After Huang Tian diligently tilled the fields—no, after he and Liu Erlong, on the day before the ranking was announced, finally raised Liu Erlong's strength to the level of a level ninety-nine Demigod Title Douluo, he walked out of the room looking rosy-cheeked and refreshed. His own strength had also reached the mid-stage of a Third-Rank Deity.

In order to raise Liu Erlong's strength to that of a level ninety-nine Demigod Title Douluo before the ranking was revealed, he had neglected Tang Yuehua, who was far away at Moonlight Pavilion. For more than ten days straight, he had remained in Liu Erlong's room.

After leaving the room, Huang Tian directly teleported into Tang Yuehua's room at Moonlight Pavilion. Now that his strength had improved, he no longer needed to open a Spatial Tunnel to travel and could teleport directly. The distance was determined by Huang Tian's thoughts; teleporting hundreds of millions of kilometers at once was no problem, as long as his divine power could keep up with the expenditure.

"Yuehua, I'm here!"

Huang Tian saw Tang Yuehua sitting on a stool, her right arm resting on the table and her right hand supporting her delicate face. With her eyes closed, she looked every bit like a sleeping beauty.

Startled awake by Huang Tian's voice, Tang Yuehua opened her eyes and saw him in her room. Delighted, she said, "Husband, you came? You haven't visited me for twenty days. Have you stopped wanting me?" As she spoke, her tone gradually grew dejected.

Huang Tian wrapped an arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace. Patting the back of her hand with his left hand, he said, "Silly girl, you're my woman. How could I possibly not want you? Erlong and I have been in secluded cultivation these past few days, and we only just emerged. Didn't I come to see you right away?"

"Then next time, before you enter secluded cultivation, you have to send me word! If you're truly too busy, you can have one of your subordinates deliver a message." Tang Yuehua said reproachfully.

An embarrassed expression immediately appeared on Huang Tian's face. At the time, he had only been thinking about dual cultivation with Liu Erlong and had completely forgotten about sending word. He smiled and said, "Yuehua, it was your husband's fault. It slipped my mind for a moment. Don't worry, before I enter secluded cultivation next time, I'll definitely tell you. I won't let you worry about me so much that you can't even rest properly. You've grown much more haggard."

"Then, Husband, now that you've come today, you won't be leaving, right?" Tang Yuehua asked cautiously.

"Mm, I'm not leaving. I'll stay here with you for a while."

Huang Tian held Tang Yuehua in his arms and inhaled the fragrance she gave off. Desire suddenly rose within him, and his right hand began to roam restlessly across her back.

Sensing Huang Tian's movements, two patches of blush flew onto Tang Yuehua's cheeks. She said softly, "Husband, not here. If you want it, let's go to the bedroom."

"Mm." After saying that, he carried Tang Yuehua into the bedroom.

At noon the next day, golden light blazed across the sky. The radiance gathered in the air, forming an exquisitely beautiful golden scroll. Golden light burst forth, illuminating every inch of the Douluo Continent.

"Everyone, look! It's the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking. After a month, it has finally appeared."

"We've waited for a month. I wonder whether my Martial Soul can make the ranking. I want Heavenly Dao rewards too."

"Give it up. With your porcupine Martial Soul, you want to make the ranking? Then wouldn't my dirt wolf Martial Soul be able to rank in the top fifty?"

"Y-you... one must have dreams. What if they come true?"

"Hehe, who do you think you are? Heavenly Dao's illegitimate son? Keep dreaming."

In an alley, two middle-aged men dressed in coarse hemp clothes began arguing.

Nearly every major power was watching closely, wondering whether they would make the ranking once the Martial Soul Ranking was revealed.

At the Pontiff's Palace in Spirit City, Bibi Dong stood on the viewing platform in a purple robe, holding a scepter and wearing the pontiff's crown. Looking at the scroll in the sky, she murmured, "I wonder what rank I will place at when the Golden Ranking is announced this time?"

The Martial Soul Ranking—its name made it clear that those on the list were judged by their Martial Souls. Yet in this vast world, there were countless people with the same type of Martial Soul. However, only one person with a given Martial Soul could make the ranking, and that person would be the strongest among them.

