"Ninth-grade bloodline grants a Tian-grade clan mark. Eighth-grade bloodline grants an Di-grade clan mark. Fifth, sixth, and seventh grade bloodlines grant lower,middle and upper Xuan-grade clan marks, respectively.
As for fifth-grade bloodlines, they uniformly receive a Huang-grade clan mark. And a divine-grade bloodline? Naturally, it grants a Shen-grade clan mark.
According to the ancient clans' bloodline grading system, anyone who reaches a ninth-grade bloodline has the potential to ascend to the Dou Sheng level.
As for the divine-grade bloodline, its potential might even reach the pinnacle of Dou Sheng. Of course, that would still be extremely challenging. A divine-grade bloodline hasn't appeared for countless years.
But now, within the Lei Clan, perhaps one person can achieve it—that person is you, Mo Yu."
In front of him, Mang Tianchi turned his head and chuckled as he gazed at Mo Yu.
Hearing this, Mo Yu simply smiled faintly. He knew he possessed the Heavenly Thunder Body, but whether he could attain the divine-grade bloodline was uncertain even to him.
"Next, Lei Xiu!"
As Mo Yu and the others conversed, a booming voice echoed through the field. Lei Xiu immediately stood up, his face full of excitement, and rushed forward eagerly.
Following Mu Mang's earlier process, the examination proceeded once more. However, the star disk revealed only six thunder marks.
"Lei Xiu, Yellow Thunder Captain of the Black Demon Army, Five-Star Dou Zun, sixth-grade bloodline level, grants a middle Xuan-Grade clan mark!"
Seeing Lei Xiu, even with his Five-Star Dou Zun strength, receiving only a Xuan-Grade clan mark, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel the immense difficulty in crossing these bloodline thresholds.
In this matter, strength wasn't the main determining factor. The truly decisive element was the bloodline level.
"Next."
After Mu Mang and Lei Xiu, several other promising young elites of the Lei Clan stepped forward. Yet none of their bloodline levels exceeded sixth-grade, further proving the difficulty of elevating the clan's bloodline level.
"Mu Xiao, Silver Thunder Captain of the Black Demon Army, Six-Star Dou Zun, seventh-grade bloodline power, grants an upper Xuan-Grade clan mark!"
As the tedious process continued, Mo Yu's patience began to wane. But just as his mind started to drift, the announcement of Mu Xiao's name caught his attention.
"Mu Xiao?"
Hearing this name, Mo Yu's heart stirred. From the surname, it was likely someone from the Mu lineage.
"That Mu Xiao is Mu Mang's elder brother, but his talent far surpasses the latter's. If you encounter him, be cautious," Mang Ting warned in a low voice.
Mo Yu nodded calmly, lifting his gaze to the field. A peculiar change was occurring.
Under the shifting heavens and earth, Mo Yu's eyes locked onto a violent figure ahead.
At that moment, one of the Lei Clan's Four Generals, General Lei Hu, silently stood amidst the crowd's focused attention. He began walking step by step toward the center.
"It's his turn."
Sensing the environment growing oppressive and charged with violence, Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. He was intensely curious about this formidable opponent's potential. What level could he reach?
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Lei Yin strode into the field with a cold and indifferent expression. He bowed respectfully to the three elders but, unlike Mu Mang and Mu Xiao, did not kneel on one knee. Instead, he stood tall like an indomitable, ferocious tiger.
The three elders showed no displeasure at his actions. Lei Yin, though not as senior, held significant status and formidable strength within the Lei Clan. His refusal to kneel was understandable.
Exchanging glances, one elder waved his sleeve, and a star disk, about a meter in size, floated before Lei Yin, emitting specks of radiant light.
"It's your turn, Lei Yin."
Hearing this, Lei Yin nodded impassively. Under the gaze of countless eyes, he extended his hand and lightly touched the star disk.
At first, silence reigned. Moments later, the star disk trembled, and brilliant beams of light shot out as thunder marks gradually appeared on its surface.
"One, two, three... Eight marks!"
The sight of the eight thunder marks caused an uproar. Even some elders nodded approvingly, clearly impressed with the result.
"An eighth-grade bloodline level. As expected of one of the Four Generals."
"It's said that when Young Master Lei Dong was tested at a young age, he barely achieved eight marks. Lei Yin is nearly on par with him now."
"Yes, Lei Dong was one of our clan's rare ninth-grade bloodlines. For Lei Yin to rival his youthful achievement is remarkable."
"I've also heard rumors that our Lei Clan might produce a divine-grade bloodline holder this time…"
"You mean the Black Thunder Captain raised outside the clan? Who knows if that rumor is true. Hopefully, we'll witness a miracle soon."
The plaza buzzed with hushed discussions, spreading like wildfire.
"Lei Yin truly possesses the power of an eighth-grade bloodline. Even Young Master Lei Dong wasn't much better back then," Mang Ting sighed, gazing at Lei Yin in the field.
Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged. Compared to Lei Yin, the so-called Lei Clan young geniuses like Mu Mang, Geng Xiong, and Mu Xiao seemed insignificant. Lei Yin's reputation was clearly well-deserved.
As for Lei Dong, if Mo Yu remembered correctly, he was the elder brother of Lei Fei'er, his unseen future brother-in-law and son of Lei Ying.
The three elders, momentarily stunned by the eight thunder marks, quickly composed themselves. A faint smile appeared on their solemn faces.
"Lei Yin, one of the Four Generals of the Black Demon Army, Eight-Star Dou Zun, eighth-grade bloodline power, grants an Di-Grade clan mark!"
