174: Chapter 174 New Prodigy

After the bloody radiance submerged into the brows of all the reserve camp soldiers below, the blood-red token in the Void Realm gradually became ethereal until it finally dissipated into the Void Realm.

As streaks of bloody radiance emerged from the token in the Void Realm and submerged into the brows of the Blazing Flame Battle Riders Army reserve camp soldiers sitting cross-legged below.

In an instant.

The reserve camp soldiers, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and streaks of bloody energy emanated from their bodies, circling around them. Within a few breaths, these bloody energies that had emanated and circled around them completely enveloped each of the cross-legged reserve camp soldiers.

Ling Zhan, who was on the high platform, nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this. Relying on his own strength, he could feel that each of the reserve camp soldiers below was currently receiving the Legacy of the Blazing Flame Battle Soul, and their own strength was also rapidly increasing... At the same time.

Main Peak Hall of the Ling Family.

Ling Feng was seated in the main seat, listening to Ling Buyi, Ling Zhan, and others report on the Family's development in various aspects during this period.

"Reporting to Clan Leader Ling, the Weapon Refining Hall, after this period of development, now possesses six Emperor-Level Artifact Refiners, thirty-six King-Level Artifact Refiners, seventy-one Heaven-Grade Artifact Refiners, one hundred forty Earth-Grade Artifact Refiners. There are currently no Profound-Grade Artifact Refiners, eleven Yellow-Grade Artifact Refiners, and two hundred Artifact Refining apprentices."

Ling Tie respectfully reported the situation of the Weapon Refining Hall to Ling Tian as if enumerating his Family's treasures.

"Reporting to Clan Leader Ling, the Heavenly Alchemy Hall, after this period of development, now possesses eight Emperor-Level Alchemists, twenty-six King-Level Alchemists, forty-one Heaven-Grade Alchemists, seventy-eight Earth-Grade Alchemists, six Profound-Grade Alchemists, twenty-one Yellow-Grade Alchemists, and one hundred sixty-nine Alchemy apprentices."

..."Reporting to Clan Leader Ling, the Sky Formation Hall, after this period of development, now possesses five Emperor-Level Formation Masters, eleven King-Level Formation Masters. There are currently no Heaven-Grade, Earth-Grade, Profound-Grade, or Yellow-Grade Formation Masters, and sixty-nine Formation apprentices."

..."Reporting to Clan Leader Ling, regarding the Family Disciple side..."

...Just as Ling Feng was listening to everyone's reports, a System notification sound instantly broke the silence in Ling Feng's mind and rang out directly.

"Ding, the Host's Family Luck has significantly increased. It has been detected that the Host's Family has successfully produced a Child of Destiny. The Host can go and inspect him for重點培養 (focused cultivation)."

"A new Prodigy?"

As the notification sound in his mind faded, Ling Feng couldn't help but murmur softly.

Ling Buyi, who had just finished his report in the Great Hall, saw that Ling Feng, who was in the main seat, had no reaction. Ling Buyi couldn't help but gently remind him.

"Clan Leader Ling... Clan Leader Ling..."

Upon hearing Ling Buyi's call, Ling Feng came back to his senses, realizing he was still listening to the Family's recent development.

Immediately, Ling Feng apologized profusely to Ling Buyi, Ling Zhan, and the other Family managers in the hall.

"Everyone, this seat was just thinking about some other matters and was slightly distracted. I hope you can forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Ling Buyi, Ling Zhan, and the other Family high-ranking officials immediately cupped their hands and responded with trepidation.

"Clan Leader Ling, you overstate it."

Seeing this, Ling Feng did not dwell on it further and immediately announced in a clear voice.

"Everyone has basically finished their reports. The Family's development during this period has indeed been very rapid, and this seat is very pleased. In the future, I hope everyone can maintain their original intentions, perform their duties, and contribute to the Family's construction and development."

"Yes, Clan Leader Ling."

"We will definitely do our utmost for the Family's development."

After hearing Ling Feng's words, Ling Buyi, Ling Zhan, and the other Family high-ranking officials stepped forward, cupped their hands, and respectfully responded with loud assurances.

"Next, the specific Family affairs will be arranged by the Grand Elder and the Second Elder. This seat has some other matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first."

Ling Feng nodded with a smile, and after giving his instructions, without waiting for anyone in the hall to react, his figure flickered and instantly disappeared from the main seat of the Great Hall.

By the time the Family high-ranking officials in the hall came to their senses, there was no trace of Ling Feng.

"Clan Leader Ling's Cultivation is becoming more unfathomable. With such a Clan Leader, the Ling Family's ascension to the top of the world is just around the corner."

Looking at the empty main seat where Ling Feng's figure had long vanished, Ling Buyi couldn't help but murmur with emotion. Then, he turned directly to the Family high-ranking officials in the hall and said in a clear voice.

"Everyone, regarding the Family..."

...At the same time.

Qingyu Peak.

In a small courtyard on the mountainside.

A young man dressed in the Ling Family's Outer Sect Disciple attire was sitting cross-legged, forming hand seals, with spiritual energy flowing throughout his body. It was clear he was in the midst of Cultivation.

A moment later.

The young man slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, and ended his Cultivation.

However, it was clear from his face that he did not show any joy from his Cultivation progress; instead, there was a hint of disappointment and melancholy.

"Alas..."

"The spiritual energy required to successfully activate that accidentally acquired Physique and inherit that mysterious Legacy is too terrifying. Even though the Cultivation resources provided by the Family are already quite abundant, and even my father and mother have slowed down their own Cultivation to provide me with a large amount of their Cultivation resources, these resources are still a drop in the bucket compared to the spiritual energy needed to activate that mysteriously acquired Physique."

"It seems I need to find a way to earn more Cultivation resources. I don't know when I will be able to Awaken this mysterious Physique."

..."Creak..."

Just as the young man was sitting in thought, full of frustration, a woman pushed open the small courtyard's gate and slowly walked in.

"Ziming, how was your Cultivation harvest today?"

As soon as the woman entered the courtyard, she saw Ling Ziming meditating in the courtyard and immediately asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, to avoid letting his mother see anything unusual, Ling Ziming quickly suppressed the frustration on his face, replacing it with a smile. He immediately looked up, stood up, and responded with a smile.

"Mother, your son's Cultivation has progressed quite a bit today. I reckon I'll be able to Breakthrough to the Profound Martial Realm very soon."

"Really?"

After hearing Ling Ziming's response, the middle-aged woman asked with pleasant surprise to confirm.

"Of course it's true. Could your son lie to you?"

"Good, good, good..."

"When your father returns later, you tell him this good news yourself and make him happy too."

Upon hearing this, Ling Ziming immediately nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, a sound of air breaking rang out, and immediately after, Ling Feng's figure appeared in the courtyard.

Upon seeing who it was, Ling Ziming and his mother were greatly startled. Without thinking further, they respectfully cupped their fists and bowed to Ling Feng.

"Zhang Ran, wife of Ling Dachao, greets Clan Leader Ling!"

..."Outer Sect Disciple Ling Ziming, greets Clan Leader Ling!"

...
