Chapter 0340: Ancient Legends

Ninety! He actually broke through to ninety!
The people in the arena stared in shock at the bloodlight on the Dragon Blood Stele, which continued to rise. Li Yifeng was also greatly “startled” by what he saw.
“Brother Huanglong is really going overboard! Even if he can transform his dragon bloodline, there’s no need to make such a big deal out of it, right?!” Li Yifeng thought to himself in shock.
At this moment, he believed that the result showing the concentration of the dragon bloodline from the test on the Dragon Blood Stele was actually created by Huanglong using his transformation techniques.
“But if Brother Huanglong can even transform his dragon bloodline, then surely he can transform even the aura of the Supreme God?!” Li Yifeng continued to think.
“Damn, this is way too outrageous!” Li Yifeng imagined endlessly.
Suddenly, the Dragon Blood Stele trembled, emitting a low rumbling sound like a dragon’s roar. Then, under everyone’s astonished gazes, the bloodlight stopped rising.
“It finally stopped!” Black-haired woman Bree and Giger breathed a sigh of relief as the rising bloodlight finally ceased.
Although they had hoped for the bloodlight to keep rising, they were also afraid of it. What would happen if it kept rising, reaching ninety-six or even higher?! Their clan leader, Kennedy, only reached ninety-six.
“Ninety-one!” Li Yifeng also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bloodlight stop there. He thought to himself that Huanglong knew when to stop. If Huanglong really managed to reach ninety-six, ninety-seven, or even ninety-nine, things would get really serious!
Huanglong wasn’t surprised by this number; it was within his expectations.
“It seems that the ancient Dragon God had great talent and was among the strongest in the world,” Huanglong thought to himself.
The test results were finally revealed!
Yet, for a long time, the grand hall remained silent. No one spoke; no one wanted to break the stunned silence.
After a while, the bloodlight on the Dragon Blood Stele gradually faded until it disappeared completely. Only then did Black-haired woman Bree take her gaze off the stele and turn it toward Huanglong, speaking with difficulty, “Um, brother, please try to show a smile on your indifferent face. Though, at least in Huanglong’s opinion, that smile looked even uglier than her usual indifferent expression.”

“Brother? Excuse me?” It was then that the dark-haired woman, Bree, remembered to ask for Huang Long’s name. Earlier, she had thought it unnecessary to know it, as it didn’t matter whether she did or not—even if this dark-haired youth was indeed a member of a family from the Water Deity Realm, the two would never interact again. But now, things were different.

Gegil also looked at Huang Long with anticipation, awe, and flattery. He too had forgotten to ask for Huang Long’s name earlier. At the same time, he felt uneasy, recalling the entire journey of leading Huang Long here to test his dragon bloodline. Had he done anything to offend or neglect him along the way?!

But the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, because it seemed he had acted like a supervisor throughout the journey, paying little attention to the two of them.

“Huang Hai!” said Huang Long.

Huang Hai was a name Huang Long had chosen long ago, and such a identity indeed existed in the Water Deity Realm. Even if the Luning family decided to verify his identity out of caution later, they wouldn’t be able to find anything.

“Oh, it’s Brother Huang Hai!” The dark-haired woman, Bree, forced a smile.

Gegil also nodded and bowed to Huang Long, adding, “Brother Huang Hai.”

Brother Huang Hai? Seeing their flattering expressions, Huang Long simply smiled indifferently without saying anything.

If the result of the Dragon Blood Stone test had shown only thirty or forty percent blood concentration, or even just fifty percent, they definitely wouldn’t have shown such flattering attitudes.

Seeing their changed expressions, Li Yifeng also curled his lips.

“Who is this brother?” Bree then turned to Li Yifeng with a smile.

“Li Qingfeng!” Li Yifeng simply used this name. Since he didn’t intend to blend in with the Luning family, any name would do—after all, the Luning family wouldn’t be able to uncover anything.

“Oh, it’s Brother Li Qingfeng!” Influenced by Huang Long’s test results, Bree smiled warmly at Li Yifeng as well.

Li Yifeng didn’t mind this. In the Main God’s Space, there were already many peerless strongmen who flattered him.

“Bree, what just happened?” Suddenly, a majestic voice rang out in the air. Then, after a flash of a shadow, a person appeared.

“Greetings, Elder Donald!” Seeing the old man appear, Bree and Gegil quickly bowed in respect.

The person who came was Donald, an elder from the Luning family who had been alerted by the anomalies caused by the Dragon Blood Stone test.

