Chapter 216 -214-Soul-Language of Nature
Old John’s words were not an exaggeration; he had indeed identified a problem with Sherry.
Both Ethan and Sherry were aware of this issue as well.
It traced back to their first meeting in the Red Jade Valley, where Ethan discerned an issue in Sherry’s Bloodline.
Her lineage was not whole, causing some of the skills she wielded to be fragmented as well.
However, since Sherry did not exhibit any adverse conditions, neither of them paid much heed to it.
Now, with Old John highlighting the inherent danger, Ethan couldn’t help but feel anxious.
"Can alchemy complete Sherry’s Bloodline?" Ethan asked straightforwardly, assuming that Old John pointed out the issue to persuade him to study alchemy.
"Yes," Old John nodded but clarified, "Not complete, per se. The Shadow Bloodline is a very special kind, incredibly rare, and has one particularly unique feature; it never resides in a single individual but splits between two people. Moreover, the Shadow Bloodline only manifests in twins."
"Twins?" Ethan turned to Sherry.
A perplexed look graced Sherry’s face as she stated, "I don’t have a sister."
"No! The records cannot be mistaken. Young girl, I can assure you, you must have a twin sister, and she is still alive. The most significant characteristic of the Shadow Bloodline is known as Shadow Twins. As long as one of the twins bearing the Shadow Bloodline lives, the other cannot die. Even in the face of death, they will become the shadow of the other, gradually regenerating. This is the origin of the shadow," Old John asserted with conviction, startling Ethan and Sherry with this revelation of such a mystical Bloodline.
