NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Dragon blood
As I awakened my martial soul, I remembered the plan I had devised a week earlier. I knew I couldn't simply reveal the truth about the dragon bloodline and the cultivation technique. My family would be suspicious, and they might even fear that I had been manipulated by a dark force.
The thought of my family being harmed filled me with dread. I knew that the truth would be difficult to accept, but I also knew that it was the only way to protect them. I had to find a way to convince them that I was telling the truth, without risking their safety.
I closed my eyes and focused on the task at hand. I needed to find a way to present the information in a way that would benefit my family without raising any red flags. I needed to convince them that I was acting in their best interests, and that I would never do anything to harm them.
After what felt like hours, I finally had a plan. I would reveal the truth about the dragon bloodline and the cultivation technique, but I would do so gradually. I would start by hinting at the existence of a powerful secret, and then I would slowly reveal the details. This way, my family would have time to adjust to the information and understand the potential benefits.
I knew that this approach was risky, but it was the best I could come up with. I hoped that my family would trust me and believe in my intentions.
As I approached my father, my heart pounded in my chest. I knew that the words I was about to speak would forever change the course of our lives. I took a deep breath and began to speak.
"Father, I have something important to share with you all," I said, my voice trembling slightly. "I have discovered a secret that could greatly benefit our family."
My father and the elders exchanged puzzled glances. They could tell that I was serious, but they were unsure of what I was about to reveal.
"What is it, my son?" my father asked, his voice filled with curiosity.
"I have discovered a powerful cultivation technique and my blood can awaken your martial into dragon type martial soul," I replied. "A technique that could help us all reach new heights of power and prestige."
The elders' eyes widened in disbelief. A cultivation technique? Such a thing was incredibly rare and valuable.
"How did you come across this technique ?" my grandfather asked.
"It appeared in my mind after I awakened my martial soul," I replied. "I believe it is a gift from the heavens, a reward for my hard work and dedication."
The elders were impressed by my explanation. They realized that I was not simply claiming to have discovered a powerful technique. I had provided a plausible explanation for how I had come into possession of it.
"Let me see this technique," my father said, extending his hand.
I handed him the book containing the cultivation technique. He carefully examined it, his face a mask of concentration. After a few minutes, he looked up and nodded.
"This is a remarkable technique," he said. "It could greatly enhance our martial souls and help us protect our family."
The elders agreed. They realized that the cultivation technique was a valuable asset that could help them to achieve their goals.
"We must keep this a secret," my father said. "This technique is too powerful to be shared with outsiders."
The elders nodded in agreement. They took a martial soul oath to keep the information secret, even from their own families.
"I will circulate this technique among the family members," my father said. "I believe it will be a great benefit to all of us."
I was relieved that my plan had worked. I had managed to convince my family of the value of the cultivation technique without revealing the truth about the dragon bloodline. I knew that this was only the beginning of a long journey, but I was confident that we would be able to overcome any challenges that came our way.
My family was overjoyed, but they were also concerned about the potential risks involved. I assured them that the dragon bloodline was safe and could greatly enhance their martial souls. After much deliberation, they agreed to accept my gift.
I brought out the container balls filled with dragon blood and the book containing the cultivation technique. My family members were filled with gratitude and hope. They knew that with the help of these treasures, they could reach new heights of power and prestige.
However, I also knew that there was a potential ethical dilemma involved. While the dragon bloodline could greatly benefit my family, it was ultimately a gift that I had obtained through my own personal abilities. There was a risk that my family might become overly reliant on me, and that I might be pressured to continue providing them with such gifts in the future.
To address this concern, I emphasized the importance of self-reliance and personal growth. I explained that while the dragon bloodline and cultivation technique could be valuable tools, they were not the only path to success. I encouraged my family members to train diligently, explore new opportunities, and develop their own unique strengths.
I also made it clear that I would not be able to provide them with such gifts indefinitely. I explained that the dragon bloodline was a limited resource, and that I would only use it in cases of extreme necessity. I emphasized that my primary goal was to ensure the safety and well-being of my family, and that I would always act in their best interests.
Furthermore, I stressed the importance of responsible use of the dragon bloodline. I explained that the bloodline was a powerful tool that could be used for both good and evil. I cautioned my family members to use it wisely and with great care.
I also emphasized the importance of personal accountability. I explained that while I was providing them with a valuable gift, they were ultimately responsible for their own actions. I encouraged them to use the dragon bloodline to improve their lives and the lives of others, but I also warned them that they would be held accountable for any misuse of its power.
My family members understood my concerns and appreciated my honesty. They reassured me that they would not become overly reliant on me, and that they would continue to strive for their own personal growth. They were grateful for my gift, but they also recognized that their ultimate success would depend on their own efforts.
As I watched my family embrace their newfound potential, I felt a sense of fulfillment. I had not only protected our family's secrets but had also provided them with the means to achieve greatness. However, I had also taken steps to ensure that my gift did not become a source of dependence or exploitation.
I knew that there would be challenges ahead, but I was confident that with the support of my family and the strength of my own character, I would be able to overcome them. I had learned that true power comes not from external sources, but from within oneself. And with the knowledge and experience I had gained, I was ready to face whatever the future might hold.
