future too. In the end, she let out a sigh. During her spirit days, she kept telling Tang Shaoyang how stupid and reckless he was, yet now she did something worse than him. Her intention to help Areth backfired.

Tang Shaoyang stared at Zowen who did not know what to do, not saying anything. Areth was confused with the whole situation as he did not know the true value of the thing that the Lightning Magus drank just now. He wanted to help Zowen out of the situation, but there was nothing he could do since he knew nothing. It was not the best idea to speak against Sir Tang either.

The silence and tense atmosphere persisted for a while until Tang Shaoyang broke the silence with his sigh, "We will have another conversation later, Zowen. What do you get from the Dragon Essence?"

"I have awakened the Drake Bloodline."

The answer gave Tang Shaoyang what he wanted to know about the Mistovel Family mixed into the Dragon Essence. However, there was another chance there were more than two essences in this vial. However, it was good news that Zowen awakened Drake Bloodline. Albeit weaker than the dragon bloodline, The Drake Bloodline was also good. Known as the subspecies of a dragon, Drake was a top predator.

"What do I do with you now?" Tang Shaoyang narrowed his eyes, scanning Areth. The boy flinched, fiddling his finger as nervousness started to get into him. He let out another sigh, putting the second vial on the table.

"I can give you the second one, but this one is not free."

If it was under normal circumstances, Areth would not take the vial. But he was desperate, filled with anger and desire for revenge. He would take whatever price he had to pay as long as he could have the power to kill the people who slaughtered the villagers.

"As long as I can avenge them. I am willing to do anything even if that means I have to be your slave, Sir Tang!"
