Azure Dragon and Purple Qi!

Qin Ze had no idea that Lu Bai had long since handed all his information over to the higher-ups.

Even for a powerful sect like the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Innate Full Soul Power was extremely difficult to produce. They actually placed great importance on Qin Ze's talent.

Wu Qingyang swaggered into the square. Before long, Qin Ze heard a cry: "Grandpa, I was wrong!"

He looked over and saw Wu Feng being verbally lectured by her grandfather. Ning Tian stood nearby, not daring to say anything, merely grinning foolishly.

Qin Ze shook his head and left.

"You really think you're some genius? There's always a higher heaven and a greater person." Wu Qingyang looked helplessly at his precious granddaughter.

Wu Feng put her hands on her hips, pride written all over her face. "Among our generation, I'm only slightly less talented than the young mistress. Who else could possibly compare to me?"

Ning Tian covered her mouth and chuckled. She had innate Rank Nine Soul Power, while Wu Feng had innate Rank Eight.

"Is that so?" Wu Qingyang shifted his gaze to Qin Ze, who was leaving along the path through the square. "Do you see that person?"

Wu Feng followed Wu Qingyang's gaze, and her brows immediately rose. "It's him!"

They had seen Qin Ze before, though they did not know his name. In any case, he was a newly admitted disciple.

"Grandpa, is this guy really that impressive?" Wu Feng asked.

Wu Qingyang nodded. "Innate Full Soul Power. What do you think?"

"What?" The smile on Wu Feng's face froze.

Ning Tian, on the other hand, remained calm. As the young mistress of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she had naturally seen much of the world. When she had accompanied her father to Shrek Academy, she had encountered several geniuses with Full Soul Power.

Especially that fellow named Bei Bei. He was only three years older than her, yet he was already a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster.

Wu Qingyang said, "Didn't you say you wanted to study at Shrek Academy in the future? If you don't work hard now, how will you get in later? They'll probably look down on you."

After saying that, Wu Qingyang even put on a look of disdain.

"Oh no!" Ning Tian covered her forehead.

Hearing this, Wu Feng immediately became defiant. Her expression turned serious as she said, "Hmph, then I'll cultivate properly and show you, Grandpa. Next month, I'll raise my Soul Power to Rank Ten and go obtain a soul ring."

"Good!" Wu Qingyang's face lit up with delight. "That's my granddaughter. Then it's settled. During this time, you'll focus on studying and cultivating. You're not allowed to go anywhere."

"Ah!!" Wu Feng's eyes widened.

Ning Tian glanced helplessly at Wu Feng. "My dear sister, you're far too impulsive."

Her gaze shifted toward Qin Ze's increasingly distant figure.

The next day.

On his bed, Qin Ze slowly opened his eyes. He had not slept; instead, he had meditated all night. Although the increase in Soul Power was slight, every little bit added up over time.

Watery blue Soul Power, like mist, dispersed into the air with Qin Ze's breaths.

The results of yesterday's competition had been announced. In the end, one hundred people had successfully joined the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

After washing up, Qin Ze stepped onto the balcony.

The morning sunlight was gentle and pleasantly warm against his body. As the sun rose, a strand of Purple Qi emerged with it.

The morning breeze brushed Qin Ze's cheeks, stirring his short black hair and revealing his delicate features, as well as the dragon pattern between his brows!

At that very moment of tranquility, the Purple Qi contained within the sunlight unexpectedly flowed invisibly toward Qin Ze's brow.

Qin Ze's skin also turned slightly red, while his blood and qi roiled ceaselessly within him.

"What's going on!"

The sudden occurrence startled Qin Ze. He immediately activated his Soul Power to inspect his body.

Though he could not see inside his body directly, Qin Ze could still use Soul Power to conduct a rough examination.

The moment he checked, he froze. At some point, his blood had turned azure-blue and was filled with a dense aura of life.

"Roar!" A majestic dragon's roar exploded in Qin Ze's mind. He instinctively closed his eyes. Within his mind, an illusory Azure Dragon soared through the air. Beside it, incomparably dense Purple Qi was continuously devoured by the Azure Dragon, whose body gradually became more solid.

Yet strangely, Qin Ze did not feel any changes in his body, aside from his blood becoming filled with the aura of life.

Several minutes later, the Purple Qi was completely devoured, and the Azure Dragon gradually faded away.

Knock, knock, knock!

Suddenly, an urgent knocking sound inexplicably rang out from within the fifth floor.

Qin Ze was startled awake by the sound. He abruptly opened his eyes, then raised his hand to examine himself, only to see that his body had returned to normal.

"All newly admitted disciples, gather downstairs."

"All newly admitted disciples, gather downstairs."

After the announcement sounded twice in succession, everyone on the floor woke up before long and hurriedly got dressed and washed up.

"Azure Dragon, Purple Qi... what connection is there between them?" Qin Ze walked out of his room, pondering as he went. Even now, he did not know what the Azure Dragon truly was. A martial soul? Clearly not. A bloodline? That was possible! Hadn't his blood just turned azure-blue?

After thinking for a long time without finding an answer, Qin Ze simply stopped thinking about it. He would try again tomorrow when the sun rose and see whether he could discover anything.

There was one thing he had considered: the Power of Destiny Du Busi had mentioned. But how could a transmigrator like him possess the Power of Destiny? On the Douluo Continent, the Child of Destiny was that fellow Huo Yuhao, whose luck was absurdly good throughout his life—though he had met a certain Third Brother who loved screwing people over.

"Power of Destiny!" Qin Ze's eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured inwardly.

Downstairs, several people stood in the open clearing—three men and two women. The men were tall, while the women were graceful.

"Another two years have passed. Time really flies!" one of the men remarked.

"Yan Renyi, how are the disciples under your supervision doing?" The woman on the left asked the first man to speak.

Yan Renyi said helplessly, "There were twenty-five disciples assigned to me at first. Twenty-one failed their assessments and were sent to outposts in smaller places. Only four remain in the main sect now."

"That bad?" The woman's name was Yu Ying, and her face was filled with surprise.

Yan Renyi glanced at Yu Ying. "What about your side?"

Yu Ying said, "Mine isn't too bad. Of the twenty people, seven remained after the assessment."

Yan Renyi's mouth twitched several times at that.

In the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, disciples who entered through the advancement competition would be sent to outposts in smaller places to study and cultivate if they failed their initial assessment. Once they became older, they would manage the operations in those areas.

Those outposts had all kinds of businesses: restaurants, hotels, bathhouses, stables...

Those unwilling to go could also apply to leave the sect. It depended on the individual.

Those who passed would receive focused training and a greater share of resources, then be sent to outposts in major cities to study and cultivate, such as Shrek City and Heaven Dou City.

After ten thousand years, the rules of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had long undergone tremendous changes. This was also one of the reasons Qin Ze found things so casual.

The Azure Dragon, an auspicious beast!

Purple Qi, a symbol of auspiciousness!
