The Confident Spirit Hall and the "Humble" Upper Three Sects! Who Will Claim the Title of Number One Heavenly Pride?

Beneath the sky screen, the entire Douluo Continent fell into dead silence before erupting into an earth-shaking uproar!

Zhou Xu stared at the words "human heavenly prides."

A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes before he sighed softly. "In the end, it still couldn't be hidden."

His Dou Po Academy had gathered numerous women blessed by fate, and they had even developed Dou Qi!

The female disciples were all exceptionally gifted. They cultivated the Dou Qi System and wielded Heavenly Flames.

Such potential could not possibly be overlooked. They were enough to crush any heavenly pride on the continent and would inevitably appear on the Gold Ranking List.

This ranking list seemed as though it had been tailor-made for his Dou Po Academy! It was practically asking for his identification!

It was meant to expose Dou Po Academy before every force on the Douluo Continent!

It seemed that his original plan of lying low until becoming a Dou Di before emerging into the world would now be completely shattered.

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply as he exclaimed, "The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking? A review of humanity's heavenly prides? Such a display is simply unprecedented!"

Having lived for so many years, he had never seen such a terrifying heavenly phenomenon. The pressure within that Golden Light made even him, a Titled Douluo, feel insignificant.

Dragon Duke and Snake Matriarch exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

They knew their daughter's potential well, yet before this Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, they had no idea what position she might achieve.

"Teacher, will we make the ranking?" Ye Ling Ling asked softly, her eyes carrying a hint of anticipation.

Ji Hongyue clenched her fists, excitement gleaming in her eyes. "Whether we make the ranking or not, I am determined to obtain this Heavenly Dao Blessing!"

Seeing the longing and fighting spirit in his disciples' eyes, Zhou Xu smiled and suppressed the emotion in his heart.

"Your talents are enough to rank among the Heavenly Pride Ranking. But this continent is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Forces such as Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect surely possess top-tier heavenly prides as well.

"Next, let us see who truly deserves to be called the number one on the continent!"

He looked toward the sky screen, anticipation flashing in his eyes. "Perhaps this Gold Ranking List will be my opportunity to break through to the Dou Di realm."

At the same time, an immense uproar had already swept through every major force on the Douluo Continent.

Spirit City, Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong sat upon her throne, watching the Gold Ranking List in the sky screen. Her exquisite face remained expressionless, but turbulent waves surged in the depths of her eyes.

"The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking?" Bibi Dong lightly tapped the Throne Armrest with her fingertip. "This is quite a good opportunity to let the continent witness the true foundation of my Spirit Hall."

Her gaze swept over the people standing respectfully below before finally landing on Hu Liena and the Golden Generation.

Hu Liena wore red Tight Clothes that revealed every curve of her alluring figure. Her fox-like eyes were bright and spirited, gleaming with an unusual radiance.

Xie Yue, Yan, and the others stood tall and straight. The fluctuations of Soul Power around them were steady, and they were already top-tier heavenly prides at the Soul Ancestor or even Soul King realm.

"Nana, and all of you," Bibi Dong said slowly, "as the core heavenly prides of my Spirit Hall, your talents and resources surpass those of your peers across the continent.

"The top ten positions on this Heavenly Pride Ranking should rightfully belong to Spirit Hall! It is time for the entire continent to understand that the future will ultimately be controlled by our Spirit Hall!"

Her words struck like thunder, making Hu Liena and the others' blood boil.

Hu Liena was the first to bow, her voice seductive yet resolute.

"We obey Teacher's decree! We will not disappoint your expectations. We shall claim all ten positions and display the divine might of Spirit Hall!"

Xie Yue, Yan, and the others followed suit, answering in unison, "We will not disappoint Your Eminence the Pope!"

Blazing fighting spirit burned in their eyes. The resources and inheritances Spirit Hall had granted them gave them absolute confidence that they could crush the continent's other heavenly prides.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also smiled from the side. "With Your Eminence the Pope presiding over Spirit Hall, together with top heavenly prides such as the Saintess, Spirit Hall's unification of the continent is just around the corner!

"This Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking is merely a stepping stone for Spirit Hall to display its strength!"

The corners of Bibi Dong's lips curved upward, but she did not respond to their flattery.

Her gaze unconsciously shifted toward the Worship Hall behind the Papal Palace.

A figure clad in platinum armor flashed through her mind—Qian Renxue.

