Chapter 33 The 12th Martial Soul Ranking Revealed! The Immortal Boat Dominates the Ranking?!
Just then, the clouds above the sky began to churn again.
The silver radiance that originally belonged to the Seven Kill Sword dissipated, and a terrifying aura as heavy as a mountain suddenly descended, as if it would crush the entire sky.
Black light condensed in the clouds, gradually transforming into a giant black hammer.
The hammerhead was enormous, with ancient patterns, exuding an overwhelming sense of power.
The moment all the Soul Masters saw the hammer, they felt their breath catch in their throats, as if a huge rock was pressing down on their chests.
Several lines of golden characters slowly appeared beside the hammer.
[Ranking 12 on the Martial Soul Ranking: Clear Sky Hammer!]
[Owner: Tang Hao]
[Evaluation: A top-tier weapon spirit, possessing ultimate power and explosive force, the Clear Sky Hammer is widely recognized as the number one weapon spirit in Douluo Continent, the nemesis of all power-attack type weapon spirits!]
[As the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao possesses a profound understanding of the Clear Sky Hammer, mastering techniques such as the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Ring Explosion. His development of his martial soul's potential is quite satisfactory!]
[Reward: Overall Soul Ring age increased by 5,000 years! Mastery of the Great Sumeru Hammer deepened!]
...
The moment those words appeared, the entire Douluo Continent fell into a deathly silence.
Immediately following was an explosive uproar.
"What?!"
"Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer... is only ranked twelfth?!"
"How is this possible? That's Clear Sky Douluo! The ruthless man who single-handedly fought against several Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall back then!"
"Isn't the Clear Sky Hammer the number one weapon spirit in the world? How come it can't even make the top ten?"
Whether they were commoner soul masters or powerful figures from various sects, everyone felt their worldviews were being severely impacted.
In their minds, the Clear Sky Hammer was synonymous with power, and Tang Hao was the pinnacle of combat strength.
The result? Only twelfth place?
Outside Jialing Pass, Shrek Camp.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
A furious roar came from the main tent, shaking the entire camp.
Tang Hao suddenly stood up, his usually calm and domineering face now filled with disbelief and shock.
He stared intently at the rankings on the screen, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
"The Clear Sky Hammer... and it's my Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, and it's only ranked twelfth?"
"Is there a mistake in this Martial Soul Ranking?!"
Tang Hao's chest heaved violently, and the anger in his eyes was almost bursting out.
"The Clear Sky Hammer is the strongest martial soul to begin with. With my talent and ability, Tang Hao, I developed the Great Sumeru Hammer and even mastered the divine skill of Ring Explosion!"
"I thought I could at least make the top five, or even the top three!"
"How could it only be ranked twelfth?!"
This enormous disparity made the once arrogant Clear Sky Douluo feel unprecedentedly humiliated.
Inside the tent, the Shrek members were deathly silent.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.
Even Uncle Tang Hao could only rank twelfth, so how valuable was this list?
In the corner, Yu Xiaogang was deathly pale, slumped in his chair as if his soul had been ripped away.
"What... the Clear Sky Hammer... ranked twelfth..."
His lips trembled, and his eyes were unfocused.
"How could it only be twelfth?"
"I've spent my whole life studying martial spirit theory, based on martial spirit quality, spirit ring configuration, and development level..."
"Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer must be at the very top of the pyramid!"
Yu Xiaogang held his head in his hands, tearing at his hair in anguish.
"This completely overturned my theory of the ten core competencies of martial spirits!"
"If even Tang Hao can only rank twelfth, then what kind of monsters are the eleven people ahead of him?"
Tang San was also gripping the Trident of the Sea God tightly, his face terribly gloomy.
"Are you kidding me...?"
"My father only ranked twelfth? That's impossible."
He grew up listening to his father's legends, and in his mind, the Clear Sky Hammer was a symbol of invincibility.
This cruel ranking was like a resounding slap in the face to the father and son.
Ning Rongrong swallowed hard and said weakly:
"This... this means that there are eleven more martial souls ahead of us, even more powerful than the Clear Sky Hammer..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang abruptly raised his head, his voice trembling:
"Eleven... eleven..."
"No matter how many times I count, I can't find five people with a martial soul stronger than Tang Hao's!"
He was counting on his fingers, his expression frantic.
"Bibi Dong's twin martial souls count as one, Qian Renxue's angel martial soul counts as one, and Tang San's twin martial souls count as one..."
"Even if we add that Qian Daoliu who's neither dead nor alive..."
"There are only four! Where did these eleven come from?!"
Tang Hao's eyes flashed with a fierce light, a surge of fighting spirit and resentment intertwined.
"I want to see what kind of monsters and demons are ahead of me in line!"
Tang San took a deep breath, looked at the top of the Heavenly Ranking, and a ridiculous thought suddenly arose in his mind.
"Could it be... that someone from the Luofu Immortal Ship group actually made it onto the list?"
"But how is that possible? The teacher said they don't have a martial spirit system at all..."
...
Jialing Pass, the city wall of the Spirit Hall.
The golden light shone on Qian Renxue's beautiful face, but it couldn't hide her shock at that moment.
"Ranked twelfth on the Martial Soul Ranking, the Clear Sky Hammer?"
"I never expected that the arrogant Tang Hao would only be ranked twelfth?"
Qian Renxue looked at the list and, although she felt pleased, she also felt a deep chill.
Bibi Dong stood beside her, holding a scepter, her expression still cold and arrogant.
"What's so surprising about that?"
"Although Tang Hao is strong, he is just a reckless man. His twelfth place is in line with his status."
Qian Renxue turned to look at Bibi Dong, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
"Bibi Dong, can't you use your brain for once?"
"This is not just a ranking issue."
Bibi Dong frowned and looked coldly at Qian Renxue.
"What do you mean?"
Qian Renxue pointed at the sky, her voice icy.
"Tang Hao is ranked twelfth, which means that there are eleven people ahead of him whose martial souls are stronger than the Clear Sky Hammer!"
"There are only three of us, including you, me, and Grandpa."
"Where did the remaining eight people come from?"
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, and her previously arrogant expression froze instantly.
"Eleven...?"
"There are so many..."
She was so focused on mocking Tang Hao that she overlooked the terrifying implications behind this simple arithmetic problem.
At this moment, she was frantically searching her mind for the strongest people on the continent, but she found that no matter how many she counted, she could not fill this huge gap.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath and looked toward the far north.
"This means that there are still beings on the Martial Soul Ranking that we are unaware of."
"Or..."
She paused, her tone becoming extremely serious.
"If I'm not mistaken, someone from the Luofu Immortal Ship group must be on the list."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's body trembled violently, and she instinctively retorted:
"How is this possible?!"
