Can the Dragon God Really Be Stronger Than an Aeon? What Bullshit!

The cheers from the stands continued.

The roar of 100,000 people from Heavenly Sea Stadium surged in from the tunnel entrance, echoing in Leng Yaozhu's ears.

She walked down the corridor at a leisurely pace, her skirt trailing gently behind her.

The smile on his lips has remained unchanged since the competition began; he hasn't tried to hide it, nor has he become complacent.

She was simply enjoying the moment.

Shrek's reputation will undoubtedly suffer a major blow after this exhibition match.

The myth of the academy being the best for all time has been shattered by three people. The advantages in student recruitment, the high ground in public opinion, and the support of the Federal Council that were built on reputation will all be shaky after this battle.

The Leng Family's status will rise accordingly.

Inside the Spirit Pagoda, the power struggle between the Leng Family and the Qiangu Family has continued for many years.

The Qiangu Family, relying on the inherited Martial Soul of the Coiling Dragon Staff, has always been superior to the Leng Family.

Now, she's using an exhibition match to prove to everyone that the Leng Family can not only cultivate geniuses, but also geniuses who can crush Shrek.

Those neutral parties who wavered between the Leng Family and the Qiangu Family will reassess the situation.

Qiangu Family is in a hurry, and when they are in a hurry, they will make mistakes, and those mistakes will be her opportunity.

She should support all three of them.

Bai Yuan is her sharpest sword.

Gu Yuena will be one too. Although A Ruheng is not a disciple of the Leng Family, that old fox Mu Ye has already placed his bets on her.

Although the Body Sect has declined, Mu Ye's connections and A Ruheng's potential are resources that the Leng Family can leverage in the future.

She's not the kind of person who would betray someone after they've served their purpose; she understands the principle of reciprocity.

Leng Yaozhu stopped and looked back.

Bai Yuan was walking out of the passage, with Gu Yuena beside him and A Ruheng at the very back.

The three figures were stretched long in the light and shadow at the entrance of the passage.

"They're all promising talents."

Leng Yaozhu's voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself.

Her gaze shifted from Bai Yuan to Gu Yuena, and then to A Ruheng.

She had witnessed Bai Yuan's growth from awakening his Martial Soul to the present, seeing that he had taken each step steadily and never disappointed her.

She had seen Gu Yuena's talent when she first started learning, but the child had always kept it hidden and was unwilling to reveal her full strength in front of others.

In today's exhibition match, she finally let loose, and her control over the mixed elements surprised even herself.

Needless to say, A Ruheng's innate talent was on full display before her.

Mu Ye that old fox Muye was being modest, he was probably overjoyed inside.

After this, the rankings of the Youth Genius Ranking will likely be completely reshuffled.

Bai Yuan's strength will propel him directly into the top five, Gu Yuena's mixed elements will also place her among the top, A Ruheng's Berserk Vajra will similarly earn him a place.

The eyes of all major powers will be focused on them, and the neutral faction within the Spirit Pagoda will reassess the Leng Family's strength.

These children will no longer face competition from their peers, but rather scrutiny and challenges from all sides.

Leng Yaozhu withdrew her gaze, turned around, and continued walking forward.

She needs to pave the way for them, but she also needs to let them forge their own paths.

She will receive all the resources she is entitled to, and she will receive all the protection she is entitled to.

But ultimately, they have to walk their own path.

She wanted these children to become the backbone of the new generation of the Spirit Pagoda, and the Sea God the Leng Family for the next few decades.

Bai Yuan walked to Leng Yaozhu's side and glanced at her.

The smile on her lips has remained there since the competition, and she just can't seem to suppress it.

"Teacher, what's next?"

Leng Yaozhu didn't look at him, staring straight ahead, the light and shadow at the end of the passage flowing across her face.

"Go back to the Spirit Pagoda and get some rest."

"Wait for them to act."

Bai Yuan's brow twitched slightly.

"Them? Shrek?"

Leng Yaozhu did not answer.

She quickened her pace and walked out of the passage.

Bai Yuan watched her retreating figure, stood there for a moment, and then followed her.

The teacher didn't say anything, and he didn't ask any further questions.

He could roughly guess what Shrek Academy would do; Cai Yue'er had lost so much face, they wouldn't let it go so easily.

The Heavenly Sea Grand Competition is not just an exhibition match; the team and individual competitions are the main events.

The real battle may not take place in the ring.

Gu Yuena walked beside Bai Yuan, her purple eyes watching Leng Yaozhu's back.

"The teacher is in a good mood."

Bai Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

"How could I not be in a good mood after winning the game?"

Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment, her voice very soft.

"What was that spear we had today?"

She saw it—the illusory image of that dark golden spear, peering into that primordial power!

It turned out to be a power that made her soul tremble.

It wasn't Soul Power, it wasn't elemental power, it wasn't any kind of power she knew.

