God-Tier Martial Soul: Six-winged Angel

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Rongrong, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! It really is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

The moment Ning Fengzhi saw his daughter's name and Martial Soul, he was overcome with emotion. His eyes reddened, and even his voice choked up.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's centuries-long wish had actually been fulfilled through his daughter.

What could make him happier, both as sect master and as a father?

Bone Douluo Gu Rong grinned broadly and vigorously slapped Chen Xin's shoulder beside him, roaring excitedly, "Old Chen, did you see that? My Rongrong! The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"Hahaha, ranked twelfth—several places higher than your Seven Killing Sword!"

Chen Xin swayed slightly from the slaps, yet he unusually did not argue back. A faint, gratified smile appeared on his cool face.

He was happy for his old friend and the sect master, while also filled with curiosity about the "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

For a Support System Martial Soul to rank this high, its strategic significance was indeed extraordinary.

But soon, the three men's attention was drawn to the four words behind Ning Rongrong's name: "Big Dipper Academy."

"Big Dipper Academy?"

After his excitement subsided, Ning Fengzhi quickly calmed down and began to analyze the situation.

"Dugu Yan is at Big Dipper Academy, and now Rongrong is there as well... It seems this Big Dipper Academy, hidden deep within Sunset Forest, truly is an incredible land of opportunity!"

"Rongrong's Martial Soul Evolution must be connected to that academy!"

Gu Rong rubbed his hands excitedly. "Wonderful! Not only is Rongrong safe, she has also gained such a tremendous opportunity. Once this Ranking List finishes revealing its entries, I'll definitely visit that Big Dipper Academy and properly thank them!"

Chen Xin, however, remained comparatively calm and reminded them, "Fengzhi, old bones, don't be hasty."

"This Big Dipper Academy is unfathomably mysterious. Since it can cultivate disciples like Rongrong and Dugu Yan, its foundation must run incredibly deep. It may not be a good thing for us to go there rashly."

"Besides, since Rongrong is safe and sound, we can rest easy. Right now, what matters more is watching the Ranking List's subsequent rankings."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, forcefully suppressing his urge to immediately go see his daughter.

His gaze returned to the Sky Screen, but his heart was filled with gratitude and curiosity toward Big Dipper Academy.

Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong's expression was so gloomy it seemed as though water could drip from it.

She had never expected that the one ranked above the Clear Sky Hammer would not be the Six-winged Angel she had anticipated.

Nor would it be some unknown God-Tier Martial Soul.

Instead, it was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Big Dipper Academy."

Cold light flickered in Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes, and her killing intent surged.

"What a Big Dipper Academy, to actually be capable of evolving someone's Martial Soul. Such a heaven-defying method..."

In an instant, she thought of much more.

An academy capable of inducing Martial Soul Evolution possessed secrets and resources.

For Spirit Hall, which aspired to unify the continent, it was both an enormous threat and an irresistible temptation!

If they could control this method, Spirit Hall's strength would undergo a qualitative leap!

"Send word to Gui Mei and Yue Guan!"

Bibi Dong's voice was like ice that had endured ten thousand years.

"Tell them to investigate Big Dipper Academy's exact location and internal circumstances at any cost. Their priority is determining whether they possess a method for Martial Soul Evolution!"

"Remember, at any cost!"

Bibi Dong's tone carried an unprecedented resolve.

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

A black shadow suddenly appeared, accepted the order at once, and departed.

Bibi Dong watched the black shadow vanish, then looked again at the words "Ning Rongrong" and "Big Dipper Academy" on the Sky Screen.

Her jade-like hand clenched tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palm.

"Big Dipper Academy, no matter how deeply you hide, I will drag you out. Everything you possess will eventually belong to Spirit Hall!"

The golden radiance in the sky did not cease because of the shock across the continent. Instead, it grew ever more brilliant.

New words slowly emerged like molten gold, tugging at everyone's heartstrings:

[Martial Soul Ranking, Eleventh Place: Six-winged Angel]

[Holder: Qian Renxue (Spirit Hall)]

[Rating: God-Tier Martial Soul, Darling of the Sky, embodiment of holiness and light, possessing ultimate light and holy attributes, with limitless potential. Current development: 78%]

[Reward: Soul Power Level increased by five levels, all Soul Ring Ages increased by five thousand years, two God-bestowed Soul Bones awarded (twenty-thousand-year quality)]

"Eleventh place! It's the Six-winged Angel!"

"Spirit Hall's inherited Martial Soul! It's actually a God-Tier Martial Soul!"

"Even a God-Tier Martial Soul can't make the top ten? This..."

"Qian Renxue? I've never heard that name before!"

Cries of shock once again swept across the continent, but this time, they carried more disbelief and profound dread.

The God-Tier Martial Soul, the Six-winged Angel, was only ranked eleventh?

Then just how terrifying were the existences in the top ten?

Spirit Hall, Worship Hall.

Within the golden hall, the atmosphere was so solemn it seemed frozen solid.

Several enshrined ones, led by Qian Daoliu, had gathered there.

When they saw that the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul was merely ranked eleventh—

Even though they had long anticipated it, shock and a trace of unwillingness still appeared uncontrollably on their faces.

Qian Daoliu stood beneath the enormous Angel Statue, his back as straight as ever.

Yet a complicated, indescribable glint passed through his profound eyes.

The last trace of hope in his heart completely vanished with this ranking.

"Great Enshrined One..."

"Even the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke in a dry voice.

Qian Daoliu slowly raised a hand, stopping him from continuing.

His gaze swept over every enshrined one present. His voice was calm, yet carried unquestionable authority. "This result is unexpected, yet reasonable."

He paused, then continued his analysis. "It seems that the Heavenly Dao Ranking List does not rank Martial Souls purely by their quality and offensive power."

"Xue'er's Innate Soul Power is as high as level twenty. Her talent is peerless, and her compatibility with the Angel Martial Soul is exceptionally high. Even so, she only ranks eleventh. This shows that the Ranking List's criteria are extremely complex. They may include a Martial Soul's growth limit, its application of Soul Power, and perhaps even the holder's own Soul Power Level."

"Though our Six-winged Angel Clan is noble, we are ultimately limited to the sky and light. Perhaps... that is the reason."

Though he said this, the heaviness in his heart did not lessen in the slightest.

More than anyone else, he understood the Six-winged Angel's power.

And precisely because of that, he felt unprecedented apprehension toward the unknown top ten.

"Perhaps the Sea God Martial Soul can enter the top ten, but what exactly are the remaining nine?"

"Could it be that this world truly conceals forbidden powers beyond even Divine Inheritance?"

Qian Daoliu's gaze seemed to pierce through the roof of the hall and fall upon the mysterious Golden Ranking. His heart churned with turmoil.

Though the enshrined ones present still found it difficult to fully accept, they had no choice but to admit that Qian Daoliu's analysis made sense.

Yet the fact that even a God-Tier Martial Soul could not enter the top ten weighed on every heart like a massive boulder.

It shook their understanding of the continent to its core.

It seemed the waters of Douluo Continent ran far deeper than they had imagined.

The hidden experts and forces lurking in the shadows likely far exceeded their estimates.
