"Senior, with your strength, your Clan should be famous on the Continent, so why have we never heard of it?" Grandmaster asked inexplicably.

"You may not know of our existence, but that does not mean we do not exist. The waters of this world are much deeper than you think. The Netherworld God Tiger Clan is one of the Eight Ancient Clans. It has lasted for tens of thousands of years and has a long history and an even longer inheritance. Though we rarely appear in this world, causing us to be unknown among secular Spirit Masters." Chen Feng said solemnly. ​​

"Eight Ancient Clans?" Grandmaster frowned.

"The Eight Ancient clans are Eight Hidden Clans; the strength of each Clan is beyond your imagination. To put it bluntly, of the forces on the entire Continent, only the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Clan can make us pay a little attention, the rest are nothing." Chen Feng continued to add to his story.

"Senior… that is not possible." Grandmaster said unconvinced. Although he was abandoned by one of the Upper Powers, he did not allow anyone to insult his Clan.

"The Lower Four Powers do not even have a Titled Douluo, of the Upper Three Powers, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is supported by Yu Yuanzhen, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has only two old fellows, Chen Xin and Gu Rong, such Clans, this old man can destroy them on his own." Chen Feng said domineeringly. Although he was pretending and showing off right now, he did possess the strength to do this.

"The Clear Sky Clan has two Titled Douluo who are stronger than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Since Senior dares to say that he can destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan on his own, then why does senior attach value to the Clear Sky Clan?" Ning Rongrong was also puzzled.

"Haha, what two Titled Douluo. That was more than 10 years ago. Apart from the two brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, all the five Elders have also promoted to Title Douluo, and the Clear Sky Clan still has Rank 99 Limit Douluo, Tang Chen." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Who is Tang Chen?" Ning Rongrong asked, she had never heard of a person from the Clear Sky Clan called Tang Chen.

"Tang Chen is Tang Hao's grandfather, he is the previous Clear Sky Douluo." Chen Feng answered.

"Doesn't that make him Tang San's grandfather as well?" Oscar looked at Tang San while the others nodded.

"I haven't even figured out what happened to my father let alone my grandfather." Tang San smiled bitterly, he had too many questions in his mind that he needed to ask Tang Hao.

"If the Clear Sky Clan is so strong, why have they not returned from seclusion?" Grandmaster frowned.

"Naturally, it is because they fear the Spirit Hall. There are 7 Priest Elders in the Spirit Hall, the strongest among them, Qian Daoliu is a Rank 99 Limit Douluo, while the second strongest Priest Elder is the Golden Crocodile Douluo with a Spirit Rank of 98. The remaining Priest Elders have a minimum strength of Rank 96, the total number of Titled Douluo's that the Spirit Hall controls exceeds 20." Chen Feng said.

"Besides, the Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong can be said to be a stunning and brilliant figure with Twin Spirits, she became a Titled Douluo in her 30's, currently, her Spirit Power has reached Rank 99."

"No. It is said that the total number of Title Douluo on the Continent does not exceed 10, how come there are so many Titled Douluo's now?" Oscar asked, he suddenly felt that this world had become strange and unfamiliar to him.

"Senior, are all these things you said true?" Flender swallowed unconsciously.

"Do you think this old man must lie to you? If it were not for Xiao Feng, this old man would not even bother to tell you so much." Chen Feng replied in a stern tone.

"Junior did not intend to offend senior, please forgive me." Flender hurriedly spoke. Is it necessary for a Titled Douluo with Nine 100,000 Year Spirit Rings to lie to him, a little Spirit Saint?

"Senior, do you also have Twin Spirits?" Tang San asked.

"This little guy is curious about this old man's Spirit Ring Configuration, right?" Chen Feng smiled faintly.

Tang San nodded, it was not only him, but the others were also very curious.

"This old man has Nine 100,000 Year Spirit Rings because I underwent the God Trials." Chen Feng stated.

"God Trials?" Everyone was very unfamiliar with the terms.

"The God Trials are tests that God's have arranged. Each of the Eight Ancient Clans, worship and enshrine a God King. After we reach adulthood, we will participate in the God Trials. The God King will issue different Levels of Trials according to our qualifications. If we pass the Trials, we can receive rewards from God. One of the rewards can improve the Life Age of the Spirit Ring. If a person passes the Nine God Trials, they can become a God." Chen Feng said.

"Become a God!" Everyone was shocked when they heard these words.

"Brother Feng's Spirit Ring Configuration, is it because of the God Trials?" Tang San asked.

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Xiao Feng has not yet participated in any God Trials. His Spirit Ring is due to his Special Physique. When he participates in the God Trials, he will likely reach and even pass the Ninth God Trial, he is the most likely individual in the Clan right now to pass all the God Trials and become a God."

