ANNOUCEMENT!
15 CHAPTERS OF MY BTTH FANFIC IS AFTER THIS CHAPTER COMPLETES!
*
It took Chen Feng three days to return to Heaven Dou City.
However, he did not return to Shrek Academy immediately, instead, he had a bold idea, he will appear in front of everyone with a different identity.
The Netherworld Sky Tiger's Spirit Bone gave him two Abilities. The first is *Netherworld Golden Body*, which makes him immune to all physical attacks for 5 seconds and it can be used 5 times a day.
The second Ability is called *Disguise*, it allows him to change his figure, appearance, even his Martial Spirit and Spirit Ring can be changed at will.
Although this Ability does not have any offensive power, it is very useful as it can frighten and fool people. Before he had fooled Qian Renxue by telling her about the Eight Ancient Clans, now, all he has to do is make that story more credible by showing a powerhouse from the Eight Ancient Clans.
He bought a few sets of clothes suitable for middle-aged and elderly men before transforming himself into a vigorous old man with an appearance 30% similar to Chen Feng's.
...
After the Qualifiers ended, Shrek Academy took advantage of the one-month resting period to undergo special training conducted by the Grandmaster. The Grandmaster called the training 'Potential Stimulating' Training
What is potential stimulation? When an individual is under pressure, they can explode with greater power than usual.
This so-called potential stimulation special training is to make the Seven Shrek Devils fight Liu Erlong. Liu Erlong's Spirit Power Rank is lower than that of Flender's and Zhao Wuji's, but her attacks are stronger than theirs. When she fights, she suppresses her opponent and gives them no room to recover.
The Seven Shrek Devils were slowly squeezing out their potential under Liu Erlong's stormy attacks every day.
Today is the last day of their special training. They have already discussed a way to deal with Liu Erlong. As long as they cooperate properly, then it is highly likely that Liu Erlong is defeated.
In the woods outside Shrek Academy, the Seven Shrek Devils and Liu Erlong had already taken their positions, Grandmaster and Flender were watching them not far away.
"Little Devils, begin when you're ready." Liu Erlong said lightly.
"Girl, how about letting this old man try the strength of these little guys?" At this moment, a burst of faint laughter sounded, shortly afterwards, Chen Feng appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.
The moment when Chen Feng appeared, everyone immediately became vigilant. Liu Erlong cautiously asked, "Who are you?"
"Who is this old man? I will tell you later, for now, let this old man test these little kids' strengths." Chen Feng smiled faintly as he looked over everyone.
"Don't tell me that you are stronger than this Lady." Liu Erlong with her violent temper did not even wait for the old man to respond, she directly possessed her Martial Spirit and charged at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng flicked his right hand, the resulting surging energy fluctuation left space distorted. Liu Erlong, who was charging over, was directly pressed to the ground.
"Erlong!" Grandmaster and Flender rushed over immediately.
The surging energy was fleeting, by the time Grandmaster and Flender arrived, Liu Erlong had stood up again.
"Who are you, Senior? Why are you embarrassing us juniors?" Flender asked politely. The moment the old man made a move and from observing the effect of that move, he knew that he was not this old man is stronger than them.
"I don't want to embarrass anyone; I just want to see the little kids' strengths." Chen Feng replied lightly.
"Since Senior insists on doing this, then I apologise for offending you." Flender and Liu Erlong looked at each other, and at the same time, they got into their positions, forming a triangle formation.
"Golden Iron Triangle, form!" Flender shouted, he did not release his Martial Spirit, but his body shot an intense golden light shot into the sky.
The same light also appeared on Grandmaster and Liu Erlong's body, the golden light permeated among them as well, the light fused and formed a golden triangle. The innermost part of the triangle has a golden aperture and all around it are various complicated patterns.
"Little guys, step back, In the meantime, I will have a 'discussion' with your teachers." Chen Feng said to Tang San and the others, he wanted to take this opportunity to see the Golden Iron Triangle's strength.
"Everyone, get back," Tang San ordered in a low voice, he then dragged everyone back to the distance.
The golden light became more and more dazzling, Grandmaster's cold eyes became bright as he slowly raised and stretched out his right hand toward the centre of the golden triangle formed by them.
"Luo San Pao." Grandmaster roared, and the chubby Luo San Pao appeared out of thin air, he fell in the ring pattern in the centre of the golden triangle.
Suddenly, their Spirit Rings floated out at the same time. Three from Grandmaster, seven from Flender and seven from Liu Erlong, a total of 17 Spirit Rings fell on Luo San Pao's body at the same time, Luo San Pao let out a draconic roar in response as his body began to rapidly swell and become larger.
Luo San Pao's body began to grow larger and form large diamond-shaped scales, his solid muscles bulged, and his huge body continued to expand. In just a few breaths, he had become 20 metres long and the scales on his back broke apart, making way for a pair of huge, dragon wings.
"Seems like it can only contend with an Ordinary Titled Douluo for a short period." Chen Feng analysed the strength displayed thus far and concluded that the Golden Saint Dragon is weaker than the Unrivalled Dragon Serpent.
"Unexpectedly, the Martial Spirit Fusion Ability of the two Deans and Grandmaster is so powerful." Ma Hongjun said in shock, the power of the Golden Saint Dragon made him tremble slightly.
"Don't you think this old man is a bit familiar?" Tang San frowned.
"Yeah, he seems to be a bit familiar," Oscar said.
"Junior, since you want to do this, then this old man will follow you all the way." Chen Feng pretended to be a senior, he inwardly sighed:
"Pretending to be cool and showing off feels nice."
"Netherworld God Tiger, possession."
A tiny dark golden light bloomed from the centre of Chen Feng's eyebrows before it flooded his body, it caused his muscles to swell and claws to pop out his fingertips.
Nine Red Spirit Rings rose from the soles of Chen Feng's feet they began to rotate with him the centre of the rotation.
Yes, Nine Spirit Rings and all of them are Red Spirit Rings.
Since he has needs to show off and ac like an expert, then he will act to the end. He used his *Disguise* Ability to turn his Seven Spirit Rings into Nine and turned all of them into Red, 100,000 Year Spirit Rings.
But a disguise is a disguise, after all, it is merely an illusion without any substantive power, thus, he cannot use any of his first 5 Spirit Abilities as his friends are familiar with them and the illusion will not change them. Leaving him with the Spirit Abilities from his Sixth and Seventh Spirit Rings, both are Red and are 100,000 Year Spirit Rings and do not need to be disguised since no one has seen them before.
"Nine 100,000 Year Spirit Rings, this... How can this be? "Tang San's pupils constricted; he could not believe his eyes.
"How did we provoke such a terrifying existence?" Dai Mubai asked solemnly.
"He does not seem to hold malicious intent towards us though." Zhu Zhuqing commented.
"His Martial Spirit is like Brother Feng's; his Spirit is a Netherworld God Tiger, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Brother Feng. Maybe he is an Elder of Brother Feng's Clan." Oscar stated.
"Isn't Brother Feng an orphan?" Ma Hongjun frowned.
"Maybe for some reason, Brother Feng was left behind or sent out, and now someone from his Clan has found him," Ning Rongrong speculated.
"If this is the case, Brother Feng's Clan must be a behemoth, but in the entire Continent, I have never heard of such a large power." Ma Hongjun swallowed.
Without Chen Feng explaining anything to them, Tang San and others had already made up a lot of 'truths'.
"Xiaogang, are we still going to fight him?" Flender saw the Nine Red Spirit Rings the old man had released immediately felt a little timid. Usual Titled Douluo did not even have One 100,000 Year Spirit Ring let alone Nine!
"How could there be such a Spirit Ring Configuration? Even if his body can bear it, how can he find so many 100,000 Year Spirit Beasts?" Grandmaster frowned.
"Don't think so much, currently, there is only one decision we have to make, to fight, or to not fight." Liu Erlong interrupted.
Grandmaster nodded slightly, his gestures changed, Luo San Pao let out a roar, his wings spread out, his mouth suddenly opened, golden lightning blasted towards Chen Feng.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, *Netherworld God Tiger True Body*."
Chen Feng's Seventh Spirit Ring emitted bright red light, in response, Chen Feng's body quickly enlarged. Dark golden fur appeared as he turned into an 8-9 long, 3-metre-tall giant tiger.
