Rex was instantly attracted by the massive 2-colored door.
Rex secretly hoped for a system mission notification to pop up as he looked at the door but he was disappointed this time, apparently, not every single thing that he did would be turned into a mission by his system.
After removing his mind from the system mission, he finally focused on the door. The left side of the door was green, while the right side was colored red.
Instantly after he looked at the red side, Rex felt his body resonating with it. On the right corner of the red part of the door was a port that could fit in a massive book, as Rex kept on looking at it, his eyes suddenly widened in realization.
Before Princess Elanor could question his actions, Rex accessed his storage ring as his Blood Tome appeared on his hand the next moment.
When he looked at it now, the size was exactly the same. His Blood Tome was actually the secret key to activate the red part of this door.
Rex without a word went closer and pushed his blood tome into the port.
Click!
The Blood Tome fit in easily as the red part of the door became aligned.
Nothing happened after a minute of silence, so Rex turned to face Princess Elanor. "You said the problem was with the red part of the door".
"Try activating the green part let's see the reaction".
"Ok". Princess Elanor simply answered before going to work.
Without a word or a polite please turn your eyes, this Princess removed her luxurious clothes instantly, exposing her smooth thighs, chest, and arms which were only protected by a Super Grade mystic armor.
Rex coughed and removed his eyes but Elanor did not give a damn about him as she picked her Bow and Arrow before jumping.
She landed on a platform that materialized out of mid-air and a voice spoke.
"Begin!"
Princess Elanor's face became instantly serious as she pulled her bow and arrow and started unleashing attacks at invisible opponents.
She did not just use her battle domain proficiency to fight, she used her Golden Metal mystic ability to control the metals that were in the surrounding to fight on her behalf against the invisible opponents.
She also used her Plant Control mystic ability as her armor ejected sturdy tree branches which she fought with; she was a warrior princess at this moment.
As she fought, Rex started thinking of everything that happened. Was this Elder Bam related to his Blood Tome which in essence meant his family?
He was not sure but his curiosity was now piqued. After encountering his family's inheritance ground where he saw the blood throne and took the blood tome, he never saw it again for 6 months.
Now, he seemed to have found another clue to it. Though he was improving fast already, to face his archenemies, he knew that he needed to improve faster.
Click!
The next moment, Rex was startled as the green part of the door made a clicking sound also. Princess Elanor finally descended and they both retreated as the door for the first time in centuries moved.
Mechanical gears were moved, mystic runes and formations were activated as the massive heavy door finally opened for the first time since its creation.
"An Elf should enter the green passage for the elven inheritance".
"A Vampire should enter the red passage for the Elder inheritance".
"You have only 5 seconds to enter".
Rex and Princess Elanor were about to celebrate and think about what happened before, but on seeing 5 seconds, they dared not hesitate as they both jumped into the red and green passages that appeared respectively.
Bzzz!
Both of them disappeared instantly and the door closed back.
…
Rex regained his sight and saw himself in a vacant dark room with its only furnishing being a massive blood throne that stood at the end of the room.
Rex recognized this blood throne instantly, it looked extremely similar to the same blood throne that he saw in his family's inheritance ground.
Shockingly, a figure was seated on the blood throne. Rex was spooked at first but on looking closer, he discovered that no figure was seated there, it was just a black cloak that seemed to be worn by an invisible figure.
As Rex looked while keeping his guard up, 2 red eyes suddenly lit up from the emptiness wearing the cloak as Rex's consciousness was drawn away.
Rex woke up in the starry skies where he saw a hairy old man. This old man was so hairy and muscular that he looked like an ape, he was a bonafide Pugilist.
"Welcome kid, if you got the Blood Tome, it means you are the last".
"My name is Bam, the 3rd Elder of the Vector Family".
"I am the greatest Tiajutsu expert of the Vector Family". The old man grinned which only made Rex shudder as it made him look like a demon ape.
"I have an inheritance for you but since I don't have any guarantee if you'll be able to fulfill my requirements, I prepared 2 freebies for you".
"The cloak outside is my Iron Mike Cloak". He grinned again.
"You may not know Iron Mike but he was a great boxer of the 21st century that I adored. My Tiajutsu fighting technique was made with him as an inspiration, so also is my Iron Mike Cloak which was my greatest companion during my rise".
"I'll give you the Iron Mike Cloak and a self-defense Tiajutsu skill".
"I know you're a talented swordsman so I have no intention of teaching you my Tiajutsu technique".
"You just have to know that there are times where you will be forced to fight outside your comfort zone and this is where my skill will come in play".
The next moment, before Rex could react, the old man tapped his head.
Bzzz!
[Soul information transfer has been initiated!]
[You have learned Master level skill: Ultimate Iron Defense!]
Without waiting for Rex to get used to the new knowledge that was in his head, the old man continued. "The inheritance that I left in the micro world is the Soul Rider inheritance".
"Try it to see if you can complete it".
"Even if you can't complete it now, it'll follow you. Once you are ready, you can attempt it outside the micro world of the Great Forest".
Again, without waiting for Rex to thank him for all the freebies that he just received, the old man laughed before flicking him away like a bug.
Bzzz!
After his consciousness returned back to his body, the first thing that Rex did was confirm that the master level skill that he learned was real.
"Damn, it's real! I just learned my first master level skill!"
The fascinating thing about this was that unlike when he learned skills from other sources, the skill points required to learn this skill were waived. It was like this ancestor of his personally taught him this skill for years.
It took him a few seconds but after he finally broke away from the joy of learning his first master level skill, Rex deviated to the inheritance test.
He obeyed the old man's instruction, went closer and sat on the blood throne. Instantly, Rex's consciousness left his body again.
This time, Rex saw himself appear in a world that was dominated by green. It was like he was stuck inside a green ocean, and he was not inside a boat, rather he was inside a strange mystic bike.
A strange voice suddenly reverberated in the green world.
"On your mark!"
"Get set!"
"Go!"
"Huh?" Rex was confused for the first few seconds until he saw body doubles of himself having already started the race and were speeding ahead.
"Wait…, the goal is for me to beat them in a bike race?"
"Ugh, start!" Rex finally started his race with his body doubles and their bikes but the distance was already too much, he could not catch up.
They drove for a long time that Rex could not estimate and when they finally crossed the finish line, instead of the race ending like Rex expected, he was dragged into an even more turbulent and dangerous race track.
The race continued like this, taking him to more dangerous tracks until the voice suddenly sounded again, this time in a harsher tone.
"You failed!"
Rex was instantly booted out of the green world.
"F*ck! What type of messed up inheritance test is that?"
Amid his complaints, Rex rubbed his aching head as he finally stood up from the blood throne. Beside the throne, he was surprised to see his Blood Tome as he bent down to pick it.
Alongside his Blood Tome, he also picked the Iron Mike Cloak.
