Chapter 6: Destined to Become a Dou Emperor

The activation of the bloodlines was completed.

Some were joyful, while others were worried.

Within the Soul Clan, it was rare to see seventh or eighth-grade bloodlines; most were fifth or sixth grade. There were also two tenth-grade, or divine-grade, bloodlines.

Among the current young generation, there were two individuals with divine-grade bloodlines: Hun Feng and Hun Yu.

These two were among the popular candidates for the position of the young clan leader.

After all, the young clan leader of the Soul Clan had to be a powerful young individual. Possessors of divine-grade bloodlines were naturally among the top candidates.

However, within the current young generation, an extraordinary individual had emerged.

This was another son of the clan leader, Hun Tiandi: a solitary and low-profile person who dedicated himself to cultivation.

Hun Xiu.

From a young age, he knew the importance of diligent cultivation and never wasted words on meaningless chatter.

A reclusive character.

Previously, everyone assumed that this solitary individual was a waste because he didn't fit in.

After all, the young generation of the Soul Clan were all geniuses.

Excellence attracts excellence.

Only waste would be ostracized.

Thus, Hun Xiu's reclusiveness from a young age had earned him the label of a waste in the eyes of his peers.

But today, during the important ceremony of bloodline activation, these self-proclaimed geniuses were thoroughly humiliated.

Hun Xiu, who they thought was a waste, had not only activated his bloodline but also stunned everyone, making these so-called geniuses feel ashamed.

They had always mocked Hun Xiu as a waste.

Today, they realized who the real waste was.

Not only was Hun Xiu not a waste, but he was also a genius—a terrifying genius who made the young generation of the Soul Clan feel ashamed.

The reason?

Hun Xiu had activated a supreme bloodline—an eleventh-grade bloodline.

It must be noted that possessing a divine-grade bloodline already meant having the potential to become a God.

What about a supreme-grade bloodline? Wouldn't that mean he was destined to become a Dou God?

Seeing this person, whom everyone thought was a waste, possessing the potential to become an emperor, made those who had mocked him wish they could find a hole to hide in.

Fortunately, the embarrassment didn't last long.

After activating his bloodline, Hun Xiu left the plaza.

He left alone.

Hun Xiu's departure didn't interrupt the bloodline activation ceremony, which continued without another monstrous talent like Hun Xiu appearing.

Most bloodlines activated were fifth or sixth-grade.

If these fifth or sixth-grade bloodlines were in other clans, they would be considered exceptional talents.

Especially in ancient clans like the Stone and Spirit clans, where Dou God bloodlines were scarce, they would be nurtured with the full support of the clan.

But in the Soul Clan, fifth or sixth-grade bloodlines were not that impressive.

...

Hun Xiu arrived at the back mountain.

"Hoo..."

Hun Xiu took a deep breath and then exhaled.

Seven years.

It had been seven years since he came to this Dou Qi Continent.

For seven years, he had lived cautiously, fearing an untimely death.

Today, he finally had the strength to become one of the strong.

Dou Spirit.

Thinking of his strength, Hun Xiu clenched his fist, feeling a surge of power that made him excited.

Today, not only had he activated his bloodline, giving him the capital to become strong, but he also received a system.

With the system in hand, the world was his.

Hun Xiu, with clenched fists, approached a large tree. This tree was as thick as a grown man, lush and thriving.

Such trees were common in the back mountain, as the Dou Qi in the Soul Realm was incredibly dense.

Much denser than the outside world.

Trees here would grow into towering giants within a few years, a benefit of the environment.

Bang!

Without hesitation, Hun Xiu punched the tree, causing it to fall instantly, raising a cloud of dust.

Hun Xiu looked at the fallen tree and his unharmed fist, feeling exhilarated, "So this is the power of a Dou Spirit? Truly terrifying."

"As my son, are you proud of merely felling a tree with Dou Spirit's power?"

While Hun Xiu was marveling at the power of a Dou Spirit, Hun Tiandi arrived.

"Father."

Seeing the newcomer, Hun Xiu immediately knelt, showing great respect.

"Mm."

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, looking at Hun Xiu with satisfaction, and said calmly, "Xiu'er, stand up."

"Thank you, Father."

Hun Xiu stood up, keeping his head low, not daring to look at his father.

Hun Xiu had only seen his father at birth and occasionally from a distance.

This was one of the strongest beings on this continent, arguably invincible.

On this Dou Qi Continent, without Dou God, there were fewer than five Nine-Star Dou Saints.

The only one who could rival his father was the clan leader of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yuan.

Another man standing at the peak of the continent.

Hun Tiandi frowned slightly at Hun Xiu's lowered head, "Xiu'er, raise your head and look at me."

How could the son of Hun Tiandi bow his head?

"I don't dare."

Hun Xiu's heart skipped a beat, sensing anger in Hun Tiandi's words.

"Don't dare?"

Hun Tiandi frowned and said sternly, "I am your father. As my son, how can you lower your head?"

His son must be a dragon among men. Bowing his head?

Absolutely not.

"Yes."

Hun Xiu, hearing Hun Tiandi's words, immediately raised his head and looked at him, his young face full of determination.

"Good. Now this is my son."

Hun Tiandi laughed heartily, seeing Hun Xiu looking at him.

Among the young generation, even his other son, Hun Feng, didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Hun Xiu.

His son. He was very satisfied, seeing a lot of himself in Hun Xiu.

The Soul Clan had a promising future.

Hun Tiandi: "Xiu'er, you are my son. At no time, in front of anyone, should you lower your head. Your status does not allow it. Do you understand?"

Hun Xiu nodded, "I understand."

"Good."

Satisfied with his son, Hun Tiandi nodded, "Xiu'er, do you know what it means to activate a supreme bloodline?"

Hun Xiu respectfully replied, "I don't know."

Hun Tiandi: "Since you don't know, I'll tell you. Activating a supreme bloodline means that as long as you don't die, you are destined to become a Dou God."