Facing the golden lightning of the Golden Saint Dragon, Chen Feng did not dodge, he lit it hit him.
There was a loud rumble as the golden lightning spread down from his head to his tail. Chen Feng merely felt himself become slightly numb and a minor itch, nothing else.
"Junior, use your strongest moves. Such an attack only tickles me." Chen Feng said.
As a Spirit Master, they all have their pride. The three became agitated by Chen Feng's words, even if they could not defeat him, they will fight to the end.
The golden light appeared again as Grandmaster, Flender and Liu Erlong spewed a mouthful of blood at the same time, it landed on the circle in the centre of the golden triangle. In a moment, their blood merged into a golden light, like lightning, it fell onto Luo San Pao's body.
"*True Golden Dragon*!" The golden light emitted by Luo San Pao burned like a flame, the draconic roars became louder as the golden flames condensed into another transparent dragon that charged straight at the old man in front of them.
Chen Feng opened his largemouth. The inside of his mouth was not red but a deep, dark, black. When the transparent dragon shadow reached him, he devoured it in one bite.
"Hm… it tastes nice."
Chen Feng burped as if he was digesting the transparent dragon shadow he had just devoured.
What he just used the Devouring Power he had condensed in his Second Soul Core, the Devouring Power is tremendously powerful, it can swallow any energy attack, but rests on only one condition, it cannot exceed his endurance's limit. But with his current Physical Fitness and the rate at which he grows, hardly any attack apart from maybe Qian Douliu, Bo Saixi and Tang Chen's can exceed his limit.
"How is this possible?" Grandmaster said in horror, they had attacked him with their strongest Ability, yet it was devoured so easily by the other party.
"Is this the strength of a Nine 100,000 Year Spirit Ring Titled Douluo? We do not even have the qualifications to make the other party serious." Flender smiled bitterly.

Cultivation Ranks:
1 Dou Zhi Qi
Battle Disciple- The very beginning of Dou Cultivation.
2 Dou Zhe
Battle Practitioner/Fighter- Upon reaching this stage, a Dou Fighter can truly utilise the Dou Qi within their own bodies.
3 Dou Shi
Battle/ Fighting Master- Once this stage is attained, a Fighter can use the Dou Qi in their body to form a cloak giving increased defensive strength.
4 Da Dou Shi
Battle Grandmaster/Great Fighter-It is at this point when a Practitioner's Dou Qi becomes hard enough to form an armament.
5 Dou Ling
Battle Spirit-It's considered a decent enough state to be in where a person's Dou Qi will solidify and it becomes possible to apply it to other objects.
6 Dou Wang
Battle King-At the time when a person reaches this stage, they will be able to form Dou Qi wings and even draw Dou Qi from around themselves. While this amount is not very large, it can still be useful in a fight.
7 Dou Huang
Battle Emperor- A step into the realm of the truly strong is attained once one reaches this stage. These existences can draw on massive amounts of Dou Qi from the area and briefly hold themselves in the air without wings.
8 Dou Zong
Battle Ancestor- A pinnacle existence among most minor clans, a Dou Zong gains the ability to utilise the mysterious 'Spatial Strength' to do things like hold oneself in air or even create locks in space, where a person can only escape after breaking the lock. However, this method exhausts a vast amount of Dou Qi.
9 Dou Zun
Battle Venerate- A strong person no matter where one goes, the Dou Zun gains an almost perfect knowledge of the so-called 'Spatial Strength', and is able to use it in a far more versatile manner than any Dou Zong ever could. This class is characterised by the ability to form wormholes (Gaps in spacetime).
10 Ban Sheng
Half-Saint- This is a transitional stage of the higher level cultivation realms. It is not considered a true Dou State , but is still necessary to enter the extremely strong Dou Sheng class. It is divided into the lower, intermediate, and high levels.
11 Dou Sheng
Dou Saint- A peak existence among even top tier powerhouses, the Dou Sheng is a realm so broken that logic starts to fail here. A One Star Dou Sheng can easily overpower dozens of Ban Sheng, a two star can easily defeat a one star, and so on. Upon attaining the sixth star, a Practitioner can open a separate realm for others to inhabit, and the seventh can utilise all the Dou Qi within those realms, effectively becoming the world. A Nine Star Dou Sheng is representative of the peak of the world, with no other existence coming close to that. Any casual action of a Dou Sheng can demolish cities, shatter mountains, and destroy space itself.
12 Dou Di
Battle Sovereign/God- The Dou Di is a mythical ranking, high above all others.

Chapter 1 God Made A Joke Of Me
The bright sun shone down on a river, on the bank of this river, sat a 5-6-year-old child on top of a boulder. The seemingly frustrated child picked up a stone and threw it into the river, creating layers of waves and ripples.
"It's been almost 6 years now! God, why have you played me so dirty!"
This child's name is Hun Han, he is the thirteenth son of the famous Hun Tian Di.
Who is Hun Tian Di? He is one of the strongest people in the entire Dou Qi Plane. A super powerhouse who is a Nine Star Dou Sheng. In the near future, he will become the first to break through the mythical boundary called the Dou Di Realm!
It stands to reason that since Hun Han is the son of such a great figure, he should suffer no setbacks and be living the life of a second-generation with a diamond spoon in his mouth.
However, Hun Han did not live such a luxurious life.
In the Dou Qi Continent, might makes right, and the strong are respected, while the weak are destined to be enslaved and used as the Strong's tools. What's more, is that the Clan which Hun Han was born into, has taken this truth to an even higher level!
Hun Han is worse than Xiao Yan, though both of them are reincarnated individuals, both live very different lives. Xiao Yan is a genius, albeit a fallen one that will rise like a comet soon. He, on the other hand, is trash, actual trash. Unlike his peers, he cannot detect any Dou Qi at all, nor can he absorb it, meaning he cannot cultivate!
After all, cultivation is all based on Dou Qi, without it, you are nothing but an ant!
It has been six years. For the past six years, Hun Han has lived a bad life, all because he cannot absorb nor detect Dou Qi.
"Haah! Damn you!"
The more Hun Han thought about it, the more annoyed and frustrated he became. He grabbed a stone beside him and threw it into the river in front of him fiercely. He raised his middle finger, pointed at the sky, and roared in a gloomy voice: "God, since you did me dirty and played me so hard, then you can take this and curse all 18 of your Generations!"
In his previous life, Hun Han was an ordinary person from China, despite being ordinary, at least he did not have to worry about food, clothing, safety, and travel, he could even have a barbecue with his friends from time to time. His life could have been described as great and fulfilling.
Now that he has reincarnated into the Dou Qi Continent, he may have no worries about food and clothing for the time being, but in this world where power is respected and where strength decides everything, your present and your future, he is at risk of losing everything! Not to mention that he is the son of the notorious, Great Demon Hun Tian Di, just because of his relationship with that figure, countless eyes are staring at every single of his actions!
In other words, the current Hun Han is worrying about his bleak future and life of living like an ant in a world where a sneeze from a person of a higher Realm can wipe you out of existence!
Rumble~
Suddenly, the cloudless sky crackled with lightning as clouds appeared out of nowhere.
"What, so I cannot even curse you back now?! That is it! If you want to, let's go, I am not afraid of you!!" Hun Han roared, he knew that with his mediocre talent, and the fact that he is living in a world where might makes right, then there is no point of even living, so Hun Han cursed, insulted, and pointed at the Heavens without fear.
Boom!
It seemed that the Heavens sensed Hun Han's desire, and planned to fulfil it by smiting him. In the sky, a silver pike cut through the void and fell straight towards Hun Han.
"Young Master, be careful!"
In the forest beside the river, a charming voice sounded. Immediately afterwards, a black shadow could be seen rushing towards Hun Han, intent on blocking that silver lightning pike that was going to hit her Young Master.
However, it was too late.
"Uh!"
Hun Han looked dumbfounded, he could feel the lightning penetrate his very being, it destroyed everything in its way, leaving him charred. He opened his mouth and a wisp of black smoke emerged from it.
"Damn it, I did not mean it!"
Hun Han was speechless, a tingling sensation spread all over his body. The faint silver lightning continued to linger above his body.
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations, the System is fully charged, the Sign In System has been fully activated!"
"Young Master, are you okay?"
A sound like a Nightingale sounded in Hun Han's ears.
