"Brother! You're amazing!"
Shen Qingyue's cold gaze flickered with a hint of excitement as she earnestly called out to her brother once more. This time, it came from the heart.
In the distance on the high platform, Chen Yuantu's mother, Zhou, watched the strange phenomenon above the Testing Platform, her eyes rolling back as if she might faint.
"My son! Shouldn't we have kicked that wretched Shen from the Shen Family and her two misbegotten children out of the Marquis' residence long ago?"
She trembled as she pointed at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, her voice sharp and filled with resentment, tinged with a hint of regret.
Chen Yuantu felt equally troubled. He gazed at the two dazzling children on the Testing Platform, his heart a tumult of emotions. These two exceptionally gifted kids were the ones he had cast out and severed ties with.
Yet, as the head of the family and the pillar of the Wuding Marquisate, he kept his emotions in check. Suppressing his displeasure, he noticed Xu Yan'er beside him wearing a slightly displeased expression and said lightly, "Mother, there's no need to panic. They are merely relying on their son's bloodline power to attract this phenomenon. Without the protection of our ancestors, they won't amount to much."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan'er's previously gloomy face brightened instantly. With a charming tone, she replied, "As you say, Marquis. Even if those two misbegotten children have innate talents, they are still gifts from you. The protection of our ancestors is what truly matters."
After saying this, she shot a provocative glance at Shen Qingyue and Chen Li.
Shen Qingyue was too focused to care about their reactions; she simply watched her younger brother Chen Li quietly.
Chen Li had surpassed her once again! Immersed in Bloodline Awakening, he sensed the reactions around him.
No, he couldn't draw so much attention!
With that thought in mind, he took a deep breath and silently activated his sealing technique. No one noticed the golden light flickering at his fingertips as an invisible force enveloped him entirely, sealing away the raging bloodline power.
Above the Testing Platform, the once dazzling dragon and tiger phantoms gradually faded away with Chen Li's actions until they completely vanished.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yuantu's previously gloomy mood lifted considerably. He cleared his throat and said to Xu Yan'er, "Indeed, while talent is important, without family heritage, it is ultimately difficult to achieve greatness."
Xu Yan'er covered her mouth and chuckled lightly in agreement, "What you say is absolutely correct, Marquis. I have learned much."
Zhou's heartache eased somewhat as she regained her composure and felt proud again: "The phenomenon has dissipated; it seems that child's bloodline isn't as formidable as we thought."
At that moment, the Three Great Royal Elders also stood up one after another, their sharp gazes fixed intently on Chen Li. Their eyes were piercing, as if they were looking down upon all living beings from a divine realm.
That gaze seemed to pierce through illusions, striking directly at the heart.
"Chen Li, quickly invoke the power of your bloodline for protection!"
One elder's voice boomed like thunder, resonating throughout the Testing Platform.
The reaction from Chen Li was indeed strange; even they could not grasp it fully. Thus, they hurried to complete all tests in order to make a final judgment.
Chen Li nodded, his six-year-old face showing no signs of panic, instead radiating a calmness that belied his age. He slowly raised his small hand, and with his delicate fingertips, he lightly tapped the void. Ancient tablets appeared out of thin air, slowly rotating around him.
Each of these tablets represented an ancestor of the Shen Family, engraved with their names and life details, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. The tablets surrounded Chen Li, forming a peculiar formation as an invisible force gradually spread out, enveloping him.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Chen Li, afraid to miss any detail. Even Chen Yuantu felt a twinge of nervousness. He had expelled Chen Li from the Wuding Marquisate and wondered if Chen Li would rise again with the support of those long-deceased ancestors from the Shen Family.
Chen Li sat quietly within the formation, time seeming to stand still. The faint light flickered on the surrounding tablets before fading into silence moments later.
No one knew how long had passed; the tablets still floated in the void, emitting only a soft glow without any further movement.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd couldn't help but laugh out loud. "This kid makes a lot of noise but has little substance; surely no ancestor is willing to protect him!"
That laughter was like a spark, instantly igniting the entire testing ground.
"I told you! That kid's earlier display of bloodline power was just luck; look at him now—it's all just show!"
Without ancestral protection, what use was bloodline power no matter how strong? He was still just a waste!
It was truly laughable; I thought he could turn things around, but it turns out he’s just a joke!
Various jeers and mockery echoed throughout the space, creating a buzzing cacophony. Zhou laughed so hard he nearly fell over, looking at Chen Li and scolding him: "You little brat! I said he wouldn't amount to anything! Turns out I was right!"
Xu Yan'er also covered her mouth with a light laugh, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt. "Marquis, it seems we don't need to worry about these two little pests; they can't stir up any trouble."
Though Chen Yuantu did not speak, the cold smirk on his lips said it all.
On the high platform, the faces of the Three Great Royal Elders turned somewhat grim.
What was happening? Did this kid really not have the protection of his ancestors? That shouldn't be the case; the Shen Family had been a prestigious lineage for thousands of years. How could it be that there was no one willing to protect him?
They decided to wait and see; perhaps it was just a matter of time.
The three elders whispered among themselves, their gazes fixed intently on Chen Li, hoping to glean some clues. However, Chen Li remained unresponsive, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Shen Qingyue stood among the crowd, watching as everyone mocked Chen Li. A hint of worry appeared on her cool face. Although she believed in Chen Li's strength, she couldn't help but feel anxious at this moment.
Chen Li, what are you doing?
Shen Qingyue felt a surge of urgency in her heart, but she knew there was little she could do to help.
At that moment, the previously quiet ancestral tablet suddenly began to tremble violently, as if stimulated by something.
Then, an even more powerful force surged from the tablet, wildly pouring into Chen Li's body.
Chen Li's body started to shake violently, his complexion turning pale as beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.
What was happening?
Could it be that the ancestors of the Shen Family were manifesting? This power was incredible!
The sudden change silenced the once-boisterous Training Ground; everyone stared in shock and confusion at this scene.
Zhou and Xu Yan'er froze, their smiles vanishing as they looked at Chen Li in disbelief, their eyes filled with fear and unease.
Chen Yuantu's expression darkened significantly; he stared intently at Chen Li, a sense of foreboding rising within him.
On the high platform, the Three Great Royal Elders also stood up, their eyes filled with shock and anticipation.
Just when everyone thought the ancestors were about to descend, Chen Li's aura suddenly stagnated, and all phenomena vanished as if nothing had ever happened.
Pfft!
Chen Li suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper, his body swaying unsteadily.
