Ever since the rumor spread six years ago that David Walker's father had been killed while traveling outside, he and Sarah Thompson had depended on each other for survival.

David Walker looked at Sarah Thompson, his gaze softening, and said, “Mother, it’s nothing, just a dream.”

Seeing David Walker’s pale face, Sarah Thompson sat by his bedside, touched his forehead, and said with a heart full of pain, “It’s been three days now. Every time, you shout that Grace Walker is harming you. Ming’er, what’s really going on? Was your injury really because of Grace Walker...”

David Walker said, “Mother, it’s nothing, you misheard.”

David Walker didn’t tell Sarah Thompson that it was Grace Walker and the Grand Elder who were responsible, because Sarah Thompson had never practiced martial arts, and telling her would only put her in danger.

Sarah Thompson hesitated for a moment, then said, “Ming’er, from now on, you mustn’t call Grace Walker by name in front of others. Two days ago, Grace Walker awakened a level five bloodline and even opened a divine meridian. She’s now been recognized by the Elders’ Council. At the clan assembly in two months, she’ll take charge of the Lu family and become the head of the clan. Calling the clan head by name might be seen as disrespectful.”

“What? Grace Walker is going to take charge of the Lu family? No way.”

David Walker let out a low, angry roar, his eyes bloodshot, his teeth grinding so hard they nearly shattered, blood even seeping out.

After the rumor of David Walker’s father being killed six years ago, the Lu family had been managed by the Elders’ Council, with no new clan head appointed.

Seeing David Walker like this, Sarah Thompson was terrified and at a loss, only hugging David Walker’s head, tears streaming down as she said, “Ming’er, don’t scare your mother. I’ve already lost your father, I can’t lose you too.”

“Father... where are you? Ming’er believes you’re not dead. Now, Ming’er is powerless, can’t even hold onto the position of clan head.”

David Walker gripped the pendant around his neck tightly, so hard that his nails dug into his flesh and blood seeped out.

This pendant, made of bronze and the size of a broad bean, was sent back by someone entrusted by David Walker’s father before his accident. For the past six years, David Walker had always kept it with him.

Blood from his palm seeped out and flowed onto the bronze pendant.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the bronze pendant began to tremble slightly and became scorching hot.

Before David Walker could react, the bronze pendant shuddered, then turned into specks of powder, which drilled into David Walker’s palm and disappeared.

Immediately after, David Walker felt a surge of burning energy flow from his palm, up his arm, and after a while, it settled at the center of his brow.

“Nine Dragons Undying, Bloodline Reborn!”

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed in David Walker’s mind, making his head buzz.

“Nine Dragons Undying, Bloodline Reborn!”

“Nine Dragons Undying, Bloodline Reborn!”

......

The continuous roars kept echoing in David Walker’s mind. Then, a scorching aura surged from his brow toward his spine.

The next moment, the roaring stopped, but his spine began to itch intensely, and his whole body became burning hot.

“What’s happening?”

David Walker was completely at a loss.

At this moment, the itching in his spine grew even more intense, as if something was slowly growing.

“Ming’er, what’s wrong? Don’t scare your mother.”

Sensing something strange with David Walker, Sarah Thompson became even more frightened and didn’t know what to do.

“Bloodline rebirth? Could I really have a bloodline rebirth?” David Walker wondered.

Ancient texts recorded that only a very few people, after their bloodline was stripped or damaged for other reasons, could experience bloodline rebirth and grow a new bloodline.

But most reborn bloodlines were of very low grade and not very useful.

However, there were a rare few who could break through after destruction, be reborn from the cocoon, rise from ruin, transcend the past, and awaken a supreme bloodline.

But the odds were so low as to be negligible; according to ancient records, there had only been a handful of such cases throughout history.

Transcending the past and awakening a supreme bloodline—David Walker didn’t even dare think about it. The odds were just too slim. He would be thrilled just to awaken any bloodline at all.

With a bloodline, he could cultivate martial arts and change his fate.

At this moment, the strange sensations in his body gradually faded. David Walker smiled and said, “Mother, I’m fine!”

“Young master, it’s so good that you’re alright. You really scared us these past few days!”

At this moment, a young girl walked over and said.

The girl was about the same age as David Walker, and extremely beautiful.

David Walker naturally recognized her. Her name was Autumn Grace, and she was Sarah Thompson’s personal maid, who had grown up with him since childhood.

“Autumn Grace, I’m fine, don’t worry!”

David Walker said with a smile.

Then, David Walker glanced around, and his expression suddenly changed. “Mother, where is this? This isn’t the Lu family’s main residence!”

David Walker’s father had once been the head of the Lu family, and they had always lived in the main residence, but this wasn’t it.

“Ming’er, just focus on recovering. Don’t overthink it!” Sarah Thompson said, but the flash of sorrow and tears in her eyes did not escape David Walker’s notice.

“Mother, what’s really going on?” David Walker asked.