As the announcement rang out, the elder wielded a purple-gold thunder brush, which burst with dazzling light. Concentrated energy gathered at the brush's tip, and with a swift stroke, a profound lightning rune appeared on Lei Yin's forehead.
"Phew!"
Crafting the Di-Grade clan mark seemed to drain a significant amount of dou energy. By the time the final stroke was completed, the elder's forehead glistened with sweat. Taking a deep breath, he slowly withdrew the brush, its brilliance dimming gradually.
As the elder stepped back, a mysterious and intricate Di-Grade clan mark took form on Lei Yin's forehead.
With the bloodline test complete, Lei Yin calmly stepped off the platform. But just as he was about to sit, Mo Yu faintly sensed a chilling glare directed at him. Turning his eyes, he saw it was Lei Yin.
"Oh? If your confidence lies solely in your eighth-grade bloodline, I'm afraid that's not impressive enough," Mo Yu smirked coldly, thinking to himself.
The bloodline testing continued on the field. However, since Lei Yin's turn, not only had no other eighth-grade bloodlines appeared, but even seventh-grade ones were exceedingly rare.
Just as Mo Yu began to grow bored and drowsy, a voice suddenly pulled him back to reality.
"Next, Mo Yu, the Black Thunder Captain!"
Hearing his name, Mo Yu's spirits lifted. At the same time, many gazes shifted toward him.
Those seated in the VIP area were either high-ranking members of the Lei Clan or distinguished guests. Naturally, they were well-informed about Mo Yu.
Rumor had it that Mo Yu, favored by the Lei Clan's patriarch and likely possessing a divine-grade bloodline, was met with a mix of curiosity and complicated feelings.
Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, their delicate faces taut with tension, were also intently watching Mo Yu. Regardless of whether he had a divine-grade bloodline, it wouldn't change his importance in their hearts, but the solemnity of the occasion still pressed down on them.
"Black Thunder Captain, it's your turn." Mang Ting reminded Mo Yu with a serious expression.
There was speculation that both the Gu and Hun Clans had members with divine-grade bloodlines. The Lei Clan's hope for such a bloodline rested solely on Mo Yu.
"Hmm."
Mo Yu nodded indifferently and stepped forward to the testing platform.
Seeing the young and mysterious Mo Yu, the three elders of the Lei Clan exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting deep thought. Although the patriarch had high hopes for this genius raised outside the clan, could his bloodline concentration truly be as extraordinary as claimed?
Ignoring their scrutiny, Mo Yu stepped forward. With their approval, he gently placed his hand on the star disk and closed his silver eyes.
As his eyes closed, faint light began to radiate from his hand, illuminating the star disk. Slowly, one by one, thunder marks emerged.
All eyes were fixated on the star disk. With each pattern's appearance, hearts raced uncontrollably.
One... two... five... seven... eight...
As the number of thunder marks increased, the breathing of the crowd grew heavier. Some, with keen perception, noticed subtle fluctuations in the surrounding space.
Faintly, hidden yet powerful auras began to emerge. Even those previously absent from view were now paying close attention to the proceedings.
Under countless gazes, after the eighth thunder mark appeared, another flash of intense light gathered on the star disk, and a ninth pattern slowly formed amidst gasps.
"Nine thunder marks! Ninth-grade bloodline!"
Seeing the nine brilliant patterns, every Lei Clan member inhaled sharply. Even Mang Tianchi and the three elders clenched their fists tightly, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
A ninth-grade bloodline signified a clan member with potential to ascend to the Dou Sheng level! Though only potential, given enough time, this could lead to the emergence of a new Dou Sheng.
"Only a ninth-grade bloodline? This kid's bloodline strength likely surpasses that," a towering, imposing man muttered from atop a distant ancient tree.
This man was Lei Ying, the Lei Clan's patriarch.
Under normal circumstances, the appearance of a ninth-grade bloodline would have thrilled him. Yet, for someone he believed to possess a divine-grade bloodline, this outcome was disappointing.
"Hmph, no divine-grade bloodline? Looks like Father was wrong. I definitely won't marry him," a cold, haughty woman in black stockings sneered behind Lei Ying.
"Ninth-grade is already impressive, but from the look on his face... the test might not be over yet," remarked a silver-robed man beside Lei Fei'er, his tone thoughtful.
Just as his words fell, the light from the ninth thunder mark on the star disk intensified under the elders' ecstatic gazes.
"Ninth-grade pinnacle," the three elders murmured, their eyes fixed on the dazzling thunder mark. Even their well-tempered hearts pounded with excitement.
Under countless watchful eyes, Mo Yu suddenly furrowed his brows. In the next instant, his blood surged, and silver light spots rapidly gathered along his veins to his hand touching the star disk.
"Zzt!"
As the silver glow grew denser, Mo Yu's entire arm seemed to be forged of pure lightning.
When the radiance reached its peak, the star disk trembled violently, fine cracks appearing and spreading rapidly.
"Buzz!"
Amidst the cracks, a faint black-silver lightning light emerged from the darkness beyond the ninth thunder mark.
The moment the black-silver lightning appeared, the entire area fell silent. Even the hidden auras in the sky paused. A subtle but palpable sense of awe spread across the heavens.
The black-silver light expanded rapidly, becoming thumb-sized within moments.
Then, it began to shift, eventually forming a dim, black-silver thunder mark.
"Boom!"
As the tenth black-silver thunder mark appeared, the star disk shattered with a bang, and a black-silver lightning pillar shot skyward.
A powerful, oppressive force emanated from the pillar. Under its weight, most people present found their Dou Qi halted, even their souls instinctively trembling in reverence.
This was the awe of a subordinate toward a superior!
"Ten thunder mark... divine-grade bloodline!"
