Chrysanthemum Douluo waited for a short while before seeing a young man walk in from outside the reception hall.
"Are you the Dean of Great Wall Academy?"
Su Han nodded, and Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression became more reserved.
He was a high-ranking official of Martial Soul Hall, a status that had accompanied him for half his life. Suddenly being asked to chat as a friend, he didn't know what to do.
"Dean, I wish to request an audience with the Love Douluo on the twenty-seventh spot of the Golden Ranking."
Chrysanthemum Douluo, seemingly afraid Su Han would misunderstand him as someone gathering intelligence, quickly added.
"My martial soul, the Dean should know, is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. The Golden Ranking's evaluation of me is unworthy of an Immortal Herb, but I truly love my martial soul and all flowers and plants. The Love Douluo's Lovesick Heartbreak Red is the King of Immortal Herbs. If I could befriend her, my life would have no regrets."
"The Love Douluo is only sixteen this year. You probably don't have much in common, but she does have a garden full of flowers."
"Sixteen!!!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed in shock. He had seen the Golden Ranking's evaluation of Shao Siyuan as young and assumed she was a peerless genius like Tang Hao, who became a Titled Douluo in his forties.
But now, you're telling me there's a sixteen-year-old Titled Douluo!
Yue Guan was somewhat dazed when he heard rumbling thunder from outside the academy.
"Is the Golden Ranking broadcasting again?"
"No, a student is returning."
"Dean!"
Sikong Zhen carried Dugu Bo with one hand, lightning swirling behind him. To quickly complete the task Su Han gave him, he had been accelerating with lightning power the entire way, creating a grand spectacle.
"Old Poison?!"
"Chrysanthemum Guan?!"
"Why are you here?"
"Are you joining the academy too?"
Yue Guan was bewildered by Dugu Bo's words. How could Old Poison, who always challenged him to fights, be joining Great Wall Academy?
"Mr. Dugu, welcome."
"Dugu Bo has long admired the Dean's great name. I am grateful for the Dean's favor and express my thanks here!"
Dugu Bo was not a fool. Since he had decided to join Great Wall Academy, he naturally wouldn't put on airs as a senior.
Moreover, he couldn't even defeat Sikong Zhen, who wasn't on the ranking. How could he possibly be a match for other members of Great Wall Academy?
"Dean, what's going on? Why is the Poison Douluo here?"
"Ju Hua Guan, shouldn't I be asking you that? Why are you at our Great Wall Academy!"
Dugu Bo's mind was sharp. Having decided to latch onto Su Han, he immediately referred to it as "our Great Wall Academy." Anyone who didn't know better would think he was an elder of the academy.
Just as the two were about to argue, the Golden Ranking began announcing a new name.
[Golden Ranking Combat Power, Twelfth Place, Great Wall Academy, Broken Thought Douluo—Yang Yuhuan!]
[Martial Soul: Lovesick Pipa, Level Ninety-Seven Control System Super Douluo!]
Great Wall Academy, here we go again!
How could one academy possess so many Super Douluo?
Even the Clear Sky Sect, once recognized as the number one sect on the continent, possessing the number one Tool Martial Soul, didn't have so many Titled Douluo, let alone so many Soul Douluo.
Martial Soul Hall, Worship Hall.
Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed. He could no longer deceive himself into believing that Great Wall Academy's highest level was only ninety-seven.
"This is twelfth place. If it stops here, it's still acceptable. But if another person from Great Wall Academy appears on the list, then perhaps they are also an extremely vast power, a force with top experts like the Great Enshrined and myself."
"How is that possible!"
Mighty Lion Douluo loudly retorted. He had always respected Golden Crocodile Douluo, but having dedicated his life to fighting for Martial Soul Hall for the faith of the Angel God, how could he allow a power on the Douluo Continent to rival Martial Soul Hall?
"At first, I believed that with my experience, I wouldn't be unable to judge if there were Super Douluo above level ninety-seven on the continent. But the consecutive appearances of this academy on the list have shaken my belief."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's words made Qian Daoliu nod as well. This former pillar of the Spirit Master World, one of the "Two Mountains," known as invincible in the sky, was now like an ordinary, kind old man.
He stared at the Golden Ranking in the sky, no longer able to treat it with his usual composure.
"Great Angel God, please give your incompetent junior some guidance. The inheritance of Martial Soul Hall cannot be broken."
Inside Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang, who was being scrutinized for the excellent quality of Ying's Three Lives Martial Soul, found it hard to accept reality.
The previous judgments could be dismissed as casual remarks, as words were on Yu Xiaogang's own lips, and others couldn't control them.
But this time, it was a direct blow to Yu Xiaogang's own professional expertise. His theory of the core competitiveness of the Ten Spirit Rings was shattered by undeniable reality.
Tang San also stood frozen, remembering six years ago.
"Blue Silver Grass cannot support Level 10 Spirit Power on its own, so you must have another Martial Soul."
At the time, he was convinced by Yu Xiaogang's genius-like deduction, but now, looking at the expert named Ying on the Heavenly Rankings, whose Three Lives Martial Soul were all top-tier, they appeared together on one person.
This completely overturned Yu Xiaogang's words back then.
As the broadcast about Yang Yuhuan on the Golden Rankings began, the people from Shrek Academy and the enshriners from Martial Soul Hall were somewhat numb.
Their Strength was even lower, and they couldn't see clearly. Now, not just Tang San, but all the students had some different thoughts in their hearts.
They believed their own talents were extremely high, so wouldn't they be treated as treasures if they came to Great Wall Academy?
They saw so many experts appearing on the Golden Rankings. If these experts were to become their teachers, how could there be any obstacles in their cultivation path?
Tang San's thoughts became more active. He started to recall when Yu Xiaogang took him to hunt for his first Spirit Ring. If he hadn't relied on the Tang Sect's secret techniques to counter-kill the Datura Snake, he would probably have been reincarnated by now.
If the teacher he chose was an expert on the Golden Rankings, wouldn't his future be even brighter?
"We leave tonight."
Tang San made up his mind and quietly took Xiao Wu's hand.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, The increase in Yu Yuanzhen's personal Strength and Yu Luomian's breakthrough made the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's thoughts stir.
"The Clear Sky Sect has two people on the rankings, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has two people on the rankings, and we only have one. If we seek cooperation, wouldn't we become mere supporting characters?"
Yu Luomian's worries were naturally reasonable. Yu Yuanzhen's ranking was not high, and he had just broken through. The Upper Three Sects' unity was nothing more than a joke.
"The Upper Three Sects must unite. Now, the Great Wall Academy on the rankings and Martial Soul Hall are at odds. Not to mention this Sea God Island, Martial Soul Hall will definitely not tolerate the existence of Great Wall Academy. When they start fighting, it will be our time to enter the fray. But their forces are too strong; only by uniting can we qualify to enter."
Yu Yuanzhen, this old dragon, revealed unprecedented shrewdness. He and Yu Luomian gazed at the Golden Rankings in the sky, their minds filled with a thousand thoughts.
A great change unseen in tens of millions of years on the Douluo Continent was happening today!
