Chapter 1993 Hidden Bloodline Or Physique?

Lin Mu took his time in checking Meihua's Brain and only saw that it was working perfectly.

"Did you find anything?" Guang San asked, seeing that Lin Mu hadn't said anything in a while.

"Nothing… At least in terms of the Physique, I don't sense anything." Lin Mu stated. "If it's not the physique, then is it a bloodline?" One of the elders wondered.

"Princess Feng Lan, since you have the bloodline of the Imperial Feng clan, you should have already been able to tell whether she has it or not, right?" Lin Mu asked first.

"Yes. Other than being of my blood, Meihua hasn't inherited the affinity to Wind." Princess Feng Lan stated. "Though… I am an anomaly in this since I was also born with an affinity to the Light element." She added making a look of realization appear on Lin Mu's face.

"Is that why the Tearing Glass claws chose you and not the others?" Lin Mu asked. "Indeed. It would only chose someone that had an affinity to the Light Element." Feng Lan confirmed.

"No wonder… Guess it might have changed further in case of Meihua and she didn't obtain the Wind elemental affinity." Lin Mu replied before turning to Guang San. "What about you Clan head, does the Morning Glory Clan have a particular bloodline?" He asked.

To this, the Clan head shook his head. "While our clan has had talented individuals with some bloodlines in the past, none of them were inherited. Our clan also does not have any main bloodline." He explained.

"I see… then there is a high chance what Meihua has is a hidden bloodline. One that is only starting to affect its owner." Lin Mu stated. "We tried checking any bloodlines, but none of the bloodline testing crystals worked." One of the clan elders stated. "We always check them when a child is born in the clan." He added.

"Bloodline testing crystal only work on bloodlines that have been recorded. If it is a unique or new bloodline, it won't be detected by it." Lin Mu responded. "Then do you have any other method of checking a bloodline?" Guang San asked in doubt.

"I do… but it may be a bit problematic." Lin Mu replied with slight hesitation.

"In what sense would it be problematic?" Guang San asked. "Would it harm Meihua?" He said with concern.

"It won't harm her, but using that method would likely trigger the defensive arrays of the clan." Lin Mu said looking up.

His eyes flickered slightly as he directly looked past the masking arrays and scanned the defensive arrays of the clan.

One of these arrays was specialized in detecting threats and would automatically respond if it sensed one of the clansmen was threatened.

Guang San narrowed his eyes, feeling surprised with the ease that Lin Mu looked past their formation arrays.

"If you can assure me, no harm would come to Meihua, I'll allow you to proceed." Guang San said after a pause.

"Of course. I swear that no harm would come to her." Lin Mu replied with confidence.

"Very well." Guang San said and quickly took out a small formation plate.

He then fiddled with it, causing changes to happen in the arrays of the clan. Lin Mu could sense the changes in real time, as the layers of the arrays shifted and the runes transformed. Soon enough, he could tell that the threat detection array had gone dormant, but not in the entire clan. 'To be able to deactivate it selectively in just this area… Seems like the Morning Glory Clan spared no expense in setting up the arrays.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

To make an array variable within an area was a hard task, and would increase the complexity. One would have to add multiple smaller formations to make it functional.

Most clans would simply make the array either turn off for the entire place or keep it active. There was no sense in keeping it off for just a specific area to them.

"It should be fine now." Guang San stated.

"I'll start now." Lin Mu said before looking at the others. "It might look a little… oppressive but trust me it will be fine." He added just in case the others would take it as too dangerous.

"You can do it!" Meihua said with pumped fists.

She seemed to be quite excited with all that was happening, even though she understood little about it.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath first before stimulating the bloodline within his own body.

The people watching felt the presence of Lin Mu change, and a moment later, a red aura started to pour out of his body. ~SHUA~

The red aura rose above Lin Mu's head before coalescing into a large sphere. ~Rumble~

A low rumbling sound could be felt in the hall, as if distant thunder. "This…" The elders watching couldn't help but feel the air grow heavier at that moment.

~Roar~

Then finally a roar was heard, as the red sphere opened up, releasing a large beast. The beast had long claws that were like knives, and its head touched the ceiling. Two large horns rose from its head, while an inverted pentagon was present on its body.

It was none other than the bloodline figure of the Great Slumber bear!

Guang San and Princess Feng Lan didn't feel any threat from Lin Mu or the figure of the Great Slumber bear, but they could tell that the aura of the beast was quite oppressive.

Both of them looked at Meihua at that moment, afraid that she might be scared or terrified.

But much to their surprise, she seemed to be looking up at the bloodline figure with stars in her eyes.

Lin Mu then placed his hand on Meihua's head, causing the aura of the Great Slumber Bear to flow into her body.

And as soon as he did, Meihua's body responded.

~HONG~

Her eyes glowed brightly like a bonfire before a presence rose from her!
