"The Great Enshrined is only ranked seventh? What kind of garbage ranking is this!"
Mighty Lion Douluo had just recovered from his shock over Golden Crocodile Douluo's martial soul bloodline evolution when he heard the Golden Ranking announce the seventh place.
Qian Daoliu, hailed as invincible in the sky, had remained at the Level 99 Limit Douluo realm for decades. How could he possibly only rank seventh on this Golden Ranking?
Light Feather Douluo also furrowed his brows. Bibi Dong ranking eighth could be explained away by her unstable foundation, but Qian Daoliu ranking seventh made absolutely no sense.
"Seventh place, is it? It seems this Great Wall Academy is even more terrifying than we imagined."
Qian Daoliu spoke calmly. Back in the day, he was inferior to Tang Chen and Bo Saixi. No matter how much his subordinates, the several Enshrined, looked forward to it, he had known from the start that he would never be at the top of this Golden Ranking.
Was his talent really that good?
The Angel God had chosen him to be an Enshrined, to live out his life as a guide.
His granddaughter, Qian Renxue, was the one who could shoulder the inheritance of the Angel God.
In that case, did his ranking even matter?
At this moment, Qian Daoliu only wanted to wait for the Power Ranking to conclude and for a Talent Ranking to begin. He wanted Qian Renxue to take the top spot, use the generous rewards to catch up to Bibi Dong—who now possessed a god position—and reclaim control over Martial Soul Hall.
Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.
Qian Renxue collapsed onto the dragon throne, dazed. Her grandfather, the Great Enshrined of Martial Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu, had only ranked seventh on the Golden Ranking.
She was furious. Seventh place was an insult to her grandfather!
"Great Wall Academy, no matter how strong you are, can you really stop the million-strong army of my Heaven Dou Empire!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Marshal Ge Long requests an audience!"
"He comes at the perfect time!"
Qian Renxue immediately perked up. The strongest person in the Heaven Dou Empire, the Level 89 Soul Douluo, Marshal Ge Long, strode into the hall.
"This general pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"
Ge Long had no particular feelings about the succession of Xue Qinghe, whom Qian Renxue was impersonating. As the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire and the heir established by Emperor Xue Ye, what objections could he possibly have?
"Marshal Ge Long, do you think it is a major threat for the Great Wall Academy to establish a force in the Extreme North that is not under the jurisdiction of the Empire?"
"Your Majesty is wise; that is only natural!"
"Good! Then, Marshal Ge Long, I grant you command of an army of 200,000 to march north against the rebels and reclaim the lost territory!"
Ge Long accepted the order immediately. As a general who had led troops his entire life, he felt no fear toward high-level soul masters.
A Soul Elder can only contend with a hundred men, and even a Soul King would be exhausted to death by a well-coordinated army of a thousand. Even someone as strong as a Soul Douluo cannot withstand the combined volley of ten thousand troops.
A mere dozen or so Titled Douluo are nothing more than a single volley from an army of two hundred thousand.
Unfortunately, Qian Renxue did not yet know that her home, Martial Soul City, had already been reduced to ruins by Su Han's parting gift—a power that no mortal could ever hope to reach.
After showering Ge Long with praise, Qian Renxue continued to focus on the Golden List in the sky.
[Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined and chosen representative of the Angel God. Having cultivated for nearly a hundred years, his strength is profound and his foundation solid. Furthermore, he possesses the divine power of the Angel God. Unfortunately, his talent fell just short, leaving him unable to inherit the godhood of the Angel God. He could only serve as a guide for his granddaughter, Qian Renxue, to succeed the position. However, his immense strength is beyond doubt, thus he is ranked seventh among the strongest combatants on the Golden List.]
[Reward: All Soul Ring year limits increased by ten thousand years; a wisp of the Angel God's divine aura, capable of bypassing all conditions to begin the God Trials.]
Another one related to the gods!
Those Titled Douluo who had not made the list felt a chill in their hearts. They had originally been quite unconvinced, wondering how there could be so many Super Douluo in the world and why they didn't deserve a spot in the top thirty.
But one announcement after another crushed their defiance. By now, two powerhouses related to the gods had appeared in succession.
The news that one could become a god at level one hundred was actually true. In an instant, every Titled Douluo began to announce their seclusion to cultivate.
Yu Yuanzhen was even more frantic. After confirming that the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan could not gain any benefits from this shift in the landscape, he immediately announced his seclusion, and Yu Luomian directly became the acting clan leader.
Shrek Academy, Flender was directing Ma Hongjun to pack up their things. Zhao Wuji and several other teachers were somewhat reluctant to leave the place where they had worked for decades.
Yu Xiaogang, however, stared blankly at the Golden List. The fact that Bibi Dong had just made the list had left him incredibly excited.
In his view, if Bibi Dong became a god, she would certainly not forget him. With her help, he might also have the chance to become a god!
For a moment, he wanted to rush to Martial Soul City immediately to rekindle their relationship.
Yu Xiaogang was certain that Bibi Dong must still have feelings for him. However, before that, he decided to go to Heaven Dou City first to introduce Flender, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others to his family.
He decided to let his father witness his current achievements as the Master of theory.
Of course, he used the excuse that Liu Erlong should be at the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan to persuade Flender to take Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhao Wuji, and the other teachers along.
Yu Xiaogang fantasized about meeting Bibi Dong, becoming a god alongside her, living the life of a divine couple, and finally shedding his "trash" martial soul.
Sea God Island, Bo Saixi stood atop the mountain peak, feeling a sense of nostalgia as she looked at the familiar name on the Golden List.
"He has already made the list. Will you also appear on this list?"
She recalled that towering figure, but then abruptly snapped back to her senses.
She looked at the Sea God Statue inside the Worship Hall, feeling remorse in her heart.
She was the Great Enshrined personally chosen by the Sea God; how could she harbor such selfish thoughts?
Extreme North, Great Wall Academy.
Wu Zetian looked at the Golden Ranking, knitting her beautiful brows as she spoke to Su Han.
"Everyone on this Golden Ranking is connected to the gods. Will this have any impact on our academy?"
"Do you think you are inferior to those gods?"
Su Han turned his head, looked at Wu Zetian's stunning face, and smiled.
"Of course not, but..."
"Then it doesn't matter. With me here, there is nothing to fear."
Wu Zetian and Yang Yuhuan stood on either side of Su Han. After announcing Qian Daoliu, the Golden Ranking fell silent once again.
Since the rankings reached the top ten, the intervals between announcements had become increasingly long, yet all factions across the entire Douluo Continent had only accelerated their movements.
At this moment, inside the reception hall of the Great Wall Academy.
Chrysanthemum Douluo sat withered in the reception hall, while beside him was Ghost Douluo, who had been seized by Sikong Zhen immediately upon arriving at the Great Wall Academy.
"Why would His Holiness the Pope make a move against the people in the Great Wall Academy?"
"I don't know either. At the time, she told me to come and assist you with the negotiations, but now both of us have been captured."
"Aren't we her right-hand men?"
"Uh, it seems we have been abandoned."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and offered a bitter smile.
"Should we just defect?"
