Wu Yun's Arrogance

The Sky Screen did not respond immediately. Time continued to pass, and Wu Yun could not suppress the excitement on his face.

Hearing Wu Yun's shameless boasting on the Sky Screen, Long Xiaoyao's face, previously as still as an ancient well, revealed a trace of mockery.

He was mocking Wu Yun's naïveté.

"I shall wait for the moment the Sky Screen expels you."

Shrek Academy.

Hearing Wu Yun's words, Mu En did not so much as twitch a facial muscle, as though he had already seen how this would end.

Only Jing Hongchen, who was in the Illustrious Virtue Hall, felt as though thousands upon thousands of ants were crawling through his heart. It was unbearable.

Nothing could have hurt more than the thought that his Divine Position was about to fall into someone else's hands.

Inside the Sky Screen Space, the Deep Sea Demon Whale Emperor's aura erupted the moment she heard Wu Yun's words. She shot straight toward him, coming to a steady halt before him.

"Tell me quickly! Just who has Tang San become?"

Wu Yun paid her no attention. Even though the aura this Soul Beast emitted was no weaker than that of the Holy Spirit Cult's supreme leader, it could no longer intimidate him.

Who could possibly hurt me in this space?

Seeing that the Sky Screen still had not reacted, Wu Yun spoke again.

"Honored Sky Screen, this humble one has already figured out who Tang San is. Please allow me to identify him."

This time, the Sky Screen answered him.

[Identification will take place after the answering period for the next question ends. Identification is not yet available. Please wait patiently.]

After saying this, the Sky Screen immediately announced the time of the next question.

[Three days remain until the next question. Please prepare.]

Hearing the Sky Screen's words, Wu Yun's wildly elated heart settled down.

He had thought he would receive a Divine Position right away. Who could have imagined he would still have to wait?

Although he felt dissatisfied, even a little angry, he did not dare vent it at the Sky Screen. An existence like that was utterly beyond his influence.

"Understood, honored Sky Screen Envoy. This humble one understands."

With that, Wu Yun did not speak to Zhongli Wu again. Under all manner of gazes, he walked off alone.

Zhongli Wu watched Wu Yun leave, his face filled with murderous intent, wishing he could hack him into eight pieces.

The dog I raised actually dared to murder its master!

Watching what had happened with Wu Yun.

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized something and asked Bei Bei.

"Senior Brother, can everyone on the continent see what's happening in this space?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Tang Ya looked at him in shock. She was just about to ask why he would say that when Bei Bei answered.

"That's right, Yuhao. You're absolutely correct. Everyone on the Douluo Continent knows everything that happens here."

Hearing Bei Bei's answer, Tang Ya's entire face instantly turned scarlet.

Doesn't that mean everyone on the continent saw me hugging Bei Bei just now?

Nooo! How could this happen?

Tang Ya felt too ashamed to face anyone.

Bei Bei pretended not to notice Tang Ya's reaction and refrained from provoking her at a time like this.

About half an hour later, he took paper and a pen from his Storage Soul Tool, wrote down a line, and passed it to Huo Yuhao.

Written plainly on the paper were the words:

I know who that person was identifying as the ancestor.

Huo Yuhao was shocked when he saw that line, then thrust the paper into the hands of Tang Ya, who was hiding behind him.

Looking at the paper before her, Tang Ya hesitated.

Then, full of anticipation, she unfolded the note and revealed the same shocked expression as Huo Yuhao.

She hurriedly wrote another line and handed it to Bei Bei.

Is this true? Who exactly is that person? Is it really the ancestor?

Seeing these three questions, Bei Bei did not hesitate. He immediately wrote his answer on the paper.

The reason he wrote down what he wanted to say was to keep their discussion from reaching anyone else's ears.

Of course it's true. That person is right beside us, and her name is Wang Dong. As for whether she really is the ancestor, Grand Ancestor said she probably isn't.

Seeing the name written there, Tang Ya felt that it did make some sense.

After all, Wang Dong's actions and words earlier had defended their ancestor even more fiercely than she, the Tang Sect's sect master, had.

But when she saw the sentence that followed, she felt as though her brain had stopped working.

Of course she knew who Bei Bei's Grand Ancestor was.

He was the current Sea God Pavilion Master, one of the strongest people on the continent. His words carried tremendous credibility.

Since she could not figure it out, Tang Ya decided not to bother trying and simply wrote down her question.

Why would the Pavilion Master say that?

Looking at the question Tang Ya handed him, Bei Bei wrote his answer with great speed.

Because the ancestor isn't stupid.

After writing those words, he passed the paper back.

Tang Ya still could not understand after reading it. What did this have to do with being stupid?

Huo Yuhao, however, understood why he had said that. Taking the paper from Tang Ya, he wrote down his own deduction.

If the ancestor knew he would face danger, he would never put himself in harm's way. Wang Dong's actions were far too obvious.

Taking the paper, Tang Ya suddenly understood.

So that's it! If I encountered something like this, I would never be so bold either.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's skeptical gaze, Tang Ya grew angry out of embarrassment and pinched his tender cheeks hard.

"Little Yuhao, don't look at your teacher like that. I was only testing you earlier, understand?"

"I understand..."

Faced with the cheek-pinching assault, Huo Yuhao could only give an answer that went against his true feelings.

Amid their playful antics, three days quickly passed.

Meanwhile, discussion of the Sky Screen erupted across the Douluo Continent with unstoppable momentum.

Everyone was talking about the Sky Screen, from ordinary people to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

In stark contrast to the Douluo Continent, everything inside the Sky Screen appeared remarkably peaceful.

At a glance, practically everyone who possessed Soul Power was cultivating, racing against every second without stopping for even a moment.

Even Huo Yuhao and his companions cultivated desperately, as though something were chasing them from behind.

The most important reason for this scene was that, three days earlier, the Soul Masters inside the Sky Screen had discovered that cultivation in the Sky Screen Space was far faster than on the Douluo Continent.

One day of cultivation inside the Sky Screen could almost equal half a year of cultivation on the Douluo Continent.

No Soul Master could resist such a cultivation speed. Goals that had once been impossibly distant now seemed within arm's reach.

Now, there was only one thought in their hearts: they hoped to stay in the Sky Screen Space for as long as possible.

Time waited for no one. Even as Soul Masters, they always felt they did not have enough time. Now that they could finally catch time by the tail, no one wanted to miss the chance.

Just as everyone was absorbed in cultivation, the Sky Screen's voice rang out in Lin Yang's mind.

[Question setter, please complete question 2.] [Reward: Soul Power increased by 10 levels, one Heaven-Gifted Soul Ring, and the age of all Soul Rings increased by 100,000 years.]