"Sign In System, what the hell? Is this my Golden Finger?" Hun Han wondered when he heard the sound ring in his ear, he was extremely surprised.
"Ding Dong!"
"The System has successfully downloaded the Novel, Battle Through the Heavens!"
"Ding Dong!"
"The System warmly reminds that this System has three functions: Timed Sign In, Location Sign In, and Character Sign In! Would you like an introduction to each of these functions?"
"Damn, I have an intelligent System! Introduce the functions!" Hun Han commanded.
"Ding Dong!"
"Timed Sign In Function: whenever a certain amount of time passes, the Host can Sign In to obtain a fixed item. The next Sign In time is 1 minute!"
"Location Sign In Function: Whenever the Host arrives at a specified location, you can Sign In and obtain rewards from Missions issued by the System and get fixed items."
"Character Sign In Function: Whenever the Host has physical contact with an important character from the plot, the Host can automatically complete the Sign In Mission and obtain random items. This function can only be used once per character."
"Hahaha..."
Hun Han burst out laughing, he was excited: "I finally have a golden finger!"
Undoubtedly, this Sign In System is compensation for the 6 years he suffered. With this Golden Finger, in the future, Hun Han has the capital to compete with the proud sons of Heaven, especially with Xiao Yan.
"Goldfinger?"
The figure who was standing in front of Hun Han looked down at Hun Han's hands. She found that his fingers were extremely dark, what Golden Finger was he talking about?
The figure's eyes expressed her unease, she held Hun Han's fingers, and said anxiously: "Young Master, what's wrong with you, don't scare Aunt Qin!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations, for having physical contact with Qin Lan, the Sign In was successful. Obtained: Nether Ghost Shadow!"
Nether Ghost Shadow: Middle-Level Xuan Class Agility Dou Technique, this technique enables one to form infinite mirage bodies, to be like a ghost and be as fast as the wind. When Great Perfection Realm of this Technique is reached, it will be difficult to distinguish between the true body and the false one.
"What!"
Hun Han's eyes widened, he stared dumbly at the black-clothed woman in front of him. Their hands had touched, and just because of that, he had obtained an Agility Dou Technique of the Middle Xuan Class!
The woman had delicate eyebrows, apricot face and wore a tight black dress that perfectly outlines her convex and concave figure.
Hun Han's heart began to sway because she was holding him.
This woman's name is Qin Lan, she is Hun Han's personal guard. Ever since Hun Han could remember, Qin Lan has been by his side all the time, silently guarding him.
Hun Han smiled slightly and said with a smile: "Aunt Qin, don't worry, I'm fine!"
Qin Lan still did not let go, she asked in a concerned tone: "Young Master, what nonsense were you speaking just now, what do you mean by... Goldfinger?"
Hun Han shook his head slightly. It will be very troublesome if she finds out about the System, so he simply glossed over it, he said with a smile: "Aunt Qin, just know that form know on, I, Hun Han will rise!
"Uh Huh!"
Qin Lan did not understand Hun Han's words at all, she checked Hun Han's body, and saw that he was fine, thus she curiously asked: "Young Master, what was the thunder and lightning just now?"
"It was merely a guy who can't get it up!" Hun Han said casually with a smile.
Boom!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended, this turned the already dark Hun Han, completely black like coal.
"Did you see it? I was talking about this!" Hun Han explained to Qin Lan with smoke emerging from his mouth.
"Uh Huh!"
Qin Lan looked at Hun Han in amazement. If it were to another ordinary person with no cultivation, that bolt of thunder and lightning would be enough to kill them. Even an expert in the Da Dou Shi Realm would be seriously injured if they did not die beneath the lightning's attacks.
On the other hand, Hun Han, except that he was a little scorched and as black as charcoal, was as healthy as he could get.
Qin Lan thought that Hun Han had some special physique, so she did not think much about it at the moment. She suddenly thought of something, and anxiously said: "Young Master, hurry! You must take the test! If you miss it, it will be too late to regret it!"

Chapter 2 The Hun Clan's Fate Deciding Test
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations, time is up, do you want to Sign In immediately? Through this Sign In, the Host can obtain a box of Foundation Building Lollipops!"
"Sign In!" While walking, Hun Han responded. As long as there is a reward, he can obtain by Signing In, then only a fool will not Sign In!
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations, you signed in successfully, and obtained the item: a box of Foundation Building Lollipops!"
Foundation Building lollipops: there are 50 lollipops in a box. Among the Heavens and all the Realms, this is Taishang Laojun's latest invention, a medicinal item that is gentler than the Foundation Building Pill and Foundation Building Spirit Liquid. After eating it, the Dou Qi within will nourish the internal organs and strengthen the physique. Also, it is moderately sweet and can last a long time! So, get licking!
"Uhh…"
Hun Han said to himself, the items he obtained from Signing In for the first time were so strange. It turned out to be...a box of lollipops.
Okay, he will forgive the System. After all, he is at the correct age (6 years old) to be eating candy.
Hun Han brought his attention to the System Panel; he saw that there were 30 minutes before the next Timed Sign In.
"Ding Dong!"
"The System releases a Sign In Mission. Please Sign In at the Hun Clan's Dark Soul Stone Tablet. Do you accept the Sign In Mission?"
"Ding Dong!"
"The System warmly reminds that the Host is the owner of the System and has the right to refuse to receive Missions. If you refuse this Mission, then System will give another Location Sign In Mission one month later."
"Ding Dong!"
"The System reminds that as the number of times the Host refuses a Mission increases, then the interval between the issue of the next Location Sign In Mission will become longer and longer!"
"Accept!" Hun Han responded inwardly.
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations, you have successfully accepted the Location Sign In Mission. Please Sign In at the Hun Clan's Dark Soul Stone Tablet. This Mission has an unlimited time limit!"
Soon, Hun Han passed through the small forest and came to a white marble-paved square. The square is not small, it covers an area spanning thousands of square metres. The square has a sea of people standing in it, order is kept by a group of men in black standing on the edge of the square. The Men In Black have a badge on their chests, inscribed on the badge a strange flame pattern, it is visible yet not at the same time. Above the pattern, are 4 black ripples.
The Hun Clan is one of the Eight Ancient Clans, there is a distinct hierarchy in the Clan. A black ripple represents that the individual is a Dou Zhe, 4 black ripples indicate that the men who are keeping order are Dou Ling's.
Since he had read the Novel, Battle Through The Heavens, Hun Han knew that the reason the Xiao Clan was the leader of the 4 Major Clans in Wu Tan City, was because their Patriarch was a Dou Ling. Currently, on the edge of this white marble square, there are as many as thousands of Hun Clan Clansmen who are maintaining order, and all of them, are at a minimum, powerhouses at the Dou Ling Stage.
Of course, as the thirteenth son of Hun Tian Di, Hun Han knew that these Dou Ling Stage Clansmen are merely cannon fodder in the huge Hun Clan. They are only used to maintain order among the hundreds of millions of ordinary Hun Clansmen living in the Hun Clan Realm.
"Look, there he is!"
A scornful and mocking voice could be heard as Hun Han appeared. Afterwards, the eyes of most of the people focused on Hun Han.
"I don't know who cursed the Patriarch. His son is trash!"
"Yes, I envy him for having the Patriarch as his Father. Even trash like him can continue to stay in this rich place!"
"However, after today, his luck will have ended. Even the Patriarch's son, as long as his Talent is too poor, he will be assigned to some random area. With his identity, he should be able to become a City Lord!"
"Hehe, even if he becomes a City Lord, so what? I heard that the Patriarch does not seem to like his thirteenth son. The City Lord who cannot cultivate will not be able to protect himself. It will not be long before he dies!"
...
The voices around him are not loud. However, because Hun Han reincarnated, his senses are much sharper than ordinary people. Thus, Hun Han heard all the things these people said.
These people, however, are stating a fact. Even the declined Xiao Clan if a Clan Member does not become a Dou Zhe by the age of 16, then they are sent out to manage the Clan's various businesses. As for the Hun Clan, its rules are a hundred times harsher than that of the Xiao Clan.
When a child is born, they remain in the Hun Clan Realm's Imperial Capital, when they reach the age of 6, if their Talent and Cultivation Rank does not meet the Clan's requirements, then they are transferred to another location in the Hun Clan Realm, they are to manage that place, some children, are even sent outside to work for Soul Hall.
