Chapter 63: Baptism of the Sea
"In order to stop the merfolk bloodline from using your magic to strengthen your body, you need to improve your physical strength."
Eoryun listened to the lengthy explanation but still didn’t know how to solve it. "If I need to improve my physical strength, my cultivation speed is way too slow. Even if I change to focusing on cultivating sword energy now, it would be too late, right?"
Tiana shook her head. "No, no, I’m not asking you to focus on cultivating sword energy and become a swordsman. I’m asking you to fully awaken your merfolk bloodline."
Eoryun: ???
"My bloodline is already awakening, right? But because my body strength isn’t enough, it’s causing the bloodline to not awaken completely, isn’t it?"
Tiana finally revealed her plan. "Pure-blood merfolk undergo a baptism by merfolk priests after birth. So, I’m planning to let you try the same thing. The priest isn’t the key; merfolk aren’t exclusionary. What matters is whether the merfolk altar accepts you. If your bloodline is strong enough... there shouldn’t be any problems."
Eoryun finally understood. "So, Grandaunt, you’re unsure about the concentration of merfolk blood in my body, which is why you’re unsure about the success rate, right?"
Tiana nodded.
"This really isn’t something to worry about." Eoryun relaxed, feeling much lighter. His tone was filled with confidence. "This won’t affect me. After hearing your explanation, I actually think it will succeed."
"After all, I’m your sister’s descendant."
Tiana froze for a moment before suddenly laughing. "Indeed, you are my sister’s descendant. As the most powerful being among the merfolk, how could her descendants be weak?"
