First Location Sign-in

As the elder's voice fell, Hun Feng's expression was indifferent. His special status seemed to have long accustomed him to these gazes. His face was cold and aloof, showing no emotional fluctuations. He slowly turned and stepped down the altar stairs.

Only when he brushed past Hun Han did his eyes move, and a hint of mockery appeared in his gaze. It was also filled with a strong sense of triumph.

As for Hun Han, he was long accustomed to this. Although Hun Feng was his thirteenth elder brother, the latter showed him no affection. The relationship between the two was like strangers.

It wasn't just Hun Han and Hun Feng; the relationships among Hun Tiandi's other children were similar. Even if they were polite on the surface, they had undoubtedly tripped each other up countless times in secret. All these struggles were for the position of the Hun Clan's Young Clan Leader. The position of the Hun Clan's Young Clan Leader was like... the struggle for succession within an empire!

"Look, he's finally up!"

"After so many years, his Qi Sea is still blocked. It's truly surprising!"

"Who says not? Even an ordinary descendant of our Hun Clan can become a weak Dou Practitioner. Yet, he can't even break through the most basic Dou Qi. He's truly the champion of trash!"

"But what is that thing he's holding?"

On the plaza, everyone surrounded Hun Han, discussing him animatedly. It seemed that, lacking Hun Feng's talent, they could find a sliver of superiority in Hun Han. As for Hun Han, he had long grown accustomed to these sarcastic remarks. Soon, they noticed the strange object in Hun Han's hand.

At this moment, a Foundation Lollipop was already more than half licked away by Hun Han.

Given Hun Han's status as Hun Tiandi's thirteenth son, these sarcastic remarks were very different from Xiao Yan's experience. They could only whisper and giggle, not daring to speak loudly.

With a calm expression, Hun Han walked to the side of the Dark Soul Stone Tablet. Ripples surged within his heart. Finally, he was about to complete his first location sign-in mission.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Hun Han held the Foundation Lollipop in one hand and slowly touched the Dark Soul Stone Tablet with the other. Immediately, the Dark Soul Stone Tablet emitted a faint glow. Five words appeared on the Dark Soul Stone Tablet: Fighting Qi, First Stage!

Everyone's faces froze for a moment. Then, cheers erupted continuously:

"Good, good, congratulations Young Master Hun Han, you can finally use Dou Qi to temper your body!"

"Yes, Young Master Hun Han, keep up the good work. I believe one day you will surely become a true Dou Practitioner!"

"Young Master Hun Han, it took six years to reach Fighting Qi, First Stage. I believe it will take you at most sixty more years to enter the ranks of Dou Practitioners!"

As the characters appeared on the Dark Soul Stone Tablet, the surrounding people encouraged Hun Han one after another.

Hun Han's expression remained unmoved, indifferently accepting these "blessings." It was as if nothing concerned him.

If Hun Han were from a common family, these words would be perfectly fine. However, this was the Hun Clan, where the strong reigned supreme and talent was paramount. These seemingly supportive words were merely a disguised form of mockery towards Hun Han.

After all, any random disciple just now possessed a cultivation of Fighting Qi, Seventh Stage. Yet, Hun Han was at the lowest, Fighting Qi, First Stage.

Hun Han wasn't anxious about this at all. He had only licked half of a Foundation Lollipop and had already improved from having no Dou Qi to reaching the Fighting Qi, First Stage. This was his first breakthrough in six years.

Every time Hun Han licked the Foundation Lollipop, he could feel a sweet energy flowing down his throat, seeping into his bloodline, and then nourishing his internal organs.

Hun Han still had forty-nine such lollipops. Breaking through to the Dou Practitioner realm was only a matter of time for him.

Beside him, the Hun Clan elder in charge of the test looked at the calm Hun Han and inwardly marveled, thinking: I never expected this child's willpower to be so tenacious. Facing such sarcasm, even an adult would have emotional fluctuations. Yet, he shows no emotion at all. What a pity, his talent... it's just... truly... too useless! His father and mother are such lofty existences. How could they have such a useless son?

The Hun Clan elder sighed faintly, imperceptibly, and announced loudly, "Hun Han, Fighting Qi, First Stage, Rank: Low-level; Bloodline: None!"

Bloodline: None!

That's right, there was no energy fluctuation in the space around the Dark Soul Stone Tablet. This indicated that Hun Han had no Dou Di Bloodline within him. In other words, Hun Han was just an ordinary person, common as street dirt.

Bloodline: None!

As the Hun Clan elder's authoritative voice fell, silence descended upon the surroundings. However, the mockery in everyone's eyes was incredibly intense. Out of respect for Hun Tiandi's face, none of them dared to mock him directly. Their faces, wanting to laugh but unable to, were incredibly comical.

"Ding dong!"

"Do you wish to sign in at the Hun Clan's Dark Soul Stone Tablet?"

"Sign in!"

Hun Han signed in without any hesitation.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, you have completed the location sign-in mission. You have signed in at the Hun Clan's Dark Soul Stone Tablet and obtained: Saint Grade Bloodline."

"Ding dong!"

"The system has issued a new location sign-in mission. Please sign in at the Hun Clan's Library Pavilion. Do you wish to accept the sign-in mission?"

Library Pavilion?

Hun Han hesitated!

The Hun Clan's Library Pavilion was very similar to the Xiao Family's Technique Pavilion. It was an important place that only those who reached adulthood or broke through to the Dou Practitioner realm were qualified to enter. The Hun Clan's Library Pavilion was only present in the "Imperial Capital." As for the cities within the Hun Clan's independent space, they only had the secondary Technique Pavilion.

This meant that if Hun Han wanted to sign in at the Library Pavilion, he would have to wait another ten years or break through to the Dou Practitioner realm. Otherwise, there was no other way.

However, the current situation was not optimistic. After today, according to Hun Clan rules, with such poor talent, he, Hun Han, would be assigned to a certain region. At that time, it would become extremely difficult, like climbing to heaven, to sign in at the Library Pavilion.

"Accept!"

Even though the mission was so difficult, Hun Han accepted the location sign-in mission for the Library Pavilion without any worry.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, you have successfully accepted the sign-in mission. Please complete the sign-in at the Hun Clan's Library Pavilion."

"Alright, next, Hun Yutong!"

"Wait."

Hun Han did not leave the altar. He bowed respectfully to the Hun Clan elder presiding over the test and said crisply, "Elder, my condition was not good just now. Please allow me to test again!"
