Celestial Bloodline
chapter-401

Ray raised his brow and, after coming in front of Kyle, flicked his forehead.

"Tsk tsk, after spending some time in a coma, you've become so impolite. What did you just call us, 'you two'?"

Kyle rubbed his forehead and stared at the man in front of him.

"I mean, bro, I'm old now. So, it's okay..."

He swallowed his words when Ray looked at him with deep eyes.

"Ah... brother. Can you sit in front of me? I need to check your body."

Ray nodded with a satisfied grin and pulled a chair in front of him to take a seat. He stared at Kyle, who grabbed his wrist and closed his eyes. Ray had seen Yue give divine essence to others, so he couldn't help but feel a little sad that Kyle hadn't given him and Neon any divine essence.

However, he knew Kyle must have considered all the options before making the best choice. Also, he and Neon didn't have a high talent to begin with. So, the chances of them failing to absorb the divine essence were really high.

Neon also sat down beside them and watched as Kyle furrowed his brow and sniffed the air. Neon blinked in surprise.

"Where the heck did he learn this bad habit?"

Kyle heard his words and his eyebrow twitched a little, but he focused all his concentration on Ray. Baron Ohan and Butler Eon also sat down beside the trio to see what Kyle was up to.

Time passed slowly, and everyone's attention was fixed on Kyle, who had his eyes closed. Ray let out a hiss as he felt Kyle's already cold fingers on his skin grow even colder.

He looked down with furrowed brows and observed as Kyle moved his hand slightly, causing a chilling sensation that made his skin tingle uncomfortably.

In that moment, Kyle opened his eyes and flashed a wide grin. He stared at Ray, who had a confused expression on his face.

"I knew it... we all have it in our bodies!"

At first, Kyle was going to save two vials of divine essence for Neon and Ray. But then he remembered. Just like him, his whole family had the ice enchantress essence in their bodies. Even though it was in a small amount, it was way more powerful than the divine essence.

Regardless, even if his family did not have the ice enchantress essence in their bodies, Kyle would have found a way to extract his own divine essence and give it to them. After all, now that he had the pseudo divine rank strength, he felt confident that he could make it happen.

But just as he thought, he sensed the ice enchantress essence in Ray's body, although very faintly. It was so subtle that he couldn't even locate it with his scent perception skill. In the end, he had to focus solely on Ray's body to find it.

Kyle rubbed his chin with a deep expression.

'It would be a little difficult to awaken the ice enchantress essence in their bodies, but not impossible.'

He had learned a lot about the Celestial bloodline in his body from Nesis, that old man who ran off who knows where before he even woke up. So, maybe, just like how he controlled the celestial essence in his mind space to heal his soul, he could control it again to help his family.

'I need to try at least. It would be the best option. If it doesn't work, I have to find some treasures that would help them awaken the ice enchantress essence.'

Seeing Kyle's distracted expression, Ray swatted his hand away with a groan.

"At least let go of my wrist before you start daydreaming. Your hand is too cold."

Kyle rubbed his hand and clicked his tongue. But then he let out an evil smile.

"Big Brother... I'm going to do a little experiment on you."

Ray shuddered at the politeness oozing out from Kyle's words. He grabbed Kyle's shoulder tightly with a similar smile.

"You want a beating?"

"Of course not... It won't be painful, I swear. Or maybe just a little... I'm not sure."

Ray let out a laugh. It seems Kyle was serious.

"So, you want to make me your first test subject?"

Kyle nodded, but before he could say another word, Ray propelled his chair backward, far away from Kyle. But the man froze when he realized he couldn't move and stared at Kyle with wide eyes.

"You little prick, what did you do?"

Kyle blinked.

"I knew you would try to run away, that's why I drew a little invisible symbol on your chair. Now, you can't stand up until I'm done."

Ray looked at his father for help, but his father stood up and left, saying he should go make something good for dinner.

Neon stared at Ray and let out a sigh.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Kyle, and if the experiment becomes too dangerous, I'll save you immediately."

Kyle rubbed his hand and dragged his chair toward Ray.

"So, let's start, shall we?"

Ray shut his eyes and braced himself for what was to come. He knew Kyle wouldn't do anything harmful, but the smile on the latter face made him suspicious.

"Okay, fine. Do whatever you want. It's not like a little experiment would kill me-!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a chilling sensation spread across his wrist. He looked down and saw blue flames around his skin, but they didn't touch him. Instead, they just roamed around his skin.

Ray glanced at Kyle, who had a dead serious expression on his face. Strangely, within a few seconds beads of sweat formed on Kyle's forehead, as if he was struggling with something. Kyle clenched his jaw and stared back at Ray with a dry smile.

"It's harder than I expected. So, let's get serious, brother. No matter what happens, don't move, not even a bit, because I have to retrieve it from your body as soon as I'm done... or else it can harm you."

Kyle closed his eyes and focused, to quickly sense the dormant ice enchantress essence within Ray's body.

Then, he exerted all his willpower just to control a few blue particles in his body and guided them outside.

'Damn it... I am only controlling a few particles, but it feels like my body can't handle it.'

Ray stared at him, unsure of what Kyle intended to do. Nevertheless, he held his breath and remained still. In the end, he didn't feel anything except for a cold, prickling sensation that seeped into his body. Also, the sensation disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

He looked at the icy blue flames around his wrist and they scattered into thin air. His eyes narrowed at the faint, almost invisible blue particles hovering above his hand. However, the particles instantly leaped towards Kyle and vanished into his skin, as if they couldn't part with him.

Kyle released his hand and took a deep breath with hazy eyes. He experienced a dreadful sensation just by letting a few particles out of his body.

"That was hard. Not just hard, it was dangerous... I was afraid I would accidentally harm you."

Ray rubbed his wrist and looked at Kyle with a frown.

"What did you just do?"

Kyle chuckled and blinked his eye to clear his vision.

"Nothing special, just increased your talent."
