Chapter 457: Chapter 456: Pretty Girl's Bloodline Intensity
"Alright, test my daughter," the Peacock Demon King said without another word. He did not intend to continue the conversation with Tang San and waved towards Pretty Girl.
As instructed, Pretty Girl stepped forward, her gaze lingering on Tang San. It was as if she had encountered an old acquaintance in a foreign land. What she was pondering over was whether Asura had only returned on the third day before because he had been at the Ancestral Court. Had he seen her and then rushed back?
At that moment, Tang San felt extremely conflicted. Pretty Girl appearing here undoubtedly meant she was participating in the Ancestral Court elite competition, and the Peacock Demon King personally bringing her signified something. Had her status as the heir been confirmed? If that were the case, then this competition would be a test for Pretty Girl to be officially recognized by the Ancestral Court\'s upper echelons. Could this be the test Pretty Girl mentioned earlier? But she had said the test was to take place within the Peacock Demon Clan!
If Pretty Girl and Big Cat were to compete for the championship in the individual competition in the future, what should he do? Whom should he support?
I\'m really not a person who favors romance over friendship! But... cough cough, Pretty Girl is also my friend now, right? Yes, that\'s right! I knew her even before Big Cat.
Unaware of Tang San\'s complex emotions, Big Cat was merely surprised that the Peacock Demon King had come personally to participate in the competition with the little princess and that she seemed to have a human bloodline—weren\'t her black locks evidence of that, as opposed to the characteristic peacock blue hair of the Peacock Demon Clan?
"Please," a staff member of the Phoenix Demon Clan gestured for Pretty Girl to proceed.
Pretty Girl slowly walked up to the testing stele, glancing back at Tang San beside her before observing his bloodline intensity of one zhang and three, her expression turning somewhat strange.
His bloodline isn\'t even at the first level? She had witnessed Asura\'s prowess many times and was aware of more than one kind of bloodline power he possessed. Did he really only have this level of bloodline intensity?
While thinking, she cut her finger and let a drop of her blood fall into the indentation.
Immediately, Tang San felt an unusual sensation rising within. His own blood had just been tested, and now it was Pretty Girl\'s. Didn\'t that mean their blood had mixed? It was a sort of intimate mingling of bodily fluids. As for the blood of those who had been tested before, their presence had been overshadowed by the intensity of his own blood—no, it didn\'t count.
"Puff!" As the blood entered the indentation, the crystal column on the stele immediately began to rise.
Not fast! Indeed, just like Tang San, not fast. The speed of ascent was even roughly the same.
The Peacock Demon King frowned slightly, while Tang San whispered to Pretty Girl, "It\'s fine, our human bloodline seems to climb slowly but steadily. That\'s how it was for me just now."
"Mm," Pretty Girl nodded at him.
Tang San whispered, "Are you participating in the individual competition? What about the doubles?"
"I\'m on my own..." Pretty Girl replied subconsciously, but as she finished speaking, her gaze froze on Tang San\'s face and she blinked.
Tang San also blinked, continuing to look at her.
Just as Tang San had said, the crystal column steadily and continuously climbed upward. Although not fast, it felt slightly quicker than Tang San\'s earlier ascent.
Two chi, three chi, four chi, five chi...
It soon surpassed six chi, seven chi, eight chi!
Watching the steady and enduring climb, the Peacock Demon King\'s expression had already returned to normal.
The two Phoenix Demon Clan members were also watching, interested in Pretty Girl\'s bloodline, as the Peacock and Phoenix had been competing for the title of King of birds for countless years. In the past, the Great Peacock Demon and the Undying Great Demon Emperor were well-matched. They had confronted each other for many years. Until the fall of the Great Peacock Demon, the Peacock Demon Clan had lost its vitality, allowing the Phoenix Demon Clan to firmly secure the position of King of birds.
The one who arrived today seemed to possibly, even likely, have Human lineage. Yet she was the daughter of the Peacock Demon King, here to participate in the elite competition. What did this mean?
Of course, the Phoenix Demon Clan also had members participating in the competition. Observing the true strength of this young princess from the Peacock Demon Clan was very worthwhile.
Tang San stood by Pretty Girl\'s side, and he had now sensed it, Pretty Girl had reached level 9, yes, level 9! Although she must have just broken through to level 9 recently, her aura was definitely stronger than when he had seen her a few days ago.
One zhang! Level 2 Bloodline was already stable. The Peacock Demon Clan is truly a First level Bloodline, but if she has Human bloodline as well, would it still reach the intensity of a First level Bloodline?
The rise of Pretty Girl\'s bloodline intensity crystal column, after surpassing one zhang, did not start to slow down like Tang San\'s had before, but instead maintained a steady pace of increase, clearly suggesting greater potential than what Tang San had shown. Tang San\'s bloodline intensity had climbed to one zhang and three chi, so it was very possible for her to reach one zhang and five chi, the threshold for a First level Bloodline.
Just as it was about to pass one zhang and two chi, Pretty Girl\'s bloodline intensity started to slow down at this moment.
Slowing down after surpassing one zhang and two chi?
Could it still reach one zhang and five chi?
Just as everyone harbored the same doubt, an astonishing scene occurred. Pretty Girl\'s crystal column, which had already begun to slow down, suddenly accelerated a second time after a brief pause, even faster than before by half, continuing its steady ascent.
A second acceleration?
The two Phoenix Demon Clan staff members were dumbstruck.
However, the undeniable fact was right before their eyes, they had no choice but to believe it! The device was absolutely impartial. The ability of bloodline power to accelerate a second time signified an ample foundation.
One zhang and three chi, one zhang and four chi, one zhang and five chi! First level Bloodline was stable. It continued to climb upward.
The Lion Tiger Sword Saint Big Cat, watching from the side, could not help but show a look of surprise. Having Human bloodline as well, was this girl even stronger than the Asura?
The trial proved everything, one zhang and six chi! After passing one zhang and six chi, the pace of increase slowed down once again. But by that time, it was already unimportant. Pretty Girl\'s identity as a holder of a First level Bloodline was beyond doubt.
Although having Human bloodline required more scrutiny to the participation criteria, the First level Bloodline and the personal presence of the Peacock Demon Clan Chief had already resolved all issues. After all, the Peacock Demon Clan had once produced a Great Demon Emperor.
One zhang and seven chi! It slowly passed one zhang and seven chi. This meant she had exceeded the previous mark of one zhang and six chi nine reached by the Lion Tiger Sword Saint. Such bloodline intensity similarly ranked among the best. Moreover, don\'t forget, she also had Human bloodline.
Tang San vaguely guessed the reason for Pretty Girl\'s bloodline intensity accelerating a second time; it stemmed from another bloodline she bore, inheriting the White Tiger Transformation bloodline from her mother and the legacy of the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor. The joint assistance of two First level bloodlines gave rise to such a change.
He couldn\'t help but be curious, what if he were to induce all his Marks to bleed? How many times would that accelerate? At least the Level 2 and First level bloodlines should accelerate, right? The two zhang tall stele might not be the limit.
Ultimately, Pretty Girl\'s bloodline intensity came to a halt at the position of one zhang seven chi and eight cun and no longer continued to rise. It was understood that such a position was extraordinarily astonishing.
The Peacock Demon King nodded satisfactorily and said, "Is that sufficient? Go ahead and register."
