《Blood Evolution System 》Chapter 61: Activation of Secret Mechanism!
Advertisement
Although Felix was powerful enough to beat the shit out of any of them in a one-on-one fight, he couldn't do anything once they were all attacking him at the same time.
After all one hand couldn't win against many!
"You guys are shameless for ganging up on me. I will kill the three of you!" Felix screamed in anger as his body trembled violently indicating signs of flame bursting out of his body.
Sensing danger, the three of them quickly jumped backward as flames exploded out from Felix.
After a moment, Leila hurriedly stepped forward, using ice walls to counter his flames, and released a torrent of fist covered in ice towards him once she got close to him, and Felix maneuvered his body with exceptional speed, dodging her punches as flames burst beneath the soles of his shoes.
"Hehe, I got you. It's time to mess up your pretty face," Felix said as he grabbed Leila's fist after a few moments.
"I am the one that got you!" Leila replied with an ice cold expression on her pretty face.
Felix's eyes widened as ice burst forth from Leila's hand and frosted his hands suppressing him from exerting fire. At the same time, ice also wrapped around his legs, stopping him from moving away.
"Foolish! What made you think that your ice ability can suppress my fire ability, huh?! A low-born like you can never compare to me. I have been fed natural treasures and evolution materials ever since I was a child. My fire ability is far stronger than your ice ability!" Felix exclaimed.
He was born with the ability to create fire. Moreover, he was blessed with the mark of flames as he the only son of the saintess of fire. The mark of flame granted fire immunity to its bearer. That's why he could cover his flesh in flames without feeling even a tinge of pain.
Furthermore, he had been fed a lot of treasures to strengthen his fire ability. As his fire ability strengthened by consuming evolution materials, he was able to manipulate it. Through manipulating his ability, Felix learned to create fireballs and utilize flame propulsion.

That's the only two techniques he learned over the course of many years. After all, he had spent his precious time playing games, going out with girls, and troubling others, rather than training every day like Leila and Peter.
To prove his words, Felix channeled magic into his fire ability. Immediately after, the ice sealing his right hand exploded in dozens of shards.
"Let me show you hell!" Felix exclaimed.
Just as he raised his blazing hands to disfigure Leila, someone grabbed his fist and a calm yet cold voice resounded in his ears.
"How could you forget about me? Dumbass!" Varth said as ice burst forth from his hand that grabbed on to Felix's blazing fist, curbing the flame covering Felix's fist in an instant.
Felix instantly turned to look behind him. Immediately after, his eyes widened with shock as he saw that a snow-like tattoo and a golden tattoo has manifested above and below the right eye of Varth.
"You copied her ability!" He shouted in shock.
A moment ago, Varth's eyes met the eyes of Leila. That's when he copied her abilities. His ability allows him to copy anyone's ability when their eyes meet. His hollow cells transform into the target's ability cells when he copies their ability. The targeted person's ability can be used once Varth channels energy into his ability cells.
Nevertheless, he wasn't omnipotent as the level of the ability is adjusted to the number of hollow cells in his body.
At the moment, he could copy abilities below D-rank.
As ice continued to suppress his fire ability cell, as well as spread all over his body, one could see traces of fear in Felix's wide-open eyes filled with rage.
"Varth Hollow, you… what are you planning to do?!" He said in a shaky voice as he found it difficult to bear the feelings of unable to feel the regions of his body frosted by ice.
"You'll know if you are unable to overpower the suppression caused by my ice ability!" Varth said with a smile as an enormous amount of ice burst forth from his hands.
Similar to how Leila used ice to seal his hands and legs, Varth was intending to seal his entire body.

"Don't do what you are are fucking planning to do!" Felix shouted.
"Oh, and why won't I?" Varth taunted. "Who do you think you are? A mere fallen great royal whose arrogance knows no bounds deserves to be sealed in an ice cage!"
As soon as he said those words, Leila's sweetly smiled while Peter started to laugh wildly as they thought that it's really true that what goes around comes around.
"I will help you." Leila channeled magic power into her ice ability cells to help Varth seal Felix in an ice cage.
Although Felix tried to stop the ice from spreading all over him by using his fire ability to fight back, the spread of ice intensified once Leila also used her ability to seal him in an ice cage.
"You bastards!"
Felix only managed to say these words, before he was sealed in an ice cage for good.
After a few moments, Varth and Leila took care of the flame walls in the surrounding.
"Thanks guys, we won't forget this favor!"
The participants expressed their gratitude before rushing forward.
Varth, Leila, and Peter also moved ahead with incredible speed as they used their ability and techniques to evade the incoming projectiles.
A moment later, Leila felt dizzy and she lost her balance. She was about to fall to the ground when Peter caught her.
"Sis!? What's wrong!?" Peter said in concern as he looked at Leila.
"I am feeling dizzy," Leila said as she felt like puking her guts out.
Meanwhile, Varth raised a barrier to save them from the incoming projectiles.
Varth's eyebrows raised as he reached closer to them. "It's a typical backlash that occurs once ability cells are overused. You'll be fine after sleeping for a few hours. Until then, you'll feel dizzy."
"I can't rest right now. I will fail if I fall asleep," Leila said weakly as drowsiness filled her mesmerizing snowy eyes.
"Don't worry, I will carry you on my back. Just try your best to stay awake!" Varth offered to help her. "Besides, no rule states you will be eliminated if someone carries you on their back. You will only be evicted from the race once you are severely injured, get knocked out or ten projectiles manage to hit you."
"Thanks but there's no need for you to burden yourself. I will carry her," Peter said as he helped Leila to climb onto his back.
"Sis, hold on to me tightly," Peter said.
Leila nodded and wrapped her hands around his neck.
"Thank you, Peter," she said.
After a moment, they could be seen moving along the track with incredible speed in a straight line.
After all, Varth used barriers to block the incoming projectiles and reduced the burden for all three of them.
Meanwhile, a lot of participants were disqualified from the race after one or two projectiles crashed on their bodies and injured them fatally.
A lot of participants were finding it hard to dodge the projectiles. After all, the speed of the projectiles has increased so much that it has become exceedingly hard to dodge them and the participants that were disqualified weren't able to dodge them in time.
A few minutes later, Nevis, Vincent, and a few of the participants could be seen only several hundred meters away from the finish line, while Leila, Peter, and Varth were a mere kilometer away from passing the test of agility with the minimal score.
"The condition to activate the secret mechanism has been met!" Alex said with a devilish smile plastered on his face, and he continued, "Devil's word: Projectile Reflecting Boundary!"
As soon as Alex snapped his fingers, an invisible boundary that could reflect projectiles was erected on the track.
The participants stepped forward with all their might, completely unaware that an anti-gravity boundary that could deflect the projectiles has been erected all around the track, and that the projectiles bouncing off of it were approaching them with double the speed.
"What the hell?!"
Most of the students were caught off guard as one or two projectiles crashed on their defenseless backs.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
