Yan Chong did not do anything strange, even though he was dumbfounded when he suddenly saw these lines of text. For example, suddenly standing up and overturning the table, causing the teachers and students to look at him as if he was an idiot. Or roaring loudly and shouting, “The wheel of fortune turns. XXX, just you wait.”. Or crying with tears falling out of his eyes and muttering, “Eighteen years! Eighteen years! A whole eighteen years! The gold finger is finally in my account!”
On the contrary, he didn’t move at all, his face was calm, like an old monk in meditation.
As an old bookworm and with the training of the strange dream before, Yan Chong’s will had been trained to a certain extent. However, he appeared very calm on the surface, but he was laughing wildly inside. “It seems that this is the legendary golden finger. So I am the main character.”
As some information surged into his mind, Yan Chong instantly understood some things.
He had obtained a bloodline called ‘Demon Eye Warlock’. Previously, his vision had been blurred, his memory had deteriorated, and he was easily sleepy. All these were actually side effects of the fusion of the Demon Eye Warlock’s bloodline into his body.
The bloodline of the Demon Eye Warlock was the masterpiece of a great master alchemist. Blood Awakened would automatically grasp the abilities that came with the bloodline. As the bloodline continued to evolve, the Demon Eye could advance and awaken more abilities.
First of all, the character status panel that was similar to games was brought about by [Reading]. According to the description of the Bloodline Inheritance Knowledge:
Reading D: By observing, you can obtain all kinds of information about the target. The details are related to both parties’ strength and their own knowledge reserves. Consumes spirit force.
This was the reason why he was able to see his own information. It was because he was concentrating on his hands at that time, so his bloodline ability was controlled by his mind and activated naturally.
Among them, D represented the level of the ability, and D was the lowest level.
Other abilities:
Absorption D: As far as the eye can see, one can obtain the soul origin (XP) of the corpse within a minute of death. Consumes spirit force.
Learning D: Through physical contact or eye contact with the target, one can check and replicate the other party’s bloodline, it consumes spirit force. In addition, you can use a certain amount of soul origin (XP) to adhere this ability to your body.
Demon Eye Warlock Inheritance Knowledge D: The bloodline of the Demon Eye Warlock was comparable to that of a pure-blooded dragon, and it came with all kinds of inheritance knowledge. As the bloodline evolved, one could obtain more knowledge by adding or deleting the inheritance knowledge into the bloodline.
Transcendent Space Traverse XXX (Sealed): Insufficient information.
Mainland common tongue C+: Common language of the Endless Mainland, 95% of people use it.
“The XP on the interface represents the soul origin obtained through absorbing ability, and some bloodline abilities seem to require the soul origin to be consumed. I’ll call it experience points for now. This bloodline must have been created by an alchemist who likes to play online games.” Yan Chong lowered his head, pretending to stare at the textbook, but in reality, he was studying the various abilities of his newly acquired Demon Eye bloodline.
“It seems like the Demon Eye Warlock kills monsters to gain experience points and then use it to replicate other people’s bloodline abilities or evolve bloodlines. After the bloodline evolves, they can probably replicate other things. This bloodline is really something else!
“In the end, everything can be duplicated. Doesn’t that mean I can do everything? And I don’t even need to cultivate. I can duplicate everything and win all the way!”
Yan Chong thought gleefully.
“The prerequisite for all of this is that I need to get XP! It’s impossible to kill someone, but I can go to a slaughterhouse or something like that. However, this ability is a little flawed. XP has to be obtained within one minute of death, so the hospital is ruled out.
“Also, according to the inheritance knowledge, I will not have strange dreams when my bloodline awakens. In other words, I have only solved half of my problems.”
Suddenly, the word “sealed” caught Yan Chong’s attention.
“The ability to travel through time and space. I can confirm that this is not an ability given to me by the Demon Eye Bloodline. Otherwise, it would not show that there is insufficient information and the Inheritance Knowledge of the bloodline will explain it. Furthermore, is it related to the strange dream I have since this is sealed?”
Looking at the physics teacher on the podium, Yan Chong focused and activated [Reading].

“Eh? I didn’t expect Teacher Ye to know Wing Chun!”
Moreover, according to the introduction by the Inheritance Knowledge, skills could be divided into combat and non-combat skills.
Amongst the combat skills, Grade D was the lowest level. Grade D- was the level of ordinary people on Earth. Grade D was basically the level of a boxing champion or an Olympic athlete. As for Grade D+, it was probably the level of an extraordinary being that could fight dozens of people at once.
Of course, his combat ability was rated as D would probably due to his mediocre physical attributes. But that was still the world’s top standard.
Yan Chong’s face twitched. He didn’t expect that the elegant and gentlemanly Physics teacher, Ye Da, was actually an expert in ancient martial arts. His gold-rimmed glasses made him look more like an academic researcher.
“Er—although, as a physics teacher, this image is normal, but—”
For non-combat skills, Grade D represented the entry level. In terms of subjects, they were either primary school graduates or secondary school level. Grade C represented practice. In terms of subjects, they were only at the level of undergraduate students. Grade B represented proficiency, which was also the level of expert professors. As for Grade A, they were at the level of master, such as a major contributor in a certain field or a Nobel Prize winner.
Then there were Grade S and Grade X. As for what they were, he was not sure. The Inheritance Knowledge did not have any information. However, Yan Chong guessed that Newton’s and Einstein’s physics level should be at Grade S.
In that case, with Teacher Ye’s Grade B- Cooking, he could already become the head chef of a five-star restaurant. Furthermore, his street dance was also C+, which was equivalent to a graduate student in sports. He could even directly become a teacher. But it made sense that he was so good at street dancing since he was good at Wing Chun.
“This is the legendary Old Treasure Boy?”
(Note: Teacher Ye Da is a 90s, almost 40 years old this year)
“Am I the only ordinary person living in a world full of extraordinary beings?” Yan Chong could not help but doubt himself. He quickly activated his [Reading] ability to check on the surrounding students. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was a little disappointed because the other students’ attributes were very average. There was nothing extraordinary about them.
He felt tired and sleepy after using his ability dozens of times. He was so scared that he quickly stopped when he thought of the miserable experience of frequently sleeping in class.
“With my current Spirit attributes, I should be able to continuously use [Reading] thirty to forty times.”
After school, Yan Chong changed from his usual dispirited self. He packed his bag as fast as he could and rushed out of the classroom.
“Hey, have you guys noticed that Yan Chong seems to be different from before?” A short girl with freckles said excitedly.
“What’s different?” Her best friend asked.
“I just feel like Yan Chong from before has returned. He hasn’t slept since math class today and is studying hard. Also, his eyes are so dark and bright. He looks even more handsome than before. He even looked at me today!”
“Do you think he has a crush on me?” The short freckled girl covered her face.
“Is that so? But so what? The college entrance examination is less than two months away. Even if he tries his best, it’s probably too late.” A fat boy behind Yan Chong’s seat interjected with a mocking expression.
“But he’s more handsome than you!” The short freckled girl said.
“Pfff—” The fat boy vomited three liters of blood.
It was only when Yan Chong returned to the residential area that his excitement slowly calmed down. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and he ran to a patch of green grass in the residential area.
After searching for a long time, he finally found an ant nest. After killing a few ants with his foot, he stared at the corpses of the ants that were too horrible to look at and silently activated his skill [Absorption].
