Earthlings' Bloodline Tier

Luo Feng immediately turned to look, while Hong and Lei Shen also stared intently.

“The human race in the cosmos is incredibly vast, with tens of millions of species, but they can be roughly divided into these ten tiers.” The burly man smiled, pointing at the screen. Luo Feng watched carefully; the list was very clear.

Human Bloodline First Tier: Reaching 'Domain Lord' upon adulthood.

Human Bloodline Second Tier: Reaching 'Cosmic Level' upon adulthood.

...

Third and Fourth Tiers: Reaching 'Star Level' upon adulthood.

Fifth and Sixth Tiers: Reaching 'Planet Level' upon adulthood.

Seventh and Eighth Tiers: Reaching 'Apprentice Level' upon adulthood.

Ninth and Tenth Tiers: Not even reaching a recognized level upon adulthood. The distinction between these two tiers is based on cultivation talent and the likelihood of powerful individuals appearing within the race.

“Which tier is your race's bloodline?” the burly man asked.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen exchanged glances. According to the list, Earthlings' bloodline tier was considered Ninth Tier, as most Earthlings currently didn't reach a recognized level upon adulthood. However... according to Luo Feng's plan, with the extensive use of 'Purple Light Dew,' he believed that within a century, Earthlings could advance to the Eighth Bloodline Tier.

“Ninth Tier,” Luo Feng said, looking at the burly man.

“Ninth Tier?” The burly man looked at Luo Feng in astonishment, then at Hong and Lei Shen with disbelief.

“Yes, Ninth Tier,” Hong affirmed.

“What's wrong with Ninth Tier? We can still break through on our own!” Lei Shen retorted.

The burly man chuckled, his laughter deep, hearty, and continuous: “That's not what I meant. I'm just very surprised that a race with a Ninth Tier bloodline could produce two First-tier Star Level individuals and one Ninth-tier Planet Level individual. This... is extremely rare, truly exceptional.”

A Ninth Tier bloodline signifies a weak foundation, making high achievements very difficult.

“I admire you greatly,” the burly man said. “And congratulations.”

“Congratulations?” The three of them were puzzled.

“Yes, your race's bloodline is relatively low, which makes your breakthrough and evolution extremely difficult, much harder than for those with higher bloodlines! However, conversely... if you use an 'Evolution Agent' to improve your bloodline, it will be relatively easy to enhance your inherent bloodline.” The burly man explained.

“Evolution Agent? Bloodline Evolution Agent?” A startled cry echoed in Luo Feng's mind.

“Babata, why so surprised?” Luo Feng communicated mentally.

“Luo Feng, this person speaking to you definitely comes from a super-powerful organization! A 'Bloodline Evolution Agent' is absolutely a restricted commodity in the cosmos. Without a certain status, there's no way to even acquire it. Unless you spend thousands or tens of thousands of times the money, you won't be able to buy a single Bloodline Evolution Agent.” Babata quickly added, “Find a way to get a Bloodline Evolution Agent from him; it's definitely a top-tier item.”

...

“What does an Evolution Agent do?” Hong pressed.

“Isn't our cultivation just life evolution?” Lei Shen asked, looking at the burly man with confusion.

The burly man smiled faintly: “Let me put it this way: the process of ordinary human cultivation is like building a house! Bloodline is the foundation of that house. A poor bloodline means a weak foundation! When someone with a poor bloodline cultivates, they are constantly building a tall building on a weak foundation. As the building grows taller, the foundation naturally needs to be strengthened repeatedly to support the increasing height.”

“But the taller the building, the more troublesome it is to reinforce the foundation.”

“Conversely, those with strong bloodlines have excellent foundations. They can easily build hundreds of stories high, directly becoming 'Domain Lords,' without even facing the dangers of bottlenecks.”

“A Bloodline Evolution Agent... its purpose is to modify the bloodline. It's like a one-time improvement of your 'foundation,' instantly transforming a poor foundation into a 'medium foundation.' This will make your future 'building construction' process much easier. Do you understand?” The burly man chuckled.

Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong all understood.

“A Bloodline Evolution Agent cannot directly enhance your strength, but it can make your future cultivation faster and easier,” the burly man smiled. “Of course, this Bloodline Evolution Agent is simply not sold in public stores or many other places. Because the cost of producing Bloodline Evolution Agents is very high, and the quantity is limited, they are naturally not sold externally. Only if someone offers an astonishingly high price might one be sold.”

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were not fools.

A super-powerful individual, at least a Domain Lord, speaking so much to them and mentioning Bloodline Evolution Agents...

“Do you know who developed the Bloodline Evolution Agent?” the burly man asked.

“No.”

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen shook their heads.

“The Virtual Universe Company,” the burly man stated directly. “The Virtual Universe Company, which possesses the most advanced technology in the human world of the cosmos! This Evolution Agent was developed by them.”

“Virtual Universe Company?” Luo Feng understood.

The Virtual Universe Company's network allows people from anywhere in the infinite cosmos to instantly access the network and communicate with friends. What kind of technology is that? And what's most astonishing is... the Virtual Universe Network exists not only in the original universe but also, of course, in the dark universe, which is even more astounding. The network constantly traverses the cosmos. What kind of technology is this? Unfathomable! Profound and mysterious!

