...Meanwhile, at the Touring Dojo...

The crowd of geniuses slowly recovered from their astonishment.

“Tsk tsk, dropping by eight hundred, Qin Nan is done for.”

“I think he must have encountered something serious when he was searching for the Heaven-Shattering treasure.”

“Mm, that explains it. Does he think that the Heaven-Shattering treasure can be retrieved that easily? Keke, in my opinion, it’s better to let all the factions explore together.”

“How unfortunate, to have his ranking drop by over eight hundred when the Monarch Horoscope Contest is commencing.”

“HAHAHA, that’s what he deserves.”

A few discussions took place among the disciples.

Most of them were gloating over Qin Nan’s loss, especially the disciples of the Heaven-Saber Sect, Dark Feather Palace, and Wuji Alliance, who had held a grudge against him for a long time. As such, they were more than willing to see Qin Nan suffer.

On the other hand, some were glad that they would have one less opponent since Qin Nan had lost his cultivation. Secondly, they used to be jealous of Qin Nan as he was able to discover the treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.

Only a few of them felt pity for him.

This was expected in the Martial World. When you were strong, countless people would fawn upon you, but when you were down and out, the people would mock you and trample over you without mercy.

The disciples of the Dragon Emperor Clan, including Hua Dichen, Mu Mu, Ao Dongfang, Hua Jiwudao, Su Qingqing, etc. were shocked and furious hearing the discussions. They were shocked because of the news, and furious because of their attitude toward Qin Nan.

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast felt as if she had lost her hearing. She could no longer hear the voices echoing in the surroundings and the voices transmitted to her by the Martial Monarchs of the other factions, as her heart was crumbling. Why would the man whom she had assumed would astonish the world lose his cultivation?

Those who were familiar with Qin Nan, including Fang Changqing, Dao Qianzhong, and the highly-ranked geniuses on the Monarch Ranking frowned without commenting on the topic.

As for Shi Qingfan and Sorceress Qian Qian, their faces were completely filled with astonishment.

The others might be unaware, but they clearly knew that Qin Nan was referred to as the rare one by the Monarch Ranking, the one and only in the world. Why would his cultivation drop rapidly? That didn’t make any sense.

Only Sage Chen Zilai let out a sigh in his heart, as he uttered a chant of Amitabha in his heart.

It was most likely that Qin Nan had failed the trial, thus causing his cultivation to drop rapidly as the consequence.

“No way! This is impossible! Are you kidding me, who do they think Qin Nan is? They know nothing! Jiang Bilan, Tang Qingshan, do you know the reason? Was Qin Nan just trying to fool them?” The surrounding voices caused Sima Kong to lose his ground as if they were stepping on his tail, causing him to transmit his voice furiously.

“I have no idea.”

Jiang Bilan replied coldly, but Sima Kong could tell that the deathly aura revolving around her had grown slightly thicker.

Tang Qingshan remained silent and expressionless, but a murderous aura lingered around his figure.

“Humph, Qin Nan will surely be here. He won’t have any problem. He will teach these people the true definition of a peerless genius when the Monarch Horoscope Contest takes place!” Sima Kong let out a hollow laugh.

As the disciples reacted in different ways, the noise showed no sign of relenting. For example, Cui Lixu and the others who were Qin Nan’s enemies were enjoying a great laugh among themselves.

If no one had put any attention to Qin Nan’s new ranking in the last change, this time, it had no doubt grabbed everyone’s attention. The only difference was that the others would grab the public’s attention by improving their rankings, whereas it was the complete opposite in Qin Nan’s case.

At that instant, a soft buzz echoed in the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast’s heart.

The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast was startled, who calmed her thoughts and took out her badge to check its contents. With a glance, her face began to wear a blank expression, which continued to be filled with a hint of joy and speechlessness, before clenching her teeth in the end.

Not only was that goddamned Qin Nan perfectly fine, but his cultivation had also improved too. What was she feeling down for just then? She must teach him a great lesson later!

“Senior, they——”

Hua Dichen clenched his teeth as his eyes flickered murderously. He had always been able to control his emotion, and would rarely become infuriated. Furthermore, he also hated Qin Nan, but for some reason, he was extremely angry and had the urge to murder someone now.

“Let’s wait and see their reaction.”

The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast glimpsed at the mocking crowd as she spoke.

Hua Dichen was startled. What did that mean?

A moment later, a great blast took place deep inside the space all of a sudden, causing a rift to shatter as a terrifying beastly aura swept the dojo like a storm.

A giant Skyhowl Wolf dashed out from the gap with a blasting roar, before it headed straight to the people of the Dragon Emperor Clan, followed by a nine-tailed fox and a pitch-black Qilin.

Their enormous figures were like two giant mountains floating in the sky.

The experts and geniuses were astounded.

The eyes of Shi Qingfan, Sorceress Qian Qian, Sage Chen Zilai, Dao Qianzhong, the Faceless Cultivator, and the Sky-Yin Daoist flickered.

“Dragon Emperor Clan!”

“It’s Jiu Jiu and Yang Qi!”

“The top three geniuses of the Dragon Emperor Clan have arrived!”

“Gasp, such a terrifying figure, their cultivations have improved again!”

“Where is the Ancient Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Ao Cangtian? Is he still inside the rift?”

The experts blurted out as their eyes were fixated on the gap.

A few seconds later, a hundred zhang long giant dragon swam out from the rift. Its scales reflected a blinding purple-golden glow together with its pair of crimson eyes and powerful dragon claws, resulting in a large visual impact to the crowd.

The ruler of the dragon tribe, the genius of the Ancient Purple-Golden Battle Dragon tribe, had arrived!

“So we’ve arrived?”

To the crowd’s surprise, a sound was uttered from on top of the giant dragon head, which clearly echoed in everyone’s ears.

The crowd was left dumbfounded.

Ao Cangtian suddenly opened his murderous mouth, and the same with the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Diabolic Qilin beside it, as they accumulated their aura.

The crowd then saw a young man rising up above Ao Cangtian’s dragon head. His hair danced wildly and his long robe flapped to the wind. His left eye emitted a faint purple glow as he slightly lowered his head, gazing down at everyone!

The eyes of the experts and the geniuses instantly widened.

“Everyone...It’s been a while!”

The young man’s lips curled upward.

As soon as he said the words, the Ancient Purple-Golden Battle Dragon, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the Diabolic Qilin unleashed their auras while uttering a blasting roar!

ROAR!

The Heavens and Earth trembled vigorously!

The terrifying aura swept into the surroundings, resulting in a powerful gust of wind that swept in the direction of the authorities and the geniuses like an ocean of anger!

They were the roars of the three beasts.

At the same time, it also served as a declaration!

Prior to the start of the contest, to the crowd that had gathered at the dojo——

It was telling them...that the conqueror was there!
