Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 740 - Changing the Bloodline 10th
Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Changing the Bloodline [10th Update] Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Changing the Bloodline [10th Update] Under the sneering gaze of Li Bin, and amidst the slightly tense observation of Li Chengfeng and several Elders, Li Xiaoyao slowly extended his right palm and gently placed it on the assessment stele.
The stele was cool to the touch, imbued with a tranquil and mind-clearing energy that revitalized Li Xiaoyao’s spirits.
One second, two seconds…
A minute went by, yet the stele showed no reaction, causing Li Chengfeng and the others to frown deeply.
“How can this be?”
“There must be a problem with the stele!”
Li Bin, wearing an expression as if he had anticipated this, sneered, “The stele is specially used by the Ancient Li Family to test disciples. How could it have a problem?”
...
While the two parties were speaking, Li Xiaoyao, who was in the midst of the test, suddenly felt a strong suction force from the palm of his hand placed on the stele.
The bloodline energy hidden deep within his flesh found an outlet at this moment, gushing out freely.
“Boom!”
A blood-red column of light burst forth from the black stele, its oppressive force from the bloodline causing hearts to tremble.
“This oppressive force…” Li Bin, shocked and disbelieving, stared at the blood-red column of light, his face filled with incredulity.
The oppressive force from the bloodline made even him feel an urge to prostrate himself.
This had nothing to do with cultivation level.
Deep-colored blood-red rings descended one by one from the sky, enfolding Li Xiaoyao.
One ring after another, and in the blink of an eye, there were already seven rings.
“Seventh Grade Bloodline!” Li Bin’s pupils constricted, his body going limp involuntarily. This kid actually possessed a Seventh Grade Bloodline.
The test was not yet complete.
Another blood-red ring fell.
“Eighth Grade Bloodline…”
As if to drive Li Bin to despair, the Ninth Grade blood-red ring descended without any hesitation.
Li Bin’s face turned as pale as frosted eggplant, disbelieving.
Just when everyone thought it was over, the blood-red column of light showed no signs of dissipating after the ninth ring fell.
The energy in the blood-red rings became more intense and their color deepened. The oppressive force from the bloodline was so overwhelming that Li Bin, who was also on the field, could no longer stand it and knelt down with a bend of his knees, prostrating himself on the ground.
This awakening bloodline was definitely beyond the Ninth Grade, without a doubt!
Kneeling on the ground, Li Bin glared at Li Xiaoyao with resentful eyes. He had been humiliated by him.
The oppressive force of the blood-red column nearly reached its peak. Li Xiaoyao felt an unknown energy stirring within him. He withdrew his hand, and the blood-red column slowly began to recede until it disappeared.
Li Xiaoyao turned to look at Li Bin, who had risen to his feet, his eyes gleaming with a smile, “Elder Li, I wonder if you find the result of the test satisfactory?”
Provocation, brazen provocation.
Li Bin felt his cheeks burning. He had hoped to see Li Xiaoyao make a fool of himself, but unexpectedly, the kid actually possessed a bloodline that surpassed the Ninth Grade.
It was simply defying the heavens!
Li Bin stepped forward intending to take the assessment stele away, but Li Xiaoyao held his hand back, saying, “The Ancient Li Family’s assessment stele is old. Why don’t you leave this stele here for my Li Family’s use? It’s just a stone, it shouldn’t mean much to Elder Li.”
“A broken stone, take it if you want.” Li Bin said through gritted teeth, his heart bleeding inside.
This assessment stele, which he had obtained at a great cost, was now taken away by Li Xiaoyao, how could he not feel hatred.
“Li Chaotian, bring him to the Li Family tomorrow!” With a cold tone, Li Bin dropped this sentence and left the Li Family compound without another word.
His departure was crisp, yet it lacked a certain grace and instead carried a hint of humiliation.
Li Xiaoyao watched his retreating figure and coldly smiled, “With such little skill, you still want to compete with me? Good luck not getting killed.”
Li Chengfeng and several Elders were in high spirits. They had long been displeased with Li Bin, but they had no good solution. After all, tracing back to the roots, everyone was from the Li Family. Moreover, the gap between Xuan Country’s Li Family and the Ancient Li Family was vast, a gap that couldn’t be bridged by just two Nascent Soul Realm Venerables.
The banquet commenced, and all the senior members of the Li Family took their seats.
Li Chengfeng smiled as he took the seat of honor, while the Ancestral Elder sat gulping cup after cup of wine, heaping praises on Xiaoyao.
“Xiaoyao, when you go to the Li Family tomorrow, don’t be afraid. If they look down on you, throw it right back at them. Even if you don’t enter the forbidden land in the end, don’t let them belittle you,” Li Pingshuang said, downing a drink.
Li Xiaoyao nodded and smiled, “I understand.”
Li Chaotian felt somewhat helpless and gave Li Xiaoyao a meaningful look, signaling him not to take the Ancestral Elder’s reckless words to heart.
With some joyful and others worried, during the banquet, Li Pengcheng’s face never showed a smile.
Once upon a time, he was the genius of the Li Family.
During every banquet, he was the one being discussed.
But now, Xiaoyao had taken over all of his status within the Li Family.
This huge gap was something he could not accept.
“Why am I not a Seventh Grade Bloodline? Why do I only have a Sixth Grade Bloodline?” Li Pengcheng felt resentful.
The gap between him and Xiaoyao was already significant, and if Xiaoyao entered the forbidden land, the gap would only grow larger.
With these thoughts, Li Pengcheng suddenly stood up, and without a word, he headed outside.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng and the Elders frowned.
“This kid is getting more and more disrespectful!” Li Pingshuang huffed, his words full of dissatisfaction.
Xie Nan wore a forced smile, wanting to get up and follow, but she couldn’t leave her seat.
Now that Li Pengcheng had left a bad impression on the Ancestral Elders and other Elders, she had to find a way to maintain his image.
…
Li Pengcheng came to the vast grounds and looked at the black stele in the center, striding towards it with determination.
Placing his palm on the stele, it didn’t take long for blood-red halos to descend from the sky.

One…
Two…
When the sixth blood-red halo fell, he angrily punched the stele.
“Again a Sixth Grade, always a Sixth Grade Bloodline!” There was a time when Li Pengcheng thought his Sixth Grade Bloodline was already genius.
Without comparison, there would be no hurt.
Li Xiaoyao’s Bloodline surpassing the Ninth Grade mercilessly crushed him to dust.
A mere Sixth Grade Bloodline was nothing to behold, not even worthy to participate in the clan competition.
“They say that in a state close to death, there’s a slim chance for the Bloodline to elevate,” Li Pengcheng’s eyes lit up. Grinding his teeth, he suddenly clenched his fists tightly. Muscles bulged, veins surfaced on his skin, and blood spurted out in an instant.
“Ah!”
A piercing scream, full of despair, came from his mouth, resonating loudly in the still of the night.
Li Chengfeng and Li Pingshuang, who were dining, had their senses sharpened after breaking into the Nascent Soul Realm, and almost instantly heard his scream.
“It’s Pengcheng!” Li Chengfeng swiftly stood up from his seat, eyes filled with urgency.
Li Xiaoyao also heard the scream and couldn’t help but wonder what had happened.
