"Shengyu, I originally wanted to build your confidence."
"That's why Father didn't tell you the truth."
"The grades of Heavenly bloodlines aren't as simple as Low, Common, High, General, and Saint."
"Low grade, Common grade, High grade—those people don't even qualify as true geniuses, so I won't dwell on them."
"To truly be called a genius, one's Heavenly bloodline grade must at least reach the Heavenly rank."
"And the Heavenly rank itself is divided into Heavenly Low, Heavenly Common, Heavenly High, and Heavenly General."
"Huangfu Fanni is of the Heavenly Common grade."
"So don't let the word 'Common' in his name fool you. He's only slightly weaker in bloodline compared to you all. In truth, he belongs among the true geniuses—a genuine Heavenly rank."
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Shengyu said, "So Huangfu Shangwu and Huangfu Shangyang are actually of the Heavenly High grade."
"Precisely."
The Huangfu Heavenly Clan patriarch nodded.
Hearing this, Huangfu Shengyu suddenly understood something.
And because of this, his breathing quickened, his expression turned grim, and even his palms began to tremble slightly.
He was panicking!!!
The Huangfu Heavenly Clan patriarch had long prepared for this scene, so he didn't try to console him further.
Since it was already confirmed that Chu Feng's bloodline surpassed Huangfu Shengyu's, he should also know that his own bloodline was far from the strongest.
"In that case, the Heavenly Lightning Saint grade can also be subdivided." Huangfu Shengyu looked toward his father.
This was his realization—that although his bloodline held the prestigious Heavenly Lightning Saint grade, it was likely far less powerful than he had imagined.
"Yes. The Heavenly Lightning Saint grade is also divided into Saint Low, Saint Common, Saint High, and Saint King."
"And the Saint King grade is the highest grade among all Heavenly Lightning bloodlines." The Huangfu Heavenly Clan patriarch said.
"And what about me? What grade am I?"
"The Ancient Lightning Attracting Pillar is right here. Why don't you try it yourself?"
The Huangfu Heavenly Clan patriarch pointed toward the Ancient Lightning Attracting Pillar.
Without a word, Huangfu Shengyu stepped forward.
As a Huangfu genius, he had undergone countless tests since childhood, and the methods were all roughly the same.
Though this was his first time seeing the Ancient Lightning Attracting Pillar, he knew how to use it.
He walked to the base of the pillar, placed his palm directly on its surface, and infused his bloodline into it.
*Crackle—* Nine-colored lightning erupted from his palm, coiling around the Ancient Lightning Attracting Pillar as it rapidly climbed upward.
Wherever the lightning passed, the originally pitch-black pillar shed its darkness, replaced by nine-colored radiance and entwined with nine-colored lightning.
This spectacle was captivating not only to the Huangfu Heavenly Clan members but even to Jie Shanxian.
Huangfu Shengyu's bloodline was indeed powerful—forget the Low, Common, and High zones.
Even in the Heavenly zone, his nine-colored lightning showed no hesitation, charging toward the Saint zone with unstoppable momentum.
But once it truly entered the Saint zone, its speed immediately slowed several times over, and a single character appeared on the sphere at the top of the Ancient Lightning Attracting Pillar.
"Low"!!!
This made Huangfu Shengyu's heart clench.
Could he be only of the Saint Low grade?
Fortunately, though the nine-colored lightning had slowed, it was still climbing.
After ascending a bit further, the "Low" character vanished, replaced by "Common."
And at that very moment, the nine-colored lightning released by Huangfu Shengyu stopped moving entirely.
"So I'm only of the Saint Common grade!!!"
Huangfu Shengyu's expression was complicated.
The result fell short of his expectations, but it wasn't entirely unacceptable.
On the contrary, the Huangfu Heavenly Clan patriarch's lips curved into an involuntary smile.
Only he knew that Huangfu Shengyu's bloodline was actually of the Saint Low grade.
