"They clearly don't have Spirit Bones!"
A glint of wisdom flashed through Yu Yuanzhen's eyes. "Watch carefully and you'll see. Though those ninjas have strong physical foundations, their bodies lack the defensive reinforcement and amplification granted by Spirit Bones."
Yu Luomian instantly came to a realization, his eyes lighting up. "That's right! In that case, with your Soul Power foundation, Big Brother, the explosive power of your Martial Soul, and the enhancement of Spirit Bones, you'd have an overwhelming advantage upon entering the dungeon!"
Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard and sneered.
"In three days, Tang Xiao will be the only opponent worth facing! The rest are nothing to worry about!"
The mountains surrounding the Clear Sky Sect were shrouded in swirling clouds and mist, while the entire sect was immersed in jubilant celebration.
The disciples ran about spreading the news, and cheers rose one after another.
"Wonderful! The Sect Master has been chosen by the Sky Screen!"
"After lying dormant for so many years, is our Clear Sky Sect finally returning to the stage of the continent and reemerging into the world?"
"Of course! Our sect has several Title Douluo standing guard, and our foundation runs unfathomably deep. We no longer fear Spirit Hall!"
Listening to the excited cheers of his disciples, Tang Xiao stood atop the mountain with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Sky Screen overhead. Heroic ambition surged within his chest as he cried out grandly:
"Mighty Clear Sky Sect, brilliant Clear Sky Hammer! After years of dormancy, tomorrow shall be the day our Clear Sky Sect returns to the world!"
The elders beside him echoed his words, their faces filled with excitement.
"The Sect Master is right! With this Sky Screen dungeon as our opportunity, we can let the entire continent witness the might of the Clear Sky Sect once more!"
An elder swept his gaze across the list of five selected people and commented calmly:
"Among those chosen this time, only Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is somewhat troublesome. The rest are merely insignificant figures."
Someone immediately chimed in:
"More than that! Dugu Bo's level is low, and that Martial Soul Hall Saint is still young with a shallow foundation. Only the Sect Master is in his prime, and the Clear Sky Hammer reigns supreme beneath the heavens. This opportunity across worlds is destined to fall into the hands of our Clear Sky Sect!"
"If we can learn Otherworld Ninjutsu in the dungeon and combine it with the Clear Sky Hammer, surpassing Spirit Hall will be just around the corner!"
The elders all nodded in agreement, their spirits soaring.
At that moment, a levelheaded elder furrowed his brow and offered a reminder:
"Do not underestimate our enemies, everyone. Do not forget that the Naruto Continent has a top force such as Konoha, with unfathomable foundations and powerful experts everywhere. They must not be taken lightly."
The voices fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao remained composed, a confident curve on his lips as he spoke calmly:
"It is of no concern. I already have a plan."
"Though Sarutobi Hiruzen is level 97, he is old! There is no need to worry about him. As for Minato Namikaze, he is troublesome, but he has an opponent of his own!"
His gaze drifted toward the distant sky, hidden sharpness flickering in his eyes.
"Whether we can use this dungeon to secure a supreme opportunity for the Clear Sky Sect... everything will be decided in three days."
Shrek Academy
The teachers and students throughout the academy were immersed in wild delight over Tang San's selection. Everyone was flushed with excitement, and laughter and cheers filled the air.
Tang San alone stood amid the crowd, feeling icy cold from head to toe, as if he had fallen into a frozen abyss in the depths of winter.
The three glaring words "Otherworld Transmigrator" had been directly marked beside his name on the Sky Screen, announced to the entire continent.
That was the greatest secret he had never wanted anyone to see, yet it had now been ripped open in public and exposed before everyone's eyes.
The entire continent could see it clearly. There was no longer any room for concealment.
At that moment, he would rather give up this heaven-defying opportunity than have the secret of his transmigration and rebirth revealed to the public in such a manner.
Xiao Wu was perceptive and immediately noticed Tang San's pale face and low spirits. She hurriedly tugged lightly at his sleeve and asked worriedly, "Third Brother, what's wrong? Everyone is so happy, but you look completely upset."