Qin Lan was right. Today is indeed an important day for Hun Han. Today, his Cultivation Rank and Talent will be tested, and the area he will be transferred to will be determined.
Of course, he can be transferred to an area to gain experience, after becoming strong enough, he could return and fight for the position of Youn Master, but if he does not have enough Talent and Cultivation Rank, then he is destined to wallow in misery as he watches the others surpass and trample upon him, this fate applies to everyone, even the Patriarch's son.
If his Cultivation Base and Talent reach the requirements, then he will be eligible to continue to stay in Imperial Capital and obtain key resources.
"Hun Sheng, 5 Star Dou Zhi Qi; Bloodline, Grade 5! "
Hun Shan, 8 Star Dou Zhi Qi; Bloodline, Grade 6!" "
Hun Wei, 7 Star Dou Zhi Qi; Bloodline, Grade 5!" "
...
At the foot of the hillside beside the square, stood a shiny black stone Stele. This is the Hun Clan's Dark Soul Stele; this is the place which Hun Han is supposed to Sign In.
Stood next to it is an old man, on the Dark Soul Stele, there is an array that displays light of different intensities. The brighter and more intense the light, the higher the talent. The Bloodline can be divided into Grades 1-9, with 1 being the poorest and 9 being the highest, though legend has it that above the Grade 9 Bloodline, is the most perfect, Grade 10, Dou Di Bloodline.
Another descendent of Hun Tian Di tested, Hun Han discovered that among the direct descendants, the lowest Cultivation Base was 7 Star Dou Zhi Qi, and the lowest Grade Bloodline thus far is Grade 5.
"Next, Hun Feng!"
"Hun Feng?"
Hun Han licked his lollipop and looked at the Dark Soul Stele ahead.
He saw that a child who was not much different from him in height, stepped onto the white marble steps leading to the Stone Stele. Finally, before everyone, his fingers lightly touched the Dark Soul Stele.
Suddenly, on the Dark Soul Stele, four large golden characters lit up: Two Star Dou Zhe!
"What!"
"He is a 2 Star Dou Zhe!"
"He is 6 years old, yet he is a 2 Star Dou Zhe and has condensed the Dou Qi Cyclone. What a Talent, it is true that a tiger Father does not beget a dog son!"
Xiao Yan was 11 years old when he had become a 1 Star Dou Zhe, yet Hun Feng here, a 6-year-old had become a 2 Star Dou Zhe.
It must be known that it is difficult for most people to cultivate to become a Dou Zhe, most people, throughout their lives, remain stuck as a Dou Zhi Qi, forever unable to cross the bottleneck and become a Dou Zhe.
However, if Hun Feng's Cultivation Base is so high, then what will his Bloodline Grade be?
Om…
Sure enough, as the test continued, black ripples appeared on the Dark Soul Stone Stele. Immediately, the black ripples grew more and more in number.
"1, 2...6...9..."
The ripples of the Dark Soul Stone Tablet steadily reached 9 before their very eyes.
9 ripples, in other words, Hun Feng has a Grade 9 Bloodline.
After that, the Dark Soul Stone Tablet hummed once more, it was a while before another ripple appeared. A subtle pressure swept towards the surroundings.
"10 ripples! Dou Di Bloodline!"
All the Clansmen stared at Hun Feng with fiery eyes.
"Hun Feng, 2 Star Dou Zhe; Bloodline, Grade 10 Dou Di!"
"Next, Hun Han!"

Chapter 3 First Location Sign In
As the old man's voice fell, Hun Feng's expression remained indifferent, with his special identity, he seemed to have become accustomed to these eyes. He remained cold without any changes in his expression whatsoever. He slowly turned around and stepped down the steps of the altar.
Only, the moment when he passed Hun Han, his eyes turned to him, there was a touch of mockery in his eyes as well as a touch of complacency.
Hm~
Although Hun Han is Hun Feng's thirteenth brother; they are more like strangers with each other, nothing like siblings at all.
Not only Hun Han and Hun Feng, but also the other children of Hun Tian Di are like this. Even if they are polite on the surface, it is unknown how many times they have plotted against the other party. All this was for the struggle of the seat of Young Master, the future Patriarch of the Hun Clan!
"Look, he finally went up!"
"After so many years, I still sense no Dou Qi from him, it's really surprising!"
"Who can say it is not, even an ordinary descendant of our Hun Clan can cultivate and at a minimum become a Dou Zhe. However, he cannot even breakthrough to become a Dou Zhi Qi, even a chicken should be able to defeat him!"
"Wait, what is that thing in his hand?"
On the square, everyone was discussing Hun Han. It seemed that they, who were not as Talented as Hun Feng, could find a sense of superiority by ridiculing Hun Han. As for Hun Han, he has long become accustomed to things like this. It was not long before they noticed the strange thing in Hun Han's hand.
Even until now, Hun Han had never ceased licking the lollipop.
Due to his identity as the thirteenth son of Hun Tian Di, the ridicule and experience he had was very different from Xiao Yan's. The Hun Clansmen could only lower their heads and whisper about him, they did not dare to speak loudly.
Hun Han's expression remained still, he stepped and stood by the side of the Dark Soul Stele. Hun Han could not help but feel ripples emerge in his heart. Finally, he can complete his first Mission, his first Location Sign In Mission.
Before the public's eyes, Hun Han held the Foundation Building Lollipop in one hand, and slowly touched the Dark Soul Stone Tablet with the other. Immediately afterwards, the Dark Soul Stele lit up and emitted a slight light. On the Dark Soul Stele, a few words appeared: 1 Star Dou Zhi Qi!
Uh~
Everyone was stunned. Afterwards, the derisive statements continued:
"Yes, yes, congratulations, Lord Hun Han, you can finally temper your body with Dou Qi!"
"Yes, Lord Hun Han, keep working hard. I believe you will be able to become a Dou Zhe one day!"
"Lord Hun Han, It took you 6 years to become a 1 Star Dou Zhi Qi, I think it will take you 60 years to become a Dou Zhe! Congratulations!"
With the words' appearance on the Dark Soul Stone Tablet, the surrounding Clansmen congratulated Hun Han one by one.
Hmph!
Hun Han looked unmoved and replied to the "blessings" indifferently. As if everything has nothing to do with him.
These seemingly supportive words were in reality, mocking him in disguise.
After all, any of the direct descendants have a minimum Cultivation Base of 7 Star Dou Zhi Qi, while he, Hun Han has the lowest 1 Star.
Because of this, Hun Han was in no hurry. He continued licking more than half of the Foundation Building Lollipop, he calculated and found the licking half the lollipop had increased his Cultivation Base to 1 Star Dou Zhi Qi, giving him his first breakthrough in 6 years.
Every time Hun Han licked the Foundation Building Lollipop, Hun Han could feel sweet energy flow down his throat, infiltrating his blood, and then moisturising his internal organs.
He still had 49 such lollipops remaining, breaking through to become a Dou Zhe is only a matter of time.
On the one hand, the old man of the Hun Clan who was in charge of the test looked at the calm Hun Han, and analysed inwardly: Unexpectedly, this child's mind is so tough. Faced with these comments, even an adult would experience changes in their emotions, he has experienced no change at all. It is a pity, this Talent is...it's...it's...really...too useless! Why did his unattainable Father and Mother give birth to a trash son?
The old man of the Hun clan sighed lightly without any changes on his face, he said loudly: "Hun Han, 1 Star Dou Zhi Qi; Bloodline, none!"
Bloodline, none!
That's right, there was no fluctuation in the space around the Dark Soul Stele. This shows that there is no trace of the Dou Di Bloodline in Hun Han's body. In other words, Hun Han is an ordinary person with barely any Talent.
Bloodline, none!
As the authoritative voice of the old Hun Clan Clansmen fell, the surroundings were silent. It is just that the ridicule in each of their eyes had become thicker. Due to his identity and to give face to Hun Tian Di, none of them outwardly ridiculed him, they all wanted to laugh and talk about how funny this was but did not dare to.
"Ding Dong!"
"Would you like to Sign In at the Hun Clan's Dark Soul Stone Tablet?"
"Sign in!"
Without any hesitation, Hun Han signed in immediately.
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations, Host has completed the Location Sign In Mission, Sign In at the Dark Soul Stone Tablet of the Hun Clan, Host has obtained: Saint Grade Bloodline."
