Chapter 19 Xiao Wu has given up on Tang San; the ambiguous relationship between the Ice and Snow Emperors!
Yu Xiaogang finished speaking.
Flanders frowned, his fingertips tracing his chin:
"Master is right. Soul beasts should only live for a maximum of 100,100 years. How could there be a soul beast with such an advanced lifespan? Could there really be something wrong with this sky canopy?"
Dai Mubai, who was already resentful of being ranked lower in Xingluo and was holding back his anger, immediately chimed in upon hearing this:
"Is there even a need to doubt it? This sky screen is just a fabricated, garbage ranking list!"
Ma Hongjun and Zhao Wuji both found it strange when they heard this.
Seeing that everyone finally accepted him, Yu Xiaogang felt extremely relieved and smugly cursed:
"This ridiculous unofficial ranking is really something else! If you're so capable, make up another 990,000-year-old soul beast for me to see!"
Xiao Wu, who had overheard his absurd reasoning not far away, could no longer contain herself and stepped forward to angrily rebuke him:
"This 'master,' may I ask how you came up with this twisted logic? What makes you so certain that soul beasts can only live for a maximum of 100,100 years?!"
Yu Xiaogang was still angry that she had publicly refuted his lack of understanding of "deities" last time.
Now that she had refuted him in public, Yu Xiaogang could not stand it and was about to speak with a cold snort.
But before he could speak, Xiao Wu interrupted him:
"This 'master,' if you think you're right, please provide actual data to prove yourself! If you don't, then shut up and stop misleading others!"
Yu Xiaogang was speechless when asked the question.
"Actual...actual data..."
Yu Xiaogang's face went from flushed red to ashen.
It seems he... really can't produce any concrete data...
Ma Hongjun pursed his lips and whispered to Zhao Wuji:
"Master Zhao Wuji, why is the master's face as red as a pig's? Could he really be talking nonsense?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yu Xiaogang.
Upon reflection, Yu Xiaogang was questioned several times by the three female students, but he never once provided concrete evidence to prove his innocence...
"Enough!"
Suddenly, Tang San's shout broke the silence.
Remembering the lessons Yu Xiaogang and the others had taught him, he reprimanded Xiao Wu sternly without any mercy:
"Xiao Wu! Who do you think you are, daring to question a master? Go cool off somewhere else and get out of my way!"
Xiao Wu was deeply stung by her words, and her eyes involuntarily reddened, but she quickly gritted her teeth and endured it, angrily saying:
"Tang San, you really are a hypocrite! All the kindness you showed me before was just an act! From now on, I am no longer your sister. Once the Heavenly Curtain is lifted, I will drop out of Shrek Academy and leave!"
After saying that, Xiao Wu turned around and walked quickly to Zhu Zhuqing's side without looking back.
Tang San stared at Xiao Wu's retreating figure, his body jolted, and he subconsciously looked at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes filled with a hint of panic.
He had just been following the "way of a man" that Yu Xiaogang had taught him, but seeing Xiao Wu's appearance, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly and waved his hand:
"You did a great job, mistress. That's how you treat women. Don't bother with her. I guarantee she was just saying that out of anger. She's not going to drop out of school. Just wait and see."
Upon hearing his teacher's words, Tang San's unease vanished instantly, and he firmly believed that the master's words were the truth.
Then, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze back to the sky, his eyes filled with resentment, and muttered to himself:
"I refuse to believe that this fabricated record can be so perfectly convincing. I'm determined to find a real flaw, a flaw that everyone can agree on, to prove that this is a fake ranking!"
Dai Mubai, who had always been dissatisfied with the heavens, shared the same thought and stared intently at the golden sky above.
After Xiao Wu returned to Zhu Zhuqing's side, her gaze quietly drifted towards Tang San.
What she just said was really just said in anger, to test whether Tang San still cared about her at all.
But seeing that Tang San remained unmoved, she completely lost all feelings for him and made up her mind to leave!
Zhu Zhuqing saw the determination in Xiao Wu's eyes and couldn't help but wonder where she would go if she dropped out of school.
