"Tianxin! You're incredible!" The disciples of Thunder Academy crowded around him, their faces full of admiration. "Level 37 Battle Soul Elder! Nineteenth place! You've brought honor to Thunder Academy!"

Yu Tianxin clenched his fists as the Thunder Power around him grew increasingly fierce. The phantom of his mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul appeared behind him, sharp light gleaming in its dragon eyes.

His voice rang out powerfully. "I will surpass even more people and let the entire continent know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's most outstanding talent is me, Yu Tianxin!"

The light of the Heavenly Dao Blessing descended from above and merged into Yu Tianxin's body.

He could clearly feel that his connection to Thunder Power had become closer, while the cooldown time of his spirit skills had noticeably shortened.

This made his confidence soar even further. As he looked toward the Sky Screen, his eyes brimmed with desire for a higher ranking.

Yet within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's council hall, the atmosphere was completely different from the shock outside. It was filled with casual arrogance.

Yu Luomian abruptly rose from his seat of honor, his eyes full of surprise and excitement as Soul Power surged violently around him.

"Good! Good! Good! What a Yu Tianxin! My fine grandson, truly worthy of being a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

Yu Yuanzhen stared at Yu Tianxin's name on the Sky Screen. He was briefly stunned before letting out a scornful laugh.

He raised a hand and brushed over the wrinkles in his robe that had appeared from his earlier shock, his tone utterly unconcerned.

"That child Tianxin does have some ability, but for someone from a collateral branch to achieve this much is already his limit."

He turned toward Yu Tianheng beside him, his eyes filled with certainty and expectation. His booming voice spread through the entire hall.

"Tian Heng, as the direct-line young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, you possess nearly Innate Full Soul Power.

"Now, you have reached the peak of Soul Elder and inherited the true legacy of the clan's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.

"I will not demand that you fight for first place. After all, Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect still possess some foundation.

"As long as you securely enter the top five, you will have brought great honor to the clan. Even saying that is already extremely humble of me."

In Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, Yu Tianheng's talent far surpassed Yu Tianxin's. He possessed Level 9 Innate Soul Power.

His mastery of his martial soul and the speed at which he raised his Soul Power Level made him the foremost of his generation.

Otherwise, the clan would not have confirmed him as its young master.

The top five was merely the most conservative estimate. With his strength, competing for the top three or even first place would be no problem.

He simply did not wish to speak too confidently, so he deliberately lowered expectations, believing this stance to be humble enough.

Yu Tianheng held his chest even higher, the arrogance on his face nearly overflowing.

He raised a hand and patted his chest. "Rest assured, Grandfather. The top five is already mine for the taking.

"My true goal is the top three!

"I will make those bastards from Spirit Hall understand that the Upper Three Sects and their petty Spirit Hall are separated by a gulf as vast as heaven and earth!"

The elders in the hall immediately echoed him, showering him with praise.

"The young master's talent is extraordinary. How could the top five possibly be enough? In my opinion, even the top three would be a conservative estimate!"

"Exactly! Qian Xunji, Spirit Hall's Level 95 Super Douluo from the Qian Clan, was nearly killed by Tang Hao when he had only just entered the Titled Douluo rank and had yet to add his ninth spirit ring.

"No matter how you look at it, Spirit Hall is nothing special. How could it compare to the young master's pure Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?

"Even the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer does not surpass our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan by much!

"As for that useless Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose strongest member is merely a Soul Sage, it is not even worth mentioning!

"Once the young master makes the ranking, he will surely leave those fools who call themselves geniuses far behind!"

"In the end, the clan's glory must still be upheld by the young master!"

The entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was immersed in absolute confidence regarding Yu Tianheng's ranking.

They had even begun imagining how the clan would hold its head high across the continent after he made the ranking.

Not once did they consider that their young master's ranking might not be nearly as high as they imagined.

Clear Sky Sect

Deep within the cloud-shrouded Clear Sky Mountain Range, Tang Xiao stood with his hands behind his back before the sect's Mountain Gate, a trace of gravity flashing through his deep eyes.

Seeing this, Tang Long could not help clicking his tongue. "Grandfather, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan actually has such a talented collateral descendant? A Battle Soul Elder ranked nineteenth, even one place above Huo Wu. That's rather interesting."

Tang Xiao slowly shook his head, his voice deep and resonant as a bell. "Yu Tianxin? A collateral descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

"It seems this old clan has deeper reserves than we imagined. I thought the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been living off its past glory and that this generation had no notable talents left!

"In that case, their young master Yu Tianheng should also make the ranking. I never expected this generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to have twin stars, with both of them entering the continent's top twenty!

"But a collateral branch is still a collateral branch. Ranking nineteenth only means he is the best among an inferior lot."

He changed the subject and looked toward the elders behind him. "Pass down my order. Closely monitor the movements of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, especially Yu Tianxin's cultivation progress. He must not be underestimated."

A white-haired elder bowed and replied, "The Sect Master is wise! However, while Yu Tianxin may have talent, he is still from a collateral branch. His resources are far inferior to those of the direct-line young master Yu Tianheng. He cannot cause much trouble."

Tang Xiao gave no response. He merely looked toward the Sky Screen again, his vigilance growing stronger.

The Clear Sky Sect had lain dormant for many years. He could not afford to lower his guard against any movement from any faction.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in his hand, resplendent with flowing light as the seven-colored radiance around its body slowly circulated.

Looking at the information on the Sky Screen, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Uncle Bone, look at this Yu Tianxin. He is quite an interesting prospect.

"A collateral descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, yet as merely a Battle Soul Elder, he managed to surpass Huo Wu, a Soul Ancestor. His potential is indeed not weak."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong's hoarse voice carried a hint of disdain. "He is merely a collateral descendant, Fengzhi. You think too highly of him."

"Old Bone, you cannot put it that way." Sword Douluo Chen Xin, standing nearby, gently shook his head.

"The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking's assessment should not be mistaken. Yu Tianxin being judged among the continent's top twenty in potential means he is no ordinary man.

"The internal strife within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has always been fierce. The competition between Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng may become an opportunity for us to win him over."

A shrewd glint flashed through his eyes. "Send someone to Thunder Academy and test Yu Tianxin's intentions.

"If we can recruit him, he will be a great help to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Clearly, they did not yet know that although these cousins had a love-hate relationship at this time, they would stand together against a common enemy in the future and seek revenge against Spirit Hall.

Still, saying that their clan was plagued by infighting was not wrong. After all, Yu Tianxin's grandfather, Yu Luomian, would one day bring the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to the brink of extermination for the sake of power.

Spirit City · Papal Palace

Bibi Dong looked at Yu Tianxin's information on the Sky Screen, a cold glint flashing through her violet eyes.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan actually has such a talented collateral descendant? It seems the Upper Three Sects possess more than just the strength they show on the surface."

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan hurried forward, a fawning smile plastered across his face.

"Your Eminence the Pope, you worry too much! Yu Tianxin is merely from a collateral branch. Even if he makes the ranking, he cannot compare to Yu Tianheng.

"Besides, every member of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation possesses Innate Soul Power above Level 8 and reached Soul King or above before the age of twenty. Before them, Yu Tianxin is nothing more than an ant."

The shadow formed by Ghost Douluo Gui Mei swayed as his voice sounded.

"Yue Guan is right, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Thunder Power has always been tyrannical. Now that they have these two twin stars, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, we should still send people to watch them closely, lest they become an obstacle to Spirit Hall's unification of the continent."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "Do as you say. Closely monitor Yu Tianxin's movements.

"If he knows what is good for him, recruit him into Spirit Hall. If he does not, eliminate him early and prevent future trouble."
