a Skyhawk Clan creature in half with one bite.Some were even larger, towering several meters high, with hideous, fish-like heads. They lacked limbs but possessed sharp fins... which they used as weapo...Upon seeing Fang Yu appear, the man's face turned cold as he asked, "Who are you"

"I'm just here for a casual stroll," Fang Yu smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this answer, the man narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint appearing in them!

He suddenly raised his right hand and slapped Fang Yu on the head.

Fang Yu reacted quickly, swiftly backing away a step and dodging the palm strike.

"Boom!"

But the power of this palm strike caused a row of trees beside it to collapse instantly!

"You're too aggressive. You went straight for the kill without even saying two sentences." Fang Yu said.

The man stared at Fang Yu, his face showing a hint of surprise.

He was able to easily dodge the palm strike and remained unfazed... From these two points alone, it can be seen that Fang Yu is no ordinary person.

"You're hiding behind me... what purpose" the man asked again.

"I told you, I was just taking a walk. You see, I have this habit of practicing different martial arts techniques while I walk. I just happened to use the Concealment Technique..." Fang Yu made up a lie casually.

The man's face grew even colder, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Fang Yu silently observed him, his eyes flickering slightly.

The more this man released his aura, the more he could sense the aura of the prison demon.

It seems this person is inextricably linked to the ancient demon from the old ruins.

Could it be...he inherited the legacy of the Prison Demon!

Fang Yu recalled when he was forcibly instilled with power by the prison demon... He forcefully broke free from the shackles, causing the inheritance to be interrupted.

After that, he and Su Lengyun were directly driven out of the Abyssal Cave by the powerful force, without time to destroy the Demon Prison Coffin Wood.

And this man clearly knows a lot about ancient ruins, otherwise he wouldn't have come here...

It is speculated that he likely entered the Abyssal Cavern after Fang Yu and obtained the inheritance of the Jail Demon.

However, Fang Yu had no intention of asking about it.

"It's strange that a spring would appear in this small forest," Fang Yu muttered to himself, feigning surprise.

The man's killing intent grew stronger.

At some point, the killing intent suddenly vanished.

Fang Yu raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him.

"Whoosh!"

The man's figure flashed, flying upwards into the air before disappearing quickly from Fang Yu's sight.

"What's going on" Fang Yu stood there, his brow furrowed.

He thought the other party was about to attack.

Unexpectedly, he ran away.

However, since this man knows the time when the ancient relic begins, Fang Yu will inevitably have the possibility of meeting him again.

"Inherited the power of the prison demon...can't be considered human anymore," Fang Yu thought to himself.

Then, Fang Yu observed the clear spring in front of him and turned to leave.

……

At night, the first floor of the bamboo building.

There were four dishes and one soup on the table, all looking delicious.

Fang Yu sat down and looked at Ye Shengxue, who was busy serving the dishes. "You must have put a lot of effort into this meal," he asked.

" Xue Jie only helped me with one-third of it! The rest was all done by me!" Tang Xiaorou said.

"One-third Do you mean helping to lower the seasoning and oil, and then you're responsible for stir-frying" Fang Yu asked.

"Tang Xiaorou's face was flushed red, speechless. "

The fact is, just so.

For every dish, she would just stir it around with a spatula for a few seconds until it was cooked, then take it off the heat.

All the seasoning and such, was all done by Ye Shengxue.

"I can help wash the vegetables…" Zhao Zinan said softly from the side.

"Oh, it seems your one-third is quite different from my understanding." Fang Yu looked at Tang Xiaorou and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"I, I'm just not very skilled yet!" Tang Xiaorou said angrily, "But I put in some effort cooking these dishes! You can't deny that!"

"Come on, eat. Stop fussing," Fang Yu waved his hand and started eating with his head down.

Because Ye Shengxue was in charge of seasoning, the dishes didn't taste too bad.

But the heat was just a little off.

However, Fang Yu didn't say much more. Being able to eat his fill was enough.

After dinner, Tang Xiaorou was about to leave.

"I'll come again tomorrow," Tang Xiaorou whispered to Ye Shengxue and Zhao Zinan, winking at them.

Having said that, he secretly glanced at Fang Yu who was sitting there with his legs crossed, sipping tea.