"Ding Dong!"
"The System has issued a new Location Sign In Mission. Please sign in at the Hun Clan's Book Collection Pavilion. Do you accept the Sign In Mission?"
Book Collection Pavilion?
Hun Han hesitated!
The Book Collection Pavilion of the Hun Clan is very similar to the Qi Method Pavilion of the Xiao Clan. Only when they make a great contribution to the Clan, or when they become a Dou Zhe, are they qualified to enter it. Only Imperial Capital has the most complete Book Collection Pavilion of the Hun Clan, other Cities in the Hun Clan Realm have second-class Book Collection Pavilions.
In other words, if Hun Han wanted to sign in at the Book Collection Pavilion, he would have to either wait another ten years or break through to Dou Zhe. Otherwise, there is no way to complete this Mission.
However, his chances of Signing In there is not high, this is because, after today, according to the rules of the Hun clan, with such a poor Talent, he, Hun Han will be transferred to another area. At that time, it will be very difficult to Sign In at the Book Collection Pavilion.
"Accept!"
Even though completing this Mission will be difficult, Hun Han still accepted the Sign In Mission.
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations, Host has successfully accepted the Location Sign In Mission. Please complete the Location Sign In at the Book Collection Pavilion of the Hun Clan soon!"
"Alright, next, Hun Yu Tong!"
"Wait."
Hun Han did not leave the Altar. He bowed to the old Hun Clansmen who was presiding over the Test, he said crisply: "Elder, I was not ready just now. Please test me again!"

Chapter 4 Sensation Caused By The Saint Grade Bloodline
Wait, what? Did I hear that right, he wants to be tested again?
He does not really think we were praising him for real just now, right? Is it possible that he wants to be ridiculed again?
Is he sick?
When they heard what Hun Han said, countless incomprehensible gazes focused on Hun Han again. Naturally, they were ridiculing him in their minds, but outwardly, they did not say anything.
At this moment, even the old Hun Clan Clansman who presided over the test looked at Hun Han in amazement, his eyes filled with incomprehension. Afterwards, he flatly refused: "No, there is no problem with the tests result. You can step down now!"
Hearing this, Hun Han became anxious, he witty said: "Elder, let me test again. After all, I am the Thirteenth son of the Patriarch of the Hun Clan, besides, I do not think it is much if I am tested again and one more test will not take much time!"
Hmm…
The old man glanced at Hun Han, he thought Hun Han's words made sense. Although he did not understand why Hun Han was so strongly requesting to be tested again, he nodded and said: "Okay, you can test again. This time, no matter what the result is, you will not be tested anymore!"
Hearing this, Hun Han felt thankful. He bowed politely to the old man, he said: "Okay, thank you, Elder!"
The old man appeared calm as he said indifferently: "Go!"
After he spoke, Hun Han touched the Dark Soul Stone Tablet again.
Following his touch, the Dark Soul Stele once again lit up with a faint light. The same words appeared again: 1 Star Dou Zhi Qi!
In the crowd, someone ridiculed.
"Hehe, I thought it was going to be different, but it turned out to be nothing more than that! He still the same."
"Yes. He was so strongly requesting to be tested again that I thought there would be something different, turns out nothing changed!"
The Hun Clan Clansmen around the Altar whispered. As for Hun Feng, there was a faint smile on his face. As one of the candidates for the Young Master position of the Hun Clan, the worse Hun Han performs and the worse his reputation, the more favourable everything becomes for him.
"After today, I will have one less competitor!" Hun Feng thought inwardly.
Om…
However, the next second, Hun Feng was startled.
He saw that the space around the Dark Soul Stele was rippling strongly and a subtle pressure radiated from the Tablet.
"What?" Since a ripple appeared, that means that Hun Han already has a Grade 1 Bloodline.
Om…
The next second, the ripples increased in number to 2, 3 and more.
"1 ... 5 ... 8, 9, 10. Grade 10 Dou Di Bloodline!"
Everyone looked shocked as they looked at Dark Soul Stele.
The elder of the Hun Clan who was in charge of the test looked down at Hun Han in shock and exclaimed: "Child, you have a Dou Di Grade Bloodline!"
What?
Dou Di Bloodline?
How is it possible that trash like him has a Dou Di Bloodline?
Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa
Though invisible, most felt that they had been slapped. The trash in their minds unexpectedly awakened an unattainable Bloodline.
Hun Feng clenched his hands tightly, he looked with hostility at Hun Han's gaze, he inwardly muttered: "Damn, seems like you also awakened a Dou Di Bloodline!"
A Grade 9 Bloodline means a person has the potential to become a Dou Sheng.
A Grade 10 Dou Di Bloodline means that person has the potential to become a Dou Di.
Dou Di, for tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to set foot in that stage. At this moment, the Hun Clan has another person with the potential to reach that mythical Realm!
Hun Feng paid careful attention and noticed that although he also has a Dou Di Bloodline when he was tested, the Dark Soul Stele's ripples did not emerge as fast as when Hun Han did his test. Moreover, the pressure that emanated from the ripples was also not as strong as that of Hun Han's. In other words, despite both having a Dou Di Bloodline, Hun Feng's Bloodline was thicker and stronger than his.
"Since... his potential is so limitless, why has he not been able to sense Dou Qi for 6 years? Could it be that he was pretending before?" Someone asked.
"Impossible, any Talent and Cultivation cannot be hidden from the Dark Soul Stele."
It was the Hun Clan elder who was in charge of the test, an authoritative figure who answered the question. Under the pressure of the Dou Di Bloodline, the faces of many Hun Clan Clansmen had become ugly. Each of them was pale as they resisted the pressure from the Bloodline.
Fortunately, their Cultivation Base was higher than that of Hun Han's, enabling them to avoid kneeling to him.
"The shackles of Young Master's Bloodline have finally been broken!"
The shocked people on the white marble square did not hear a surprised voice sound from the edge of the square.
"Om!"
Immediately afterwards, there was another ripple on the Dark Soul Stele.
"What's this?"
A ripple suddenly appeared, and even the important figures of the Hun Clan sitting halfway up the mountain stood up in surprise.
"Grade 11 Bloodline?"
Someone could not help but exclaim. The Eight Ancient Clans divided their Bloodlines into Grades 1-10. A Grade 10 Bloodline is also called a Dou Di Bloodline, there is no such thing as a Grade 11 Bloodline, but somehow, a Grade 11 Bloodline had now appeared.
"No, that's not the Bloodline of the Hun Clan, but... the Bloodline of the Xiao Clan!" An old man with a white beard and hair blurted out.
"Xiao...Xiao Clan?"
"Is there such a Clan?"
" Isn't there only Seven Clans? Since when was there a Xiao Clan?"
Some young people who knew little history could not help but question this Hun Clan Elder.
This time, the energy ripples emitted by the Dark Soul Stele were not black, but golden. Moreover, this golden ripple was closely next to the black ripple.
Om…
"1...5...8, 9, 10. Grade 10 Dou Di Bloodline!"
Hun Han had the Dou Di Bloodline of two Ancient Clans!
Logically speaking, this should be a happy thing. However, the seniors were not happy. This was because the Bloodline Hun Han had was a Bloodline of a former mortal enemy of the Hun Clan, the Xiao Clan.
After the Dou Di Bloodline of the Hun Clan and the Xiao Clan appeared on the Dark Soul Stele, a very strong fluctuation appeared once again. Then, an incredible scene appeared.
They saw that the black ripples and golden ripples in the space around the Dark Soul Stele... actually merged. In the end, 10 Bronze coloured energy ripples were formed.
10 energy ripples, their colour is not very bright, but it was deeper and more stable than any other Bloodline they had seen before.
Bang!
Those Hun Clan Clansmen whose faces were pale, could not hold on any longer, they all knelt on the ground.
"This...what kind of Bloodline is this?"
Not only the Clansmen of the Hun Clan but even the Elders of the Hun Clan who was in charge of the test felt the Dou Qi in their body react surprisingly, it had paused circulating!
"Damn it!"
Hun Feng's face was dark, his hands were clenched tightly. He was looking hostilely at Hun Han on the altar. Even though he also had a Dou Di Bloodline, was felt a suppression from Hun Han's Bloodline.
