79: Chapter 79 One in a Billion
Everyone present changed their expressions, as the oath sworn by Goddess Yileina was quite severe.
However, this also made everyone become fanatical.
As long as they could capture that kid who popped up from nowhere and dig out his left eye, they could have the Goddess marry into their own family; this would definitely drive the entire Six Great Families crazy.
At this moment, everyone looked toward Ling Yichen's direction.
Even Yan Ruyu, who had been reading a book the whole time, raised her head for the first time, looked at Ling Yichen, and frowned slightly.
Because this promise given by Goddess Yileina could, to a certain extent, be considered a kill order issued against Ling Yichen.
However, the only thing to be thankful for was that the Goddess did not actually want to kill him, but only wanted to capture him and dig out his left eye.
Of course, those present did not know Elina's true thoughts.
"Hmph, as long as I capture this kid and report it to the family, that will be a great merit. When the time comes, the family will recall me. Marry into them? That's impossible."
From beginning to end, Elina had never thought about marrying into the Six Great Families.
The reason she said that was merely to get the people of the Six Great Families to help her capture Ling Yichen.
Because she knew that relying solely on her personal strength, it seemed difficult to deal with Ling Yichen; the immortality ability alone was enough to give her a headache.
...
At this very moment, Ling Yichen did not know that Elina had set her sights on him so intently.
He and Tian Yingying were still discussing the combination of the Spirit Worm and the seed.
After a brief discussion, he and Tian Yingying both believed that the Spirit Worm could support the growth of the seed, providing it with the energy to take root and sprout, while the seed could also grow rapidly after being catalyzed, then absorb the enemy's essence, blood, and flesh to feed back to the Spirit Worm, thereby achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.
As they chatted, they had already arrived at the Research Institute.
Immediately, the two told Long Daoyi about this idea.
After all, Long Daoyi had been immersed in plant cultivation for many years and had a better understanding of plants.
However, Ling Yichen and Tian Yingying hid the matter of the Spirit Worm, only saying that they wanted to fuse plants with ordinary insects.
This idea immediately received praise from Long Daoyi, and he quickly joined in.
Ling Yichen watched the two of them discussing and researching so actively, smiled, and then turned to walk toward the cultivation room.
The old man's voice came from the side: "How is the fusion of that Intelligence Worm going?"
Ling Yichen looked in the direction of the voice and immediately saw the old man lying on a grandmaster chair, quietly smoking, his aura still withered.
Obviously, in order to cultivate that Intelligence Worm, his expenditure had been too great.
Seeing this, Ling Yichen could not help but show concern.
"Master, are you okay?"
The old man smiled, "It's fine, I'll be better after resting for a few days."
As he spoke, he suddenly took out an exquisite jade box from his Storage Ring and handed it to Ling Yichen.
Ling Yichen knew what it was without looking: seven-leaf lotus heart. He still had over a dozen boxes in his Storage Ring now.
Among them were the ones Lin Hao offered as tribute last night, and some he had bought from Chu Qi.
So he immediately refused: "Master, there's no need. You keep it for yourself, recover sooner; otherwise, if we encounter any danger, there will be no one to protect us!"
The old man was stunned and said angrily: "Who bullied you?"
Ling Yichen immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, no, I was just making an analogy. You are our backing. If you cannot return to your peak state, our safety is not guaranteed."
"Although Xu Tiansheng promised not to come and cause trouble again, no one can guarantee that there won't be a Xu Disheng or Xu Xuansheng coming to cause me trouble, right?"
After hearing this, although the old man knew that Ling Yichen was just making excuses to refuse his help, it served as a warning to him.
That's right, if others from the Six Great Families came to cause trouble and he could not handle it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As he spoke, the old man could not help but glance at Long Daoyi not far away, his pupils shrinking slightly.
"Fine, I will keep these seven-leaf lotus hearts. I will recover my strength as soon as possible, and I will give them to you after I recover!" the old man said seriously.
This time, Ling Yichen did not refuse.
Let the old man recover his strength first.
However, he had also seen the old man's glance just now, especially with the reinforcement of his divine sense; he clearly perceived that the old man was not worried about him just now, but about Long Daoyi.
This made him have a few more thoughts.
"Could it be... that Senior Brother has some enemies?"
Suddenly, he thought of Long Daoyi's energy center.
His brows knitted together abruptly, a bold conjecture emerged in his mind, and the baleful aura on his body suddenly intensified.
"If Senior Brother really has enemies, and it was those enemies who destroyed his energy center, then..."
Ling Yichen's gaze turned cold to the extreme, and he turned and walked toward the elevator.
The old man looked at Ling Yichen's back, slightly surprised.
"This kid, such great killing intent just now. Who provoked him?"
