Ants Shaking the Heavens, Overestimating Themselves!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin stood atop the mountain, looking toward the Sky Screen.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, Fengzhi offers his congratulations in advance!"

Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands toward Chen Xin and Gu Rong, his face full of smiles.

There were only a handful of Titled Douluo across the entire Douluo Continent.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong would surely have a place on the Top Ten Hidden Experts List.

The stronger they were, the better it would be for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Beneath his smile, a subtle trace of worry flashed through Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

The strong only grew stronger.

Those on the list would receive rewards.

The higher-ranked the expert, the more abundant the reward.

After receiving those rewards, they would instead widen the gap between themselves and those below them.

How could Ning Fengzhi not be deeply worried when he thought of that?

Gu Rong chuckled happily, failing to notice Ning Fengzhi's concerns as he spoke to Chen Xin.

"Sword bastard, once I get the list's reward, let's have another match!"

Chen Xin stood with his hands behind his back and glanced sideways at Gu Rong.

"I'll still be stronger than you, old bones."

Chen Xin acknowledged Gu Rong's strength.

In his view, Gu Rong making it onto the list was a certainty.

Unfortunately, his father and grandfather had passed away. Otherwise, they would certainly have had places on the list as well.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, who do you think can make it onto the list?"

Breaking the silence, Ning Fengzhi asked.

He already had a rough idea in mind. He merely wanted to hear whether the two had any other suggestions.

"That old dragon should have no problem making it onto the list."

Gu Rong looked in a certain direction and murmured.

The old dragon he referred to was not an actual dragon.

It was Yu Yuanzhen, the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Top Three Sects.

In a one-on-one fight, Gu Rong might not even be Yu Yuanzhen's match. An expert like that should have no problem getting on the list.

"The Clear Sky Twins, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao."

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were known together as the Clear Sky Twins. After Tang Hao broke through to become a Titled Douluo, he severely injured the former Pope, who eventually died of his wounds.

Tang Xiao was now the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. He was ten years older than Tang Hao, and their strength should have been roughly equal.

"If that man is still alive, he will surely rank first."

Chen Xin spoke with a solemn expression, intense battle intent flickering in his eyes.

"Sword bastard, you mean?"

First place?

Who exactly was it that even someone as proud as Chen Xin would say that, so long as he was not dead, he would certainly rank first?

"The former former Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu!"

"My father once challenged him. At the time, my father was Level 97, yet Qian Daoliu crushed him."

"Even after temporarily breaking through to Level 98, my father was still no match for Qian Daoliu."

"Qian Daoliu is only one step away from Becoming a God."

"His Soul Power Level is as high as Level 99!"

Upon hearing this,

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

A Level 99 Peerless Douluo—such an existence ranking first made perfect sense.

They had never expected Chen Xin's father to have been such a terrifying Level 97... no, Level 98 existence.

"Uncle Jian, your father..."

"Died."

Ning Fengzhi did not continue asking. He knew that only a Level 99 Qian Daoliu could kill a Level 98 expert.

Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi seemed to notice something. His brows furrowed as he stared intently at those words.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, do you think there's a possibility..."

As he said this, Ning Fengzhi's entire body trembled, his eyes fixed on the Sky Screen.

"Fengzhi, what is it?"

The two asked in unison.

"The experts evaluated by this Sky Screen may not all be humans!"

"Its standard of evaluation is combat power."

"Compared with human Titled Douluo, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts possess even greater combat power."

Titled Douluo corresponded to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, but ordinary Titled Douluo were simply no match for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

If they encountered one alone, all they could do was flee for their lives.

Only several Titled Douluo joining forces would have a chance of hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

If the experts assessed by this list included powerful Soul Beasts,

then Chen Xin and Gu Rong's chances of getting on the list would be even lower!

Who knew how many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts existed in this world?

Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a look, melancholy flashing through their eyes.

Probably... not, right?

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

The lake water glimmered with a dim light, sending faint ripples across its surface from time to time.

A group of humanoid creatures gathered here.

At their head stood a middle-aged man with black hair, golden eyes, and black robes.

As he watched the Sky Screen, a trace of worry flashed through his golden pupils.

He could be exposed, but Master could not!

Where the hell had this damned Sky Screen come from?

As for the Sky Screen's rewards, the middle-aged man disdained them.

No matter how good the rewards were, they were not as important as Master's safety.

"Di Tian, have you discovered anything?"

A woman in an emerald-green gown stood beside Di Tian. Her exquisite face was free of makeup.

Her voice was gentle, and her entire being appeared exceptionally mild.

"I only see danger."

Di Tian spoke with a grave expression.

"Danger? What danger is there!"

A burly man said disdainfully.

"I'll tear it apart myself!"

After saying that, no one stopped the burly man as he transformed into a giant bear more than thirty meters tall.

The giant bear had long arms, and its claws even extended to the ground.

"Sky-Tearing Claw!"

Facing the Sky Screen, the giant bear roared and swiped his right claw toward it.

Five dark-golden streaks of energy shot from his claws, as though they intended to tear apart the entire sky.

Just as the energy claw strike seemed about to touch the Sky Screen, it became unable to reach it.

The energy claw strike and the Sky Screen seemed eternally separated by the tiniest distance.

This sight left the Fierce Beasts stunned.

If it could not be attacked, then it should at least be possible to pass directly through the Sky Screen. Why did it always seem to be just a tiny distance away?

Was it giving them hope only to make them despair?

"It's useless. I tried it with Dragon God Claw."

Di Tian's expression did not change as he spoke to himself.

Giant Bear: "???"

You black-hearted dragon, why didn't you say so earlier!

If he had said so earlier, he would not have embarrassed himself like this.

Just then, the Sky-Tearing Claw suddenly changed direction and shot toward the giant bear.

It was even several times faster than when the giant bear had launched the attack.

"???"

"I tested it once and was severely injured by Dragon God Claw."

Di Tian continued.

Giant Bear: "..."

Wasn't this setting a bear up?

With a puff, the giant bear fell to the ground. Five claw marks appeared across his body—the very attack he had launched earlier.

[Ants shaking the heavens, overestimating themselves.]

[Warning issued once!]

The giant bear fell silent for a moment. Ignoring his injuries, he asked Di Tian.

"What did this screen say to you?"

Di Tian glanced sideways at the giant bear twice and answered without changing expression.

"A slightly bigger ant attempting to shake the heavens, overestimating itself."

The giant bear froze, then said,

"Damn it, Di Tian, you really are a little stronger than me."

"We're both ants, but you're a slightly bigger ant."

"I don't even qualify to make this screen look at me, damn it."
