That Hu Yanzhen fellow was truly unlucky — the active skill he had just obtained hadn't even warmed up in his hands before someone else got a passive version of it.
Even if that passive skill's defensive power was slightly lower than an active one, there was no question that a passive skill was far superior.
Niu Gao's defense had already been terrifyingly strong. Even if Hu Yanzhen were five levels higher than him, he still couldn't surpass Niu Gao's defenses.
Now that Niu Gao had the passive defense ability Eternal Dominion, the throne of "Strongest Defense" was without a doubt his to keep.
Far away in the settlement of the Min Clan—
Bai He saw Hu Yanzhen and Niu Gao appear one after another on the list, and his face lit up with joy.
"Hahaha! That old rhino finally gets his moment to shine! He actually beat the Diamond Mammoth Clan — beautiful!
Tomorrow I'll go have a drink with him, and while I'm at it, I'll also ask him to… sigh…"
Bai He let out a heavy sigh — their clan was out of money again.
But within the Min Clan, there were over a hundred mouths to feed.
Even though they occasionally took jobs from outside to earn money, the income was nowhere near enough to cover the clan's expenses.
Every time things reached this point, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and go beg others for help.
Because of this, their Min Clan's circle of friends had dwindled more and more over the years.
Only the three other affiliated powers that once followed the Clear Sky Sect still maintained contact with them, occasionally providing assistance.
While he wore a gloomy expression, far away in the Po Clan, Yang Wudi and in the Li Clan, Titan — both were looking up at the golden list in the sky, silently feeling happy for their brother.
—
In the Pope's Hall.
Bibi Dong leaned against the railing, gazing at the sky and muttering thoughtfully,
"Armored Rhinoceros? That should be the unique martial soul of the Yu Clan that once joined the Clear Sky Sect. To think it could surpass the Diamond Mammoth Clan...
If only I could bring such a clan under the Spirit Hall's banner.
Three expeditions into the Star Dou Forest have already cost Spirit Hall dearly... it seems it's time to recruit some new forces."
—
Ling Yun looked at the list, watching as the remaining names continued to decrease.
He knew that using Yu Tianheng's identity, there was no chance he'd appear on the list. After all, Yu Tianheng's current strength was only around level 25.
No matter how strong the bloodline, it couldn't surpass that of his grandfather Yu Yuanzhen, the clan patriarch.
Besides, with such a weak cultivation, thinking of gaining rewards from the Bloodline Golden List through this body was pure fantasy.
So, his current plan was to use Yu Tianheng's identity to leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and head into the wilderness.
Once there, he would transform into his most powerful form — the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger — to reap the maximum benefit.
Ling Yun estimated that although the Ghost Leopard Douluo had already left the clan grounds, he was definitely still nearby observing.
That man's goal was to hunt down Ling Yun, who had transformed into a Heavenly Snow Mink. Without finding him, he would never truly leave.
But so what if he stayed? If that guy liked watching so much, then let him watch all he wanted.
Ling Yun certainly had no interest in playing hide-and-seek with Ghost Leopard Douluo inside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
From the corridor, Ling Yun walked toward the courtyard — but before he had gone far, he ran straight into Yu Tianheng's mother.
Seeing her son suddenly back home, Yu Tianheng's mother looked completely puzzled.
"Tianheng? Why are you back? Aren't you staying at the academy dormitory? I didn't see you come home during the day."
Ling Yun looked at her and opened his mouth several times, yet no words came out.
Right now, he was disguised as Yu Tianheng. Facing Yu Tianheng's mother, he simply couldn't bring himself to call her "Mother."
After a moment of hesitation, Ling Yun finally replied,
"I just came back to grab something. When I left earlier, I forgot to bring it. I'll be leaving again right away."
Yu Tianheng's mother frowned slightly, looking at him with mild reproach.
"You… you're already in your teens, yet you're still so careless. When your father and I get old, I can't imagine how reckless you'll become."
Ling Yun scratched his head awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
"Since you're back, you should at least go greet your grandfather and your father."
Yu Tianheng's mother said gently, taking Ling Yun by the hand and leading him toward the courtyard.
Oh, come on…
Ling Yun was speechless but could only follow helplessly as she led him deeper inside.
He looked up again toward the golden list in the sky — it had already revealed rank 92.
"Bloodline Golden List, Rank 92: Human — possesses 45% Sharp-tailed Swift bloodline, bloodline strength: medium.Current strongest member: Level 81 Agility-type Soul Douluo.Reward: soul ring year limit +4000 years; special passive soul skill — Agile Wings."
Ling Yun raised an eyebrow — he didn't expect that Bai He guy to make it onto the list a second time.
With his previous reward combined with this one, other than his first two soul rings being purple, the rest were probably all black by now.
After all, the two soul ring duration rewards totaled 9,000 years — 5,000 before and 4,000 this time!
One had to admit, Bai He's luck was outrageously good.
Otherwise, with his talent alone, thinking about reaching ten-thousand-year soul rings from his third ring onward? Impossible.
Being led by Yu Tianheng's mother, Ling Yun entered a large courtyard.
At that moment, Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, the clan elders, and Yu Tianheng's father were all sitting together, watching the golden list.
Yu Tianheng's mother brought him in front of Yu Tianheng's father and said softly, "Dear, Tianheng's back…"
Though her voice was quiet, in the stillness of the courtyard it sounded loud and clear.
Immediately, several pairs of eyes turned toward Ling Yun — especially Yu Yuanzhen's sharp gaze, which made Ling Yun feel uneasy.
After all, he had devoured someone else's grandson, and now he was boldly impersonating that identity right inside their home.
This act was practically identical to when Qian Renxue killed Xue Qinghe and impersonated him.
Only, Ling Yun's disguise was even more perfect — he had inherited all of Yu Tianheng's memories.
If he could get past the psychological hurdle, Ling Yun could completely and flawlessly replace Yu Tianheng and live peacefully in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen stood up from his seat and quickly approached Ling Yun with long strides. His face was kind as he gently patted Ling Yun on the shoulder.
"Tianheng, why did you suddenly come back? Missing your grandfather, perhaps? How's your study at the academy going lately?"
At the same time, Yu Tianheng's father also came over.
"Tianheng, why are you back? Did you run out of money again? Didn't I just send you a thousand gold soul coins a few days ago?"
Hearing his son's words, Yu Yuanzhen immediately looked displeased.
"What's that supposed to mean? My grandson can't come home to visit me now? You got a problem with that?
If you do, get out of here — I'll throw you out of the manor myself!"
"Father, I didn't mean it like that, I was just—"
Yu Tianheng's father tried to explain, but one glare from Yu Yuanzhen made him close his mouth instantly, standing there like a scolded child…
