“Fire-Devouring Stone, one of the heirlooms of the Fire God clan, can measure the concentration and strength of Fire God power. The stronger the Fire God power, the stronger the reaction of the Fire-Devouring Stone!” Shawn Bennett explained.

Ryan Bennett continued to nod, raising his sword-like eyebrows as he looked at Lily Parker on the stage.

The middle-aged man’s gaze was full of doting affection as he said, “Lily, put your hand on the Fire-Devouring Stone and unleash your Fire God power with all your might. I will accurately judge your Fire God power level!”

Lily Parker revealed a confident smile, placed her small hand on the stone, and with a sudden shout, a gust of wind arose, her skirt ribbons fluttered, and her long legs became even more prominent. Flames actually appeared between her palms and imprinted themselves onto the Fire-Devouring Stone. With a “boom,” the stone burst into flames three meters high!

“Haha, Lily Parker, Fire God power level three!” the middle-aged man announced with a smile.

Lily Parker clapped her hands and gracefully floated down from the stage.

The middle-aged man continued loudly, “Peng family, Susan Parker, come up!”

As the younger generation of clan members took turns testing their Fire God power, the expressions of the clan members varied—some were delighted, others disappointed. When a girl like Lily Parker reached level three Fire God power upon coming of age, the whole clan naturally celebrated, but not every family had such joy.

The middle-aged man announced the Fire God power levels one after another—

“Peng family, Susan Parker, Fire God power level one!”

“Peng family, Evan Parker, Fire God power level one!”

“Cao family, John Carter, Fire God power level two!”

“Cao family, Henry Carter, Fire God power level one!”

“Mi family, Jack Cooper, Fire God power level one!”

“Mi family, Logan Cooper, Fire God power level two!”

……

Finally, it was Ryan Bennett and Shawn Bennett’s turn.

“Brother, I’ll go first!”

Shawn Bennett was called by name, greeted Ryan Bennett, and leapt onto the high platform in a single bound—three meters high—leaving Ryan Bennett dumbfounded: “What a strong cousin!”

“Ye family, Shawn Bennett, Fire God power level one!”

With the middle-aged man’s announcement, Shawn Bennett’s level was revealed. He walked down from the stage without joy or sorrow; level one was rather mediocre, as basically anyone with Fire God clan blood would have at least level one Fire God power.

“Ye family, Brian Bennett, come up!”

The middle-aged man announced loudly from the stage, looking down at Ryan Bennett with arrogance and clear hostility.

Ryan Bennett didn’t know the reason, nor did he say much. He walked up the stone steps to the high platform, immediately drawing laughter from the onlooking clan members. Someone even burst out laughing wildly: “The Fire God clan is the family of the strongest Fire God warriors, but who would have thought someone would still be so useless after coming of age, hahaha!”

Ryan Bennett was a bit confused. After getting on stage, he placed his hand on the Fire-Devouring Stone.

The middle-aged man couldn’t help but laugh, his expression contemptuous: “Go ahead, young master of the Ye family. I want to see just what you, a debauched wastrel, are capable of!”

Ryan Bennett exerted his strength, but the Fire-Devouring Stone showed no reaction at all. In fact, Ryan Bennett couldn’t feel any power surging within him, let alone Fire God power.

Resolutely turning around, Ryan Bennett calmly walked down the steps one by one.

“Ye family, Brian Bennett, not a trace of Fire God power!”

……

“Hahaha!”

“Ha ha!”

“Ha……”

As soon as the middle-aged man’s assessment was announced, the entire hall erupted in laughter.

Ryan Bennett looked up at those laughing people and asked, “They, Fire God power level zero, is that so strange?”

Shawn Bennett looked at Ryan Bennett oddly and said, “Brother, in this world, level nine Fire God power isn’t rare. What’s rare is that there has never been a single member of the Fire God clan without even a trace of Fire God power. Did you… did you not use your strength?”

“I did, I used every bit of strength I had!” Ryan Bennett said very seriously.

Looking back, Nathan Bennett’s face was gloomy. He turned and left the grand hall without a word. This time, his son’s zero Fire God power had completely plunged Nathan Bennett’s heart into the abyss. He knew that from now on, the Ye family would become the laughingstock of the Fire God clan, and his son was destined to be a good-for-nothing.

……

Ye family, ancestral hall.

“Sigh…”

With a helpless sigh, Nathan Bennett seemed to have aged considerably. His fat body was slightly hunched as he stood before the ancestral statue, looking at Ryan Bennett, and said, “Brian, I really didn’t expect this. You must have indulged in wine and women for far too long, to the point that you’ve exhausted even the last trace of Fire God power in your body…”

He took out a roll of fiery red cloth from his robe, densely covered in tiny characters, looking much like a book.

“This Fire God Manual, I originally planned to pass it on to you today, but I never thought you wouldn’t even be able to condense a single trace of Fire God power…”

Nathan Bennett looked at Ryan Bennett helplessly, unable to bring himself to blame him any further. After all, this wasn’t something Ryan Bennett could choose.

Who would have thought, Ryan Bennett stepped forward, reaching out his hand: “The Fire God Manual, let me take a look…”

“You have no Fire God power. What’s the use of looking at it?”

Even so, Nathan Bennett still handed the Fire God Manual to Ryan Bennett.

Ryan Bennett took the scroll, and immediately felt a warm surge of fire energy flow into his palm, his spirits lifting. He couldn’t help but be secretly amazed: This scroll is truly extraordinary!
