Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Supreme combat power!"
Yu Luomian rose from the chair at the lower end of the hall, unable to contain his excitement.
At the head of the hall, Yu Yuanzhen—the current leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, its only Titled Douluo, and the father of Master Yu Xiaogang—also stood up in astonishment.
"This is precisely the time for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to display its might. Forget the top three—one of the top five spots is definitely mine!"
"Big Brother is absolutely right. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is the strongest Beast Martial Soul on the entire continent! No—the strongest Martial Soul!"
Yu Luomian's words greatly pleased Yu Yuanzhen. He sat back down in the main seat with a bold, commanding posture, as though the Golden Ranking's placement and rewards were already his for the taking.
Clear Sky Sect.
After the Golden Ranking appeared, Tang Xiao urgently summoned the five elders.
"In this old man's view, this is our Clear Sky Sect's chance to reemerge. When the time comes, our Clear Sky Sect will seize seven of the top twenty spots. Let's see how Spirit Hall dares to challenge the might of our Clear Sky Hammer again!"
Second Elder stroked his beard. Though old, his body remained robust, and his voice boomed like a great bell.
The other elders all agreed deeply, each wearing a proud expression as though the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking was about to praise the Clear Sky Hammer's peerless divine might as the number one Tool Martial Soul—and even the number one Martial Soul—in the world.
"And Grandfather—if the Golden Ranking truly is the work of a god, with complete knowledge and impartial judgment, wouldn't we be able to learn where Grandfather is?"
Tang Xiao's words sent the elders into even greater excitement. They had never believed that their most revered and admired grand-uncle, Tang Chen, had died. As long as their grand-uncle still lived, how could there be any dispute over who ranked first on the Golden Ranking?
The supreme position could only belong to Clear Sky!
Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City Imperial Palace.
As Xue Ye listened to Marshal Ge Long's report on the Golden Ranking, panic filled his heart.
In his vast Heaven Dou Empire, even its strongest marshal, Ge Long, was merely an eighty-ninth-level Power Attack System Soul Douluo. Even if he made the ranking, he would probably only barely reach the last spot.
The emperor of the Star Luo Empire shared Xue Ye's thoughts.
Although the Star Luo Empire's current combat strength surpassed that of the Heaven Dou Empire, he himself was the only eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo in the entire nation.
The appearance of the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking was instead the most disadvantageous development for the worldly empires.
Shrek Academy.
Master assigned Shrek's Six Monsters a task to train their bodies. Tang San had just wanted to be the first to support his teacher's theories when the anomaly in the sky drew his attention.
"Supreme Combat Power Ranking? Article ninety-one of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record says: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. I need to record this carefully. If I encounter them in the future, I'll avoid their edge first."
Master also stared at the sky in surprise. The appearance of the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking had clearly exceeded his understanding.
However, as a self-proclaimed Master, pretending to understand what he did not was what Yu Xiaogang loved doing most.
"Those on the Supreme Combat Power Ranking should all be senior figures in the Spirit Master World. You must work hard as well and cultivate diligently. Sooner or later, you too will ascend the Combat Power Golden Ranking."
Frank and the somewhat bruised and swollen Zhao Wuji also followed the anomaly to the training grounds. Hearing Yu Xiaogang's solemnly delivered motivational speech, they immediately echoed his words again and again.
What followed was a whole heap of useless and poisonous motivational drivel: Shrek Academy only accepted monsters, you were all little monsters, there were only useless Martial Souls and no useless Soul Masters, and so on.
Ning Rongrong curled her lips. She had no desire to undergo physical training, but this Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking was quite interesting. Her beautiful eyes spun, and an idea came to her.
"Master, why don't you predict this ranking and explain the unusual aspects of the ranked individuals' Martial Souls, so we can broaden our knowledge? After all, you're so learned."
Yu Xiaogang had been thinking the same thing. After clearing his throat twice, he spoke loudly.
"Among the continent's powers, aside from the strongest Spirit Hall and the two great empires, there are the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects. The last places on this ranking should belong to the leaders of the Lower Four Sects, those only one step away from becoming Titled Douluo. The middle ranks will be occupied by ordinary Titled Douluo. As for the top ten, they will include the Sword and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo of Spirit Hall, and its various enshrined elders."
Yu Xiaogang explained while shaking his head, looking every bit the learned Master. Shrek's Six Monsters, Frank, Zhao Wuji, and the others all agreed with him, lavishly praising Yu Xiaogang's world-shaking wisdom.
Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
"Young Master, will this Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking affect our plans? If there is any danger, we can report to the Great Enshrined and send you back to the hall at any time."
Qian Renxue shook her head. Disguised as Xue Qinghe, her face showed no expression at all.
She wanted to force out a smile, only to realize that the countless social obligations of the day had long since frozen her smile stiff.
"This is a good thing. Grandfather's strength is unmatched on the continent. The top spot on this Supreme Combat Power Ranking will definitely be his for the taking. It is only a pity that I was born at the wrong time. Otherwise, I would have liked to make this Golden Ranking and see the heroes of the world."
Snake Lance Douluo nodded in deep agreement. He and Pufferfish were absolutely loyal to Qian Daoliu and naturally held him in incomparable reverence and admiration.
"I just wonder what places Old She and I can reach. There are thirty seats. Twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth place should be secure for us brothers. It all depends on whether we can make the top twenty."
As soon as Porcupinefish Douluo finished speaking, violet lightning churned across the sky.
Amid booming thunder and exploding golden light, the golden words on the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking changed.
[Combat Power Ranking, 30th Place: Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo—Yue Guan!] [Martial Soul: Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Ninety-fifth-level Power Attack System Super Douluo!]
Within Spirit Hall, Yue Guan, who had just been congratulating Bibi Dong with a beaming smile, froze.
Then he let out an enraged roar. As an elder and trusted confidant of Spirit Hall's Pope, he was a dignified ninety-fifth-level Control System Super Douluo.
His Martial Soul was even the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, an Immortal Herb. How could he possibly rank only thirtieth on the Combat Power Ranking!!!
Bibi Dong's expression shifted slightly as well. Yue Guan was her right-hand man, and his strength needed no explanation. There were fewer than twenty known Titled Douluo on the entire continent, so how could Yue Guan, a Super Douluo, merely occupy the last seat!
"What kind of bullshit Heavenly Dao Will is this? It's nothing but a trashy wild ranking! Your Holiness, in this subordinate's foolish opinion, this is Clear Sky Sect's lot pretending to be gods and ghosts!"
Yue Guan could no longer maintain his elegant bearing. For a powerful Soul Master, strength was his greatest source of confidence. Yet now he had been humiliated like this—how could he endure it?
"Calm down. The words on the Golden Ranking have changed again. It looks like an evaluation."
Ghost Douluo Guimei reminded them at the right moment, causing the enraged Chrysanthemum Douluo and the puzzled Bibi Dong to look up at the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking once more.
Clear Sky Sect.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, thirtieth place!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
