02 Red Eyes Flaming Lion

An imposing middle-aged man stood in the center of the Martial Hall; he had a square face and thick, dense eyebrows, and emanated an oppressive aura. This man was Ling Wong's older brother, Ling Peng. He was also Ling tian's Eldest Uncle. Next to Ling Peng stood a boy the same age as Ling Tian; Eldest Uncle Ling Peng's second son, Ling Shan, who was also here for the Bloodline awakening ceremony.

Ling Wong and Chu Ying led Ling Tian to the center of the hall. Greeting Ling Peng, Ling Wong called out: "Big Brother."

Ling Tian followed in their greeting and called out: "Eldest Uncle."

When Ling Peng saw it was Ling Wong and Chu Ying, his expressionless deadpan face loosened slightly, he nodded lightly and said: "You're here."

According to Ling Tian's memory, Ling Peng was in charge of the Ling Clan Manor's Punishment and Disciplinary hall; therefore, he was a very strict person.

Ling Peng did not utter another word after that, and Ling Wong knowing his brother's temperament, took no offense.

Not long after Ling Tian arrived, a hearty laughter resounded from outside the hall. As Ling Tian and the others turned to look, a healthy looking old man surrounded by a group of people entered the hall. This old man was none other Ling Tian's grandfather, Ling Zong, the Ling Clan Manor's lord for the past forty years, the very person who established the Ling Clan.

"Old Manor Lord!"

Upon Ling Zong's arrival, residents of Ling Clan Manor present in the hall quickly rushed over to pay their respects.

Ling Peng, Ling Wong and Chu Ying also moved forward quickly: "Father!"

Ling Tian and Ling Shan both came forward: "Grandpa."

Ling Zong smiled, then nodded his head at Ling Peng's group before turning to face the rest of Ling Clan Manor's people-- he smiled and said: "Do not stand on ceremony. Today, I came over just to have a look." Usually, the Old Manor Lord would not make an appearance during the Bloodline awakening ceremony at the Martial Hall, however, this year was special because of Ling shan and Ling Tian. This Old Manor Lord exited his closed-door retreat earlier than planned.

Ling Zong walked to the front of the main hall, his eyes swept over the crowd in the hall before finally stopping on an old man in a gray robe standing next to him. Laughing amiably, Ling Zong said: "Since everyone is already here, let's begin."

"Yes, Manor Lord." The old man in gray-robe answered respectfully, and then he walked to the center of the hall.

The old man in the gray robe was Ling Clan Manor's Chief Steward Lan Feng; Ling Tian heard his father say Lan Feng had been a follower of Grandfather Ling Zong for a long time-- even before Ling Zong established the Ling Clan Manor, he was already by grandfather's side.

Lan Feng stood at the center of the hall, a light glowed in his hands, spreading an overwhelming force around the hall.

Ling tian's eyes lit up; is this power of a level 11 Bone refining? So strong!

With Lan Feng's channeling his battle qi, suddenly, in the center of the hall, a bright hexagonal pattern shone, forming a beam of light.

"Ling Shan, you first." Ling Zong looked to Ling Shan.

"Yes, Grandfather." Ling Shan answered and stepped forward into the hexagonal patterned light beam. As the beam of light fell on Ling Shan, everyone in the hall focused on Ling Shan who was now standing within the beam of light. Ling Peng's usually expressionless face showed a faint trace of tension as he watched his son.

The beam of light wrapped around Ling Shan for a brief moment before a black light took over, enveloping. Finally, the Flaming Shadow of a Lion gradually emerged from behind Ling Shan. It was a Red Eyes Flaming Lion. As the shape of the Flaming Lion condensed and became more corporeal, a ferocious Lion's roar echoed in the main hall.

Everyone was stunned.

Ling Zong stared at the faint Flaming Figure behind his grandson Ling Shan; his eyes shone brightly as he let out a big laugh, tremendously pleased.

"This is a grade 9 Bloodline, The Red Eyes Flaming Lion!" Chief Steward Lan Feng cried out in a trembling voice.

A Red Eyes Flaming Lion was considered one of the tops among the high-grade Bloodline; it was infinitely the closest to being a superb talent Bloodline.

Ling Shan's Bloodline turned out to be a grade 9 Bloodline, the Red Eye Flaming Lion!

"A grade 9 Bloodline, it turned out to be a grade 9 Bloodline!"

"A King Level Bloodline Has Appeared." Crowd

A grade 9 Bloodline was very uncommon. Not only in Kyushu County but the entire kingdom.

Ling Peng looked at the red eyes Flaming Lion hovering behind his son. Both of his fists were clenched tightly, barely able to contain the excitement he felt at that moment. Even so, his body trembled slightly.

Ling Zong's laughter continued to reverberate in the hall for some time. He did not expect his impromptu visit to the Martial Hall would give him such a wonderful surprise!

"Good, good, good!" Ling Zong repeated the word 'good' three times with a wide smile. Inhaling deeply, he gathered himself as he tried to suppress the excitement in his heart.

His eyes were full of joy as he looked lovingly at this grandson who possessed a grade 9 Bloodline. He believed with the support and cultivation resources provided by the Ling Clan Manor, Ling Zong's achievements would surely surpass him, allowing his grandson to reach a realm that he spent his entire life dreaming of.

At this moment, Ling Wong walked towards Ling Peng to offer his congratulations: "Congratulations Big Brother."

Ling Peng looked at Ling Wong's sincere face, then he patted Ling Wong's shoulders and said: "Thank you, Second Brother. Let's wait awhile, Xiao Tian has yet to awaken his Bloodline, there is a chance that he too might possess a grade 9 Bloodline or Above."

In the big hall, Ling Clan Manor Elders and some stewards were busy congratulating Ling peng.

"Shan'er, come here." At this time, Ling Zong, who was standing in the center of the hall, laughed as he waved at Ling Shan.
