Due to the sudden appearance of a certain guy from the Church of Light,and managing estate piling works thereafter,Ethan hadn't gotten time to see his information and test his strength.

Ethan stood before the hovering blue screen, his eyes scanning the glowing text carefully.

Name: Ethan Blank

Status: Lord of the Blank Estate

Species: Human [99%], Draconic Bloodline [1%]

Aptitude: Warrior [C], Magician [E]

Rank: Early Master Knight, Initial Intermediate Stage

Partner: 3

Children: 7

Lifespan: 250 years

Ability: Bloodline Convergence – 2nd Stage [SSS]

He studied it quietly, his brows furrowing as a faint smile formed on his lips. "So my potential has finally been upgraded to C. That means I've crossed another threshold," he muttered to himself, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

He recalled what he had learned earlier about potential and inheritance. "For a child to be born with C potential, both parents need to have their aptitudes accumulated and aligned… But with my C potential, I assume my children must at least have D rank, right?"

[Yes.]

The cold mechanical response echoed in his mind, confirming his thought. Ethan leaned back and exhaled deeply, still trying to make sense of everything. The concept of potential had always felt vague, yet he knew it played a massive role in determining one's future strength.

"As long as the mother is at the beginner's stage, a child can be born with higher potential…" he said softly, thinking aloud. "But in those cases, it would require a large amount of nutrition. Otherwise, the baby could drain the life essence of the mother."

He frowned and clenched his fists slightly. "That's quite dangerous. I just hope Lia wasn't harmed when she gave birth to the D-ranked child." A wave of guilt passed through him as he remembered her pale face during childbirth. "I was too naive to believe there were no side effects," he muttered regretfully.

His eyes then shifted to the new stat flashing at the bottom.. Lifespan: 250 years.

The number alone made him freeze. "Two hundred and fifty years…" he whispered, stunned. "That's… incredible."

He hadn't even had time to truly enjoy the feeling of his breakthrough, yet seeing this enormous increase in lifespan sent shivers down his spine. "A Master Knight can already live this long. Then how long could someone live in the stages above me?"

His thoughts wandered as a wild idea surfaced. "Could one even become immortal here… like in those cultivation legends?" He chuckled nervously. "No, that sounds ridiculous… but still…"

The notion felt like a taboo, something forbidden by nature itself, yet once it appeared in his mind, it refused to leave. The possibility of stepping beyond mortality—it was a temptation that made his blood stir.

He took a deep breath and smiled faintly, turning his focus back to his abilities.

At his current level, his body felt entirely different. His movements were light, and his muscles brimming with energy. "At Master Knight, my mobility has skyrocketed. I can cover hundreds of meters in one leap," he muttered. His perception had expanded too; he could now sense movements and sounds from far away when he concentrated.

But what excited him the most was the faint trace of draconic power flowing through his veins. He looked down at his hands and whispered, "So this is the Draconic Bloodline. Have I already stepped into a higher evolutionary form of Dragon?"

He sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes, and began to focus. The blood inside his veins surged, and his heartbeat echoed like a drum. Slowly, he lifted his right hand.

A faint crimson glow shimmered over his skin, and then..

Crackle!

Darkish rer, shimmering scales began to spread from his fingertips, climbing over his knuckles and wrapping around his hand. The texture was smooth yet sturdy, glistening faintly under the torchlight. His fingernails hardened into sharp, claw-like tips. The transformation continued until his entire forearm up to the elbow was covered in dragon-like armor.

He stared at it, his breath quickening. His arm looked fearsome yet beautiful, radiating a faint heat and power that made the air hum.

Ethan clenched his transformed fist, and a low rumble filled the chamber. "Incredible…" he whispered, awe in his voice.

He could feel a flood of energy coursing through that arm. "The strength feels enhanced by at least forty percent," he muttered, examining the scales closely. "And the surface itself feels indestructible. It's both a weapon and armor."

Wanting to test its true might, Ethan stood up and took a stance. He focused his strength, allowing the draconic energy to surge through his arm.

"Let's see what you can do."

With a sharp breath, he twisted his waist and swung his arm forward.

BOOOOM!

The air exploded with a deafening blast as his punch tore through the atmosphere.

A fist mark seemed to tear through the air making its way out.

Ripples of force shot outward like waves, shattering the training pillars and shaking the entire estate.

The wind whipped around violently, tearing through the nearby grass and scattering dust into the sky.

The shockwave blasted across the courtyard.

Within seconds, the peaceful estate turned into a scene of chaos.

"ARGHHH!"

"ATTACK! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!"

"The estate is being bombarded!"

"Guards! Call the guards, quickly!"

"Protect the young master!"

The shouts of panic and confusion echoed from every direction. Servants ran in all directions, tripping over each other. Knights scrambled to grab their weapons.

Horses neighed loudly as the stable doors flew open.

Ethan froze, his jaw slack as he watched the mayhem unfold through the window.

'Oh no…' he thought, his face paling.

From the corner of his eye, he spotted his son, Ray, running across the courtyard with his sword drawn, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Where's the enemy? Show yourself, coward!" he yelled, swinging his sword wildly at empty air.

Ethan's face turned white as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He opened his mouth but no words came out.

'Shit… I'm gonna be fucked.'
