Chapter 965: Ancestral Talent



Although Vaan was envious of Jamal's status, he was even more pleasantly surprised by it. With such a lucky charm under his command, he would be able to rub off some of its luck, too.

"Your Excellency, may I ask what you plan to do with our allegiance?" Jamal Squatz inquired carefully.

"I will be unifying the land and sea, but the Celestial Kingdom and I don't see eye to eye. A clash between us is inevitable," Vaan calmly mentioned before saying, "However, I don't need your clan to fight my war."

"I only require your clan's information and surveillance; I need eyes and ears to monitor the Celestial Kingdom's movement. It will be even better if you know any of the Celestial Kingdom's bases or anything about the Southern Sea."

"Is this too much to ask?"

"Not at all, Your Excellency," Jamal shook his head before decisively stating, "From henceforth, the Fighting Dolphin Clan will follow the new bearer of the Conqueror's Aura." "The Fighting Dolphin Clan is yours to command, my Lord," Jamal stated.

Without consulting any of his elders, he had arbitrarily tied the Fighting Dolphin Clan's fate to Vaan's wagon.

However, not a single Fighting Dolphin felt there was anything wrong with this choice.

To them, Vaan wasn't just the new bearer of the Conqueror's Aura; he was also the god of body refining. They had never seen such terrifying physical power contained within a small frame like his.

Each adult Fighting Dolphin was at least over ten meters big and weighting over several tons. Yet, none of them could compare to Vaan; he was smaller than them, but his strength was superior, and even his weight was far less.

It was as if his body wasn't made of fleshly materials but the core essence of stars.

"The Fighting Dolphin Clan is willing to follow you into battle, my Lord. The Ocean Master's Conqueror's Aura does not have as much of an effect on us as it does on other marine clans," Jamal added solemnly.

Hearing that, Vaan nodded.

Since the Fighting Dolphin Clan possessed human origins, it wasn't fully marine life. As such, it wouldn't be surprising for the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura to have a weaker effect.

Moreover, many Fighting Dolphins had the [Braveheart] aspect. Thus, they weren't afraid of the Celestial Kingdom's superior strength.

Unfortunately, they were too weak. Vaan didn't want them to throw away their lives, especially the clan leader.

That would be a waste of heaven's resources.

"I appreciate the thought. However, your battle power isn't up to standard. If you can at least become a Fifth-stage Divine Warrior, I might reconsider it," Vaan casually said.

"That said, there is no need to be disheartened by this. It's customary for me to gift my followers benefits for their loyalty. Perhaps you may achieve some unexpected results from this."

Although Jamal had no idea what Vaan was talking about, he still followed his instructions and offered up his blood.

Vaan intended to perform a bloodline awakening for the Fighting Dolphin Clan as well.

However, he wasn't certain how much of an effect it would have on the Fighting Dolphin Clan. After all, the Fighting Dolphin Clan didn't harvest Golden Dragon Blood; it didn't seem to have an impressive ancestral heritage either.

Furthermore, its human aspect might obstruct the bloodline awakening from happening.

...

Half an hour after Vaan refined Jamal's blood essence into origin blood and stimulated his bloodline awakening with life energy, a miraculous event occurred.

Beasts with ancient bloodlines relied on bloodline awakening to rise to the same strength as their peak ancestors. They could also tap into ancestral knowledge and memories hidden within their bloodline.

This was something unique to beasts as it helped their descendants find their origins. Humans didn't have such an ability.

But in that case, what would happen if a human-beast bloodline was awakened?

There result was the situation before everyone.

After Jamal's Fighting Dolphin Bloodline was stimulated, he felt like fire coursed through his large body.

Others could visibly see the network of blood vessels within him. They saw how a violent force was rushing through blood vessels erratically like it was looking for something but didn't know what it was looking for.

Once it did find something, the violent force immediately assaulted it.

Violent energy poured into the acupoint-like location until it was filled up, causing it to light up like a tiny star. For a moment, six other dim stars in the body were also briefly revealed before disappearing.

After all the light from the energy faded from Jamal's body, nothing particular stood out.

Jamal's strength didn't improve, nor did his physique undergo any visible change, nothing spectacular like the usual bloodline awakening of beasts.

However, something had certainly changed in the Fighting Dolphin Clan Leader.

Jamal seemed to know something, but he didn't look too confident. It seemed he needed to test something before he could confirm it.

Ding!

After Vaan glanced at Jamal's new ability, his lips twitched.

The Fighting Dolphin Clan Leader truly had some dog-shit good luck. With the [Poison Eater] ancestral talent, he could train in the toxic Outer Sea to become powerful. Even he couldn't estimate how much he could grow with such a great talent.

That said, Vaan, more or less, figured out the nature of human-beast bloodline awakenings.

Beast bloodline awakenings drew out ancestral power, while human-beast bloodline awakenings drew out ancestral talents if the human bloodline was more dominant.

The [Poison Eater] ancestral talent appeared to belong to a human ancestor who possessed one of the very rare poison physiques needed to become a poison cultivator.

"You're very lucky, Jamal."

"Thank you for your blessing, my Lord!"

The Fighting Dolphin Clan Leader was ecstatic after figuring out his new ability. He couldn't

wait to test out its effectiveness.
