Chapter 309

"The situation of the Zhou family is indeed much as she described."

Whether it be equipment, demon pets, or heavenly treasures and rare herbs, the Zhou family is involved in every industry and counts as a well-developed clan throughout the Zhongxia Kingdom.

The matter of the entire family's Ice Bloodline being cursed is also kept extremely secret.

However, as a national councilor backed by the state, he knows a vast amount of hidden intelligence.

Among them, the situation regarding the Tianlan Zhou family is something he has known for a long time.

"I understand, thank you, Teacher, for clearing up my doubts."

After saying thanks and hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi did not call any other relatives.

On one hand, there was the teacher's corroboration, plus the trace of kinship from the bloodline had already confirmed he was indeed a member of the Zhou family.

On the other hand, his aunt and uncle were relatives on his mother's side and knew very little about this matter.

As for the relatives on his father's side, when his younger sister Zhou Yun was critically ill, they did not lend a hand during the most difficult times.

After the college entrance exam, when these relatives came knocking, he ignored them; now it is even more impossible for him to contact them proactively...

"In that case, I really have become a member of the Tianlan Zhou family."

"But how things proceed from here depends on their attitude..."

To be honest, regarding the Zhou family over there, Zhou Yi really wasn't all that interested.

After all, aside from bloodline and surname, the two sides had absolutely no connection whatsoever.

Moreover, he understood the principle that to wear the crown, one must bear its weight.

Once he chose to integrate into the Zhou family and accept the family's resources for cultivation, he would certainly contribute to the Zhou family in the future.

For ordinary professionals, joining the Zhou family and obtaining resources was something to be sought after.

But for Zhou Yi, it held no attraction whatsoever.

After all, he was currently studying at the top-tier Suhang University and had Wang Hui, a Level 64 Third-Cycle Discipline Knight, as his teacher.

He received a large amount of resources from the school every year, and with the System providing assistance, he had absolutely no need to worry about improving his strength!

On the other side, inside the villa at Hancheng University.

Zhou Xiaobai rushed back to her bedroom.

She then took out her phone and dialed her father Zhou Heng's number.

"Dad, I just confirmed at close range; Zhou Yi possesses the Ice Bloodline! He is a clansman of our Zhou family!!"

As soon as Zhou Heng's figure in a suit and leather shoes appeared, Zhou Xiaobai spoke eagerly.

Perhaps because she had been in such a rush all the way here, her breathing was slightly hurried, and her well-developed chest rose and fell with it.

"Oh?"

Zhou Heng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said:

"I have checked on my end as well; the Lijiang City in Suhang Province where Zhou Yi is located indeed once had a branch of our Zhou family."

"However, that was decades ago, a branch of clansmen scattered before the Dark Age.

Who would have thought that now, on this branch, a clansman would successfully awaken the Ice Bloodline!!"

Generally speaking, clansmen branches that leave the Tianlan Province are those unable to awaken even a shred of bloodline power.

For such clansmen, scattering to all corners of the country is the best choice.

The family did not expect an Ice Bloodline awakener to emerge from these people.

Who would have thought reality often likes to play jokes like this.

The Zhou family clansmen gathered in the Tianlan Province failed to produce a few Ice Bloodline bearers, yet one such person appeared from a remote branch.

"Xiaobai, in your estimation, what is Zhou Yi's approximate bloodline concentration?"

Before Zhou Xiaobai could answer, Zhou Heng spoke on his own:

"From a distance of over ten meters, you vaguely felt Zhou Yi's bloodline power; this indicates his bloodline concentration is at least 5 degrees or higher!"

The more concentrated the Ice Bloodline, the more easily it can be sensed by the clansmen.

This is something the Zhou family had confirmed long ago.

And a bloodline concentration of 5 degrees, in the past, could only be considered good, not rare.

However, in the currently cursed Zhou family, it is already a very good bloodline concentration!!

"Dad, you guessed wrong on this one~~"

Zhou Xiaobai shook her head slightly, then giggled:

"According to my estimation, Zhou Yi's bloodline concentration is at least 10 degrees or higher!"

"10... 10 degrees or higher??!!"

Zhou Heng's pupils contracted, and a storm of shock surged in his heart.

What concept is 10 degrees?

Back when our Zhou family was not yet cursed, a bloodline concentration of 10 degrees was already considered an extremely top-tier genius!

After all, even the legendary bloodline concentration of that Zhou family Ancestor was only 18 degrees!!

Now, with the entire Zhou family's bloodline cursed.

Achieving a bloodline concentration of 10 degrees is even more unimaginable!!

"A bloodline concentration of 10 degrees, Xiaobai, are you sure?"

After the shock, Zhou Heng looked at Zhou Xiaobai with a serious expression.

The Ice Bloodline concentration is of great consequence.

He must confirm it clearly.

"I am sure!" (Nuo Zhao Zhao)

Zhou Xiaobai's small face carried a hint of apprehension:

"When I stood before Zhou Yi, the surging power of his bloodline made me feel as if I were not facing a human, but a terrifying deity..."

Strength alone only brings pressure.

And facing Zhou Yi, Zhou Xiaobai truly felt a crushing suppression at the level of life itself.

"As if facing a deity..."

"It seems Zhou Yi's bloodline concentration is indeed very high."

"In that case, I know what to do now."

Zhou Heng nodded, then said persuasively:

"From now on, don't keep calling him Zhou Yi this, Zhou Yi that—by seniority, he's your cousin."

"Your cousin was able to get into Suhang University on his own merit and become captain of the Suhang University representative team, which is enough to prove his extraordinary talent.

On this point, you should learn more from your cousin, get closer to him..."

"Got it~~"

Seeing that her father Zhou Heng was about to start nagging again, Zhou Xiaobai hurriedly brushed him off and hung up the phone.

"Zhou Yi, cousin?"

"Captain of the Suhang University representative team, a level-22 Holy Knight—my cousin is really impressive..."

Zhou Xiaobai didn't mind this suddenly appearing powerful cousin at all.

Instead, she was curious how her cousin had reached his current height.
