Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Dragon Soul [Fourth Update] Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Dragon Soul [Fourth Update] Li Zhan slowly released his palm, and the dragon-shaped jade pendant floated in the air, spinning on its own.
“Li Longxiang, Li Qinglong, Li Fenghua, Li Xiaoyao, co to the stage!” Li Zhan’s voice echoed endlessly in the hall.
Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath.
Thankfully it wasn’t a direct announcent, the proactive selection by the jade pendant indeed could avoid a lot of trouble.
However, since Li Zhan had spoken to him in advance, making it clear that he was the Li Family heir, and had not let him test the jade pendant prior to this, it indicated that he must have ascertained it through so other ans.
What could that be?
Could it be his Ninth Grade bloodline?
...
Probably, Li Xiaoyao could think of no other way.
The four of them ascended the stage, and Li Zhan said, “Drop a drop of blood on it. If it rges with the jade pendant, you are the Li Family heir.”
Li Longxiang volunteered, “I’ll go first!”
Under the watchful eyes of the clan mbers, Li Longxiang stepped forward, faced the crowd below, extended his left hand, and squeezed out a drop of fresh blood.
The blood dripped onto the jade pendant, but there was no sign of rging.
Li Longxiang’s eyes were fixed onto the jade pendant, and he roared in his heart, hurry up and rge, rge now.
Yet it still let him down, as the blood dripped down the bottom edge of the pendant and fell onto the ground.
Failure!
Li Longxiang’s eyes turned sowhat lifeless, believing that he was undoubtedly the most likely to beco the Li Family heir at this ceremony. But reality had shown him that he had thought too much.
The crowd below was abuzz with discussion, while Li Longxiang’s face was ashen.
“It’s actually not Li Longxiang?”
“Li Longxiang is currently at the Fifth Rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm, the strongest of our Li Family, yet it’s not him?”
“What strongest? Have you forgotten? He couldn’t even handle one move from Li Xiaoyao. If we’re talking about the strongest, it’s undoubtedly Li Xiaoyao.”
“But Li Xiaoyao is a mber of the Xuan Country Li Family, how could he possibly be the Li Family heir?”
“No one said that a person from the Xuan Country Li Family can’t beco the Li Family heir. Otherwise, why would the Clan Leader have him go up there?”
“Now that you ntion it… that does make so sense.”
Li Qinglong was the second to go forward; with Li Longxiang’s failure, he felt his chances were even greater. Like most of the clan, he had instinctively ruled out Li Xiaoyao, thinking the competition for the heir was between himself and Li Fenghua.
As the blood fell onto the jade pendant, Li Qinglong stared with widened eyes, only to see the blood slowly slide across the pendant, and then… then it dropped onto the ground, just like what had happened with Li Longxiang.
“Damn…”
Li Qinglong’s eyelids twitched, and he turned to look at Li Fenghua in disbelief, “You’re actually the Li Family heir!”
Li Fenghua, with a proud and aloof expression, snorted, “Is that so strange?”
As she spoke, Li Fenghua stepped forward, flicking out a drop of blood onto the jade pendant.
The blood did not rge with the pendant as imagined; instead, it slid off even faster.
“Drip-drip!”
The blood fell to the ground, its sound conspicuously loud in the vast hall.
Not her either?
Li Longxiang and Li Qinglong were a bit dazed, what was going on? Li Fenghua wasn’t the Li Family heir either?
Who could it be then?
Apart from the three of them, who was the most qualified?
On the stage, Li Xiaoyao, standing alone, suddenly entered everyone’s field of vision.
Only then did people rember that, apart from Li Longxiang and the others, there was also a Li Xiaoyao in the Li Family.
The hall fell silent in an instant, the atmosphere a bit eerie.
Pairs of eyes, filled with strange glimrs, all converged on Li Xiaoyao.
“Could it really be him?”
Li Qinglong swallowed, his emotions incredibly complex.
“No way, is it really him?”
Li Longxiang and Li Fenghua found it difficult to accept for a mont; they had excluded Li Xiaoyao from the start and never imagined that in the end, it would still be Li Xiaoyao.
“It’s not necessarily him, it’s just that his chances are a bit higher.”
“Right, there are so many people in our Li Family, maybe it’s another clansman.”
The clansn discussed among themselves, but Li Longxiang and the others, through the expressions and reactions of Li Zhan and the seven Ancestral Elders, confird that this generation’s heir of the Li Family was probably really Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao felt sowhat amused and helpless inside, he had thought this indirect approach could calm the ceremony, but in the end, he had underestimated his identity as a person of Xuan Country’s Li Family and its unacceptability in the eyes of the Ancient Li Family Clan mbers.
But obviously, Li Xiaoyao was not going to concern himself with their opinions, as the position of heir was not sothing he sought for himself.
Now that it had co to this point, he naturally couldn’t turn around and leave the stage.
With a sense of resignation, he walked up to the Jade Pendant, under the intense gaze of Li Longxiang and the others, Li Xiaoyao extended his right hand, a fingertip forced a drop of blood out, flicked it lightly, and it shot towards the Jade Pendant.
The blood fell on the Jade Pendant, and hundreds of eyes converged on it at that mont.
“Boom!”
As soon as the blood touched the Jade Pendant, it imdiately erupted with astonishing brilliance, a dazzling radiance burst forth, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daylight.
The Jade Pendant absorbed the blood, and in the eyes of the dragon carving, a hint of blood color appeared.
A terrifying presence burst out from the Jade Pendant, a huge white phosphorus dragon suddenly soared out, its massive body coiling above the hall, every scale clearly visible, lifelike as if it were a True Dragon.
“Roar~”
The dragon roared, its dragon chant piercing heaven and earth, its massive and intimidating Dragon Might exerting great pressure, causing the clansn’s bodies to tremble and their faces to pale.
“This Jade Pendant actually contains a Dragon Soul!” Li Xiaoyao looked at the circling giant dragon in the sky with shocked eyes, feeling overwhelming astonishnt.
A dragon, a true dragon at that, was sealed within this Jade Pendant.
The grand scene shocked not only Li Xiaoyao.
The energy of the blood seed to have been completely depleted, the dragon from the sky suddenly returned to the Jade Pendant, leaving the empty hall above with nothing, as if everything that had just happened were but a fleeting illusion.
Before the appearance of this dragon, Li Xiaoyao felt that the identity of the heir was neither here nor there, but after the appearance of the dragon, he suddenly beca determined that he must be the Li Family heir.
Li Zhan had said the day before that today he would personally hand over the Jade Pendant to him.
A Jade Pendant that sealed the soul of a True Dragon could be a powerful aid to his cultivation and in battle.
Li Zhan’s voice sounded at the right mont, “The Jade Pendant has made its choice, the heir of the Li Family is Li Xiaoyao.”
The room fell silent!
It really was Li Xiaoyao.
The heir of the Li Family held the highest status aside from the Clan Leader and the Ancestral Elders.
And now, this status had been taken by Li Xiaoyao of Xuan Country’s Li Family.
The clansn were sowhat disgruntled inside, but the matter was settled, and it was not sothing they could change by will.
All they could do was accept it.
