Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 60 The Power and Shackles of Bloodline

The next morning.

Pei Ze arrived at the No. 8 herb garden early. As soon as he entered, he saw Yin Xue standing in front of the herb garden, smiling at him.

The girl had a fair and slender neck, which, combined with her long, snow-white hair, seemed to shimmer in the warm sunlight.

Her bright and radiant appearance is striking.

"Senior," Pei Ze greeted her.

Yin Xue narrowed her eyes and looked him up and down, as if she were getting to know him all over again.

"Junior, you've really surprised me this time."

"I didn't expect that even Gu Lin and Yin Guang were no match for you."

Yin Xue stared intently at Pei Ze, as if trying to see through him.

When she learned what had happened from Yin Guang yesterday, she was quite surprised. She never expected that the low-key and composed junior was already a level three wizard apprentice.

If Yin Guang's description is accurate, then Pei Ze's strength is truly astonishing.

Even many third-year students probably can't compare to him.

Yin Xue sighed inwardly.

She originally gave Pei Ze the books and medicine formulas on a whim, but she didn't expect there would be such a surprise.

In retrospect, this investment was clearly well worth it.

"Just lucky, I managed to break through during the trial." Pei Ze smiled slightly, subtly changing the subject, "Did you call me here today, senior?"

Yin Xue composed herself and said with a smile, "It's not me, it's my teacher who wants to see you."

Pei Ze was slightly taken aback.

Mo Weng?

What did that famous pharmacist want with him?

Pei Ze racked his brains, but couldn't figure out what Mo Weng could want from him, so he had to ask Yin Xue.

Yin Xue smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't know either. I'll know when I see the teacher. Come with me."

After saying that, he turned and walked deeper into the herb garden.

Pei Ze was completely bewildered, but he had no choice but to follow.

During the journey, Yin Xue suddenly said, "Junior, do you know about bloodline wizards?"

Pei Ze glanced at her, not understanding why she suddenly brought up this topic, but still nodded.

"I know a little."

"It is said that some wizards extract the bloodline of certain powerful creatures, exchange it for their own blood, and then use certain mysterious methods to modify and evolve their own power system. These wizards are collectively known as bloodline wizards."

Yin Xue nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with Pei Ze's statement, and said softly, "The bloodline power of bloodline wizards can be passed on to their descendants through certain means, and over time, this will form a bloodline wizard family."

She turned to look at Pei Ze, her expression serious, and said, "The Pei family is one of the most powerful bloodline wizard families in Dawn City."

Pei Ze's eyes flashed, and he vaguely guessed what Yin Xue wanted to say to him.

"Senior, are those who haven't inherited the bloodline considered bloodless?"

"That's right." Yin Xue nodded. "The meditation methods, improved spells, and all the resources of the bloodline wizard family are prepared for those who inherit the bloodline. Under the complete training system, the strength of those who inherit the bloodline often increases very rapidly."

"Especially after advancing to the level of a wizard and awakening their bloodline, their strength will increase dramatically in a short period of time."

"On the contrary, the cultivation speed of bloodless individuals is similar to that of ordinary wizards. In fact, because they are excluded from the cultivation system, their cultivation progress is even slower. Therefore, they are often marginalized and neglected in bloodline families."

Upon hearing this, Pei Ze understood.

He happened to be a marginalized, bloodless person.

It was precisely because he was not valued that when his parents' property was seized by trickery after their death, no one spoke up for him, and he was even tricked into being driven out of the family.

Upon learning the whole story, Pei Ze felt no grief or indignation, but rather found it somewhat laughable.

Although he didn't know much about bloodline wizards, he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

The power of bloodline can make a wizard powerful in a short time, but it must also have some unavoidable flaws.

Otherwise, if there were such a convenient way to become stronger, the world would be full of bloodline wizards by now.

Sure enough, Yin Xue then said:

"Bloodline is the source of power for bloodline wizards, but it is also a constraint on them."

"Once a wizard merges with a bloodline, it will be very difficult for him to surpass the source creature of that bloodline and become a more powerful being throughout his life."

"Furthermore, their bloodline will become increasingly diluted with each generation, and their descendants will become weaker and weaker."

"Unless the descendants can find a legendary creature with the same bloodline and extract its bloodline to purify it, the bloodline will disappear after at most a few dozen generations, and the bloodline wizard family will decline as a result."

"That is why wizards who aspire to go further on the path of truth often do not choose to merge bloodlines."

Pei Ze nodded knowingly.

At this moment, Yin Xue suddenly changed the subject and said, "Pei Shaoqi's father, Pei Yonggao, is a bloodline wizard. You should be careful of him in the future."

Her words seemed to come out of nowhere, but Pei Ze immediately understood what she meant.

Others might speculate or doubt how Pei Shaoqi died, but after hearing the details from Yin Guang, Yin Xue already had the answer in her heart.

"A formal wizard?"

Pei Ze's eyes flickered slightly.

Formal wizards hold a prestigious position and possess formidable strength, making them a figure deeply revered within Dawn City.

Such beings have countless ways to harm a wizard apprentice.

Even without his personal intervention, many wizard apprentices would rush to serve him in order to curry favor with him.

A little malice from a certified wizard can be a catastrophe for a wizarding apprentice.

This is determined by the huge gap in status and strength between the two.

Even so, Pei Ze did not regret it.

If given another chance, he would still kill Pei Shaoqi without hesitation.

There was no room for reconciliation between him and Pei Shaoqi and his son.

Does letting Pei Shaoqi go mean he'll be eternally grateful, repent, and hand over the family fortune he took from him?

This is obviously impossible.

Moreover, this is the Tower Academy.

Even a certified wizard cannot do whatever they want here.

As long as he remains at the academy, Pei Yonggao will have to think twice before trying to harm him.

By the time he graduated from the academy, Pei Ze believed he would have already become a formal wizard.

In that case, it will be Pei Yonggao who should be worried.

The two tacitly changed the subject and started talking about other things.

Suddenly, Pei Ze remembered something and asked, "Senior, what exactly is the Realm of Truth?"

He remembered that he still had one more chance to enter the realm of truth.

Mentioning this, a glint of light appeared in Yin Xue's eyes, and she explained softly, "The Secret Realm of Truth is said to be a strange secret realm created by a great wizard based on his understanding of the rules. It contains a great wizard's insights into truth and rules."

"Besides improving one's aptitude, these insights gained in the secret realm can also bring different rewards depending on one's own circumstances. Some people comprehend a powerful spell in the secret realm, some gain a lot of knowledge in potion-making, and some directly master super magic skills."

"However, the Realm of Truth is only effective for wizard apprentices, and it can only be opened a limited number of times in a short period of time. Otherwise, it will cause irreversible damage to the realm itself. Therefore, very few wizard apprentices are allowed to enter the Realm of Truth each year, and each spot is extremely precious."

"Every year, apart from the first place winner of the freshman trial who receives a guaranteed spot in the Realm of Truth, only apprentices who have made great contributions to the academy are allowed to enter."

Pei Ze's eyes lit up.

If that's really the case, then the effect of the Realm of Truth is too powerful!

The mere fact that it improves one's aptitude is enough to attract countless wizard apprentices.

Compared to contribution points and magical items, a spot in the Realm of Truth is clearly the most valuable reward for winning the trial.

"Has Senior Sister ever been inside the Realm of Truth?" Pei Ze asked curiously.

Yin Xue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of playful smugness on her face.

"Don't underestimate me, junior."

"I was also the first place winner in the trial back then."
