Chapter 176: The Upper Three Sects Take the Stage
Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xue Ye naturally saw the Star Luo Empire's ranking and rewards, and his expression darkened even further.
Star Luo ranked eighth and received such practical rewards.
Especially that Soul Ring Blessing; the boost to the Empire's overall military strength would be immediate!
As one side wax and the other wanes, the pressure on the Heaven Dou Empire grew even greater.
"Star Luo... that old fellow Dai Tianfeng has quite good Luck."
Emperor Xue Ye snorted coldly, the sense of urgency in his heart intensifying.
He had to clean up internal affairs and consolidate his forces as quickly as possible!
At the same time, he had to find ways to enhance the Empire's strength!
Otherwise, under the dual pressure of external enemies and internal troubles, the Heaven Dou Empire's prospects were worrying.
"The Clean Source Plan... must be accelerated!"
He issued orders to the shadows once more... Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the Star Luo Empire's rewards, especially the 500-year increase in Soul Ring age.
A barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed through her eyes!
This kind of group enhancement that directly affected a massive base was terrifyingly effective.
If Spirit Hall could obtain similar rewards... "The Star Luo Empire gained benefits, and the Heaven Dou Empire was called out; this power ranking list is truly lively."
A cold arc curled at the corner of Bibi Dong's mouth.
"However, the good show is still to come; my Spirit Hall's ranking has not yet been revealed."
She looked down: "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, send people to watch the movements of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire! Additionally, speed up our own preparations and integration!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo nodded solemnly!
...The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and other powers were envious of the Star Luo Empire's rewards.
An increase in Soul Ring age was equally tempting for Sects like theirs that focused on elite cultivation.
This made them even more expectant of their own ranking and the rewards they might receive... Just then, the golden light on the heavenly curtain began to surge violently again!
New characters quickly coalesced.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The title and information for the seventh place carried an overbearing and ancient aura belonging to a top-tier Beast Spirit.
It manifested boldly!
[Douluo Continent power ranking list, Seventh Place: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan]
[Reason for Listing]: Top-tier Beast Spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Legacy Family, with a long history and powerful Bloodline. Clan Chief Yu Yuanzhen, a Rank 97 attack system Super Douluo, possesses domineering and peerless thunder power and exceptional combat strength, serving as the Family's pillar of stability. However, in the past century, there has been an insufficient emergence of brilliant talents among the younger generation, and the hidden worry of a generational gap has appeared, slightly affecting development potential. Considering its peak combat power, deep foundation, and current situation, it is ranked seventh.]
[Ranking Rewards]:
1. Bloodline Luck Blessing: Family Luck permanently increased by 15%, and the probability of Bloodline potential being triggered is slightly increased.
2. Thunder Spirit Ring Refinement: For all members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the age of all Soul Rings they possess is immediately increased by 700 years.
3. Resource Foundation Supplement: Random reward of ten ten-thousand-year quality Soul Bones (attributes inclined toward Attack, Thunder, and Dragon systems).
4. Family Cultivation Tide: Within the next year, in the core settlement of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Cultivate speed of all Family members is increased by 20%.]
...Seventh place, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
This ranking, after causing slight surprise among many Soul Masters on the continent, was quickly accepted as reality.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, once the world's number one Beast Spirit, has indeed made the list!"
"Seventh place... with Clan Chief Yu Yuanzhen's strength as a Super Douluo, plus so many Soul Douluo Elders, this ranking seems reasonable?"
"It's a bit surprising they didn't make the top five, but it makes sense when you think about it. The number of top-tier experts is still a bit low, with only the Clan Chief as a Super Douluo to hold up the front. And the heavenly curtain also said that the younger generation lacks geniuses, which affects their potential."
"The rewards are truly good! A 700-year increase in Soul Ring age! The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is already overbearing; with the Soul Ring age increased further, how terrifying will that attack power be?"
"Ten ten-thousand-year Soul Bones! Cultivation acceleration! The strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is likely to skyrocket in a year!"
"..."
Soul Masters discussed fervently.
As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was famous!
Its Clan Chief Yu Yuanzhen was a long-renowned Super Douluo; that they could make the list and rank high was not a surprise to everyone.
