Clear Sky Hammer, a Surprising Ranking

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Just then, the ranking list blazed with golden light.

The Martial Soul Ranking that everyone had been waiting for had finally arrived.

[Douluo Continent Martial Soul Ranking, Twentieth Place: Azure Flame Dragon!]

The twentieth line of the Golden Ranking ignited with scorching azure flames.

A magnificent dragon shadow coiled within the flames, its dragon scales flashing with an azure-gold sheen as it gave off powerful Dragon Might.

[Martial Soul: Azure Flame Dragon]

[Affiliated To: Xian Lin'er (Shrek Academy)]

[Martial Soul Assessment: Possesses both the powerful physical body of the dragon race and special wind-attribute power. Integrates offense and defense, with enormous potential. Its owner has developed it to an extremely high level, granting it extraordinary might. Comprehensive Assessment: ranked twentieth.]

[Reward: Azure Flame Dragon bloodline purified, wind-attribute power doubled, Soul Power circulation speed increased by ten percent!]

"Azure Flame Dragon! That's the Martial Soul of Martial God Douluo from Shrek Academy!"

"A Top-tier Beast Martial Soul! And it's only ranked twentieth?"

"Th-this Martial Soul Ranking's threshold is way too high!"

The Soul Masters across the continent erupted into an uproar.

Xian Lin'er's Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul was famed far and wide, and she herself was a Super Douluo with formidable strength.

Yet such a powerful Martial Soul could only just barely squeeze into the top twenty.

This gave many people a more direct, and far more terrifying, understanding of just how valuable a place on the Martial Soul Ranking was.

Shrek Academy.

When Xian Lin'er herself saw her Martial Soul appear on the ranking, she was first slightly stunned.

Then a complicated smile appeared on her face. There was relief in it, but even more solemnity.

"My Azure Flame Dragon is actually only twentieth."

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, his tone heavy. "Lin'er's Azure Flame Dragon is of extremely high quality. In our understanding, it should absolutely be able to enter the top fifteen Martial Souls on the continent, or even rank higher."

"Yet now it is only twentieth. It seems our previous understanding of Martial Souls was still far too limited."

"Some hidden sects and ancient clans may have inherited Martial Souls more terrifying than we imagined."

Mu En said slowly, "There is no need to belittle ourselves. Being listed is already an honor, but this also reminds us that although Shrek is the number one academy on the continent, it is by no means invincible under heaven."

"We must be even more open and take in more diverse talents."

Just then, the reward was issued!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A golden pillar of light containing pure wind-attribute origin power and the aura of the dragon race ignored all obstacles and accurately enveloped Xian Lin'er.

The energy within that pillar of light was gentle yet majestic, rapidly merging into every part of her body.

Finally, it gathered within her Martial Soul Origin.

Xian Lin'er could clearly feel that her Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul seemed to have been washed clean.

Some tiny impurities in her bloodline were removed, and her Dragon Might became even purer.

That azure wind-attribute power abruptly rose by an entire level, and its color became even deeper.

At its edges, there was even a faint trace of pale gold.

What surprised her even more was that the speed at which Soul Power circulated through her meridians had clearly increased by nearly ten percent!

Xian Lin'er could not help but release her Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul.

"Boom!"

An even more magnificent and mightier azure dragon phantom appeared behind her, and its scorching azure flames made the surrounding air twist slightly.

She clenched her fist, feeling the surging power within her body.

On her valiant face appeared a delighted smile that she could hardly suppress.

"What a wondrous reward!"

"It can actually directly improve the Martial Soul Origin and Soul Power circulation speed!"

"This Golden Ranking reward is truly incredible!"

For her, this reward meant that her reaction speed in battle and the frequency at which she released soul skills would both increase.

The boost to her strength was real!

When Mu En, Xuan Zi, and the others saw Xian Lin'er's strength increase, every one of them felt sincerely happy.

The stronger Xian Lin'er was, the stronger Shrek Academy was!

Before everyone could recover from the Azure Flame Dragon's ranking, the Golden Ranking Radiance flashed again.