At this moment, the entire Upper Three Sects were certain that members of their sects would appear on the ranking, perhaps even near the top. For example, the strongest Beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon; the strongest support Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda; and the strongest tool Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer—these were all powerful Martial Souls renowned throughout the continent.

However, the Douluo Continent was filled with talented people, and countless experts lurked in the shadows. No one knew whether they would be exposed by this Martial Soul Ranking. The previous Peerless Prodigy Ranking had revealed many experts who had not been famous across the continent, and this time would be no exception.

At that moment, the golden scroll slowly unfurled, revealing lines of bold, sweeping characters.

Martial Soul Ranking: Rank 100: Osler Martial Soul: Netherworld Leopard Reward: Soul Power increased by five levels; the age of any Soul Ring increased by one thousand years.

"My heavens, it directly raises Soul Power by five levels!"

"And this is only rank one hundred. I'm really curious about the rewards for the top ten!"

"If I could make the ranking even once, I could save years of cultivation!"

"It's increasing Soul Ring age again. I'm so jealous! Why isn't the person on the ranking me?"

"If a level ninety-nine Peerless Title Douluo received this reward, wouldn't they become a god on the spot?"

For a time, everyone from commoners to lofty nobles, as well as the leaders of various sects and academies, was utterly shocked.

Once the ranking rewards appeared, everyone went a little crazy, wishing they were the ones on the list.

More words appeared on the ranking, and several more names and Martial Souls were revealed to the public.

Rank 99: Huang Ming Martial Soul: Cave Red Spider. Reward: Soul Power increased by five levels; the age of any Soul Ring increased by one thousand years. Rank 60: Dai Mubai Martial Soul: Evil Eye White Tiger. Reward: Soul Power increased by five levels; the age of any Soul Ring increased by four thousand years.

"Damn, I finally see someone I know! He was ranked seventy-fifth on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking before, and now he's made the Martial Soul Ranking too. Damn it, I'd be happy if I could make even one ranking."

"So this is the Martial Soul ranking of a prodigy. It really is quite impressive."

At Blue Tyrant Academy, seeing Dai Mubai make the ranking, everyone happily congratulated him. "Boss Dai, congratulations on making the ranking again. This reward is even more terrifying than the one from the previous Peerless Prodigy Ranking."

Dai Mubai grinned from ear to ear and said, "Everyone's talent is stronger than mine, so you'll definitely make the ranking too. It's only a matter of what place you'll rank."

Sure enough, in the rankings that followed, aside from Xiao Wu and Oscar, Tang San, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun all made the ranking.

Fifty-Ninth Place: Zhu Zhuqing

Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat

Reward: Soul Power Level increased by five ranks; the age of any Soul Ring increased by five thousand years.

Thirtieth Place: Ma Hongjun

Martial Soul: Ultimate Fire Phoenix

Reward: Soul Power Level increased by five ranks; the age of any Soul Ring increased by seven thousand years.

Fifteenth Place: Tang San

Martial Soul: Blue Silver Emperor

Reward: Soul Power Level increased by five ranks; the age of any Soul Ring increased by ten thousand years.

Tenth Place: Ning Rongrong

Martial Soul: Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda

Reward: Soul Power Level increased by five ranks; the age of any Soul Ring increased by sixty thousand years.

Flender, Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, and the others all offered their congratulations upon seeing this. They grew even more confident about the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, which would be held in three months. After the rewards from this Martial Soul Ranking, the little monsters' Soul Power Levels would rise by another seven ranks or more. With five Soul Kings above level fifty-seven entering the competition, who could possibly stop their advance?

Tang San was somewhat puzzled. He asked his father, Tang Hao, who stood beside him, "Father, I clearly have Twin Martial Souls. Why didn't my Clear Sky Hammer make the ranking? Isn't it the strongest tool Martial Soul on the continent?"

Tang Hao said with a smile, "Forget your Clear Sky Hammer—even your uncle and I couldn't make the ranking. The only one who could was my grandfather, your great-grandfather Tang Chen. Only his Clear Sky Hammer was the strongest tool Martial Soul."

"So that's how it is." Tang San immediately understood after hearing Tang Hao's explanation.
