Locke's face showed an expression of bewilderment. If this isn't the ancient dragon bloodline of the Golden Twin-Headed Dragon, then what is it?

Locke said, "I read about it in a document written by an archaeologist in the southeastern quadrant. He said our Augustine family are humans who possess the Golden Twin-Headed Dragon bloodline."

Grand Wizard Sulla said, "An archaeologist? Those archaeologists don't understand anything about bloodline studies. They just rely on textual research to make comparisons. How could they possibly figure this out?"

"The bloodlines of the true dragon clan are extremely complex. Just the classification of true dragons themselves numbers in the hundreds, and when you add wyverns, pseudodragons, and dragonborn, the dragon clan bloodlines total nearly ten thousand types. Some bloodlines are extremely similar, differing only by the slightest bit, but it's precisely that tiny difference that leads to completely different dragon clan bloodlines."

Grand Wizard Sulla said, "I believe that book you read before had quite a few errors and omissions. Especially saying you possess the Golden Twin-Headed Dragon bloodline, that's truly laughable."

"The bloodline in your body is extremely warlike, and this absolutely cannot be a characteristic of the Golden Twin-Headed Dragon. Twin-headed dragons are sacred dragons, dragons of order. Twin-headed dragons would definitely resist initiating combat."

Grand Wizard Sulla said, "I believe there's no way yours is the Golden Twin-Headed Dragon bloodline."

Locke asked doubtfully, "Then what bloodline should I have?"

Grand Wizard Sulla hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "It's a twin bloodline of the true dragon bloodline, but I don't know the specifics."

"The rank is very high."

"When it comes down to it, Locke, this is your own family's bloodline. You should be the one who knows it best."

Locke remained silent.

Grand Wizard Sulla said, "However, the treatment method for twin bloodlines is all the same. As long as you enter the Shadow Pool to soak, and then learn this Abjuration School spell from me, you'll be able to avoid this side effect."

Grand Wizard Sulla said, "Soaking in the Shadow Pool requires a long period of time. As for these simple Abjuration School spells, I can directly give them to you. You could find these by searching in the library yourself."

"To prevent people from wondering why you'd suddenly focus on this field and expose my existence, I can give you this portion of knowledge directly."

Grand Wizard Sulla retrieved a spellbook from his astral ring and handed it to Locke. "Entering the Shadow Pool requires family authorization, but you don't have that permission. This can only be handled by Alicia."

Locke nodded. "That's the only way then."

"I've already completed this project for you. I need to return to the wizard world. It's just that when I go back, I'll still need Alicia to provide some cover for me."

According to the time flow comparison, he had stayed here for two weeks, while two days should have already passed in the wizard world. However, with Alicia covering for him, it shouldn't arouse any suspicion.

Grand Wizard Sulla had his own methods of contacting Alicia. He said, "Naturally. But wait a moment, Locke."

"Since you have an ancient creature bloodline, do you know what the difference is between bloodline transformation by us bloodline essence masters and the crude bloodline transformation that ordinary wizards do themselves?"

Locke looked at Grand Wizard Sulla with confusion.

What kind of pie-in-the-sky promise is he trying to make now?

The other party was obviously afraid that he would be eliminated in the first round of the Cloud Marsh Cup, so he kept making these enticing promises. Whether it was the Shadow Pool that required long-term use or the bloodline essence system he was mentioning now, they were clearly all meant to tie him down.

However, Locke didn't particularly care at this point.

First, he was participating in the Cloud Marsh Cup with the intention of winning.

Second, the other party kept giving him benefits. Although many were just promises, they were indeed things he needed.

Grand Wizard Sulla said, "The bloodline power of bloodline essence masters uses the spell power of the Abjuration School to deeply develop the potential of these bloodlines, developing abilities that the original magical creatures didn't have."

Grand Wizard Sulla recited a spell, but this time he carefully maintained his distance from Locke and didn't approach casually.

