Chapter 114: Consecutive Appearances on the Ranking, The Continent's Shock.
This time, the speed was astonishing.
Many people hadn't even had time to digest the shock brought by Thousand Jun Douluo ranking last.
[soul master strongest ranking, 19th Place]
[Name: Light Feather Douluo]
[Affiliation: Spirit Hall Hall of Worship]
[Soul Power Rank: level 96 Peak]
[Martial Soul: Light Feather Divine Bow]
[Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black]
[Combat Power Evaluation: Peak of the long-range attack system. The Light Feather Divine Bow combines extreme speed, penetration, and freezing effects. Its arrows never miss, posing an extreme threat and providing crowd control capability over ultra-long distances. His Soul Power control is exquisite, and his combat awareness is outstanding. However, his close-combat ability is relatively weak, making him passive when facing top-tier charges and Domain suppression, hence his 19th Rank.]
[Reward: All Soul Ring years increased by seven hundred years, Soul Power increased by one Rank, and the range and freezing effect of the Light Feather Divine Arrow increased by fifteen percent.]
"Nineteenth place! Another Spirit Hall Worship Elder! It's the Fifth Worship Elder, Light Feather Douluo!"
"level 96 Peak! He's only ranked one spot higher than Thousand Jun Douluo?"
"My heavens, this ranking... it's terrifying!"
"Spirit Hall has had two people appear on the ranking consecutively. Although their Ranks are low, it proves their deep foundation!"
"But... but this is too low, isn't it? Shouldn't the Worship Elders of the Hall of Worship be ranked higher?"
The Continent was once again in an uproar.
But this time, the surprise seemed mixed with a trace of numbness.
Since even Thousand Jun Douluo ranked last, Light Feather Douluo being ranked nineteenth felt... somewhat acceptable?
... Spirit Hall, Hall of Worship.
Light Feather Douluo himself looked at his name on the heavenly curtain, feeling the familiar energy of heaven and earth pouring into his body.
His Soul Power naturally broke through to Rank 97.
The Light Feather Divine Bow in his hand became even more crystal clear.
"Boom!"
As the bowstring vibrated, cold air overflowed, and the speed of the arrow's condensation and its power were significantly enhanced.
However, the face that usually carried a hint of cynicism was now covered in frost.
His eyes were filled with defiance and suppressed frustration.
"Nineteenth... nineteenth place?"
Light Feather Douluo's voice was cold, laced with deep unwillingness.
"This old man has dominated the Continent for a century, and the souls lost to my bow are countless, yet I only ended up with nineteenth place?"
He was confident that his long-range attacks were unmatched in the World; even against a Rank 97 powerhouse, he had the strength to fight.
He could even gain an advantage by relying on his ultra-long range and crowd control abilities.
He could not accept this ranking!
Seeing this, Azure Luan Douluo gently patted his shoulder. The usually steady Azure Luan Douluo's tone now carried a hint of helplessness and solemnity.
"Guangling, calm down."
"Since things have come to this, anger is useless. This ranking... is probably far more complex than we imagined."
He looked up at the heavenly curtain, which was still radiating golden light, and said gravely, "Think about it, to Rank you and Qian Jun in this position means there are at least eighteen people ahead of you whose strength surpasses yours!"
"Among these eighteen people, aside from the few we already know and the one from Sea God Island, the vast majority of the remaining spots... will likely fall to Big Dipper Academy."
He paused, then continued his analysis.
It was more like he was trying to persuade himself and the other Worship Elders.
"The sky curtain rules have always been fair, and the rewards match the ranking."
"Since it has arranged the Ranks this way, there must be a reason. Big Dipper Academy... we truly underestimated them before."
"It seems the number and quality of the powerhouses they have hidden have reached an unbelievable level."
Qian Daoliu sat upright above, golden light flickering in his eyes.
He slowly nodded, affirming Azure Luan Douluo's judgment.
"Azure Luan is right. Dwelling on the ranking now is meaningless. This old man is more interested in seeing who these figures are that can Rank ahead of my Spirit Hall Worship Elders!"
"Especially those in the top ten... and even the top three!"
His voice carried a seriousness and curiosity he had never shown before.
As a Limit Douluo who was unmatched in the sky, this was the first time he had felt such a strong desire to investigate a ranking.
Gold Crocodile Douluo, Lion Douluo, and the others also nodded, suppressing the turmoil in their hearts.
They focused all their attention on the heavenly curtain.
