Chapter 1000: An Inappropriate Request

An innocent heart is not a state of mind, but rather a kind of spiritual body.

This spiritual body is naturally immune to illusions, able to maintain its true heart within them, extremely formidable.

Yet those with an innocent heart are exceedingly rare, perhaps not one in ten thousand years.

Bai Guang actually ignored the Heart-Questioning Forest and walked straight out; only an innocent heart could explain it.

Just then, Wu Mo emerged second from the Heart-Questioning Forest.

When he saw Bai Guang, he couldn't help but shudder.

Originally, among these three trials, the one he had the best chance of winning was the Heart-Questioning Forest. But who would have thought he would stumble at the first hurdle?

When he heard that Bai Guang might possess the legendary innocent heart, even someone as composed as he was showed a very unpleasant expression.

But Ye Yuan had already walked through the Heart-Questioning Forest twice; who won and who lost needed no further judgment.

As for Rong Ning, he was even worse, emerging a full hour later than Wu Mo.

The second round tested bloodline power, using a top-grade saint artifact called the Blood Soul Stone.

The Blood Soul Stone's detection of bloodline was completely different from displayed pressure, far more precise.

Moreover, the Blood Soul Stone's assessment of bloodline was a comprehensive consideration, not merely bloodline intensity.

For example, age, potential, and intensity, because these things are often contained within the blood.

The first to step up was Rong Ning; he seemed not too pressured, as if he knew he was just a filler with no real hope.

Rong Ning dripped a drop of essence blood onto the Blood Soul Stone, and soon, the stone emitted intense fluctuations.

"Green bloodline! Rong Ning has a green bloodline! This result is already quite good! Unfortunately, his opponents are Wu Mo and Bai Guang!"

After the fluctuations, the Blood Soul Stone finally settled on green, so it was judged as a green bloodline.

The Blood Soul Stone tests bloodline intensity, from low to high divided into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple. Red is the lowest, purple the highest.

Rong Ning ultimately settled on a green bloodline, which was already quite strong.

After Rong Ning, Wu Mo followed suit, dripping his essence blood onto the Blood Soul Stone.

The Blood Soul Stone emitted a strong light, first red, then orange, gradually intensifying.

When the color surged to green and turned from green to cyan, it began to lose momentum.

Wu Mo's expression changed; his eyes stared fixedly at the Blood Soul Stone, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists.

"It passed! It really passed! Cyan bloodline! A cyan bloodline is already extremely rare! Even if Rong Xing were here, it would be no different. For Bai Guang to surpass Wu Mo in bloodline, it won't be easy!"

At this time, the news that Bai Guang had a saint-level bloodline had not yet spread, and a cyan bloodline was already an extremely rare intensity, so most were not optimistic about Bai Guang.

But when Bai Guang dripped his essence blood onto the Blood Soul Stone, everyone was shocked!

Red, orange, yellow—they surged through almost instantly.

At green it slowed a little, but still passed quickly. Then came cyan, and blue!

"Blue bloodline! The color is still deepening; could Bai Guang's bloodline intensity directly reach purple?"

"This... too monstrous! Since the decline of the divine path, no one's bloodline has ever reached purple. Just how strong is Bai Guang's bloodline?"

"Look, it really passed! Purple! Purple bloodline!"

Purple bloodline instantly stirred up a huge commotion among the crowd. Shocked were not only the White Tiger clan members but also the other three clans who had come to observe.

Purple bloodline was the highest level the Blood Soul Stone could measure. And in the past hundred thousand years, no one had ever reached purple.

The best bloodline intensity had only been blue.

And today, a purple bloodline had emerged—how could they not be astonished?

Seeing this, Rong Kun stroked his beard and smiled. Bai Guang's performance today had brought him great honor.

"Look! Bai Guang's bloodline test isn't over yet! The color of the Blood Soul Stone is still deepening! It's... it's about to turn black!" At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Rong Kun and several elders, including those from the other three clans, stood up abruptly, startled by the anomaly on the Blood Soul Stone.

"Could it be... could Bai Guang's bloodline reach the legendary black bloodline? This... how is this possible?" Bai Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Black bloodline was the highest level of bloodline in the White Tiger clan! Its potential was unimaginable.

Even in the age of the divine path, very few had achieved a black bloodline.

This bloodline was almost a legend!

And today, this legend was about to become reality!

Seeing this, Ye Yuan merely smiled slightly.

This outcome was within his expectations; the Perfect White Tiger Body could reach the level of a being like the Holy Ancestor.

Making the Blood Soul Stone turn black was only reasonable.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the color of the Blood Soul Stone finally turned black.

Everyone drew in a cold breath, looking at Bai Guang with incredulous eyes.

"Hoo... Great Elder, in my opinion, the third round need not be held. Bai Guang's potential is simply unmatched by others. He is truly worthy of being the young clan leader." Bai Yi said.

Rong Kun also took a deep breath and looked at the elders, saying, "Elders, do you have any objections?"

"None! Bai Guang has made the Blood Soul Stone reach the legendary black; his future achievements are boundless. If he doesn't become the young clan leader, who will?"

"No objections!"

"..."

All the elders unanimously agreed; Bai Guang's position as young clan leader was set in stone.

If someone with a black bloodline couldn't become the young clan leader, then the White Tiger clan would be a joke.

Rong Kun said, "In that case, the third round of trials is unnecessary. The new young clan leader of the White Tiger clan is Bai Guang! Honored guests, please rest in our White Tiger clan for a day. After I report this matter to the clan leader, the coronation ceremony for the young clan leader will be held tomorrow morning!"

Hearing this news from Rong Kun, Bai Guang also let out a long breath.

He had paid too much for today. Of course, he had also grown a lot in the process.

Finally, he had become the young clan leader of the White Tiger clan.

But this was no longer Bai Guang's goal. Since learning the secrets of the Demon Tiger clan and the White Tiger clan, his greater goal was to unite the two clans and unify the White Tiger clan.

Bai Guang couldn't help but look at Ye Yuan, his eyes full of gratitude.

If not for his big brother, his situation would certainly be extremely difficult now, let alone becoming the young clan leader.

Just as the crowd was about to disperse, Ao Jianbo suddenly spoke to Rong Kun, "Brother Kun, Ao has an inappropriate request."

Rong Kun was somewhat surprised and said, "Brother Jianbo, feel free to speak! As long as you don't take Ye Yuan away, anything is negotiable."

Rong Kun knew that Ao Jianbo's sudden interjection was probably still about Ye Yuan.

Ao Jianbo said calmly, "I am very curious: just how strong is this human boy's bloodline? Since the Blood Soul Stone is here, could you let him try?"
