Stars Shine Bright!

There are quite a few people who share the same thoughts as Qian Renxue.

They look forward to a close and evenly matched contest against a formidable opponent.

To verify what you have learned.

Learn more from experience.

With my sword drawn, I ask the heroes of the world, who can rival me?

And in the Second Division round...

There is a formidable mountain that cannot be avoided, named Ye Qingcang.

So, while the Spirit Hall was researching the Five Divisions Five Divisions Battles and their opponents, while Shrek Academy was studying the impact of this sudden ranking on the current situation, while Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, two Rogue Cultivator, were strolling around, and while the Temple Alliance was researching ways to defeat Ye Qingcang, this mountain, with the young people of the Demon Race Clan, what was Ye Qingcang doing at this moment?

The answer is to see a friend.

Ye Qingcang has many friends.

The key point is that Ye Qingcang only considers his friends' values and character when making friends, and has no requirements regarding their status, wealth, or power.

So, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu from the Tianshui Academy came, as did Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Academy, along with Huo Wushuang.

Feng Xiaotian was the same.

Unfortunately, his teammates were not very good.

It's no different from just passing by.

Naturally, there wasn't much to bring.

They were all kept behind by Feng Xiaotian, who then instructed them to inquire about the other opponents.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

As for the Thunder Academy, Lei Dong was not originally qualified to be invited, but Thunder Academy was founded by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. At the beginning of the Blue Tyrant Academy, they supported many teachers to go there. Some of them returned, while others chose to stay at the Blue Tyrant Academy. This relationship meant that even though Lei Dong was not strong enough, he could still be invited by Ye Qingcang because of his connections.

Here, he also met the twin stars, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.

Then, a shocking "Holy crap!" came out of his mouth.

"What, don't you recognize me?" Yu Tianxin, now sporting a golden lightning bolt mark on her forehead compared to their last meeting, couldn't resist teasing Lei Dong Lei Dong's stunned expression and retorting with a laugh, "Is it really that serious? Like an ignorant country bumpkin... Calm down, brother, it's no big deal!"

"It's no big deal?"

"You call this a no-brainer?"

"No, brother... don't you feel any remorse saying that?"

"Or is that a sticker stuck to your forehead?"

Lei Dong's jaw nearly dislocated from shock.

Feng Xiaotian, who was also drawn in, was stunned.

However, his astonishment was different from Lei Dong's, because what he saw was Yu Tianheng, who also had a blue Thunder Mark on his head, turning around. Especially when Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin stood together, the Deity aura was so strong that one could Wen Dao: "You two are quite something. Tianshui Academy just created a pair of sister Deity, and you two have already replicated a brother Deity?"

Holy crap!

"Yu Tianheng!"

"The same to you!"

Upon Feng Xiaotian's words, Lei Dong subconsciously looked at Yu Tianheng who was walking over, his expression freezing again, giving him a strange sense of "You guys Mingdu taken off, why didn't I know?"

Caught off guard, Yu Tianheng was also taken aback by Lei Dong's intense reaction.

But he quickly calmed down.

He shrugged, turned around, and then gestured for Lei Dong to look at the people around him. "What's so strange about this? Of the people who come here, eight out of ten are related to Deity. Let's not even talk about Shui Bing'er and the like. You should have seen that list that's been all over the place. Let's just talk about the people you don't know... See those monsters over there? They're wearing Blue Tyrant Academy uniforms, and some are wearing Blue Tyrant Academy Enforcement Team... Every single one of them is a monster I can't beat. Tianxin is the same. Before, when Tianxin and I teamed up against that gray-haired guy, even though we were both God Trial Taker, that monster still defeated us in thirty moves..."

"So, Brother Lei Dong, you must keep a calm mindset..." Yu Tianxin patted Lei Dong's shoulder, looking at Lei Dong's "Are you guys lying to me?" expression, and sighed with pity. Then, picking up where Yu Tianheng left off, she was half admonishing Lei Dong and half giving Feng Xiaotian a heads-up. "Later I found out that those monsters all learned from the clan leader. Not only did they cultivate the Stellar Martial Arts, but many of them also spent a lot of credits to have the clan leader teach them, one-on-one, and each of them possessed combat power exceeding fifteen levels..."

Feng Xiaotian initially didn't take it seriously.

In his mind.

Only the God Trial Taker can defeat the God Trial Taker.

Perhaps Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin were careless.

Only a very few geniuses found an opportunity to defeat them.

This is also the perception of most people in the world.

