The Youlan Emperor's talent was only Eighth-class. While that's a respectable level, it pales in comparison to Divine Beasts like the Phoenix. The bloodlines of the Divine Beast Race are the most formidable; even a Mortal Grade bloodline is quite astonishing.
A Mortal Grade bloodline is already on par with an Eighth-class Talent. Their numbers are relatively small; if there were a lot of them, it would be a truly terrifying prospect.
Lin Xuan's rebuttal stunned Hei Chen. Everyone knew a little about the Youlan Emperor's situation, but no one expected that someone with a mere Eighth-class Talent could break through to the Spirit God Stage.
This was something none of them had considered. They had assumed the Youlan Emperor's Talent Level was Ninth-class, or perhaps even higher. Who would have thought it was only Eighth-class? To them, that was rather ordinary.
