It took quite a while before Xu Ying regained her composure.
"You must have hidden your chakra affinity. Quite the trick!"
Qi Yuan did not argue, merely continuing to survey his surroundings.
Xu Ying spoke slowly. "Judging by your expression, you probably don't know much about Level Seven. Want to know?"
Qi Yuan's eyes flickered. "Oh? Are you willing to tell me, classmate Xu?"
Xu Ying came from a King Family Clan, so she was bound to know a great deal about Level Seven.
"Since humanity discovered the Planetary Space, a total of fifteen King's Legacies have been found on Level Seven. You know that much, right?"
Qi Yuan nodded. He had already learned that from Yan Gang.
He had also been told not to choose Kakashi, Shimura Danzō, or Might Guy.
"But coming from a humble background, you probably don't know that there are differences between King's Legacies."
Qi Yuan raised his eyes. "Differences?"
Xu Ying nodded.
"Based on humanity's chances of obtaining these King's Legacies over the past three hundred years or so, we've divided these fifteen Kings into three tiers!"
"The higher the tier, the lower the chance of obtaining that King's Legacy, but the higher your potential ceiling after receiving it!"
"Of course, obtaining a higher-tier King's Legacy also requires greater chakra affinity!"
"What are the three tiers?"
Qi Yuan fixed his gaze on Xu Ying's beautiful eyes, leaving her momentarily taken aback.
In all her years, few people her age had dared to look her over so brazenly!
She averted her gaze slightly and continued, "The first tier requires somewhat lower chakra affinity!"
"It consists of the following nine King's Legacies."
"Shimura Danzō, Torifu Akimichi, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, Dan Katō, Hiruko, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, and Sakura Haruno!"
"Based on past experience, the vast majority of people who enter Level Seven receive one of these nine King's Legacies."
"I suggest you choose Torifu Akimichi, Mitokado Homura, or Sakura Haruno!"
"Because according to my information, these three King's Legacies make it easier to break through cultivation realms than the other six!"
Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow. He was being underestimated!
Clearly, Xu Ying had decided he could only choose a first-tier King's Legacy.
But why Torifu Akimichi, Mitokado Homura, and Sakura?
Doesn't my man Kakashi Hatake deserve a mention?
Doesn't Lord Hiruko's Chimera Technique deserve a mention?
Doesn't Lord Pot Kage's Izanagi deserve a mention?
Doesn't handsome Dan's Spirit Transformation Technique deserve a mention?
Although Xu Ying was surprised that Qi Yuan had also reached Level Seven, she clearly believed his chakra affinity had only barely met the requirement.
Chakra affinity was closely linked to a person's talent, but it was also inseparable from the environment they grew up in.
King Family Clans like hers had every kind of natural treasure at their disposal, making entry into the Planetary Space as easy as could be.
Yet achieving a chakra affinity above 100 was still very difficult, let alone above 150.
For someone from a mere humble background like Qi Yuan to enter Level Seven, calling him an ordinary prodigy would no longer suffice.
Xu Ying smiled confidently. Her chakra affinity was as high as 232, so there was surely still a considerable gap between them.
"The second tier contains five King's Legacies."
"They are Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Hatake Sakumo!"
Based on past experience, her chakra affinity gave her a very high chance of receiving a second-tier King's Legacy!
"And there is only one inheritance in the third tier."
"Tobirama Senju!"
Qi Yuan frowned slightly. These King's Legacies probably weren't classified entirely by strength!
Otherwise, Guy with all Eight Gates open could easily take on every one of the others in single combat.
"Thank you for telling me, classmate Xu. I owe you a favor."
Xu Ying chuckled. "Since you've made it this far, consider this a way of building a friendly connection."
"After all, none of this information is much of a secret to me."
Besides, someone had already asked Xu Ying to look after Qi Yuan a little.
Such a small matter really was not worth mentioning.
Qi Yuan, however, took it to heart.
He then began surveying his surroundings. The space was still shrouded entirely in red mist, so thick he could not see his hand before his face.
"Don't bother looking. We can't see any information right now."
"We arrived at the wrong time. We need to wait for the mist to clear before all the inheritances appear!"
"How long will that take? Where's the entrance to the next level?"
Xu Ying had been about to answer Qi Yuan's first question when he abruptly asked about the Eighth Layer.
She was left somewhat speechless.
"Why are you asking about the Eighth Layer? Don't tell me you have your sights set on it?"
Qi Yuan grew interested. "Young lady Xu, you have plenty of connections, so has anyone actually entered the Eighth Layer?"
Xu Ying sneered. "You really don't know your limits."
"The current Lord Yu Wang is a peerless genius rarely seen in three hundred years, with chakra affinity as high as 280."
"But even he couldn't push open the gates to the Eighth Layer. In the end, he could only choose the Level Seven King inheritance, Tobirama Senju."
Xu Ying kindly reminded him, "Forcing your way onto a level beyond your reach will only lead to death!"
"So don't get any ideas beyond your station, or you'll die and waste your talent for nothing!"
Qi Yuan was about to speak when the mist suddenly surged. Before long, it dispersed, revealing an open expanse.
Xu Ying looked delighted. "The King's Legacies are about to appear!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than over a dozen statues rose from the ground, towering directly before them.
Qi Yuan looked closely, surprise appearing on his face.
The statues were lifelike, depicting the familiar figures from his memories.
Kakashi, Might Guy, the Sannin, the Third, Sakumo Hatake, the Second...
Suddenly, three of them shone with light, which then shot toward Xu Ying.
Her face filled with excitement.
In other words, with her chakra affinity of 232, she had three choices.
"Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo, and Tsunade!"
Xu Ying instantly ruled out Kakashi's inheritance.
She had no interest in such a commonplace King's Legacy.
Besides, Kakashi would inexplicably develop a Sharingan later on.
Although she could gouge it out, she had no desire to become a one-eyed warrior.
"That leaves Hatake Sakumo and Tsunade!"
"They say Hatake Sakumo excelled in swordsmanship, and receiving his inheritance gives you as much as a one-in-five chance of breaking through to King."
"But I already possess the Ice Release kekkei genkai. Practicing swordsmanship as well would likely divide my focus and prove counterproductive."
"Tsunade's inheritance excels in Medical Ninjutsu and grants extremely tenacious vitality. Once cultivated to a certain level, it allows access to her own Summoning Contract!"
"And her finer control over chakra would complement my Ice Release kekkei genkai."
"Most importantly, she can remain eternally youthful!"
"Choosing her would benefit me more."
