Chapter 113: Twentieth Place, a Spirit Hall Enforcer?
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Above the heavenly curtain, golden light surged forth like a flowing waterfall.
Finally, under the gaze of countless anxious eyes, the first name and detailed information slowly materialized at the very bottom of the ranking list:
[soul master strongest ranking, Twentieth Place]

[Name: Thousand Jun Douluo]
[Affiliation: Spirit Hall Hall of Worship]
[Soul Power Rank: level 96]
[Martial Soul: Coiling Dragon Rod]
[Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black]
[Combat Power Evaluation: Martial Soul quality is excellent, Soul Power is solidified, the Coiling Dragon Rod Technique is fierce and unparalleled, making him a standout among attack system Titled Douluo. However, he lacks a top-tier Domain, and is slightly inferior in adaptability and ultimate burst power, thus ranking twentieth.]
[Reward: All Soul Ring lifespans are increased by five hundred years, Soul Power is increased by one Rank, and Martial Soul Origin power is amplified by ten percent.]
The moment the information appeared, the entire Douluo Continent seemed to have been muted, falling into a deathly silence.
Immediately following this was an uproar and disbelief that swept through like a tsunami!
"Twentieth place? Thousand Jun Douluo? The Sixth Enforcer of Spirit Hall?"
"A level 96 Super Douluo... how could he... how could he only Rank twentieth?"
"How is this possible! Thousand Jun Douluo is a powerhouse who has been famous for ages!"
"The Coiling Dragon Rod Martial Soul is so powerful, yet he can only be at the bottom?"
"The reward—Soul Ring lifespan increase! Soul Power increase! Martial Soul amplification! It's incredibly generous! But... but this ranking..."
Everyone was stunned.
In their understanding, Titled Douluo were already legends.
Super Douluo above Rank 95 were even rarer, each existence capable of affecting the Continent's structure.
The seven Enforcers of the Spirit Hall Hall of Worship were like seven insurmountable high mountains!
Yet now, Thousand Jun Douluo, ranked sixth among them, had only just managed to touch the very tail end of the Strongest Ranking?
... Spirit Hall, Hall of Worship.
Thousand Jun Douluo himself was standing in the plaza in front of the Hall.
When he saw his name appear in twentieth place, he was momentarily stunned.
Immediately afterward, a surge of pure Heaven and Earth Energy poured into his body, and his Soul Power instantly Broke through the Bottleneck, reaching Rank 97!
"Buzz!"
The Coiling Dragon Rod Martial Soul let out a pleasant chime.
The Dragon patterns on the rod seemed to come alive, and its aura became heavier and more magnificent.
The color of all his Soul Rings also deepened slightly.
However, Thousand Jun Douluo showed no sign of joy; only deep shock and disbelief.
"Twen... twentieth place?" he muttered to himself, almost doubting his own eyes.
He had anticipated that his ranking might not be very high, as the Continent was full of hidden Dragons and crouching Tigers, not to mention the mysterious Big Dipper Academy.
But he never imagined he would Rank dead last!
This was practically a resounding slap across the face of this veteran Super Douluo!
"Big Brother! This..." Demon Subduing Douluo's face instantly turned pale, his voice trembling slightly.
He and Qian Jun were biological brothers, their strength nearly equal.
If his Elder brother ranked twentieth, did that mean he... didn't even qualify to be on the list?
This cruel reality made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Gold Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and Light Feather Douluo looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and solemnity.
Qian Daoliu, seated at the head, finally showed intense turmoil in his usually placid golden eyes.
He slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of gravity: "It seems... we still underestimated this Continent."
"Big Dipper Academy is probably even more terrifying than we imagined."
He was almost certain.
For an institution to push Rank 96 Qian Jun to twentieth place, Big Dipper Academy must occupy a significant number of spots!
Perhaps even... multiple spots within the top ten!
An unprecedented pressure weighed heavily on the hearts of every Enforcer...
Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
The supreme pontiff scepter in Bibi Dong's hand was being squeezed until it creaked.
Her stunningly beautiful face was now covered in frost and suspicion.