They knew... the real main event was still to come.
Demon Subduing Douluo's face was still pale, but a flame ignited in his eyes.
He wanted to see what kind of existences had pushed him off the ranking!
... Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong watched Light Feather Douluo's name appear.
The knuckles of the hand gripping her Scepter grew paler from the force.
The shock in her heart had already transformed into heavy pressure.
"Guangling, nineteenth..."
She repeated softly, cold light flickering in her Purple Eyes.
Two members of the Hall of Worship had appeared consecutively, yet both were at the bottom Ranks.
This meant that the seats ahead would be heavily divided!
Her gaze seemed to pierce through the palace, looking toward the direction of Big Dipper Academy.
Her tone carried a hint of apprehension that even she hadn't noticed.
"Big Dipper Academy, just how much strength have you hidden? This Strongest Ranking will likely become another feast for you to acquire resources!"
She was well aware of how generous the heavenly curtain's rewards were for the top Ranks.
During the previous immortal herb ranking, Big Dipper Academy had already gained a rich harvest. If they occupied a large number of high positions on this Strongest Ranking, obtaining massive Soul Power increases, Martial Soul enhancements, and even Divine Skills and Cultivation Techniques... the strength of Big Dipper Academy would swell to a terrifying degree in a short period!
At that time, her Spirit Hall's hegemony would face an unprecedented challenge!
"All Spirit Hall affiliates, pay close attention to the remainder of the ranking, especially the Ranks and rewards of those from Big Dipper Academy! I must know every bit of their improvement!"
Bibi Dong suddenly turned around, her voice as cold as a blade.
"Yes, Supreme Pontiff Your Excellency!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei quickly bowed in response.
Their hearts were also filled with a sense of urgency.
The heavenly curtain did not give the Continent's inhabitants much time to think; the golden light continued to flow upward and coalesce at a steady speed.
This time, it seemed to slow slightly, as if brewing a greater "surprise"...
In a remote, dilapidated corner of a small city on the Douluo Continent, a middle-aged man, reeking of alcohol, raggedly dressed, and unshaven, was present.
His cloudy gaze occasionally swept across the heavenly curtain in the sky.
He was the Clear Sky Douluo who had vanished without a trace—Tang Hao.
When he saw Spirit Hall's Thousand Jun Douluo and Light Feather Douluo successively appear at the bottom of the ranking, the depths of Tang Hao's eyes, hidden by alcohol and decadence, suddenly erupted with bone-deep hatred and icy killing intent.
Spirit Hall!
Bibi Dong!
These names were like poisonous thorns, deeply embedded in his heart, a nightmare he could never let go of in his lifetime.
His purpose for living, besides protecting his son Little San, was to seek revenge against Spirit Hall!
However, what immediately surged into his heart was unprecedented shock and a trace of... self-doubt.
"The Worship Elders of Spirit Hall... can only Rank at the very bottom?"
He muttered hoarsely to himself.
The Wine Gourd in his hand was unconsciously crushed out of shape.
He deeply understood the power of the Spirit Hall Worship Elders; they were existences that even his grandfather, the previous generation's Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen, had mentioned with solemnity.
Yet now, within the heavenly curtain's evaluation system, these powerful Super Douluo seemed so "ordinary"?
Tang Hao was originally extremely confident, even arrogant, deep down.
He possessed the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Spirit under heaven, and the hundred thousand year spirit ring coveted by countless Soul Masters.
Furthermore, he mastered the Clear Sky Sect's supreme secret techniques, the Great Sumeru Hammer and even Ring Explosion!
He was confident that even if his Soul Power Rank might not match those veteran Super Douluo, relying on these trump cards, his true combat power could definitely squeeze into the Continent's absolute top Ranks.
Perhaps even challenge the top ten!
But reality was like a basin of icy water, chilling him to the core.
Since even Light Feather Douluo, a level 96 Peak expert, only ranked nineteenth, where could his own strength possibly Rank?
Top ten?
It was doubtful he could even make the Top Fifteen!
A strong sense of crisis and urgency gripped Tang Hao's heart.
He realized that this World was far more unfathomable than he had imagined.
If he wanted revenge, his current strength was far from enough!
"Little San... and that mysterious Big Dipper Academy..."
A hint of complexity flashed in Tang Hao's cloudy eyes.
He had to help his son grow faster, and he also had to re-evaluate this suddenly rising Big Dipper Academy.
Perhaps, there would be a turning point there?