That girl's Angel God inheritance and innate Level 20 Soul Power were perhaps the truly indisputable pinnacle talents.

However, the pride in her heart would never allow her to acknowledge that.

In the end, she merely withdrew her gaze and waited quietly for the Gold Ranking List to be revealed.

Meanwhile, the Worship Hall deep within Spirit City presented an entirely different scene.

Qian Daoliu wore a platinum holy robe, his six wings spread wide behind him as sacred Golden Light filled the hall.

Standing in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, he looked toward the Gold Ranking List. A confident smile rested at the corners of his lips as he raised a hand and gently stroked his beard.

"Xue'er possesses the Angel God inheritance, innate Level 20 Soul Power, and has already touched the threshold of the Soul Douluo realm.

"No one on this continent can compare to her talent. Xue'er will certainly secure the top spot on this Heavenly Pride Ranking!"

His words brimmed with absolute confidence. In his eyes, Qian Renxue was not only his granddaughter, but also the Angel God's sole heir, a being destined to look down upon all living things.

Beside him, Golden Crocodile Douluo wore golden armor, his massive build as imposing as a mountain. His face was filled with respect.

He bowed and said in a voice as resounding as a bell, "Great Enshriner, your wisdom is unmatched! Lord Qian Renxue possesses unparalleled talent and is a God Level seedling rarely seen in ten thousand years.

"With the Angel God inheritance empowering her, the top position must belong to her!

"With a heavenly pride like Lord Qian Renxue in Spirit Hall, together with your protection, Great Enshriner, we shall surely unite the continent and rule for thousands of generations!"

Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction, arrogance that looked down upon all living beings flashing in his golden eyes.

"Let the continent see what a true top-tier heavenly pride is! Xue'er, do not disappoint your grandfather."

Clear Sky Sect, Mountain Gate.

Sect Master Tang Xiao stood before the Mountain Gate, his massive frame like a mountain. Looking up at the sky vault, a cold curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

"After remaining silent for so long, it is indeed time for the might of Clear Sky to resound across the entire continent once more!"

"Father, we will personally reclaim the glory of the Clear Sky Sect." Tang Long's voice was not loud, yet it contained astonishing determination.

As the Clear Sky Sect's foremost third-generation top-tier heavenly pride and the leader of this generation's twin stars, the Dragon-Tiger Twin Heroes.

Though he had yet to fully reveal himself, he had already filled the entire Clear Sky Sect with anticipation.

Second Elder Tang Huang stepped forward and declared loudly, "Young Master Tang Long possesses innate Level 9 Soul Power, and his martial soul is the pure Clear Sky Hammer.

"He has also mastered every secret art of our Clear Sky Sect. His talent far surpasses that of our ancestors throughout history!

"Tang Hu is also a top-tier heavenly pride. With these two brothers, our Clear Sky Sect will surely claim a place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking!"

"Clear Sky! Clear Sky!" Wave after wave of shouts shook the valley.

The ambition the Clear Sky Sect had suppressed for years erupted completely at the moment the Gold Ranking List descended.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Within the council hall, Yu Yuanzhen sat in the seat of honor, his expression dignified.

"Hahaha! The Heavenly Dao has eyes after all, allowing the talent of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to finally be displayed!"

Yu Yuanzhen slammed his hand against the table and rose, his voice causing the hall's beams and pillars to hum.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon inherited by my clan is one of the continent's finest Beast Martial Souls, combining offense and defense. No one can match the might of its lightning!

"As the captain of Imperial Dou Academy, Tian Heng is only half a step away from reaching the Soul Ancestor realm despite his young age! The title of number one heavenly pride can belong to none but him!"

Yu Tianheng wore Silver Tight Clothes. Handsome and naturally proud, he spoke with sonorous conviction.

"Rest assured, Grandfather. Your grandson will never disgrace the clan's reputation! Even Spirit Hall cannot make us retreat!"

"Well said! Spirit Hall is nothing but shit in my eyes! My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is determined to take the top spot on this Gold Ranking List!" Yu Yuanzhen said excitedly.

Behind him, the clan's younger generation was stirred into a frenzy, as though they could already see the name Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon hanging high at the top of the ranking, the clan's glory illuminating the continent.

All the elders stared at the sky screen, their eyes filled with pride and greed, as though the Heaven-defying rewards of the Heavenly Dao were already within their grasp.
