Chapter 3: Is Xiao Wu destined for the top three? Is Qian Renxue destined for first place?
Dugu Yan recalled the scene when she met Dean Lu Xia.
At that time, she was in Tiandou City, preparing to go find her grandfather, but she never expected to run into Lu Xia.
She was utterly astonished to find such a handsome man in the world.
She stood there stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses.
Lu Xia had already arrived in front of her. "Would you like to study at Qingyun Academy? It's a million times better than Tiandou Royal Academy!"
He even took her hand, making her feel that he was radiating light, and she could only see him.
He completely captivated her.
She was willing to do whatever Lu Xia said.
She just followed him blankly.
When Grandpa arrived nearby, he was dumbfounded.
He never expected that someone would dare to abduct his granddaughter in broad daylight.
It immediately descended from the sky, its hand transforming into a claw, its fingernails swirling with dark purple poisonous gas, and reached towards Lu Xia.
Lu Xia stood still, letting his grandfather's claws lash out, but instead grabbed the golden light on Lu Xia's body.
Grandpa scratched his fingernails off and his hands bled.
Lu Xia was completely unharmed.
Grandpa was instead flung away by the golden light.
Then, Grandpa was conquered by Lu Xia's mysterious and powerful strength, and he came to Qingyun Dao Academy.
...
at the same time.
The Crown Prince's Palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, looked up at the Heavenly Ranking in the sky, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The power emanating from the Heavenly Ranking seemed to be even greater than that of the Angel God.
The list of most beautiful women.
It's about ranking and rewarding the most beautiful women in the Douluo Continent.
How could something so boring happen?
I think I'm pretty, I hope I won't make the list?
If his identity is exposed, his twenty years of covert operations will be in vain.
Qian Renxue naturally didn't want to be exposed or be on the list.
Of course, this is just her guess, and we'll have to wait and see what the outcome will be.
If only her name, Qian Renxue, is revealed, then receiving a reward would be ideal.
If that's the case, we should be able to make it into the top ten, right?
Qian Renxue also often looked at her own appearance in the mirror.
It seems alright.
Elder Serpent Spear also praised her for her beauty.
Absolutely stunningly beautiful.
However, she knew that Elder Serpent Spear was likely exaggerating.
Of course, Grandpa had also seen her portrait as a woman and praised her as the most beautiful woman in the Douluo Continent.
She was secretly delighted, but whether she made the list depended on how the Heavenly Ranking would be announced.
Everyone has a slightly different perspective.
...
Spirit Hall.
Wearing a purple papal robe, Bibi Dong sat alone on her throne, gazing at the Heavenly Ranking above.
The power emanating from the Heavenly Ranking was extremely terrifying, even surpassing the power of the Rakshasa God.
Vast yet ethereal.
Bibi Dong gazed silently at the Heavenly Ranking, her grip on the scepter tightening slightly.
With her stunning beauty, even at her current age, she still looks extremely young, with beautiful and fair skin.
Ranking in the top three shouldn't be a problem, right?
After all, she was the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and her temperament was absolutely top-notch in the Douluo Continent.
It could even be said that no one can compare.
However, they are not as young as those eighteen-year-old girls.
Being young can sometimes be an advantage.
She also thought of Hu Liena; with her looks, she could easily make the list and be in the top fifteen.
However, what the reward will be is unknown.
After all, the Spirit Hall has all sorts of treasures.
Of course, there are no soul bones or external soul bones that are over 50,000 years old, or soul rings or soul bones that are over 100,000 years old.
Then, she thought of that bastard child who had been lurking in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace for twenty years. That bastard child had her own appearance and bloodline, as well as the bloodline of the Angel Clan.
She's certainly not bad-looking!
After all, she had seen Qian Renxue's portrait.
She is extremely beautiful and should also be in the top ten.
There should be three people from the Spirit Hall who could be on the list.
She was somewhat expectant.
...
Offering Hall.
