At this moment, in the VIP seating area!

Many elders stared at the blood jade in Lu Ren's palm, and they all recognized it as the Tuoshe Blood Jade.

For many people with low bloodline talent, this Tuoshe Blood Jade was their hope for rising.

As long as one obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, it was highly possible to change their own bloodline talent.

Especially for some prominent families in Jiangyun Kingdom, they would spare no expense to purchase a Tuoshe Blood Jade for their disciples to improve their bloodline talent.

It could be said that every piece of Tuoshe Blood Jade was exceptionally precious, available only in name but not in supply.

To think that Lu Ren actually had a Tuoshe Blood Jade on him.

"You used the Tuoshe Blood Jade to block me just to win?"

Chu Feiyang felt that Lu Ren had gone mad. That was the Tuoshe Blood Jade; once it was shattered, he wouldn't be able to enter the Tuoshe Cave Mansion.

"My goal is to win against you and bring glory to my master. What is a mere Tuoshe Blood Jade compared to that?"

Lu Ren sneered and pressed forward, unleashing his perfected Fierce Tiger Fist, his fists smashing wildly at Chu Feiyang.

Puff puff!

Chu Feiyang kept blocking, but the injuries on his body worsened rapidly. Finally, he could no longer resist and his entire body fell off the stage, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

The entire plaza fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a massive roar.

"Lu Ren won! Our Qingyun Sect actually won this exchange match!"

"Hahaha, after three years, we finally won!"

Many disciples were extremely excited. Who would have thought that Lu Ren, who was initially considered the weakest, would actually defeat the Ghost Sword Successor?

However, Chu Feiyang got up and said somewhat indignantly, "I'm not convinced! This battle was unfair!"

As the dignified Ghost Sword Successor, if he lost to someone with a Scrap Bloodline, how would he have any face left to stay in the Imperial Dao Sect?

"If you lost, you lost. What's unfair about it?"

Lu Ren sneered.

"I was injured by the power of the Tuoshe Blood Jade. You are not my opponent at all!"

Chu Feiyang said angrily.

"There's no rule against using the Tuoshe Blood Jade in an exchange match, is there? Winning is the only thing that matters!"

Lu Ren said with a smile.

"You..."

Chu Feiyang was about to lash out when he was stopped by Elder Xie Kuang. He could only glare at Lu Ren with resentment, his face full of defiance.

The presiding elder also snapped out of his shock and said with a smile, "I now announce that the Qingyun Sect has won this exchange match!"

At that moment, the entire venue erupted in cheers, and all the disciples were incredibly excited.

Three years!

Their Qingyun Sect had never won even once at the newcomer exchange gatherings. Now, they had finally won, and they had defeated the Ghost Sword Successor at that.

Elder Xie Kuang's face turned ashen. He said to the Grand Elder, "Elder Meng, your sect's Lu Ren cultivated three low-grade Human-tier martial arts to perfection in just two months, and even learned two sword techniques. With such talent, I don't believe he has a Scrap Bloodline!"

It was impossible for someone with a Scrap Bloodline to achieve this. Even if Yun Qingyao had some special methods, she couldn't possibly cultivate a Scrap Bloodline to such a powerful extent.

If he were truly that strong, then the geniuses with Fifth-grade Bloodlines and Sixth-grade Bloodlines might as well stop cultivating and just hit their heads against a wall.

Therefore, he refused to believe that Lu Ren had a Scrap Bloodline. He would rather believe that Lu Ren truly possessed a Divine Bloodline, so that their Imperial Dao Sect wouldn't lose face by losing to someone of such caliber.

Of course, in his opinion, Lu Ren's bloodline was at most seventh or eighth grade; it couldn't possibly be a Divine Bloodline.

"Lu Ren naturally cannot have a Scrap Bloodline. The initial detection must have been mistaken. He very likely possesses a Divine Bloodline!"

The Grand Elder nodded, saying with great certainty.

"Then why not test him again!"

Elder Xie Kuang said.

The Grand Elder instructed the elder beside him, "Quickly go and retrieve the True Dragon Compass!"