“Who are they?” Seeing Huang Long and Li Yifeng standing there without bowing, Donald frowned and asked Bree.

Seeing Donald’s displeased expression, the dark-haired woman Bree quickly explained, “Elder Donald, this is Brother Huang Hai from our main clan, who came from the Water Deity Plane. This is his friend Li Qingfeng.” She then added urgently, “Just now, Brother Huang Hai underwent the Dragon Blood Stele test to verify his dragon bloodline, and his identity has been confirmed.”
After hearing Bree’s words, Donald, an elder of the Runing family, stared at Huang Long intently and asked her solemnly, “Was that dragon shadow in the sky just now created when he was testing his dragon bloodline using the Dragon Blood Stele?!”
If that was indeed the case, Donald’s expression turned grave.
“Yes, Elder Donald!” Bree replied promptly upon hearing his question. “That dragon shadow was indeed created by Brother Huang Hai during the test.” At this point, her expression became complex as she thought of the final result shown by the Dragon Blood Stele, and she couldn’t help but become excited.
“It’s really true?!” Donald was stunned for a moment before looking at Huang Long in disbelief, then descending swiftly to the ground of the hall.
“Your name is Huang Hai?! You came from the Water Deity Plane?” Donald maintained a solemn expression.
“Yes,” Huang Long nodded, showing appropriate respect to match his identity.
Donald once again examined Huang Long from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze, as if trying to see through him completely.
The Dragon Blood Stele had produced a dragon shadow anomaly!
It reminded him of an ancient legend of the Runing family—a legend so old that every elder in the family refused to forget it. It had become a sacred rule for all elders in the family!
Donald snapped out of his reverie and asked Bree, “What was the result of his dragon bloodline test just now? Was it eighty?!”
Eighty? Bree and Giger were stunned. Then, Bree replied respectfully but nervously, “Elder Donald, Brother Huang Hai’s test result was ninety-one!” By the end, she was so excited that her voice trembled.
Ninety-one—a number that all tens of millions of descendants of the Runing family aspired to achieve.
“Oh, ninety-one.” Donald didn’t react at first, thinking it was eighty-one, so he casually responded. Suddenly, his expression froze, then stiffened, before he exclaimed, “What did you say?! Ninety-one!”

Back then, his test score was only 87.
87—although only 4% lower than 91—still represented a huge gap between those above 90 and those below.
“Yes, Elder Donald!” the dark-haired woman, Bree, said eagerly and respectfully.
Elder Donald of the Runing family suddenly turned around, staring at Huang Long in shock. Could this dark-haired young man really be the one in the legend?!
According to the legend, the Runing family would face a great disaster, and whether they could survive it would depend on a family member whose dragon blood lineage produced a dragon shadow during the Dragon Blood Stele test.
However, even if the dark-haired young man’s dragon blood lineage test result was 91, which was quite astonishing, it was unlikely he would have the ability to save the Runing family from this disaster, right?!
This legend was said to be a warning spoken by a former Fate God to their ancestors.
But that Fate God had already perished in the last battle among the gods.
Elder Donald of the Runing family looked at Huang Long with shock and uncertainty. This expression puzzled the dark-haired woman and the others.
Huang Long also felt confused at Elder Donald’s reaction.
“Your name is Huang Hai?!” Although Elder Donald had already confirmed it with Huang Long earlier, he asked again. Huang Long frowned. Elder Donald couldn’t possibly know his identity was fake, so why keep insisting on his name and identity?
“Yes, Elder Donald,” Huang Long replied, as his identity was now Huang Hai, so he had no choice but to comply.
Elder Donald nodded and took a deep breath.
“Good, very good!” he said inexplicably. Everyone was baffled. Li Yifeng rolled his eyes. Of course it’s good—what else could it be?
“Come, Huang Hai. Follow me to the family headquarters now!” Elder Donald continued.
“To the family headquarters?” Huang Long was stunned. Not only him, but Li Yifeng, the dark-haired woman Bree, and Giger also showed surprise.
“That’s right. I’ll take you to see the family head,” Elder Donald said solemnly. After saying that, he took out a family communication jade and crushed it. It seemed he had sent back the details of Huang Long’s Dragon Blood Stele test results to the Runing family headquarters.
Meanwhile, inside the Runing family headquarters, the family head, Kennedy, said to a female disciple before him, “Are you sure Huang Long was in the Giant Dragon Mountains of the Holy Literature Mansion at that time?”

And this female disciple was none other than Ethel, the one who had gone to the Dragon Mountain Range to search for dragon blood crystals and was captured by the Yellow Dragon back then.
