I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1841 - 1835: Is It That Difficult?

"You want to choose me?" Zhang Menglong also showed a surprised expression.

Zhang Menglong, who was of the eighth-grade Divine Breath, could almost entirely rely on his own strength and his understanding of the martial arts techniques from the Divine Profound Hall to gain an upper hand in the sparring with Wan Ning.

And now he was different than before, although he only possessed a first-grade Divine Cultivation, he was much stronger than before, and he didn’t think Wan Ning was a fool, so where did his confidence come from?

"This guy really knows how to choose. He actually wants to challenge the Clan Leader directly right off the bat."

"Does he think he’s really impressive or that picking people like this is cool?"

"This guy is really lighting a lamp in the toilet, just looking for shit. Whoever touches the Clan Leader dies!"

"I bet one million Divine Crystals that he’ll die horribly."

"There’s no difference between your bet and betting that the Clan Leader is a man. If you want to bet, make it bigger, like how many minutes it will take to finish the fight."

"Minutes, who are you looking down on? Does our Clan Leader need minutes to deal with someone like this? Isn’t it a matter of seconds?"

"Gu Xiao, I know you have some skills," facing the jeers from the Sunset Sect disciples, Wan Ning not only showed no displeasure but seemed surprisingly calm, "You are indeed the most outstanding person I have met apart from Lei Poguan, and you’ve gotten stronger over the years, but I haven’t been standing still either!"

As Wan Ning walked forward, his aura expanded like the vast sea, and where he walked, sharp metal spikes emerged from the ground.

These metal spikes weren’t formed by Wan Ning’s energy but were spontaneously formed by the metal elements in the earth resonating with some energy from his body!

"He..." The three direct disciples all wore expressions of disbelief on their faces. They knew that Wan Ning was the core disciple who got humiliated by Gu Xiao last time, and to their amazement, he hadn’t fallen into despair and had instead transcended himself.

This kind of energy resonance was precisely a sign of someone activating a Divine Vein and comprehending a Dao!

"I didn’t expect him to overcome such a setback; from now on, his future is limitless."

"To have activated a Divine Vein, even we three haven’t achieved this yet."

The three direct disciples wore solemn expressions. They might have learned some martial arts techniques from their teacher that core disciples had no right to learn, but they might not be a match for Wan Ning, who had activated a Divine Vein!

Maybe after some time, Wan Ning could advance to the Dao Realm, and by then, he would become an Elder of the Divine Profound Hall, further widening the gap between them. "Gu Xiao, I have to thank you," Wan Ning stopped, and the metal on the ground gathered at his feet to form a high platform, lifting him into the air, "If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have made such a significant breakthrough in these three years."

"Then shouldn’t you kneel and kowtow twice to me, and serve me tea and massage my shoulders?" Facing such an overwhelming pressure, Zhang Menglong’s expression remained calm and composed.

"After I kill you, I’ll find a beautiful place with mountains and rivers for your grave." Wan Ning smirked, and his aura suddenly skyrocketed.

A massive amount of metal elements on the ground was roused by him, forming a floating armor around his body, while the rest turned into weapons floating beside him. For an awakener with a metallic Divine Vein like him, ordinary weapons and armor were of no help.

"A metallic Divine Vein is indeed indestructible."

"If I were to fight him, my chances of winning would be at most thirty percent!"

In their hearts, the three direct disciples felt somewhat envious. Activating a Divine Vein required not only gift but also luck, mindset, and other factors. Although their gift surpassed Wan Ning’s, they lacked his experiences, which allowed the gap between them to inversely widen.

"How could this be? The Divine Profound Hall actually dispatched such a powerful person."

"A powerhouse who activated a Divine Vein..." In the distant Shenxiao Empire’s military fortress, everyone was focused on this decisive battle. When Wan Ning displayed his formidable strength, a sense of heaviness arose in everyone’s heart.

A powerhouse who had activated a Divine Vein was simply unbeatable below the Dao Realm!

Everyone’s reaction made Wan Ning very satisfied. He had swallowed his pride for three years, just to one day wash away his humiliation and to take this opportunity to show everyone his potential!

Once back in the Divine Profound Hall, as soon as the Sect’s Elders learned of this, they would spare no effort in cultivating him. A Dao Realm powerhouse was an extremely valuable resource for every superpower!

"Gu Xiao," Wan Ning looked down on him, "You obviously had the chance to run back to the Sunset Sect like a dog; do you regret it now?"

"Regret?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Sorry, I never knew what regret is. I know everything about your Divine Profound Hall, and you think activating a Divine Vein makes you immortal?"

"Gu Xiao, it seems you still don’t understand what activating a Divine Vein means." Wan Ning said arrogantly, "It means that before long, I’ll advance to the Dao Realm. How can you compete with me?"

"Moreover, I know more than just the martial arts of the Divine Profound Hall!"

"Divine Veins? Who doesn’t have them!"

Zhang Menglong also took a step forward, and sixteen different energies suddenly appeared around him. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Sound, Light, Darkness...these sixteen attributes included all the known types of Divine Veins.

In that instant, everyone’s pupils dilated noticeably. It’s not unheard of for a martial artist to possess multiple Divine Veins, but most boast two at most; three counts as monstrous, and five would warrant a place in history books.

But simultaneously possessing all sixteen Divine Veins? That was simply beyond belief!

Wan Ning’s lips trembled repeatedly. What kind of monster was he facing?

He forced himself to remain calm, "No, he merely possesses sixteen Divine Veins; he hasn’t activated all of them. If he only activated one and advanced to the Dao Realm, there’s no telling if he would even surpass me. The difficulty of activating several Divine Veins before reaching the Dao Realm is astronomical."

"Are you thinking that I have sixteen Divine Veins but haven’t activated a single one, so I pose no threat?" Zhang Menglong hit the nail on the head regarding Wan Ning’s thoughts.

For an ordinary person, naturally, it would be impossible to activate these Divine Veins. Even the legendary monster who set an unattainable goal died at the Half-step Dao Realm. But as the Ultimate Lifeform, Zhang Menglong didn’t need to comprehend the Dao; they were engrained in his bloodline.

When Zhang Menglong broke through to the first-grade Divine Cultivation, these sixteen Divine Veins fully awakened!

"Sorry to disappoint you!"

A golden energy also swirled around Zhang Menglong as a metal platform suddenly rose from the ground, lifting him to the same height as Wan Ning.

"Is activating a Divine Vein supposed to be difficult?"