"Yes!"

The two elders behind him immediately left.

At this time, Lu Ren returned to Yun Qingyao's side and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what is the True Dragon Compass?"

"The True Dragon Compass is the treasure that protects our Qingyun Sect's mountain. Besides its power to defend against enemies, this treasure can also accurately detect a martial artist's bloodline," Yun Qingyao replied.

"How accurate is it?"

Lu Ren continued to ask.

Only he knew how useless his bloodline truly was. The more accurate the treasure for detection, the more it would expose how useless he was.

He had previously participated in the assessment of a small sect, where he was detected as having a First-grade Bloodline, but upon arriving at the Qingyun Sect, he was detected as having a Scrap Bloodline.

He worried that the True Dragon Compass would further expose his Scrap Bloodline.

"The True Dragon Compass seals one hundred and ten dragon souls. If it's a First-grade Bloodline, it will summon between ten and nineteen dragon souls. If it's a Second-grade Bloodline, it will summon between twenty and twenty dragon souls, and so on. If it's a Divine Bloodline, it will summon between one hundred and one hundred and ten dragon souls. The more dragon souls, the stronger the bloodline!"

Yun Qingyao said.

Before long, two elders returned, bringing another elder with them.

This elder seemed to have high seniority; even the Grand Elder Meng Qian stood up and bowed to him.

The elder lowered his eyelids and waved his arm. A ring on his finger flashed with fluorescence.

Immediately, a golden compass, three feet in diameter, floated in mid-air.

The golden compass was carved with over a hundred true dragons, each exuding majestic power.

Seeing the golden compass, the disciples erupted in cheers.

"This is the True Dragon Compass, the treasure of our Qingyun Sect!"

"With the True Dragon Compass, no sect within the Eastern Profound Domain dares to attack us!"

Many disciples showed pride on their faces.

Listening to the discussions of his senior brothers and sisters, Lu Ren asked, "Master, is this True Dragon Compass that powerful?"

He had diligently studied the Disciples' Rules and knew that the Eastern Profound Domain contained seventy-two kingdoms and over a thousand large and small sects.

However, the Qingyun Sect was only a second-rate sect, and even a weaker one at that. Among the four major sects of the Jiangyun Kingdom, the Imperial Dao Sect, Lihuo Sect, and Iron Sword Sect were considered stronger second-rate sects.

The criterion for judging whether a sect was first-rate was whether it had any Heavenly Gang Realm experts.

The four major sects of the Jiangyun Kingdom had many Divine Sea Realm experts, but not a single Heavenly Gang Realm expert.

If a first-rate sect were to attack a second-rate sect, the latter should not be able to resist.

"Once activated, the True Dragon Compass can eliminate Heavenly Gang Realm experts!"

Yun Qingyao said calmly.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ren was greatly astonished.

Wasn't this True Dragon Compass equivalent to a nuclear bomb?

"If our Qingyun Sect can cultivate a Heavenly Gang Realm expert and refine the True Dragon Compass, our Qingyun Sect can become a first-rate sect!" Yun Qingyao said. "Lu Ren, if you truly possess a Divine Bloodline, you will definitely be able to advance to the Heavenly Gang Realm. Go, get tested again!"

"Okay!"

Lu Ren nodded and approached the True Dragon Compass.

The elder glanced at Lu Ren and said, "Place your palm on the True Dragon Compass and relax your body."

"Yes, Elder!"

Lu Ren placed his palm on the True Dragon Compass.

At that moment, everyone held their breath.

Especially the Grand Elder and others, their hearts began to race. If Lu Ren truly possessed a Divine Bloodline, their Qingyun Sect's rise to a first-rate sect would surely be within reach.

In contrast, Elder Xie Kuang of the Imperial Dao Sect felt conflicted; he both hoped Lu Ren had a Divine Bloodline and didn't.

Ideally, a seventh or eighth-grade bloodline would be more acceptable!

Vroom!

Just then, the True Dragon Compass began to hum!

Everyone stared intently at the True Dragon Compass.