Looking at their shocked expressions, there was still not much change on Hun Han's face. Hun Han scanned the huge square; he could easily feel several hostile intents, however, he did not care about them.
When Hun Han asked for another test, he had already predicted that he would receive hostility from many people afterwards. At this moment, he presumed that there were many out there who wished to kill him and strangle this Heaven's Pride in its cradle.
However, Hun Han did not care anymore.
"Hun Han, 1 Star Dou Zhi Qi; Bloodline, Saint Grade!"
As Hun Han's palm left the Dark Soul Stone Stele, the Bloodline suppression on the others quickly dissipated.
"Hun Han, good boy, you have awakened a Saint Grade Bloodline. Train hard in the future, I look forward to the day you return to Imperial Capital!" The old man of the Hun Clan encouraged Hun Han.
Although the Hun Han's Bloodline is above Dou Di, he has not yet reached 7 Star Dou Zhi Qi despite him being 6 years old. Therefore, according to the rules, he must be transferred to another region and be its City Lord.
This is a foregone conclusion; it will only change if the Clan is willing to change the rule created by that Ancestor.
"Thank you, Eighteenth Elder!"
Hun Han bowed to the old Elder who was in charge of the test.
The Eighteenth Elder stroked his beard, he had a more favourable impression of Hun Han after seeing that he remained polite despite awakening a Bloodline greater than that of a Dou Di's.
Hun Han immediately added: "Eighteenth Elder, this junior has a gratuitous request, I hope that Elder can help in accomplishing junior's wish!"
The Elder cautiously asked: "Well, how about you tell me what it is first?"
Hun Han emotionally said: "Eighteenth Elder, tomorrow, in accordance to the rules, I will leave the Hun Clan Realm and govern a region for the Clan. I do not know what year, date or time I will return, that is why I hope that I obtain a portrait of my Father, at least, whenever I miss him, I can look at that painting."
"This..." The Hun Clan Elder hesitated. It is right if a son wishes to see his Father, however, the Eighteenth Elder knew a brutal truth. Hun Tian Di did not like his Thirteenth son. And how did he know this? All from Hun Tian Di's actions, for 6 years, not even once had he gone to see his son, and every time Hun Han took the initiative to go see him, Hun Tian Di would avoid him.
Once, someone mentioned Hun Han to Hun Tian Di, but he was stopped by Hun Tian Di. Since then, no one has dared to speak a little bit of Hun Han in front of Hun Tian Di.
If he agrees to Hun Han, wouldn't this be throwing him into the fire?
The Eighteenth Elder wanted to refuse, but, looking at the pitiful expression on Hun Han's face, he remembered that Hun Han is... still a 6-year-old child. His heart softened, he could not bear to refuse such a dutiful son, thus, he nodded and said: "Well, after the test is over, come with me to see the Patriarch. It is up to him to see you or not, I cannot guarantee anything!"
Hearing this, Hun Han was overjoyed, with joy in his expression, he bowed to the Eighteenth Elder: "Thank you, Elder."
The reason why Hun Han did not hesitate to show off his Talents and attract hostility from others, was all to meet Hun Tian Di.
Hun Han's Golden Finger not only has a Timed and Location Sign In function, but also a Character Sign In function. If he can Sign In with Hun Tian Di, he could not imagine what reward he will obtain!
Hun Tian Di is one of the five strongest experts in the world. He also plays a very pivotal role in the future of the Dou Qi continent. Presumably, the reward for Signing In with him must be very impressive!

Chapter 5 Hun Clan's Hun Tian Di
The blazing sun shone brightly, on the top of one of the highest peaks of the Hun Clan, was a huge building covering an area of 9.99 million square meters. This building is more than 10 times larger than the City which children of the Hun Clan live.
The top of the mountain was flat, so much so that it appeared as if it had been cut by a sword. At the foot of the mountain peak is the Imperial Capital of the Hun Clan. The children of the Hun Clan also call Sacred City. While standing on the peak of the mountain, you would be able to see the endless beauty of the Sacred City.
At this moment, in the Palace on the top of the mountain, nine boys and eight girls in two rows stood trembling while looking up at the middle-aged man sitting on the nine-step Throne.
"Patriarch is in this test, there were several children with Bloodlines above Grade 9. Among them, Hun Feng, Hun Yutong, and Hun Jian Hao have not only become Dou Zhe, but they also possess the Grade 10 Dou Di Bloodline!"
Beneath the Throne, the Eighteenth Elder appeared extremely respectful as he lowered his head slightly and reported to the middle-aged man sitting on the Throne, the results of the test.
"Hm." The middle-aged man's tone was flat, but he was not angry as many would assume, he said: "You three, not bad, you all have the Dou Di Bloodline of my Hun Clan. Raise your heads, let me see your faces!"
Hearing his words, two boys and 1 girl raised their heads slightly and looked up at the middle-aged man sitting on the Throne.
The three could not help but sweat when they saw him, obviously, the middle-aged man was not doing anything, but his eyes seemed like a whirlpool that was swallowing their minds. The terrifying pressure he was exerting did not help either, it was like an invisible giant mountain, pressing down onto their hearts, almost suffocating them.
"Well, very good!" The middle-aged man carried on in his flat tone: "According to the rules, the three of them will become Tier 1 disciples of the Hun Clan from now on, and they can enjoy any of our available resources."
"Yes!" The Eighteenth Elder nodded.
"As for the children who have met the requirements and have a Grade 9 Bloodline, they will be Tier 2 disciples of the Hun Clan." The middle-aged man continued.
"Yes!" The Eighteenth Elder bowed again while taking his orders.
The Hun Clan possesses a Heavenly Flame, the Nihility Devouring Flame. Since they had used it to devour the Patriarch of the Spirit Devouring Clan and his Clan's Bloodline, he did not worry that the Dou Di Bloodline of the Hun Clan was going to be exhausted any time soon.
In the huge Hun Clan, the Dou Di Bloodline will not cause a large disturbance among the higher-ups, after all, in every test, there is always a few individuals who awaken the Dou Di Bloodline. As for those who awaken the Grade 9 Bloodline, before Hun Tian Di, they did not even have the qualifications to raise their heads and look at him, as for those who awaken a Grade 8 Bloodline, they do not even the qualifications to step into this Palace.
As for the children with Bloodlines below Grade 8 and above Grade 5, they will be given a 'sacred decree' that will be sent to their homes, depending on their Bloodline and their Cultivation, they will be granted a different sequence number.
If one child reaches the age of 6, and their Cultivation Base is not up to standard, and their Bloodline is below Grade 5, their fate would be miserable. If they have good identity and background, they will be transferred to a region and will govern it for the Hun Clan. If they do not have a strong background, then they will be conscripted and forced to serve the Hun Clan's Army.
At the age of 6, you are forced to join the Army, is this not funny and nonsense? After all, they are all children!
However, as a superpower of the Dou Qi Continent, the Hun Clan's rules are harsh.
For the Hun Clan, when a child joins the Army at the age of 6, they can foster their loyalty and groom them to become killing machines who have only the Clan and its interests in their eyes.
The Eighteenth Elder waved his hand and motioned his assistant to take all these children down. However, he stayed in this hall.
"Why, is there something else?" Hun Tian Di stood up from his Throne, he wanted to leave but when he saw the Eighteenth Elder remain in the Palace, he wanted to know why he had done so, thus he asked him what he needed with his back turned to him.
The Elder paused, he wanted to speak but kept hesitating, finally, he seemed to have made up as he spoke: "Patriarch, in this test, there is another Hun Clan child who has awakened a Dou Di Bloodline!"
Hun Tian Di asked curiously without being surprised: "In that case, why did you not bring him to see me?"
In the huge Hun Clan, even the ordinary descendants of the Hun Clan, not to mention those who awaken the Dou Di Bloodline, as long as the Bloodlines Grade is 9 and above, they are qualified to come and see him in this Palace.
The Elder had a strange expression on his face as he said, "It is just that he is only a Dou Zhi Qi Cultivator."
Hearing that the child had a Dou Di Bloodline but only a Dou Zhi Qi Cultivation Base, Hun Tian Di was surprisingly calm, he merely gave a faint "Oh".
Umm…
The Elder was taken aback for a moment, he pondered for a while, he was completely unable to understand the thoughts of the middle-aged man before him.
