Wind Rises from the Tip of a Blade of Grass, She Once Summoned Rebirth in a Realm of Death (I)!

As soon as Sky Screen finished speaking,

All living beings watching the Sky Screen erupted once more!

"!?"

"The seventh-ranked genius on the Heavenly Pride Ranking is actually another genius from the Star Dragon Sanctuary?"

"That Ziyao was already terrifying enough. If Lan Tianhua ranks ahead of him, wouldn't she be even more monstrous...?"

"What kind of place is this Star Dragon Sanctuary? How can it produce monsters like these one after another?"

"..."

For a time,

The discussions surrounding the Star Dragon Sanctuary and Lan Tianhua reached their peak!

"I... I made the ranking too?!"

Star Dragon Sanctuary,

Dragon Martial Clan Plaza.

Lan Tianhua froze for a moment before suddenly leaping into the air, her voice full of excitement.

"Look!"

"I knew it! I, Lan Tianhua, am truly a peerless genius, to actually rank seventh on the Heavenly Pride Ranking!"

Ziyao hurriedly applauded, his slightly childish face filled with admiration. "Sister Tianhua is amazing!"

Kaifeng and Luo Xiaoyi exchanged a glance.

Both of them looked exceptionally calm, as though Lan Tianhua making the rankings had not surprised them in the slightest.

"Of course. I'm the foremost clan disciple of Morin Heaven Gate!"

As she spoke,

Lan Tianhua proudly raised her chin. A sly glint flashed through her eyes as she muttered,

"What do you think the Sky Screen will reward me with?"

"Could it be a legendary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone? Or an artifact?"

"It'd be best if it could be traded for money... No, it'd be best if it could be traded for lots and lots of money!"

At those words,

Helplessness flashed across the faces of Luo Xiaoyi, Kaifeng, and the others.

She was as money-grubbing as ever.

Even Bainuo, standing nearby, could hardly bear to watch any longer.

The corner of her lips twitched slightly as she asked faintly,

"Tianhua, can't you show a little more ambition?"

"Is the honor of being seventh on the Heavenly Pride Ranking worth less to you than a pile of treasure?"

Lan Tianhua gave a disgruntled snort and said angrily,

"I'm not as capable as the clan disciple of the Moon Sky Star Flow Sect. Having more treasure is always a good thing."

Bainuo shook her head helplessly and turned her gaze back to the Sky Screen.

Across the continent,

The leaders of every major faction wore solemn expressions as they stared fixedly at the Sky Screen.

Under the gaze of countless living beings,

The image on the scroll began to change, and Heavenly Voice resounded.

[Standing before you now is the foremost clan disciple of Morin Gate, one of the six gates of the Dragon Martial Clan in the Star Dragon Sanctuary! A child of wind possessing Extreme Wind and wielding the power of the Wood Element—Lan Tianhua!]

[She possesses Twin Martial Souls: beast martial soul—the Pterosaur King; weapon martial soul—the Wind-Controlling Dragon Blade!]

Immediately afterward,

The scroll began showing scenes of Lan Tianhua summoning her martial souls.

[Sola's First Soul Skill: Wood Whirlwind!]

[Sola's Second Soul Skill: Solitary Wood Palm!]

[Sola's Third Soul Skill: Crimson Heaven Divine Feather!]

[...]

[Wind-Controlling Dragon Blade's First Soul Skill: Non-Sword Fine Snow!]

[Wind-Controlling Dragon Blade's Second Soul Skill: Flying Swallow Whirlwind Slash!]

[Wind-Controlling Dragon Blade's Third Soul Skill: Extreme Flowing Dance!]

[Wind-Controlling Dragon Blade's Fourth Soul Skill: Arc Moon Slash!]

All living beings were stunned,

Because her beast martial soul, like Ziyao's, could exist independently of its owner!

Judging from the scenes displayed by the Sky Screen, her martial soul, Sola, possessed an extremely strong sense of self-awareness.

Star Luo Empire Imperial Palace.

Xu Jiawei sat back upon his throne, his eyes gaining several shades of gravity.

He looked at Xu Jiujiu, who stood before the hall, and said,

"Jiujiu, give the order. We need to speed things up."

"We must locate the Star Dragon Sanctuary before the other factions do."

