6: Chapter 6: The Foundation of a Powerful Family, the Starting Point for a Top Genius!

Wang Pingan did not speak, but he understood clearly in his heart.

The Family attached great importance to him now not only because of his high personal talent, but also because the Family needed the new generation to hold their ground.

On Tianhai Star, the two major families, the Wang Family and the Lin Family, had been competing for hundreds of years; whichever Family's new generation was stronger would have more confidence in the upcoming resource allocation.

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue's gaze first fell on Wang Jincheng: "Jincheng, what path are you preparing to take?"

Wang Jincheng took half a step forward and said in a crisp tone: "Replying to the Third Ancestor, I am taking the lightning-Spell Cultivate path, using the thunder pool to nourish my Lightning Spirit Root, rapidly nurturing Qi-refining citizens in the early stage, and forming a lightning Spell battle Formation as soon as possible."

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue showed approval on his face: "Lightning Spells have strong offense and a clear direction. Not bad."

Joy surfaced in the depths of Wang Jincheng's eyes as he bowed and stepped back.

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue's gaze turned to Wang Qingyan: "Qingyan, what about you?"

Wang Qingyan stepped forward: "Replying to the Third Ancestor, I am taking the wood-type Spirit Planting and Alchemy path, first stabilizing the divine kingdom's spirit fields, then nurturing Alchemy citizens, and subsequently using Medicinal Pills to feed back into Cultivate."

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue's eyes revealed satisfaction: "Wood Spirit Affinity paired with Spirit Planting and Alchemy; in the early stage, it doesn't vie for immediate dominance, but its stamina and later potential are very strong."

Wang Qingyan bowed respectfully and retreated to her original position.

Finally, Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue's gaze fell upon Wang Pingan.

The gazes of the few people in the main hall also turned over accordingly.

Wang Pingan understood in his heart that the real test had arrived.

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue looked at him: "Wang Pingan, your civilization system is Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation. Are you planning to keep Dual Cultivation, or choose a main path first?"

Wang Pingan did not hesitate at all: "Replying to the Third Ancestor, I will keep Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation."

Wang Jincheng's eyes flickered slightly.

Wang Qingyan also looked over.

Wang Henian stood to the side and spoke to remind him: "Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation consumes an enormous amount of resources. You need two sets of Cultivation Techniques, two portions of resources, and your citizen cultivation must also be split. You are currently only a Divine Being, with a divine kingdom area of one hundred square kilometers and a population of one thousand. If you are slowed down in the early stage, you might even suffer at the federal Nova Assessment a month from now."

These words were very direct, without the slightest bit of politeness.

The Nova Assessment was extremely crucial for newly Awakened students; the better the performance, the more subsequent federal and Family resources they would receive.

Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation sounded majestic, but if resources were insufficient in the early stage and neither side took shape, it would become an empty shell.

Wang Henian's gaze was sharp: "A-Grade Comprehension is indeed strong, but Comprehension Ability cannot conjure Spiritual Qi out of thin air, nor can it conjure Qi and blood resources out of thin air."

Clan Leader Wang Tianhe stood in place.

Wang Chengyue did not chime in either.

This was what the Old Ancestor wanted to see.

The Family could give resources, but they could not smash resources into a bottomless pit.

Facing everyone's gazes, Wang Pingan spoke in a steady tone: "Steward Henian's words make sense. Dual Cultivation will slow down the early-stage progress; I am clear on this point."

Wang Henian stared at him: "Since you are clear on it, why still choose it?"

"Because my talent is not simply to assist Cultivate; A-Grade Comprehension can both help citizens deduce Cultivation Techniques and help them comprehend battle skills."

Wang Pingan stood tall and straight, not retreating at all: "If I only take the Cultivate path, half the effect of the Martial Dao would be wasted. The Immortal Martial side produces Spells, Formations, and long-range lethality, while the Martial Dao side produces physique, close-combat legions, and pressure-bearing capacity. Divine kingdom wars are not arena single-combats; citizens must be able to hold Formations and also charge Formations. Relying on only one path will make it very difficult when encountering a restraining system."

Hearing this, the smile on Wang Jincheng's face faded a bit.

These words did not mention him by name, but they happened to hit the shortcomings of a single lightning Spell.

The burst was strong, and the consumption was also great. Once dragged down by the opponent, the pressure on the lightning-Spell citizens would rise rapidly.

Wang Pingan looked directly at Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue: "I do not ask the Family to endlessly replenish resources; I only ask for the dual-system Foundation in the early stage. I will use my Comprehension Ability talent to push both paths up simultaneously."

The main hall quieted down.

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue stared at Wang Pingan for a long time, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Knowing it's difficult, you still dare to choose it, and you explained your reasoning clearly."

