5 Everyone Is Shocked

.....

Give me a nice 5 star review.

....

Not only was the middle-aged man taken aback, but the children present had their eyes widened in astonishment, mouths agape upon seeing the three shining golden characters on the stone tablet, sparking an uproar.

Although they were just children, they knew that Dou Di's bloodlines were divided into ranks, from rank one to rank ten, with rank ten being the divine-grade bloodline. The concept of an eleventh-rank bloodline was unheard of. This transcended even the god-grade bloodline, something that simply didn't exist in the known history of the mainland.

Hun Feng stared blankly at the five gleaming golden characters on the stele and said, "No, impossible."

Even Hun Yu, Hun Li, and the others who had been next to Hunfeng were shocked, as if they had seen something supernatural.

The stele had not changed the first time, nor had it changed the second time. Now, on the third attempt, the stele had transformed, and it displayed "Eleventh Grade Bloodline." This left everyone deeply puzzled. Could the stele be malfunctioning?

An eleventh-grade bloodline had never been heard of or seen before. People began to wonder if the stele was broken. Did eleventh-grade bloodlines exist, or was there an issue with the stele?

Hunfeng, gaining support from others, quickly questioned, "Elder, is the stone tablet broken? An eleventh-rank bloodline—can such a thing even exist?"

The middle-aged man had also recovered from his shock, and he gazed at Hunxiu's sunny face full of curiosity. He said, "Hunxiu, remove your hands!"

He had never heard of an eleventh-grade bloodline, and he was uncertain if it truly existed. Maybe the stele was malfunctioning or had an error. Perhaps eleventh-rank bloodlines didn't exist at all. The truth would become clear once Hunxiu removed his hand.

Hunxiu nodded and gradually withdrew his little hand from the stele. The brilliant beam of light immediately vanished, leaving the air heavy with tension and anticipation. The three gleaming golden characters on the stele also dissipated.

The moment his hand left the stele, Hunxiu's heart raced, and a rush of energy surged through his veins, setting his skin tingling with newfound power. He was presented with a choice: "Obtain the blood of the Super Divine Grade. Your Dou Ling level of cultivation is granted. Will you accept it?"

Hunxiu felt as if he could shatter the world with a single punch. He didn't hesitate and responded with a resounding "receive."

Boom. Boom.

Wave after wave of powerful aura flowed through Hunxiu's body, eventually stabilizing at the Dou Ling level.

Hunxiu clenched his fists tightly, and red Dou Qi radiated from his hands. He could sense his newfound strength; it was like a volcano ready to erupt, his power burning within him.

"This is the power of Dou Ling," Hunxiu thought with wonder.

The elder standing nearby observed Hunxiu's newfound strength, and his astonishment was evident. Those who activated a tenth-grade bloodline usually started at the Dou Shi level, and Dou Shi was just the beginning of their journey toward a higher realm. Dou Ling was the starting point, and he had never witnessed it before. It was only conceivable that an eleventh-grade bloodline held terrifying power.

Hunfeng and the younger generation of the Hun clan, sensing the aura emanating from Hunxiu, couldn't help but be astonished. They wondered, "Is this person still considered a 'waste'? Or is he a peerless genius?"

Far away, Hun Tian Di and Nihility Devouring Flame gazed into the distance, witnessing everything happening on the square. They had observed Hunxiu's earlier failure to activate his bloodline and were now surprised by his success, which had granted him the power of Dou Ling. This was an even greater surprise.

Nihility Devouring Flame remarked, "The starting point is Dou Ling? An eleventh-grade bloodline... it seems this has never occurred among the ancient clans on the mainland."

Hun Tian Di agreed: "Yes, Xiu'er is truly remarkable. Whether through his earlier secretive cultivation or the eleventh-rank bloodline he has now activated, it all starts at the Dou Ling level. He is a young individual capable of creating miracles."

Nihility Devouring Flame looked at Hunxiu in the distance and pondered, "I wonder how far this young man will go."

Hun Tian Di smiled confidently and said, "I have a feeling that his future accomplishments will surpass both of us."

"Beyond us?" Nihility Devouring Flame questioned. "Emperor, our strength is at the peak on the mainland. Is he meant to surpass us, the strongest Dou Di?"

Hun Tian Di clarified, "Nihility, I meant that he will surpass the achievements of the most powerful Dou Di in the future."

Nihility Devouring Flame queried, "Are you that confident in him?"

Hun Tian Di replied with certainty, "Yes, I have tremendous confidence in Xiu'er."

Returning to the topic at hand, Hun Tian Di said, "Nihility, do you think it's time to decide on the position of the Hun clan's young master?"

Nihility Devouring Flame understood that Hun Tian Di intended to appoint Hunxiu as the young master, but he believed it was too early to discuss this. "Hunxiu and the others are only seven years old. The title of young master is typically determined by strength when they've grown up. In the Douqi Continent, power is what matters most, and the strong prey on the weak. We must wait for him to become stronger."

Hun Tian Di agreed, saying, "You are right; I was getting ahead of myself."

After the exchange between Hun Tian Di and Nihility Devouring Flame:

"Hunxiu, eleventh-grade bloodline, Dou Ling strength!" the middle-aged man announced with newfound clarity.

Today, he had learned much. Gazing at Hunxiu, he felt as if he were witnessing the rise of another Huntian Di. The future of the Hun clan seemed bright.

The children on the square now understood that Hunxiu possessed remarkable strength, even if they weren't sure how powerful he had become. They had underestimated him, thinking he was a waste without Dou Di's blood. But now they believed he might be a peerless genius. After all, how could the son of the patriarch be a mere waste?

Hunfeng and the others had become embarrassed. They had laughed at Hunxiu the most when he had seemingly failed earlier. Now that Hunxiu had amazed everyone, they felt as though they had been slapped in the face.

Having successfully activated his bloodline, Hunxiu now stood alone. He didn't care about the bloodlines activated by others; he had only come here today to activate his bloodline. With the bloodline now awakened, it was time for him to leave, his future filled with boundless potential and possibilities.
