Bibi Dong: Entering the Divine Realm Through Her Own Strength?!

Ghost Douluo knelt below, daring to raise his head.

"Your Holiness, just who is Xu Qing?"

"Could he be even stronger than the Grand Worshipper?"

Bibi Dong suddenly opened her eyes, a deep trace of apprehension flashing through them.

"Qian Daoliu?"

"Though Qian Daoliu is a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, he relies on the lingering grace of the Angel God."

"But Xu Qing..."

Bibi Dong's voice trembled slightly.

"He could confront my Rakshasa Divine Power head-on and even completely overwhelm it."

"His strength is absolutely beyond level ninety-nine!"

Bibi Dong rose from her throne, her gaze passing through the dome of the great hall toward the distant horizon.

"Who exactly is he?"

"Could there truly be a monster in this world who can enter the Divine Realm through his own strength without needing an inheritance?"

Several days later.

Deep within Blue Silver Academy, at the Lake of Life.

The lakewater was crystal clear, while a dense mist of life energy hung over its surface, too thick to disperse.

Xu Qing wore a robe of azure and held a Purple Bamboo Fishing Rod as he lounged lazily atop a boulder by the lake.

The fishing line dangled into the water, but there was no hook on it.

Splash—

The surface of the water broke apart.

A petite Demon Soul Great White Shark with a perfectly streamlined body leaped out of the lake.

It was the "cute little Xiao Bai" Xu Qing had brought back.

Xiao Bai flipped over in midair and rubbed her head against Xu Qing's toes, which dangled over the water, in an utterly ingratiating manner.

Xu Qing chuckled softly.

A drop of pure life essence gathered at his fingertip, and he casually flicked it into Xiao Bai's mouth.

Xiao Bai wagged her tail excitedly, spinning joyfully through the water like a puppy that had been given a meaty bone.

On the other side of the boulder, Gu Yue Na sat quietly.

Her long silver hair cascaded like a waterfall. A gentle gleam rested in her violet eyes as she stared unblinkingly at Xu Qing's profile.

They sat very close together, their shoulders nearly touching.

Gu Yue Na leaned slightly closer, and a delicate orchid-like fragrance drifted to Xu Qing's nose.

"You certainly have it easy."

Gu Yue Na's voice was ethereal.

"The outside world has already been turned upside down by your Blue Silver Academy, yet you, the Dean, are hiding here amusing yourself with fish."

Xu Qing did not turn around, his gaze still resting on the lake's surface.

"Defeating a Heaven Dou Royal Academy is nothing major."

Xu Qing raised a hand, palm facing upward.

Fine golden motes, invisible to the naked eye, gathered from all directions and slowly merged into his body.

This was the Power of Faith.

Since the spar several days ago, news of the Imperial Fighting Team's defeat had spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire as though it had grown wings.

Blue Silver Academy's reputation had been established.

Countless soul masters and commoners began to feel reverence and longing toward this mysterious academy.

As those pure emotions gathered, they became the faith Xu Qing could now sense.

"Still, this disturbance has brought me a small unexpected gain."

Xu Qing sensed the steadily growing Power of Faith within his body.

"Gathering faith to condense a Godhood—this path is indeed feasible."

Gu Yue Na looked at the golden specks in Xu Qing's palm, a flicker of wonder passing through her eyes.

Just as the atmosphere between them was growing somewhat intimate.

Soft footsteps came from the woods.

Bi Ji, dressed in a long emerald-green gown, walked gracefully to the foot of the boulder.

"My Lord, Dean."

Bi Ji bowed slightly in greeting.

"The plants around the academy's perimeter just sent word that a rat has slipped inside."

"The intruder carries an extremely potent poisonous Soul Power aura. His cultivation is likely at the Title Douluo level."

Gu Yue Na's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and killing intent flashed through her violet eyes.

"A Title Douluo dares cause trouble here?"

"I'll kill him."

Just as Gu Yue Na was about to rise, a warm hand gently pressed onto her shoulder.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"He is merely a little bug that plays with poison. Why dirty your hands?"

Xu Qing put away the Purple Bamboo Fishing Rod and rose from the boulder.

"By the timing, it is indeed his turn to appear."

Xu Qing looked in the direction of Sunset Forest.

"There is an exceptionally unique place in Sunset Forest, called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"Two true pure-blooded dragons once perished there."

At the words "pure-blooded dragons," Gu Yue Na's gaze abruptly sharpened.

Xu Qing continued.

"The bodies of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King fell there. The convergence of their remaining souls and energy formed that heaven-blessed land."

"And this little poisonous bug who has wandered in happens to occupy that place."

Xu Qing dusted off his hands, his expression calm.

"Since the fish has taken the bait on its own, I'll go meet him myself."

"I'll also give him a tremendous opportunity. Whether he can seize it depends on him."

Xu Qing turned to Bi Ji.

"Do not interfere with him. Remove the outer guard and let him enter."

Night fell.

Outside Blue Silver Academy's towering walls, a green afterimage glided along the wall like a ghost.

Dugu Bo was shrouded in a faint poisonous mist, concealing his aura to the utmost limit.

He had absolute confidence in his stealth methods.

Across the entire continent, there were very few people who could discover his movements in the dark.

Dugu Bo vaulted over the academy wall and lightly touched down, making not the slightest sound.

At the instant he landed.

A thick stalk of Blue Silver Grass some distance away suddenly swayed, several leaves faintly pointing in his direction.

Dugu Bo's heart tightened.

Have I been discovered?

He held his breath and stared at the patch of grass, waiting for the guards to appear.

However, half a minute passed. Aside from the chirping of insects, there was no other movement around him.

Dugu Bo let out a breath and secretly mocked himself.

I really am getting old. I was actually frightened by a gust of wind.

It is just a commoner academy. It does not even have any decent guards. How could it possibly discover me?

Dugu Bo relaxed and strode deeper into the academy.

As he continued onward.

The ease on Dugu Bo's face gradually vanished, replaced by mounting shock.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was so dense it almost seemed capable of dripping into water!

With every breath, Dugu Bo could feel his eight extraordinary meridians pulse in soothing relief.

"How is this possible?!"

Dugu Bo stopped and greedily drew in a deep breath.

This feeling was far too familiar.

It was extremely similar to the core area of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, where he usually cultivated!

No, in some respects, the aura here was even gentler and purer than that of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

There was none of that violently extreme ice-and-fire power here. It was all the purest life energy.

Dugu Bo looked around at the unusually lush exotic flowers and strange herbs that glimmered faintly.

At last, realization dawned on him.

No wonder.

No wonder those geniuses from Heaven Dou Royal Academy had suffered a setback here.

No wonder even Xue Ke, that little girl with the useless martial soul, could advance by leaps and bounds in such a short time.

So this Blue Silver Academy had actually been built atop an unparalleled treasure land!
