Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Ruoxie turned his head and saw two figures appear before him.

One of them was in a white dress, and it was indeed Xueyao, whom he had met once when he first entered the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Xueyao was one of the four great beauties of the Celestial Sword Sect, with an absolutely beautiful face. However, she exuded a cold aura, giving off an unapproachable feeling.

At this moment, Xueyao looked like an immortal fairy in the snow, resembling an ice lotus on a mountain, noble and pure.

Beside Xueyao was a young man in a black robe, about twenty-five or six years old, who was extremely handsome and was looking at Wang Ruoxie with a cold and unfriendly gaze.

Wang Ruoxie naturally discerned these two people's cultivation realms at a glance, but he did not expect that in just half a year, Xueyao's cultivation had not only reached the Innate Realm but had also reached the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm, just like him.

Obviously, in this past half year, Xueyao must have encountered a great opportunity.

As for the young man in the black robe, he possessed the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, and from the aura emanating from him, it seemed that his power within the same realm was at the pinnacle, perhaps even reaching the level of half-step Meridian Passage Realm.

"Senior Sister Xueyao, why are you here?"

Wang Ruoxie smiled at Xueyao and asked.

"Senior Brother Ling Yu and I planned to travel to the Fire Cloud Kingdom, so we came here to take the flying warship. I didn't expect to meet you here, Junior Brother Ruoxie."

Xueyao looked at Wang Ruoxie with a hint of surprise and said, "What surprised me more is that in just over half a year, you've already reached the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm."

As she said this, she suddenly recalled the scene in the Dragon Transformation Pool that day, and a slight blush appeared on her face.

Beside her, Ling Yu naturally noticed Xueyao's current abnormality, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. When he looked at Wang Ruoxie, there was a hint of killing intent.

"Senior Sister Xueyao's improvement is no less than mine."

Wang Ruoxie smiled and replied.

"A few months ago, I went to the West Qian Kingdom to train and, by chance, discovered an ancient ruin where I obtained the legacy of an Essence Pill Realm expert. That's how I achieved my current cultivation."

Xueyao smiled slightly and said.

"I didn't expect Senior Sister Xueyao to have such an opportunity."

Wang Ruoxie chuckled and said.

"I've heard that you, Junior Sister Xiao Ningyue, Junior Brother Zong Yuzhe, and seven other geniuses of the Hidden Dragon List went to the ancient ruins of Moon Burial Valley. You must have also obtained the legacy of an Essence Pill Realm expert there, right?"

Xueyao's gaze turned to Wang Ruoxie and spoke again.

In her opinion, for Wang Ruoxie to possess the same cultivation realm as hers, he must have also received the legacy of an Essence Pill Realm expert. Otherwise, no matter how extraordinary Wang Ruoxie's aptitude was, he couldn't have achieved such great improvement in just over half a year.

"Sort of."

Wang Ruoxie nodded and replied.

The legacy of an Essence Pill Realm expert meant nothing to him; all he needed were treasure resources.

"With your current cultivation power, the next top spot on the Hidden Dragon List will undoubtedly belong to you."

Xueyao said to Wang Ruoxie.

Upon hearing Xueyao's words, Wang Ruoxie remained indifferent. Although he had already reached the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm, he was only seventeen years old this year and could still participate in the next Hidden Dragon Assembly.

In fact, if he wanted, he could participate in the Hidden Dragon Assembly for the next few years.

With his current cultivation power, there is no doubt that he could easily secure the first place every time.

However, if he were to participate, it would be like bullying the weak; besides, the rewards of the Hidden Dragon Assembly no longer have any appeal to him.

"The Hidden Dragon List is nothing more than a joke made by some ridiculous people to deceive themselves. Even the so-called top of the Hidden Dragon List isn't a true genius."

At this moment, Ling Yu suddenly sneered and spoke.

"Is that so? Then what do you consider to be a true genius?"

Wang Ruoxie replied, with a faint smile, towards Ling Yu.

"The Great Yu Imperial Dynasty has the Myriad Dragons List, which lists the ten thousand most outstanding young talents from the Five Domains of Yun Province. Everyone eligible to be on the Myriad Dragons List is a top-notch genius, a dragon among men."

Ling Yu looked at Wang Ruoxie with disdain and said, "Perhaps your aptitude is considered genius in your East Victory Kingdom or Eastern Domain, but in the entire Five Domains of Yun Province, you're only moderately exceptional, not even qualified to be on the Myriad Dragons List."

"So, are you on the Myriad Dragons List?"

Wang Ruoxie glanced at Ling Yu and said calmly.

"Brother Ling Yu is the fifth young master of the Ling Family, a marquis clan of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, ranked nine thousand three hundred and seventy on the Myriad Dragons List. Both in aptitude and in power, he's a true peerless genius."

Xueyao looked at Ling Yu with a slight smile and said, "If it weren't for Brother Ling Yu's help, I wouldn't have been able to obtain that Essence Pill Realm expert's legacy or even leave that ancient ruin alive."

Hearing Xueyao's words, a proud expression appeared on Ling Yu's face.

Wang Ruoxie's expression remained extremely calm. No matter how excellent Ling Yu's aptitude or how illustrious his background was, it had no impact on him.

Although he knew that the entire Five Domains of Yun Province had over a hundred kingdoms and over ten trillion people, being on the Myriad Dragons List, even at a very low rank, still marked one as a prodigious genius, but he truly didn't understand the source of this guy's sense of superiority.

If it were him, with the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, he wouldn't claim he could enter the top hundred, but certainly within the top thousand.

Moreover, if one truly speaks of identity, his past life as a Celestial Prince was not something that a mere marquis' son of an imperial dynasty could compare to, or even had the qualification to meet him.

As for martial art aptitude, possessing the Blood God Essence Blood allowed him to directly devour essence blood and bloodlines to enhance his cultivation and continuously evolve and upgrade his bloodline. Given enough time, he could easily trample over these so-called geniuses.

"It's not that I look down on you, but in weak kingdoms like your East Victory Kingdom, it's impossible to give birth to a true genius."

Ling Yu looked at Wang Ruoxie with an arrogant expression and said.

Hearing Ling Yu's words, Xueyao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything, just the faint smile in her eyes gradually faded.

As for Wang Ruoxie, he wasn't affected in the slightest, as if he hadn't heard anything.

He had encountered far too many arrogant and privileged noble scions like Ling Yu, and if not for Xueyao, he wouldn't even bother with the other party.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, why don't you join us on our journey to the Fire Cloud Kingdom?"

Xueyao wished to change the subject and said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Sounds good."

Wang Ruoxie nodded and agreed.

Originally, he planned to travel to various kingdoms, so traveling with Xueyao and Ling Yu wasn't without its merits.
