Ling Bingtian continued, "That's right, it's mainly because I accepted the divine test from the Ice God."
"Through this divine trial, the Ice God and I established a special connection. With this connection, even if some changes occur in the divine realm, the Ice God can still communicate with me through this special connection."
"However, the timing of this contact is not something that Lord Ice God can decide. Lord Ice God said that He will establish contact with me when necessary."
Maintaining a serious demeanor, Ling Bingtian spoke completely untrue words without changing his expression.
Looking at the four elders beside him who were completely stunned, Ling Bingtian was actually filled with nervousness deep down.
From the very beginning of Ling Yongming's questioning, almost nothing Ling Bingtian said was true.
The Ice God? He had long since lost contact with that terrifying phantom of a crimson giant sword.
Ling Bingtian actually approved of this matter.
After all, a second-level god is still too weak in the grand context of the Douluo God Realm.
However, the Ice God had lost contact with him, but the divine mark left on his chest had not disappeared.
With the existence of this divine seal, coupled with his own need to develop martial arts, it might not be impossible to borrow the banner of the Ice God and use his power to his advantage.
Seeing the four people who were so surprised by the sheer amount of information that their "CPUs" were almost overloaded, Ling Bingtian continued to fan the flames.
"Actually, when the Ice God contacted me last time, he gave me a task."
"According to Him, this may be the content of my divine examination."
Ling Bingtian spoke the last sentence almost word by word.
Because he knew that these people, who had almost all undergone the Black-level Divine Trial, knew what they would gain by passing the Divine Trial.
"What? What are the contents of the divine test? Can you tell me? Did it say whether it's possible to complete it with the help of others?"
Upon hearing Ling Bingtian utter the last sentence word by word, Ling Yongyi was the first to react. He was also someone who had completed the Black-level God Test, and he knew all too well the benefits of passing the God Test.
Most importantly, according to records, those who successfully pass the Black-level God Test are almost guaranteed to become a Title Douluo.
If someone could complete the Red-level God Test, which is one level higher than the Black-level God Test, Ling Yongyi could only guess that person would become a being that surpasses even the Title Douluo—a god!
Therefore, Ling Yongyi asked several questions without thinking, all of which were related to the content of the divine test.
Upon hearing this, Ling Bingtian calmly replied, "The Ice God told me that one of His divine friends, with whom He has some connection, happens to need His help recently."
"And I just happened to appear, so the main purpose of my divine test was to help that Ice God help His friend, that is, to collect faith power for His friend."
"And that deity's name is the God of War!"
"Martial God..." The four members of the Ling family were lost in thought, unsure of what to say. The level of what Ling Bingtian had described far exceeded their expectations.
"Do gods also have needs?" The four thought to themselves, and their initial awe of the gods diminished somewhat.
After all, in their original understanding, gods were almost omnipotent.
"And the first test of my Red-Rank God Examination is to pass on the cultivation technique bestowed by the Martial God to ten qualified individuals, so that they may come to believe in the great Martial God. Grandpa, you can also help me during this time." Before he finished, Ling Bingtian continued, "The only problem is how to determine whether a person is qualified. Currently, only I can make this judgment."
After Ling Bingtian finished his long speech, it took quite a while for the elders to fully digest what he had said.
"Then..." Ling Yongsheng hesitated for a moment before asking again, "Xiao Tian, are we qualified to cultivate the Martial God Technique?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Bingtian felt the longing in the eyes of the four elders before him almost solidify into liquid, demonstrating the immense attraction the so-called Martial God Technique held for them.
The four of them didn't doubt Ling Bingtian's words at all. On the one hand, in their eyes, Ling Bingtian was just a child of about six years old. Even if he was a bit precocious, why would he lie to his family? On the other hand, Ling Bingtian had no reason to fabricate a martial god to deceive them. Ling Bingtian's identity as the successor of the Ice God was undeniable.
Besides, could a six-year-old child possibly possess a martial arts technique without divine favor? It's simply impossible. Therefore, the four of them believed Ling Bingtian's words one hundred percent.
"Um..." Based on his observations at the city gate, Ling Bingtian knew that Ling Yongming and Ling Yongsheng were capable of cultivating martial arts, but due to their age, they could not reach a high level. He estimated that his grandfather was in a similar situation.
However, his adoptive father is still in his prime, and he should have considerable talent.
Without hesitation, Ling Bingtian released a wisp of his Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul, opened his Eye of Fortune, and scanned the situation of the four people in the room.
As Ling Bingtian had expected, the bamboo pillars of light above the heads of the three Ling Yongsheng brothers all had a faint blue color and were about three or four sections long.
However, the five-sectioned purple beam of light shimmering above his adoptive father Ling An's head demonstrated his exceptional talent. Had he been younger, Ling An's talent might have reached an even higher level; all the cultivation techniques in the study mentioned that the best time to practice was during one's youth.
However, there is still a problem: with his father's cultivation level of 92nd Title Douluo, can he really still cultivate the techniques in the study? Will the soul power in his body conflict with the newly cultivated energy? These are all issues that must be considered.
However, a slight attempt should be fine. After all, with Ling An's cultivation level as a Title Douluo, if something were to happen, he should be able to expel the new energy from his body.
Thinking this, Ling Bingtian replied directly: "Based on my observation, my father meets the requirements of the Martial God. As for my three grandfathers, they are capable of cultivation, but they may not quite meet the requirements of the Martial God."
Ling An's face visibly lit up with uncontainable joy. A cultivation technique bestowed by the gods! What an honor it would be for a believer to be able to successfully cultivate it!
Correspondingly, the three Ling brothers showed a certain degree of disappointment on their faces.
However, given their age, they had long since become indifferent to these things, so they were not too disappointed.
After a short while, the three elders calmed down.
Ling Yongsheng spoke first: "Since we old guys don't quite meet the requirements of a Martial God, let's look at it later."
"But since An'er meets the requirements of the God of War, Xiao Tian, why don't you give the cultivation technique bestowed by the God of War to your father to try and see how it goes?"
The two elders nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Not to mention Ling An, who was eagerly watching his son, Ling Bingtian felt that he could even see stars representing expectation in his father's eyes.
"Okay." Ling Bingtian replied, leaning back on the sofa and saying, "The Martial God gave me more than one cultivation technique, all of which are stored in the Divine Seal. I need to mobilize my soul power and spiritual power to enter the Divine Seal and imprint the techniques into my memory."
"So he might fall asleep later, Father, Grandfathers, don't be surprised."
"No problem, no problem, we'll keep watch here. You can go now." Ling Yongsheng waved his hand, letting Ling Bingtian know that he and the others were aware of the situation.
Seeing this, Ling Bingtian said no more. He pretended to use his soul power to activate the divine seal on his chest, but in reality, he was directing his consciousness into the study inside the divine pearl.