Regarding this, not only did he not feel it was bad, but on the contrary, he felt it was very good.
He just needed a disciple with great killing intent, because Long Daoyi had ended up in such a state precisely because he was too kind!
Thinking of Long Daoyi's encounter, his heart was also surging with killing intent, but he immediately suppressed it.
-
In the underground base, Ling Yichen chose a cultivation room, activated the array, entered a cultivation state, and began to condense the Star Vortex.
At the same time, at the Supernatural Management Association.
At this moment, Ye Qingzhu was undergoing the second evaluation by the Supernatural Management Association.
In a luxuriously decorated lounge, W and Ye Qingzhu were waiting for the results.
A staff member had just taken a blood sample from her for analysis and had also asked her to demonstrate her second Supernatural Ability.
Her second Supernatural Ability currently had only two manifestations: one was that pair of cyan-purple wings, and the other was that her body could generate powerful lightning power.
About half an hour later, the door was knocked on.
Immediately after, the door was pushed open, and a huge crowd of people suddenly entered the lounge.
Standing at the very front were eight men and women of different ages.
These eight people came to the front of Ye Qingzhu and W, and first bowed respectfully to W.
Because W was from the 26-Character Army, and the 26-Character Army was the personal guard of the City Lord of Sky City. To a certain extent, the 26-Character Army represented the face of Sky City when outside, so even the high-level leaders of Rainbow City had to show them respect when they saw members of the 26-Character Army.
W saw these eight people appear here all at once, and her expression changed slightly.
She hurriedly looked at Ye Qingzhu, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She knew that Ye Qingzhu's Second Awakening power was very strong, and she had expected that people from the Six Great Families would come to recruit her.
But she did not expect that not only would the Six Great Families come, but the military would also come.
Because among these eight people, there was surprisingly a high-ranking official wearing a military uniform. Looking at the badge on his shoulder, he was actually a regiment commander level, and a five-star regiment commander at that.
The military rank levels progressed in order: Group, Team, Battalion, Regiment, and Legion.
Ten people made a Group, ten Groups made a Team, ten Teams made a Battalion, ten Battalions made a Regiment, and ten Regiments made a Legion.
Each Group Leader, Team Leader, Battalion Commander, and Regiment Commander also had star ratings; one star was small, and five stars was large.
At this very moment, the fact that a five-star regiment commander could appear in this room was enough to show that the power of Ye Qingzhu's awakening this time was extraordinary.
At this moment, Ye Qingzhu was also startled by such a big formation. She instinctively leaned against W and looked at these people with some unease.
At this time, Liu Mei was seen walking out from behind the crowd and coming in front of W and Ye Qingzhu.
Her expression was also very solemn, especially the way she looked at Ye Qingzhu, which was full of... complexity.
"What are the test results?"
W asked first.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei handed over a document.
The moment she saw the document, W's expression changed.
Because this document was stamped with a mark—S!
Yes, this document was marked with an extremely eye-catching red S!
She looked at Liu Mei in astonishment, then looked back at Ye Qingzhu, and whispered: "No way, rated as S-class?"
Liu Mei nodded gently and said softly: "Yes, her comprehensive talent level is rated as the rare S-class, because her blood sample contains a strand of the extremely rare Immortal Bloodline."
Hiss!
Immortal blood?
W shouted it out directly, her tone sharp and full of disbelief.
The Immortal Bloodline, one in a billion.
W impatiently opened the document to check the relevant description, finally took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, only then looking at Ye Qingzhu.
At this moment, Ye Qingzhu also had a look of astonishment.
She had been taking theory classes during this period and had learned a lot of knowledge, so she naturally knew what the Immortal Bloodline meant.
So she was also extremely shocked.
"I... awakened the Immortal Bloodline? How is that possible?"
She tremblingly took the document and read it carefully once, twice, three times...
She read the document over and over again, her body trembling more and more as she did so. Her eyes went from shock to astonishment, from astonishment to fear, and finally turned into intense unease.
At this time, the five-star regiment commander among the eight people stepped forward and said in a deep, resonant voice: "Miss Ye Qingzhu, according to the highest regulations of the Human Realm, anyone who has awakened the Immortal Bloodline must choose one of the Eight Great Factions to join. You have three months to make your choice. After three months, if you have not yet made a choice, we, the Eight Great Factions, will draw lots to decide your destination."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's body trembled even more severely, with tears faintly welling up in her eyes.
At this moment, she did not know what to say.
Because she knew that whatever she said now would be useless.
Because the Human Realm indeed had such a regulation.
Once someone awakens the Immortal Bloodline, no matter who you are or what status or position you have, you must choose one of the Eight Great Factions to join, and then... inherit the bloodline.
