What Is a Titled Douluo?
"The review of the Douluo Continent ranking's tenth place is complete."
"Review reward: the age of all Soul Rings increased by ten thousand years."
Spirit Hall, the Pope's Hall.
A pillar of light from the sky screen descended from the ninth heaven, pouring down like a waterfall and enveloping Bibi Dong.
Warm, boundless energy surged into her limbs and bones. Bibi Dong trembled and instinctively activated her Martial Soul!
Buzz-!
Her Level 98 Soul Power burst outward, and the resulting shockwave shook the dome of the Pope's Hall.
The Soul Masters guarding the hall were all forced to their knees by the pressure, unable even to lift their heads.
The nine Soul Rings that appeared around her had all turned a solemn dark red. They rotated slowly, one after another, giving off a chilling air of death.
Nine rings, all red!
No, that wasn't right-
The last Soul Ring faintly glimmered with a divine golden light, flickering in and out of sight amid the dark red, as though it might transform into a legendary god-level Soul Ring at any moment.
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, and her fingers trembled slightly around her scepter.
She already had a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
But this reward from the sky screen had brought her ninth Soul Ring faintly to the threshold of the god level!
What did that mean?
It meant that the stages of the Rakshasa God Trial she would originally have had to risk her life to pass might... be crushed with greater ease.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.
The sky screen had said it.
Kill someone on the ranking, and you could take their place.
As long as she killed the people ranked above her before the rest of the Douluo Continent's powerhouse ranking was revealed, she could take their places.
As for that so-called Teyvat powerhouse ranking, she paid it no mind at all.
As far as she knew,
The person ranked first on a continent tucked away in some forgotten corner could be a Soul Douluo at most.
The reward from a ranking like that would probably be a hundred-year increase in Soul Power Level.
A hundred-year increase in Soul Power Level.
Heh.
To her as she was now, it could be said to be utterly useless.
No, it would be a negative improvement.
Meanwhile, in Teyvat.
In the livestream chat.
Raiden Ei: "What level is this Super Douluo? Weren't the cultivation levels Lord Lin Feng introduced to Teyvat just Third-Level God, Second-Level God, First-Level God, and God King?"
Columbina: "Never heard of it. Uh, I'm so sleepy. I really want to sleep."
Mavuika: "More than any of that, I want to know how to fix my motorcycle."
Venti: "Ehe, why don't you just go find Xilonen?"
Mavuika: "Lord Lin Feng assigned Xilonen to research Soul Tools."
Nahida: "Super Douluo is a level below godhood, a local cultivation level on the Douluo Continent."
Yae Miko (cultivated for a thousand years edition): "If that Bibi Dong found out that, with her strength, here on our Douluo Continent,
"she couldn't even beat me, a god's familiar, wouldn't she break down crying and throwing a tantrum? Boo-hoo-hoo, how pitiful."
Raiden Ei: "Crying and throwing a tantrum would use up a lot of stamina, wouldn't it?"
Raiden Ei: "She'd get even hungrier, wouldn't she?"
Raiden Ei: "So, do you know where on the Douluo Continent I can find good dango, milk, and sweets? I've been eating Teyvat's sweets for a thousand years, and I'm tired of them."
Nahida @Lin Feng: "Lord Lin Feng, the eighteenth-generation mobile 'Annihilation-class' level-eight Soul Tool charging gun has been completed through the joint research of Xilonen, Raiden Ei, myself, and others. It can be deployed across the Seven Nations at any time."
Meanwhile, in Heaven Dou City on the Douluo Continent, Lin Feng calmly took a sip of tea and replied with a single word: "Good."
He closed the chat group and prepared to go to sleep.
As for the Douluo Continent's livestream chat, he wasn't even interested in opening it.
Because they were too weak.
Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent's livestream chat.
[Yu Xiaogang: Our tenth place is already a Level 98 Super Douluo. Those people in Teyvat haven't been scared to tears, have they?]
[Tang San: Teacher, there's no need to say too much to a continent that doesn't even have a Soul Master system. It makes us look like we're bullying them.]
[Yu Yuanzhen: I think it would do them good to see the strength of our Douluo Continent. If they ask nicely on the sky screen, I wouldn't mind going over to give them a few pointers and teach them what real cultivation is.]
[Dai Mubai: If you ask me, Teyvat's "powerhouses" are probably huddled together right now, too scared to say a word. Hahahaha!]
[Yu Xiaogang: Where are the people from Teyvat? Why isn't a single one of you speaking? Have you been scared silly?]
[Yu Xiaogang: You'd better thank the sky screen. If not for it, you'd never have known that beyond every person stands a greater person, and beyond every heaven lies another heaven.]
[Ning Fengzhi: Xiaogang has a point. The Douluo Continent's Soul Master system is an orthodox great path forged through a thousand hammer blows. Teyvat doesn't even have Soul Rings. Even if it has one or two powerhouses, they're nothing but practitioners of unorthodox paths.]
[Yu Yuanzhen: If they're willing to submit and offer up the sky screen's rewards, my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could grant them the status of a dependent.]
[Tang San: We can't really blame them. Born in such a barren place, their horizons can only be so broad. If they saw even an ordinary Titled Douluo from the Douluo Continent, they'd probably think a heavenly god had descended to the mortal world.]
[Yu Xiaogang: Well said, Xiao San. Your horizons determine your ceiling, and your birth determines your fate!]
[Ning Fengzhi: If their tenth place can barely reach Soul Douluo, that'll be quite a spectacle.]
[Dai Mubai: Hahaha, when that happens, couldn't any Titled Douluo from our Douluo Continent sweep through their entire ranking?]
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.
"I didn't expect her to have come this far." Yu Xiaogang closed the chat group, sounding somewhat displeased.
Before he had finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang felt a sharp pain in his waist.
He couldn't help looking at Liu Erlong beside him. "Erlong, what's wrong?"
Liu Erlong glared fiercely at Yu Xiaogang. "Are you still thinking about that woman?"
Seeing this, Tang San and the others hurriedly moved aside.
"Erlong, you've got it wrong, you've got it wrong."
"I think you are thinking about that woman. You saw that I didn't make the ranking, and now you look down on me."
As Liu Erlong spoke, tears poured down her face.
Yu Xiaogang felt as though his head had split in two.
Meanwhile, in Teyvat.
As for the Douluo Continent's mockery,
They didn't care at all.
Everyone carried on with their own business.
Raiden Ei was busy researching how to cook as a group, Zhongli drank tea, walked his bird, and listened to opera, Venti was drinking, Mavuika was looking everywhere for someone to fix her motorcycle, and Klee was looking everywhere for places to play with Jumpy Dumpties.
Many had also chosen to get directly involved with the Douluo Continent.
