235: Chapter 235: Martial Meridian Stone, Bloodline Awakening 235: Chapter 235: Martial Meridian Stone, Bloodline Awakening And Yan Shun followed Lan Zhuang River’s finger to look, and immediately his eyes widened, “Ning Jingjing, are you joking?

What is this person?

Why would you bring him here?

He’s almost older than me, isn’t he?”

Generally speaking, the recruits from the Small Domains are all under twenty years old.

And among the people Ning Jingjing had recruited, there was actually a middle-aged man like Su Zhenglong, which was simply an act of defiance against discipline.

Following Yan Shun’s words, everyone in the hall also turned their gaze toward Su Zhenglong.

“Pfft…”

Then, including those from the Eagle Small Domain, everyone could not help but laugh out loud.

It was just too ridiculous.

He was so old, how could he still be selected?

The Canglong Domain must be really short on people.

And Su Zhenglong himself turned into a nervous wreck.

Although he was once the pride of Yunye City.

But Yunye City was nothing more than an insubstantial place within the Canglong Domain, let alone the formidable Long Night Empire.

Being watched by so many people, Su Zhenglong’s legs almost gave out in tremors.

“Dad, since General Ning brought you here, there must be a good reason for it, and she must have full confidence in you making a spectacular debut.

Don’t worry,” Sikong Jing said, stepping to the side to shield his father from all the stares while quietly offering words of comfort.

Compared to Su Zhenglong, Sikong Jing seemed relaxed and nonchalant, as no situation could perturb him.

Ning Jingjing also maintained a poker face, explaining, “Commander Yan, I brought him here for a reason.

Just wait and you’ll see.

I assure you that you will be quite surprised.”

Yan Shun furrowed his brows but didn’t pursue the matter further, “Fine, then let’s begin.”

“I want to see just how this old geezer can surprise me,” he said, signaling with a light wave of his hand.

Two Black-armored Soldiers brought over a pillar-like object, reminiscent of Elder Wei’s earlier tool for testing Martial Roots, though much larger.

It was three meters tall, with a diameter of one meter, and Elder Wei quickly began explaining to the people of Canglong Domain.

“This pillar is called the Martial Meridian Stone.

Above the Martial Root, there are Martial Veins, which are for testing the Martial Arts Bloodline.”

“The Martial Meridian Stone can determine whether you possess a strong Martial Arts Bloodline.”

“As long as one is a Bloodline Awakener, they can ignore the grade of their Martial Root and become a true Martial Arts Genius,” he stated.

The crowd had also heard Elder Wei mention Martial Veins on the Divine Spaceship.

Everyone knew that the Martial Root was just relative to ordinary folks; true Martial Arts Geniuses would have a Martial Arts Bloodline.

This was an ancient inheritance, but only those with at least a Fourth Grade Martial Root might awaken a bloodline.

Meaning, if a person had only a Third Grade Martial Root, then even if a Martial Arts Bloodline lay hidden within them, it could not be awakened.

That’s why Ning Jingjing only recruited those with a Fourth Grade Martial Root or higher.

“But this Martial Meridian Stone is not just for testing veins; it serves another function such as the test of Martial Arts Will,” Elder Wei continued to explain.

“You’ll find out soon.”

Upon hearing this, everyone from the Canglong Domain grew tense.

And as Elder Wei finished speaking, Yan Shun also began to explain, “There are two prerequisites to joining the Black Burning Army.

The first is Bloodline Awakening, and the second is Martial Arts Will.”

At this point, his gaze swept across the whole audience.

“Talent is a prerequisite for the Long Night Black Burning Army, but we also do not accept those with weak wills, unless they are Bloodline Awakened,” he stated.

With that, Yan Shun gave the Martial Meridian Stone a firm pat, after which a terrifying oppressive force instantly bore down on everyone present, both from the Eagle and Canglong Domains, causing their faces to dramatically change!

Thump…

Suddenly, someone fell flat on the ground, their face ashen.

“Hold it together, everyone!” barked Elder Wei to the crowd.

