I Heard

Meanwhile, Douluo Continent, Keling City, the small woods outside the Cassell Academy cafeteria.

After realizing that he was one of the Exposers, Yu Bai took advantage of the time before the Heavenly Dao Rankings had completely concluded. Pretending to have a stomachache, he bid farewell to Little Fatty Shi Zheng and hurriedly left the cafeteria, running toward the deserted woods!

Facts proved that Yu Bai had made the right choice!

Just as Yu Bai hid himself in the woods, the Heavenly Dao Rankings happened to conclude, and a streak of golden light appeared directly above Cassell Academy!

Though it lasted only an instant, it still drew countless gazes!

Soon, everyone recognized that the golden light had been released by the legendary Heavenly Dao Rankings. It contained the Exposers' talents, knowledge, and experience from their past lives!

In other words, one of the three Exposers revealed by the Heavenly Dao Rankings had been in their academy!

In an instant, all of Cassell Academy erupted!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"An Exposer is actually my schoolmate! Is this for real?!"

"Damn it, stop standing around in a daze! Finding that Exposer is what matters most! Every one of those three Exposers was a Dou Di in their previous life! A Dou Di powerhouse—even stronger than a Titled Douluo! As long as we can follow one of them, who on this continent would dare mess with us in the future?!"

"Gasp! That makes sense!"

"..."

At the same time, in shadowy corners, quite a few people's eyes flickered with strange light. Likewise, at that moment, countless carrier pigeons flew off in every direction!

Hidden in the woods, Yu Bai had just instantly absorbed and comprehended everything from Xiao Yan's life on the Dou Qi Continent—his cultivation Dou Techniques, cultivation method—the Burning Art, alchemy knowledge, and cultivation and combat experience. The moment he opened his eyes, his face filled with delight and shock. Before he could marvel at the power of the Flame Emperor, he heard the entire academy going wild in search of the Exposers!

Gasp! These people had gone completely insane!

And if they discovered outright that he was an Exposer, things would be truly bad!

Having read tens of thousands of novels in his past life, Yu Bai, an old veteran reader, knew full well that a genius who had yet to grow was nothing at all!

Once his identity was exposed, every faction across the continent would undoubtedly turn their attention toward him. By then, even if his Old Six father was a level seventy-three Soul Saint, it would be useless!

Just as Yu Bai was thinking of how to resolve his current predicament, an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended, crushing him flat onto the ground!

"Fuck! Who's ambushing me? Has this young master already been discovered?!"

Perhaps because Yu Bai had been focused solely on resolving his current predicament, the instant he was suppressed by that pressure, he instinctively assumed he had been found out. But soon, as he sensed the pressure, a familiar feeling suddenly surged into his heart.

"Hm? This is... the pressure of the Dou Di Realm?! And judging from this feeling, it should be Queen Medusa's imperial might from the memories and experience I received?!"

"Gasp! That lucky person chosen by the Heavenly Dao Rankings as Queen Medusa's 'reincarnation' is actually at least a Soul Saint-level powerhouse! And now, after receiving the direct infusion of a Dou Di's power, she has leapt straight into the Dou Di Realm!"

"Doesn't that make her the strongest being in this entire Douluo World, including the God Realm?!"

At that moment, Yu Bai admitted that he was a little jealous!

Suddenly, inspiration flashed through Yu Bai's mind. He seemed to have found a way to resolve his current predicament, and a faint smile gradually appeared on his handsome face!

Of course, if Yu Bai had not been lying face-down on the ground at the moment, he would definitely have drawn waves of screams from female soul masters!

A moment later, once Yu Bai felt the pressure on him vanish, he hurriedly got up and rubbed his face. After making his expression look fervent enough that his facial muscles would not seem stiff and unnatural, he quickly left the woods and headed toward where more people were gathered.

Perhaps the earlier display of pressure had sobered up some of the academy's teachers and students, causing them to give up. Yet most of them remained no less enthusiastic, still searching everywhere for the Exposer within the academy!

At that moment, Yu Bai spotted a large group approaching him. They wore Cassell Soul Master Academy uniforms, and included freshmen mingled with second- and third-year students, all searching around for something. His eyes immediately lit up. Then, controlling his facial muscles and making his expression equally excited, he walked straight toward them.

When the group of new and older Cassell Soul Master Academy students saw a handsome guy approaching alone, their eyes lit up as well. Just as they were about to step forward and confirm whether he was the Exposer, they saw that he was walking toward them with the same look in his eyes.

Seeing this, the group could almost confirm that the person opposite them was merely someone who shared the same mindset as they did!

Though they were somewhat disappointed that he was not the academy's Exposer either, they could still exchange information!

With that thought in mind, the group also went forward to meet him.

Before they had even drawn close, Yu Bai's voice rang out, brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

"Hey! Brothers, have you found that Exposer? Or heard any news?!"

Seeing Yu Bai's fervent, excited expression, no different from their own, the group suspected nothing and answered directly.

"Not yet. But we just searched all the woods and forest paths behind us. We can confirm that the Exposer isn't in that area. What about you, brother?"

"Looking at your expression, it seems you've heard some good news?"

Faced with the probing from the apparent leader of the group, Yu Bai immediately said proudly, "Although I haven't found any information on that Exposer either, I just got some incredible news from another group of girls!"

At Yu Bai's words, the group's eyes instantly lit up, and they hurriedly urged him on.

"Good brother, you have to share the news!"

"Yeah, yeah! Hurry up and tell us!"

"Brother, you're awesome! Tell us already!"

"..."

None of them found it strange that Yu Bai had managed to get information from the female soul master students. After all, Yu Bai was indeed very easy on the eyes!

Under normal circumstances, when they saw Yu Bai, they might have secretly cursed him as some pretty boy behind his back!

But now, faced with an opportunity that could change their lives, they wished Yu Bai were even more handsome, so that the information he got from the girls would be more accurate!

Seeing them urge him on, Yu Bai secretly rejoiced. On the surface, however, he continued playing the role of someone as eager as they were to find the Exposer. His voice gradually grew more fervent as he said excitedly, "You haven't forgotten that terrifying pressure from just now, have you?"

"That group of girls said that, according to their teachers' analysis, there's a very high chance that the aura and pressure from earlier came from one of the three Exposers, who, after receiving the Heavenly Dao Rankings' infusion, directly became a Dou Di powerhouse!"
