Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 533: Chapter 30: Storm is Coming! Wealth Moves Hearts_2

Everyone was temporarily bewildered.

However, given that this was ultimately a good thing, the crowd soon ceased their puzzlement and began to contemplate the reasons. Shortly after, all of Wang Ping’s information was presented to Liu Ruolan, Old Ancestor Longyan, and others.

When this child was eight years old, he underwent the Spirit Testing Platform of the Wang family and his initial talents were rated as Low Grade Class C, neither good nor bad amongst the potential head of households. His cultivation speed was neither fast nor slow, and he had just reached the mid-Level One of the Vital Energy Refining Realm.

His academic performance in the Clan School was barely average.

As for his appearance, he was not particularly handsome and looked somewhat naive. Yet it was this ordinary child who had passed the test…

The child’s only advantage was that from his great-grandfather onwards, they had always been tenant farmers of the Wang family, with a clear and unblemished background.

… In fact, this advantage was not really an advantage.

In the Wang family’s current upbringing system, a clear background was the primary element.

Those who could become head of household were mostly relatives of the Wang family, house servants, tenant farmers, or came from the common folk under their rule, with at least three generations traceable…

Wang Ping’s inexplicable passing aroused feelings of dissatisfaction among Wang Shouming and others.

Could it be that this inconspicuous seedling of a head of household was superior to them? Besides, this little guy looked somewhat naive and did not display any signs of intelligence or talent.

The “poor” head of household sapling, Wang Ping, had no idea what had happened and was brought forth.

This was his first time meeting the “high and mighty” Lady of the Wang family, Liu Ruolan, and the legendary Old Ancestor Longyan. He was so nervous that he was trembling, his legs kept shaking and he dared not say a word, hanging his head low.

Moreover, the young masters and misses of the family looked at him with displeasure, as if they were quite dissatisfied with him.

“Wang Ping, do not be afraid.” Liu Ruolan said gently, “Since you have entered the Wang family’s record of heads of household, you are a member of the Wang family, not an outsider.

“Yes, madam.”

Sensing Liu Ruolan’s amiable expression, Wang Ping relaxed a bit.

The Wang family’s heads of households were cultivated from a young age. They not only practiced cultivation techniques, but also received strict cultural education in the Clan School, and they were treated equally to the direct line, even the main line, making their abilities relatively well-rounded.

Although Wang Ping was young, once he relaxed, he was composed and meticulous in his actions, showing some of the demeanor of his elder heads of households.

“Since you were able to open that Refining Tool Jade Box, you must have some unique qualities. Think carefully whether there is something about you that is different from others”. Liu Ruolan casually asked, “If you can’t remember, that’s okay. You don’t need to force yourself.”

Wang Ping pondered for a while but still looked puzzled: “Madam, the most glorious moment I had was passing the household test. This made our neighbours very envious. Other than that, there’s nothing else.”

The moment his words fell.

Suddenly, a “buzzing” sword chime resonated in the air and a sword light darted towards him like lightning. Its speed was so fast that even advanced Vital Energy Refining Realm cultivators find it hard to catch.

But Wang Ping’s eyes widened as he instinctively stepped back half a step, his face turned pale in an instant.

The magical treasure emanating a purple electric glow skimmed half a foot in front of him, then quickly flew back, re-entering the scabbard at Wang Longyan’s waist.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

“Old Ancestor, what is this…” Wang Shouming was startled and hurriedly spoke to soothe the situation, “Although we are dissatisfied with Wang Ping, he hasn’t done anything wrong. Please calm your anger, Old Ancestor.”

The other youngsters also quickly pleaded for mercy.

Although Wang Ping did indeed appear dull, causing them dissatisfaction, it was not his fault. They had been educated by the Wang family’s values since childhood and their worldviews were quite upright. They did not want to simply watch as Wang Ping suffered…

“Don’t be in a hurry, you guys.” Liu Ruolan said with a smile, “Would our Old Ancestor be someone who doesn’t bother to distinguish right from wrong? It was just a test. Now I understand, Wang Ping may seem ordinary, but his instinctive reaction is extremely quick, and he has already condensed a trace of Divine Sense. No wonder he, who is ordinary in every other aspect, could pass the test of the elder Heavenly Craftsman.”

A trace of Divine Sense?

Wang Shouming and others were taken aback.

This kid, Wang Ping, was only eleven years old, at the first level of the Vital Energy Refining Realm… and he already has a bit of Divine Sense?

Divine Sense is also called Spiritual Sense, although they have different names, their meanings are the same.

Profound Martial cultivators at the Vital Energy Refining Realm strengthen their bodies and meridians by refining Qi and blood, thereby amplifying their strength and producing more high-quality Mysterious Energy.

In this process, although the constitution of the Profound Martial cultivator strengthens, and a trace of Divine Sense gradually condenses, the Vital Energy Refining Realm is not a realm specifically for strengthening Divine Sense, which is why most Vital Energy Refining Realm cultivators have weak Divine Sense.

Only by breaking through to the Spirit Platform Realm and opening the Spiritual Platform does one’s Divine Sense emerge drastically.

At this point, Profound Martial cultivators can command Spiritual Artifacts in battle. If you don’t have Divine Sense to gradually contract with the Spiritual Artifacts, even some sharper Spiritual Artifacts can only be used as more lethal weapons.

The fact that he has a trace of Divine Sense at Level One of the Vital Energy Refining Realm suggests that Wang Ping’s potential in Divine Sense should be high. Artifact Refining often requires higher Divine Sense to sense changes in temperature and to control the shape of objects, among other things.

It’s not that those with weak Divine Sense can’t refine artifacts, but clearly, as the Heavenly Craftsman seeks “disciples of higher generations”, he set a higher threshold.