Will they, like me, also search for a suitable faction to join on the power rankings?
...
The far north.
"We're only eighth in the far north?!"
Hyotei gazed at the sky and suddenly raised his voice in surprise.
Her previous confident assertion of being in the top five now seemed like a joke.
"How could that be? There are only a handful of forces that can rival our far north."
Xue Di also stood there stunned, her usually cold voice carrying a hint of bewilderment.
"Damn it, I'll tear down this lousy canopy!"
The Ice Emperor's aura suddenly surged, but was interrupted by the Snow Emperor's exclamation:
"Bing'er, quickly look at Tianmu's evaluation. Our far north still has the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mysterious Ice Cave!"
Upon hearing this, Hyotei curled his lip:
"What? Wasn't it absorbed by that bastard Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and then mysteriously disappeared?"
As he spoke, Hyotei casually glanced at the comments again and exclaimed in surprise:
"Ah! The Heavenly Curtain's assessment mentioned two ten-thousand-year-old ice caves? Besides the one that was consumed by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, there's still one left!"
This news was like sunshine after rain, filling the hearts of the two Ice and Snow Emperors with excitement.
Hyotei hugged Yuki-tei tightly, exclaiming with joy and excitement:
"That's great, Xue'er! Although we're not satisfied with the ranking, at least we have this good news!"
The mystical power of the Mysterious Ice Cave is beyond words; the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm used it to reach a million years of age!
If it falls into their hands, they can naturally use it to double or even triple their strength!
"Boom—!"
Just as the two were rejoicing, a golden beam of light descended from the sky, deflecting the Ice Emperor's embrace of the Snow Emperor.
"Ah, what's going on... this is a divine reward?!"
Ice Emperor steadied herself and looked over, only to see Snow Emperor's cultivation level rapidly increasing, from 680,000 years to 690,000 years...
In just a few breaths, nearly 700,000 years had passed, followed by the celestial phenomenon of tribulation, with rolling thunder resounding throughout:
"Boom—!"
Hyotei was startled and quickly reminded him:
"Xue'er, quickly eat that Tribulation-Crossing Pill that was also a reward. Judging from the name, it should be for crossing tribulations!"
Knowing the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Snow Emperor dared not delay and swallowed the Tribulation-Crossing Pill that had been awarded to her.
As the Tribulation-Crossing Pill was consumed, the unusual phenomena in the sky dissipated, and the Snow Emperor's cultivation continued to rise.
Ultimately, thanks to the reward of 30,000 years of cultivation, she soared from 680,000 years to 710,000 years!
The surrounding ice mist churned violently due to this breakthrough aura, and the Snow Empress's temperament became even more aloof and noble, faintly displaying the majesty of an ancient ice god!
"So...so strong..."
Hyotei felt this terrifying aura and stared blankly at Yuki-tei.
Xue Di regained her senses, darted forward, and whispered in her ear:
"Don't be surprised, you'll get a share too."
Before she finished speaking, she handed the '40,000-year cultivation pill', which represented the reward for repeated replacement, to the Ice Emperor.
"Wow, Xue'er, you're so kind!"
Hyotei happily accepted it, but then handed it back, saying disappointedly:
"But... without the Tribulation-Crossing Pill, if I take it now after 380,000 years, wouldn't I have to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation? I'd rather not take it."
Xue Di handed it back to her, patted her head, and smiled gently:
"Take it for now. You might get Tribulation-Crossing Pills from other rankings later. I told you you'd get a share of the rewards."
Hearing this, Hyotei hugged her, touched, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Xue'er, you're so good to me, I love you to death."
Meanwhile, 'Titan Snow Demon King Atai' and 'Ice Bear King Xiaobai' were drawn over by the huge commotion.
Just then, I witnessed this ambiguous scene...
"?"
What's going on?
...
Chang'an City.
Shangguan Wan'er gazed at the sky suspended in mid-air and asked with some anticipation:
"Lord City Lord, more than half of the power rankings have been released. There are seven spots left. Which powers do you think will make the list?"
