Golden Ranking's Thirteenth Revealed! Tang San Panicked!

Nine Spirit Rings, all nine of them Hundred Thousand Year!

Immediately after, another set of Spirit Rings emerged.

Black, black, black, black, black, red, black, black, black.

These were the Spirit Rings of her second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.

The same scene unfolded once more. Under the bathing Divine Light, all eight Ten Thousand Year Spirit Rings transformed into scarlet Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings!

Eighteen blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings slowly revolved around her body, radiating a terrifying aura that made hearts tremble.

The entire Pope Palace was dyed into a world of blood-red.

The light faded.

Bibi Dong floated silently in midair. She slowly opened her eyes, and a deep violet gleam flashed through them.

She felt the unprecedented power within her. That sensation of having everything under her control intoxicated her.

Her injuries had healed.

Her strength had increased by far more than tenfold!

"Congratulations, Teacher! Congratulations!"

Hu Liena knelt on the ground, looking at Bibi Dong, whose Divine Might now seemed like a prison, with fanatical worship in her eyes.

"With such Divine Power, Teacher will surely gain complete control of Spirit Hall, sweep away every petty foe, and unify the entire continent!"

At the same time.

Jialing Pass, inside Qian Yu's tent.

A faint fragrance permeated the air within the tent, standing in stark contrast to the murderous chill of the battlefield beyond the pass.

Gongsun Li moved with graceful steps and silently came to Qian Yu's side.

She wore a crimson, form-fitting combat outfit that perfectly outlined her exquisite curves.

Her slender, straight jade-like legs appeared and disappeared beneath her skirt, each step carrying a soul-stirring rhythm.

She leaned down slightly and moved close to Qian Yu's ear. Her warm breath brushed his ear as she lowered her voice to a whisper, like words murmured in a dream.

"My lord, news has arrived from the Pope Palace."

Qian Yu sat upright in the seat of honor, idly playing with a white jade chess piece. His expression was calm, as though he had long seen through everything.

He did not turn around, merely nodding lightly.

"Mm, I know."

At the side, Qian Renxue, who was refilling Qian Yu's tea, wrinkled her cute little nose. A trace of displeasure flashed through her clear golden eyes.

"Father, what secret are you two whispering about?"

Her tone carried the charming innocence of a young girl, yet her gaze kept darting toward Gongsun Li with vigilance.

This Gongsun Li was truly annoying. Every time, she stood so close to Father.

Qian Yu put down the chess piece and turned to look at his daughter, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"It's nothing, just an amusing matter."

He said it casually.

"Bibi Dong wanted to subdue those old men like Golden Crocodile Douluo, so she had Jing make a show of strength before the hall. In the end, Jing gave her a harsh lesson instead."

"Right now, she's probably hiding in the Pope Palace, crying out in pain."

Qian Yu's tone was indifferent, as if he were speaking of something utterly trivial.

"Really?"

Qian Renxue's eyes instantly lit up, and the displeasure on her face vanished completely.

"Serves her right!"

She clapped happily, her voice crisp.

"That's what she gets for trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice! She betrayed Father back then, and now she's been betrayed by the person she trusted most. That's karma!"

After rejoicing, Qian Renxue tilted her head, confusion appearing in her eyes.

"That's not right, Father."

"That Jing, I remember she was always Bibi Dong's most loyal lackey. Why would she suddenly turn around and bite her?"

Qian Yu smiled and was about to explain when the sky outside the tent suddenly blazed with golden light.

The three of them raised their heads in unison and looked toward the Heavenly Screen, which had changed once again.

Qian Yu's gaze fell upon the ranking, but his eyes remained utterly calm.

"Bibi Dong made the list."

Qian Renxue also saw the name on the ranking, and her delicate brows furrowed even tighter.

"Fourteenth place? Bibi Dong?"

Her voice was filled with indignation.

"Why?"

"Her two spider martial souls may be twins, but in terms of quality, which one can compare to my Six-winged Angel? How could she rank above me?"

Qian Renxue was ranked fifteenth, while Bibi Dong happened to be fourteenth.

It was only a single rank apart, yet it felt as though Bibi Dong had crushed her beneath her feet, leaving Qian Renxue deeply displeased.

A trace of surprise also flashed through Gongsun Li's beautiful eyes, though she was focused on something else.

"My lord, look at these rewards..."

"Fivefold Spirit Power Solidification, all Spirit Rings raised to Hundred Thousand Year level, and even a Godly Skill... This is only fourteenth place. The Heavenly Screen is being far too generous."

At the same time, Spirit City.

Within the grand and solemn Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu sat cross-legged beneath the Angel God Statue and slowly opened his eyes. The golden ranking reflected in his golden pupils, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Oh? Bibi Dong... is only ranked fourteenth?"

This ranking truly exceeded his expectations.

In his view, with Bibi Dong's talent of possessing Twin Martial Souls, even if she could not enter the top ten, she should not have ranked so low.

Then his brows furrowed slightly as he recalled the Secret Letter Golden Crocodile Douluo had just sent him.

"Still, what exactly is going on with that 'Jing' mentioned in the letter?"

"Why did she publicly move against Bibi Dong? Wasn't she always Bibi Dong's confidant?"

Qian Daoliu looked at the message in his hand and fell into deep thought.

This game of chess seemed to have gained pieces beyond his expectations.

Extreme North, Frozen Throne.

Snow Empress reclined lazily upon a throne carved from ten-thousand-year mystical ice. Her white dress was purer than snow, untouched by the slightest dust.

Through the high slit of her skirt, a section of her round, slender jade-like leg was revealed. Her skin was whiter than snow and carried the luster of polished jade, breathtakingly beautiful.

She raised her frost-white lashes and looked at the Heavenly Screen, her voice as clear and cold as an icy spring.

"Fourteenth on the Spirit Ranking, Bibi Dong?"

At her side, Ice Empress's emerald-green hair resembled the finest jade. She folded her arms, her tone carrying a hint of emotion.

"Twin Martial Souls, and both martial souls are of extremely high quality, yet she is only ranked fourteenth."

"Those god-level Six-winged Angel and Sea God Spirit were only fifteenth and sixteenth. It seems the requirements for entering this Spirit Ranking are truly high."

Snow Empress sighed softly.

"What a pity. We are Soul Beasts and have no connection to the Spirit Ranking."

At her words, pride flashed through Ice Empress's emerald eyes.

"So what if we could make the list?"

"Your Heavenly Snow Woman, Sister Snow, and my Ice Jade Empress Scorpion can both be considered super martial souls, but they still cannot compare with god-level ones. If we were truly ranked, we would probably only be near the bottom."

"We are rulers of the Extreme North, yet even so, it seems Douluo Continent is truly filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, unfathomably deep."

Before her words had faded, the golden light on the Heavenly Screen flowed once again, and the ranking was abruptly refreshed!

A new line of enormous words shook everyone watching the ranking!

[Spirit Ranking, Twin Martial Souls, Thirteenth Place!]

[Holder: Tang San!]

A pearl buried in dust!]