But when I heard that outrageous statistic, it was that the average combat power was 15 levels higher than the average person's.

I feel terrible.

He is quite old.

I'm over twenty.

They will definitely be unable to participate in the Second Division.

The main reason for this visit is to show off in front of others.

But even for him, the damage from using his Self-Created Soul Skill is only this much.

Spanning fifteen levels.

It's still per capita.

Are you all inhuman?

As for Huo Yuhao, who was also invited, and Sky Dream Ice Worm, the million-year-old Soul Beast hiding in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Space, their feelings were even worse than those of Lei Dong and Xue Wu, who were just there to make up the numbers.

"It's like a small fish wandering into a banquet hosted by a group of sharks."

"Sharks are everywhere."

"This one is a shark named Shui Bing'er."

"This one is a shark named Huo Wu."

"Over there, three sharks are chatting."

"And over there, a group of sharks are having a meeting."

"Alas?"

"Do Demon Race also have sharks?"

"This shark... is it named Yue Ye?"

"The Human Race have arrived too."

"Sheng Cai'er, the prehistoric giant shark."

"Oh, right, there's also your acquaintance, Yuhao, the Butterfly God Trial Taker Wang Dong... cough cough, now we should call her Wang Dong'er. Also, there are a few smaller giant sharks... your Grandmaster Bei Bei and your master Tang Ya are talking to Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen."

"Huh?"

"Look what I've discovered!"

"A small fish of the same size?"

Huo Yuhao subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

I spotted Xiao Xiao was petite, in the crowd.

He hesitated for a moment, then patted his forehead.

I couldn't help but criticize Sky Dream Ice Worm's bizarre commentary. "Brother Tianmeng, can you please stop with your overly abstract descriptions?"

"The little bug's description wasn't great, but the lesson he wanted to teach you is correct..." The gray orb of light moved, looking at Huo Yuhao was listening attentively, and earnestly instructed, "There are indeed many geniuses here, and I hope you will always remember... there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. Never be complacent or arrogant!"

Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously.

People's horizons are constantly expanding.

He still remembered that when he left the Duke's Mansion, his goal was simply to obtain a Soul Ring, embark on the path of Soul Master, and one day take revenge on the Duchess killed his mother and God of Destruction the entire Duke's Mansion.

As for how to destroy the Duke's mansion.

At the time, he did not have a clear understanding or plan.

He didn't even know how powerful the Duke's Mansion was.

All I know is how competitive I am.

He couldn't explain exactly how strong he was.

After gaining Brother Tianmeng's support and receiving help from Teacher Xiao Ya and Grandmaster Bei Bei, his goal after entering Shrek Academy became to study hard and become a Title Douluo, so that he would be qualified to take revenge on the Duchess and the Duke's Mansion in the future.

He had already made some progress by then.

They understood what a colossal entity they were facing.

He realized that even becoming a Title Douluo only granted him the right to seek revenge, not a guarantee of success—a sad truth.

But after meeting Ye Qingcang Ye Qingcang and getting to know him, he saw his path clearly for the first time. He knew which methods would help him become stronger and were twice as effective, and which methods would not help him become stronger and were twice as effective. At each stage on the path to becoming stronger, he knew how to allocate his points, whether to focus on physical fitness, mental cultivation, or balanced allocation, and what bias there was in absorbing Soul Ring.

Two people were the biggest help to him in this regard.

One is Ye Qingcang.

The Four Imperial Arts are really powerful.

If you pick one out on its own, it's very strong.

For example, the Earth Control Art.

He mastered the Earth Control Art.

Any other Soul Tool Master is a junior in front of you.

Unless it's someone like Kong Deming, who has fused his Soul Tool with his bloodline, creating something similar to a magical artifact in a cultivation novel.

Otherwise, no matter what methods he has, even if Rank 9 Soul Tool Master points a level nine energy cannon at you, you can destroy the metal core of the level nine energy cannon, destroy the inscription of the level nine energy cannon, and make the level nine energy cannon explode. You can't even talk about the noble skill of immunity to damage. You will be paralyzed from the bottom up.

After mastering all Four Imperial Arts.

Take Huo Yuhao, for example, right now.

Under the guidance of the Necromancer Saint, Electrolux.

The Four Imperial Arts are purely for use.

He also mastered other derived techniques.

In this world, no one can overcome him in terms of attributes.

Even in Electrolux's assessment.

The Four Imperial Arts are the kind of secret techniques that can be used until one dies of old age.

Perhaps a better alternative will emerge in the future.

