"Oh, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, let me give a brief evaluation…"
Yunxiao muttered softly, pretending to ponder for a moment.
Then, meeting the eager gazes of everyone, he slowly began to speak.
"Since Brother Qinghe has asked, I'll help with a brief evaluation."
With that, Yunxiao began to scan the team with a serious demeanor.
After observing the seven members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team for a few minutes, Yunxiao finally started his evaluation.
First, he commented on Shi Mo, Shi Ge, Oslo, and Yu Feng. Then, it was Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Yu Tianheng's turn.
"Ye Lingling, your Martial Soul is the Nine Heart Begonia."
"But you must be aware of the inherent flaw in the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."
"Your Nine Hearted Begonia Ye Family has both risen and fallen because of the Nine Heart Begonia."
"If your family could resolve the flaw in the Martial Soul…"
"Then, aside from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, your Ye Family would also hold a place among the top auxiliary-type families and sects on the Douluo Continent."
"Resolve the flaw in the Martial Soul…"
Thinking about the flaw in her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, Ye Lingling couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself.
If the flaw in the Martial Soul were so easy to fix, her family wouldn't have exhausted themselves for generations, only to achieve nothing.
Countless ancestors of the Ye Family had spent their entire lives and energy, researching various methods and trying countless possibilities.
Yet, in the end, the flaw in the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul remained.
It was like a mountain of prejudice in people's hearts—no matter how hard the Ye Family tried, it was nearly impossible to move.
Ignoring the now-depressed Ye Lingling, Yunxiao turned his gaze to Dugu Yan.
"Dugu Yan, your Martial Soul is the Jade Scale Serpent, and your grandfather is the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."
"As everyone knows, your Dugu Family uses snake venom as the primary means of attack, and after reaching the pinnacle of poison mastery, your family has become renowned across the world."
"But unfortunately, it seems your poison cultivation hasn't reached its peak, and you've ended up poisoning yourself."
"What? Yanzi, you've been poisoned?"
Hearing that Dugu Yan had been poisoned, Yu Tianheng, who had already been eager to step forward when Ye Lingling was depressed, now felt a surge of joy. He pretended to be extremely worried.
"Yanzi, how are you? Is your body okay?"
"Why don't I take you back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and have my grandfather help detoxify you?"
Yu Tianheng rushed to Dugu Yan's side, his face feigning concern.
This was it, this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. Yu Tianheng was secretly delighted.
If he could take Dugu Yan back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he wouldn't have to worry about not having the chance to solidify their relationship.
By the time Dugu Yan returned to Heaven Dou City from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, she might very well be carrying his child.
Just as he was about to seize the opportunity to get closer to Dugu Yan, the thought of the Dugu Family's infamous mastery of poison made Yu Tianheng's outstretched right hand freeze in place.
However, at that moment, Ye Lingling, who had been depressed just moments ago, suddenly grabbed Dugu Yan's arm, her face filled with concern and anxiety, her eyes brimming with worry.
Yunxiao: "…"
"Xue Qinghe": "…"
Qin Ming: "…"
Yu Tianheng: "..."
Oslo: "..."
Shi Mo: "..."
Shi Ge: "..."
Yu Feng: "..."
Well, the difference was clear.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were true sisters, best friends who genuinely cared for each other.
This only highlighted how Yu Tianheng's feelings for Dugu Yan were nothing more than a worthless plastic vase.
"Ahem, Yanzi, why don't you come back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with me?"
Still unwilling to give up, Yu Tianheng, whose face was as thick as a city wall, spoke while sneaking glances at Dugu Yan's reaction, completely ignoring the looks from everyone else present.
There was no other way—this wasn't about saving face anymore.
If he didn't handle this well now, he would never have another chance to pursue Dugu Yan.
"Hehe, Captain Yu, thank you for your kindness."
"But compared to going to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I'd rather have Ling Ling treat me."
"Besides, when it comes to knowledge about poisons, my grandfather knows far more than anyone in your clan."
Dugu Yan's eyes were cold as she spoke bluntly, her words dripping with disdain for Yu Tianheng.
Though Dugu Yan was poisoned, she wasn't blind.
She knew exactly who truly cared for her and who was sincere.
Did Yu Tianheng really think she hadn't noticed his little reactions earlier?
It was a good thing she hadn't directly accepted his pursuit back then.
Ignoring Yu Tianheng's frozen expression, Yunxiao spoke up.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's just detoxing."
"It's not some life-or-death matter. Why are you all acting like it's a farewell?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying change occurred in Yunxiao's aura.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red.
Once again, the nine eye-catching Soul Rings appeared.
"Elf King Domain, Elf Purification!"
In an instant, a pure and powerful Soul Power spread out from Yunxiao, enveloping the entire space in a soft, life-filled energy.
Under the influence of this Soul Power, the poison in Dugu Yan's body began to rapidly dissolve, as if it had met its natural enemy.
Seeing this, Yunxiao nodded in satisfaction.
After all, the reason he had openly mentioned Dugu Yan's poisoning in front of everyone wasn't to give Yu Tianheng an opportunity.
"This... this... this..."
"What the hell is this? Am I still dreaming?"
"The Elf King's Soul Ring configuration is actually eight black and one red?"
Everyone from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, except for "Xue Qinghe," was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
An eight black and one red Soul Ring configuration—was that even possible for a human?
At this moment, they all realized.
The gap between people could sometimes be worse than that between humans and dogs.
They had all thought they were among the best of their peers, with some fame in the Spirit Master World.
But when they saw that the Elf King's first Soul Ring was a black ten-thousand-year one, their pride was instantly shattered.
Everyone from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team: "..."
After thinking about this, they were all numb.
And then, they all started to feel depressed.
"After evaluating the rest of you, only you remain."
Yunxiao paid no heed to the astonishment of everyone present, his gaze fixed firmly on Yu Tianheng. His eyes carried a mix of malice and amusement, causing Yu Tianheng to feel a chill run down his spine.
Before Yu Tianheng could even open his mouth to ask anything, Yunxiao suddenly bellowed.
"Yu Tianheng, I can tell at a glance that you are definitely not a good person!"
"You, a naturally wicked brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I will…"