The Elder glanced at the gates of the Palace, his heart softened, and he said: "His name is Hun...Han!" After speaking, the temperature seemed to have dropped a few Degrees Celsius. A light breeze blew into the Palace, and the old Elder could not help but shudder.
Hun Tian Di did not turn around, he kept his back turned to the Elder. He spoke in an impatient tone: "You, you can go now!"
"Patriarch!"
Seeing Hun Tian Di's reaction, the Elder added: "He is kneeling outside at the moment, he does not want anything else. All he wants is to see you before he leaves the Imperial Capital. Who knows when he will return! Would you like to see him?"
Hun Tian Di still did not turn around, he said indifferently: "Okay, you can go now!"
Upon hearing this, the old Elder became even more anxious, he said: "Although he has awakened the Dou Di Bloodline, and his Cultivation Base is not up to the standard, please still see him. After all, he is also your child!"
Hearing this, Hun Tian Di was unhappy, he turned around, stared at the Elder, and shouted: "Eighteenth Elder! Are your ears not working well? I have already said, you can go now!"
The Elder, seeing that Hun Tian Di was like this, replied, "Patriarch, Hun Han has said that he will continue kneeling until you see him!"
"Hmph. Since he likes to kneel, let him kneel. If you try to persuade me again, do not think I will not do something you may regret!" After Hun Tian Di finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and without looking at the gates of the Palace, he turned and left.
...
"Patriarch, why are you leaving?"
"Why are you leaving? Young Master Hun Han has been kneeling outside for a day. Once, his mother had helped me, if not for her, I would have died 1000 years ago. If this is the wish of Young Master Hun Han. Then I must fulfil this wish for him today!"
...
"Come in, he will see you now!"
As a loud voice sounded, Hun Han, stood up. Looking up at the Hun Clan Palace in front of him, he could not help feeling a little excited. If he Signs In with Hun Tian Di, one of the five strongest experts, what kind of reward will he obtain?!

Chapter 6 Life Is Like A Play
In the Hun Clan's Imperial Study, in front of the golden nanmu table, a man in a white robe, using light from a moonstone, was intently looking at and reading an ancient scroll in his hand.
In front of the man, stood a child in an aqua blue robe, he was 6 years old. The child was looking unscrupulously at the middle-aged man sitting on the Throne.
It was unknown what material the Throne is made of. Even though he was 5 meters away from the Throne, Hun Han could still feel faint energy from it permeating the surroundings. Under the influence of this energy, Hun Han felt himself become refreshed, it was clear that this Throne is beneficial to the soul. It is hard to imagine what miraculous effects the Throne would bring if someone were to sit and cultivate on it.
The energy emitted by the Throne is very rich. At first glance, it looks like an Immortal Throne and coupled with the white-robed man sitting on it and the surrounding decoration, the Study appeared like an Immortal Scholar's abode.
However, Hun Han knew that it was exactly the opposite, he knew that the middle-aged man before him was cruel, cautious, ruthless and that he did anything to achieve his goal.
Hun Han looked around the Imperial Study. The layout of the room was based on the supreme number, 99. From these details, he could tell that the ambition of the Hun Clan is not small!
"Hey, that's not right, I have already seen Hun Tian Di, why did I not obtain the reward for the Character Sign In. Could it be that for the Character Sign In to occur, I need to have physical contact with the other party?"
Hun Han was guessing while standing in the Imperial Study.
Currently, Hun Han has seen Hun Tian Di's face, yet he had not obtained the reward. From that, Hun Han inferred that for the Character Sign In to work, he needs to have physical contact with Hun Tian Di, just like that time with Aunt Qin Lan.
Hun Han was speechless, it was already hard to see Hun Tian Di, how hard would it be to touch him?
However, he had to persevere, all for that reward!
"I heard that you knelt for a day just to see me?"
The room was silent for quite a while before the middle-aged man sitting on the Throne broke it. However, even though Hun Tian Di spoke, his eyes remained on the ancient scroll in his hand.
Hun Han replied: "Yes."
"What great courage, you dare to get others to intercede for you."
Hun Tian Di's tone was light, he did not appear to be angry, he glanced at Hun Han, and then continued to read the ancient scroll in his hand.
Hun Han looked calm, and said, "Father, is right, you know that better than anyone else."
Hun Tian Di muttered, "Give me an explanation for why you did this."
Hun Han responded indifferently: "Since father already has an answer in his mind, then there is no need for me to explain anything!"
Hun Tian Di said was a fact. After Hun Han knelt outside the temple for a day, among the Hun Clan, many important figures came forward and interceded for him.
This shocked the Hun Clan! After all, in the past 6 years, many people have deliberately alienated and kept a distance from him. Now, for such a trivial matter, many important figures had come forward for him.
This also left not only the Hun Clan but also Hun Han puzzled. Maybe he would know why after he asks Aunt Qin.
"Well, now that you have seen me, you can go!" Hun Tian Di said indifferently without his eyes leaving the book.
Go?
He cannot do this!
He still needs to Sign In with Hun Tian Di to receive his reward!
Upon hearing this, Hun Han knelt, he cried emotionally: "Now that child has seen father, even if he dies tomorrow, he will be happy. Whenever he misses his father, at least he can remember this. It is just that child has been brought up by Aunt Qin since he was born. He has never enjoyed nor embraced his father, child understands that father is the Patriarch of the Hun Clan, and that he is responsible for a lot of things. But child sees lots of other children embracing their father and child wants to do the same! Sometimes child wakes up in the night with a tear-stained pillow, please, at least satisfy child's wish, let child embrace father!"
Hun Tian Di put down the ancient scroll in his hand, he finally took a proper look at his thirteenth son for the first time.
The two looked at each other, speechless.
After some time, Hun Tian Di's heart softened. He stood up from his Throne, walked to Hun Han, and opened his arms.
Upon seeing this, Hun Han did not hesitate to do the same and hug him.
"Ding Dong!"
With the physical contact between Hun Han and Hun Tian Di, the System's voice finally rang.
"Congratulations, the Host has physical contact with Hun Tian Di! Do you wish to Sign In?"
"Sign In!" After so much effort, a fool would not Sign In!
"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations, you have completed Signing In with Hun Tian Di. Obtained item: Teleportation Star Plate!" Teleportation Star Plate: Ranked 9 on the Artifact Ranking. It utilises the power of the stars to move tens of millions of kilometres in an instant.
"Hahaha! I can move tens of millions of kilometres in a flash. Hmph, if I cannot defeat the enemy, I will just run! Can he stop me?! Haha, yes, yes, all those acting classes were not in vain! "
Hun Han was overjoyed, the reward he obtained matches the status that Hun Tian Di holds, he obtained such a rare yet strange thing!
In the Dou Qi Continent, there are Ranks for weapons, from high to low, they are divided into four Classes, Tian, Di, Xuan and Huang. Each major Class can be subdivided into three smaller levels: high, middle and low. Above these Classes is the famous rank of Artifacts!
Hun Han let go of Hun Tian Di, with a touch of satisfaction on the corner of his mouth. He has obtained an Artifact!
On the other hand, Hun Tian Di looked at Hun Han, he was slightly surprised. As a person with an Emperor Level Soul, he could see the intent in Hun Han's eyes.
Hun Han, apart from a touch of satisfaction in his eyes, also had a strong touch of complacency. That kind of triumphant gaze appears only after a scheme succeeds.
Uh!
Hun Tian Di was taken aback and stared at Hun Han suspiciously. Even with his wisdom, he could not figure out what scheme his Thirteenth son had concocted.
"You... can go now!" Hun Tian Di's indifferent voice rang again.
"It turns out that my father's embrace is so warm!"
Although he did not like this, Hun Han continued to say emotionally: "Father, to be able to get your embrace today is a long-cherished wish of your child. It is just that… I have a request and I hope that Father will agree to his child's request."
Upon hearing this, Hun Tian Di asked curiously: "What is it?"
Hun Han answered: "I want to enter the Book Collection Pavilion!"
"No!"
Hun Tian Di refused: "According to the rules left by the ancestors, only children at the age of 6, with a Cultivation Base above 7 Star Dou Zhi Qi, and a Bloodline above Grade 5, are eligible to enter the Book Collection Pavilion. Even I cannot break this rule!"
Humph!
Hun Han sneered inwardly, he looked indifferently up at Hun Tian Di.
