Chapter 315: Sealed Talent
The Koshi's Serpent is an extremely rare and scarce ice-element magical beast.
The main reason for its rarity is that the survival rate of the Koshi's Serpent in its infancy is extremely low compared to other serpentine magical beasts.
Although adult Koshi's Serpents lose all five senses, their powerful physical strength, excellent Frost control ability, plus toxin immunity and super perception talent are the main reasons why the Koshi's Serpent can rank among the top serpentine magical beasts in terms of strength.
However, in its infancy, the Koshi's Serpent, apart from its innate toxin immunity talent, its other abilities...
...are basically not awakened. And the genetic defect of losing all five senses still exists.
Under such harsh genetic conditions, it is almost impossible for an infant Koshi's Serpent to survive on its own. Therefore, infant Koshi's Serpents are mostly raised by adult Koshi's Serpents.
But even with the nurturing of adult Koshi's Serpents, it is difficult for the infant serpents with innate genetic defects to survive...
It is precisely because of this that when Jia Na learned that the Bloodline Vivian awakened was the Koshi's Serpent, in addition to being happy for her, she was also worried about whether Vivian could overcome the genetic defect of "losing all five senses."
Fortunately, Jia Na's worries seemed to be unnecessary. Vivian not only overcame it very well, but her strength also increased extremely quickly.
At this current speed, it is estimated that it will not take long for Vivian to successfully break through to a Three-level Wizard Apprentice and then officially transition to the Sorcerer path.
However, although the Koshi's Serpent Bloodline can barely be ranked in the Turin Wizard Gathering Place, it is still too far behind compared to the top geniuses of the Bloodline Side in the entire Wizard Continent or in other large Wizard Gathering Places, with almost no comparability—
"Vivian is a lucky girl."
Looking at the terrifying wounds on the serpent's body that were quickly recovering, Jia Na couldn't help but sigh in her heart once again.
Vivian's luck lies in the fact that in addition to the vast resources of a Wizard family, she also has a good father.
A good father who also possesses the Koshi's Serpent Bloodline and is willing to sacrifice his own Bloodline as 'ritual materials' for his daughter. To some extent, Hermann-Rose's Koshi's Serpent Bloodline quality is even better than Vivian's. It is precisely because of this that after the Blood Exchange Ritual, Vivian not only successfully increased the purity of her own Bloodline, but also completed a leap in Bloodline rank in one go.
Directly from a Koshi's Serpent, she leaped to become a Koshi's King Serpent!
In addition to having stronger physical body, Frost control, toxin immunity, and super perception talent, the newly added 【Seal】 talent is the fundamental reason why the Koshi's King Serpent can "reign as King."
Similarly, Vivian, who has been promoted to a Koshi's King Serpent, truly possesses the capital to stand and challenge the top geniuses of the Bloodline Side in the major Wizard Continent. At the same time, it also raised Vivian's talent limit after her future promotion to a Formal Sorcerer.
"The core of the Seal that Vivian awakened after being promoted to the Koshi's King Serpent Bloodline should be the ice-blue gem on her forehead."
When Vivian first awakened the Koshi's Serpent Bloodline, she also had an ice-blue gem on her forehead.
It's just that the volume of that gem was far less than it is now. Moreover, its main function was more focused on the storage of magic power. "Jia Na, I'll trouble you with the rest."
As the Blood Exchange Ritual officially ended, the precious materials used to arrange the ritual were also successively discarded.
And Vivian, who had successfully completed her Bloodline advancement, had now transformed into human form and was lying quietly on the ground—while Hermann-Rose, on the side, looked completely as if he had suffered a severe illness.
Not only had he lost a lot of weight, but even the surrounding magic power fluctuations had become faint and indistinguishable, completely unlike what a Formal Wizard should look like.
"Mr. Hermann, are you alright?"
Looking at Hermann-Rose's appearance, Jia Na was truly worried that he would collapse here due to the matter of "sacrificing Bloodline." "It's alright—it's just the source that's damaged. It should recover after a few months of recuperation."
Source damaged. Hearing Mr. Hermann's answer, Jia Na couldn't help but secretly click her tongue.
But fortunately, Hermann-Rose is a Wizard who primarily cultivates the power of Law. As long as his Frost Law is not broken, there will be a day when he can fully recover.
However, the reduction in lifespan caused by the damaged source, without using extraordinary means, should be impossible to compensate for—
"Then, Mr. Hermann, I will take Vivian and leave first."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
As early as a few days ago, Hermann-Rose had already anticipated that after he completed the Blood Exchange Ritual, although it would not affect his use of the power of Law, he would likely be unable to use magic power for a short period of time.
Therefore, during this period, Hermann-Rose had to stay in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm until his damaged source recovered.
Only then could he leave.
Although Jia Na did not know the principle of this healing, she speculated that it should be related to the Frost Law that Hermann-Rose had mastered. "Growth—"
As the emerald green light reappeared from Jia Na's palm, a huge lotus flower appeared beneath Vivian, and then enveloped her within.
"Mr. Hermann, I hope you can recover soon—
After speaking, two grayish-white vines grew from the canyon cliff and quickly wrapped around Jia Na and Vivian's waists.
"Lace—"
As the vines rapidly contracted, Jia Na and Vivian were quickly pulled onto the cliff. Then, two more vines grew from a higher position, continuing to wrap around the two, repeating the process until they climbed to the top of the canyon.
"The road ahead will be more difficult—"
Now, there is less than two hours left until the energy of the Sun Badge is exhausted, and within these two hours,
Jia Na must take Vivian back to the location of the teleportation array.
If Vivian were still conscious at this time, then Vivian, transformed into her Bloodline form, carrying Jia Na, would only need about an hour to safely reach the destination. "Forget it, I can only rely on myself this time."
Looking at Vivian, who was wrapped in the huge lotus flower, Jia Na could only find another way.