But the Four Imperial Arts will never be outdated or useless.

Ye Qingcang's teaching him the Four Imperial Arts was like pointing out a new path for him, allowing him to reach the peak simply by following the steps of cultivation, raising the minimum standard to an extremely high level.

The second person to give him guidance was Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan instructed him, focusing on the Soul Master system.

Although Jiang Nannan also knows the Four Imperial Arts.

However, Jiang Nannan always believed that maximizing skill points was not advisable.

Therefore, during his many visits seeking guidance, Jiang Nannan generously taught him a body-refining secret technique, a relatively gentle one, and instructed him that the spirit and the physical body should maintain a balanced proportion.

Excessive mental strength leads to physical weakness.

Various ailments will then manifest in the body.

Mentally weak, physically overly strong.

It's like an ordinary person carrying a 200-pound load while moving around; even a simple action like getting up would be difficult to sustain.

Therefore, he never thought highly of himself.

Because he knew very well that he was not a genius.

Perhaps compared to ordinary people, such as Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Lan Susu, and Ye Qingcang Lan Luoluo, he can indeed be called a genius. But compared to Ye Qingcang, or even compared to a genius like Jiang Nannan, he is just an ordinary person, just like Xiao Xiao.

"They say that genius is the threshold to seeing him."

"Indeed, there's some truth to that statement."

"Look what I found!"

The voice came from behind him, startling Huo Yuhao, who was somewhat distracted.

Turn your head, turn around.

A girl as elegant and mysterious as the moon, yet possessing a captivating allure, stood about three meters behind him, holding a glass of red wine, gazing at him as if she had discovered an interesting toy.

Huo Yuhao knew this woman.

Yue Ye, daughter of the Moon Demon God Agares.

She is six years older than him.

He is a highly regarded genius among the Demon Race.

Don't ask why it's not the highly favored winner, because ever since Ye Qingcang clearly stated that he would participate, most people in other factions have tacitly accepted who the champion of the Second Division will be.

Only a very few geniuses defy this belief.

He was still thinking about competing with Ye Qingcang.

It's not surprising that Ye Qingcang defeated Bo Saixi.

Defeating Tang Chen is nothing special.

Maybe he took a shortcut; after all, Ye Qingcang was originally Asura God Test Taker.

The vast majority of the other geniuses learned of Ye Qingcang's true strength through their own means. Rather than competing for the championship, it would be more accurate to say that all their efforts were aimed at becoming second place. This second place was more valuable than any other second place, and it might even be a piece of gold that would be permanently engraved in history after the establishment of the Two Worlds Exchange Tournament.

To put it bluntly.

Ye Qingcang was able to fight the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu to a draw.

He believed he couldn't defeat the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu.

It's best not to test your skills with Ye Qingcang.

Therefore, a high level of public support only means that there are many supporters.

This does not mean that Yue Ye is the champion.

In fact, within the Demon Race, there are two other people who are also quite popular: A Bao, the son of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, and Leng Xiao, the daughter of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu. However, since A Bao supports Yue Ye, and Leng Xiao and Yue Ye are also very close friends, after the establishment of the Saint Demon Federation, Yue Ye's status rose due to Ye Qingcang's relationship, and she became one of the first people to benefit from the Human-Demon Hybrid. Long Haochen, as one of the first to benefit from the Human-Demon Hybrid bloodline, naturally received more support.

However, Huo Yuhao knows Yue Ye, Yue Ye does not know Huo Yuhao.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao appeared here.

Unbeknownst to them, a disaster was averted.

Since everyone here is Ye Qingcang's friend, even out of respect for Ye Qingcang, Yue Ye wouldn't act out of mere curiosity. "Little brother, remember to conceal your scent. Necromancy... even among us Demon Race, it's quite taboo. If those people from the Six Great Temples discover it, you could be executed, you know?"

"Execute him?"

"What happened?"

Chen Ying'er happened to walk nearby.

There was also a strawberry-flavored cake on the plate.

I heard the sound of the Yue Ye.

I turned my head and glanced at it.

Then, out of curiosity, I walked over.

He posed a question that Huo Yuhao could not answer.

But the Yue Ye was no less beautiful than Chen Ying'er's.

Or rather, her confidence surpasses that of Chen Ying'er.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, saying nothing, but silently hitting Chen Ying'er's sore spot. Coupled with a seemingly clueless question, he practically bombarded her with a direct attack. "Oh, our Legendary Summoner is here too... Could it be that we're going to recreate the famous scene of summoning him?"
