The Ranking's Top Spot Announced, Shocking the World!

Huang Tian and Liu Erlong stood there, watching Tang Yuehua accept Xue Ye's reward. He said nothing. Although he did not lack spiritual medicine, this was Moonlight Pavilion, with hundreds of nobles watching. It would not be good for him to refuse aloud, as it would only bring Tang Yuehua a bad reputation.

After seeing Tang Yuehua accept the gift, Huang Tian walked forward with a smile, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and said, "I am Huang Tian, Tang Yuehua's husband. Many thanks to Your Majesty for your reward."

Prince Xue Xing stepped forward and harshly rebuked him, "How dare you! You are neither a disciple of a Major Sect nor the holder of a noble title, yet you dare speak to Xue Ye of our Heaven Dou Empire like this?"

Xue Ye frowned and said to Prince Xue Xing, "Shut up. Stop flaunting your authority as a prince at every turn. I am speaking here—why are you interrupting? Step back!"

Prince Xue Xing hurriedly said, "Imperial Brother, this younger brother was at fault. I will withdraw at once."

Faced with Xue Ye's reprimand, Prince Xue Xing did not dare say another word and immediately withdrew. He knew exactly what kind of person his elder brother was.

Xue Ye looked at Huang Tian in confusion. This young man was outrageously handsome. Back in his youth, Xue Ye had been the most handsome man in the empire, yet before this beautiful man claiming to be Tang Yuehua's husband, even he felt somewhat inferior. Tang Yuehua had lived in the imperial city for over thirty years, and he had never heard that she had married. Yet she showed no resistance while this handsome man held her in his arms. It seemed that he truly was Tang Yuehua's husband.

To confirm whether it was true, Xue Ye still asked, "Oh? I have known Pavilion Master Tang for over thirty years, yet I have never heard of her marrying. You are also completely unfamiliar to me; I have never seen you before. May I ask which family's outstanding talent you are, to have married a beauty such as Pavilion Master Tang?"

Huang Tian smiled and said, "I am not a disciple of any sect, merely an unremarkable, ordinary soul master. Yuehua and I truly love each other, and we quietly held our wedding over two years ago. We failed to notify Your Majesty and the assembled nobles to attend our wedding. That was our oversight, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive us."

Xue Ye's expression changed. When he was young, he had always been wary of the Clear Sky Sect and had not dared bring a beauty like Tang Yuehua into his harem. Over the past thirty years, he had gradually abandoned that desire as he grew older, but that did not mean he had stopped paying attention to Tang Yuehua.

Just as Xue Ye was about to say something, the doors to the hall were suddenly shoved open from outside. Someone shouted, "The first place on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking has finally been announced! His name is Huang Tian, a Level 108 soul master! The Heavenly Dao's reward is two additional Divine Rings!"

"Level 108? Wasn't it said that one became a god at Level 100?"

"What? Two Divine Rings? Doesn't that mean he has already become a god?"

"He must have become a god long ago. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dao reward him with two Divine Rings?"

"Wait, the top prodigy is called Huang Tian? Isn't he called Huang Tian?" A noble pointed at Huang Tian in shock.

Qian Renxue walked over and, after bowing to Xue Ye, said, "Father, Aunt Yuehua, the first place on the ranking has been announced. His name is the same as Uncle-in-law's. Could Uncle-in-law be the person on the ranking?"

Before Xue Ye and Tang Yuehua, Qian Renxue appeared calm and polite. Even though Huang Tian looked younger than she did, she directly addressed him as Uncle-in-law.

Xue Ye looked at Huang Tian and asked, "Huang Tian, are you the first place on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking?"

Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong, and everyone present turned their gazes toward Huang Tian, wanting to know the answer.

Huang Tian knew that after the Peerless Prodigy Ranking, other rankings would surely be announced one after another. By then, his identity would be exposed anyway, so he might as well reveal it now.

He smiled and nodded. "That is correct. This Seat is Huang Tian, the first-ranked prodigy!"

After saying that, Huang Tian unleashed his aura. A terrifying pressure instantly forced everyone present to the ground. Nine hundred-thousand-year red Soul Rings appeared around him, revolving around his body.

"Nine hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings! Is this the strength of the number one prodigy? As expected of the third person in twenty thousand years to become a god at Level 100!"

Qian Renxue clenched her fists and desperately resisted the crushing pressure. Although she knew Huang Tian's aura was not directed at her, her legs were nearly forced to kneel beneath it. A thought flashed through her mind: should she use Soul Power to resist this aura? But if she used Soul Power, her strength would be exposed, and she would no longer be able to maintain the identity of Xue Qinghe. After all, how could a prince who was not a prodigy suddenly become a Title Douluo? There had to be something suspicious about that.

She gritted her teeth and held on. Then, the next second, that powerful aura vanished. Qian Renxue took several heavy breaths, cold sweat streaming down her back. This man's strength was simply too terrifying. If Spirit Hall provoked this man, they would likely be destroyed in an instant. No, she had to quickly send this intelligence back to Spirit City and tell them to restrain themselves. Whoever dared bring trouble to their doorstep would be executed on the spot!

After Huang Tian withdrew his nine Soul Rings and reined in his aura, he said with a beaming smile, "Everyone, I truly am just an unremarkable, ordinary soul master. My Soul Power Level is only a little higher, so please do not make such a fuss!"

Damn, was he really this shameless? You are a Level 108 soul master, a newly born deity. Now that you have revealed yourself, how could we possibly still regard you as an ordinary soul master?

All the nobles present had this thought at once, but none dared show it. They merely treated it as the strange amusement of an expert.

Seeing the constipated expressions on everyone's faces, Huang Tian felt greatly pleased. Using one's power to suppress others truly was an expert's favorite pastime. Seeing others stagger about in disarray was simply satisfying.

Outside the Pontiff's Palace in Spirit City, Bibi Dong stood there. At last, she saw the name and strength of the first-ranked prodigy. She could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart; even her breathing became somewhat rapid. Her ample chest rose and fell sharply twice, making her graceful figure appear exceptionally alluring. Unfortunately, everyone had their heads lowered as they knelt on one knee. Not a single person dared raise their head to admire that beautiful sight, for fear of bringing about their own deaths.

Bibi Dong murmured, "The third person in twenty thousand years to become a god at Level 100... I wonder how he achieved it? Did he inherit and fuse with some deity's divine position, or did he break through on his own? I truly want to meet him immediately and ask about the secret of breaking through Level 100 to become a god."

As a proud woman, she would never permit anyone to stand above her. Yet a new deity had suddenly appeared, and she found it difficult to accept. Bibi Dong could tolerate having less talent than others, but the one thing she could not tolerate was someone being stronger than her. If it had been anyone else, she would have already developed the intention to kill him. But this was a powerful existence who had become a god. Even if she joined forces with countless Peerless Title Douluo, she would be unable to kill him.

Thinking of how she had previously sent Yue Guan and Gui Mei to search for God's Remnant Thought, Bibi Dong could not help revealing a faint smile. As long as she obtained God's Remnant Thought, she could uncover the secret to breaking through Level 100 and becoming a god. Then she would become the fourth person in the world to attain godhood, and her confidence in founding a nation and becoming an empress would grow even stronger.
