Apotheosis

Quickly moving, Akshay stepped forward and picked Frida up, throwing her in the air and letting out a cheer.

All over the square, the Nine Li members also started to cheer.

Talent was bestowed by the bloodline and the races had to maintain their power. That was why this world had a strong sense of racial crisis.

The result of the test proved that Frida was a worthy successor. It was a cause for a huge celebration since within this thousand years, only two people had the sixth grade blood, and Frida was the only one who had the quasi-seventh grade blood. Naturally, this was something worth celebrating!

The still dazed Frida had no idea on what was happening.

Then it was her brother's turn.

The method was the same as the Grand Elder pierced Jeffery's finger to get a few drops of blood and then threw them on the jade.

"Plop..."

"Buzz..."

As the blood was absorbed by the jade, it began to shake once more and its color began to turn red.

It was changing but it was very slow.

Akshay and all the other Nine Li members stared at the jade nervously.

"Jeffery's blood isn't good..."

"It's been so long but his blood is only at the second grade. I'm afraid it won't reach the third grade."

"Well... a dragon can have nine different sons, and brothers born of the same parents differ from each other; even purity of boy-girl twins' blood would greatly differ."

It took a few more moments but eventually, the Grand Elder announced, "Jeffery's blood is at the third grade."

Unlike earlier, Akshay silently stepped forward to pick up Jeffery and gently pat his back. Blood purity was largely decided by luck and no one could change it. It was already a great blessing from God to have Frida in his family.

After their turn, the rest of the people carried their children over to undergo the same test.

Most of the other children had blood that was third grade to fifth grade.

Third grade was average but fifth grade was outstanding.

Those who were graded as just the standard would feel depressed, while those who were

lood of our race but it's a pity that your grade is too low."

Zen wasn't too disappointed.

Even if his mother told him that he had the purest blood of the Nine Li race and that he was the most legitimate descendant of Chiyou, that didn't change the fact that his blood had been exchanged. Zen could accept this result.

As long as he could prove himself to the Nine Li race and stay then his goal was achieved.

Right when Zen nodded, the jade beside him suddenly let out a crisp sound.

All eyes turned to the jade.

A blood red crack appeared on the surface of the jade!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

With every explosive sound, a new blood red fracture ruptured on the jade.

It took only a few more moments for the surface of the flawless white jade to be filled with bloody cracks.

"Buzz!"

The color of the jade started to quickly change as it shook.

The previous pale pink color gradually turned bright red and then became dark red, as if blood was bleeding from the jade's surface!

"Crack! Crack! Crack..."

Soon, the jade broke into pieces right in front of their eyes.

The noisy square suddenly fell silent as everyone was confused by the unexpected scene.

The jade was bestowed by a powerful master of the Nine Li race and endured years of blood purity tests. It was unanticipated that the jade would break into pieces today.
