"You are all the most outstanding young people with limitless futures!
"Now that you have entered the Demon Subduing City, the following learning and training will maximize your potential and help you become an excellent Demon Subduer!"
The City Lord, Lü Tailai, stood on the stage and gave a warm welcome speech. He had to give such a speech at least four times a year, so he was already used to it. Beside him was a group of old men who were the mentors of the trainee Exorcists. Tu Lan was one of them. He smiled and waved at Xia Fan.
"Which one of you is Xia Fan? Please come to my side. "
Lu Tailai suddenly called out Xia Fan's name, then invited him to the platform. In front of hundreds of young people, he patted Xia Fan's shoulder and said excitedly, "This year's Demon Vanquisher trainee is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, especially Xia Fan. He has the rare six-star potential! The last time a young man with six-star potential appeared in the Hidden Demon City was 47 years ago. "
"Heavens, six-star!?"
"I remember that only those with demon genes above 49 percent can be rated as six-star."
"Your memory is correct. I didn't expect this smiling guy to be infinitely close to being a demon."
"Unfortunately, he's not a combat type."
After Lv Tailai finished speaking, Xia Fan immediately became the center of attention. Hundreds of people sighed and discussed among themselves. They were all shocked by the ratio of Xia Fan's Demon Blood. Under normal circumstances, the higher the Demon Blood a human had, the higher their final achievements would be. However, this ratio could not exceed fifty percent, because once it exceeded that, the human would eventually become a demon.
On average, there was only one person with such a high demon blood like Xia Fan every 40 to 50 years, so everyone was shocked. However, they didn't know that there was not just one person with the same blood as Xia Fan, but a whole group of people. All of Heaven's Wings had a high demon blood, except for Xia Fan, who was now hidden in the dark.
Outside this small square, there was another group of people. They were the warriors who had entered Hidden Demon City before Xia Fan. When Xia Fan's potential level was announced, it caused quite a stir among this group of people. Several of them had five-star potential or even more than five-star potential, and they quickly remembered Xia Fan's name.
The meeting soon ended, and the newcomers were assigned mentors. Unsurprisingly, Xia Fan's mentor was Tu Lan. Together with Fo You, Le Jiajia, Jiang Zhibei, and Du Yu, there were five of them. They would follow Tu Lan to activate the hidden power in their blood. This step was called awakening. As for how to train and improve after awakening, Hidden Demon City had another set of mechanisms.
Originally, Fo You's mentor was not Tu Lan. According to the rules, students of combat and non-combat types should not be mixed together. But Fo You did not agree. If it was not for Xia Fan, he would not have come to this damn place. Little Buddha was angry that Xia Fan would not be in the same group as him.
"Just say, do you agree or not? If you don't agree, I'll go back! "
Fo You directly went to the City Lord and had a showdown with him. In the end, he got what he wanted. After all, he was King Kong, and Hidden Demon City did not want to let go of a young man with top-level combat ability. Such a request had never been made in Hidden Demon City before, because everyone knew that non-combat types had a relatively low status.
"How dare he compete with the City Lord. Fo You is indeed a warrior with character!"
"He doesn't care whether he's a combat type or a non-combat type. Perhaps only Fo You has such confidence."
Listening to the discussions around him, Xia Fan felt dizzy. Hidden Demon City was really a snobbish place. Because of Fo You's powerful ability, everyone thought he was right no matter what he did.
As for Xia Fan, everyone thought that he was a non-combat type and expressed their pity. How could such a high potential appear in a non-combat type? It felt like a fresh flower was stuck in a pile of cow dung like Xia Fan.
Xia Fan shook his head and followed Tu Lan to the Awakening Center, feeling a little depressed. It was a grand building that looked like a church. The exterior was mottled, and the stone steps were dark and gloomy, recording the vicissitudes of history. In countless wars with the demons, the Awakening Center had miraculously survived.
Entering the center, one could see thirteen statues. In the center was the King of Demon Kings, Harry Cain, surrounded by his twelve brothers.
"The Thirteen Demon Kings, the rulers of darkness, the origin of all tyranny, plagues, and turmoil in the world," Tu Lan explained. "The first step to awaken magic power is to test your bloodline and know which Demon King your bloodline originated from. Then, we will help you awaken according to the characteristics of the demon blood."
Non-combat types were always last, and this time was no exception. After waiting for a long time, it was Tu Lan and his students' turn after the other teachers had tested their bloodline.
The first one to step forward was Jiang Zhibei. With his big belly, he stood on the brass steps in the center of the hall. In front of him was a bronze ball. After grabbing the bronze ball with both hands, one of the 13 Demon King statues would be lit up. The Demon King that was lit up was the origin of everyone's bloodline.
"Oh, so you have the bloodline of the Silver Demon King Shelvey. Very good, very good," Tu Lan said while recording.
Next was Du Yu. His bloodline came from the Sky Demon King Brescia, but the brightness of the Sky Demon King statue was relatively weak, which meant that the purity of Du Yu's demon blood was not high.
Then it was Le Jiajia's turn. Without a doubt, she lit up the statue of Achilles, the Hill Demon King. In an instant, the dazzling light was like the noon sun. The hall was completely shrouded in light, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
"As expected of the direct bloodline of Achilles," Tu Lan said with a nod.
It was Fo You's turn. He lit up the statue of the Flaming Demon King Stanley. Xia Fan knew that Fo You did not have the bloodline of the Demon King. It was Tu Lan who secretly helped him pass the test. Fo You did not care about this. He laughed and walked down the steps lazily.
"Xia Fan, it's your turn."
Tu Lan's eyes were filled with anticipation because Xia Fan wasn't just representing himself. He was representing the entire Heavenly Winged Clan. Tu Lan really wanted to know just which demon king's bloodline belonged to this clan that had been stranded in the middle realm and possessed extremely pure demon blood.
Xia Fan relaxed and walked up the brass steps. He reached out his hands and grabbed the bronze ball in front of him. He looked around and waited for the statue to be lit up.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
As time passed, the thirteen Demon King statues were all gray.
"Wrong posture?" Xia Fan muttered. He moved his hands away and grabbed the bronze ball again, almost hugging it.
However, the thirteen Demon King statues were still not lit up. The hall was dead silent. The demon blood in his body did not resonate with any of the Demon Kings.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't Xia Fan a Six-star Demon Blood?"
"Is it because the purity is too high and exceeds the resonance limit?" Everyone was discussing. There were at least a few thousand people in the hall.
"As expected of a Six-star Demon Blood!" At this time, the City Lord Lu Tailai stood up. His face was flushed with excitement. He said loudly, "The purity of Xia Fan's demon blood has reached an astonishing 49.99%. This is the highest purity in history! That's why even the resonance system failed. "
"Today's test will end here. From tomorrow onwards, you will try to awaken the power of your bloodline. You must work harder!"
Was that really the case?
Xia Fan was skeptical. When he saw Lu Tailai and Tu Lan secretly exchange glances, he immediately understood that things were not that simple.
