Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 66: Achieving the Family Foundation Seed
"What's going on?"

Myna knew that Lin Qianfan's strength was invincible in the same realm in the Lin family, and was much stronger than himself back then, but Lin Qianfan came out later than him, so he must not have pursued a quick victory.

"It's just a small challenge for myself, it's okay."

"You boy."

Lin Qianfan got three excellent results in a row, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would be promoted to the foundation-building seed. He ranked first in the first two levels, which was enough for him to compete for the two meridian-protecting pills.

Even if the opponent is not convinced and wants to compete, there is no need to worry. A first-level shipbuilder can crush most of the immortals in the hundred arts.

Half an hour later,
A total of thirteen candidates have emerged, and twelve have come out one after another. Although the results have not been announced yet, it can be judged from the young people's poorly disguised expressions that someone must have been eliminated at this stage.

"Why haven't you come out yet?"

There was one person who never came out, and everyone was waiting for him.

Another half an hour later,
Amidst the extreme suffering of a small number of people, the last person walked out of the formation in a depressed state.

"Hehe~ Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, it was a lucky chance~"

He felt a little embarrassed looking at everyone's unfriendly gazes, but the smile that he couldn't suppress showed that he must have passed.

Before announcing the results, the elder guarding the temple took a special look at the haggard and listless young man, and was speechless.

This person is different from others. Others strive to win and kill their targets.

But in this man's ten battles, only one was in which he killed his opponent directly by taking advantage of the situation, and the other was in which he killed his opponent by ambushing and sneak attack while chasing and escaping.

In the remaining eight one-on-one battles, they all used various battlefield terrains to delay time and disguised counter-reconnaissance to avoid the opponent's pursuit and dragged the competition to the end.

That’s right, his record is two wins and eight draws in ten games, which is also a record for the Lin family in this regard.

"The five people who performed well in this round are Lin Qianbao, Lin Qiansuo, Lin Qianyu, Lin Qianfan, and Lin Qianxue."

Relying on the combat qualities accumulated from his fourteen years of monster hunting experience, Mynah Brother unleashed all of them in this competition. With the fastest ten consecutive wins, he successfully became the first person in this level.

However, what surprised Lin Qianfan was that the young Lin Qianxue with ice spirit roots could actually complete all ten challenges with victory. How did she accumulate the fighting instinct at such a young age?
"She's different from you. Her great aunt is that person, so she was confirmed to have spiritual roots when she was young. She started cleansing her marrow and bones and learning the knowledge of immortal cultivation in advance."

"Later, when I was six years old, it was confirmed that I had ice spirit roots and I began to cultivate. I was given a full schedule of courses. Although I was young, I actually had a lot of knowledge."

The Fourth Elder saw that Yanglongwan performed very well in this stage, and the brothers saw that Lin Qianxue was very confused, so they took the initiative to answer his questions.

"That one? Auntie..."

There are very few people in the Lin family who can make the Fourth Elder remain secretive and dare not call their names directly, and they are only the two Jindan cultivators on both sides and the three Jiadan cultivators who hold great power.

Substituting the basic conditions and using the process of elimination, we can determine Lin Qianxue's identity. She is actually the great-niece of a Jindan cultivator.

Considering that the Jindan cultivator in Yulong Fairy City has no direct descendants, Lin Qianxue's identity is directly equivalent to her granddaughter.

The armor is fully stacked, and it belongs to the most noble little princess of the Lin family.

"I see. That makes sense."

Spiritual roots are determined by fate, but they don’t have to be detected until the age of eight. In fact, there are many signs of people with spiritual roots.

However, these appearances cannot confirm the existence of spiritual roots 100%, so the Lin family all start testing for spiritual roots at the age of eight.

However, the abilities of Jindan cultivators far exceed the imagination of Qi-refining cultivators. They can naturally confirm whether a child has spiritual roots from an early age, and then directly train them towards becoming cultivators from the time they start to speak.

Children from ordinary families only start practicing and systematically learning the knowledge of cultivating immortals after they have confirmed their spiritual roots at the age of eight. By that time, they have already practiced for two years and learned the knowledge of cultivating immortals for five or six years.

While younger people tend to have weaker learning and receptive abilities, as someone from a Jindan family, their education level is beyond the reach of ordinary families. "The person who performed averagely in this round is... Lin Liniu..."

Uncle Niu has been a demon hunter for more than 20 years and has experienced many battles, but unfortunately he ended up in a draw.

Combat experience is only part of combat quality, and having a lot of combat experience does not necessarily mean you are very powerful.

Combat effectiveness is a very comprehensive ability, and is also affected by many aspects such as skills, attributes, means, and ideas.

"The person who passed this level is... Lin Qianling..."

It seems unfair to put those with eight wins and two draws and those with two wins and eight draws in the same category of "qualified", but it is not.

Because even if you survive on the battlefield, letting the enemy escape is also a big mistake, and letting a few enemies escape will cause endless troubles.

Nine wins and one draw may be mistakes caused by various reasons, but eight wins and two draws are the limit of personal ability, and the gap in between is still quite large.

Killing the enemy and being able to defeat but not kill the enemy are two very different dimensions after all.

Lin Qianling, who had performed well in the previous level, performed mediocrely in this level. After all, the alchemist who always stayed in the alchemy room lacked practical experience.

"The person eliminated in this round is..."

Yulong Xiancheng eliminated two more people in this level, and eliminated six people in the three levels before and after. The elimination rate was as high as 50%, which is evident.

Compared to Yanglongwan, everyone is diligent, everyone can find things to do, and everyone needs to obtain resources through labor.

Some families of the Lin family in Yulong Fairy City have been passed down for too long, and their family background is very wealthy. Once a child with good talents appears in the family, they will hold the child in their hands and support him with all their strength.

The money was earned by the direct ancestors, so it is definitely right to use it for one's own descendants.

But cultivating immortals is not something that can be done in isolation. One cannot stray too far from the front line. The Storm Ocean is not a peaceful place either, so those who work in isolation and lack experience will be eliminated.

Don’t they understand this?
got it!

Those who practice immortal cultivation are generally intelligent people, but it is extremely difficult to overcome their instincts and bad habits, especially when a young talent finally emerges after many generations of inheritance in the family.

If Lin Qianfan's family had not been so poor, and his father and mother had not been people who had suffered hardships at the bottom of society, Lin Qianfan might have been raised as a useless little thing before he awakened his memory.

At this point, it is enough to show that although Yulong Xiancheng has improved many problems after the separation, its training mechanism is still distorted.

Are the higher-ups aware of these problems?
Of course I know!

But some of the upper class were brought up in this way, and they also have descendants with four or five spiritual roots, so they will naturally protect the interests of their own group. This is part of human nature.

After three consecutive rounds of assessment, the students were divided into three levels, including four people who were directly promoted to foundation-building seeds, seven people with potential, and six people who were directly eliminated.

Those who have obtained three excellent direct-to-foundation seeds are:

Lin Qianfan, Lin Qiansuo, Lin Qianxue, and Lin Qianyu.

"Congratulations, remember to treat me later~"

Although Starling did not become a foundation-building seed, he ranked very high among potential people, and his comprehensive score should be the first below the foundation-building seeds.

He also has a very high priority, and will be ranked at the top in the sequence for exchanging for Foundation Establishment Pills in the future.

"Please! Please! Don't leave until you are drunk!"
