Death… And Me Chapter 596 - Frandin's Improvement

Chapter 596 - Frandin's Improvement

Frandin and the twins then went to the Bloodline Trials Office in the city. As always, the place had almost no one present. After all, achieving the necessary Soul Power to try a Rank Five one was way too difficult. Unless, of course, you have the right n.o.bility status.

Not long after, they heard the conditions for the Rank Five Bloodline Trials together with the security procedures if Frandin wanted to try it out. Frandin couldn't help but comment through a Spiritual Sense message.

'For someone at my age, a Soul Power of 420 points is necessary. Also, that's not considering the boost given by the Bloodline Marks, but your raw power alone. That's just way too hard!'

Roan narrowed his eyes before asking.

'You said you had 263 points of Soul Power when I asked you last time, right?'

Frandin nodded.

'I did. However, that was when my Rank Two Bloodline Mark is active. Without it, it's a lot lower. To be more specific, without my Bloodline Mark, it's 20% lower. Why do you ask?'

Roan continued with his train of thought as he asked.

'Have you tested your Soul Power after that? Even after I bought the Soul Measurement Crystal, you didn't try to check your Soul Power even once. However, I have put you through training that far surpa.s.ses the quality of the regime you had before. I even tailored it around your Soul Power practice to test how things would be for me if I get the Bloodline Mark. Surely it must have increased, no?'

'This...'

Frandin had to admit that it was true. However, every time he went through Roan's schedule, he would be a half step away from death, so he didn't pay attention to how much it increased. He only knew that it did grow, that's all.

Rean became curious as well, so he took the chance that they were already in the Bloodline Trial Office and told Frandin.

'Ask the attendant if they can test your Soul Power right now. Let's how much you improved in these several months of Death Style Soul Power training.'

Frandin then looked at his hand as he gathered some of his Soul Power there.

'It definitely feels a lot stronger... But, I don't think it's anything worth praising. If I were to guess, I think I got another 40 to 50 points of raw Soul Power. Of course, I'm not looking down on these 40 to 50 points. If it was the time I was in Danve City, I definitely wouldn't have increased my Soul Power so much like that. At most, I would have improved 10 to 20 points in the same period.'

Roan already began to lose his patience as he said.

'Stop coming up with excuses and check it already. I don't care about how much you think you improved. I want raw numbers! Precise measure! Just ask the attendant for the Soul Measurement Crystal already.'

Frandin nodded after that. Without his Bloodline Mark, he had around 210 points of Soul Power when he first met Rean and Roan. It was now time to see how good it became.

"Sorry, sir. Would you mind testing my Soul Power? I want to see how much I've improved until now."

The attendant nodded, not caring too much. His job was to find Zasfins capable of taking the Rank Five test even if they were extremely rare. As much as he thought it would be impossible for Frandin, he had to follow the rules.

Frandin was then brought to a private room with Rean and Roan to test his power. There were also two members of the Bloodline Trial Office there to check the results to make sure no one would cheat the test.

Rean and Roan kept their play of submissive humans as they headed to a corner to wait for Frandin. Of course, their Spiritual Senses were on the Soul Measurement Crystal and Frandin himself.

Frandin then touched the Soul Measurement Crystal and summoned his Soul Power. Unlike Roan, he could manifest it in the outside world, so it gave a much more precise result.

Soon, the Crystal lit up as it absorbed Frandin's power.

The two members of the Bloodline Office weren't expecting much. However, the moment the Crystal lit up, their eyes shone as they looked at Frandin. At the very least, the Crystal was glowing a lot more than their expectations.

It only took a minute before the Crystal finished its job and let Frandin go. Everyone then looked at the surface, waiting for the numbers to appear.

3...

4...

2...

342!

"What?!"

Frandin felt like he was struck by lightning!

"342! How's that possible?!"

Frandin was obviously shocked. That's because his Soul Power almost doubled in half a year he spent with Rean's group. Before, he thought he would have enough power to be the best genius in Danve City. However, with such a number, he was definitely the greatest genius in the several cities around Danve together!

However, the attendants were a little disappointed.

"Sigh... 342. You are still 78 points away from reaching the necessary mark to enter the Rank Five Bloodline Trial. Sorry, little friend. But you will have to try harder."

The other attendant nodded in response. However, he was curious about something.

"He's right. Still, there is one thing I don't understand. You definitely have the necessary Soul Power to try a Rank Four Bloodline Trial, let alone a Rank Three. Why are you still using a Rank Two Bloodline Mark?"

"This..."

Frandin scratched the back of his head before saying.

"I didn't know my Soul Power was this big before..."

The attendants felt they had heard wrongly. There was almost no Zasfin that didn't test their own Soul Power regularly. How come this guy hasn't done that?

"Ahem... Well, you do have the talent for that. You should really think about trying a Rank Four Bloodline Trial. It will also increase your status in our Empire."

Frandin nodded absent-mindedly. His head was totally on the number that he had just seen. After some time, Frandin bid farewell to those attendants before leaving the office with Rean and Roan.
