Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766: Chapter 789 Blood Ancestor [First Update]

"Someone actually scored 90 points? Heavens, how could this be..." Meng Xue exclaimed in shock. She turned to Wu Tian. "Compared to the person who scored 90, don’t you feel inadequate?"

"No," Wu Tian replied, shaking his head with a smile.

"No?" Meng Xue was startled. Does he have such thick skin?

But seeing Wu Tian’s self-satisfied look, she suddenly realized something. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stammered, "You... your name isn’t Wu Tian, is it?"

Wu Tian nodded.

"What? He’s Wu Tian?"

"That person scored 90 points? First place?"

"The only one who qualified here?"

The other examinees were stunned. Moments ago, they had been boasting that if this man placed first, they would jump off a cliff, hang themselves, or smash their heads into a wall. Now, they felt like utter clowns, completely disgraced.

Meng Xue felt the same way. How mortifying...

Meng Tian and Bo Gu looked at Wu Tian at the same time. The cave was dark, making it difficult to see clearly. Bo Gu approached with a candle, and in its flickering light, Wu Tian’s features gradually came into focus.

"You... you are..."

When the examinees finally saw Wu Tian’s face clearly, a wave of shock went through them. Unlike the isolated Blood Refiners, they lived out in the world, in the Xiuyuan Country. And in this nation, who didn’t know the name Wu Tian? Who wouldn’t recognize his face? He was young and accomplished in both scholarly and martial pursuits. Though he appeared gentle, who under the heavens would dare underestimate him?

The examinees immediately fell silent, bowing their heads one by one, terrified of offending Wu Tian.

Bo Gu, Meng Tian, and Meng Xue, however, had no idea what the name ’Wu Tian’ represented. They simply felt that Wu Tian was the hope of the Blood Refiners.

Bo Gu took a deep breath, looked at Wu Tian, and suddenly said, "Young man, have you truly thought through your decision to become a Blood Refiner? There is still a chance to back out."

"Oh?" Wu Tian raised an eyebrow. "Elder, why do you make becoming a Blood Refiner sound as perilous as climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a sea of fire?"

"That’s right. It is exactly like climbing a mountain of knives and plunging into a sea of fire." To Wu Tian’s surprise, Bo Gu answered with the utmost seriousness. "A Blood Refiner dedicates their entire life to the Path of Blood Refinement, potentially spending a lifetime researching an unknown technique that may never succeed. Can you endure that kind of loneliness?"

"..." Wu Tian was silent.

Meng Tian added, "Yes, you must think this over carefully. I’m only in my forties, but there are times I feel like I’m about to go mad. Death would probably be a relief compared to researching the Path of Blood Refinement."

Meng Xue felt the same. Even though she disliked Wu Tian, she still hoped he would pursue the Path of Blood Refinement to increase their chances of success. But she knew the path of research was not an easy one to walk; it could drive a living person to madness.

"Actually, things aren’t as you imagine," Wu Tian said. He suddenly found himself warming up to these people. They were kind enough to warn him beforehand, a display of good character that made them quite likable.

But Wu Tian’s statement only made Bo Gu and the others shake their heads, thinking him young and reckless.

"Now, give me the collected works of your Blood Refiners," Wu Tian said. "Then, I will begin creating the Art of Blood Refinement."

Are they kidding? I have no interest in spending a lifetime researching something that can be created in a couple of hours. That would be insane.

"The Art of Blood Refinement you’re talking about is..." Bo Gu trailed off, taken aback.

"The complete Art of Blood Refinement, of course," Wu Tian replied casually, but his words made everyone present stagger.

They were dumbfounded, nearly toppling to the ground.

Is he serious? He can’t be joking, can he?

Meng Tian couldn’t help but wonder, Is the Art of Blood Refinement truly about to be born into this world?
