Not only the middle-aged man, but even the children present all changed color when they saw the five golden shining characters on the stone tablet, and a roar of astonishment broke out.
Although they were just children, they all knew that the Dou Di (Fighting Emperor) bloodline was ranked from Grade One to Grade Ten.
There had never been anyone with an Eleventh Grade bloodline because it was simply impossible.
The Grade Ten bloodline was known as the Divine Grade bloodline—only possessed by true Dou Di experts.
But this Eleventh Grade bloodline exceeded Grade Ten—did that mean it surpassed the Divine Grade?
Such a thing had never existed in the known history of the continent.
Hun Feng stared blankly at the five golden shining characters on the stone tablet, muttering, "No… impossible…"
Even Hun Yu and Hun Li beside him were shocked, looking as if they had seen ghosts.
Just moments ago, the stone tablet hadn't changed—no changes appeared during the first two attempts.
But now, on the third try, the stone tablet changed, revealing the words "Eleventh Grade Bloodline."
This made people seriously doubt—was the stone tablet broken?
An Eleventh Grade bloodline? No one had ever heard of it or seen it before.
Hun Feng regained his senses and respectfully asked the middle-aged man, "Elder, is the stone tablet broken?"
He sneered, "Eleventh Grade bloodline? Is that even possible?"
"Yeah! Elder, is the stone tablet broken?"
…
Hun Feng's question quickly gained support from many around. Everyone had only ever heard of the Ten Grades of bloodline, never an Eleventh.
The middle-aged man slowly came back to his senses from the shock caused by the five golden characters.
Looking at Hun Xiu's young, sunny face, he said, "Hun Xiu, please take your hand off."
He had never heard of an Eleventh Grade bloodline, let alone seen one.
So he couldn't be sure if the so-called Eleventh Grade bloodline truly existed.
Or maybe the stone tablet was really broken?
Was the Eleventh Grade bloodline real, or was the tablet malfunctioning?
They only needed Hun Xiu to remove his hand to find out.
"Alright."
Hun Xiu nodded, gradually removing his small hand from the stone tablet. Instantly, the towering beam of light disappeared.
The five golden shining characters on the tablet also faded away.
As his hand left the tablet, Hun Xiu felt a turbulent surge within his body.
"Super Divine Grade bloodline obtained. Dou Ling power has been credited. Accept?"
"Accept!"
Hun Xiu answered without hesitation.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
…
Powerful energy waves rippled through Hun Xiu's body, and his strength finally stabilized at the Dou Ling level.
"This…"
Hun Xiu clenched his fist, and red Dou Qi (Fighting Energy) shimmered on it. He could sense that he was truly powerful now.
A single punch seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"So this is the strength of a Dou Ling?"
…
The elder nearby, witnessing Hun Xiu's strength reaching Dou Ling level directly, trembled and gasped.
Those who activated the Dou Di bloodline could usually only reach the Dou Shi level as a starting point and then train toward higher realms.
He had never seen anyone begin directly at Dou Ling level.
He could only sigh in awe—this Eleventh Grade bloodline was truly terrifying.
…
Hun Feng and the other young members of the Hun Clan felt the powerful aura radiating from Hun Xiu and couldn't help but quietly sigh in amazement.
They wondered, "Is he really a waste? Or is he a genius? A peerless genius."
…
Far away,
Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame stood watching, their eyes fixed on the plaza where everything was unfolding. They naturally witnessed everything clearly.
Including how Hun Xiu failed to activate his bloodline twice before, but eventually activated the Eleventh Grade bloodline.
This surprised both Hun Tiandi and Void Swallowing Flame greatly.
Now Hun Xiu had activated the bloodline and directly attained Dou Ling strength, which was even more astonishing.
Void Swallowing Flame said, "Starting directly at Dou Ling? An Eleventh Grade bloodline? This has never happened in the ancient clans on the continent."
"Mm."
Hun Tiandi nodded. "Indeed. Hun Xiu is truly surprising."
"Whether it was secretly training before or now this Eleventh Grade bloodline, his starting point is Dou Ling. Truly a child capable of creating miracles."
Void Swallowing Flame looked toward Hun Xiu in the distance and said, "I wonder how far this little fellow will go."
Hun Tiandi smiled, "I have a feeling his future achievements will surpass both of us."
"Surpass us?"
Void Swallowing Flame was slightly stunned by this, then smiled ambiguously, "Tiandi, our strength is the pinnacle of the continent. To surpass us—does that mean becoming a Dou Di expert?"
Hun Tiandi replied, "Void, I mean that he will surpass even the achievements of Dou Di experts."
Void Swallowing Flame asked, "You have that much confidence in him?"
"Mm."
Hun Tiandi nodded slightly. "I have great confidence in Hun Xiu."
Then he changed the subject, "Void, don't you think it's time to decide on the position of the clan's Young Master?"
Void Swallowing Flame immediately understood.
Hun Tiandi intended to appoint Hun Xiu as Young Master.
He said, "Isn't it a bit too early to discuss this now? Hun Xiu and the others are only seven years old. The Young Master is usually determined by strength when they come of age."
"In the Dou Qi continent, Dou Qi rules all, and the strong dominate the weak. We have to wait until they become strong first."
"Mm."
Hun Tiandi nodded, "You're right. I was just a little impatient."
…
"Hun Xiu, Eleventh Grade bloodline, Dou Ling strength."
The middle-aged man gradually recovered and said loudly.
Today, he had finally broadened his horizons.
Looking at Hun Xiu was like watching another Hun Tiandi slowly rising.
The Hun Clan was on the rise.
The children on the plaza all knew Hun Xiu was strong now, but just how strong?
They didn't know.
But after the elder's words, they understood Hun Xiu had now reached Dou Ling level.
Thinking about how they had all looked down on a Dou Ling expert, they felt ashamed inside.
They had thought he was a waste without a Dou Di bloodline, but now it seemed he was an unparalleled genius.
After all, how could the clan leader's son be a waste?
If the clan leader's son was a waste, how could he possibly justify his divine-grade bloodline and powerful genes?
Hun Feng and the others looked particularly grim. They had been the loudest in mocking Hun Xiu earlier.
Now that Hun Xiu had shocked the entire plaza, they felt thoroughly slapped in the face—hard.
With such a blow, how could they look good?
After activating his bloodline, Hun Xiu left alone.
He didn't care about others' Dou Di bloodlines. Today was only about activating his own.
Now that his bloodline was activated, it was time for him to leave
