Chapter 10 Tang San is shocked! The immortal boat emerges from the water?!
"Is this canopy broken?"
"Third Brother has now become a god, the Sea God! The rest of us have also become Title Douluo, and with the Tang Clan's hidden weapons, we are not afraid to even confront the Spirit Empire head-on."
"They didn't even make the top three?"
Ning Rongrong stomped her foot, her face filled with disbelief.
"This is insane, this list is absolutely insane."
"If the Spirit Empire were ranked ahead of us, that would be fine, after all, they have a deep foundation. But apart from the Spirit Empire, where in this world is there a stronger force than us?"
"Could there be two other hidden sects that we've never heard of?"
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, her cool eyes were filled with shock.
A force with a first-level god in charge can only rank fourth.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Tang San, who was in the center of the crowd, looked extremely pale at this moment.
He stared intently at the three large characters "Fourth Place," his chest heaving violently, clearly furious.
"How is this possible... how could it only be fourth place?"
Tang San murmured softly, his eyes filled with an overwhelming gloom.
He placed high hopes on the Tang Clan.
This is the foundation he built in this world, proof of his ability to rebuild the glory of his past life.
In his view, the Tang Clan possesses advanced hidden weapons, top-tier combat power like the Shrek Seven Devils, and a team of soul masters capable of rivaling a regular army.
Even the Spirit Empire, if not for its profound foundation, might not be much stronger than the Tang Clan in terms of explosive power and potential.
He originally thought that even if the Tang Clan couldn't get first place, securing second place and even aiming for first was a sure thing.
Now they're telling him that he didn't even make it into the top three?
This is like someone thinking they got a perfect score, only to find out when the test results are handed out that they didn't even rank in the top three of the class.
This sense of disparity was something that Tang San, who was always proud and arrogant, simply could not accept.
"Teacher!"
Tang San suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Xiaogang beside him.
"Do you think this list is fair?"
"Besides the Spirit Empire, what other force on this continent can overpower my Tang Clan?"
Yu Xiaogang's face was also stiff at this moment.
He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and his brow furrowed, clearly the sudden ranking had disrupted all his calculations.
"This... is indeed illogical."
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment, his tone tinged with hesitation.
"Looking across the entire continent, the only one that can be compared to the Tang Clan today is the Spirit Empire."
"It could even be said that because of your ascension to godhood, Third Brother, the Tang Clan has surpassed the vast majority of forces in terms of top-tier combat power."
"Logically speaking, the Tang Clan and the Spirit Empire should have taken the top two spots."
Upon hearing this, Tang San felt even more resentful.
"If the teacher thinks so too, then this list is just made up randomly!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Not to mention that my strength is far superior to Qian Renxue's, even if Bibi Dong is added, I am not afraid."
"Even if we take a step back and assume that the Tang Clan is slightly inferior to the Spirit Empire, it should still be second place!"
"Fourth place? Is this an insult to me?"
A fierce glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and the divine might of the Sea God unconsciously emanated, making the surrounding soldiers breathless.
He couldn't accept that his proud efforts were so worthless in the eyes of Heaven.
Just then.
Golden light shone brightly in the sky, and the rewards transformed into several streams of light, precisely entering the bodies of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Buzz—
A strange wave spread out.
Tang San felt his divine power surging within him, and the color of his spirit rings instantly deepened, as an extremely terrifying power filled his entire body.
Increase the age of all spirit rings by 100,000 years!
What does this mean?
This means that all of his spirit rings, even his first spirit ring, have now turned into red, 100,000-year level rings!
Some of them were originally 100,000 years old, and they are now moving towards an even higher level.
Xiao Wu sensed the changes within her body, and a hint of joy finally appeared on her face. She tugged at Tang San's arm and shook it.
"Third Brother! Look!"
"My spirit rings have all become 100,000 years old!"
"And now you have two martial souls, a total of eighteen soul rings, all starting at 100,000 years. This reward... is really generous!"
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others also felt the surge of power within their bodies, and their initial dissatisfaction dissipated considerably.
"Wow, this is so luxurious."
"Although the ranking is a bit low, the real benefits are really worth it."
Ma Hongjun touched his belly, looking completely blissful.
As Tang San gained new insights into the Golden Thirteen Halberds, his previously grim expression softened slightly.
This reward is truly exceptional.
It can be said that this directly doubled the combat power of this newly promoted Sea God.
But the thought of rankings was a thorn in his side that he couldn't shake off.
Ning Rongrong suddenly chimed in from the side:
"If the reward for fourth place is this outrageous, then what about the rewards for the top three, especially the first place?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been immersed in joy, instantly fell silent.
Yes.
The fourth-ranked team consists entirely of members with 100,000-year-old spirit rings and divine skills.
And what about the first place?
Should we just offer a divine position? Or something even more outrageous?
Tang San's complexion, which had just improved, instantly collapsed again.
He originally considered the top spot to be his for the taking.
Now look what happened! Not only did they not get it, they've become someone else's stepping stone.
Tang San looked up, his eyes blazing, staring intently at the ever-changing sky.
"Snort."
"I want to see just who these three forces ranked ahead of my Tang Clan really are."
"If any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to ride roughshod over my Tang Clan, then we might as well give up on this Heavenly Curtain!"
...
Jialing Pass.
On the city wall.
Qian Renxue, clad in golden armor, stared at the rankings on the sky, her beautiful face filled with shock.
"Tang Clan... fourth?"
She muttered to herself, her tone tinged with absurdity.
As a long-time rival who had fought Tang San many times, she was all too aware of the Tang Clan's current influence.
Although Tang San is annoying, his strength is undeniable.
Add to that Shrek Academy group, and this force would be an unstoppable force in any era.
Only fourth place?
Bibi Dong stood beside Qian Renxue, slamming her scepter heavily on the ground with a muffled thud.
"That's impossible."
Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes widened, a hint of unease flashing deep within them.
"The Tang Clan is no weaker than our Spirit Empire, and in some aspects it is even stronger."
"If even they can only rank fourth, then where can our Spirit Empire rank?"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and began to analyze the situation.
"With Tang San in the Tang Clan, I've become a god too."
"This means that the two unknown forces ahead of us must also have god-level experts in charge."
"And... there might be more than one."
At this point, Qian Renxue felt a chill run down her spine.
If the Tang Clan ranks fourth, then the Spirit Empire will at best be second or third.
This means that at least two more colossal entities, even more terrifying than the Spirit Empire and the Tang Clan, are hidden on this continent.
