[The evaluation of the Clear Sky Sect that Bibi Dong relayed from Qian Xunji was also the general consensus shared by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.]
[Putting Tang Chen aside, the Clear Sky Sect was undoubtedly the weakest among the Upper Three Sects.]
[The sect possessed only a single Titled Douluo who had once traveled across the Douluo Continent.]
[Back then, that individual had been thoroughly beaten by a group of peers who were all top-tier experts.]
[It was a perfect example of the advantages that came with having a powerful background.]
[After being defeated repeatedly by his peers, that man had developed an extremely fragile temperament, becoming easily offended and prone to taking things personally.]
[As a result, despite both being leaders of the Upper Three Sects, Yu Yuanzhen had never thought particularly highly of him.]
---
["As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..."]
[At the mention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Bibi Dong frowned slightly.]
["According to my teacher, they are masters at reading situations and aligning themselves with powerful forces."]
["They excel at recruiting talented individuals and offering favors to promising geniuses."]
["That is precisely why they are the most unremarkable."]
["Whenever a rising force becomes impossible to stop, they naturally attach themselves to it—just like their martial spirit serves as the perfect support."]
[Yu Yuanzhen nodded.]
[It was a surprisingly fair assessment.]
---
["Finally, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect..."]
[At this point, Bibi Dong cautiously glanced at Yu Yuanzhen before gritting her teeth and repeating her teacher's evaluation.]
["The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has neither outstanding strengths nor obvious weaknesses."]
["In short, it is simply mediocre."]
["The sect possesses one reasonably powerful Titled Douluo, along with several Spirit Douluos and Spirit Saints."]
["That is enough to maintain its status as one of the Upper Three Sects, but nothing more."]
["Given the current situation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, if the Sect Master were to disappear one day—just as Clear Sky Douluo did—the remaining members would eventually be kicked around like stray dogs by some newly risen force."]
---
[After finishing Qian Xunji's evaluation, Bibi Dong obediently fell silent and stood to the side.]
[An Upper Three Sect being described as mediocre was naturally insulting.]
[Of course, the person making that judgment was the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall.]
[He possessed both the qualifications and the confidence to make such a statement.]
[Even so, the words were undeniably infuriating.]
[Only after repeating everything did Bibi Dong realize she had quoted her teacher word for word without softening anything.]
[If Qian Xunji found out, she would undoubtedly receive a lecture later.]
---
[As expected, Yu Yuanzhen was indeed annoyed.]
[However, despite his irritation, he had to admit that Qian Xunji's assessment had once been completely accurate.]
[Compared to the Clear Sky Sect, which had produced the legendary Tang Chen...]
[And compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, known for its political influence, commercial expertise, and unmatched support capabilities...]
[The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect did appear somewhat ordinary.]
[If Yu Yuanzhen had heard such an evaluation in the past, he would have exploded in anger and immediately denounced Qian Xunji.]
[But now, things were different.]
[Besides feeling annoyed, he also felt a growing sense of anticipation.]
---
[The discovery of Whale Glue had dramatically raised the sect's future potential.]
[Spirit Masters who would have originally peaked as Spirit Saints now had a chance to become Spirit Douluos.]
[Those who would have stopped at Spirit Douluo now possessed the possibility of reaching the Titled Douluo realm.]
[Given enough time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect might even achieve the unprecedented feat of producing multiple Titled Douluos.]
[Across the entire Douluo Continent, only Spirit Hall currently possessed such strength.]
---
[And then there was Yu Xiaogang.]
[His future potential was practically limitless.]
[Tang Chen, the legendary powerhouse who had led the rise of the Clear Sky Sect and earned the title of the strongest man on the continent, had become a figure studied by countless factions.]
[Naturally, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect also possessed extensive records regarding Tang Chen's growth.]
[By studying those records, Yu Yuanzhen had gained a clear understanding of Tang Chen's extraordinary talent.]
[There was no doubt he deserved his legendary reputation.]
[However, while examining Tang Chen's achievements before reaching the Spirit Ancestor realm, Yu Yuanzhen discovered something that thrilled him beyond measure.]
[The Tang Chen of that era was not as outstanding as his own son.]
[Of course, he was referring to Yu Xiaogang's true abilities—not merely the portion he currently revealed to the world.]
[If Tang Chen had displayed everything he possessed back then, and Yu Xiaogang still surpassed him, what did that mean?]
[It meant his son possessed the potential to become a figure on the same level as Tang Chen—or perhaps even greater.]
---
[That was why Yu Yuanzhen wasn't truly furious after hearing Qian Xunji's evaluation.]
[Because his son was still growing.]
[His talents remained hidden beneath the surface.]
[The day Yu Xiaogang fully matured would be the day he astonished the entire continent.]
---
[Looking at Bibi Dong standing nearby with her head lowered and her neck slightly tucked in, Yu Yuanzhen secretly smiled.]
["There's no need to be so nervous."]
["Although your teacher's evaluation is somewhat irritating, it isn't entirely wrong."]
["Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has indeed been rather ordinary."]
["Sigh..."]
["Such is the limitation of a family-based sect."]
[Yu Yuanzhen sighed deeply and deliberately put on a depressed expression.]
[Of course, that was assuming one ignored the corner of his mouth that was desperately trying not to curl upward.]
---
[Seeing his seemingly dejected appearance, Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel sympathetic.]
["Your Eminence Thunder..."]
["Please don't be too upset."]
["I believe Yu Xiaogang will definitely become the pillar of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect in the future."]
["When that day comes, you'll be able to relax."]
[Her sincere attempt at comfort made the scene somewhat amusing.]
[After all, it was a Spirit Elder comforting a Titled Douluo.]
---
["Don't worry."]
["I'm not so fragile that I'd be heartbroken over something like this."]
[Yu Yuanzhen waved dismissively.]
[Then he looked Bibi Dong up and down with a rather strange expression.]
[This future Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall seemed surprisingly easy to fool.]
[Not only had she believed his acting without question, but she was now genuinely trying to comfort him.]
[Thinking about it carefully, wasn't this exactly how that brat Yu Xiaogang had probably won her over as well?]
[Yu Yuanzhen silently decided that he would interrogate his son later about how the two of them had met.]
[If Bibi Dong truly was this easy to deceive...]
[Then in the future, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect absolutely had to support her rise to become the next Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall.]
[After all, being easy to manipulate was hardly a desirable quality for the leader of a major power.]
---
[Just as Yu Yuanzhen was imagining the future consequences of someone like Bibi Dong inheriting Spirit Hall...]
[A voice suddenly echoed from deep within the cave.]
[It was Yu Xiaogang.]
["You can come in now!"]
["There's no danger inside!"]
