25: Devil Jordan's first impression

With continuous deep breaths… Green’s mind gradually calmed down, and his thoughts began to turn.

Adler’s words just now let Green know that the one behind him, exuding killing intent, was the infamous "Devil Jordan," who would also be Green’s Knight instructor.

From the moment Mentor Jordan met him and gave Green such a powerful display of authority, it was clear.

Mentor Jordan was not to be trifled with… Green decided from the bottom of his heart.

Don’t court death, don’t anger Mentor Jordan… Green had never witnessed such extraordinary methods in the academy.

Just relying on killing intent could suppress a Low-level Wizard Apprentice, leaving him no chance to retaliate.

It even almost caused Green to suffer brain death.

Green truly felt that if his consciousness had truly sunk into oblivion just now, he would never have woken up again.

Green thought of a possibility; perhaps, this wasn’t even Mentor Jordan’s most powerful killing intent.

This was merely a test… Green took another deep breath and slowly turned around.

The first thing that met his eyes was a silver-bright breastplate… Green looked up.

This was a burly man dressed in a full set of heavy armor.

The armor still bore traces of various sword cuts, axe chops, and scorched marks from burning. He leaned on a black battle sword, about 1.8 meters long and half a meter wide, and stood approximately 2.6 meters tall.

His visor was not lowered, revealing a stern and domineering square face with thick, long, dark eyebrows. A scar extending from his left eye socket to his chin appeared particularly ferocious and exuded killing intent.

The entire person stood there quietly, like a black mountain peak, or a fallen knight from hell.

Green was utterly stunned… “Green, the teacher is asking you a question…”

Adler quickly called out to wake him.

Green came back to his senses.

He respectfully performed a Wizard’s salute and said:

“Greetings, esteemed Mentor Jordan.”

“Your magnificent sculpture greatly interests this student.”

“If I have the opportunity in the future, I would also like to emulate you and build a sculpture of my own achievements.”

“Oh…”

Mentor Jordan was noncommittal; this was clearly flattery. What he had felt from Green just now was not what Green was saying.

“When Mentor Serena recommended you to me, she said you had also awakened a bloodline.”

“Tell me, do you know what bloodline it is?”

Mentor Jordan said indifferently, his authoritative gaze sweeping over Green.

“I don’t know if I’ve awakened a bloodline, nor do I know what bloodline I’ve awakened.”

Green said honestly,

“My friends just think I’ve been eating too much recently, a lot more than before, so they believe I might have awakened a bloodline.”

“Green, you might have awakened a Big Eater bloodline…”

“As an Apprentice Knight, you eat almost as much as I do, a High-level Knight.”

“Anyway, I didn’t eat as much as you at your stage.”

Adler added from the side, looking like—I’m also Green’s good friend.

“Are there any other effects?”

“You eat so much, has it all turned into this fat on your body?” Mentor Jordan ignored Adler.

“Uh, also…”

“It’s just that I like to eat delicious food. The more I eat, the more delicious the food becomes, the more excited my Spiritual Power gets, and the more inspiration I have.”

“Every time after I finish eating, there’s a short period where I think very quickly, and learning becomes easier.”

“I wonder if this counts as a special effect?”

Green carefully recalled, using the most accurate language possible to describe his feelings… “Oh, this ability of yours is quite good for a Wizard.”

“According to records, those with your effect include: Human-faced Demonic Spider bloodline, Phantasmal Light Butterfly bloodline, Gluttonous Demon bloodline, Ancient Ghoul bloodline… and so on.”

“There are more than a dozen, all of which significantly increase the excitement of Spiritual Power after eating…”

Mentor Jordan slowly explained to Green:

“For a bloodline ability like yours, which leans towards affecting the spirit.”

“At this stage, it’s difficult to have significant characteristics.”

“Therefore, I also cannot accurately determine what bloodline you possess.”

“Most spirit-oriented bloodlines require a second or more awakenings to know what bloodline they are.”

“Unlike bloodlines that affect the physical body, some can be roughly identified after a preliminary awakening. For example, Adler, his awakened bloodline has two significant characteristics:

Firstly, activating the bloodline allows him to emit a bear roar with spiritual deterrent power.

Secondly, activating the bloodline while standing on the Earth allows Adler to draw strength from the Earth to restore his stamina.

So we can easily determine that the bloodline he awakened is most likely related to the Earth Bear.”

“Some require one awakening to know what bloodline they are.”

“Like me…”

“I awakened my bloodline when I was still a Knight, but it only made my strength greater and my recovery power stronger.”

“Many physical bloodlines have this effect, so it was impossible to determine what bloodline I had.”

“But when I advanced to Grand Knight, my bloodline underwent an awakening.”

“My bloodline ability improved and changed.”

“When I activate my bloodline ability, I undergo a significant transformation. See, I turn into the appearance of the sculpture before you.”

“That’s how I determined that I awakened a trace of the Ancient Devil Giant Ape bloodline.”

“Come in, don’t just stand at the door.”

“Today, I’ll first teach you to understand and recognize some knowledge and functions of bloodlines.”

Mentor Jordan motioned for the two to enter.

Upon entering, there was a huge training ground, about the size of a basketball court.

Various training equipment was scattered in the corners, and the granite-paved floor was full of potholes, footprints, and cracks.

Green was speechless… Passing through the training ground, there was a reception room.

Mentor Jordan directly sat down on the wide oak chair in the middle, facing the training ground.

“Sit…”

Green and Adler carefully sat opposite Mentor Jordan.

“Green, after hearing your description and looking at your fat body.”

“One can tell that currently, only a small part of your bloodline effect acts on your spirit.”

“And there is no bloodline effect acting on your physical body.”

“Look at Adler, then look at yourself.”

Mentor Jordan was also quite surprised by the fat Green had accumulated.

Green now looked more like a pot-bellied rich merchant than a wise Wizard Apprentice.

“I heard your appetite is only three—

Angus beef, smoked pork, dog meat, lettuce, and cheese burgers less than Adler’s.”

“You can eat six of them.”

“For these giant burgers, it’s already good if an ordinary Wizard Apprentice can finish one whole.”

“So you definitely awakened a bloodline related to eating or digestion; there’s no doubt about that.”

Green thought to himself:

Isn’t this just the innate eating instinct of my Great Foodie race?

Could this also be considered a bloodline ability?
