The Sixteenth on the Golden Ranking! Sea God Island Shaken!

Ah Yin quietly appeared beside Tang Hao, her face bearing the same undying shock.

"Brother Hao... your Clear Sky Hammer only ranked seventeenth?"

At that moment, golden light burst forth from the Heavenly Screen.

A dazzling pillar of light ignored every obstruction of the buildings and landed precisely upon Tang Hao.

[Seventeenth-place reward issued!]

[Reward: Soul Power solidification increased twofold; Spirit Ring age increased by one hundred thousand years!]

Tang Hao could clearly feel his Soul Power being purified and compressed in an unbelievable manner, becoming more vigorous and more refined.

The age of his ninth Spirit Ring, which he had gained through rebuilding his cultivation, also soared at an incredible rate, instantly surpassing the hundred-thousand-year threshold!

This should have been an enormous opportunity.

Yet not a trace of joy appeared on Tang Hao's face.

He merely stared fixedly at the sky, his teeth clenched as every word seemed to be forced out from the depths of his throat.

"I... Clear Sky... have I ever lagged behind anyone in my life?"

"Seventeenth..."

"To me, this ranking is not a reward. It is a humiliation!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes blazing with fury and unwillingness.

"If my Clear Sky Hammer ranks seventeenth, then that means there are at least sixteen people in heaven and on earth whose Spirits are stronger than mine!"

"I refuse to believe it!"

His pride and dignity were thoroughly ignited at that moment.

And just as the entire continent was still immersed in the shock of the Clear Sky Hammer's ranking—

The Heavenly Screen changed once more.

Golden radiance flowed as ancient words condensed again.

A line of even more dazzling characters slowly emerged.

[Myriad Spirits Ranking, Sixteenth Place: Sea God!]

[Holder: Bo Saixi!]

Sea God!

Bo Saixi!

When she saw those two names, Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly constricted atop Jialing Pass's city walls.

Tang San, in the Shrek camp, shuddered all over and abruptly raised his head!

Immediately afterward, a detailed introduction to the Sea God Spirit began appearing line by line across the Heavenly Screen.

[God-level Spirit! Inherited from the ancient Sea God Poseidon!]

[While within the ocean, it possesses an endless supply of Soul Power and is unquestionably invincible at sea!]

[Its holder, Bo Saixi, is the Great Enshriner of Sea God Island and a Level 99 Peerless Douluo.]

[From birth, she was bestowed the Sea God Spirit by Sea God Poseidon. Her fate had long been decided: she was the key to opening the divine trials for the next Sea God Inheritor.]

[Her entire life shall be spent sacrificing her own life for Tang San's Sea God's Nine Trials. Within this lies an unknown secret of Sea God Poseidon...]

Boom!!!

Those words were no less than a thunderclap exploding in everyone's minds!

Especially that final sentence!

Sacrifice her own life for Tang San's Sea God's Nine Trials?

Tang San stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning, his mind utterly blank.

"Sacrifice... for me?"

He muttered to himself, completely unable to comprehend the words on the Heavenly Dao Ranking.

Meanwhile, everyone else turned toward Tang San in unison, looking at him as though he were a monster.

At the same time, the rewards upon the Heavenly Screen began descending.

[Reward: Triple Spirit Power Solidification! Obtain a Second Life!]

[Godly Skill reward: Sea God's Time Prophecy!]

[Sea God's Time Prophecy: Can retrace past time, perceive everything in the present, and glimpse a corner of the future! Note: This Godly Skill must not be used lightly. Each use will require a corresponding price!]

Outside Jialing Pass, within the Shrek camp.

The silence was broken by a crisp voice.

"What?"

Zhu Zhuqing's cat-like eyes were now opened wide.

"Sixteenth place... is actually the Sea God Spirit?"

Her body tensed. Beneath her battle dress, her two breathtakingly long, fair legs formed taut lines brimming with explosive force, revealing the turmoil within her heart.

Xiao Wu tightly supported Tang San, her delicate brows furrowed as she murmured:

"The Sea God Spirit... that's a true God-level Spirit, yet it only ranked sixteenth?"

This was completely beyond her understanding.

"Yes."

Ning Rongrong's face was still somewhat pale. She unconsciously glanced at herself and said softly:

"Even Senior Bo Saixi's God-level Spirit only ranks sixteenth. Then my Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda..."

She did not continue, but her disappointment and shock were plainly written across her face.

"No!"

Yu Xiaogang, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly braced himself against the earth and stood.

His brows were tightly furrowed as he stared fixedly at the Heavenly Screen.

"There is definitely something wrong with this ranking!"

"According to my theory, the Sea God Spirit and the Six-winged Angel Spirit are both God-level Spirits, with no difference in rank between them. In fact, because of the Sea God's standing, the Sea God Spirit should be even stronger!"

"How could one rank ahead while the other ranks sixteenth?"

It was as though he had found an outlet for his emotions, and his voice rose.

"There must be some restriction that we do not know about!"

"That's right! The Sea God Spirit can only display its full power in the ocean. Perhaps that is why it ranks so low!

Otherwise, this would absolutely be a supreme Spirit capable of allowing a Spirit Master to directly inherit a godhood!"

Everyone's gazes gathered upon Tang San without prior agreement.

Tang San's expression was more complicated than anyone else's.

His lips trembled, and his voice was somewhat dry.

"The Sea God Spirit... such a powerful Spirit only ranks sixteenth..."

Only the sixteenth place had just been announced; it was still at the very end of the ranking.

He, Tang San, was undergoing the Sea God's Nine Trials. His future goal was to become the next generation's Sea God.

This filled his heart with a sense of oppression and discomfort.

However, when his gaze swept over the rewards beneath the Heavenly Screen, that discomfort was instantly replaced by another, even stronger emotion.

"But..."

His pupils abruptly contracted.

"Such... such generous rewards!"

"They actually... actually rewarded a life? Even life itself can be given as a reward?"

Tang San's heart began pounding violently.

"This Heavenly Screen truly is no ordinary object. It is inconceivable—utterly inconceivable!"

"And that Godly Skill... Sea God's Time Prophecy?"

He pronounced each word slowly.

"Retrace past time, perceive everything in the present, glimpse a corner of the future..."

"Th-this Godly Skill is far too heaven-defying!"

At those words, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others all sucked in a breath of cold air, their eyes filled with envy and longing.

A Second Life!

A Godly Skill capable of peering into time and space!

Such rewards had already exceeded the limits of their imagination. They were supreme treasures that no Spirit Bone or immortal-grade herb could ever compare to!

Thousands of miles away.

Sea God Island.

Beneath the azure sky, the golden ranking was equally clear.

Upon Sacred Pillar Mountain, seven figures raised their heads in unison, all wearing the same expression.

It was an expression mingling astonishment with bewilderment.

"What? The Sea God Spirit... only ranked sixteenth?"

Even Seahorse Douluo's voice had changed pitch, as though he had witnessed the most absurd thing imaginable.
