Activating the Bloodline (New Book, Please Bookmark)

Three years later.

Time passed by leisurely. In the blink of an eye, three years had gone by. Hun Xiu was now seven years old.

At the same time, his strength had reached Level 9 Dou Qi. He was just one step away from condensing a Dou Vortex and becoming a respected Dou Zhe.

Yet Hun Xiu had never condensed a Dou Vortex to become a Dou Zhe. It was not because he could not, but because he simply did not want to.

Because... Hun Xiu wanted to wait until he had activated his Dou Emperor Bloodline before condensing a Dou Vortex and becoming a Dou Zhe.

Today.

It was the annual day in the Hun Clan when seven-year-old children activated their Dou Emperor Bloodlines. Early in the morning, Hun Xiu slowly rose under the care of the maids.

Many children were already standing in the plaza, all about the same age as Hun Xiu.

There were roughly a hundred of them. After all, the Hun Clan was a clan, and in order to grow their family, the Hun Clan's experts had certainly put in plenty of effort.

At the center of the vast plaza stood a Stone Tablet. It was plain and unadorned, and had stood in the plaza for many years.

Yet the passage of time had left no traces upon it.

It was still the same, standing there as ever.

Beside the Stone Tablet stood a stern middle-aged man in a black robe. A faint yet terrifying aura radiated from him.

With Hun Xiu's current Level 9 Dou Qi strength, he could not see through the middle-aged man's cultivation at all.

"The bloodline activation ceremony begins now. Everyone, be quiet!"

As the middle-aged man's voice rang out, the entire plaza immediately fell silent.

Seeing the plaza quiet down at once, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and said slowly, "When I call your name, come here and place your hand on the Stone Tablet. The Dou Emperor Bloodline within your body will then be completely activated."

"Now, begin."

"Hun Dan!"

"Here!"

A chubby little boy hurriedly ran before the middle-aged man and gave him a slight bow.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly. "Place your hand on the Stone Tablet."

"Yes."

Without hesitation, the chubby Hun Dan quickly placed his plump little hand on the plain Stone Tablet.

All the children turned their eyes toward the Stone Tablet, eager to see what grade Hun Dan's Dou Emperor Bloodline would be.

Even Hun Xiu could not help staring fixedly at the Stone Tablet.

What was the Dou Emperor Bloodline? On the Dou Qi Continent, it was practically a cheat code. Talent and the like were utterly worthless before the Dou Emperor Bloodline.

Dou Emperor Bloodlines were divided into Grades One through Ten. A Rank 10 Bloodline was also known as a Divine Grade Bloodline. Those who possessed such a bloodline had the Potential to become Emperor.

Even though the Dou Qi Continent lacked Origin Qi and thus made it impossible to become a Dou Emperor, someone with a Divine Grade Bloodline could still become a Saint given enough time. Reaching the pinnacle among Dou Saints would merely be a matter of time.

The moment Hun Dan's chubby little hand touched the Stone Tablet, the tablet immediately shone brilliantly.

Soon, a line of words appeared on the Stone Tablet: Eighth-grade Bloodline.

"Hun Dan, Eighth-grade Bloodline," the middle-aged man said slowly after glancing at the words on the Stone Tablet.

Someone with an Eighth-grade Bloodline would undoubtedly be considered an outstanding talent among the other Ancient Clans.

But within the Hun Clan, an Eighth-grade Bloodline was nothing remarkable at all.

After all, the Hun Clan's foundation was beyond comparison with that of the other Ancient Clans.

While the bloodlines of the other Ancient Clans had gradually thinned, the Hun Clan's Dou Emperor Bloodline remained at its peak due to the existence of the Nihility Devouring Flame.

Hun Dan looked at the Eighth-grade Bloodline displayed on the Stone Tablet, clearly unwilling to accept it. He had thought he would have a Ninth-grade Bloodline.

He had not expected only an Eighth-grade Bloodline, and it left him deeply disappointed.

Hun Dan withdrew his hand from the Stone Tablet in disappointment. Immediately, the aura within his body began to rise.

The children in the plaza shrank their pupils sharply and did not even dare breathe loudly.

At last, the powerful aura within Hun Dan's body gradually stabilized. The middle-aged man then said, "Hun Dan, Eighth-grade Bloodline activated. Strength: 8-Star Dou Practitioner."

"Gasp..."

When the middle-aged man's words fell, even though everyone present was merely a child, they could not help drawing in a breath of cold air.

What was a Dou Zhe? A Dou Zhe was the first step toward becoming an expert. If one wished to become a powerhouse who stood tall on the continent, the first step was to cultivate to the Dou Zhe realm.

Then, one had to climb step by step from the Dou Zhe realm until one finally stood at a height others could not reach. Only then could one be considered a powerhouse of a region.

Especially when Hun Xiu saw Hun Dan go from nothing to something, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching.

After cultivating for years, he had only reached Level 9 Dou Qi. Yet Hun Dan had simply activated his Dou Emperor Bloodline and leapt from nothing to 8-Star Dou Practitioner.

Hun Xiu was practically dying of envy. At that moment, he could not help marveling at how terrifying the Dou Emperor Bloodline truly was.

Watching Hun Dan leap straight to 8-Star Dou Practitioner, Hun Xiu seriously began to question the meaning of his cultivation these past few years.

Why had he, someone with a Dou Emperor Bloodline, needed to cultivate at all? Wouldn't it have been better to simply wait until today to activate it?

Wouldn't it have been better to spend those years playing? Just as Hun Xiu began questioning his life, Hun Dan had already walked away, his face filled with disappointment.

"Next, Hun Qiu."

"Here!"

Hun Qiu was excited to hear his name and hurriedly jogged over to the Stone Tablet.

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, he quickly placed his little hand on the Stone Tablet.

He had watched Hun Dan's actions clearly just now, so when his name was called, he was especially excited.

The middle-aged man said nothing at the sight. After all, he was just a child. Everyone had been a child once.

When Hun Qiu's little hand touched the Stone Tablet, the tablet shone brightly.

A line of words appeared at that moment: Seventh Grade Bloodline.

Seeing this bloodline, the middle-aged man shook his head in disappointment. "Hun Qiu, Seventh Grade Bloodline."

"This..."

Hun Qiu stared at the words on the Stone Tablet in a daze. A Seventh Grade Bloodline? He actually had a Seventh Grade Bloodline? He had thought that, like Hun Dan, he would have an Eighth-grade Bloodline. He had not expected it to be only a Seventh Grade Bloodline.

He removed his little hand from the Stone Tablet, utterly dejected.

As Hun Qiu's little hand left the Stone Tablet, the aura within his body gradually rose, finally stopping at 7-Star Dou Practitioner.

The middle-aged man's voice sounded again. "Hun Qiu, Seventh Grade Bloodline activated. Strength: 7-Star Dou Practitioner."

Upon hearing this, Hun Qiu left in low spirits.

Watching Hun Qiu leave, the middle-aged man called out, "Next, Hun Feng!"
