Dou Qi Continent.
Within Thunder Realm.
On a vast square emanating an ancient and time-honored aura, nearly a hundred children around eight or nine years of age were gathered at this moment.
Today was a momentous day for the Thunder Clan.
Today, a new batch of outstanding prodigies would be selected from among the new batch of juniors to be cultivated.
Upon the square, Lei Chen, who was in charge of testing the juniors' bloodlines, saw that personnel were nearly complete and spoke indifferently, "Begin."
Following Lei Chen's announcement of the start, a total of five high platforms saw robust men walking toward the upper sections.
Thunder was the foremost among elements, and its might was naturally extremely formidable. Similarly, Thunder Clan members who cultivated the thunder attribute practiced body-tempering from childhood, leading to the result that Thunder Clan members, regardless of gender, almost all looked exceptionally robust.
The males were well and good, but as for some of the girls, they would appear somewhat broad-shouldered and rough.
However, within the clan, there was no ostracization whatsoever; after all, this world ultimately revolved around strength.
"Next, Lei Qi."
Amidst the crowd of youths and maidens, a handsome and upright youth with a hint of youthful immaturity walked out.
Unlike most robust Thunder Clan youths, Lei Qi's physique possessed a very graceful musculature, and his entire person did not look like that of a rough, bulky fellow.
Instead, he rather resembled a fair-skinned and tender pretty boy.
Yet Lei Qi, who appeared out of place with the majority here, went up onto the stage without a single sound of mockery.
This was because Lei Qi, who looked gentle and scholarly, possessed a strength that stood out as the cream of the crop among the younger generation!
This was a gifted competitor.
However, the Ancient Clans ultimately looked at bloodline grades. Although Lei Qi was strong right now, if his bloodline grade were low, his future achievements would ultimately be limited.
Therefore, this day was exceptionally important.
This was something Lei Qi had been exceedingly clear about since the moment of his birth.
However, he actually had nothing to worry about. Mind you, he was one of the many transmigrators, and as a member of the transmigration army, how could he possibly be mediocre, and how could he possibly be lacking?
One could say that relying on his understanding of this world, alongside the accompanying Family Prosperity System, his future prospects were bound to be extraordinary!
Arriving before the testing Star Disc, Lei Qi placed his hand upon the Star Disc. Following that, the pitch-black stars were instantly illuminated—one, two... five, six!!!
The stars on the Star Disc were continuously lit up, illuminating six in the blink of an eye, and they showed no sign of stopping.
At this moment, all the external elders of the Thunder Clan appeared somewhat stirred.
It was merely the dawn of bloodline awakening, yet Lei Qi had lit up six stars; this was something that had not happened in the Thunder Clan for a very long time!!!
Mind you, those who could generally light up six stars in childhood would inevitably reach the Ninth-Grade Bloodline level at their Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
In other words, the future Lei Qi would attain the rank of Dou Sheng!
The bloodlines of Dou God Clans possessed immense convenience, but at the same time, they also carried immense resistance.
Before reaching Dou Venerate, the power of bloodline was a form of assistance; however, once cultivation reached Dou Venerate and beyond, if the bloodline grade was not high enough at that point, it generally marked the end of the line. Many people exhausted their entire lives, yet ultimately struggled to advance even a tiny bit further. Even with the infusion of massive resources, it amounted to nothing more than a slight improvement.
Of course, there were no absolutes, but this sort of situation was the experience gathered across several generations.
Yet right at this moment, the seventh star upon the Star Disc lit up!!!
At this very instant, all the external elders stood dumbfounded!
Disregarding his own dignity, Lei Chen rushed to Lei Qi's side. At this moment, it was as if he saw a long-lost hope!
After the seventh star fully lit up, although the eighth star did not light up completely, it still flickered with a trace of faint radiance.
This caused Lei Chen to shout with tears of joy, "Lei Qi, bloodline Seventh-Grade Advanced!!!"
Following that, murmurs rose all around the arena.
The peers present were filled with nothing short of reverence!
They were all well aware of what a bloodline grade represented. This meant that Lei Qi's future status would pull far ahead of theirs, and the resources he would enjoy were things they could never hope to reach. The gap between them would likewise grow increasingly vast...
Lei Qi looked at the crowd's adulatory gazes, appearing quite nonchalant.
He was not a child, and he possessed his own innate golden finger.
Give it to a dog, and even a dog could bulldoze its way through all the way, right?!
"Lei Dong, bloodline Sixth-Grade Advanced!"
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Lei Qi, a voice suddenly echoed from afar.
Hearing this, quite a few people looked over. Lei Qi looked over as well.
He was not surprised by this Sixth-Grade Advanced bloodline of his. After all, in the original world, this fellow hardly ever showed his face, but whenever he did, he was a peak existence.
One could say this was likewise a truly ruthless individual. At least among the younger generation of the Ancient Eight Clans, he could be called the cream of the crop!
As for Xiao Yan and the like, those were cheaters and could not be factored in.
Meanwhile, high above Thunder Realm.
A man resembling an iron tower stood suspended in the air. His skin was slightly dark, delivering an intensely powerful visual impact. Visible to the naked eye, it was as if giant dragons were swimming beneath that skin, while an aura of terrifying might imperceptibly diffused outward, causing the surrounding air currents to become exceptionally restless.
This person was none other than the Thunder Clan's patriarch, Lei Ying. A late Eight-Star Dou Sheng expert, Lei Ying could be considered a peak combat power existence across this continent.
Every year during the initial bloodline testing, Lei Ying would make an appearance here.
Yet ever since Dou Gods completely vanished from this world, right up until that Ancient Emperor of ten thousand years ago, it was as though the world had been devoid of Dou Gods. And the bloodlines of the Dou God Clans had also begun a gradual decline from that very era.
One could say that from back then until now, the Dou God Clans had continually withered and withdrawn from the stage of history. At present, the Dou God Clans were left with only seven.
They were respectively the Ancient Clan, Soul Clan, Thunder Clan, Flame Clan, Yao Clan, Stone Clan, and Spirit Clan.
Among them, the Ancient Clan, having annexed the final foundation of the Xiao Clan, had yet to see its clan bloodline face exhaustion.
As for the Soul Clan, it relied on the Nihility Devouring Flame controlling the Tunling Clan to allow the Soul Clan to endure; though incomparable to the Dou God era, it was absolute top-tier in the current age.
Although the bloodlines of the Thunder Clan, Flame Clan, and Yao Clan had also begun stepping onto a downward path, they at least still possessed an abundance of talent.
Yet the current conditions of the Stone Clan and Spirit Clan were exceedingly poor. Especially the Spirit Clan, which seemed destined to be yet another clan exiting history...
Yet who could have imagined that the Thunder Clan, which had been dormant for many years and was always thought to be on a downward trajectory, would produce two outstanding juniors in this very year?!
Whether it was Lei Qi or Lei Dong, they were definitely the only two within this century whose initial bloodline test reached above the sixth grade in the Thunder Clan.
Especially Lei Qi, who very likely possessed that legendary Divine Grade Bloodline!
His future prospects could be described as boundless—the bearing of a Dou God!
At this moment, Lei Ying was extremely excited, because the glory of his Thunder Clan was very likely to bloom anew in his era!