Tang San forcibly suppressed the terror and panic in his heart, managing a strained smile as he pretended to be calm. "Nothing. I was only thinking about how to deal with the powerful experts of the Naruto Continent and the unknown changes that might arise after entering the dungeon tomorrow."
Before Xiao Wu could ask further, Dai Mubai had already come over with an admiring grin. "Little San really is calm and composed. If it were Fatty, he'd already be so excited that he'd forget himself and run around everywhere."
Ma Hongjun scratched his head and chuckled foolishly, nodding honestly in agreement.
A sharp glint flickered in Dai Mubai's eyes, and his tone carried deliberate friendliness. "Little San, you've received a tremendous opportunity this time. When you make it big in the future, don't forget us brothers."
His mind was clattering away with calculations.
Not a single person from the Star Luo Empire had been selected. He was living in a foreign land, and his future prospects were uncertain. As long as he latched onto Tang San and obtained even a little of the Ninjutsu opportunity brought back from the dungeon, returning to Star Luo would be a great achievement. He might even gain leverage in the struggle for the throne.
Tang San was troubled and distracted at the moment, with no time to ponder the deeper meaning behind Dai Mubai's words. He merely nodded absentmindedly.
Dai Mubai was overjoyed at the sight and immediately laughed loudly. "Tonight is on me! I'll treat everyone! Let's celebrate properly!"
Cheers immediately erupted around them, and the atmosphere grew even livelier.
Amid the crowd, Ning Rongrong alone furrowed her delicate brows, her eyes filled with suspicion.
She coolly studied Tang San, who was forcing himself to remain calm, and muttered to herself:
How was that the expression of someone considering how to handle the dungeon? He was clearly flustered and uneasy, weighed down by worries.
And what exactly did the Sky Screen mean by "Otherworld Transmigrator"?
Her instincts told her that Tang San's abnormal emotions were absolutely connected to those three words.
Meanwhile, in the woods hidden within Shrek Academy, a solitary figure stood silently.
It was Tang Hao, concealed nearby.
When his gaze fell upon the five words "Otherworld Transmigrator" on the Sky Screen, he was struck as if by lightning. His emotions became incomparably complicated, shock and realization intertwining.
"So that's how it is... So this is your true face..."
Earlier, he had secretly been delighted that Tang San had been selected to enter the dungeon, believing that his son possessed profound fortune.
But the merciless truth exposed by the Sky Screen instantly shattered all the self-deception he had maintained over the years.
He forcefully suppressed his turbulent emotions and calmly calculated in secret:
Now was not the time to confront him and demand answers.
His eldest brother had also been selected to enter the dungeon. With his eldest brother watching over him, and with Tang San as well, their chances of obtaining the Ninjutsu opportunity from the Naruto Continent were extremely high.
And this was also his best chance to return to the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Hao's gaze darkened as he secretly gritted his teeth:
It seemed that over the next two days, he had to find an opportunity to meet Tang San in private and properly train him!
Spirit Hall
Yu Zhi raised his head to stare at the list of five people prominently displayed on the Sky Screen. He stood there dumbfounded for a long while, utterly stunned.
He clicked his tongue inwardly.
"If there's no trick behind this, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death! But for me, this is undeniably a huge boon."
"I'll test it a few more times. Once I'm completely sure the Sky Screen really is my cheat, Brother Zhi is truly going to soar to the heavens."
Just as Yu Zhi was eagerly imagining the opportunities and benefits awaiting him, the bedroom doors were suddenly pushed open.
Bibi Dong strode in quickly, her stunning eyes brimming with barely concealed excitement and delight.
The moment she saw the list of selected people announced on the Sky Screen, she had rushed over as soon as her initial surprise faded.
Someone from Spirit Hall had truly been selected for the dungeon, and it was Yu Zhi, the person closest to her—not one of those old fogeys from the Worship Hall. That filled her heart with particular joy.
