[Nine spirit rings surrounded the senior members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Counting Yu Yuanzhen, three Elders, and three other experts who, while not from the main family of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, were tightly bound to it through marriage or other means—there were a total of seven Titled Douluo present.]
[Seven!]
[This number weighed down on everyone so heavily they could barely breathe.]
[Even Qian Xunji, who knew that the Titled Douluo of her own house were superior in both quantity and quality, clenched his fists.]
[Seven Titled Douluo weren't terrifying; what was terrifying was that six of these seven were confirmed to have still been Spirit Douluo just two years ago.]
[But now, they had all become Titled Douluo.]
[Furthermore, these six were the type of Spirit Douluo whose talent had already been exhausted.]
[How did they achieve a Breakthrough?]
[Since such a thing could happen to these people, could it also happen to others?]
[If people whose talent was already exhausted could break through, then would those with extraordinary innate talent reach even higher levels if they used this method?]
[Too many questions swirled in Qian Xunji's mind.]
[He was certain that after today, the Spirit Douluo and Spirit Saints across the Douluo Continent who had been unable to break through for years would all go mad.]
[They would try every possible means to obtain the method of Breakthrough from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Demanding it by force was impossible; the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect did not fear martial coercion.]
[Then there was only one way: join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and contribute to it to earn the chance for a Breakthrough.]
[As long as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect utilized this opportunity well, they could soar to the heavens and completely become a massive colossus.]
[They couldn't match Spirit Hall, but it would be enough for them to become a power second only to Spirit Hall.]
["No, I must find a way to stop this!"]
[When Qian Xunji thought about how she might encounter the obstruction of a rising Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect when leading Spirit Hall to new heights in the future, he decided he had to find a way to nip their momentum in the bud.]
[Qian Xunji could still sit securely thanks to the deep foundations of Spirit Hall.]
[But the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could not.]
[Ning Qianxing looked at the seven bright Titled Douluo on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's side; his face turned pale, his mind reeled, and his body swayed uncontrollably.]
["Father..."]
[Ning Fengzhi leaned in to support his father, wanting to offer a few words of comfort, but the words were stuck in his throat.]
[His previous ominous premonition had come true.]
[The strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect shocked everyone.]
[And at this moment, they were already standing on the opposite side of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[What could be more terrifying in this World than discovering, just as a battle is about to begin, that your opponent was actually pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?]
[For their own power, this was simply like a bolt from the blue.]
[At the front, Zhenshan Douluo looked at the high-ranking members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, who were all Titled Douluo. He thought back to when he had gone to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and sensed Soul Power fluctuations from them like those of low-level Spirit Masters.]
[It turned out they weren't practicing some Sect secret technique; they were hiding their strength.]
[Why, why didn't he think of this back then?]
[At the very least, if he had told Ning Qianxing about these findings, with his intellect, he would have surely noticed something was wrong.]
[But why did he just ignore it?]
[Zhenshan Douluo's face was grim. He roughly understood why he had ignored it—it was the subconscious arrogance of a powerhouse.]
[He had thought they were just a few Spirit Douluo; so what if they had secrets? Weren't they all just fellows whose potential was exhausted and who would never have a chance to become Titled Douluo?]
[But now, each of these fellows was displaying the strength of a Titled Douluo, making Zhenshan Douluo regret his arrogance.]
[Unfortunately, it was all too late.]
[If the greatest negative emotion for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was regret, then for the Clear Sky Sect, their greatest negative emotion right now was fear.]
[Everyone stared with wide eyes and open mouths, looking toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect in a daze.]
[Many Elders even began to rub their eyes and slap themselves.]
[Once they confirmed that all of this was real, the crowd erupted.]
["How is this possible?!"]
["Seven Titled Douluo? What has the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect done to deserve this?!"]
["This, this, what are we going to do? Are we supposed to fight that group of people?"]
["Don't panic, don't panic. We are people of the Clear Sky Sect. No matter how powerful the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is, they wouldn't dare do anything to us."]
["That's right. Although our Old Sect Master isn't here, he's not dead. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect won't dare touch us if they don't want the Old Sect Master coming to their door one day!"]
["But the problem is, the Old Sect Master isn't here to stand up for us right now."]
[The people of the Clear Sky Sect began to chatter all at once.]
[Fear and panic were inevitable, but because they had Tang Chen, the Old Sect Master, as their safety net, they were still able to calm down.]
[After a flurry of discussion, everyone turned their gaze toward the Sect Master at the very front, Tang Zhen.]
["Sect Master, you were the one who led this operation. You have to find a way to resolve this."]
[An Elder said to Tang Zhen.]
[The other Elders immediately nodded upon hearing this.]
[Unfortunately, Tang Zhen could no longer hear the voices of the Clear Sky Sect members.]
[Right now, his eyes were bloodshot and he was breathing like a bull as he stared at Yu Yuanzhen, who stood at the very front of the group with a self-satisfied expression.]
[Why?]
[Why were they peers of the same age, and why were they both Sect Masters of the Upper Three Sects, yet their life experiences were so vastly different?]
[His own conditions were even better than Yu Yuanzhen's; he had a father who was at Rank 99.]
[So why was it this fellow Yu Yuanzhen who was currently triumphant?]
["I refuse to accept this!"]
[Tang Zhen clenched his fists, unaware that his nails were piercing into his flesh.]
[Taking several deep breaths, Tang Zhen forced himself to calm down. He gazed at the group of Titled Douluo beside Yu Yuanzhen, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his breathing became even more rapid.]
["School Master Ning, do you think those people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect who broke through obtained a treasure that increases Soul Power Rank, or a treasure that improves talent?"]
[Tang Zhen looked at Ning Qianxing behind him, whose face was deathly pale.]
["I, I don't know..."]
[Ning Qianxing murmured to himself, his eyes vacant.]
[Seeing Ning Qianxing like this, Tang Zhen cursed inwardly, then quickly walked to Ning Qianxing's side and forced him to snap out of it.]
[Once he was sure Ning Qianxing had come to his senses, Tang Zhen pointed at the group from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect with eyes full of greed and said:]
["School Master Ning, look at that group from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect who broke through. Every one of them was judged to have exhausted their talent."]
["But now they have all broken through."]
["This means the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect possesses a secret medicine that can help people break through. If it just increases Rank, that's one thing, but if it improves talent, that is a treasure comparable to a Spirit Bone!"]
["Are you not tempted?"]
["The opportunity your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has dreamed of—to evolve your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—might just be in the hands of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect right now."]
["Do you really not want to obtain it?"]