Seeing that Fang Yu showed no reaction, she stood up and said, "Then I'll be going."

"I'll send you out," Ye Shengxue said.

……

The next morning, a large crowd gathered at the Bureau of Observation.

Having heard that the top spot on the Heavenly Rankings had changed, many people didn't believe it and came to the Sky-Peering Bureau to verify it with their own eyes.

Now, everyone saw the unfamiliar name at the top of the Heaven's List.

Dragon Slayer.

Just as the rumors said, all twenty of the original top talents have dropped one place due to the emergence of Long Slaying.

"It's actually true… This Dragon Slayer, he completely crushed all those prodigies from the sects!"

"Who is this Dragon Slayer!"

“Who cares who he is, you just need to imagine the faces of those sect leaders… Ha ha, I bet they never dreamed that the prodigies of the Eight Great Clans, whom they've always been wary of, wouldn't make much of a fuss, and instead, an unknown person would emerge from nowhere and overshadow their proud sect prodigies…”

Among the crowd, murmurs were constant.

Some people are purely curious, while some from aristocratic families find it incredibly amusing, a way to vent their frustration.

In recent years, the prodigies cultivated by several major sects have consistently held the top few positions on the Heavenly Rankings, suppressing the geniuses of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families.

Thus, insidiously, the landscape of the Beidu martial arts world has undergone some reversal in recent years.

The influence of martial arts families began to decline, while the influence of martial arts sects rose.

This is completely reversed from earlier years.

The esteemed families, of course, could not tolerate such a situation. They poured enormous resources into nurturing the most gifted individual within their ranks, determined to reclaim the top spots on the Heavenly Rankings.

However, the results were minimal.

Even though they constantly consume resources, the proud sons and daughters of noble families find it difficult to break into the top ranks.

After all, these martial arts sects in Beidu recruit disciples from the entire Yanxia region. They have a wide range of choices and can select the most talented young people.

But the choices for martial arts families are much more limited. They can only select from young people within the family, and they must be direct or collateral descendants.

Over time, distance will grow.

Cultivation, one's aptitude trumps all else.

In this case, the effects of cultivation may not be immediately apparent in the early stages, but they become increasingly pronounced as you progress.

No matter how many resources or efforts are put in, it cannot make up for the lack of talent.

In recent years, major families have come to understand this truth.

Now, their sights are set on the next generation, seeking ways to cultivate the next generation of spiritual roots, thus enhancing their innate abilities.

Originally, everyone thought that the days when the sect's prodigies dominated the top few spots on the Heavenly Rankings would last for at least another ten years.

Who would have thought, out of the blue, a change occurred suddenly!

The top spot on the heavenly rankings, was actually taken by a young man named Long Shi!

He suppressed the most talented disciples found by all the major sects throughout the entire Yanxia.

This indicates that Long Shi's talent may be even more astonishing.

……

"How come there are so many people" Fang Yu also came to the Peeking Heavens Bureau. Seeing the densely packed crowd in the square, his brows furrowed.

This morning, Huixu contacted him, asking him to go to the Qi family mansion at noon.

Fang Yu didn't ask any more questions and went out directly.

This time when he went out, he brought along the Void Devourer.

The actual situation was... he was leaving his house when the Void Hound suddenly jumped onto his shoulder.

Having had previous experience, Fang Yu knew that no matter which direction he threw the Void Devouring Beast, it would eventually fly back to his shoulder.

Therefore, Fang Yu didn't struggle anymore and let the Shekong beast stand on his shoulder wagging its tail, treating it like taking a dog for a walk.

Since it was still early, Fang Yu heard the news that the top spot on the Heavenly Rankings had changed hands and went to the Peeking Heaven Bureau to see the commotion.

As a result, I could only stand at the gate and couldn't squeeze any further inside.

Even from afar, Fang Yu could still see the two luminous characters engraved at the very top of the stele representing the Heavenly Ranking.

Dragon Slayer.

To be honest, the first feeling this name gave Fang Yu was extreme flamboyance.

Could anyone really choose that name

"The name on the Heaven's Ranking... could it be a fake" Fang Yu's eyes flickered, he thought to himself.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!'" 。Telling him about the headmaster's situation would only cause trouble for him. 。"I think…there will be more saints coming here to investigate later." 。After all... the powerful light that dispelle...
