Dugu Bo and Dragon Duke Snake Matriarch's Thoughts, 15th Place About to Be Revealed!

A wild, arrogant smile returned to his face as he deliberately raised his voice.

"Hmph, those guys are all trash, which is why they ranked so low. How could My Dai Mubai's Strength possibly be compared to theirs? A spot in the top ten is guaranteed!"

He had deliberately changed "top five" to "top ten," thinking he had lowered the bar.

That way, he could save face without sounding too outrageous.

Yet only he knew that he had long since lost confidence. His Face-Loving Personality simply kept him from admitting his worries.

Flender burst into laughter. "Good lad, you've got my Flender's style! Where is Top Ten Enough? I say you can at least make the top five!"

Dai Mubai gave a dry laugh and said nothing more. He merely looked toward the Sky Screen again, the worry in his eyes growing heavier.

As he stared at the glittering Golden Ranking List, he prayed silently.

He hoped his ranking would be better than he imagined—at the very least, that he would not end up like Tang Long and the others.

At the edge of the Dou Po Academy Training Ground deep within Sunset Forest.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang stood side by side. Looking at Tang Long's Ranking on the Sky Screen, they could not help exchanging amused smiles, their eyes full of mockery.

"Hahaha, the Clear Sky Sect really brought this upon themselves." Dragon Duke Meng Shu stroked his beard, his voice carrying a touch of schadenfreude.

"Tang Xiao really lifted a stone only to smash his own foot."

Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang nodded, a trace of ridicule flashing through her eyes. "Exactly. The Clear Sky Sect has always been so arrogant, thinking that because their Clear Sky Hammer is the Continent's Number One Tool Spirit, they can look down on everyone.

Tang Long's ranking has dumped a bucket of cold water over them. It will let them know that There Are Heavens Beyond Heavens, and there are always greater people beyond greater people."

Meng Shu turned to look at Dugu Bo beside him and smiled. "Old Poison, what do you think? Has the Clear Sky Sect become a joke too?"

Dugu Bo wore a green robe. At those words, he curled his lip, his tone as venomous as ever.

"A joke? They were already a joke.

Tang Xiao is far too conceited. He thought that lying low for a few years would let him revive the Clear Sky Sect, but the disciple he raised is only at this level.

Sixteenth Place, unable even to enter the Top Fifteen, yet he dared call others Earthen Chickens and Tile Dogs. How shameless."

He paused before continuing, "But that is normal. The Clear Sky Sect's cultivation methods are too rigid. They focus only on the power of the Clear Sky Hammer while overlooking the diversity of potential.

Tang Long being rated as 'Potential Slightly Single' is the best proof.

Even if such a sect has deep foundations, it will be difficult for it to produce truly Top-Tier Heavenly Pride."

Dragon Duke Meng Shu nodded deeply in agreement. "Old Poison is right. On the Path of Cultivation, one must pursue balanced development. Relying solely on brute force will not get one far.

Look at Dean Zhou's disciples. They cultivate Dou Qi and Heavenly Flames, with limitless potential. That is what true heavenly pride should look like."

Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang echoed his words. "Exactly. Compared to the Clear Sky Sect's rigidity.

Dou Po Academy's cultivation methods are far more flexible. These sects of the Soul Power System ultimately have far too narrow a worldview."

The three watched the Ranking List on the Sky Screen, then looked toward the Dou Po Academy disciples cultivating diligently in the Training Ground. A trace of satisfaction flashed through all their eyes.

In their view, the future achievements of these disciples cultivating Dou Qi would be far beyond what heavenly prides of the Soul Power System like Tang Long could ever match.

The golden light above the Sky Screen suddenly condensed, as though coated in a biting Killing Intent. The moment the information for Sixteenth Place Tang Long faded, a new Golden Ranking swept forth with the Dominant Aura of the Star Luo Empire and appeared above the Sky Vault of Douluo Continent.

[Heavenly Pride Ranking 15th Place: Dai Weisi]

[Spirit: Evil Eye White Tiger]

[Level: Level 41 Battle Soul Ancestor]

[Innate Soul Power: Level 9]

[Affiliated Power: Star Luo Empire, Star Luo Royal Academy]

[Overall Evaluation: Star Luo Empire's Eldest Prince, with an exceptionally pure inheritance of the Evil Eye White Tiger Spirit.