"Since Brother Feng has the hope to become a God, then we should hug this thick, golden thigh tightly," Oscar said excitedly.

"Well, this old man has said enough. Anyway, I will remain in the Academy for some time, please arrange a place for me to stay." Chen Feng said.

"Junior will immediately arrange a place for you, senior," Flender replied, he does not dare to offend such a great figure.

....

The next morning, everyone from Shrek Academy went to participate in the Ranking Matches, Chen Feng attended the Matches with the excuse of 'protecting them.

The Ranking Matches will be held in the Royal Hunting Ground, located 50 kilometres southwest of Heaven Dou City. To protect the personal privacy of the participating Spirit Masters, no spectators are allowed to watch except for the participating Academies.

A total of 15 Teams are to participate in the Ranking Tournament, except for the Heaven Dou City's 5 selected Teams, the four affiliated Kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire and one affiliated Principality, selected and sent a total of 10 Teams.

Everyone from Shrek Academy came to the Hunting Ground, the first thing they saw was the Royal Knights stationed there.

The Royal Knights are the strongest Army in the Heaven Dou Empire. The Captains are all Spirit Masters, they all wear bright silver armour, the armour has a strong defence, and their mounts are also all Spirit Beasts with great vigour and strength.

"Damn, they look good! "Ma Hongjun said in shock.

"One day, our Shrek Academy will also appear this good and dignified," Flender commented.

"Please show me your certificate. " When everyone from Shrek Academy came to the gate of the Hunting Ground, they were stopped by the guarding Royal Knight who asked them to show Certificate of their Qualification.

Flender handed the certificate to the other party. The knight wearing silver armour with a red ribbon on his head immediately saluted them.

"Welcome, Spirit Masters of Shrek Academy, I am Roxon, the Captain of the Third Team of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights, please come with me. "

After speaking, he took fifty full-armed Royal Knights to guard Shrek and escort them to the inside of the Hunting Ground.

Following Roxon, everyone from Shrek Academy arrived at a vast grassland sparsely populated with a few tents for them to stay in.

To avoid unnecessary troubles and conflicts, and to prevent the strength of each Academy entering the Ranking Tournament from being observed by other academies, the fifteen Advanced Spirit Master Academies participating Teams entering the Ranking Tournament were arranged to rest in different areas.

Roxon gave a standard military salute to Flender and said: "Tomorrow, the Ranking Matches will officially begin. At that time, someone will lead you to the Match's venue. There is no opening ceremony for the Ranking Match. The Match will begin immediately."

"Thank you, Captain Roxon," Flender responded politely.

"I will leave first," Roxon said.

After Roxon left, everyone in Shrek began to allocate their tents. With Chen Feng's current identity, of course, he was assigned a separate tent.

Just when they had just settled down, two guests arrived, one was Ning Fengzhi and the other was Xue Qinghe.

"Uncle Ning, your Royal Highness, why are you here?" Tang San had just walked out of the tent when he saw the two of them.

"Nothing, we came over to see how you are doing, where's Rongrong? I miss this girl, I haven't seen her for a while," Ning Fengzhi smiled.

"Daddy!" Ning Rongrong's voice sounded at that moment, her charming figure ran out of the tent and plunged into Ning Fengzhi's embrace.

Others, including Chen Feng, also walked out of the tent at this time.

Flender and Grandmaster greeted them and said: "Clan Head Ning, greetings."

"Dean Flender, Grandmaster, you are being too polite." Ning Fengzhi smiled, his eyes swept over everyone, the only one he did not recognise was Chen Feng in his current appearance. Thus, he asked, "This is?"

"Daddy, this is an Elder of Brother Feng's Clan." Ning Rongrong answered.

Ning Fengzhi did not react much, but Xue Qinghe was stunned. Since Chen Feng told him about the Eight Ancient Clans that day, he had been investigating in secret but found nothing. Yet today, an Elder from Chen Feng's Clan suddenly appeared.

"Senior, can I tell my father about what you said yesterday?" Ning Rongrong looked at Chen Feng. Without Chen Feng's consent, she did not dare to tell them anything.

"Your mouth is not mine, what you say is none of my business." Chen Feng replied.

"Daddy, Senior is a Titled Douluo with Nine 100,000 Year Spirit Rings..." Ning Rongrong told Ning Fengzhi what Chen Feng said yesterday.

Currently, stormy waves set off in Xue Qinghe's heart. He knew the strength of the Spirit Hall the most. It was almost the same as what Ning Rongrong had just said. The Eight Ancient Clans had secretly investigated Spirit Hall. Yet the Spirit Hall knew nothing about the Eight Ancient Clans.

Ning Fengzhi could not believe it, this news shocked him to the core.