It was just that, compared to the two great Empires before, which ranked eighth and ninth with only one ordinary Titled Douluo each.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possessed a Super Douluo but only ranked seventh, which further confirmed everyone's previous suspicions.
Starting from seventh place, the competition on the list had entered another level!
The requirements for the number and quality of top-tier experts, as well as the potential of the power, had suddenly risen!
...Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen stood with his hands behind his back, his hair and beard bristling.
Tiny blue electric snakes faintly flickered around his body.
He looked at his Family's ranking and description on the heavenly curtain!
"Sigh!"
That resolute and majestic face now bore a somewhat complex expression.
Gratification, pride, and a hint of unwillingness!
And deep concern.
"Seventh..."
Yu Yuanzhen murmured to himself.
"The world's number one Beast Spirit, yet in my hands, it only ends up in seventh."
Behind him, several Family Elders with powerful auras, all at least at the Soul Douluo level, stood solemnly.
Hearing this, similar complex emotions appeared on their faces.
A hot-tempered Elder couldn't help but say: "Sect Master! Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan awes the continent, and you, Clan Chief, are a powerhouse even among Super Douluo!"
"Is this ranking... a bit too low!"
Another more steady Elder sighed: "What the heavenly curtain says also makes sense; in recent years, our clan has indeed seen few brilliant juniors born."
"Young Tianheng is decent, but the generational gap within the Family is an indisputable fact. If not for your great reputation, Clan Chief, the ranking might have been even lower."
At the mention of the generational gap, the Elders all fell silent.
This was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's greatest hidden pain in recent years.
The top-tier combat power relied on Yu Yuanzhen alone!
The middle generation, such as Soul Douluo and Soul Saints, were numerous, but they lacked a true leader like Yu Yuanzhen was in his youth—someone who could hold their own and have hope of reaching the Super Douluo level.
The younger generation, except for a few like Yu Tianheng, seemed to have overall talent that couldn't compare to the era of their ancestors.
Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand, stopping everyone's discussion.
He looked up, his gaze becoming sharp as lightning once more: "The ranking is set; there's no use saying more. The heavenly curtain gave reasons and gave generous rewards!"
"This is both recognition and an exhortation, and even more so, an Opportunity for our clan to rise again!"
...Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi looked at his old rival, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, ranked seventh with rewards even more generous than the Star Luo Empire's, and a flash of understanding and contemplation crossed his eyes.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's foundation is indeed deep; these rewards are well-deserved."
Ning Fengzhi said to the Sword and Bone Douluo beside him.
"A 700-year increase in Soul Ring age... for an attack system Martial Soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the boost is particularly significant."
"In a year, the overall strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will likely increase by more than twenty percent."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded: "Yu Yuanzhen was already powerful; if the Family's core strength rises another level, its deterrent power will be even greater."
"It seems the rankings for the Upper Three Sects will soon be revealed as well."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong chuckled strangely: "Fengzhi, where do you think our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will rank? What rewards will we get? Will there be an increase in Soul Ring age for us too?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled: "Let's see how the heavenly curtain judges us. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does not excel in frontal assault, but in terms of support, wealth, and influence... we have our own advantages."
...Spirit Hall, Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu looked at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ranking and rewards with a calm expression.
This result was not outside his expectations.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still has its foundation, and Yu Yuanzhen can be considered a figure of note."
"Seventh place is reasonable."
Qian Daoliu said slowly.
"The rewards—the Soul Ring age increase, the Bloodline Luck... this heavenly curtain is quite considerate of those with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Bloodline Legacy."
Gold Crocodile Douluo grinned: "So what if it's considerate? A mere seven-hundred-year Soul Ring boost is nothing more than icing on the cake for us."
"True powerhouses rely on their own comprehension and Opportunity."
"High Priest, in my view, the top five are the opponents our Spirit Hall needs to pay attention to."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly: "Indeed, one of the Upper Three Sects has appeared. Next, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Clear Sky Sect should both take the stage."
"Let's see how the heavenly curtain orders them."
His gaze turned toward the heavenly curtain once more.
Waiting for the next name to appear.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
And at this moment, the golden light on the heavenly curtain.
After a brief period of preparation, it began to surge violently once again!
Countless people's Martial Souls were lifted!
A new power, carrying a completely different aura, was about to take the stage!
The continent's focus converged once more.
