The Lin's Patriarch is weird.

Chapter 150: 150. Zhaofeng Advancement.

Was the ancient altar in the family defective?

That was the only logical explanation Lin Xuan could come up with at this point.

His own daughter had been recorded as possessing only a First-Grade Mortal Rank Martial Spirit when she awakened.

Yet later, it was revealed that her Martial Spirit was actually Earth Rank.

Now there was Lin Zhaofeng.

He had also been recorded as possessing only a Second-Grade Mortal Rank Martial Spirit during his awakening.

Yet the artifact was now telling him that Zhaofeng possessed a Second-Grade Earth Rank Martial Spirit.

Two separate cases could hardly be a coincidence.

Lin Xuan took several deep breaths before finally making up his mind.

He decided to inspect the ancient altar himself.

What did he have to lose?

Besides, he now had an artifact that could actually provide information about objects.

Since it took such great pride in being a Myth Grade artifact, there was no reason not to make use of its abilities.

With that thought, Lin Xuan stopped thinking and headed toward the open area where the massive white stone altar stood.

Before long, he arrived before the ancient structure.

The familiar white stone altar stood silently beneath the sky, its surface carrying an age that Lin Xuan could never determine.

He stared at it for several moments before speaking, "Artifact, appraise this altar."

Almost immediately, the system’s presence descended upon the ancient structure.

Lin Xuan quietly waited for the system’s response.

The altar had existed within the Lin Family for countless years. Yet, according to every record preserved in the clan’s history, the Lin Family had never even been a ranked clan before his arrival.

That alone made the altar’s existence extremely strange.

For something so ancient to have remained in the possession of an insignificant clan for generations, there had to be a reason behind it. Lin Xuan had always been curious about its origins, but until now, he had never had a way to investigate it.

What he had not expected was for even the system to take its time.

His brows gradually furrowed since the system rarely took this long to respond, it was at most always done in seconds.

After five minutes of waiting, the familiar mechanical voice finally sounded.

[Item: Dragonic Altar]

[Grade: Myth Grade]

[Description: An altar that once belonged to the forgotten Dragon Tribes.]

[Abilities:]

[1. Awakens the Martial Spirit of a person.]

[2. Awakens dormant bloodlines within a person.]

[3. Indestructible.]

"Huh?"

Lin Xuan’s eyes widened and swallowed instinctively.

For several moments, he simply stared at the information before him.

A Myth Grade altar plus an altar that could awaken not only Martial Spirits but also dormant bloodlines.

Was this really the same Martial Spirit Awakening Altar that had been used by the Lin Family for generations?

Lin Xuan’s breathing became slightly heavier.

He had never imagined that the altar out in the open would be Myth grade.

Nor had he imagined that it possessed the ability to awaken dormant bloodlines.

This discovery was far beyond anything he had anticipated.

It took several minutes before the excitement in his heart finally settled as he remembered why he had come here in the first place.

His expression gradually became thoughtful.

If the altar was truly Myth Grade, then why hadn’t it properly revealed the Martial Spirits of his daughter and the other kid? Is the altar defective despite being a myth grade?

The thought had barely surfaced when Lin Xuan frowned.

Back then, the system had clearly displayed a message.

[Unfortunately, someone awakened a Grade One Martial Spirit.]

One might argue that the system notification didn’t mention what rank of martial spirit it was, so it could have been an earth grade.

But the system itself possessed the ability to provide him with Martial Spirits far beyond the Mortal Rank. It had even given him a Seventh-Grade Legend Rank Martial Spirit before.

There was no reason for the system to misunderstand the result of a Martial Spirit awakening.

In that case...

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed before suddenly slapping his forehead.

"Of course."

He had forgotten the most important factor.

His daughter was a regressor, she possessed the memories of the future.

"She could make use of those opportunities, resources, cultivation methods, and perhaps even have already improved hers and also a person’s Martial Spirit."

It was entirely possible after all.

"I’ll have to talk to her. Maybe that new talent of Zhaofeng’s has something to do with her."

Still, that question mark beside Zhaofeng’s name is bothering me. Don’t tell me he’s another regressor.

Lin Xuan stared at the ancient altar for a long while.

"What kind of history does our family possess that we have something belonging to the Dragon Tribes?"

He paused for a moment before shaking his head.

"And if it isn’t because of some ancient history... Damn, my ancestors were too lucky."

There was no other explanation he could think of.

Either the Lin Family had once possessed an astonishing origin that had been completely erased from its records, or some ancestor had stumbled upon this terrifying artifact purely through luck.

Neither possibility seemed particularly reliable.

Lin Xuan glanced at the altar one final time before turning away.

At the other end of the Lin Family estate, a completely different scene was unfolding.

Within a secluded courtyard, Lin Zhaofeng sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly shut.

Dense spiritual energy surged around his body like a raging tide.

His breathing was steady, yet the aura surrounding him had already reached an astonishing level.

The spiritual energy within his dantian continued to condense, compressing again and again until it finally reached its limit.

A profound pressure suddenly erupted from his body and the spiritual energy in the courtyard trembled violently.

Lin Zhaofeng’s body shook as the vast sea of spiritual energy within him suddenly began to undergo a fundamental transformation.

The Qi within his dantian rapidly condensed.

Then, at the very center of that enormous reservoir of energy, a tiny golden light appeared.

The golden light continued to grow larger and brighter until finally a dazzling golden core emerged within his dantian.

At that instant, the aura surrounding Lin Zhaofeng surged violently.

Golden Core Realm!

He had succeeded in entering this realm while still being twelve!

The terrifying pressure that erupted from his body gradually subsided as the surrounding spiritual energy returned to normal.

Lin Zhaofeng slowly opened his eyes and for several moments, he simply stared at his hands before his lips slowly curled upward.

Lin Zhaofeng then threw his head back and laughed.

"Ha ha ha! Ha... ha ha ha!"

Lin Zhaofeng clenched his fists tightly.

"With this as my foundation, in this lifetime... I’ll have my sweet revenge."

His voice trembled slightly with anticipation.
