Flender looked at the four large characters for Canglan Academy on the heavenly screen, and pouted sourly, "Hmph, it's just some wild chicken academy that popped out of nowhere, they just got lucky."
Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who were beside him, heard Flender's complaint and couldn't help but quietly think that when it came to "wild chickens," their Shrek Academy, which lacked everything, was probably the more fitting description.
However, they dared not speak such blunt truths directly in front of their dean.
GrandmasterYu Xiaogang's focus was entirely different. He frowned, very puzzled: "I've heard of Dugu Bo. Rumor has it that he has a very good relationship with the Heaven Dou imperial family and is Prince Xue Xing's guest elder."
"Logically, his granddaughter should be studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so why would she go to this unheard-of Canglan Academy?"
Flender, as expected of someone well-informed, immediately chuckled and began to share the gossip he had heard:
"Xiaogang, you were at Nuoding Academy before, so your information was quite limited. According to rumors, a few years ago, Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was forcibly taken away by an unknown mysterious expert."
"Then, not long after, Dugu Bo fell out with the Heaven Dou imperial family, left the imperial family, and no longer helped Prince Xue Xing and the Fourth Prince Xue Beng."
"Both of them were very displeased about this, claiming that Dugu Bo was ungrateful and saying that if it weren't for their protection, Dugu Bo's old life would have been lost long ago!"
Tang San and the others next to them immediately showed expressions of eager spectators.
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but press on, "And then? And then?"
Flender chuckled, "What 'and then'? A Titled Douluo cannot be insulted! He immediately taught Prince Xue Xing and that good-for-nothing Prince Xue Beng a severe lesson on the spot, almost poisoning them both to death."
"They claimed it was a life-saving grace, but Dugu Bo also served as an offering and bodyguard for the Heaven Dou imperial family for several years without complaint. Those two really thought highly of themselves, getting carried away and not even looking at who they were dealing with! That's a Titled Douluo!"
"Titled Douluo come and go as they please, with little reverence for the so-called imperial family. After all, no matter how numerous the imperial army, in front of true top-tier experts, they are nothing more than a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
This matter, of course, ultimately ended with the Heaven Dou imperial family apologizing with a humiliated expression.
Yu Xiaogang pushed up his glasses thoughtfully after listening. "So, that means the mysterious expert who took Dugu Yan back then was very likely from this Canglan Academy?"
"What kind of heaven-defying methods does this person possess to allow Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor SerpentSpirit to evolve twice in a row? For ordinary people's Spirits, evolving once in a lifetime is already a huge stroke of luck."
Yu Xiaogang sighed with emotion, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.
He really wanted to meet that person and thoroughly discuss the topic of Spirit evolution.
Rather, he also wanted to discuss whether his Luo San Pao could evolve in that person's hands.
Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Mansion, inside the study.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
"Qian Renxue" sat upright behind the desk, and beside her, the figures of Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo appeared like ghosts.
Snake Lance Douluo whispered, "Young Master, this Heavenly Dao Ranking actually reveals the affiliation of those on the list. This..."
Porcupinefish Douluo also chimed in, "Your Seraphim Martial Soul will definitely be on the list. But then... will your identity also be exposed?"
This was their biggest concern.
No one knew whether, if the name "Qian Renxue" appeared, its affiliated power would be displayed as "Heaven Dou Imperial Family" or "Spirit Hall."
If it were based on her current affiliation, it would undoubtedly be the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
But if it were based on her true identity, it would be Spirit Hall.
If it displayed the former, then all her schemes in the Heaven Dou Empire over these years would be ruined!
Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice, "Let's wait and see. If the situation turns unfavorable for us, we will immediately execute the backup plan and evacuate Heaven Dou City!"
Despite saying so, a glimmer of hope still remained in her heart.
After all, she had been dormant here for too long, investing countless efforts. How could she be willing to give up everything now!
Wouldn't all these years of effort be in vain!
And just then, the golden subtitles in front of everyone's eyes changed drastically once again!
A new ranking was about to appear!
[Spirit Ranking, Nineteenth Place: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon]
[Holder: Yu Yuanzhen (Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan)]
[Evaluation: Top-tier attack systemBeast Spirit. The might of the dragon race, wielding thunder, mastering the secret method of dragon transformation. Though not a true dragon, it possesses divine power. As the continent's number one Beast Spirit, its reputation is illustrious, but its bloodline shows signs of decline and its potential is limited.]
[Reward: spirit power level increased by one, all spirit ring lifespans increased by six hundred years, basic lightning attribute increased by ten percent!]
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The moment he saw his name appear on the list, he was utterly stunned.
How could the continent's number one Beast Spirit only be ranked nineteenth!
Didn't that mean the quality of his Blue Lightning Tyrant DragonSpirit was similar to Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Dragon Emperor!
Moreover, Dugu Yan's Spirit development was definitely far inferior to his, which meant that if they were both at the same level.
Their rankings would most likely swap!
After Yu Yuanzhen understood, the expression on his face visibly turned ashen, then finally a deep purple!
"Nineteenth?!"
He stared intensely at the number, his eyes almost popping out, his whole body trembling violently from extreme rage.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!"
A roar of disbelief erupted from his throat, and terrifying spirit power fluctuations instantly swept through the entire council hall!
"My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! The recognized number one Beast Spirit on the continent! How could it only be ranked nineteenth?!"
"Second to last?!"
This was a direct slap to his face!
He had just said that if Clear Sky Hammer could be first, his Blue Lightning Tyrant DragonSpirit could be second!
It was indeed second.
But!
It was second to last!
He was unconvinced. If he was ranked nineteenth, then how strong must the Spirits ahead of him be?
Could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Bone Dragon and Seven Kill Sword make it onto the list?
If they engaged in a direct confrontation, even if Bone Dragon held the title of the continent's number one defensive Spirit, how long could it withstand his attacks?
Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword?
He fully activated his Dragon Transformation, his cultivation comparable to a peak level ninety-six. Who was stronger, who was weaker, he would only know after a fight!
Yu Yuanzhen always felt that as the sect master, how could he lose to these two!
But Yu Yuanzhen overlooked one point.
Bone Dragon's defense was strong, but its spatial abilities were also strong, so why would it take a direct hit?
And Chen Xin, at least, was a level ninety-six expert; even if his talent was the worst among three generations, he was still stronger than Yu Yuanzhen, who was level ninety-five!
Yu Yuanzhen had the Dragon Transformation Secret Method, but didn't Chen Xin also have self-created Spirit Abilities?
