The Ancient Rare Phoenix: Colourful Flames - Chapter 30
2 years later
At the Liu Clan training hall
There was a big crowd gathering around the training ground.
Every Clan member were present there because today was the yearly awakening ceremony in the Liu Clan for anyone above 5-8 years to determine their path in life.
As long as someone unlocks their attribute within the age of 5-8years then they can begin their cultivation journey. However if someone fail to unlock during that period then will only stay as mortal.
At the middle of the sparing ground, there was a gigantic broken piece of the ancient rune stone placed with a lot of engravings written which were flickering time to time. This stone was use for identifying the attribute and rank grading of someone during the awakening ceremony.
This ancient run stone was from unknown origin found in depth of the Forbidden Sea Zone which was later found by unknown monarch who published saying it can identify and grade any attribute found in all the Mortal Realm Plane during the ceremony process. Since then it has been used by every clan or sects in the awakening ceremony.
Next to the ancient run stone, Grand Elder Li was standing there and waiting to start the ceremony.
Grandpa Zong, Patriarch Fu and the grand elders were sitting in the podium high above the training ground. While the elders of the clan were all overseeing the whole process.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for grandpa Zong to announce to begin however grandpa Zong was just waiting patiently and looked toward the exit. But nobody was complaining as they knew he was waiting for his grandson to appear.
Finally after a while, Mother Bing covered with a veil on her face entered the training ground along with Hou and miss Lily following closely behind her.
Hou now was 5 years old this year but looked only a little bit taller than how he was 2 years ago while his eyes became bigger like someone around 10-12years.
During these 2 years, He spent his life very peaceful days and actually didn’t create any major incident which actually made grandpa Zong very anxious and restless as if he could forebode about something big happening soon. He also obtained many fire attribute resources from Wong Shi but he could only see them and that was the most painful time for him. After waiting and thinking about those fire attribute resource everyday for almost 2 years, Finally the day came today.
As for miss Lily, she looked more matured and beautiful than before. She didn’t look happy nor sad as she rarely showed her expression in these past 2 years. But has already accepted her fate.
Even though she was a prisoner here but was actually considered as babysitter in the face of other. So she also had peaceful life even while taking care of Hou like nanny. So every night she would train hard and just last month she finally broke through and reached at High Stage Spirit Origin Realm.
As soon as Mother BIng arrived, Grandpa Zong stood up and nodded his head to grand Elder Li. Then grand elder Li activated the formation placed on the ancient rune stone then hit the gong hard.
DONG—
With that, every child around 5-8years old started to go to the middle of the training ground. Hou also slowly started to join behind them.
While mother Bing and miss Lily started to head toward podium to seat.
After waiting for an hour, finally Hou turn came up.
Grand elder Li looked at him and told him.
” Place your hand on the ancient rune stone and close your eyes then try to feel your attribute in your hand. Once you notice any, then you can remove it. You got only 15 minutes time. Start ”
Hou looked the ancient rune stone then placed his hand and closed his eyes to feel his attribute.
However as soon as he placed and closed his eyes, he felt like he was being burned alive so he swiftly withdraw his hand and opened his eyes before started to examine his body everywhere. Finally seeing nothing wrong, he sighed in relief.
After a while he glanced at the ancient rune stone then started to loudly cursing at the grand elder Li.
” Lazy old geezer, you dumb fuck. How am I suppose to feel attribute at my hand when I’m being burned everywhere in the body? ”
When his voice died, there was complete silence in the entire training ground. They were too stupefied and speechless. Finally someone recovered and said.
” Little brat, stop making scene and complete the ceremony as there are still few waiting behind you. ”
Afterwards everything went back to normal. Since Hou placed his hand less than a sec, everyone just thought he was making scene.
However the grand elder Li didn’t care any of that instead just checked on the ancient run stone. As soon as he did, he froze for a while before looking at Hou with his eyes wide open.
Finally he stutteringly said.
” Hou, Fire attribute, grade rank Unknown ”
Immediately after that all the grand elders and Patriarch Fu stood up from their seats because that ancient rune stone could identify any known grade fire attribute found in the whole Mortal Realm Plane. All those grand elders and Patriarch Fu knew what it meant. It showed that Hou has the highest potential to easily comprehend the fire attribute and master all the fire attribute skills in the entire Mortal Realm Plane.
Only Mother Bing and grandpa Zong didn’t feel surprise seeing that result. 2 years ago they had clearly seen those flickering colourful fires within his eyes. Green fire among those could even bring him back to life. So they just silently watched it happen.
Meanwhile everyone was bewildered and wondering what was actually going on. Before someone could ask about it, Mother Bing suddenly stood up and walked toward Hou then taking him away out of the training ground along with miss Lily behind her.
After a while grandpa Zong stood up and scanned everyone before saying.
” Hou, Fire attribute, grade rank 1 ”
Then he swiftly left along with the grand elders and Patriarch Fu toward the Clan hall.
Finally after grandpa Zong disappeared, then everyone started to laugh, mock and pity Hou for grade rank 1. However grand elder Li just stood there silently and cursing them for their ignorance.
Before long, It spread around every corner in the city.
