"Keep watching."

After Bibi Dong spoke calmly, she withdrew her gaze and stared intently at the Heavenly Dao Rankings, afraid of missing a single scene.

Her thoughts were a complete mess. She wanted to flee, yet she also wanted to keep watching.

Below, Hu Liena, her face twisted in pain, and Ju and Gui, who were equally pale, exchanged glances. Then, in silent understanding, they rose to their feet and continued watching the Heavenly Dao Rankings, not daring to say another word.

Anyone with eyes could see that Bibi Dong was clearly not in the right state. If they did not want to suffer, the best thing to do was keep their mouths shut.

As Bibi Dong's personal disciple, Hu Liena understood Bibi Dong better than anyone. Ignoring the blood at the corner of her lips, her once alluringly beautiful face was deathly pale. She looked worriedly at Bibi Dong on the throne above, wanting to say something, but seeing that Bibi Dong clearly did not wish to be disturbed, she ultimately suppressed her concern. After rising and wiping away the blood from her lips, she too turned her attention back to the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

She truly wanted to know what exactly had happened!

What could have caused such a huge emotional upheaval in her beloved teacher!

Keling City, Cassell Academy, cafeteria.

The instant Yu Bai saw Xiao Yan's face appear, his originally handsome features nearly twisted out of shape, while the corner of his mouth twitched wildly without stop!

To others, the Xiao Yan in the image might have merely looked like a somewhat handsome young man. But in Yu Bai's eyes, wasn't Xiao Yan's face in that image his own handsome face?!

Combined with an earlier rumor about the Heavenly Dao Rankings—"Why protect the Exposer? Only the Exposer can see everyone's true appearances in the Heavenly Dao Rankings"—Yu Bai could now confirm with absolute certainty that he was the Exposer!

Moreover, Yu Bai was even more certain that this so-called Heavenly Dao Rankings was definitely the cheat that had brought him to Douluo Continent!

And this so-called exposure of past lives was definitely projecting the story of the Battle Through the Heavens anime he had watched in his previous life!

At the thought of one day encountering the awkward scene arranged by the Heavenly Dao Rankings, with the so-called Gu Xun'er and Queen Medusa coming to expose him, Yu Bai's toes nearly dug out another three-bedroom apartment in the cafeteria from sheer embarrassment!

"Isn't this complete nonsense?!"

Just as Yu Bai was muttering awkwardly to himself, the Heavenly Dao Rankings continued playing.

Although the entire plaza was bustling, perhaps because he was in a corner, the young man leaning against the tree enjoyed a rare patch of peace and comfort.

The summer sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves overhead, scattering flecks of light over the young man and lending the scene an even more peaceful, comfortable atmosphere.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you're slacking off and sleeping again!"

A crisp, pleasant young girl's voice suddenly rang out from beside him, waking the half-asleep Xiao Yan.

Slowly opening his bleary eyes, Xiao Yan saw a young girl's beautiful face, clear and ethereal with a faintly playful smile. She was as captivating as one's first love, impossible to look away from.

The instant they saw the girl's smile, eighty percent of Douluo Continent suddenly felt as though they might have fallen in love!

Within the forest of Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the girl who had appeared on-screen and instinctively raised a hand to cover her small mouth. Her wide eyes were filled with shock and disbelief!

That face actually looked exactly like hers?!

In other words, her past life was the girl in the image!

Looking at that face on-screen, clearly identical to her own yet wearing such a charming smile that seemed equally suited to anger and joy, Zhu Zhuqing found it increasingly difficult to calm herself!

Could she really wear a smile like that?!

For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing could not help but stare blankly into space.

At the same time, the image continued.

The languid young man looked at the beautiful, ethereal face before him, and even the gloom in his heart dispersed somewhat. With a light laugh, he said,

"What, it's you, Xun'er, you little girl!"

Hearing him, the girl's delicate little face puffed up slightly, as if she were upset.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what's with that tone?! Are you not happy to see Xun'er?"

Hearing Xun'er's dissatisfied tone, Xiao Yan rose helplessly. Then he lifted a hand and rubbed the girl's little head, saying irritably,

"You little girl, you clearly know that's not what I meant!"

"Hmph, hmph!" After giving two haughty snorts, the girl brushed away the large hand messing with her hair. She then naturally hugged the young man's arm and sat beneath the tree with him, watching the cultivation test taking place at the center of the plaza ahead.

Not far away, Xun'er's arrival drew the attention of quite a few people. Naturally, they also noticed Xiao Yan lying against the tree!

Partly out of jealousy that trash like Xiao Yan had won the favor of Xun'er, the number one beauty of the Xiao Family, and partly to vent their frustrations on the former number one genius of the Xiao Family, who had once stood high above them, many people deliberately began pointing at Xiao Yan and speaking loudly.

"Look! That's the former number one genius of the family. He's nearly Fifteen Years Old now, yet he still only has three stages of Dou Qi. He's simply bringing shame upon our Xiao Family!"

"Exactly. What number one genius? I think he must have accidentally consumed some heavenly treasure or medicinal pill, burning through his potential to create that record of becoming a Dou Zhe at eleven. Otherwise, how could his cultivation regress? It's been nearly three years now, and he's still trash with only three stages of Dou Qi!"

"I really don't understand why Miss Xun'er likes trash like that!"

"..."

Hearing those familiar words of humiliation, Xiao Yan's expression remained utterly calm, as though they were not cursing him at all.

"Brother Xiao Yan," Xun'er heard those vicious insults as well. She glared fiercely at those people, only turning back after they had looked away. Then she looked worriedly at the young man beside her, her pretty face full of pleading. "Brother Xiao Yan, how about we go back? Let's just not take part in this family cultivation test."

Hearing the little girl beside him, Xiao Yan could not help reaching out to pinch Xun'er's smooth, milk-like cheek. He even tugged it lightly as he laughed.

"You silly girl, how could you give up the test because of me? You know that after every cultivation test, the family gives rewards to its outstanding disciples!"

"Besides, with your talent, Xun'er, you should already be a Dou Zhe by now, right?"

"With that kind of strength, you're definitely the most dazzling genius in the family. How could you give it up!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun'er wrinkled her cute little nose before denying it.

"What most dazzling genius of the family? In Xun'er's heart, only Brother Xiao Yan is the most dazzling genius!"

"Those people may slander you and say you took medicine or something, but Xun'er knows that Brother Xiao Yan is a proud and intelligent person. How could you do something that would destroy your own foundation?"

"Brother Xiao Yan became a Dou Zhe at eleven. Back then, your name was known throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire! Compared to you, Xun'er's current cultivation is nothing at all!"
