"Ling Yu, after the test, there is no doubt that you indeed have the Ling Family's bloodline, and moreover... the Supre Bloodline."
Ling Tingfeng looked at Ling Chen, solemnly speaking.
"Oh, Supre Bloodline."
Ling Chen nodded. This fact didn't need explanation, as he could guess it from the reactions of others earlier.
"Oh? Do you know what Supre Bloodline ans?"
Ling Xue couldn't accept Ling Chen's calmness. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been overexcited. To her, it seed Ling Chen didn't understand what his bloodline ant.
"Supre Bloodline is sothing that only exists in ancient Saint Families. Once you have the Supre Bloodline, it ans there's an eight or nine chance you'll beco a Saint in the future, and there's a great chance of becoming a High-level Saint."
Speaking of High-level Saints, Ling Xue couldn't help but feel a touch of reverence. Across the entire Nine Provinces Land, High-level Saints are as rare as phoenix feathers, and for soone like Empress Yunyao to beco a High-level Saint at a young age, it's unimaginable.
Empress Yunyao was her idol, but she knew that matching Empress Yunyao was undoubtedly an unattainable dream. However, Ling Chen's Supre Sword Saint Bloodline gave him that qualification.
Yet this guy behaved as if it was nothing extraordinary.
"I think I heard earlier that besides , there are others in the Ling Family with the Supre Bloodline?"
Ling Chen's eyes slightly narrowed as he asked.
"Yes, the Ling Family's number one talent, Ling Yuxuan, also has the Supre Sword Saint Bloodline, the sa bloodline level as you."
Ling Xue nodded slightly, "He is twenty-four years old, ranked third in the northern Hidden Dragon List and is an expert with a cultivation at the Eighth Layer of Sky Apex Realm. He can easily kill a Half-Saint."
ntioning Ling Yuxuan, Ling Xue's pretty face was very solemn. It was evident he was the only one among the younger generation of the Ling Family who could make her feel pressure.
Nodding his head, Ling Chen couldn't help but ponder. Back when Liu ngru made a move, she defeated Liu Qing's Half-Saint effortlessly, so Ling Chen believed Ling Yuxuan could kill a Half-Saint easily. This was likely not an exaggeration.
"But Ling Chen, you should not be disheartened. With your talent and bloodline, it's not impossible to catch up with Ling Yuxuan one day."
Seeing Ling Chen fall silent, Ling Xue thought he was overwheld by Ling Yuxuan and quickly reassured him.
Actually, she was overthinking. How could Ling Chen be so easily demoralized? Even soone like Ling Yuxuan couldn't shake him. In this world, there was no such person in this era.
"Ling Chen, your talent and bloodline are indeed rare in a century, no less than Ling Yuxuan's. Moreover, you are younger than him. No one knows what level you can reach three years from now with the family's nurturing."
Ling Tingfeng also spoke up, "But let explain first, though the Ling Family is one of the Nine Great Families and an ancient Saint family with profound heritage and abundant resources, the competition is equally fierce. Sotis, to have better cultivation resources, you must prove your strength; otherwise, your benefits will quickly fall into others' hands."
Ling Tingfeng's expression was slightly solemn as he stared at Ling Chen.
"This competition serves as a tempering for young disciples. Even we won't interfere in disciples' sparring. To have prominent cultivation resources in the Ling Family, you need sufficient strength to maintain them."
"You're an extraordinary talent from the Ling Family, even if from a branch family, but your potential is limitless, so the family will naturally reward you. However, whether you can keep the reward depends on your ability."
"What reward?" Ling Chen's curiosity was piqued. Any reward ntioned by Ling Tingfeng couldn't be ordinary.
"Have you heard of the Sword Pool?"
Ling Tingfeng smiled slightly.
Ling Chen shook his head directly. He had heard of the Sword Tomb, but the Sword Pool was a completely unfamiliar term. However, Ling Xue beside him was shocked and said incredulously, "The Patriarch intends to let Ling Yu enter the Sword Pool directly? But the Sword Pool only opens once a year, and this year's slots are already decided?"
"Exceptional people receive exceptional treatnt."
Ling Tingfeng waved his hand, smiling faintly, "The slots aren't fixed, and they belong to those capable. If Ling Yu lacks the ability, he won't enter the Sword Pool."
"Please tell more."
Ling Chen's curiosity about the Sword Pool couldn't be contained, so he asked.
Ling Tingfeng said leisurely, "The Sword Pool is a unique miraculous place of the Ling Family, developed by our Ling Family's ancestors over a millennium ago. Over the years, all worn and broken treasure swords are cast into the Sword Pool, accumulating a powerful Sword Spirit Qi."
"At that ti, I will personally work with several Elders to use the Sword Spirit Qi to temper your body. This Sword Spirit Qi is a great supplent for swordsn. If you can withstand it, your strength will surely improve."
"Sounds promising."
Ling Chen's eyes brightened. Anything that the Ling Family Patriarch would personally involve must be remarkable.
"Of course it's good. Usually, only the Ling Family's best disciples enjoy the Sword Pool. If not for your special case, it wouldn't be your turn." A Ling Family Elder glanced at Ling Chen and said.
"Then this ti, am I not taking soone else's slot?" Ling Chen smiled.
"Yes, but you need the ability to do so. To enter the Sword Pool, one needs at least a cultivation of the Sixth Layer of Sky Apex Realm. Everyone there is no pushover, and you only have Sky Apex Fourth Layer cultivation. To seize a spot from them won't be easy," Ling Tingfeng said playfully, with his hands held behind his back.
"Geniuses at the Sixth Layer of Sky Apex Realm..." Ling Chen's eyes narrowed, then he slowly nodded and softly said, "They are powerful, but defeating them shouldn't be hard."
With Ling Chen's current strength, defeating a Sky Apex Realm Ninth Level expert is effortless. However, this is for ordinary Ninth Level experts. The top talents of the Ling Family can't be asured with ordinary standards; they can challenge opponents across at least two levels, if not three, which wouldn't be surprising.
It's genius versus genius, to see who is the more genius.
But once Ling Chen unleashes the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique, his strength will progress significantly. Along with the Green Lotus Sword Song, defeating opponents shouldn't be difficult.
However, as he was undercover, he should avoid using the Green Lotus Sword Song if possible. As for the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique, it's best not to use it either. If he's recognized, his true identity would be compromised.