"Qian Jun... twentieth?" She practically ground the words out through clenched teeth.
This ranking completely exceeded her expectations!
She had originally thought that with the strength of those old fellows in the Hall of Worship, they could at least secure multiple spots within the top fifteen, or even challenge the top ten.
But now... she glanced at Yue Guan and Gui Mei beside her.
The faces of these two Spirit Hall Elders were already ashen.
They had originally held a glimmer of hope of making it onto the list, but seeing Rank 96 Qian Jun ranked dead last, what chance did either of them have?
Despair spread through their hearts.
"Could it be... that besides Big Dipper Academy, there are other unknown Peerless Powerhouses hidden on the Continent?" Bibi Dong's purple eyes flickered as the list of known powerhouses on the Continent flashed quickly through her mind.
Tang Chen is missing, Big Dipper Academy... who else?
For the first time, she felt that her control over this Continent was not as secure as she had imagined...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The teacup in Ning Fengzhi's hand fell to the ground with a "smash" and shattered.
He didn't notice, only staring intently at the heavenly curtain, his elegant face filled with horror.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, this..." His voice was dry as he looked at Chen Xin and Gu Rong beside him.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, holding the Seven Kill Sword, had a face that was usually stern but was now filled with solemnity.
He slowly shook his head: "Rank 96 is at the bottom, Fengzhi. It seems that Old Bones and I will struggle to enter the top ten."
This realization brought an indescribable bitterness to his heart.
He had dedicated his life to the sword, pursuing the ultimate Dao of the Sword.
He believed his strength was second to none, yet reality was so cruel.
Ning Fengzhi sighed deeply.
The absurd thought in his mind became clearer and clearer.
The value of this soul master strongest ranking was likely high to the point of despair.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School seemed so insignificant in the face of this overwhelming wave...
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen stared at the heavenly curtain, speechless for a long time.
He had originally harbored the thought of competing with the heroes of the World, but now only a helpless sigh remained.
Even Thousand Jun Douluo was only twentieth.
His current strength probably couldn't even touch the top ten...
Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao and several Elders gathered together, the atmosphere terrifyingly oppressive.
"Thousand Jun Douluo... twentieth place..." An Elder spoke hoarsely, breaking the silence.
"When did so many powerhouses appear on the Continent?" Another Elder was filled with disbelief.
Tang Xiao clenched his fist, his eyes filled with complexity.
He thought of his grandfather, Tang Chen, who had been missing for many years.
If he were still here, he would surely occupy a place on this list, right?
But now... the Clear Sky Sect, by remaining closed off, had fallen so far behind the times?
... Big Dipper Academy.
Unlike the uproar and shock outside, the atmosphere within Big Dipper Academy was relatively calm.
Lu Xiao looked at Thousand Jun Douluo's name on the heavenly curtain, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth as he whispered, "Just as expected. This is only the beginning. The later rankings will probably make even more people drop their jaws."
Li Bai, holding a Wine Gourd behind him, tilted his head back and took a gulp, laughing: "Rank 96 at the bottom? Interesting. It seems the powerhouses of this World aren't all useless sacks of wine and rice."
His tone carried a hint of eagerness for the hunt.
Monkey King scratched his head, grinning: "Heh heh, only Rank 96 can make the list? Then wouldn't Old Sun Rank very high?" He was supremely confident.
Diaochan, Wenji, Ao Ying, and the others also showed curiosity.
They all wanted to see how the peak combat power of the Douluo Continent was actually arranged.
Students like Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were filled with shock.
This was the first time they had so directly and intuitively felt the gap between Titled Douluo and Titled Douluo, and the terrifying nature of the World's peak combat power.
A level 96 Super Douluo was an existence they had to look up to.
Was he merely the starting point here?
... Just as the entire Continent was still immersed in the extreme shock and uproar caused by Thousand Jun Douluo ranking twentieth, the golden light above the heavenly curtain did not stop.
Instead, it rushed upward and materialized at an even faster speed!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The brilliant golden light seemed to possess sentience, ignoring the countless stunned gazes below, and quickly outlined new information in the nineteenth position.
