Chapter 45

The entire person was as heavy and solid as a mountain range.

Even Meng Zhangqing felt a trace of pressure upon seeing them.

These two fellows, like gate gods.

Very strong.

Gathering his mind, Meng Zhangqing began to view the character panels of these two.

Basic Information:

【Name: Shi Guang】

【Race: Human Race】

【Cultivation Base: 4th stage of the Aperture Realm】

Attribute Information:

【Bone Structure: Rank Three】

【Comprehension: Average】

【Bloodline: Stone Person Bloodline (Hidden)】

【Cultivation Techniques & Martial Arts: "Heavenly Might Dominating Body" (Great Perfection), "Heavenly Star Fist" (Minor Perfection)】

"It's actually a bloodline!"

Meng Zhangqing's pupils contracted sharply.

This is something even rarer than talent.

Equivalent to those terrifying physiques.

If a person can possess a bloodline, it means an ultimate powerhouse once emerged from their ancestors!

"Stone Person Bloodline, is it that one?"

Meng Zhangqing remembered seeing it while reading miscellaneous books before.

Among the physiques or bloodlines most suitable for the Body Refinement path, there were records concerning the Stone Person Bloodline.

He had thought this bloodline had long gone extinct.

Who would have expected it to appear right before his eyes, truly and vividly, at this very moment!

The Stone Person Bloodline.

A natural body refiner!

Cultivating any body-refinement technique would yield twice the result with half the effort, times, times, times!

Furthermore, the Stone Person Bloodline could autonomously strengthen the physical body.

In terms of defense alone, it could be said to be unrivaled under heaven!

Suppressing the shock within his heart.

Meng Zhangqing looked at his younger brother's panel.

His younger brother was named Shi Yao.

All attributes were almost identical to Shi Guang's, except his cultivation base was one stage lower.

"Shi Guang, Shi Yao, why does it sound like it carries the flavor of bringing glory to the clan?"

Meng Zhangqing shook his head slightly.

Immediately, his gaze grew intense.

The Stone Person Bloodline.

If I could obtain this attribute, would I need to worry about defense in the future?

Basically, no need to worry at all!

Unless it is some extremely lethal method, otherwise it probably couldn't even break my skin!

I must find a way to add these two as friends!

Meng Zhangqing clenched his hands slightly.

Although many people present had a cultivation realm higher than Shi Guang and Shi Yao, after the two entered, they exerted a strange aura suppression.

Causing no one to dare speak lightly.

Only after the Shi brothers left to accept a mission to slay a demonic beast did everyone gradually relax.

And the Mission Hall began to grow noisy.

"The aura of these Shi brothers is too terrifying; I am at the 6th stage of the Aperture Realm, yet I dare not make a sound, as if my neck were being choked."

"Can you compare with them?"

"Those are geniuses among geniuses; it has only been two months since they entered the Zong Sect, yet they broke through consecutively from the 9th stage of the Tempered Meridian Realm to the third or fourth stage of the Aperture Realm!"

"That terrifying?"

"Of course, I also heard that a my lord from the Purple Essence Peak is preparing to take these two brothers as disciples."

"..."

The people around continued to converse.

This also caused Meng Zhangqing's understanding of these two to deepen continuously.

"No one mentioned the Stone Person Bloodline; did the Zong Sect not make it public, or did they not discover it?"

A look of contemplation appeared in Meng Zhangqing's eyes.

Because on Shi Guang's panel, he clearly saw a 'Hidden' character after the Stone Person Bloodline.

In the Cultivation World, whether it is bone structure, talent, or bloodline physique.

Occasionally, a hidden form appears.

This seems to be an instinctive protective mechanism.

Prevent it from being too obvious.

It's like a tree towering above the forest.

But aren't these two's terrifying physiques also a form of concealment?

He shook his head slightly and didn't dwell on it.

This isn't what he should be focusing on right now.

The key is how to add those two as friends?

Walk up to them directly—there's no opening; they probably wouldn't even notice you.

"Wait for an opportunity."

He retracted his thoughts, calmed the state of mind, and became utterly still, "The most important thing is strength—focus on raising your cultivation base; that is the true path."

"When the tree is tall, the phoenix will surely come; when the flower scents the air, butterflies arrive of their own accord."

Only when strength is equal—or even superior—can friendship between them become possible.

Besides, he has plenty of hidden cards; the Stone Bloodline isn't something he's desperately eager for right now.

"By the way, how old are these two brothers?"

"Their faces look thirty or forty years old."

Suddenly someone asked.

"Don't hide it—I heard reliable news they're only eight!"

"What the hell, they're eight?"

The Task Hall fell silent for a moment.

Even Meng Zhangqing's lips twitched slightly.

Eight...

That's going too far.

Too precocious.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't believe it.

But the Stone Bloodline—

It's hard to say.

"Hello, I'd like to take on a task."

Meng Zhangqing said.

"All of them are on the wall—just pick one."

The Task Hall disciple remained calm, as if long accustomed to such scenes.

Meng Zhangqing began examining each one in turn.