Bai Yuan turned his head to look at her; his face was reflected in her purple eyes.

A hint of curiosity, which she herself was unaware of, lingered in her eyes.

Bai Yuan remained silent for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Secret."

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze and asked no more questions.

This person harbors a major secret!

"Perhaps we can cooperate!"

"He can become my pawn!"

Inside the Spirit Pagoda

Bai Yuan leaned back on the sofa in the lounge, legs crossed.

He scrolled through the news on his Soul Tool out of sheer boredom, and the more he read, the more his lips twitched.

"Three Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring suddenly appear! The young man from the Spirit Pagoda slays the Shrek genius with a single sword strike!"

"Shrek's seven heroes were defeated by three, their eternal glory suffered a crushing blow!"

"A new generation of Spirit Pagoda has risen, and the number one power on the continent may change hands!"

The headlines from various media outlets were increasingly exaggerated, and the accompanying photos were all of him surrounded by three black Soul Ring on the field.

Local media in Skysea City used bold, large font, and the media in Heaven Dou City were not to be outdone.

Even major media giants in Ming Capital featured the exhibition match on their homepages.

Even more outrageous, the official information platform of the Spirit Pagoda also released a press release with meticulous wording but a headline that was anything but humble.

The ending line, "A new generation of Spirit Pagoda has risen, and the number one power on the continent may change hands," is utterly humiliating to Shrek Academy.

Online forums were in an uproar, with posts flooding in like snowflakes.

Some analyzed the origins of his three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, some discussed Gu Yuena's elemental control, and some praised A Ruheng's Berserk Vajra.

There were even people there seriously analyzing whether Shrek's perennial number one title could be retained.

Shrek's die-hard fans fought back, saying it was just an exhibition match, not an official game.

Some say Shrek's main players didn't come, and that Yu Yuanheng was just careless for a moment.

But these excuses were pitifully weak in the face of the absolute strength of these three people.

Losing against a 7-on-3 opponent makes any excuse seem weak.

Bai Yuan flipped through the overwhelming reports and suddenly felt that it was all a bit unreal.

The force was far more exaggerated than he had imagined.

However, the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition is just the beginning; the real highlight is yet to come.

This list is just the first step.

Bai Yuan lightly swiped his finger across the Soul Guidance Screen, switching to the page for the Youth Genius Ranking.

The "Youth Genius Ranking" was established by the Spirit Pagoda with the aim of promoting the development of the Soul Master World and encouraging talented Soul Master to continuously improve.

To be included on the list, one must be a young Soul Master under the age of eighteen, and the evaluation will be based on a comprehensive assessment of factors such as combat strength, talent, and secondary profession.

With only thirty seats available, those on the list are undoubtedly the most powerful young talents in the entire Douluo Continent.

Everyone says so: the Spirit Pagoda says so, Shrek says so, and all the media across the continent say so.

It's as if being on this list is equivalent to obtaining the key to the door of the strong, as if those names are the future rulers of the continent.

Bai Yuan stared at the newly updated rankings of himself and Gu Yuena on the screen, a mocking smile curving his lips.

Yu Yuanheng, who was ranked fifth, was defeated by him head-on and rushed to fifth place today, while Gu Yuena directly entered the top ten.

But this list is actually a list of clowns, and the genius teenagers on the list were also incredibly successful in the original story.

But as Tang Wulin stepped from the Eastsea Academy onto the stage, those names became footnotes on his path forward.

It reads, "So-and-so was once a prodigy, but was later defeated by Tang Wulin."

A list with thirty positions—ultimately, its purpose is to serve as a stepping stone for the main characters.

And now, he himself is standing on this very platform.

Ranked fifth on the Youth Genius Ranking, the hope of the continent, and the pride of the Spirit Pagoda.

Those geniuses who were crushed by Tang Wulin in the original novel lost because their ceiling was just that – a limit.

But he was different.

He has Xiao Bai, Mydei, Cipher, and the power accumulated through countless reincarnations.

His limitations are beyond the comprehension of this world. No matter how strong Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw is, can it be stronger than the Spear of Divine Retribution?

No matter how noble his bloodline, can it be more noble than the power of the Aeon?

Even the Dragon God!

Is it more powerful than the Aeon?

That's just bragging!

Bai Yuan smiled, picked up the Soul Guidance Screen, and turned off the news.

Bored, time to go to training. He held the doorknob of Gu Yuena's room for a moment, then knocked twice.

Gu Yuena's voice came from inside, sounding a bit sleepy.

Bai Yuan peeked through the crack in the door and saw the silver-haired girl nestled in the blankets.

Only her purple eyes were visible as she stared at him.

He smiled and asked her what she wanted for dinner.

But the most important thing is to take advantage of this opportunity.

Strategically inquire about their next steps!
