Bibi Dong is Shocked

"Under fifteen? How is that possible? Teacher, could it be some old monster in disguise?" Dugu Yan asked, unable to believe it.

If you said someone under fifteen was a Spirit Master or even a Spirit King, they could accept it.

But to defeat two Titled Douluo? How could they possibly accept that?

Dugu Yan considered herself acquainted with many geniuses, and in her mind, their team captain—the Yu Tianheng she admired—might not have the absolute strongest talent, but he was certainly among the top tier.

How strong was Yu Tianheng at fifteen? This made it impossible for her to believe that someone like Ye Xuan could exist.

"I have accurate information; the age should be true. I hear they will continue to come to the Great Spirit Arena for spirit fights. Let's stay a few more days and observe before we leave," Qin Ming said.

"Will the person who defeated the Titled Douluo be competing?" Yu Tianheng asked.

Qin Ming shook his head. "No, but the two young girls he brought with him will be."

"Teacher, you said you were hunting a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast. How could a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast come to the Great Spirit Arena?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled.

"Hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts can choose to take human form. Although I don't know why this spirit beast wanted to come to the human world, she is studying at an academy here, and the people at that academy don't seem to be aware of it either," Qin Ming said.

Qin Ming had, of course, already found out which school Xiao Wu was attending.

But he felt that whether he mentioned it or not was unimportant, so he didn't tell his students.

Because this spirit beast was at Shrek Academy, he didn't want to bring any unnecessary trouble to them by speaking out.

At night.

Spirit Hall Main Branch.

Inside the small courtyard where Ye Xuan resided.

Xiao Wu came into the courtyard and said to Ye Xuan, "Brother Ye, when did you find out I was a spirit beast?"

"The first time we met," Ye Xuan replied.

"This..." Xiao Wu hadn't expected it to be that early.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Wu asked again, "Brother Ye, how do you view spirit beasts?"

"I view them with a normal heart. Whether it's spirit beasts or humans, there are both good and bad," Ye Xuan said.

"View them with a normal heart?" Xiao Wu finally understood why Ye Xuan had said those things to her back in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ye Xuan had told her that humans hunting spirit beasts was no different from strong spirit beasts preying on the weak.

"Thank you, Brother Ye," Xiao Wu thanked him again, though this time it was for the clarity he had provided.

"Keep this on you. If you encounter any danger while you're out, it can protect you, and I will be able to arrive immediately," Ye Xuan said, taking out a plain jade pendant.

However, this ordinary pendant had been infused with a strand of Ye Xuan's sword energy; the energy it released could withstand a full-force strike from a level 95 Titled Douluo.

Furthermore, when the pendant was triggered, Ye Xuan could instantly sense her location.

Ye Xuan had given such a pendant to Zhu Zhuqing, and later, one to Ning Rongrong as well.

Now that Xiao Wu was here, she naturally had one of her own.

"Thank you, Brother Ye." Xiao Wu took it with both hands, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Ye Xuan, "Brother Ye, I hope you won't blame Third Brother because of Grandmaster. He won't be your enemy."

"Rest assured, I don't care about that. I promised his father that as long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't deal with him," Ye Xuan said.

"Third Brother's father?" Xiao Wu was startled; she hadn't expected Ye Xuan to know Tang San's father.

"Yes. I'll tell you, but don't tell him. After all, neither his father nor Yu Xiaogang told him, clearly because they didn't want him to know prematurely. His father is the Haotian Douluo who was famous across the continent, and his wife—Tang San's mother—was a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor. Because they were hunted by Spirit Hall, his mother sacrificed herself and became Haotian Douluo's spirit ring. They and Spirit Hall are, for all intents and purposes, mortal enemies," Ye Xuan said bluntly.

"What?"

Xiao Wu hadn't expected that not only was Tang San's father extraordinary, but his mother was as well.

"No wonder Third Brother's Blue Silver Grass is so remarkable," Xiao Wu remarked with emotion.

"Yes, I know he has twin spirits. Besides the Blue Silver Grass, there is the Clear Sky Hammer. Yu Xiaogang has staked his entire life on him; he himself is a failure and needs a powerful disciple to prove his worth. Tang San is the best candidate," Ye Xuan said mockingly.

If it were before, even if Ye Xuan didn't like Yu Xiaogang, he wouldn't have spoken such disparaging words.

But now that Yu Xiaogang had made it clear he intended to deal with him, why should he bother acting like a gentleman?

Why didn't he kill Yu Xiaogang?

It wasn't out of regard for the protagonist's status, nor was it out of any hesitation.

It was because he felt that killing Yu Xiaogang outright would be giving him an easy way out.

He wanted to drive Yu Xiaogang into absolute despair.

He would make Yu Xiaogang understand that his proudest disciple was nothing in Ye Xuan's eyes.

And as for the person he loved, Ye Xuan would pay her a visit in the future as well.

"Does Brother Ye mean that Grandmaster is using Third Brother?" Xiao Wu asked worriedly.

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "No, Haotian Douluo is Yu Xiaogang's idol; he will help Tang San well enough. You don't need to worry about that."

"Oh!"

After hearing all this, Xiao Wu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because she could feel that, in Ye Xuan's eyes, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were completely beneath his notice.

It was laughable that Yu Xiaogang was always plotting against Ye Xuan, unaware that the latter didn't even deign to look at him.

"Right, those two elders from Spirit Hall who spoke with you back then, Brother Ye—did they think you were a spirit beast?" Xiao Wu asked her final question.

"That should be the case. They knew I possessed immense power without ever manifesting a spirit. Unable to comprehend it, they assumed I was a powerful spirit beast in human form. They chose to test me at first, but this time, the two of them came personally, likely intending to capture me. They tracked me to the Great Spirit Arena and happened to run into you," Ye Xuan said.

"Brother Ye, are you truly confident in facing Spirit Hall?" Xiao Wu asked.

Although her understanding of Spirit Hall wasn't extensive, she knew it was the most powerful organization on the continent.

To pit one's own strength against the strongest force in the world was no simple feat.

"I am. Furthermore, I taught those two a lesson this time. If Spirit Hall is smart, they should choose to compromise with me," Ye Xuan replied.

Over ten days later.

Spirit City.

Inside the Pope Palace.

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived to see Bibi Dong.

When Bibi Dong saw the two of them, a cold glint flashed through her phoenix eyes.

"Gui Mei, Yue Guan, what is the meaning of this? You didn't bring the person back, and you've returned injured like this?"

Bibi Dong's voice was icy, causing both men to tremble involuntarily.

The two shuddered and knelt directly on the ground. "Your Holiness, when we arrived in Soto City, we encountered a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, and then..."

Yue Guan recounted the events of their trip to Bibi Dong in detail.

"How is this possible?" After listening, even Bibi Dong wore a look of shock.

In this world, how could such a powerful individual, one who had never been heard of before, suddenly appear out of thin air?