A sphere of light floated in his palm, and inside the sphere was a scarlet bloodline studies rune. "Some bloodline spells within the bloodline transformation magic sub-direction of the Abjuration School are universal, merely bloodline shaping. There's no difference from the Abjuration School granting specific forms and functions to flames or shadows."

"Since you also have such powerful bloodline power, it would be a real shame not to develop it carefully. This is a basic bloodline spell model that develops bloodline power to form universal bloodline spells, a First Circle bloodline transformation magic sub-direction spell called Berserk Curse."

"By stimulating one's own bloodline potential, in an extremely brief period of time, it allows one's physical body to rapidly rise several levels. The greater the bloodline potential, the more the physical enhancement will increase."

Grand Wizard Sulla smiled and said, "I'm giving this to you. Without needing to study bloodline studies spells, by using spell models created by us bloodline essence masters, you can passively learn this spell."

"It's just that this kind of spell model cannot improve. If you need more powerful spell models or corresponding modifications and improvements, you'll need to find us bloodline essence masters again. And the prerequisite for using it is that you possess truly powerful bloodline within your body. Otherwise, you'll be drained of your potential by the Berserk Curse and die."

"All universal bloodline spells are like this. Ordinary wizards simply cannot use this kind of magic."

"This is just the most basic universal bloodline spell. In the future, if you need it, I can give you even more advanced universal bloodline spells to help you better develop the true dragon bloodline within your body." Grand Wizard Sulla said, "You and Alicia have such a good relationship, you should have seen her use the Berserk Curse, right?"

Locke thought for a moment. Previously, when he was on the floating vessel, he had indeed seen some Plutarch family wizards use this type of magic.

It was just that the Magic Thief Circus back then was truly too bizarre, and their combat style wasn't frontal confrontation, so even when Plutarch family wizards used this magic to enhance their physical abilities, it didn't have much significance.

Locke accepted the red sphere formed from concentrated blood essence, which concealed a spell model inside. However, Locke wasn't foolish enough to use it immediately. At the very least, he'd have to wait until he asked Alicia about it.

Seeing this, Grand Wizard Sulla said nothing and just smiled.

Scarlet magical power changes appeared all over his body, his muscles began to swell, and his body grew larger by a few sizes out of nowhere. "You see, this is the universal bloodline spell, Berserk Curse."

Locke nodded. "The magic Alicia uses seems a bit more complex."

Grand Wizard Sulla returned to his original state and sighed. "Alicia is a genius. She's always been a genius."

"She just doesn't particularly like bloodline studies." Grand Wizard Sulla's face showed a trace of regret. "I know, all along I've made things too difficult for that child."

"If the Plutarch family had a second wizard with sufficient talent, I would let go and allow her to pursue potion studies, but right now I can't, because among the Plutarch family's unaccomplished descendants, there's only her."

"The magic she uses is the Secondary Berserk Curse."

"That's a more complex universal bloodline magic. Actually, the principle is the same, it's just that on the basis of extracting bloodline potential once, it extracts a second time." Grand Wizard Sulla's right index finger lit up with scarlet light as he traced out a complex spell model in midair.

"You see, this spell model becomes even more complex."

"However, although I say this, the potential of the Scorpion Woman bloodline in her body cannot be compared at all with your... dragon clan bloodline."

Grand Wizard Sulla couldn't quite figure out what bloodline Locke had. "So even if she uses the Secondary Berserk Curse, its effect may not even match you using the primary Berserk Curse."

Grand Wizard Sulla briefly explained, "You shouldn't learn too many universal bloodline spells. You're not a bloodline studies wizard. Being able to master about three would be good enough. Any more, and the burden on you would likely be excessive."

"And you need to learn them bit by bit."

Locke was somewhat speechless. Grand Wizard Sulla just wanted to get a hold on him to make it convenient for him to work obediently, didn't he?

Making it sound so complicated.

Locke exchanged a few more words with Grand Wizard Sulla, then passed through the planar gate on the first floor of the wizard tower, left the Mage Plane, and returned to the White Dragon Tower.
