Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 744 - Third Grade Bloodline 14th
Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Third Grade Bloodline [14th Update] Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Third Grade Bloodline [14th Update] Li Mo arrived at the side hall and immediately saw Li Xiaoyao and Li Pengcheng. By comparison, Li Xiaoyao always presented himself as if he were at the Qi Condensation stage, so Li Mo naturally assumed Li Pengcheng was the Li Family’s genius.
“Chaotian, you’ve worked hard,” Li Mo said politely with a smile on his face that at least didn’t seem too disagreeable.
Li Chaotian nodded indifferently and briefly introduced, “This is Li Xiaoyao from the Li Family of Xuan Country, and this is Li Pengcheng from the Li Family of Xuan Country.”
“Hm? Two people?” Only then did Li Mo realize that this lad with hardly any spiritual energy fluctuation was Li Xiaoyao, and what surprised him even more was that Li Chaotian had brought two people.
“Wasn’t there only one Li Xiaoyao? Why bring back two?” Li Mo’s question was somewhat impolite.
However, Li Chaotian was even less polite as he said, “The clan competition requires a Bloodline of Seventh Grade or above for Cultivators. Both of their Bloodlines exceed Seventh Grade, so naturally I brought them both, any problem with that?”
“Both of their Bloodlines exceed Seventh Grade?” Li Mo was shocked. Just a moment ago, Li Bin had said there was only one person with a Bloodline above Seventh Grade. How could there be another one now?
...
“Li Chaotian, I know you’re from the Ancient Li Family of Xuan Country, but that’s no excuse for mixing personal interests with public duties,” Li Mo frowned and said.
“Hmph!” Li Chaotian’s eyes darkened as he snorted coldly, “In terms of shamelessness, I’m not even one-thousandth as bad as you. I wouldn’t be caught dead doing something as foolish as mixing personal interests with public duties, which would give you an easy handle.”
“You!” Li Mo choked with anger. This Li Chaotian was still as irritating and sharp-tongued as ever.
“You what?” Li Chaotian stood up from his chair. Although he was just a protector of the Li Family, his Cultivation Level was higher than that of an Elder like Li Mo, and the Elders usually did not provoke him. But today, a dispute had arisen over Li Pengcheng.
However, Li Chaotian had the upper hand, and he was not afraid of causing trouble.
“To think you’re an Elder of the Li Family. Don’t you know about something like the Testing Stele? If you doubt my words, then take them to retest. Stop farting around here,” Li Chaotian was truly uncompromising, insulting him right in front of Li Xiaoyao and the others.
Li Xiaoyao listened and actually found Elder Li Chaotian to be quite spirited; his explosive temper was to his taste.
Li Mo was rendered speechless by the retort, not knowing how to respond.
Just then, a clan member came in and said, “Elder Li Mo, Elder Li Hui is waiting for you at the testing plaza.”
Upon hearing this, Li Mo knew that Li Hui must have taken care of the Stele matter.
Turning his head towards Li Chaotian, his gaze swept over the faces of Li Xiaoyao and the others, “Follow me to the testing plaza for a retest.”
Retest if a retest was necessary; true gold fears no fire.
As the four of them headed to the testing plaza, they attracted the attention of many clanspeople.
“Those two must be from the Li Family of Xuan Country.”
“I’ve heard that the Li Family of Xuan Country has produced a genius, apparently named Li Xiaoyao.”
“Eh, wasn’t there only one genius? Why are there two of them now?”
“Who knows, maybe the other one came to broaden his knowledge at our Ancient Sect.”
“The one at the back must be Li Xiaoyao; his aura is quite condensed.”
The surrounding whispering never ceased, but Li Xiaoyao was already used to such situations and automatically tuned out the irrelevant chatter.
As for Li Pengcheng, he felt a tinge of annoyance upon hearing someone mistaking him for Li Xiaoyao.
“Where are they going?”
“That direction… seems to be the testing plaza?”
“They must be going for a Bloodline test. After all, to participate in the clan competition, you need a Bloodline of at least Seventh Grade.”
“Even in our Ancient Li Family, there are only a dozen or so with a Seventh Grade Bloodline; that Li Family of Xuan Country actually has one, tsk, even a chicken coop can produce a Phoenix.”
“Let’s go, let’s see what Grade this kid’s Bloodline can reach.”
A group of clanspeople stopped their cultivation and followed the four, a spectacular sight in its own right.
These onlookers were just ordinary clanspeople; the younger generation with powerful Cultivation Levels would not casually waste their time on such spectacles.
At the testing square, Elder Li Bin and Elder Li Hui had already been waiting. Upon seeing them arrive, they greeted with a kind smile, walked over, and swept their gazes across the faces of Li Xiaoyao and his companion. With some confusion, they asked, “What’s going on here? Why are there two people?”
Li Chaotian had no choice but to explain again, “They both have bloodlines exceeding Seventh Grade.”
“Both?” Both Li Hui and Li Bin were taken aback, especially Li Bin.
Before leaving the Xuan Country’s Li Family, there was only Li Xiaoyao’s bloodline that exceeded Seventh Grade. It had only been one night, so how had another appeared?
A Seventh Grade bloodline was not as common as cabbage, available everywhere.
Li Chaotian couldn’t be bothered to explain further and said, “Let’s get the testing done. If it is a Seventh Grade bloodline or not, we’ll know after the test.”
Li Hui nodded and said, “Go ahead.”
“You go first,” Li Xiaoyao, with his hands behind his back, said indifferently to Li Pengcheng.
Li Pengcheng glanced at him but did not refuse, knowing the intention behind Li Xiaoyao’s gesture.
His bloodline was Eighth Grade, while Li Xiaoyao’s exceeded Ninth Grade.
If Li Xiaoyao were to test first, a bloodline surpassing Ninth Grade might very well drive the entire Ancient Li Family mad. Even if he then tested and revealed an Eighth Grade bloodline, it would hardly draw much attention or stir.
He had actually planned to refuse, but thinking back to the words Li Pingshuang shared with him that morning, he felt there was no need to fuss over who should go first.
Li Pengcheng approached the testing stele, raised his palm, and under the somewhat expectant gaze of the clan members, he slowly made his imprint.
One second, two seconds…
Ten seconds had passed, and the stele still showed no response.
Li Pengcheng didn’t take it to heart, simply assuming that the stele’s reaction was a bit slow.
Twenty seconds passed, then thirty…
One minute later, just as Li Pengcheng was starting to feel unsettled, the stele finally responded.
A faint red column of light rose from beneath his feet, enveloping him as if a thin red membrane.
This membrane was so faint that if one didn’t look closely, it would be nearly impossible to notice.
A blood-red ring descended from the sky.
The second…
The third…
And then no more, just three blood-red rings.
Li Pengcheng stood frozen, staring at the stele in disbelief.

Just this morning, he had passed through the testing stele.
The awakened grade of his bloodline was clearly Eighth Grade.
Why was the outcome different now?
“Hahaha, it’s actually only Third Grade?”
“My heavens, he dared to come to our Ancient Li Family with such a bloodline?”
“How shameful, better run back to the Xuan Country’s Li Family, and save yourself the embarrassment here.”
The taunting voices from the clan members below rang out clearly in Li Pengcheng’s ears.
Li Pengcheng lowered his head to look at his hands and muttered to himself, “How could this be?”
