Chapter 2193: Testing Bloodline

"How is this possible?"

Feng Yuntian was speechless.

Even he could not defeat Feng Xu and the others; within the clan, aside from the Divine King, no one could contend with them. A formation formed by such nine experts would not be easy even for a Divine King to break...

How long had it been?

In less than five minutes, the nine were thoroughly beaten by this Feng Jiuge, like drenched chickens...

Was there something wrong?

Feng Danqing was also dumbfounded.

She had thought Feng Jiuge would surely be beaten badly this time, but never expected the outcome to reverse. She looked again at the arena and saw the young man, full of excitement, strutting arrogantly.

"All of you, squat down, hold your heads, and say 'we lost'..."

"We lost..."

Feng Xu, Feng Jiang, and the others trembled, their faces so swollen they were unrecognizable, making it hard to tell who was who.

"That's more like it!"

Seeing them admit defeat, Feng Jiuge finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had thought he would surely lose, but unexpectedly, using the methods the teacher had explained, he immediately broke through effortlessly. The Nine Phoenix Formation formed by the nine experts could not stop him at all!

It was as if the teacher had thoroughly investigated how the formation operated, how the people inside would ambush and attack, and where the flaws and loopholes were!

Others knew nothing about him, but he knew everything about them... naturally, he defeated them in one blow, and even the nine combined could not withstand it.

"Teacher..."

Feng Jiuge returned to Zhang Xuan's side, looking again at this teacher who was even younger than him, filled with utmost admiration.

His previous hesitation had now turned into worship and reverence.

"Assessment passed through the Nine Phoenix Formation... Congratulations, Jiuge, on returning to the clan!"

Before Zhang Xuan could speak, a voice of praise rang out, and then Grand Elder Feng Danqing, Second Elder Feng Yuntian, and others walked over.

Although they did not understand what earth-shattering changes had occurred in Feng Jiuge, the fact was that he had successfully passed the assessment and returned to the family.

"Grand Elder, Second Elder..." Feng Jiuge's expression turned serious, and he quickly clasped his fists.

The two elders nodded in response, and Feng Danqing turned to look at Zhang Xuan: "Are you a clansman lost outside?"

"I am... Feng Xuan!" Zhang Xuan clasped his fists.

"Good, test your bloodline together with Jiuge! I don't require it to be high; if you reach the level of an outer disciple, I will grant you the treatment of a core disciple!"

Feng Danqing said.

According to reports, the changes in Feng Jiuge were all related to this person. Without a doubt, his strength must be no less than the former's. Such talent, as long as he possessed the clan's bloodline, was qualified to receive the maximum cultivation.

Having said that, the Grand Elder flipped his hand and took out a round stone.

"This is called a Fengming Stone. It tests bloodline more accurately than a blood pool!" Seeing their confusion, Feng Danqing explained: "Just drop a drop of blood on it. If it contains the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix clan, a Fire Phoenix will appear! The clearer the Fire Phoenix, the stronger the bloodline power!"

"Yes!" Feng Jiuge took the stone.

During the previous test, his clan bloodline had disappeared, leading to his expulsion. Now testing again, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Taking a deep breath, he cut his fingertip, and a drop of blood fell onto the Fengming Stone.

Hum!

A cry of a Fire Phoenix rang out, and then on the round stone, a clear Fire Phoenix suddenly appeared, wandering incessantly, flames blazing as if about to leap out at any moment!

"Fire Phoenix coalesces, flames gather ready to emerge... Bloodline purity has reached level eight. Not only has the bloodline recovered, but it has even improved..."

Feng Danqing's eyes were full of disbelief.

The bloodline of the Fire Phoenix clan is divided into ten levels. After years of inheritance, it has gradually weakened. Normally, exceeding level three is considered core.

Most cannot even reach level one.

Many clansmen, due to frequent intermarriage with humans, cannot transform into a Fire Phoenix body.

Feng Jiuge had been tested shortly after birth, with a bloodline purity of level six, ranking high in the clan. Unexpectedly, this test broke that limit, reaching an astonishing level eight.

With such purity of bloodline, achieving Divine King was already a certainty.

"This..." Feng Jiuge's face also twitched, full of disbelief.

Bloodline restored and upgraded...

He looked at his teacher again, the worship in his eyes almost spilling out.

This situation must be related to him. Being able to change bloodline showed that the teacher's abilities had reached a realm of unfathomable mystery.

"Your turn..." After Feng Jiuge finished testing, Feng Danqing looked over.

He was very curious about this rogue cultivator, Feng Xuan.

Without the clan's resources and training, relying solely on himself, he had cultivated to the peak of Upper Grade Heavenly God at such a young age. Could his bloodline be even purer than Feng Jiuge's?

Taking the round stone casually, Zhang Xuan did not rush to cut his finger but instead moved his mind.

Hum!

The disguise talisman given by Luo Ruoxin activated, and the bloodline in his body became somewhat similar to Feng Jiuge's, transforming into that of the Fire Phoenix clan.

After doing this, he took out the Divine King Sword and gently cut his fingertip.

The Divine King Sword was disguised to look like an ordinary long sword; if not used, even a Divine King would find it hard to detect anything unusual.

The blood dripped onto it.

The round stone showed no change, and no Fire Phoenix appeared, as if it had no effect.

"Don't you have our clan's bloodline?"

Feng Danqing frowned.

Feng Yuntian was also puzzled.

Normally, without bloodline, one would not come so openly to claim kinship.

Zhang Xuan was also stunned. Could it be... the Fire Phoenix clan's bloodline was too advanced, and the disguise talisman given by Luo Ruoxin could not imitate it?

"Maybe... I'll drop another drop?"

His purpose in coming this time was to impersonate a Fire Phoenix clan member and compete for the名额 to enter the Spirit God Palace. If he couldn't get in, how would he find Luo Ruoxin?

"Bloodline testing is only once..." Feng Danqing was about to speak when the round stone in his palm suddenly flickered lightly, and a golden phoenix appeared abruptly.

It had no flames, nor did it soar; it swam somewhat tremblingly and weakly.

"Phoenix soars hastily, strength insufficient... It's level three bloodline! Barely enters the core..."

Feng Danqing breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Although it wasn't as terrifying as imagined, level three bloodline was still quite good, enough to become a core disciple. After all, he himself was only level four bloodline!

"Congratulations, Feng Xuan, on returning to the clan. From today, you will be a core disciple of our Fire Phoenix clan! Enjoy the treatment of core disciples..."

Feng Yuntian handed over a token, saying: "This is a token representing your identity. With this, you can receive offerings and secret manuals from the clan every month..."

"Thank you!" Zhang Xuan quickly nodded.

Although it wasn't as high as the bloodline level when he had disguised as Luo Tianya, for him, keeping a low profile was the way. Being able to infiltrate the Fire Phoenix clan was enough.

The rest didn't matter.

Whoosh!

Unnoticed by anyone, the wandering Fire Phoenix turned to the underside of the round stone, "plopped" down from the air, its legs weak, kneeling on the ground, as if it had lost all strength in that short distance.

At the same moment, the Fire Phoenix clan's ancestor, the Feather-Sealed Divine King, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes.
