At this moment, three glittering golden names had already appeared on the Heavenly Ranking.
The strongest overall talents, with strength disregarded and only talent considered.
Talent First: Bibi Dong!
Granted: All soul bone and soul ring ages increased by twenty thousand years, one Heaven-sent Soul Ring, and martial soul quality increased by twenty percent!
Talent Second: Tang San!
Granted: Bloodline awakened, martial soul quality increased by twenty percent, Soul Power increased by five levels, and one Heaven-sent Soul Ring.
Talent Third: Qian Renxue!
Granted: One Heaven-sent Soul Ring, Soul Power increased by five levels, and martial soul quality increased by twenty percent.
The Golden Ranking gradually unfolded, but Luo Chuan was no longer in the mood to keep watching. First place on the Heavenly Ranking was not him.
"Ding! Ranking Slaughter Module loaded successfully."
"System, explain it." Luo Chuan turned his attention back to the system. The Heavenly Dao had clearly created this ranking to raise Douluo Continent's strength and deal with him, an outsider. The system was what he relied on to remain invincible in Douluo Continent.
"Ding! The Ranking Slaughter Module targets the Heavenly Dao Ranking. There is no host above the Heavenly Dao Ranking. The host only needs to humiliate the Heavenly Dao Ranking and undermine its authority to obtain system rewards."
"It's that simple? Heavenly Dao wants to screw with me, and I can stop it?"
"Yes, it's that simple. Heavenly Dao is restrained by the system, so host, act without worry!" The system's voice carried anger, as though it was deeply displeased by Heavenly Dao's provocation.
But there was also a hint of stifled frustration in it. Maybe it had lost a fight before.
Luo Chuan nodded slightly. Slapping Heavenly Dao in the face and slaughtering its ranking... just thinking about it was damn exciting.
In the wilderness, inside a small tent, Xiao Wu watched the changes on the Golden Ranking while also observing Tang San. After the third place had been revealed, Tang San had sat cross-legged and begun cultivating. The Blue Silver Emperor, covered in golden patterns, wrapped around him, and his aura within grew increasingly powerful.
"Xiao San, your talent is actually this strong." Xiao Wu murmured as she looked at the Golden Ranking in midair. "What rank could I be?"
At Shrek Academy, the three best friends gathered together and watched the Heavenly Ranking. Dai Mubai clenched his fists, yearning inwardly. If I make the ranking, will the empire change its inheritance rules?
Oscar also stared at the gradually unfolding Golden Ranking, hoping to see his own name soon.
Yet the Golden Ranking seemed to have heard Oscar's call, and the next rank fully appeared.
Talent Fourth: Oscar!
Granted: Martial soul quality increased by fifteen percent, Soul Power increased by five levels, and one Heaven-sent Soul Ring.
"Holy shit!!!"
Ma Hongjun's mouth hung wide enough to fit eight eggs, and his jaw nearly hit the floor.
"Xiao Ao, y-you're actually fourth!!"
They did not know the people before him, but Douluo Continent was vast. It was perfectly normal for some people to surpass them. But Oscar... who could believe that this Big Sausage Uncle could rank fourth?
Oscar stared blankly into the air. Even he could not believe that his talent was so powerful.
Naturally, Luo Chuan saw Oscar's name. After thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly. He deserved it!
A food-system soul master with Innate Full Soul Power, who later even drew the God of Food into personally offering him an inheritance—one of a kind in the world.
"Huh? Something's not right. I admit that Oscar kid has good talent, but why hasn't your name appeared before his?" Flender looked at Luo Chuan in astonishment. Others might not know this kid's talent, but he certainly did.
There was no need to mention Innate Full Soul Power. This kid could lounge in the sun all day and break through effortlessly. At only eleven years old, he was already a level thirty-one Soul Elder, and his martial soul was even—
"Unreasonable." Flender shook his head, his gaze toward the Heavenly Dao Ranking gaining a trace more suspicion.
Luo Chuan said nothing. At that moment, he was considering how to slaughter this Heavenly Dao Ranking.
At Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong sat upon the Pope Throne. She raised her head, murderous intent stirring in her eyes. "Tang San... his surname is Tang!"
The Heavenly Ranking continued to reveal its entries, and immediately afterward, fifth place appeared.
Talent Fifth: Tang Hao!
Granted: All soul ring and soul bone ages increased by ten thousand years, injuries fully healed, Soul Power increased by one level, and martial soul quality increased by fifteen percent!
Boom!!
An overwhelming aura erupted from the Pope Palace. Bibi Dong's chilling voice made the Cardinals waiting outside lower their heads and kneel, not daring to rise for a long time.
"Clear Sky Sect!"
Within the Worship Hall, Qiandao Liu knelt devoutly before the Angel God Statue and softly uttered three words.
Talent Sixth: Tang Chen!
Granted: All soul ring and soul bone ages increased by ten thousand years, and martial soul quality increased by fifteen percent.
"Tang San, second on the talent ranking; Tang Hao, the youngest Titled Douluo in history; Tang Chen, the God of Earth! Good, good, good! What a Clear Sky Sect, what a Clear Sky! One sect having two Douluo wasn't enough—they had to seize three such high-ranking spots on the Heavenly Ranking!" Within Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's voice grew colder and colder. Even the Worship Hall gave rise to a chaotic fluctuation of Soul Power.
Luo Chuan, meanwhile, acted as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Make trouble, go on and make trouble. Only when you all start fighting will I have an opportunity!"
"As expected of the Clear Sky Sect. Two people actually made the ranking, fifth and sixth respectively." Flender adjusted his glasses, glanced at Luo Chuan again, and said irritably, "You brat, aren't you curious why you haven't made the ranking yet?"
"Heaven is jealous." Luo Chuan's lips curled slightly, making Flender feel like punching the kid.
Of his two disciples, Ma Hongjun was an oddball—the Brothel Phoenix. As for Luo Chuan, he simply did not treat him as a teacher at all.
The rankings were revealed faster and faster. Bo Saixi was seventh in talent, Qiandao Liu eighth... Xiao Wu was tenth.
Then Shui Binger, Feng Xiaotian, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Ma Hongjun, Hu Liena, and others appeared on the ranking one after another.
There were both already-titled powerhouses and prodigies never mentioned in the original work.
At Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai wore a complicated expression. His talent could only rank thirtieth? Even Ma Hongjun's talent ranked twentieth!
Most importantly, Zhu Zhuqing's talent was ahead of his. That was completely unreasonable!
The only thing that gave him some comfort was that Luo Chuan had not made the ranking.
Luo Chuan looked over the complete ranking. Yu Tianxin was forty-ninth, and his reward was only one level of Soul Power.
Judging by the rankings, Heavenly Dao should have calculated cultivation talent. Martial souls might have been factored in, but they definitely were not the main criterion. Otherwise, Zhu Zhuqing's talent would not have surpassed Dai Mubai's.
"You really aren't on it!" Flender stared blankly at Luo Chuan, but Luo Chuan merely shook his head indifferently. "We're not on the same level. This ranking was ultimately made for mortals like you."
Flender watched Luo Chuan leave the shop and head toward Shrek. He glanced once more at the Golden Ranking, then shook his head. "Heavenly Dao is unfair!"
After returning to Shrek, Luo Chuan saw the three best friends discussing something in the open space before the dormitory.
"Isn't this our righteous gentleman? What's wrong, did something make you unhappy?" When Dai Mubai saw Luo Chuan, his previous disappointment was instantly swept away. Douluo Continent was so vast, and there were so many soul masters. Being ranked thirtieth in talent was enough for him to look down upon others of his generation!
Now that Luo Chuan had not made the ranking, as his "classmate," should he not comfort him? Who told Luo Chuan to be so "self-righteous" and refuse to join their debauchery?
How should he slaughter the ranking? Naturally, by crushing Tang San! And there was also the ranking itself—everyone had their own views. Tang San had great fortune, so ranking second was arguably reasonable.