[Douluo Continent Martial Soul Ranking, Nineteenth Place: Clear Sky Hammer!]

The nineteenth line of the Golden Ranking burst with a heavy, domineering black light, as if it could suppress everything!

The phantom of a massive war hammer, engraved with intricate patterns, appeared.

Even as a mere phantom, it gave off a terrifying sense of power, as if it could smash mountains and rivers apart!

[Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer]

[Affiliated To: Wang Dong (Shrek Academy)]

[Martial Soul Assessment: Number One Tool Spirit Under Heaven, the ultimate symbol of strength and destruction. Though its owner's current cultivation is still shallow and cannot fully unleash its might, the essence of this martial soul is extremely high, with boundless potential. Comprehensive Assessment: ranked nineteenth.]

[Reward: Clear Sky Hammer weight and density increased, strength amplification increased, Soul Power Increased by One Level, obtained inheritance of the battle skill "Earthquake Wave"!]

"The Clear Sky Hammer! It's the Clear Sky Hammer!"

"The Number One Tool Spirit Under Heaven! It actually—actually only ranked nineteenth?"

"Wang Dong? That genius youth from Shrek Academy? He's actually from the Clear Sky Sect?"

If the Azure Flame Dragon ranking twentieth had surprised people, then the Clear Sky Hammer ranking nineteenth left the entire continent in disbelief!

This was the tool martial soul known as number one under heaven in attack power ten thousand years ago!

Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe abruptly looked out the window, his gaze seeming able to pierce through layer after layer of buildings.

He saw Wang Dong, who was cultivating in the Outer Court.

His eyes filled with shock and sudden understanding. "Clear Sky Hammer, Wang Dong—so that's how it is!"

"No wonder his talent is so astonishing. He's actually a direct-line inheritor of the Clear Sky Sect!"

"Twin Martial Souls. He has another martial soul!"

The incomparably dazzling Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul belonging to Wang Dong'er immediately surfaced in his mind.

His heart instantly burned with excitement!

"Twin Martial Souls—one is the Clear Sky Hammer, and the other is definitely no ordinary thing either! This child... this child's future is limitless!"

"He must be nurtured as a priority!"

Xian Lin'er also sighed. "The Clear Sky Hammer is only ranked nineteenth. This Martial Soul Ranking truly is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

Xuan Zi smacked his lips. "A little fellow from the Clear Sky Sect, hehe. Now this is getting interesting."

Clear Sky Sect.

Atop the mountain peak, the Titan Giant Ape looked at the Golden Ranking and said in a muffled voice, "Big Brother, it's Dong'er's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul! But why is it only ranked nineteenth? Did they get it wrong?"

Niu Tian said steadily, "The Golden Ranking's assessment has its own reasoning. That child Dong'er's cultivation is still shallow and she cannot fully display the Clear Sky Hammer's true might, so it's normal for the ranking to be a little lower."

"Being able to make the list and obtain a reward is already a fortunate thing. It seems my Clear Sky Sect has been silent for too long. It's time to let the younger generation go out and see the world."

While the Various Continental Powers were shocked by the Clear Sky Hammer's ranking, they also each committed the name "Wang Dong" to memory.

An inheritor of the Clear Sky Sect had appeared at Shrek.

And he had Twin Martial Souls. That alone was explosive news.

Shrek Academy, Outer Court dormitory area.

Wang Dong'er was meditating, trying to harmonize the auras of the Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Clear Sky Hammer, the two powerful martial souls within her body.

When the black-light reward representing the Clear Sky Hammer descended, and a heavy, incomparably pure force poured into her body, her delicate frame trembled slightly.

Her soul power directly increased by one level!

Moreover, she felt as if her Clear Sky Hammer had been tempered a thousand times over.

It had become even heavier, even more solid.

When she swung it, that sensation of shaking everything became clearer than ever.

At the same time, an inheritance for a battle skill called "Earthquake Wave" naturally appeared in her mind.

Although with her current cultivation she still could not fully unleash it, its subtlety and powerful destructive power were already evident.
