Xiao Wu Has Given Up on Tang San, the Ambiguous Ice and Snow Empresses!

Yu Xiaogang finished his piece.

Flender frowned, his fingertips rubbing his chin:

"The Master is right. Soul beasts can only live for a maximum of one hundred thousand and one years. How could there be a soul beast with such a high age? Could there really be something wrong with this Sky Screen?"

Dai Mubai, who was already disgruntled about Star Luo being ranked so low and was holding back a fit of temper, immediately chimed in:

"Do we even need to doubt it? This Sky Screen is just a piece of trash, a fake ranking fabricated by someone!"

Ma Hongjun and Zhao Wuji felt the same way upon hearing this, finding it all rather strange.

Seeing that everyone finally agreed with him, Yu Xiaogang felt incredibly vindicated and smugly cursed:

"This trashy fake ranking is truly capable of making things up. If it has the guts, let it conjure up a nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year soul beast for this Master to see!"

Xiao Wu, who had been listening to his fallacious reasoning not far away, could no longer hold back. She stepped forward and rebuked him angrily:

"This 'Master', may I ask how you arrived at such a twisted conclusion? On what grounds are you certain that soul beasts can only live for a maximum of one hundred thousand and one years?!"

Yu Xiaogang's anger from being publicly refuted by her regarding his ignorance of "deities" had not yet subsided.

Now that she was refuting him in public again, how could he possibly endure it? He snorted and prepared to speak.

But before he could even get a word out, he was interrupted by Xiao Wu:

"This 'Master', if you believe you are correct, please produce actual data to prove it! If you don't have any, then shut your mouth and stop misleading others!"

Yu Xiaogang was choked by the question.

"Ac... actual data..."

Yu Xiaogang's complexion shifted from a flushed red to a deathly pale.

It seemed... he really couldn't produce any actual data at all...

Ma Hongjun curled his lip on the side and muttered quietly to Zhao Wuji:

"Teacher Zhao Wuji, why has the Master's face turned as red as a pig's? Could he really be talking nonsense?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji also quietly frowned, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes as he looked at Yu Xiaogang.

Thinking back carefully, Yu Xiaogang had been questioned by the three female students several times, yet not once had he produced concrete evidence to prove himself...

"Enough!"

Suddenly, a shout from Tang San broke the stagnation in the air.

Recalling the lessons Yu Xiaogang and the others had taught him earlier, he showed no mercy and sternly scolded Xiao Wu:

"Xiao Wu! Who do you think you are to question the Master? Go wherever it's cool and stay there; don't be an eyesore here!"

Xiao Wu was stung deeply by his words, her eyes turning red involuntarily, but she quickly gritted her teeth and held firm, retorting angrily:

"Tang San, you really are a hypocritical phony! All the kindness you showed me before was just an act! From this day forward, I am no longer your sister. Once the Sky Screen finishes its announcements, I am dropping out and leaving Shrek!"

After saying this, Xiao Wu turned around and walked quickly to Zhu Zhuqing's side without looking back.

Watching Xiao Wu's retreating figure, Tang San's body jolted violently. He instinctively looked at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes filled with a trace of panic.

He had just been following the "way of men" that Yu Xiaogang had taught him earlier, but seeing Xiao Wu's expression, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Yu Xiaogang, however, snorted coldly and waved his hand:

"San, you did well. That is how you must treat women. Don't worry about her; I guarantee you, what she said was just out of anger. She won't actually drop out. Just wait and see."

Hearing his teacher say this, the unease in Tang San's heart instantly dissipated, and he firmly believed that the Master's words were the truth.

Subsequently, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze back to the Sky Screen, his eyes full of defiance as he muttered to himself:

"I don't believe it. Can this Sky Screen really fabricate things so flawlessly? I must find a real flaw, a flaw that everyone will acknowledge, to prove that this is a fake ranking!"

Dai Mubai, who had never accepted the Sky Screen, shared the same thought, staring fixedly at the golden Sky Screen above.

After returning to Zhu Zhuqing's side, Xiao Wu quietly glanced at Tang San.

What she had just said was indeed out of anger, a final attempt to see if Tang San still cared for her in the slightest.

But seeing Tang San remain indifferent, her heart for him died completely, and she became fully determined to leave!

