Chapter 8: The Truth of Blood
A cold sensation emanated from his wrist, spreading throughout his entire body, as if an invisible eye were staring deep into his soul. He held his breath for a moment and furrowed his brows.
Earlier, when he had seen the bodies of the warriors and felt their powerful auras, he realized they belonged to an elite group of the strong. But now, he was utterly stunned by the strength of this small tribe.
Everyone knew that when Arcane Masters reached a certain level, they developed what was known as "superior perception," akin to having extra eyes that could see everything. For the first time in his life, he felt this sensation sweeping over his entire body.
Despite his astonishment, his eyes never left the priest’s, and he cautiously observed the expressions on the priest’s face.
At first, he noticed the priest opening his eyes in surprise, but after a few seconds, that surprise turned into deep confusion, causing the priest’s brows to arch.
A few seconds later, the priest hesitantly removed his cold hand from Sollivan’s wrist, as if wanting to examine his body again, but he didn’t. Instead, he turned to look at the Supreme Leader.
At that moment, Sollivan let out a sigh of relief.
But before he could fully relax, he felt a strong hand grip his arm. He slowly turned his head and frowned at Willard, but he didn’t utter a word, enduring it in silence. Then he refocused his attention on the priest, who remained silent.
A strange look appeared in the priest’s eyes, and Sollivan listened intently to what he would say next.
This was his only chance to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding his condition and gain information. Ever since he noticed the cautious way the warriors had treated him, his mind had been filled with questions.
After a moment of hesitation, the priest declared firmly, "He indeed possesses primal blood. The young leader’s suspicions were not mistaken." His words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone in shock.
Even the guards, who had remained as silent as statues, involuntarily stumbled in their places. Everyone turned at the same moment and stared at Sollivan with sharp eyes filled with fear.
