Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Like Qian Daoliu, Ning Fengzhi had immediately noticed the Soul Tools in the background around Lin Yi.

The sheer number of Soul Tools of the same type was enough to tell the story.

As the scene changed and Ji Juechen appeared, even before the golden light gathered, the sight of the youth sleeping with a sword in his arms made Ning Fengzhi instinctively turn toward a white-haired elder beside him.

That was Sword Douluo Chen Xin, one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundations.

Chen Xin, too, was gazing at the youth sleeping with his sword, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

The fact that his title was Sword was enough to show his accomplishments in the way of the sword.

Although level 96 would not stand out in later generations, it was already quite extraordinary in this era.

In terms of Soul Power Level, he ranked among the top ten on the continent today.

Seeing a youth so obsessed with the sword that he would not put it down even in his sleep, Chen Xin naturally took notice.

Then golden light appeared, slowly gathering into a description of Ji Juechen.

Chen Xin was even more surprised.

The golden light had taken notice of him, so clearly, this Ji Juechen was no ordinary person.

Ever since the Heavenly Screen began broadcasting, none of the people it had singled out with words formed from golden light had been ordinary.

Perhaps Ji Juechen would achieve something in the future as well.

"A perfectly clear sword heart. What a perfectly clear sword heart," Chen Xin praised.

Once Lin Yi had finished everything, placed the Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron in Ji Juechen's arms, and left Mingdu, the Heavenly Screen's broadcast finally ended.

Yes, the Heavenly Screen had finally stopped broadcasting after all this time.

The image vanished, but the Heavenly Screen still stretched across the ninth heaven, reflected in everyone's field of vision.

No matter where one was or what angle one looked up at the sky from, the image was the same!

The Heavenly Screen had simply stopped broadcasting for now.

It seemed to have entered a period of rest.

"That's it?"

Across the continent, Soul Masters who had been looking forward to what came next were somewhat disappointed.

They had thought it would be an endless livestream, but it turned out there were breaks in between.

As people turned their eyes away from the Heavenly Screen, silence fell over the Soul Master World.

The information they had received this time was far too outrageous and shocking. Everyone needed time to digest it.

Of course, it was also possible that they had not obtained any truly useful techniques from the Heavenly Screen.

There was nothing they needed to test right away.

Shrek Academy.

Flender withdrew his gaze from the Heavenly Screen.

The office door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man stormed in.

"Flender, explain yourself. What did that Yu Xiaogang mean by that?"

Lu Qibin was seething, looking as though he had come to demand an explanation.

Questioned in such a tone by one of the academy's teachers, Flender did not get angry. Instead, he looked helpless.

"Old Lu, calm down first."

Lu Qibin was one of Shrek Academy's teachers. His Martial Soul was Star Luo Chess, and he was a control-type Soul Emperor!

On Douluo Continent, Soul Emperors were not a dime a dozen.

In any city, a Soul Emperor was a person of standing.

In some medium-sized cities, a Soul Emperor could lord it over others. In a small city, with a bit of effort, he might not quite become the local petty emperor, but he would not be far off.

So Flender greatly valued the fact that a Soul Emperor was willing to follow him and work hard at Shrek Academy to pursue this so-called dream.

It was one thing to rely on his Soul Saint cultivation to establish some authority during their usual horseplay, but now that the issue concerned his friend's dignity, Flender could hardly force him to back down. He had to give his old friend an explanation.

Lu Qibin's Martial Soul, Star Luo Chess, was also a Chess Martial Soul.

Early in the Heavenly Screen's broadcast, Yu Xiaogang had sent a bullet comment openly calling Chess Martial Souls Trash Martial Souls.

Now that the broadcast had ended, it was not just Lu Qibin. Across the continent, Soul Masters with Chess Martial Souls had come to their senses and were dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang's remarks.

"Xiaogang was just talking nonsense off the cuff."

"Hmph, he gave reasons and arguments. I'm afraid he really does think that way, doesn't he?" Lu Qibin sneered. "That Yu Xiaogang isn't even a Soul Elder himself, yet he's passing judgment on a dignified Soul Emperor like me."

Flender sighed.

He knew Yu Xiaogang's character, of course.

In Yu Xiaogang's heart, there were probably things he truly looked down on.

His remarks about Chess Martial Souls, for example, showed what Yu Xiaogang thought of certain Martial Souls.

He acknowledged their cultivation potential but denied their usefulness in battle.

As for calling them Trash Martial Souls, Flender understood that too.

He looked at Lu Qibin and offered an explanation.

"Old Lu, there's no need to get angry. It's a flaw of Xiaogang's. Whenever he sees someone else basking in glory, he always instinctively wants to belittle them."

It was a sickness.

Back when Flender and Yu Xiaogang had traveled the continent together, he had often heard Yu Xiaogang secretly speak ill of prominent figures behind their backs.

They were all faults he had picked out of jealousy.

"Hmph, his ambitions are higher than heaven, but his fate is thinner than paper," Lu Qibin sneered.

He cupped his hands toward Flender.

"My tone was too harsh just now."

She still looked displeased, but that was because Yu Xiaogang had angered her.

At least for now, he was not angry with Flender.

Flender shook his head helplessly.

"Xiaogang sent several bullet comments on impulse this time. I'm afraid he's offended quite a few people."

Flender could imagine that once Yu Xiaogang's current address was exposed, all sorts of Soul Masters would likely come knocking.

Of course, that did not necessarily mean Yu Xiaogang's life would be in danger.

Yu Xiaogang had run away from home, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family had never said he had been cast out of the sect, nor had they severed ties with him.

On the contrary, they had always acknowledged him.

With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon standing behind him, who would dare lay a hand on Yu Xiaogang?

Even so, Flender immediately wrote a letter.

In it, he told Yu Xiaogang to come to him. If he really did run into trouble, Flender could at least look after him in some small way.

He also briefly mentioned that they could go find Liu Erlong together. With the Golden Iron Triangle reunited, the three of them could use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill and put up a fight even against a Soul Douluo.

Nuoding City.

Yu Xiaogang came to Dorm Seven to find Tang San.

When he did not find Tang San there, he searched the cafeteria and even made a round of the training grounds, but saw no sign of him.

"Could he have run away?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed slightly.

Just as uncertainty clouded Yu Xiaogang's face, a voice sounded behind him.

"Teacher."

Tang San had appeared behind Yu Xiaogang at some unknown point.

"Xiao San?"

Yu Xiaogang turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tang San.

"This Heavenly Screen keeps adding things about me at random."

Lin Yi turned off the Heavenly Screen's livestream function.

His face darkened somewhat.

The Heavenly Screen had actually labeled the very people he had taken an interest in.

That left Lin Yi somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, certain gaps in information were useful to him.

Especially when it came to Douluo I.

He was already thinking of setting up a chess game in Douluo I, so naturally he needed to make good use of every piece of information that could influence Douluo I from afar.

Yet the Heavenly Screen actually labeled people.

And it did so far more frequently than it had during the prologue.

It seemed that as long as he paid someone a little attention or decided to place a piece, it might trigger the labeling function.

Lin Yi had no choice but to turn off the livestream for now.
