Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

Northern border defense area.

Xu Liyue killed the insect queen, thus resolving the million-strong insect swarm.

According to regulations, all the city-destroying beast blood obtained by the border defense zone has belonged to her.

But for Xu Liyue, a single drop of essence blood was enough.

She needs different kinds of beast blood; one drop of the same kind of beast blood makes no difference to a hundred drops.

In the end, Xu Liyue only took away a drop of beast blood.

She left the remaining beast blood to the soldiers in the border region.

……

Qinglong Academy.

After returning to school, Xu Liyue began refining the beast blood.

This beast blood, which was of the city-destroying level, was a drop of blue essence blood. When she tried to refine the beast blood, she encountered an unprecedented obstacle.

Above the Longevity Cauldron, blue beast blood floated in mid-air, resisting the cauldron's suction force and refusing to be drawn into it.

"roar!"

From within the beast's blood, a ferocious roar could be faintly heard, and a terrifying pressure swept in all directions.

"As expected of the blood of a city-destroying beast." Xu Liyue frowned slightly, calmly raised her right hand, and gently ran the tip of her index finger across the palm of her left hand.

A drop of pale golden blood immediately dripped down Xu Liyue's palm.

The moment the pale golden blood dripped, it transformed into a golden phoenix phantom and pounced on the roaring beast in the blue blood.

The menacing blue phantom of the beast was torn apart in the blink of an eye, its essence blood powerless to resist, and was absorbed into the Myriad Beasts Cauldron.

In an instant, a powerful aura spread throughout Xu Liyue's body.

Third tier, seventh level.

Third tier, eighth level.

Three tiers and nine levels.

Fourth tier!

When Xu Liyue opened her eyes again, her aura had already soared to the first level of the fourth rank.

[Xu Liyue's cultivation level: Third Rank, Seventh Level → Fourth Rank, First Level]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of 6000 Evolution Points!]

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen's golden vertical pupils.

During this period, Lin Fan's progress was faster than Xu Liyue's, and he had already reached the third tier, ninth level.

I thought Lin Fan would be the first to break through to the fourth rank, but unexpectedly Xu Liyue actually overtook him.

As for Chu Yunfeng and Kong Bowen...

One is at the third level of the third tier, and the other is at the first level of the third tier. They have already created a considerable gap between themselves and the other two.

Hopefully, during this trip to the historical sites, the two of them will find their own destiny.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Su Chen looked at the others:

"The people of the Cherry Blossom Country have reached the edge of the ruins. Let's prepare to depart."

……

Cherry Blossom Country, Cherry Blossom Island.

Deep within a misty mountain on the island, an ancient mountain gate collapsed and was buried among rubble and withered vines.

At the original location of the mountain gate, a twisted white vortex is slowly rotating, emanating an aura completely different from that of Blue Star.

【Ancient Ethnic Relics】

The ancient race is an extremely special race.

In the war of myriad races that invaded Earth, they were one of the few races that never invaded Earth.

Their appearance is almost identical to that of East Asians, with black hair, black eyes, and similar skin color.

It is said that although the ancient people do not have martial spirits, they have mastered an ancient cultivation method that allows them to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

They have always maintained a low profile and remained mysterious, neither allying with nor opposing any power.

Over the past three hundred years, occasionally a few relics of ancient races have appeared on Earth.

The appearance of each ancient clan's ruins inevitably stirs up a huge wave in the martial arts world.

Anyone who can obtain a legacy from the ancient clan's ruins will, without exception, experience a meteoric rise in their cultivation, and their future path in martial arts will be smooth sailing.

Outside the ruins, Takeo Yamada stands with his hands behind his back.

Behind him were four students from the country of cherry blossoms.

These four students are the four strongest members of the Dongdu Martial Arts School in Sakura Country.

All four of them had a well-known nickname in the land of cherry blossoms.

With short black hair, a sword on his back, and a disdainful expression, he is the Sword Saint.

The man with a robust build, solid muscles, arms as thick as bowls, and faint blue-white lightning crackling between his fists is the Fist Saint.

Leaning against a tree, eyes slightly closed, holding a katana in his hand, is the Sword Saint.

The girl sitting under the tree, her jade-like hands playing the zither, with her charming appearance and a heart-shaped beauty mark at the corner of her eye, is the Qin Saint.

"Don't worry, sir. Qinglong Academy is just a strong school at the city level, while Dongdu Martial Arts School is the strongest school in the entire Sakura Country."

"With the four of us here, the Great Xia will surely suffer a crushing defeat in this expedition to the ruins!"

The Sword Saint raised the corners of his mouth, looking smug.

Takeo Yamada narrowed his eyes, about to say something.

Just then, the teleportation array lit up, and several figures emerged from it.

"Principal Yamada, it's nice to see you again!"

Upon seeing Yamada Takeo, Zheng Yuanshan raised his hand in greeting.

It's unbelievable that Yamada Takeo, who made such a huge blunder in front of countless people in Japan, could escape any punishment and continue to represent Japan in meetings with him.

But soon, Zheng Yuanshan frowned slightly.

"Principal Yamada, why does your demeanor seem a little different?"

Su Chen's gaze fell on Yamada Takeo, and a system panel quickly appeared in front of him.

【Takeo Yamada】

【age:???】

【realm:? ? ? 】

[Martial Soul: ???]

[Note: This body has been possessed by a wisp of the Demon Lord's soul; the original body is dead.]

"The Lord of the Demon Realm?"

Su Chen narrowed his golden vertical pupils.

This Takeo Yamada is definitely suspicious.

It seems that not only Amaterasu Martial Arts School, but also Toto University, and even the higher-ups of the entire Sakura Country, are likely to have intricate connections with the Demon World.

At the same time, the Sword Saint, who had been leaning against a large tree with his eyes closed, turned towards the Azure Dragon Academy and said coldly, "Azure Dragon Academy is doomed to defeat."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Saint couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

The Sword Saint was a man of few words and rarely spoke, so it was unexpected that he would suddenly speak.

Even the Sword Saint had to admit that the Blade Saint was undoubtedly the strongest among the four of them.

Although he was blind, he could locate objects by sound and his swordsmanship was superb.

Because the Sword Saint's sword strikes are so fast, no one has ever seen him draw his sword.

It is said that everyone who saw his katana died!

With the Blade Saint's words, the Sword Saint suddenly felt confident, as if victory was already in his grasp!
