The Number One Sect in the World, the Clear Sky Sect?!

Two days passed quietly, like sand slipping through one's fingers. In the blink of an eye, the day of Dugu Bo's celebration banquet had arrived.

The banquet was being held at Heaven Dou City's largest hotel, the Jade Glazed Pavilion, an establishment owned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The hotel was extravagantly luxurious.

Glazed lamps hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire banquet hall as brightly as day. It was luxury at its finest; booking the whole place for one night cost a hefty sum in Gold Soul Coins!

The first guests to arrive at the celebration banquet were nobles and dignitaries of all ranks, dressed in splendid robes. They gathered in small groups, chatting animatedly.

Their topic of conversation was Dugu Bo: marveling at how he had broken through his bottleneck to become a Titled Douluo, and how drastically his appearance had changed afterward!

He seemed to be growing younger with age. Before Dugu Bo broke through his bottleneck, they had all seen this level-89 Soul Fighting Douluo expert, who had looked like an old man.

But now? He looked like the complete opposite of his former self, vastly different. If he had once been a withered old man, he was now a handsome middle-aged gentleman!

Dugu Bo in particular looked especially striking today. His face was like cold jade, sharply defined, and he wore a long emerald robe patterned with pythons. The Nine-Section Jade Scaled Snake Pendant hung from his waist.

His fingers tapped lightly as though he were pondering something. His emerald eyes remained fixed on the doors to the banquet hall.

Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu were receiving these nobles and dignitaries, while the guests Dugu Bo himself needed to receive were the sect masters of the Upper Three Sects!

As well as Prince Xue Xing, who had been half his savior!

"Upper Three Sects—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen has arrived!" At that moment, a resonant voice suddenly rang out, and everyone in the banquet hall turned their eyes toward the entrance.

An old man entered the Reception Hall, his silver hair exploding upward like lightning and a thick embroidered coat draped over him, covered in lightning patterns. With every gesture, he seemed to carry the rumble of thunder.

At his side was a six-year-old boy with clear blue eyes like a sunny sky. Still childish in appearance, he curiously examined everyone around him.

Seeing his arrival, Dugu Bo immediately rose to welcome him. A faint smile touched his lips as he said calmly, "Sect Master Yu, it has been several years since we last met. You are even more impressive than before."

"This must be Sect Master Yu's grandson, then? He does resemble you somewhat in your younger days. It seems the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a worthy successor."

Yu Yuanzhen smiled as he listened to the old fox's pleasantries. Just as he was about to speak, his pupils suddenly contracted. He said in surprise, "Brother Dugu, we have not met for years, yet you have already broken through your bottleneck and entered the realm of Titled Douluo. Congratulations, congratulations!"

"I never expected even your appearance to undergo such a dramatic change. Truly remarkable. It seems Brother Dugu has encountered some fortuitous opportunity as well!"

That was secondary. The crucial thing was that as he stood before Dugu Bo, his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was actually growing restless for some unknown reason!

"Brother Dugu, this is my grandson, Yu Tianheng. He has level-eight Innate Soul Power, the highest Innate Soul Power level produced by our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in over a decade," Yu Yuanzhen introduced.

Just then, Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan suddenly darted out from the nearby crowd. Dugu Yan sized Yu Yuanzhen up, then asked Dugu Bo, "Grandpa, is this the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Why is he so old?"

That was right. Though Yu Yuanzhen possessed an unusual aura, Dugu Yan did not understand such things. She only knew that Yu Yuanzhen was an old man!

"Yanyan, do not be rude!" Dugu Bo's tone was stern, but his eyes were full of indulgence as he looked at his two grandchildren. Thinking of Yu Yuanzhen's grandson, whose Innate Soul Power was only level eight, he could not help wanting to laugh!

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really was becoming increasingly short of talent. If he remembered correctly, Yu Yuanzhen also had a son, a good-for-nothing whose Innate Soul Power was an impressive 0.5 level.

Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan shrank back slightly and politely greeted Yu Yuanzhen, "Greetings, Sect Master Yu!"

Yet when Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianheng saw Dugu Yan, their eyes were fixed entirely on her. They simply could not look away.

Is this Yu Yuanzhen, someone from Grandpa's generation? What a pity. He will die in Spirit Hall's Spirit Hunting Operation, and the sect's foundation built over countless years will be destroyed in a single stroke!

Dugu Yao looked at Yu Yuanzhen and thought to himself.

"Fine children. Brother Dugu, you have two excellent grandchildren," Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile. Then he patted Yu Tianheng on the back. "Tianheng, you are all about the same age. You should have plenty to talk about, so go play together. Brother Dugu and I have other matters to discuss."

With that, Yu Yuanzhen left with Dugu Bo, the two chatting and exchanging pleasantries as they went. Both were old foxes.

"Eww—" Dugu Yan tugged on Dugu Yao's sleeve and said with some disgust, "Brother, what is wrong with that guy? He looks so dumb and awkward. Why does he keep staring at me?"

Dugu Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile, "Maybe it is because Yanyan is just too adorable. Anyone who saw such an adorable Yanyan would like her."

Ever since taking the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Dugu Yan's appearance had grown ever more ethereal. She was practically a beauty in the making, especially devastating to young boys!

"My... may I play with you? My name is Yu Tianheng. My Martial Soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, and I have level-eight Innate Soul Power~ I'm a genius soul master!" Yu Tianheng introduced himself with a smile. This was what he was proudest of.

But in Dugu Yan's eyes, Yu Tianheng was flaunting his talent. Had his Innate Soul Power been low, it would have been one thing, but she possessed Innate Full Soul Power!

She could not bring herself to like what he had said and immediately refused, "No! Don't even think about it. Go cool off somewhere else!"

Yu Tianheng was instantly dumbfounded. Dugu Yan took her brother's hand and left, finding an empty spot to sit down and shutting Yu Tianheng out.

Having been rejected, Yu Tianheng could only dejectedly go find his grandfather and return to his side.

"The Number One Sect in the World—the Clear Sky Sect's Sect Master Tang Wei has arrived!" A deep, powerful voice swept across the entire banquet hall, echoing through it.

Tang Wei's hair and beard were completely white. He wore heavy armor and radiated an imposing dominance, but his pale complexion suggested that his physical condition was not particularly good.

Behind him followed the young Tang Xiao and several disciples of the Clear Sky Sect. As direct descendants of the Number One Sect in the World, their gazes swept over everyone around them with barely concealed contempt.