“Anyone who falls will be eliminated.”

Heeding his words, the group clenched their teeth and persevered desperately.

But still, many people had collapsed; Yan Ruyu was already lying on the ground, shivering uncontrollably, devoid of any trace of Martial Arts Will.

As for Sikong Jing, his face remained calm, and he even had the leisure to hold Su Zhenglong’s hand.

The terrifying pressure that faced them was much too strong compared to the first round on the Military Testing Ship; however, for Sikong Jing, it was merely a slight drizzle.

What kind of pressure had he not seen?

The pressure of ten thousand beasts howling was a thousandfold, even a millionfold more intense than this Martial Meridian Stone.

Just the pressure from a single Dark Winged Dragon Eagle could crush the Martial Meridian Stone into dust…

At this moment, both Ning Jingjing and Elder Wei’s gazes were fixed on Sikong Jing.

They exchanged a quiet look and revealed expressions that said ‘just as expected.’ Although Sikong Jing had a Spirit Martial Root, his Martial Arts Will was simply monstrous.

That was why he was able to board the Military Testing Ship and pass the first round in the first place.

“Buzz…”

Suddenly, amidst the two to three thousand people from the Eagle Domain, someone emitted a blood-red glow.

In an instant, all eyes were on them, and Elder Wei whispered, “This is the awakening of the Martial Vein.

The Martial Meridian Stone can awaken the dormant Martial Arts Bloodline within your body, making you a true Martial Arts Genius.”

At once, those who heard Elder Wei’s words felt an intense excitement.

They too wanted to awaken their Martial Arts Bloodline.

“Buzz…”

Then, the second resounding hum echoed out.

Another person from the Eagle Domain had awakened.

It was followed by a continuous buzzing… One after another, bloodlines were awakening, all from the Eagle Domain.

In a short span, there were as many as nine people.

Looking over at the Canglong Domain, not a single one had awakened.

“Hahaha, General Ning, where is the quality you spoke of?” Lan Zhuanghe couldn’t help but laugh heartily, squinting his eyes as he asked.

Ning Jingjing replied indifferently, “Awakening first is not necessarily a good thing; it just means the bloodline is weaker.”

Elder Wei then explained to the crowd that the deeper a bloodline is hidden, the stronger it is, and naturally, the slower it would awaken.

Lan Zhuanghe shrugged and said, “General Ning, I wonder how long you will remain obstinate.”

Buzz…

Suddenly, someone from the Canglong Domain awakened, and a red glow appeared.

All eyes turned to this person, and then Su Zhenglong, Su Yue Immortal, and others’ pupils shrank dramatically.

The one who had awakened was none other than Yan Ruyu, who had been lying on the ground about to pass out.

All of a sudden, Yan Ruyu opened her eyes and became spirited, laughing incredulously, “Ha, hahaha… I can’t believe I’ve awakened my bloodline, my ancestors indeed did not deceive me.”

Back in Yunzhou, she was not chosen by Ning Jingjing, but after returning to the Imperial City, she consumed the Yan Family ancestor’s bloodline left behind.

She then reached the Fourth Grade Martial Root and was selected to board the Divine Spaceship.

This bloodline, in fact, was brought back from the Long Night Empire by a Yan Family ancestor over a hundred years ago.

After returning, this individual died soon after, entrusting on his deathbed that once two hundred years had passed, they were to select one person to consume it.

Obviously, the bloodline that the Yan Family ancestor brought back was not just as simple as the Yan Family bloodline.

Now that Yan Ruyu had suddenly awakened, it was naturally thanks to this bloodline’s power.

After her laughter ceased, Yan Ruyu then glared at Sikong Jing with a cold sneer, “What can you use to compete with me now, hahaha.”

Sikong Jing withdrew his gaze and completely ignored her!

His body contained the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts; why would he care about whatever Martial Arts Bloodline Yan Ruyu had awakened?

And just as Yan Ruyu’s voice fell, another red glow streaked through the Canglong Domain as the second person awakened.

And this time, the one who had awakened was… Sui Yu!