Since he was familiar with the plot, Hun Han knew that the Hun Tian Di before him was not someone who went by the rules, nor was he an honest person. In the future, to unify the Dou Qi Continent and defeat the Flame Di, Xiao Yan, he would sacrifice many Hun Clan Clansmen.
To put it bluntly, Hun Tian Di just hates him, and nor does he value him, which is why he does not want to break this rule.
As for Hun Tian Di, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. For some reason, while looking into Hun Han's eyes, he felt the illusion as if he were seen through by Hun Han. As if he was standing naked in front of Hun Han at this moment.
"Father!"
Hun Han was going to do anything to complete that Sign In Mission at the Book Collection Pavilion!
Thus, Hun Han continued to speak emotionally: "Tomorrow, I will obey the rules of the Clan and go to some distant region and govern it for the Clan. If I were the child of some ordinary person, this would not be a problem, but child is the Thirteenth Son of the Hun Clan Patriarch. If I do not have any advanced Dou Qi Methods and Techniques, others will think that father is favouring one over the other and that the tiger father, has begotten a dog son. This will taint father's great and pure reputation!"
"Bold!"
Hun Tian Di yelled; his Qi leaked out.
Hun Han clasped his fists, he uttered: "I do not dare, everything I do is for father's sake!"
The room was silent, a breeze flew in.
After a moment of silence, the wind dissipated, and Hun Tian Di said indifferently: "Tomorrow, go to the Book Collection Pavilion with the Grand Elder!"
After hearing this, Hun Han was overjoyed, he was going to complete his Sign In Mission at the Book Collection Pavilion! He clasped his fist and said, "Thank you, father!"
Looking at Hun Tian Di, who was sitting on the Throne again, reading his ancient scroll, Hun Han knelt and knocked his head three times towards Hun Tian Di. After that, he stood up and said to Hun Tian Di: "You... take care!"
This time, Hun Han did not call him 'Father', but 'You'.
No matter how indifferent Hun Tian Di was to Hun Han in the past, Hun Tian Di is ultimately Hun Han's biological father. To meet him, he had kneeled outside the Palace and kowtowed to him, this showed the minimum love between child and father.
And while someone of this world may not care about Hun Han's treatment, Hun Han himself did. He came from the 21st century and seeing how Hun Tian Di had treated him in the past, then naturally Hun Han will not stick his warm face into a cold ass.
(T/N: 'stick his warm face into a cold ass' is slang for an unrequited relationship)
For the Hun Clan, a Clan where everyone is indifferent to one another and where familial love does not exist, he, Hun Han is happy to leave this place and not be part of Hun Tian Di's stepping stone to the Dou Di Realm.
Hun Han pondered, after completing the Sign In Mission, he will elope with Aunt Qin and go to some area and become its City Lord.
However, Hun Han who had left the Imperial Study did not notice that out of the corner of his eye, Hun Tian Di continued staring at Hun Han's departing back. Only when Hun Han's back disappeared, did words full of tenderness emerge from Hun Tian Di's mouth: "He is really like you!"

Chapter 7 Complicated And Confusion
The night's soft, light moonlight shone down.
On lotuses in the pond, a few frogs croaked and hordes of fireflies danced above the water from time to time. Occasionally a breeze flew by, carrying with it the lotuses scent, spreading its fragrance to the rest of the pond and the pavilion in the middle.
In this harmonious location, was a child who was disrupting the pleasant atmosphere.
"Aunt Qin, are there some things that you have not told me?"
The child in his aqua blue robe seemed to be talking to the empty space in front of him.
As the child finished speaking, the space around him seemed to shake. From the corner of his eyes, he spotted a woman wearing tight-fitting night clothing step onto the lotus and gracefully approach the pavilion.
The woman is tall, with long waterfall-like hair that is bound casually with a strap. She had delicate eyebrows, a slender waist, black eyes, and long yet slender legs. Although the woman covered her face with a black veil, preventing people from seeing her facial features, the looming silhouette behind them suggested her facial features were just as impressive as her body.
The woman continued walking to the pavilion before stopping. While looking at the child sitting in the chair at the centre of the pavilion, she respectfully said: "Young Master, there are some things that I cannot tell you yet."
"Yes, yes, yes, I am too weak now. If I know some things while not having the ability to complete them, I will find myself under huge pressure that will not be conducive to my mind and cultivation. Is that it, huh?" Before the woman could finish speaking, the 6-year-old child spoke first and glanced sideways at the woman in black.
"Yes, Young Master."
"It's just that you have said this Nth number of times."
Hun Han straightened up in his chair and looked at the black-clothed woman standing outside the pavilion. With a pitiful tone, he called out emotionally: "Aunt Qin! Tomorrow, you and I must follow the rules of the Clan, we will go to some region and rule it for the Clan. After leaving the Imperial Capital, those hidden claws in the dark will no longer have any scruples. Do you want me to die without knowing why?"
After hearing this, Qin Lan said sternly: "Young Master, this servant will protect you and ensure your safety!"
Upon hearing this, Hun Han continued to cry emotionally: "Aunt Qin, I am not young anymore. If I die without knowing why. I will not be resigned; do you want to bear the burden of knowing that will happen to me?"
Qin Lan didn't look at Hun Han and whispered: "Young Master, this servant is not Hun Tian Di. For the sake of Young Master's safety, I cannot tell Young Master some things, I can only tell you when Young Master is strong enough!"
"Ugh!"
Hun Han pouted, despite his level of acting being able to fool Hun Tian Di, he was not able to fool Qin Lan, she knew he was acting the entire time.
Today's events also shocked Hun Han.
Originally, Hun Han thought that he was just the Thirteenth son of Hun Tian Di and nothing more. Unexpectedly, he awakened the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline, pushing his Bloodline to the Saint Grade, a Grade above a Grade 10 Dou Di Bloodline.
As a reincarnate, Hun Han knows about the major factions of the Qi Continent.
He knows that the Hun Clan and the Xiao Clan are rivals. In the past, Hun Tian Di suddenly launched an attack at a critical point of the Xiao Clan's history, killing Xiao Xuan, the Patriarch of the Xiao Clan at the time, and exterminating the Xiao Clan.
It stands to reason that there will never be an overlap between two powerful, yet rival forces. However, in him, he possessed the Dou Di Bloodline of the Xiao Clan, this was incomprehensible to him.
And the Eighteenth Elder's reaction at the Palace made him certain, that everything relates to his mysterious mother.
Thinking of the hostile relationship between the Hun Clan and the Xiao Clan, as well as their past history on the Dou Qi Continent, Hun Han thoughtfully asked while staring at Qin Lan: "Could it be that my mother is just a humble character and that I am mistaken? That my background isn't as complicated and grand as I think it is?"
"Young Master has a noble and great background, not humble!" Qin Lan corrected without hesitation.
"Was Hun Tian Di acting on impulse and that is the reason for my birth? Did he get together with my mother because of some accident?" Hun Han asked tentatively again.
"Hun Tian Di and Mistress have a very affectionate relationship." Qin Lan answered again. As soon as she had finished speaking, Qin Lan was taken aback for a moment, she raised her head, and glanced at Hun Han. She had only just realised that the other party was playing her and getting answers from her in an indirect way.
"Since the two had a loving relationship, how can Hun Tian Di be so indifferent to me?" Hun Han was puzzled.
He, a 6-year-old, for his entire life, had never seen his father. In Clan gatherings, he would have no seat there and to even see his father, he had to kneel for an entire day. In the end, due to others interceding for him and placing a lot of pressure, did Hun Tian Di compromise and finally meet him.
Is this still something a father does?!
Even if it is some TV series, he is afraid that they would not have a plot like this!
Even if it is a novel, he knows that the author would not dare to have a storyline like this!
"Young Master, you can hate everyone in the world, including this servant, but you cannot hate Hun Tian Di!" Qin Lan's voice was extremely solemn while boldly staring at Hun Han.
"Why?"
Hun Han was puzzled, Hun Tian Di had treated him like air for all of his life, and he was cruel enough to destroy the Xiao Clan, the Clan from which his mother came from, and yet Qin Lan said that he cannot hate him! Why would she say this?
Qin Lan lowered her head, her eyes were firm: "Young Master, don't ask. There are some things that when you can know, then this servant will naturally inform you of them!"