Qian Daoliu and Jin E Gongfeng stood in the main hall, looking up at the Heavenly Ranking that radiated a sacred golden light in the sky.
The Golden Crocodile Elder was strong and robust, wearing golden scale armor and sporting a full head of white hair. Despite being the Second Elder, he didn't appear younger than the First Elder, Qian Daoliu; in fact, he was thirty or forty years older than Qian Daoliu.
He gazed at the Heavenly Ranking and exclaimed excitedly:
"Qian Daoliu, Xue'er is so beautiful, she definitely deserves to be on the list. Plus, with the blood of an angel, her temperament is superb. She is undoubtedly the number one beauty."
I wonder what the rewards are?
The Pope and his disciple Hu Liena may also be on the list, bringing the total number of Spirit Hall members on the list to three—a truly unprecedented situation in the Douluo Continent!
"That makes sense. The Spirit Hall will be the big winner this time."
The energy emanating from that ranking list surpassed even the power of angels, indicating that the rewards were anything but ordinary.
Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement with Jin E's words, but a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
"Then what are you still worried about, Qian Daoliu?"
The golden crocodile offering asked, somewhat puzzled.
"If Xue'er makes the list, won't her identity be exposed? Then all those years of her covert work would be for nothing..."
Qian Daoliu shook his head and said.
"We'll see how their rankings are announced then, and that'll tell us whether Xue'er's identity will be exposed! Then we can take action."
Jin'e noticed Qian Daoliu's worry; it was a mixture of love and concern for his granddaughter.
...
Shrek Academy.
Wearing a black cloth coat, with a buzz cut and a short beard, Yu Xiaogang looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back.
Standing beside him were a boy with short black hair and a girl wearing a pink skirt and with braids.
They all looked up at the celestial list in the sky.
They were all so shocked that their mouths were slightly agape.
"On the list of beauties, Bibi Dong... she should be eligible to be on the list, right?"
Yu Xiaogang thought back to his innocent and naive youth, to that pure and stunningly beautiful girl who had captivated him.
It remains unbelievably beautiful even today.
But he himself was old and frail.
He shook his head as he recalled the past, regretting that he had been too timid and irresponsible back then.
But it was too late for regrets.
Then, I thought of Liu Erlong again.
While adventuring in the martial world, he and Flander encountered the fiery Liu Erlong.
"Erlong should be able to make the list!"
Flander, with his hooked nose, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, walked over, and stood in front of Yu Xiaogang.
"Maybe!"
Yu Xiaogang wasn't sure either. Although Liu Erlong was extremely beautiful when she was young, he hadn't seen her for a long time and didn't know anymore.
"Xiao Wu should be able to make it into the top three!"
Tang San suddenly looked at Xiao Wu beside him and said.
"Hmm, Xiao Wu is indeed beautiful; perhaps she can make the list!"
Yu Xiaogang thinks Xiao Wu deserves to be on the list, but as for the top three, that's not certain.
After all, there are many beautiful women in Douluo Continent.
However, Xiao Wu is only cute; she hasn't fully grown yet.
"Top three? Third Brother, I'm happy as long as I make the list, the exact ranking doesn't matter!"
Xiao Wu is quite modest.
"Xiao Wu is the most beautiful in my eyes!"
Tang San said earnestly, his eyes fixed on the list of successful candidates.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong gazed at the enormous, mysterious Heavenly Ranking in the sky.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly: "Interesting, there's even a list of beauties. I wonder if Rongrong can make it onto the list."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu, these two titled Douluo, the two pillar gods of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong thought of Rong Rong and a kind smile appeared on her face: "Our Rong Rong is so beautiful, she could definitely be in the top five!"
"Hmm, she could easily be in the top three. I just wonder how Rongrong is doing at that Taoist academy!"
Whenever Chen Xin thought of Rongrong, he would think of the boy named Lu Xia, and his hands would itch with desire. He really wanted to rush over and spar with that boy right away.
However, he also sensed that the boy was extremely dangerous.