Integrated with the Star Luo Empire's iron-blooded path of slaughter, his Single Target Combat Power is Strong.

His Spiritual Power and Spirit Compatibility far surpass those of the same level. He excels in both Team Battle and One-on-One combat, and his Potential Rating is Very Excellent!]

[Heavenly Dao Blessing: Evil Eye White Tiger Spirit Origin Strengthened. Evil Eye Spiritual Impact Power Increased by 50%. All Spirit Ring Upper Limits Increased by 1000 Years, and Soul Power Level Broke Through to Level 50 Battle Soul King!]

The three words "Dai Weisi" exploded like thunder, instantly throwing the Star Luo Empire into a frenzy.

Star Luo Empire Palace.

Within the Star Luo Empire's Palace Hall, the atmosphere was instantly ignited.

Dai Yutian abruptly rose from the Dragon Throne, heavily setting the Wine Cup in his hand upon the table.

Wine splashed out, but he paid it no mind. Staring at the ranking on the Sky Screen, burning light burst from his eyes as he laughed loudly.

"Good! Good! Good! What a Dai Family Son! What a 15th Place! Better than those so-called heavenly prides!

My Star Luo Empire's Eldest Prince truly is the Strongest Talent Holder of the Current Royal Family! Fifteenth Place—worthy indeed of being a Dai Family Son!"

Zhu Hongye stood to one side. As the current Family Head of the Zhu Family and Zhu Zhuqing's mother, she wore dark red tight clothes, her face cold and beautiful.

Looking at Dai Weisi on the Ranking List, a satisfied curve rose at the corner of her lips.

The Marriage Alliance between the Evil Eye White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat was the Star Luo Empire's Core Strategy. The stronger Dai Weisi became, the more secure the Zhu Family's position would be.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Dai Weisi's talent truly Did Not Disappoint. With the Evil Eye White Tiger Spirit Origin Strengthened.

And with his Soul Power breaking through to Soul King, his future achievements will surely be limitless."

Her voice was calm, yet she could not conceal her satisfaction. Her gaze swept across the hall. "The Star Luo Empire's heavenly prides have ultimately surpassed Heaven Dou by a step."

Dai Weisi himself stood within the hall, clad in silver-white armor, dominant light gleaming in his Evil Eyes.

The Soul Power around him rippled slightly under the impact of the Heavenly Dao Blessing before quickly stabilizing.

He felt the surging Soul Power within his body and the increasingly pure origin of his spirit.

Then he threw back his head and released a low Tiger Roar, making the beams and pillars of the hall hum.

"Fifteenth Place? This is only the beginning. That brat Dai Mubai is still hiding away in some backwater.

And those self-righteous, narrow-minded so-called heavenly prides of Heaven Dou—I want to see whether he dares compete with me on the Gold Ranking List!"

His eyes were filled with contempt for Dai Mubai and a fierce desire to compete.

As the Star Luo Empire's Eldest Prince, he had taken pride since childhood in crushing Dai Mubai and completely suppressing Heaven Dou's heavenly prides.

Now that he had entered the Golden Ranking, his ambition swelled even further.

"Father, your son will continue cultivating and train diligently! I will make the mediocre fools of the Heaven Dou Empire submit to the true heavenly prides of our Star Luo!

I will let the entire continent know that the Star Luo Empire's heavenly prides are the true strong!"

Dai Yutian patted Dai Weisi on the shoulder, his eyes full of expectation. "Good! My Star Luo Empire needs iron-blooded heavenly pride like you!

Pass down my order. Announce it throughout the nation and celebrate Dai Weisi's placement on the Golden Ranking. Bestow endless resources upon Star Luo Royal Academy and devote all efforts to nurturing Dai Weisi!"

The civil and military officials in the hall all bowed in congratulations, their voices rising and falling one after another.

With Dai Weisi's appearance on the Golden Ranking, the Star Luo Empire's ambition blazed like a wildfire.
