Chapter: 1286

This created a ripple inside Bakgi, who had no other desire but to be the strongest under his Lord, Chun Yeowun.

‘... I must be crazy.’

Bravely, he drank the dragon’s blood.

All the warriors of the Demonic Cult had seen how the officials of the North Sea Ice Palace who drank the blood had turned into soot, so they knew that it had to be diluted.

However, Hu Bong succeeded in taking in the blood of the Flame Qilin, but it was done because Hu Bong was in a drastic situation.

Even if Bakgi died, he wanted to try it.

And the result.

Crackle!

Just like Hu Bong, who was able to generate flame qi, he got thunder qi.

Of course, he was on the verge of death.

If it wasn’t for Chun Yeowun, who appeared at the right moment and calmed the raging thunder qi in his body, Bakgi would have died.

However, despite absorbing the thunder qi, controlling it was difficult.

[It’s different from Hu Bong. It may be because the dragon died recently, so more qi seems to remain in the blood.]

Chun Yeowun judged it as such.

And his prediction was almost right.

The blood of the Flame Qilin in the shrine was diluted for ages.

[If the thunder qi in his body can be completely circulated, then the thunder qi won’t come out unconsciously.]

That was what the former lord, Chun Inji, had said after checking Bakgi’s condition.

At first, he couldn’t understand what Chun Inji was saying, but then he explained it in an easy-to-understand manner.

[You need to reach the Superior Master level.]

[... what?]

If reaching that level was an easy task, then Bakgi would have climbed it at once.

Recalling that Hu Bong was much lower than him when taking in the blood of the Flame Qilin, Bakgi thought that it would be the same for him.

He managed to take in the thunder qi, but he didn’t manage to level up.

‘... were Hu Bong’s qualities superior to mine?’

He was confused.

In the academy, Hu Bong was the weakest. Bakgi couldn’t understand just how much Hu Bong had grown.

Looking back at Hu Bong, who was riding his horse, Bakgi sighed.

“Uh.”

Hu Bong never wanted to compete with anyone.