“Haha, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?” The burly man smiled. “I am Mingyu, an external deacon of the Virtual Universe Company's 'Black Dragon Mountain Branch' stationed in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. You can call me Mr. Mingyu or Lord Mingyu.”

“Lord Mingyu.”

Luo Feng and the other two bowed, but Luo Feng's heart trembled. Heavens...

Babata was indeed right; this burly man truly came from a super-powerful organization! The Virtual Universe Company! This was one of the five giants of the cosmic human world, infinitely more powerful than even the Ganwu Universe Nation! Even the Yunmo Star Master was merely an ant before the Virtual Universe Company. After all, the Yunmo Star Master didn't dare to provoke the 'Ganwu Universe Nation.' Yet the Virtual Universe Company was spread across numerous universe nations. What an incredibly powerful force! In a branch of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, an external deacon was at least a Domain Lord! Powerful! Heart-stopping!

“So Lord Mingyu is from the Virtual Universe Company,” Lei Shen exclaimed in admiration.

The burly man Mingyu smiled faintly. He was also proud of this. Naturally, individuals from the five great giants would possess a sense of superiority!

“This 'Evolution Agent' is produced by our Virtual Universe Company,” the burly man Mingyu smiled. “However, Evolution Agents are restricted items, and very few circulate externally. Even if one could be purchased outside, the price would be an astronomical sum. But if you join our Virtual Universe Company, for internal members... especially absolute elites, Evolution Agents can even be provided for free.”

“Free?”

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were stunned.

What immense wealth! The Virtual Universe Company was indeed incredibly rich. And rightly so, who could compare to the Virtual Universe Company in terms of wealth? For example, in the Killing Space of the Killing Field, a First-tier Realm Lord mentalist spends 3.5 billion Ganwu coins per day. How astonishing was the total wealth of the Virtual Universe Company? Unimaginable. The Yunmo Star Master probably couldn't even compare to a single hair on their leg.

“Yes! Free!”

The burly man Mingyu looked at Luo Feng and the other two, his eyes shining. “Our Virtual Universe Company collects talented elites from numerous universe nations, and all three of you can be considered geniuses. You... your mental strength is truly exceptional. First-tier Star Level, and your mental amplitude exceeds 36, doesn't it?”

Luo Feng felt a blush of shame; his strong mental strength was due to the Golden Horned Beast.

“You're also not bad, a First-tier Star Level capable of possessing a domain,” the burly man Mingyu said, looking at Lei Shen.

“Both of you can be considered 'Third-tier Elites.'” The burly man finally looked at Hong, his eyes gleaming. “Of course, the most impressive is you... Ninth-tier Planet Level, not only possessing a domain but also reaching the third stage of the domain. Truly, truly... your comprehension is simply astonishing. You can be designated as a 'First-tier Elite,' a seed elite.”

Luo Feng was speechless. His powerful mental strength, a result of the Golden Horned Beast, was only designated as a 'Third-tier Elite.'

“Earlier, I arranged for two individuals to spar with you,” the burly man said, pointing at the screen. Three video feeds appeared, showing the white-robed female warrior and the white-robed youth.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were not surprised in the slightest. They had all guessed that the two powerful individuals who suddenly appeared were likely arranged by the man before them.

“She is a 'Special-tier Elite' of our Virtual Universe Company. And he is a Second-tier Elite,” the burly man explained.

“Special-tier Elite?”

Luo Feng and Lei Shen stared at the white-robed female warrior in the video. Even Hong, a 'Ninth-tier Planet Level with a three-stage domain,' was only rated as a First-tier Elite. Yet this female warrior was rated as a Special-tier Elite. No wonder she toyed with him and Lei Shen with such ease.

“The cosmos is vast; nations as large as the 'Black Dragon Mountain Empire' are countless.”

“Naturally, there are even more geniuses.”

“Our company cultivates talents, divided into Special-tier, First-tier, Second-tier, and Third-tier. These four levels are merely the classifications of our Black Dragon Mountain Branch! If it were the main company, the classifications would be even stricter,” the burly man Mingyu said. These words completely deflated Luo Feng and Lei Shen.

In the Black Dragon Mountain Branch, were the two of them considered at the bottom?

“Don't be discouraged. To be judged as a genius by our company, even if it's the lowest Third-tier Elite genius, you are still top-notch among warriors and mentalists,” the burly man Mingyu consoled them. “As long as you are willing to join the Black Dragon Mountain Branch, oh, right, I still don't know your three names.”

“Luo Feng.”

“Hong.”

“Lei Shen.”

Luo Feng and the other two didn't hesitate. These names held no taboos. For a behemoth like the Virtual Universe Company, they probably already had their names and data.

“Luo Feng and Lei Shen, once you two join, you can each receive a 'Bloodline Evolution Agent' for free. As for Hong, he can receive an 'S-type Bloodline Evolution Agent,'” the burly man Mingyu said, looking at the three of them. “Are you willing to join my Virtual Universe Company?”
