Chapter 177: Wealth to Rival a Nation
The heavenly curtain surged with golden light!
The name of the sixth place, accompanied by a unique radiance that shimmered like countless treasures, slowly appeared!
[Douluo Continent power ranking list, Sixth Place: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School]
[Reason for Listing]: The number-one support system Sect under heaven, its riches rival a nation and its wealth surpasses the entire continent; its intelligence network reaches every corner. The Sect commands two Super Douluo: Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong. Though School Master Ning Fengzhi is only a Soul Douluo, his Martial Soul has evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, granting top-tier support abilities continent-wide, while his wisdom and diplomatic skill make him the Soul of the Sect. Overall, he ranks sixth.
[Listing Reward]:
1. Prosperous Fortune: the overall financial luck of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is permanently increased by 20%.
2. Glazed Treasure-Light Tempering: every core member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School instantly gains 900 additional years on all of their Soul Rings.
3. Resource Treasury: twelve ten-thousand-year Soul Bones of random types, plus rare metals and medicinal ingredients!
4. Sect Paradise: for the coming year, all Sect members within the core grounds of Glazed Tile Castle will Cultivate 25% faster and gain a small boost to Comprehension Ability... Once this rank appeared, the continent was in an uproar again!
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! The richest Sect under heaven!"
"Sixth place! Ahead of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—but then again, with two Super Douluo like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, that top-tier line-up is truly luxurious!"
"School Master Ning is only a Soul Douluo, but the support power of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is Heaven-Defying!"
"With him around, how much stronger do Sword and Bone Douluo become? And Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has money—wealth is part of strength!"
"A 20% financial boost? My word, they're already rich enough to rival nations; now they'll be swimming in gold!"
"Twelve Soul Bones! Rare metals and herbs! Twenty-five percent faster cultivation! Those rewards are insane!"
"As expected of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—even their rewards scream extravagance!"
"..."
Gasps of awe and envy rose and fell.
As the wealthiest and most unique of the Upper Three Sects,
its rank and rewards drew widespread attention.
Its vast wealth combined with two Super Douluo was indeed convincing,
and the lavish rewards left countless Soul Masters green with envy... Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Council Hall.
Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat; Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong flanked him.
All three studied the rank and rewards on the heavenly curtain, their expressions varied.
A trace of mild surprise and contemplation flickered across Ning Fengzhi's handsome face as he lightly fanned himself. "Sixth... slightly higher than expected."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong chuckled. "Fengzhi, don't sell us short. With Old Swordsman and me holding the fort, plus your evolved Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, wealth that reaches the heavens, and an intelligence network that misses nothing, sixth place is well-deserved!"
"How could those muscle-brained clans compare with our overall influence?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Sword Qi remained restrained, his gaze as sharp as a blade, and he spoke slowly:
"Rank is but empty fame; what matters is that these rewards greatly benefit our Sect."
"Raising Soul Ring years will solidify every Disciple's Foundation—including Old Bones and me."
"A cultivation boost is even rarer; as for financial luck..."
He looked at Ning Fengzhi. "Fengzhi, that's your specialty—put it to good use."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, a gleam in his eyes. "Uncle Sword is right. Now that the rank is set and the rewards have arrived, our Sect should ride this wind to rise further."
After a pause he said, "The twelve Soul Bones and resources will be allocated according to a plan drawn up by my two uncles and myself."
"Priority: strengthen the Sect's defenses, boost the potential of Core Disciples, and... stockpile strategic supplies for the coming war."
Ning Fengzhi turned to Chen Xin and Gu Rong, his tone turning grave. "In addition, Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, I wish to discuss something. Outside enemies are approaching and undercurrents surge across the continent."
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is wealthy, but we are ultimately a support-oriented Sect lacking decisive offensive might. Rongrong is at Big Dipper Academy and seems quite close to Dean Lu."
"Big Dipper Academy's strength is unfathomable; it repeatedly tops the rankings. Should we... consider establishing deeper cooperation with them?"
"Shared resources, mutual intelligence, even... forming a mutual-defense alliance when necessary?"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged glances!
Both saw gravity—and approval—in each other's eyes.
Big Dipper Academy's rise had been too swift and mysterious, and its Dean Lu Xiao was unfathomable.
Cooperating with such a force carried both risks and opportunities... Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong watched the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School place sixth and receive richer rewards than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The financial boost and Soul Ring increase in particular sent a chill through her violet eyes.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... Ning Fengzhi, what good fortune."
Bibi Dong's voice was indifferent.
"Two Super Douluo, an evolved Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and that overwhelming wealth—indeed they qualify for this rank."
Her tone shifted, a mocking curve at her lips. "The Clear Sky Sect hasn't appeared yet ranks above them; it seems the heavenly curtain gives Tang Chen enormous weight."
"One Limit Douluo truly can outweigh two Super Douluo plus a top support."
Below, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan added, "Your Holiness speaks truly. The Clear Sky Sect has been sealed for years; its younger generation has withered, so its strength should have declined."
"Yet if Tang Chen returns, even alone, he can restore the Clear Sky Sect to the top tier—that must be why they rank so high."
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei rasped, "Tang Chen's existence is trouble for our Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong sneered, "Trouble? Not necessarily. If Tang Chen returns, the relations between the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even the two Empires, may not be harmonious."
"The days when the Upper Three Sects stood shoulder-to-shoulder are long gone."
"Now, with external enemies present and our Spirit Hall overseeing everything, they won't cause major waves—more importantly..."
Her gaze turned profound. "The Rakshasa God Trial is nearing its end; once I complete it, why fear Tang Chen, or even a true Divine Rank powerhouse?"
... Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen merely snorted when he saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ranked above his clan with richer rewards, offering no further comment.
The support power and wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly had their unique merits!
A line-up of two Super Douluo was solid enough.
He cared more about which forces still lay ahead... Just as the continent's powers brooded over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's listing—
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The golden light on the heavenly curtain began to shift once more!
A heavy, majestic pressure suddenly descended, the golden glow blazing.
The name of the fifth place, bearing the incomparable weight of the Clear Sky Hammer, proclaimed itself to the world!
