Major Powers in Action! The Age of Great Strife!

"But first, I still need to go back and discuss this with the old man and the others!"

As he thought this, Yu Bai temporarily pushed the matter to the back of his mind and instead became even more interested in the cultivation experiences from his past life and the Burning Art. He wanted to see exactly how the cultivation methods of Douluo Continent and Dou Qi Continent differed.

At once, the entire dormitory fell silent enough to hear a pin drop!

As time gradually passed, Yu Bai's brow began to furrow.

At that moment, a piece of news instantly spread throughout Keling City, even reaching several nearby cities and the major powers across Douluo Continent!

"One of the final three Exposers revealed by the Heavenly Dao Rankings is studying at Cassell Advanced Soul Master Academy in Keling City!"

This news was like a vortex, instantly drawing the attention of everyone across Douluo Continent to that moderately well-known advanced Soul Master Academy!

At the same time, both openly and covertly, countless people surged toward Cassell Advanced Soul Master Academy like wolves that had caught the scent of meat!

Especially after experiencing that overwhelming, sky-collapsing pressure at noon—and after everyone understood, even personally experienced, that it was the pressure of the Dou Emperor expert from the Heavenly Dao Rankings' footage—the crowd became even more fervent toward the other Exposer studying in secret at Cassell Advanced Soul Master Academy!

As for the warning from that Dou Emperor expert at noon?

Heh! Before the chance to gain power surpassing even gods, life was not something that could not be discarded!

Besides, if force would not work, could they not try a gentler approach?!

The most important thing right now was to find that Exposer first!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, "Fengzhi! You received the latest news too, didn't you?!"

Outside the main hall, Sword Douluo's voice rang out as he and Bone Douluo arrived side by side at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's council hall!

Seeing the two arrive, Ning Fengzhi rose gracefully. After gesturing for them to take their seats, he sat back down upon the Sect Master's throne, his expression calm and confident as he said, "I never expected this news to bring both Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone here at once. That truly is rare."

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's demeanor, Chen Xin and Gu Rong understood that their Sect Master had not only received the news, but had likely already made preparations and arrangements.

Yet precisely because of that, Chen Xin and Gu Rong's expressions became even more solemn.

"It seems you already have a plan, Fengzhi." Chen Xin picked up the hot tea served by a maid and took a light sip. Then, setting down the cup, he fixed Ning Fengzhi on the Sect Master's throne with a gaze as sharp as a sword. "However, I must remind you of one thing: you must act with caution in this matter—indeed, with even greater caution than when dealing with Spirit Hall!"

"You experienced the aura of that Dou Emperor expert today as well! And you should understand even more clearly the connection between the final three Exposers!"

"Keling City—or rather, Cassell Advanced Soul Master Academy—is now like a genuine powder keg, filled with all sorts of mixed elements! If someone carelessly lights the fuse, then when that Dou Emperor's wrath descends, everyone and every force involved may be reduced to ashes!"

"If that person's anger falls upon our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bone Weakling and I alone won't be able to withstand it!"

"Mm-hm... mm?!" Bone Douluo Gu Rong had been listening to Chen Xin's explanation with an equally solemn expression, nodding along the whole time.

However, when he heard Chen Xin call him "Bone Weakling" at the end, Gu Rong immediately glared at Chen Xin in fury and began cursing him out.

"You dare call me 'Bone Weakling'? You sword bastard!"

"If you've got the guts, let's go outside and spar! Let's see whether your limp little sword can pierce this old man's skin!"

Hearing Bone Douluo call him a "sword bastard," Chen Xin immediately refused to back down and started shouting, ready to go outside and fight three hundred rounds!

"Hehe." Faced with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo once again arranging a fight right in front of him, Ning Fengzhi chuckled twice before hurriedly trying to dissuade them. "Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, please calm down first. Isn't the most important matter right now the situation in Keling City?!"

Only after seeing the two guardian Douluos stop in their tracks and sit back down did Ning Fengzhi speak again, wisdom gleaming in his eyes, his voice confident and steady.

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, you must understand that ever since the Heavenly Dao Rankings appeared, this Douluo Continent of ours has no longer been merely the Douluo Continent it once was."

"Especially today, when the Heavenly Dao Rankings revealed two new otherworlds. This means that worlds beyond Douluo Continent exist, and that it is even possible to travel between them!"

"And the safest, most likely way to find a method of traveling between different worlds is strength!"

"The present world has already entered a true age of great contention! In the face of such a grand era, retreating or watching from the sidelines will only leave us behind others. In the end, we will be cast aside and vanish amid the masses."

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, I have actually already sent some outstanding disciples of the sect to study at Cassell Academy in Keling City. At the same time, I have arranged for some of the sect's Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, and thirty percent of our intelligence personnel to enter Keling City!"

Seeing Chen Xin and Gu Rong's expressions change slightly upon hearing that he had deployed so many people to intervene in this matter, Ning Fengzhi immediately continued, "Please rest assured, you two. The reason I sent these people to Keling City is only to maintain the city's stability and safety, and to eliminate those with ill intentions!"

"According to intelligence, the other powers—including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the other three sects of the Lower Four Sects aside from the White Tiger Sect in Star Luo—even the reclusive Clear Sky Sect has secretly sent people down from the mountain. Their arrangements are much the same as mine!"

"Although Spirit Hall has only sent some personnel to Keling City and seemingly has no intention of entering Cassell Academy, making their intentions somewhat difficult to fathom, they cannot—and would not dare—do anything excessive in the face of that existence!"

"Therefore, regarding Keling City, the major powers have tacitly chosen to jointly preserve stability and work together to remove unstable elements, preventing any fool from doing something that would provoke that Dou Emperor expert into settling accounts. As for that Exposer, the students sent by the various powers into Cassell Academy will compete to win them over!"

At this point, Ning Fengzhi thought of his beloved daughter, Ning Rongrong, and sighed.

"Actually, considering her status, sending Rongrong to Cassell Academy would have been the best choice. But that girl's personality... sigh..."

Seeing Ning Fengzhi sigh so deeply over his precious Rongrong's personality, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo instantly united against him, voicing their dissatisfaction in unison.

"Hmph! What's wrong with our Rongrong's personality?! Is there a problem?!"

"Exactly! Rongrong is so innocent, lively, adorable, and lovable. What does that expression of yours mean, Fengzhi?!"

"Hmph! It seems that when Rongrong returns, we need to have a proper talk with her!"

"..."
