Chapter 1292 Oceanic Universe of Clouds (1)
“Are there no middle-ranked clans?” Su Ping was puzzled.
The white-robed old man shook his head and said, “Yes, but not in this generation; it is extremely difficult for a Dao Child to be born in a middle-ranked clan. For starters, middle-ranked clans don’t have enough resources as the high-ranked clans do. Secondly, mid-tier clans’ bloodline potential can’t compare to that of the high-ranked. Lastly, high-ranked clans have Ancestral Gods, and all their members’ bloodlines are constantly purified by them.
“That is why every clan with an Ancestral God is a high-ranked clan. They can remain standing for eternity, unless something happens to their Ancestral God…”
His voice gradually dropped as he spoke.
It would be an obvious disrespect to talk about the death of an Ancestral God.
Su Ping was silent for a moment.
Even though he considered himself a human being, he knew that he carried the bloodline of the Primitive Chaos Clan.
What the man said was rather harsh, but also
true.
Bloodline potential and training resources were important reasons that limited the development of geniuses.
Without resources, it was impossible to display a genius’ potential.
There was a great difference in bloodline potential too.
Just like the strongest ant being completely unable to shake an elephant.
Some were born with a golden spoon, while others worked for a lifetime and were still incapable of earning as much as what the privileged had from birth!
The difference among humans was already massive enough, let alone among races. Su Ping then followed the old man and landed in the square.
He remained expressionless while sensing a wave of hostility from all the people present. He ignored them and looked at the front of the square, where several people were walking out of a vortex, including the elder he had seen in the Toad Fish Palace earlier on.
“He’s the candidate you’re recommending?”
The person standing at the center was a beautiful girl wearing silver earrings, all while displaying an alluring body figure. Her hair fluttered in the wind, and she seemed to be quite cold.
On her left side was a short child who had an enormous head. He was quite the cute sight. Right then he let out a childish voice, “He does seem extraordinary; my shield ring is reacting.”
The young man smiled. “I think highly of him. He escaped from the Rain Clan; besides the protection granted by humankind, he is definitely very lucky. Luck is one of his capabilities.”
“I’ve heard a lot about him. He’s indeed not bad,” said a rather old-looking man while nodding and stroking his beard.
A plump and attractive lady chuckled and said, “Let them get ready then; they have to beat the other candidates first.”
The other eight candidates frowned after hearing their conversation. It was obvious that they didn’t expect all five elders to think that highly of Su Ping on their first encounter.
Is this human truly extraordinary?
The eight of them exchanged glances, then fixed their gazes upon a handsome young man wearing a golden robe.
The young man snorted when everybody looked at him, but he didn’t back off. Although angry with Su Ping, the elders’ attitude made them cautious and nobody was willing to test him. So, he had to do it.
After all, there was a history between him and that human upstart!
“Let me be the first to try you, kid. I heard that you killed a prince of my clan. It’s true that you didn’t violate the rules of the institute, but you were too reckless. You could have shown mercy so that others would be merciful to you. I won’t go easy on you today. I’ll give you some time to get ready!”
The golden-armored young man looked at Su Ping with cold eyes.
Su Ping was dazed for a moment. He was both enlightened and surprised the moment he recognized the armor and the familiar emblem it had engraved. “You’re from the Rain Clan too? Even your prince was killed by me. Who are you? How did you become one of the candidates?”
“What are you talking about?” The golden-armored young man was furious; his eyes were cold. “I’m the 182nd prince of the Rain Clan. Mo Feng, the one you killed, was the 184th prince. He was nothing compared to me, though; this isn’t a place where you can do anything you want. Better watch your mouth!”
“The 182nd prince?”
While stunned for a moment, Su Ping asked out of reflex, “Are the princes of the Rain Clan replaced so frequently?”
“You!”
The Golden-armored young man flew into a rage.
The short child with a big head chuckled. “Hehe, whether or not you have grievances to settle, you still have to abide by the rules. Given your candidate status, you’d better save the trash talk for when you’re fighting. Enter my Oceanic Universe of Clouds now!”
After that, he waved a hand and emitted the extremely terrifying pressure of an emperor. A deep vortex opened up above the plaza, releasing an immeasurable and powerful
aura.
The other seven candidates were silent. They glanced at Su Ping and simply entered the vortex.
The golden-armored young man glared at Su Ping and also entered.
Su Ping followed them closely.
“Let’s go and see his performance. He doesn’t seem to be a pure human being; his aura is ancient and strange. It’s even purer than ours,” said an old man while chuckling, anticipation showing in his eyes; his observation made him curious about Su Ping.
Everybody else flew into the vortex too.
The other end of the vortex turned out to be a vast universe.
It was called the Oceanic Universe of Clouds, the universe that belonged to the child with a huge head.
