Chapter 1230 - 57: Heavenly Fox Bloodline Level (Part 2)

Liu Xueyu had previously been wantonly suppressing the half-beastmen and even purebred Heavenly Foxes from other capitals. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, her right hand would be crippled by someone.

Previously considered a strong contender for the Holy Daughter, Liu Xueyu was forced to withdraw midway, leaving Fengdu one person less.

After the news spread that a substitute half-beast was temporarily found to fill the vacancy, people from other capitals were all waiting to see Fengdu’s joke.

Feeling the mocking gazes from the crowd, Chen Qi, who was concerned about her reputation, felt even more embarrassed.

"It’s all your fault. Someone like you shouldn’t even be here!" Chen Qi wished she could drive Yun Sheng away, but she didn’t dare to go against Elder Liu’s wishes.

She originally wanted to ally with Lu Yunshuang to exclude Yun Sheng, but Lu Yunshuang seemed indifferent to her proposal.

"Stop arguing, the test is starting," Lu Yunshuang glanced at the square, where a Sky Fox Elder had already appeared in the center. The first round of testing, the bloodline test, officially began.

The presiding elder for the first round of testing was the Ninth Elder of the Elder Council, a middle-aged man without a beard.

"Silence! The bloodline test is about to begin. Candidates for the Heavenly Fox Holy Daughter from the ten major capitals, please participate in groups by your capital," the Ninth Elder said in a dignified voice that immediately spread throughout the square as the crowd fell silent.

Yun Sheng noticed the three candidates for the Heavenly Fox Saintess from Hu Capital standing at the front. Among them was Hu Linglong, whom she had seen just days before.

Clad in a bright red Mage Robe, Hu Linglong looked like a fiery blossom, attracting the gaze of everyone present.

Hu Linglong stepped forward confidently and greeted the Ninth Elder.

In front of the Ninth Elder lay a Crystal Ball and a dagger.

The dagger seemed to be sculpted from jade, and the Crystal Ball looked no different from a regular Magic Testing Crystal.

Hu Linglong picked up the dagger and made a cut on her hand.

Not a drop of blood was left on the dagger as Hu Linglong let the blood drip from her finger onto the Crystal Ball.

The originally transparent Crystal Ball changed instantly when Hu Linglong’s blood touched it.

Inside the transparent Crystal Ball appeared a fiery red fox.

The fox’s elegant posture mirrored that of Hu Linglong.

Most striking were the five fiery fluffy Fox Tails behind the fiery red fox.

"Five tails, as expected, Hu Linglong is indeed a five-tailed one," the crowd murmured, knowing that as Hu Qi Qiansui’s daughter, Hu Linglong shared the same lineage with Clan Leader Hu Qiansui as a five-tailed Heavenly Fox, which was already within their expectations.

Soon, the five-tailed fox in the Crystal Ball disappeared.

A five-tailed Heavenly Fox is already a high-level existence among all Heavenly Fox bloodlines, and Hu Linglong, proud as a peacock, walked down afterwards.

After Hu Linglong finished her test, the other candidates for the Heavenly Fox Saintess looked on with envy and jealousy.

Everyone knew that Hu Linglong was the most promising contender to win among the candidates for the Heavenly Fox Saintess, with some saying that this candidate ceremony was just a formality and regardless of the outcome, Hu Linglong would become the Saintess.

Taking advantage of the break before the second candidate’s test, Yun Sheng quietly questioned Lu Yunshuang.

"Are there Heavenly Foxes beyond six tails, like seven tails or eight tails? The more tails, the stronger the power, right?"

Lu Yunshuang gave her an odd look, as if surprised that, as a Heavenly Fox, she didn’t even know such basic knowledge.

"In terms of bloodline, six tails are already the highest. Even the current Heavenly Fox Clan Leader was only a six-tailed Heavenly Fox. Beyond that, there are seven tails and eight tails, but that isn’t due to bloodline; it’s from increased cultivation and additional Fox Tails," Lu Yunshuang explained with a cold expression.

More Fox Tails doesn’t necessarily mean stronger power; it indicates greater potential.

Because each additional tail signifies the ability to learn another Sky Fox Inheritance.

Seeing Yun Sheng’s strength, Lu Yunshuang assumed she at least knew these things, but she was completely unaware.

More Fox Tails mean more Sky Fox Inheritances to learn?

Yun Sheng listened, and the frown from the Heavenly Fox bloodline test on her forehead suddenly eased.

"Does this mean if a Heavenly Fox learns multiple Sky Fox Inheritances, it indicates she’s a certain number of tails?" Yun Sheng considered she had independently comprehended two Sky Fox Inheritances earlier. Later, she learned the Yama Fox Claw and Fox Shadow Traceless, totaling four Sky Fox Inheritances.

Worried about not knowing her bloodline level, Yun Sheng was genuinely concerned she might not pass the first round.

After speaking, Lu Yunshuang looked away.

Yun Sheng exhaled deeply; this meant at worst she was a four-tailed Heavenly Fox, and at least she might escape the fate of elimination in the first round.

But then Yun Sheng thought of another issue.

"So does that mean a four-tailed Heavenly Fox, after mastering four Sky Fox Inheritances, can’t learn any more?" Yun Sheng asked again.

"In theory, yes," said Lu Yunshuang, who wouldn’t have bothered with Yun Sheng’s trivial questions if they weren’t already allies.

In her mind, Yun Sheng groaned, realizing she shouldn’t have carelessly learned four inheritances. If she truly is a four-tailed Heavenly Fox, it would mean she couldn’t learn more Sky Fox Inheritances?

It wasn’t that Yun Sheng’s current inheritances were lacking, but having one more inheritance was no burden.

However, if other Heavenly Fox Saintesses heard Yun Sheng’s thoughts, they’d be furious.

Most had difficulty learning even one Sky Fox Inheritance, yet for Yun Sheng, it was as easy as drinking water, inevitably causing others to feel unbalanced.

"But there are exceptions, like when her strength increases and she gains more Fox Tails, she can naturally learn another inheritance," Lu Yunshuang added, seeing Yun Sheng’s distressed look.

Just then, a commotion erupted in the square.

"What a shameless creature, daring to take the test like this!"

Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang looked forward.

The Ninth Elder was angrily rebuking a Heavenly Fox candidate for the Saintess position, a tall and voluptuous young Heavenly Fox.

She was trembling, holding the dagger in her hand.

Yun Sheng saw clearly that the jade dagger was glowing red.

Earlier, when Hu Linglong and other Heavenly Fox candidates cut their hands with the dagger, no blood touched it. But when this young Heavenly Fox’s blood contacted the dagger, it triggered an anomaly.
