192: Xun'er: Brother Gu Fei, I am stunning this time

"Kid, you got lucky this time!"

On the stage, Ling Quan, after hearing Gu Yao's words, had no choice but to obey. As he left, Ling Quan gave Xiao Yan a contemptuous look.

"Creak..."

At this moment, the feeling of humiliation in Xiao Yan's heart was beyond words.

He clenched his fists, and the sound of knuckles cracking could be heard continuously.

But unfortunately, he could only vent his anger like this. No matter how furious he felt, he couldn't do anything to Ling Quan, a Dou Zun.

Fortunately, no one at this moment would care about the emotions of a mere minion.

Even Xun'er was pretty much the same.

In her opinion, it was a blessing that Xiao Yan could avoid a fight with Ling Quan this time.

Without empathy, not many people could understand the suffering in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Why am I so incompetent?"

Xiao Yan constantly shouted in his heart. He seemed to feel that Xun'er was protecting him like a weakling, rather than genuinely caring.

"Xiao Yan, relax. No one should bother you anymore!"

Wind Venerable lightly patted Xiao Yan's shoulder.

His words finally pulled Xiao Yan back to reality from his inner world.

That's right!

I'm a useless Dou Zong.

Being able to avoid a battle with Ling Quan is a blessing in misfortune. What else can I wish for?

Xiao Yan laughed mockingly.

As Ling Quan stepped down, young members of the Ancient Clan began to go up one after another to test their Bloodline Rank and receive their clan 紋.

Soon, it was Gu Yao's turn to test his Bloodline.

Gu Yao stepped onto the stage, extended his palm, and gently touched the astrolabe.

The astrolabe was silent for a while, then after a long moment, it suddenly trembled violently. Brilliant light burst forth from it, and stars appeared on the astrolabe one after another.

"One, two, three... eight!"

Looking at the eight stars slowly appearing on the astrolabe, the crowd immediately erupted in an uproar.

Even some Elders nodded with a hint of amazement, clearly very satisfied with this test.

"It's an Eight-Rank Bloodline… worthy of being one of the Four Great Commanders!"

Whispers and envious voices from the Ancient Clan members constantly came from the square.

"Gu Yao, one of the Four Great Commanders of the Black Annihilation Army, Nine-Star Dou Zun, Eight-Rank Bloodline Power, granted a Purple-Gold Clan Mark!"

As the shout fell, an Elder took out a Purple-Gold Dragon Brush. The tip of the brush suddenly erupted with an extremely dazzling light.

Soon, an arcane rune quickly appeared on Gu Yao's forehead.

"Whoosh!"

Drawing this so-called Purple-Gold Clan Mark seemed to consume an extreme amount of Qi.

Therefore, when the last stroke fell, the Elder's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he let out a long breath. As his hand stopped and the brush fell, the dazzling light from the brush tip slowly weakened.

"Nine-Star Dou Zun... My teacher, at his Peak, seemed to be at this Realm. And this Ancient Clan member, so young, has already achieved such a feat..."

Watching the Ancient Clan members go up to the stage one by one, Xiao Yan felt increasingly aware of the power of this race, and at the same time, he felt a sense of dejection.

People said that a thousand years ago, the strength of his Xiao Clan was not inferior to that of the Ancient Clan. Unfortunately, a thousand years later, it has fallen to such a state... What exactly happened back then to cause the decline of the Xiao Clan, an ancient great clan?

..."Let me preside over the next ceremony."

After testing the Bloodline of a few more young Ancient Clan members, an old voice carrying immense pressure resounded in the sky above the square.

Immediately after, an old man suddenly descended onto the square. Several Elders around him respectfully bowed, and at the same time, their eyes were filled with shock.

They all understood what it meant for even this person to personally preside over the coming-of-age ceremony.

This time, there would definitely be a Prodigy clan member with a Bloodline surpassing Eight-Star.

"Xun'er, it's your turn!"

After the old man appeared, he looked towards Xun'er in a corner of the square.

"Mhm!"

Hearing this, Xun'er raised her head and chest, and under the gaze of tens of thousands, slowly walked onto the high platform.

"Gu Fei Gege, you will definitely be surprised by me later..."

After Xun'er stepped onto the stage, she took a deep look in Gu Fei's direction, then closed her eyes, and her jade-like hand rested on the astrolabe.

One by one, stars also quietly appeared.

All eyes in the entire audience were focused on the astrolabe at this moment.

One, two, five... eight!

Looking at the increasing number of stars on the astrolabe, the breathing of many people in the square became heavier.

Some even, with keen perception, could detect subtle fluctuations in the space of this sky, and faintly, obscure yet powerful Qi emanated.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, not long after the eighth star appeared on the astrolabe, another burst of strong light gathered.

"Nine stars, Nine-Rank Bloodline!"

Looking at the nine bright and dazzling stars on the astrolabe, almost all the Ancient Clan members took a deep breath.

Nine-Rank Bloodline, this meant that the Ancient Clan would have a clan member with the potential to advance to Dou Sheng!

Although this was still only potential, with such potential, and given enough time, this potential would truly create a new Dou Sheng!

Dou Sheng, such an existence that now symbolizes the Peak in this world.

Even a super force like the Ancient Clan valued it extremely, because for forces like them, what they competed on was actually the number of Dou Sheng each clan possessed!

Whoever had more Dou Sheng was the true Peak force!

"It truly is a Nine-Rank Bloodline. Xun'er's Bloodline Power is indeed formidable..."

Gu Yao, who had been promoted to Asura Commander, watched this scene and couldn't help but smack his lips.

Although Gu Yao no longer liked Xun'er, this did not affect his admiration for a high-Rank Bloodline clan member.

"Already at the Nine-Rank Peak..."

In the square, the Ancient Clan expert testing Xun'er stared intently at the extremely dazzling stars.

Under the convergence of countless gazes, Xun'er's jade-like hand suddenly trembled. Her jade-like arm seemed to become transparent in that instant.

Inside, blood flowed rapidly through her blood vessels, and golden specks of light, accompanied by the blood vessels, rapidly converged towards the jade-like hand that was touching the astrolabe.

"Hiss!"

As the golden specks of light became denser and denser, eventually, Xun'er's entire arm became like it was cast from gold.

When this light reached its zenith, the astrolabe suddenly trembled violently, and tiny cracks quietly appeared, then rapidly spread.

"Such terrifying Bloodline Power, even the astrolabe can't withstand it!"

Seeing this scene, even the Elders showed looks of horror.

"Buzz buzz!"

As the cracks spread, after the ninth star on the astrolabe, a golden yellow glow suddenly appeared faintly.

After a long moment, a completely golden yellow, slightly dim star, completely appeared under the gaze of countless eyes.

"Bang!"

The moment the tenth golden-yellow star appeared, the astrolabe used for testing directly exploded with a bang.

"Ten stars. Divine Grade Bloodline!!"

Almost all the Ancient Clan members stared dumbfounded at the golden-yellow beam of light in the sky.

"Gu Fei Gege, I wonder if Xun'er surprised you this time?"

Xun'er slowly opened her eyes, seemingly not surprised by this situation. Her gaze went straight to Gu Fei, with a slight hint of pride in her heart.
