The Azure Dragon's massive eyes narrowed as he examined Lin Mu carefully again.
His appearance had changed slightly since those events.
He had grown stronger.
His aura had matured.
But the core of his presence remained the same.
The Azure Dragon exhaled slowly.
"…So it truly is you."
Temple Head Puyi looked between them in stunned silence.
His brain was already overloaded.
Now he had learned something even more absurd.
The Great Granduncle Master…
Was also a Guardian Beast Tournament Champion. And even the two ancient Guardian Spirits… were shocked by him.
For a few long moments after the revelation, neither the Azure Dragon nor the Vermilion Bird spoke.
The temple hall fell into a strange silence that felt far heavier than before. Their massive illusory bodies still hovered in the air, but their earlier groggy confusion had completely vanished.
In its place appeared something far more complicated.
