He signed his name on the certification document and stamped it with a complex rune stamp:
"Congratulations, Apprentice Ralph, you are now officially a Bloodline Modifier. This qualification is recognized throughout the Ring Abyss Continent Group."

"I heard you've been interested in abyssal creatures lately."
Maxim suddenly spoke, his voice turning deep and serious: "You've even purchased a large portion of the Scorpion from that gladiatorial match?"
Ron's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface:
"Yes, as research material. The adaptability and unique energy structure of abyssal creatures are significant references for bloodline modulation theory."
