The special nature of ninth place made all beings speculate about eighth and seventh place.
Sky Invincible had taken ninth place.
Eighth and seventh should have been Sea Invincible and Land Invincible.
As for who ranked seventh and who ranked eighth, no one knew.
[TOP9 ranking concluded.] [Reward: All Spirit Ring age limits increased by 20,000 years.]
When the Sky Screen announced the reward, everyone gasped once again, making an outstanding contribution to warming the Extreme North Land.
Tenth place: all Spirit Ring age limits increased by 10,000 years.
Ninth place: all Spirit Ring age limits increased by 20,000 years.
Could the first-place reward perhaps increase all age limits by 100,000 years?
Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.
Would the strong truly only grow stronger?
Bibi Dong's face darkened when she saw Qian Daoliu receive this reward.
She had thought the distance between herself and Qian Daoliu had narrowed. She had not expected it to grow even wider!
Without this Sky Screen, although there had been a gap between her and those nine "people," it should not have been too great.
Hadn't Qian Daoliu lost for reasons other than strength?
With this Sky Screen, the gap between her and those nine "people" would likely only grow wider and wider!
Bibi Dong fell silent, her crimson lips parting slightly, yet she found herself unable to speak.
[TOP8: Bo Saixi.] [Identity: Great Enshrined of Sea God Island, servant of the Sea God.] [Martial Soul: Sea God.] [Soul Power Level: Level 99 (Pseudo Demigod)] [Spirit Rings: black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red.] [As the Great Enshrined of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi was likewise a Demigod-level existence. She could also wield a portion of the Sea God's power and reach the Demigod level.] [Upon the Great Sea, if Bo Saixi claimed second place, only the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King dared claim first.]
"???"
That Bo Saixi, the one invincible at sea, had ranked eighth. This was within everyone's expectations.
But what exactly was this Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?
Upon the sea, it was actually stronger than the Sea God's servant?
"Had it already reached such a level?"
Bo Saixi stood atop the high platform and looked in a certain direction.
If not for the Sea God's protection, Sea God Island would likely have long since been slaughtered clean by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Fengzhi, our guess should have been correct. I never expected such a terrifying existence to dwell in the ocean."
"Even a Demigod-level combatant is no match for it."
Chen Xin spoke with a grave expression.
With the Sky Screen's explanation, they now understood Pseudo Demigods, Demigods, and Quasi-gods.
Even an existence like Bo Saixi was no match for it. This Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was likely a Quasi-god-level Sea Soul Beast!
"This Senior Bo Saixi really does look young..."
Gu Rong smiled and muttered.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin: "..."
Was that really the important part?
As long as they reached the Titled Douluo level, they could return to youth in old age. It was merely that maintaining such a state consumed some Soul Power.
As a powerful woman, it was hardly strange for Bo Saixi to maintain such an appearance.
What woman did not love beauty?
When Bo Saixi's figure appeared on the Sky Screen, she nearly captivated every member of the opposite sex.
She was beautiful, and she possessed a distinctive aura, like a lotus rising from the mud unstained, washed by clear ripples yet never alluring in a gaudy way.
She was like the daughter of the sea, independent and peerless.
"If there were a ranking of the ten greatest beauties, Senior Bo Saixi would definitely rank near the top!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"Even His Majesty the Pope... cough, cough, I didn't say anything."
He had said nothing, yet he had said everything.
Even Bibi Dong fell short of Bo Saixi in terms of temperament, especially that lofty yet ethereal aura.
Otherwise, why would powerful men like Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu both have fallen for Bo Saixi?
Bright Moon Brothel.
"Brother Zhongli, this Senior Bo Saixi is truly beautiful. Is she your type?"
Xue Beng pointed at the sky with an excited expression, "teasing" Zhongli.
Was there any man in the world who would not like a woman as beautiful as Bo Saixi?
Though she was a little older, she really was breathtakingly beautiful!
"Like?"
Zhongli paused. A trace of confusion and reminiscence flashed through his amber eyes.
He had not encountered that word for several thousand years.
He understood what liking meant.
But making his heart stir for a mortal was something he could not do, even though he had once been mortal himself.
As a god, a Demon God, he needed to view the world from a god's perspective.
God loves all beings, but that was not romantic love. It was a greater love.
Humans and Immortals could unite, but humans and Demon Gods could not be together. The love of a Demon God was more than humans could bear.
Perhaps that "young girl" who always loved acting on her own, fancied herself clever, and was carefree without being annoying... No, they were comrades-in-arms!
The smile on Xue Beng's face gradually vanished and froze, leaving him looking somewhat melancholy.
He understood Zhongli less and less!
He had initially thought Zhongli was an ignorant playboy, but after getting to know him, he realized Zhongli had nothing to do with being a playboy.
He visited brothels only to drink tea and listen to music. His intentions were completely different from those of the other young dandies.
He strolled through the streets, walked birds, and cultivated his temperament...
In three years, he had never heard any romantic gossip about Zhongli and any famous courtesan.
Zhongli's appearance and bearing were such that even Xue Beng, as a man, could not help but praise him. He was truly handsome!
But this fellow was like some old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud...
"You win!"
Xue Beng spread his hands, utterly helpless.
He sighed and decided that he should stay farther away from Zhongli in the future.
This fellow could not be corrupted by wealth, could not be bent by force, and did not covet beauty. There was not the slightest flaw anywhere on him!
To those in power, people like this were the biggest headache.
Subduing Zhongli was simply impossible!
"???"
Zhongli gave Xue Beng a puzzled look, not understanding what he meant.
What had he won?
Xue Beng could not be bothered to waste words on Zhongli. Somewhat dejectedly, he said,
"Quite a few major events happened today. This Prince will head back first."
With that, Xue Beng rose and left. Zhongli made no attempt to keep him.
He had no interest in involving himself in this world's affairs.
Nor did he wish to participate.
Zhongli lifted his teacup, but his hand paused slightly. The tea inside had already gone cold.
After he set down the cup, the waiter, quick on the uptake, replaced his tea and refilled the water.
As for Gold Soul Coins, it did not matter if Zhongli had none. There would be famous courtesans willing to pay for him.
Zhongli lifted the teacup again and took a sip, nodding faintly.
As expected of premium tea leaves. The aftertaste was sweet, without a trace of bitterness...
"Gold" was what Zhongli lacked least.
For now, he was merely an "ordinary person" and would not casually use that power.
He would "live" on as an ordinary person.
At that moment, the Sky Screen continued to change.
[TOP8 Bo Saixi, reward: All Spirit Ring age limits increased by 30,000 years.]
Bo Saixi's reward was within everyone's expectations. Though they envied her, they were not overly surprised.
[TOP7: Tang Chen.] [Identity: Former former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, inheritor of the Asura God, King of Slaughter.]
