Upon hearing Tang San's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
It turns out that Third Brother wanted to achieve the greatest victory with the least cost!
At that moment, a sudden change occurred!
The entire sky darkened without warning.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light tore through the sky, and a huge golden list slowly unfolded in the heavens.
Ancient and mysterious characters circulate on the list.
[Heavenly Ranking - Register of the Strongest]
[Ranking 14th!]
It's here!
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the sky.
In the Heavenly Dou Camp, everyone immediately became excited.
"Fourteenth place! I wonder who it will be?"
"This person must be quite capable. If we can win him over to our side, our chances of victory will be much greater!"
"That's right! With His Majesty the Sea God overseeing things here, the other side will surely make a wise choice!"
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, a confident smile on his face.
He cleared his throat and said in a tone of authority:
Such a strong person must be proud and arrogant.
However, if I personally extend the invitation, appealing to their emotions and reasoning, they will have no reason to refuse.
"Perhaps he will even be convinced by my martial spirit theory and willingly serve us."
...
Meanwhile, on the Spirit Hall's side...
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo returned to the city tower with lingering fear.
"That was close..." Yue Guan patted his chest. "That Tang San is truly ruthless. He attacked without warning and has no sense of martial ethics whatsoever."
"Be careful when you encounter Shrek Academy members in the future," Ghost said in a deep voice.
Just then, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.
The members of the Spirit Hall also looked up.
Fourteenth place?
When that golden name appeared on the list, everyone's pupils contracted sharply in an instant!
[14th Place: Golden Crocodile Douluo!]
"What?!"
"It's the Second Elder!?"
The Spirit Hall erupted in chaos.
Everyone was shocked.
You should know that Golden Crocodile Douluo is the strongest person in their Spirit Hall besides His Majesty the Angel God!
Even he only ranked fourteenth?
The Azure Phoenix Douluo and the Lion Douluo in the Hall of Offerings exchanged a glance, both seeing bitterness in each other's eyes.
They thought they also had a chance to make the list, but now it seems they were overthinking it.
However, after the initial shock came overwhelming joy.
Congratulations, Second Elder!
Congratulations on your second offering!
Everyone congratulated Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"The Second Elder has made it onto the Golden List. If he receives further rewards from Heaven, his strength will surely increase greatly!"
Perhaps he can rival the Grand Priest of his prime!
Faced with everyone's congratulations, Golden Crocodile Douluo simply nodded calmly.
A glint of light flashed in his cloudy old eyes.
He had absolute confidence in his level 98 strength, but even so, he was only ranked fourteenth...
So, just how terrifying are the thirteen people at the top of the list?
At that moment, the Golden List in the Sky shimmered with light, revealing the life story of Golden Crocodile Douluo.
[Golden Crocodile Douluo, Martial Soul: Golden Crocodile King, Level 98 Power Attack Type Title Douluo.]
[One of his life's achievements: At level 90, he entered Sunset Forest alone and hunted down a 100,000-year-old soul beast—the Purple-Gold Terrorclaw Crocodile!]
The scene unfolds.
It was a dark swamp, where a middle-aged Golden Crocodile Douluo exuded an incomparably domineering aura.
Nine spirit rings shone behind him, and his Martial Soul True Form was activated, transforming him into a giant golden crocodile king with a body length of over fifty meters!
Opposite him, a much larger crocodile, its body covered in purple-gold scales and its claws gleaming with a cold light, was letting out a deafening roar.
A breathtaking battle unfolded in the sky.
The Golden Crocodile King and the Purple Gold Devilclaw Crocodile fought fiercely, each collision causing the earth to tremble and the swamp to churn.
Finally, the scene freezes on Golden Crocodile Douluo using his indestructible crocodile tail to whip the head of Purple Gold Devil Claw Crocodile to pieces!
"The Second Master is mighty!"
"That's incredible! A level 90 character can solo a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
Seeing this, the morale of the Spirit Hall's side was instantly ignited, reaching an unprecedented peak!
...
On the other hand, the Heavenly Dou Alliance's faces were grave, and their hearts were filled with fear.
"Golden Crocodile King... the quality of this martial soul is in no way inferior to the inherited martial soul of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!" Yu Yuanzhen said in a deep voice.
Yu Xiaogang's expression was not good, and he snorted coldly.
"Hmph, it's just because of the suppression of martial spirit."
That purple-gold devilclaw crocodile, its bloodline was countered by his golden crocodile king, and it could only unleash 70% of its strength.
Even so, anyone could hear the sourness in his tone.
Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's camp.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin gazed at the scene in the sky and sighed deeply.
"It really was him."
"I had a suspicion before that the fourteenth place was very likely to be the Golden Crocodile."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong said with a serious expression: "Old man, Golden Crocodile is already level 98. If he gets the Golden Ranking reward and level up, he will be a level 99 Limit Douluo!"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes were also filled with worry.
The Spirit Hall was inherently stronger than them.
Now that Golden Crocodile Douluo has gained another opportunity, the balance of power has shifted, making the course of this war even more unpredictable.
All his plans were for the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's inheritance.
The image of that figure in white involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
That... Your Majesty.
A bitter feeling welled up in Ning Fengzhi's heart.
In the eyes of such beings, neither the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect nor the two great empires are any different from ants.
Moreover, where should I go to find him and seek his protection?
...
Deep within the Papal Palace in Wuhun City.
Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent long gown, sat quietly on the throne.
Her aura was more profound and powerful than before, with faint purple-black divine power fluctuations flowing around her.
Before long, she will be able to fully inherit the position of Rakshasa God.
She raised her beautiful face, looked at the scene in the sky, and smiled slightly.
"Golden Crocodile..."
She never doubted the loyalty of this second priest.
The other party will give everything for the Spirit Hall.
"Now that I have this opportunity, it is a certainty that I will reach the Limit Douluo realm."
"Perhaps... there is still a sliver of a chance to become a god in the future."
A glint of light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Once my Spirit Hall unifies the continent, I will fight for your chance to become a god."
"The Spirit Hall will prevail!"
...
at the same time.
On a secluded path leading to Jialing Pass.
Tang Chen was walking slowly forward, and on his arm, a small and exquisite blue silver vine was swaying gently.
"Chen'er, are we just going to the Spirit Hall like this?"
Ah Yin's voice rang directly in Tang Chen's mind.
Tang Chen was still a little worried that his mother would harbor hatred towards everyone in the Spirit Hall.
"Mother, don't you hate them?"
