The Martial Master - 55 Martial Intent returns.

“Inheritance? No, this is different…”

Su Min flashed with shock as his mind processed what had just been thrown into his head. He got a couple of bits of information, and some seemed to come from the very ground of the strange world in his eye.

‘ Red Giant, Martial Race. –

Ranked#34 in the Lower Realm; known for their massive bodies and brutal strength. They rely mostly on instinct and live for war.

Bloodline Acquired: 23%

Bloodline Talent: Average. ‘

“Uh..?”

Su Min struggled to not question this. How on earth did he get this information? However, as this question sprung, he stared wide-eyed at the ground as a sudden tremble shook it.

The red-petalled flower looked rather beautiful, even dazzling, but as this tremble shook the ground, its light dimmed as if it didn’t dare contend with something.

Then, out of nowhere, half the ground got smothered in a golden light as a sprout spewed out of the soil. It started off small, yet the sprout didn’t even take a second for it to overtake the flower, and with a thickening stem, it started to grow bark.

The golden ground beneath it only lightened a bit, so the stem continued to grow without restriction until it transformed into a log of a thin tree. A dense surge of gold then got sucked into the tree, where numerous golden leaves grew atop it.

A shadow formed as it shrouded the small flower in a glorious power. Each leaf shined with a shimmering gold that blinded the eye as if they were made of pure nuggets of dazzling metals.

The tree continued to suck in the gold-tinged ground, making its bark wriggle as it thickened and became spotted with pellets of shining gold.

It was only after the tree had grown to the point that it nearly overtook the entire 1-meter radius ground that it stopped. It held a truly overpowering aura as it stood proudly, and compared to the tiny red flower, it was like comparing a firefly to the very sun that spewed daylight onto the earth.

Then, with a quiver, Su Min’s mind got blasted with a new line of information.

‘ Ancient One, Ancient Race. –

Ranked #5 in the Great Realm; known for their Godly powers of controlling the Ancient Energy and their potent bodies that can only be rivalled by the Ancient Dragons.

They carry an innate hatred toward the Heaven’s Races.

Bloodline Acquired: 1%

Bloodline Talent: Bare Minimum. ‘

“Ancient Dragons..?”

Su Min found that he has learned a little more about the world, but also about his own bloodline. That black figure, who could he be?

“I guess I can try them out later, especially that Giant Technique.”

Su Min, from instinct, knew a bit about these sprouts. He got a technique from the red flower, and well, he got nothing from the golden tree.

It was obvious that he already had the bloodline from that black figure, and that it was just taking form in this space.

‘I wonder… If I can double my size, would my strength double?’

As these thoughts entered his head, Su Min let go of that space and focused back to reality. He realised that only a couple seconds had passed.

The girl in his eyes was even weaker now, and he couldn’t do that much to rectify that. However, the main source and the reason she was dying was solved, so she shouldn’t pass anytime soon.

Though, he was confused on how she even got that red blob that sucked her life away day by day.

“She isn’t of the heaven’s races?”

Su Min’s eyes flashed as he took a closer look, where although he couldn’t tell what race she was, he knew for certain that she wasn’t from the heaven’s race. He didn’t smell any sort of detestable aura.

“S-senior? Is she cured?”

A light scamper rang behind Su Min as the boy emerged with concern. He saw her paler face which made him bite his lip, but he awaited Su Min’s response with patience in case he would incur the wrath of a being that could topple the sky.

“Yes.”

Su Min spoke a single word as he pushed that thought aside. He could feel his body changing, and a red aura brewing. In fact, he felt a constant gush of this red come out of his black eye, as if it were changing him.

‘It seems that I am going to gain some characteristics of that race…’

A subtle tiredness began to billow within Su Min as he yawned. He felt his body pop from time to time, and as this red aura seeped into him and caused unknown changes, he felt an inheritance start to gather.

It was a real inheritance to a race, or more specifically, the red giant race! He, by the mystical technique of the Martial, was going against common laws of the world!

“Go find another village close by, and I’ll visit you once I’m done with a couple errands.”

Su Min rough voice entered the ears of the boy. He didn’t understand what made this golden being interested in him, but he couldn’t question it.

“Yes senior! Also… Thank you!”

Nodding with enthusiasm, the boy’s face brightened into a smile as he picked up the unconscious girl and fat man. He had an inhuman strength, so this was an easy feat for the kid.

Su Min remained expressionless as he watched the kid run off into the distance.

“Mhm… I should probably leave this place.”

Rubbing his chin and with a strange haze of red, Su Min smiled as he leapt into the air and looked down onto the world. A thin layer of gold formed beneath his feet, allowing him to just float there.

…

…

*WOOOOSH*

“Hm?”

Scratching his blue hair in a village covered in ice, a black-robed man suddenly shook as a faint shockwave wooshed a breeze past him. His eyes lit up, then staring into the horizon, he jumped and disappeared in the ice-cold wind…

“That sounded scary, but I like scary! HAH!!”

It was unknown what village he was in, but it wasn’t the same one Su Min had visited. So, he left behind numerous sculptures of frozen people, dyed in red from their own frozen blood…
