Qian Daoliu Kneels?! Xu Qing's Terrifying Hidden Strength!

Right after that.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect appeared with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

The surging sword aura around Chen Xin instantly reduced the falling leaves nearby to dust.

The Upper Three Sects.

For the first time in history, they had gathered before the gates of an obscure academy!

Everyone felt their scalps go numb.

Their speculation about Blue Silver Academy's hidden strength instantly soared to an unimaginable level.

However, the shock awaiting them was far from over.

Two immensely grand and luxurious royal honor guards approached simultaneously from opposite ends of the road.

The fierce tiger banners of the Star Luo Empire fluttered in the wind.

Dai Weisi stepped down from his carriage in a magnificent robe, carrying himself with imposing dignity.

On the other side.

Xue Qinghe, crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Wearing Qian Renxue's disguised face, he approached with a gentle, refined smile.

The heirs of the two great empires had personally come to offer their congratulations!

The observing soul masters all gasped sharply.

"Even the two great empires value this so highly!"

"Just who is Xu Qing, Dean of Blue Silver Academy?"

"His influence is far too great!"

Just as the atmosphere reached its peak.

A series of chilling sounds tore through the sky.

The clouds churned violently, radiating an overwhelming presence.

A massive airship engraved with the emblem of the Six-Winged Angel slowly descended.

That was Spirit Hall's exclusive vessel!

Several figures radiating the terrifying aura of Title Douluos stepped down from the airship.

The entire scene fell silent once more.

One could hear a pin drop.

As everyone looked at the delegation representing the pinnacle of power on the continent, chills ran down their spines.

Spirit Hall had actually sent its upper echelons as well!

Today, Blue Silver Academy was gathering all the continent's top powers in one place!

The huge airship bearing the Six-Winged Angel emblem slowly descended.

The heavy pressure violently swept the dust from the ground.

Dazzling golden light poured from the airship's hatch, nearly blinding everyone.

An elderly man clad in crimson-gold armor, with a head full of golden hair, strode out.

Not a trace of Soul Power leaked from his body.

Yet merely standing there, he caused the clouds across the sky to stop churning, and even the wind to freeze.

Clear Sky Sect Leader Tang Xiao's pupils abruptly contracted, and cold sweat instantly seeped into the palm gripping his Clear Sky Hammer.

"Qian Daoliu."

Tang Xiao forced those three words through clenched teeth.

The several Clear Sky Sect elders beside him tensed all over, as though facing a deadly foe.

Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect sucked in a sharp breath, and even the lightning around him dimmed uncontrollably.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect tightened his grip around the scepter in his hand.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin instinctively stepped forward, shielding Ning Fengzhi behind him.

The leaders of the various great factions began questioning reality.

This was Spirit Hall's Grand Consecrator!

A level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo!

The ultimate powerhouse hailed as invincible in the skies!

Even when the emperors of the two great empires ascended the throne, they could never have invited a legendary old monster like him to move an inch.

Yet today, he had personally come to attend an academy dean's birthday banquet?

Xue Qinghe, crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, stood before the honor guard, his gaze flickering intensely.

Beneath her disguise, Qian Renxue bit down hard on her lips.

Even Grandfather had come in person. Just what enormous secret did this Blue Silver Academy conceal?

Everyone's eyes focused on Qian Daoliu.

Yet Qian Daoliu paid no attention at all to the so-called Upper Three Sects or the two great empires.

His gaze remained fixed on Blue Silver Academy's ancient gates.

The Peerless Douluo, who never changed expression even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, now had both hands trembling faintly beneath his armor.

His heart was filled with unease and anticipation.

"Could it be him?"

Qian Daoliu repeatedly asked himself in his heart.

A majestic silhouette from decades ago surfaced uncontrollably in his mind, one who had determined the fate of the world with a single finger.

By his calculations, if that senior was still alive, he would indeed be exactly one hundred years old.

But time wore everyone down.

That senior should be white-haired and frail with age by now, shouldn't he?

As countless thoughts ran through Qian Daoliu's mind.

Not only him, but every faction present felt an unprecedented curiosity toward this mysterious dean.

What kind of person could make the continent's peak powers obediently gather here?

"Welcome, everyone, to my hundredth birthday banquet."

A gentle, clear, jade-like voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears at once.

The voice was not loud.

Yet it effortlessly overwhelmed all the noise in the crowd.

Everyone's hearts tightened. Holding their breath, they looked expectantly toward the depths beyond the gates.

Blue Silver Academy's Dean had always been mysterious and rarely traveled the continent.

Since it was a hundredth birthday banquet, an image naturally formed in everyone's minds.

He had to be an immortal-looking old man, holding a cane and sporting a long white beard.

Inside the academy gates.

The Blue Silver Grass covering the mountains suddenly erupted with dazzling golden radiance.

Countless vines seemed to come alive, intertwining and gathering together.

A green carpet condensed from pure life force stretched from the rear mountain all the way to the gates.

Amid this vibrant embrace.

A tall, slender figure stepped upon the blades of grass and slowly walked out.

He wore a green robe, his black hair cascading freely down his back like a waterfall.

His face was handsome and otherworldly, his skin fair and luminous, his features so exquisite that not the slightest flaw could be found.

His deep eyes carried an indifference that seemed to see through the mortal world.

No matter how one looked at him, he was a graceful young man barely in his twenties!

The entire scene instantly fell into deathly silence.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their pupils trembling violently.

"Hiss—"

Sharp gasps rang out one after another from the crowd.

Yu Yuanzhen's jaw nearly hit the ground.

Tang Xiao even rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong.

This young man was Blue Silver Academy's Dean?

Was this some kind of joke?!

Wasn't it supposed to be a hundredth birthday banquet? How did he resemble a hundred-year-old man in the slightest?

Just as everyone began to doubt, assuming the academy had sent a young junior to receive them.

Qian Daoliu suddenly took three large steps forward.

This lofty Grand Consecrator of Spirit Hall.

Before the leaders of every major power across the continent, he bent both knees and heavily knelt on the ground.

"This junior, Qian Daoliu, pays respects to Senior!"

Qian Daoliu's voice resounded through the heavens, filled with unreserved fervor and reverence.

A flock of birds startled from the forest.

That kneel made everyone's scalps explode with shock.

Ning Fengzhi staggered back two steps and nearly lost his footing.

Dai Weisi stood there with his mouth agape, dumbstruck.

Peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu had actually called a young man Senior!

And he had even performed such a grand gesture of respect!

That could only mean that this harmless-looking young man in green was the genuine Centenarian Dean!

Everyone felt as though the blood in their bodies was about to freeze solid.

The leaders of every faction immediately realized that Dean Xu Qing possessed terrifying strength capable of overturning heaven and earth.

To make Qian Daoliu lower his head like this.

The waters of Blue Silver Academy ran so deep that no one could possibly see the bottom!
