“For instance, Captain Zhao Yunxiao and Zhao Wufeng. They are uncle and nephew and both have awakened as ‘Professionists’.”
“Take Dongfang Yang for example, he was just an illegitimate son born to a Xia Country professionist concubine of the Dongfang family. But after his awakening, he became the Storm Lord, the hereditary profession of the Dongfang family, making him the fifth in line for the family inheritance…”
“Your occupation as a Priest doesn’t seem to be related to the forerunner of the Zheng Family.”
“Bloodline Soul?”
Zheng Cheng blinked, “What is that?”
“A special rule of bloodline.” Li Zhen said, “You will naturally understand once your strength increases to the Epic Level.”
“What was the occupation of the Forerunner of the Zheng Family?”
“Beast Spirit Master.”
“Beast Spirit Master?”
Zheng Cheng and Zhu Chengyu both exclaimed in surprise.
This profession constantly appears in history textbooks!
Li Zhen smiled, “Surprised, aren’t you? The Beast Spirit Master profession still exists in this world…”
Zheng Cheng murmured, “I didn’t expect that Senior to still be alive.”
“No, Senior Zheng has sacrificed himself.”
Li Zhen shook his head and said, “The one currently in charge of the Zheng Family in Beijing is his eldest son’s lineage.”
“Additionally, the Zheng Family was one of the founders of the Night’s Watch.”
“One of the Sea Seven Kings, the Zheng Family of the Nine Snake Island, stems from his third son’s lineage.”
“What happened to his second son?”
“Gone.”
“What do you mean by ‘gone’?”
“Eliminated by the Fallen Ones, the whole Clan was wiped out!”
“Sss…”
Zheng Cheng wondered, “Since Senior has sacrificed himself, how can the Zheng Family still be labelled as a Forerunner Family…”
“Because of the contributions made by that senior, and his strength!”
Li Zhen laughed, “Both the Patriarch of the Zheng Family in Beijing and the Lord of the Nine Snake Island, one of the Sea Seven Kings, are at Epic Level!”
“Furthermore, their strength is such that they can be placed in the top ten among all Epic Level warriors within Xia Country.”
Zheng Cheng suddenly realized, and asked, “What about those three Seniors…. Xin…? Are they also forerunners?”
“Exactly.” Li Zhen said, “They are also forerunners, but they didn’t propagate any lineage.”
“Why?”
“This…”
Li Zhen glanced around, lowered his voice, and said, “There are rumors,… it seems the stronger the professionist, the more difficult it is to bear offspring. If you attempt to father a child after reaching Epic Level, it’s as hard as climbing to the heavens, almost impossible.”
“In the past three hundred years, many forerunners have been trying to repel the invaders by trying to strenghthen their power, not having time to be romantically involved.”
“When they reached Epic Level and expelled the invaders, they suddenly found that they had a very slim chance of bearing children, so that they…”
“So that’s why…”
Zheng Cheng suddenly comprehended, “One last question, what are the Sea Seven Kings?”
Li Zhen frowned and said, “That question is classified. Ordinary professionists have no way of knowing it… But I’ll tell you, just don’t spread it.”
Zheng Cheng and Zhu Chengyu immediately nodded their heads, like chicks pecking at rice.
“The so-called Sea Seven Kings, are actually traitors of the several super countries on Blue Star…”
“What?!”
“Traitors?” Zheng Cheng asked curiously, “What do you mean by that?”
Li Zhen spread his hands, “It’s a state secret, I’m not very clear either, and the elders in my family are very taciturn about this matter. Maybe you’ll be qualified to know when you become a strong player on the Epic level.”
Just then, Yang Ru’er’s silhouette appeared again on the stage.
“Candidates, this exam is now over, please leave it here, others will be teleported back to the gathering point of each state.”
“Dongfang Yang, Zhou Xinyu, Wang Hao…Zheng Cheng!”
Nine names in a row were called out by Yang Ru’er.
Dongfang Yang, Zhou Xinyu, and the rest were already ready and came to the stage, followed by the other candidates.
Li Zhen said, “Zheng Cheng, this time it’s probably for the Mirror of Enchantment, we’ll go first.”
After saying that, he and Zhu Chengyu were enveloped in a dazzling white light and instantly disappeared.
The other dozens of people on the high platform also disappeared in an instant.
Only Dongfang Yang, Zhou Xinyu, Zheng Cheng, and six others remained.
Zheng Cheng looked up, and the figure of Xin Ruhuo appeared again.
“I’ve brought all of you here because I want to discuss something.”
Then, he waved his hand, and a phantom of a round mirror appeared.
“The Mirror of Enchantment, one of the three legendary artifacts of the Inferior Tribe.”
“This mirror has a special ability. It was split into dozens of pieces by the Inferior Tribe’s Fiery Emperor as part of his billion-shard plan.”
“I presume each of the nine of you has a corresponding piece of the Mirror of Enchantment.”
The nine people in the room, whether excited, calm, confused, or shocked, all looked up at Xin Ruhuo on the stage.
“The mirror’s ability is unknown. Moreover, it was stolen from the Inferior Tribe. Only professionists with Inferior Tribe’s bloodline can fully utilize its abilities.”
“In your hands, it would at best be a special tool.”
“So, I am willing to exchange the Mirror of Enchantment shards you have with equipment or tools of the same value.”
“Of course, I won’t force anyone who is unwilling to exchange.”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, took out his shard of the Mirror of Enchantment first.
It can’t be stored in a spatial ring and could easily be discovered by other high-level professionists with malicious intentions.
Having it is completely unproductive, it would be better to exchange it for some useful items.
Most of the nine individuals did not hesitate to bring forth their shards of the Mirror of Enchantment.