Xu Jiujiu nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

When Ziyao had previously received a reward from the Sky Screen,

They had seen Lan Tianhua and the others appear in the footage.

Now that Lan Tianhua had made the ranking,

There was a strong possibility that those at the forefront of the Heavenly Pride Ranking were all geniuses from the Star Dragon Sanctuary!

If it could nurture so many geniuses, then the Star Dragon Sanctuary's strength was surely above that of Shrek Academy!

Star Dragon Sanctuary,

Dragon Martial Clan Plaza.

As Lan Tianhua watched her own heroic figure on the Sky Screen, the greed in her eyes gradually deepened.

She kept rubbing her hands together, muttering under her breath.

"The Sky Screen went into such detail when presenting me. It'll definitely reward me with plenty of good stuff!"

"Hurry up and finish already. I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich!"

Immediately afterward,

The Sky Screen's voice continued to ring out.

[Lan Tianhua is Morin Heaven Gate's greatest genius in its entire history! She advanced to Soul Ancestor at the age of twelve and broke through to the peak of Soul King at fourteen!]

[Possessing the power of the Wood Element, she mastered every secret art of Morin Heaven Gate in an extremely short time. She even grasped the Power of Rebirth within a realm of death!]

At those words,

Lan Tianhua abruptly lost her smile. Her eyes locked onto the words on the Sky Screen, and she faintly felt that something was wrong.

Under the astonished gaze of countless living beings,

The scene on the scroll began to change, settling upon a withered forest.

Clearly,

The Sky Screen was about to recount Lan Tianhua's past.

The mountain forest was not unfamiliar to the living beings. It was Beast Summoning Mountain, which had previously appeared on the Sky Screen!

Within the scene,

Two figures swiftly moved through a dense forest on the outskirts of Beast Summoning Mountain.

One of them was Lan Tianhua.

Beside her was a shapely young woman.

The girl possessed a steadier temperament. Her short golden hair was neat and capable, and she gave off an aura that kept strangers at a distance. She was none other than the clan disciple of the Moon Sky Star Flow Sect—Bainuo!

"Tianhua, slow down!"

"This area feels a little off to me."

Bainuo warned her, a trace of vigilance in her eyes.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Lan Tianhua turned her head and gave Bainuo a confident smile.

"We're both Soul Ancestors now! This is the perfect chance to find a few thousand-year Soul Beasts and practice!"

The two continued onward for quite some time.

Then, the surroundings began to change.

The forest path, which had originally still been fairly clear, vanished completely.

In its place lay a bizarre black wasteland.

The towering ancient trees on both sides had all withered, while black mist filled the surroundings.

Both girls stopped and warily looked around.

"This is... resentment?"

Lan Tianhua's expression changed slightly.

Her perception of life energy was extremely sharp.

She could sense the dense aura of death contained within the black mist.

Even separated by the Sky Screen,

All living beings could feel the cold, sinister resentment filling that mist, and they could not help growing tense.

The mist grew thicker and thicker.

In the blink of an eye,

Bainuo's figure had already vanished from sight.

A dragon-shaped Soul Beast appeared before Lan Tianhua, its entire body wrapped in evil energy. Its limbs were long and withered, and it looked like a skeleton.

Upon closer inspection,

Many dragon eyes were actually embedded across the dragon-shaped Soul Beast's body!

"This is... the Witch Ghost Dragon!?"

Lan Tianhua's pupils suddenly contracted.

She instinctively took half a step back as soul rings rose from beneath her feet!

Purple, purple, purple, black!

"!?"

"Three thousand-year soul rings? How could a Soul Ancestor possibly possess such a soul ring configuration?"

Before the living beings could marvel at Lan Tianhua's strength,

A burst of sinister laughter came from within the Witch Ghost Dragon first.

"Hehehe~"

"You dare trespass into my Ghost Illusion Realm, little girl? You have chosen death!"

At the same time,

The Sky Screen's voice rang out.

[The Witch Ghost Dragon, master of the Ghost Illusion Realm, is a sixty-thousand-year spiritual-type Soul Beast skilled in illusions and lightning-type soul skills!]

[The Witch Ghost Dragon survives by devouring soul masters. Even without reaching the hundred-thousand-year realm, it can understand human speech!]