Zhu Zhuqing saw the resolve in Xiao Wu's eyes and couldn't help but wonder where she would go if she dropped out.

Would she, like herself, look for a suitable power on the Power Ranking to join?

Extreme North.

"Our Extreme North is only ranked eighth?!"

Bingdi looked at the Sky Screen and exclaimed, her voice rising sharply.

Her previous confidence that they would be in the top five now felt like a joke.

"How can this be? The powers that can rival our Extreme North can be counted on one hand."

Xue Di was also stunned where she stood, her typically cold voice tinged with a hint of bewilderment.

"Damn it, let me tear this broken Sky Screen apart!"

The cold air around Bingdi surged violently, but was interrupted by a startled cry from Xue Di:

"Bing'er, look quickly at the Sky Screen's evaluation; our Extreme North still has a Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave!"

Hearing this, Bingdi curled her lip:

"What is it? Wasn't it already absorbed by that bastard Sky Dream Ice Silkworm before he mysteriously disappeared?"

As she spoke, Bingdi casually glanced at the evaluation content again, and suddenly exclaimed:

"Ah! The Sky Screen says there are two Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Caves? Besides the one consumed by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, there is one left!"

This news was like a clear sky after rain, filling the hearts of the two Ice Emperors with excitement.

Bingdi grabbed Xue Di in a hug, saying with joy and excitement:

"That's great, Xue'er! Although the ranking isn't satisfying, it let us know this wonderful news!"

There is no need to elaborate on how miraculous the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave is; the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reached a million years precisely because of it!

If it fell into their hands, they could naturally use it to double, or even triple, their strength!

"Boom--!"

Just as the two were rejoicing, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, pushing Bingdi away from Xue Di.

"Ah, what is happening... Is this the heaven-sent reward?!"

Bingdi steadied herself and looked over, only to see Xue Di's cultivation climbing rapidly: six hundred eighty thousand years, six hundred ninety thousand years...

In just a few breaths, she was already approaching seven hundred thousand years, and the subsequent tribulation phenomenon followed, with rolling thunder echoing:

"Rumble--!"

Bingdi was startled and hurriedly reminded her:

"Xue'er, quickly take that Tribulation Transcendence Pill that was rewarded along with it; judging by the name, it should be for transcending the tribulation!"

Xue Di knew well the terror of the heavenly tribulation and did not dare to delay, consuming the Tribulation Transcendence Pill that had appeared in her hand.

As the Tribulation Transcendence Pill was consumed, the heavenly tribulation phenomenon in the sky dissipated, and Xue Di's cultivation continued to climb upward.

In the end, relying on the rewarded thirty thousand years of cultivation, she soared all the way from six hundred eighty thousand years to seven hundred ten thousand years!

The surrounding ice mist churned violently due to this breakthrough aura, and the temperament of Xue Di became increasingly cold and noble, faintly possessing a hint of the majesty of the ancient Ice God!

"So... so strong..."

Bingdi felt this terrifying momentum and stared blankly at Xue Di.

Xue Di regained her composure, flashed forward, leaned close to her ear, and said:

"Don't be surprised, there is a share for you too."

Before the words had even faded, she placed the 'Forty-Thousand-Year Cultivation Pill', representing the duplicate replacement reward, into Bingdi's hand.

"Wow, Xue'er, you're so good!"

Bingdi happily took it, but then handed it back, saying dejectedly:

"But... without a Tribulation Transcendence Pill, if I take this now at three hundred eighty thousand years, won't I have to face the heavenly tribulation? I'd better not."

Xue Di placed it back into her hand, patted her head, and smiled gently:

"Just take it for now. Perhaps there will be other rankings later where we can obtain a Tribulation Transcendence Pill. I said there would be a share for you."

Hearing this, Bingdi hugged her in a move of being touched and kissed her on the cheek:

"Xue'er, you are truly so good to me; I love you to death."

Meanwhile, Titan Snow Demon King A-Tai and Ice Bear King Xiao Bai were drawn over by the huge commotion just now.

They happened to see this ambiguous scene...

"?"

What is going on?

Chang'an City.

Shangguan Wan'er gazed at the Sky Screen suspended in mid-air and asked with some anticipation:

"City Lord, the Power Ranking has already been announced halfway. Of the remaining seven spots, which forces do you think will make the list?"
