Why was everything this teacher of his said wrong every time?
Moreover, although Ning Rongrong's spoiled young-lady temper made him loathe her, what she said about Shrek Academy was indeed not wrong.
This was just a shabby little academy. The Great Wall Academy on the Golden Ranking was the place worth going to.
With his and Xiao Wu's talents, they would certainly receive the greatest possible cultivation and support after joining.
"If the teacher is wrong again, and the Great Wall Academy appears on the ranking once more, I'll consider taking Xiao Wu away from this place to search for it. Article sixty-nine of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: people go toward higher places, while water flows toward lower ones."
Tang San thought to himself. Just then, the Golden Ranking sounded again.
[Twentieth on the Power Ranking, Spirit Hall, Thousand Jun Douluo!] [Martial Soul Coiled Dragon Staff, level ninety-six Power Attack System Super Douluo!]
Thousand Jun Douluo's appearance on the ranking did not attract much attention. After all, Soul Masters with slightly greater strength knew that the Sixth Enshrined and Seventh Enshrined of Spirit Hall were brothers, and their strength had always been fairly close.
Heaven Dou Empire, inside the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Seeing Thousand Jun Douluo appear on the ranking, Qian Renxue suppressed the irritation in her heart.
"Great Wall Academy. I need all the information on Great Wall Academy. If that woman establishes contact with them first, things will become troublesome."
"Young Master, don't panic. If Great Wall Academy truly has an expert like the Great Enshrined, how could it be content to remain an obscure minor faction?"
Snake Lance Douluo consoled Qian Renxue. After all, the most important matter at present was continuing to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe in the Heaven Dou Empire without revealing any flaws.
"I know, Uncle She. Prince Xue Xing is going to meet Dugu Bo soon, isn't he? If he brings Dugu Bo into the Imperial Palace, our slow-acting poison could be exposed."
"Young Master's meaning is..."
"The Golden Ranking's revelations have intensified the turmoil. No one from the Heaven Dou Empire has appeared on the ranking yet. That old fool Xue Ye will certainly try to win over Dugu Bo. We can only go and ruin this meeting."
"I'll go myself. It'll be enough to seriously injure Dugu Bo. Then Pufferfish can protect Young Master."
Qian Renxue nodded. She still trusted Snake Lance Douluo's strength very much.
"Be careful, Uncle She."
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master."
Sunset Forest,
Sikong Zhen had hurried all the way from the Extreme North. The flying ability granted by his Martial Soul Five Thunder Drum meant that he had not taken very long.
"This is the place the Dean mentioned, right?"
Dugu Bo suddenly sensed two powerful auras coming from the sky and was somewhat stunned.
What is going on? I was sitting at home watching the Golden Ranking just fine. Although I'm a little dissatisfied that I didn't make the ranking, I haven't provoked anyone else.
"Level eighty-nine and level ninety-two, one to the east and one to the west, forming a pincer attack. Aren't you underestimating me, Dugu Bo, a little too much?"
Dugu Bo released his aura and shouted threateningly.
The Poisonous Mist around the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could help isolate disturbances from anyone below the level of a Soul Douluo, but it was useless against experts of roughly equal strength.
To escape, he had to take the initiative, cripple one of them, and break out of the encirclement. Only then could he better unleash the power of his Poison Array.
"A mere level-eighty-nine Soul Douluo dares to offend a Titled Douluo!"
Without needing to think too much, Dugu Bo naturally chose Sikong Zhen, who was level ninety-one and not skilled at one-on-one combat.
Snake Lance Douluo, on the other side, also sensed the two auras and thought to himself.
Could that old bastard Xue Xing have a backup plan and sent someone to receive Dugu Bo? But a level-eighty-nine Soul Douluo... How could a mere prince possibly control someone like that?
However, the situation before him gave him no more time to think. Snake Lance Douluo knew he had to end the battle quickly.
"Who dares intrude upon my territory, Dugu Bo?"
Dugu Bo directly summoned his Martial Soul. The ferocious Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor materialized behind him, its might soaring to the heavens.
The black Sixth Soul Ring on his body shone brightly, and he boldly launched an attack at Sikong Zhen.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Jade Phosphorous Serpent Shadow!"
Sikong Zhen had come this time to convey that Su Xin could help Dugu Bo remove his poison, but he had not expected Dugu Bo to attack him outright.
"The Dean said there's no need to act in secret. Beating him into submission before delivering the message will work just as well."
Sikong Zhen's thoughts flowed freely, and the Five Thunder Drum appeared behind him.
"A cheap trick. Break!"
"Fifth Soul Skill: Heavenly Thunder Dance!"
Countless emerald-green serpent shadows and blue bolts of thunder interwove, canceling each other out. The resulting shock wave shattered the rocks and mountains around them.
Dugu Bo was greatly shocked. A Soul Douluo's Fifth Soul Skill had actually matched the power of his opening Sixth Soul Skill as a Titled Douluo.
Just what kind of monster is this?
Snake Lance Douluo also arrived at the battlefield at that moment. The three faced one another, and none of them knew how the situation would develop.
"Uh, you two, welcome to my humble abode."
"Dugu Bo, enough nonsense. Today, I'll cripple you!"
Sikong Zhen's gaze turned cold. Dugu Bo was someone Su Han wanted. Anyone else who dared to touch Dugu Bo would be obstructing him from carrying out the Dean's orders. Even if that person was a Titled Douluo, he would still fight with his life on the line!
Just then, the Golden Ranking changed again. The three took the opportunity to retreat several dozen meters, their minds racing.
Dugu Bo was searching for a way to survive, Snake Lance Douluo was carrying out Qian Renxue's mission, and Sikong Zhen was carrying out Su Han's mission.
They all had reasons they could not afford to fail.
[Nineteenth on the Power Ranking—Sea God Island, Sea Dragon Douluo!] [Martial Soul Sea Dragon, level ninety-five Power Attack System Super Douluo!]
Sea God Island!!!
For a moment, aside from Spirit Hall's upper echelons, all the other factions on the continent were left dumbfounded.
Wasn't one Great Wall Academy enough? Now another Sea God Island had appeared out of nowhere. Were they even supposed to keep playing this game?!
Spirit Hall, Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu furrowed his brows. The Golden Ranking's standings contained ten more positions than he had calculated.
If those ten empty positions were removed, the ranking would match his estimate exactly.
But in reality, the ranking had ten extra positions for people he could never have imagined.
"Sea God Island has only had one person, Sea Dragon Douluo, appear on the ranking so far? That doesn't make sense."
Qing Luan Douluo looked at the puzzled Qian Daoliu and tried to reassure him.
"Perhaps we have been in seclusion for too long, and outstanding heroes are now emerging everywhere. In any case, first place will definitely belong to you, Great Enshrined."
Qian Daoliu shook his head. Leaving aside Tang Chen, whose life or death was unknown, with that person from Sea God Island around, it was impossible for him to take first place.
"Send word to Xue'er. If the situation looks unfavorable, abandon the plan immediately. Also, investigate Great Wall Academy with all our strength!"
This was the first time the other enshrined members of the Worship Hall had seen Qian Daoliu speak with such seriousness and urgency. One after another, they accepted the order and left, leaving only Golden Crocodile behind.
"Great Enshrined, that Great Wall Academy is definitely not simple."
"I have the same premonition. I keep feeling that the world is about to change."