He turned his head to look at Clan Leader Wang Tianhe: "This child knows what he's doing in his heart; it's not just a momentary flash of heat in his brain."

Clan Leader Wang Tianhe expressed deep agreement: "I think so as well."

Wang Henian retreated to his original position.

Only then did Wang Pingan realize that the reminder just now was not to obstruct him, but to weigh him in person.

If he only knew how to shout slogans, the Old Ancestor would not give him double resources.

If he couldn't state the cost, the Family wouldn't take first-class resources to gamble with him.

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue raised his hand, and a purple-blue Spirit Stone emerged in his palm. Lightning patterns wandered across the surface of the Spirit Stone, and crackling sounds rang out continuously.

"Wang Jincheng, I bestow upon you one B-Grade Thunder-Pattern Spirit Stone. After placing it in the divine kingdom, it can strengthen the thunder pool and increase the speed at which lightning-type citizens sense lightning Spiritual Qi."

Wang Jincheng's eyes lit up as he strode forward and received it with both hands: "Thank you, Third Ancestor!"

A B-Grade spiritual object was already an extremely high-specification starting resource for a newly Awakened Divine Being.

The Thunder-Pattern Spirit Stone paired with the thunder pool was enough to make Wang Jincheng's early-stage lightning-Spell Formation speed even faster by a large margin.

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue raised his hand again, and a cluster of cyan spring water was sealed in a jade bottle. Spiritual light flowed within the bottle, and its vitality was extremely dense.

"Wang Qingyan, I bestow upon you one portion of B-Grade Azure Wood Spirit Spring. It can nourish spirit fields, accelerate the growth of Spirit Medicine, and also stabilize the Foundation of wood-type citizens."

Wang Qingyan could hardly hide her excitement as she stepped forward and received it with both hands: "Thank you, Third Ancestor."

The Azure Wood Spirit Spring was extremely compatible with her path.

With this Spirit Spring, her divine kingdom's Spirit Planting system would quickly be established, and the subsequent Alchemy path could also be rolled out smoothly.

After rewarding the two of them, Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue's gaze fell upon Wang Pingan.

Holding the Thunder-Pattern Spirit Stone, Wang Jincheng's gaze also turned over.

Wang Qingyan likewise held her breath.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Pingan's naked rating of A-plus meant his reward should be heavier than theirs, but the problem was that Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation required two sets of resources.

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue raised his hand, and a scaled-down earthy-yellow mountain range emerged in his palm. Within the mountain range, Spiritual Qi condensed into mist, and spirit springs could be faintly seen flowing inside.

"Wang Pingan, I bestow upon you one B-Grade Small Spirit Vein. Putting it into the divine kingdom can increase the Spiritual Qi concentration and support Qi-refining citizens in Cultivate."

Wang Pingan felt a warmth in his heart as he stepped forward and took it: "Thank you, Third Ancestor."

The Small Spirit Vein felt warm and smooth upon entering his hand, and the internal Spiritual Qi was thick and heavy, providing immense help in the early stage of Cultivate.

But the next moment, Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue did not stop.

He flipped his other hand, and a blood-colored pool seal emerged. Qi and blood churned within the pool seal, and a heavy wave of heat hit his face.

"Additionally, I bestow upon you one B-Grade Mysterious Blood Pool. It can temper the physiques of the Martial Dao Citizens, aggrandize Qi and blood, and assist in the Formation of the Bone-Refining Realm."

Wang Jincheng's hand holding the Thunder-Pattern Spirit Stone tightened involuntarily.

Wang Qingyan also couldn't help turning her head to look at Wang Pingan.

Two B-Grade spiritual objects.

One for Cultivate, one for martial arts.

This was no longer the treatment of an ordinary first-class Genius; rather, the Third Ancestor was opening the door right on the spot for Wang Pingan's Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation path.

Wang Pingan received the Mysterious Blood Pool with both hands, heat churning in his chest: "Pingan thanks the Third Ancestor for the reward; I will definitely not live up to the Family's cultivation."

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue looked at him with a solemn tone: "Since you dare to take the Dual Cultivation path, the Wang Family will give you a chance. As long as you can steady your Heart-Nature, although the Wang Family is not considered large in the Federation, we still have a solid Foundation on Tianhai Star."

Wang Pingan bowed deeply: "Yes."

In the main hall, Wang Jincheng looked at the resources in Wang Pingan's hands, his fingers tightening a bit more.

Shock was difficult to conceal in Wang Qingyan's eyes.

As fellow newly promoted first-class Geniuses, Wang Pingan's treatment immediately surpassed theirs by a distinct margin.
