Testing

After resting for a while, Lei Dong ran down the mountain.

Now that he was already a Five Star Dou Practitioner, running such a distance was hardly anything to him. However, the weights on his body did put pressure on him. Still, after spending the whole past year like this, he had gotten used to it.

A moment later...

The moment Lei Dong stepped through the front door, he saw Lei Ying sitting in the living room.

Lei Dong asked in confusion, "Father, don't you have anything to deal with today?"

After all, as the clan leader, he was busy every day. Matters within the clan, matters concerning the subordinate clans, and so on... all of them had to be handled by him.

Lei Ying's face darkened. "Son, did you forget what I told you a few days ago?"

"Huh?" Lei Dong froze when he heard that. After pondering for a moment, he slapped his forehead and said, "Father, you mean today is the day we test our bloodline grade?"

Seeing Lei Dong like this, Lei Ying felt even more helpless.

One had to know that testing bloodline grades was the most important matter for the Ancient Families!

Other people's children had gone early in the morning, but this brat from his own family? He still hadn't shown up... If Lei Ying hadn't known that Lei Dong was a martial fanatic just like him, he would have thought the boy had overslept.

Lei Ying cursed with a helpless smile, "You can even forget this? You really are my own flesh and blood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Lei Dong by the clothes with one hand and walked out.

Lei Dong had long since gotten used to his father's habit of acting first and never wasting words when he could use his hands. Though being carried like this was extremely embarrassing, Lei Dong accepted it in the end!

After all, resisting didn't seem to be of any use!

A moment later, father and son arrived at the square in the central area of the Lei Clan. The square was a full thousand zhang wide. At a glance, countless young boys and girls stood within it, waves of clamor rising into the sky.

As soon as he arrived, Lei Dong heard everyone discussing him.

"Why still hasn't Lei Dong come?"

"Hey, he's the clan leader's son. When can't he come?"

"What airs! Unlike us, who were called here bright and early."

"No! I think Lei Dong must be cultivating."

"I think so too. Lei Dong is a cultivation maniac."

Listening to the voices in the square—some complaining about his absence, others defending him—Lei Dong curled his lips. Lei Ying said nothing either, and with a single step, arrived at the testing area.

After seeing Lei Ying appear with Lei Dong, everyone present, young and old alike, shut their mouths at the same time.

Lei Ying looked at the Testing Elder, Lei Qi, and said, "Elder Lei Qi, begin!"

The tester known as Lei Qi replied, "Yes, Clan Leader."

After Lei Ying spoke, Lei Qi made all the preparations, then looked at Lei Dong and said, "Come test, Lei Dong."

The current Lei Dong was not yet the Young Clan Leader. At least, before his bloodline grade came out, he still could not obtain that title.

In the end, Ancient Families spoke through bloodline grade and strength.

Even if you were the clan leader's son, if your bloodline grade was too low, you were still trash.

After hearing this, Lei Dong placed his hand on the Star Plate. Then, the pitch-black stars were instantly lit up—one, two... The stars on the Star Plate continued to light up, breaking past six in the blink of an eye.

However, it still did not stop. At that moment, all the Lei Clan elders stared fixedly at the scene before them.

They all wanted to know just how many stars Lei Dong could awaken!

And in the next moment, the seventh star, the eighth star... until finally, the ninth star also lit up!

After seeing this, the elders present could no longer sit still. At this moment, the square was utterly silent. After seeing Lei Dong's bloodline grade, Lei Ying was so delighted that he could not even close his mouth...

One had to know that before a certain age, bloodline concentration could be raised through cultivation. A Ninth Grade Bloodline in childhood would almost certainly enter God Grade after reaching adulthood!

Elder Lei Qi beside him also took a moment to recover from his shock. Then, Elder Lei Qi announced Lei Dong's grade: "Lei Dong, Ninth Grade Bloodline!"

He had been responsible for the clan's testing for decades, and this kind of astonishing result was definitely the first he had ever seen.

Ever since the fall of the previous Lei Clan Dou Di, Lei Dong was likely the first person in nearly a thousand years to possess a God Grade Bloodline. He could absolutely be called the clan's number one person in the past thousand years!

Following Elder Lei Qi's announcement, the emotions of the older members of the Lei Clan in the enormous square were instantly ignited.

"The heavens bless our Lei Clan!"

Amid their joy, everyone cupped their fists and said, "Congratulations, Clan Leader!"

After rejoicing for a while, Lei Ying looked at everyone and announced, "From today onward, Lei Dong is the Lei Clan Young Clan Leader!"

Everyone had still been shocked by Lei Dong's bloodline grade, but after hearing Lei Ying's appointment, every gaze in the square once again gathered on the small figure at the center of the grounds. As they looked at that figure, the younger generation was filled with awe and worship, while the elders could not help but show admiration.

But no matter who it was, no one spoke up to object.

Although the Lei Clan was not like the Soul Clan, where everything could be decided by the Soul Emperor, it was close enough. After all, the Lei Clan loved battle and respected the strong.

When Lei Dong heard this, he then said, "Father, your child will definitely lead the Lei Clan to its peak! We will become the number one power on the continent!"

In truth, as long as he had even a little talent, the title of Young Clan Leader would definitely be his. To put it bluntly, he was the Crown Prince of the Lei Clan. And now that his bloodline rank was so high, who would dare refuse? At the moment, he was merely saying a few words for show.

At this moment, quite a few young girls of the Lei Clan were looking at him with eyes full of light. However, Lei Dong had no intention of responding at all.

It was not that he disliked women. On the contrary, he was even the kind of greedy man who could never get enough.

Unfortunately... the girls of the Lei Clan were just like the girls of the Stone Clan, each one sturdy and broad-built. Though they were not ugly, to him, there was always something that felt off about them... He really had no interest.

When it came to aesthetics, Lei Dong felt that he and his father saw eye to eye.

After all, his own mother had once been the pearl of the Flame Clan.

After the bloodline test ended, a group of lackeys gathered around Lei Dong.

They were all around seven or eight years old, and their talent was fairly good. They were only seven, yet their cultivation had already reached the seventh or eighth stage of Dou Zhi Li.

Placed on the Central Continent, they would all be absolute geniuses.

After all, they had only begun cultivating at four or five years old.

Among them were also a few with slightly higher bloodlines, whose cultivation had reached the ninth stage of Dou Zhi Li. They were Lei Yun, Lei Dian, Lei Yu, and Lei Kong.

Lei Dong knew that supporting the Lei Clan in the future definitely would not be something he could do alone. So he accepted these followers wholesale.

However, the current him had no time to lead them around playing. He only told them all to cultivate properly and promised the four of them positions as elders. But at the same time, he also put the ugly words up front: if any of the four grew lazy, they would be kicked out directly.

After receiving Lei Dong's promise, the four of them all began cultivating hard. After all, if they could not become clan leader, becoming elders was also very good!
