Yu Xiaogang's Guessing, All Wrong?!

"Spirit Hall is nothing. It isn't even worthy of carrying shoes for our Clear Sky Sect. The Pope's trusted aide only ranked thirtieth? That woman Pope should just work a little harder and aim for twentieth. The top seven can go to the five of us brothers and the Sect Master. First place will definitely be our uncle!"

Tang Xiao could hardly suppress the joy in his heart. After all, Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were now locked in a fight to the death.

The Pope of Spirit Hall's trusted elder could only barely occupy the bottom of the Golden Ranking. That was naturally tremendous news for the Clear Sky Sect.

Moreover, amidst the elders' fervent excitement, he began to believe that perhaps his grandfather—the continent's strongest expert, who had created countless secret arts such as the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes—was truly still alive.

Extreme North, Great Wall Academy.

"Han, who is this Chrysanthemum Douluo? A human Soul Master from the south?"

Su Han stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky. This sudden Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking brought him some delight.

After nineteen years of obscurity, he wanted to see just how wonderful the expressions of those people who considered themselves strong would be when they saw his ranking.

Hearing Snow Empress's question, he pondered for a moment before saying,

"Just a fool. Like Ye Lingling, he has a plant-type martial soul, but he chose the wrong path as a Soul Master."

"It is certainly not easy for a plant-type martial soul to make it onto the Power Ranking. I just wonder how he compares to Yuan Meimei."

Su Han lowered his gaze and said nothing.

He recalled Shao Siyuan's martial soul, one that could absolutely be called heaven-defying, and grew curious about how the people of the continent would react when the time came.

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's smug expression froze on his corpse-like face.

"The last place on the Golden Ranking Combat Power list is actually Chrysanthemum Douluo!"

Flender cried out in alarm. Noticing Yu Xiaogang's unsightly expression, he hurriedly rebuked the ranking.

"This Golden Ranking is completely unofficial nonsense, full of fabricated rubbish. If you ask me, Xiao Gang should publish an essay on the combat power rankings of the entire continent."

Seeing Flender say this, Yu Xiaogang's expression eased somewhat. Then he saw Ning Rongrong mutter below,

"What Master? I already knew Chrysanthemum Douluo was nowhere near as strong as my Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa, yet they put him in the top ten."

How could Yu Xiaogang, a Master who thought so highly of himself, tolerate Ning Rongrong challenging his authority? He immediately pointed at the sky and declared with certainty,

"Chrysanthemum Douluo must have recently been injured or fallen ill, which is why he ranked here. Otherwise, his strength would naturally be among the top ten. That chrysanthemum engraved on Spirit Hall's token proves everything!"

At that moment, rolling thunder rang out from the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking once more, and the words upon it changed.

[Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's martial soul is the Immortal Herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. He should have followed the path of a plant-type Control System Soul Master, but Yue Guan took a wrong step and chose the wrong development route. The Power Attack System simply cannot bring out the advantages of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, causing a pearl to gather dust and failing the Immortal Herb martial soul.]

[Reward: All Soul Ring Year Limits increased by eight hundred years. One ten-thousand-year Head Soul Bone.]

Within Spirit Hall,

Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had been wearing a proud expression and looking down on the Golden Ranking, was struck as if by lightning upon seeing its evaluation of him. He did not pay any attention at all to the rewards that followed.

As a powerful expert who loved flowers most of all, his martial soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, had brought him glory. He had also believed that he was the person most compatible with it.

Yet now, the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking had told him that he had failed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and caused a pearl to gather dust.

"No! No! No!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo threw back his head and roared. His effeminate voice was filled with desolation.

Bibi Dong's expression darkened. Chrysanthemum Douluo being listed at the very bottom of the Golden Ranking was undoubtedly a blow to her authority as Pope.

Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong burst out laughing, making Yu Xiaogang, who was already dumbstruck, turn completely grim.

"Ning Rongrong, I ask that you show my teacher some respect!"

Tang San glanced at Yu Xiaogang's expression. He already regarded Yu Xiaogang as his own father, so how could he endure Ning Rongrong mocking him for no reason?

"What, Shrek Academy doesn't even allow people to laugh? I'm just laughing at how stupid and weak this Chrysanthemum Douluo is. What does it have to do with you?"

Ning Rongrong heard the threat in Tang San's tone, and her young lady's temper immediately flared. Her words were full of ridicule and mockery at Yu Xiaogang's predictions being completely wrong and slapped in the face.

"Xiao San."

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and stopped Tang San, who was about to make a move and teach Ning Rongrong a lesson.

It was not because he feared the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Rongrong. When Tang Hao had come to find him and entrusted Tang San to his guidance, Tang Hao's strength and prestige meant that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would never dare to seek trouble with Tang San or him.

He simply wanted to maintain his identity as a Master and argue for himself first—or rather, recover some dignity.

"You have all seen it. Chrysanthemum Douluo fell to the bottom of the Golden Ranking only because he chose the wrong development route as a Soul Master. But as disciples of Shrek Academy, with me planning your future soul skills and development paths, you will certainly not follow Chrysanthemum Douluo's old path!"

Yu Xiaogang's words earned a string of enthusiastic approval from Flender. Tang San also smiled, seemingly recalling the two exceptionally powerful soul skills Yu Xiaogang had found for him.

But Ning Rongrong still curled her lips disdainfully. The soul skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul were fixed, and so was its growth path. Why would she need a Master who could not even understand the combat power rankings to teach her?

At that moment, the words on the Golden Ranking changed again, and thunder roared.

[Twenty-ninth place on the Power Ranking: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bone Douluo—Gu Rong!]

[Martial Soul: Bone Dragon. Rank 95 defense-type Super Douluo!]

In the Extreme North, Su Han looked at the Golden Ranking with some surprise. He had just asked the system and confirmed that it was not something the system had created, so he had merely been watching the show.

But he truly had not expected Bone Douluo Gu Rong to rank twenty-ninth.

"Dean, I'm back!"

A sweet voice rang out behind Su Han, interrupting his thoughts.

Snow Empress, standing nearby, said, "Yuan Meimei, Bing'er, why were you out playing for so long today? You are not diligent in your cultivation at all."

Shao Siyuan stuck out her pink tongue and hid closer to Su Han. Ice Empress copied her, slipping behind Su Han as well.

Snow Empress truly managed them as if they were her younger sisters. As an Eight Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast who had taken human form, she was naturally the strongest person in Great Wall Academy besides Su Han.

Snow Empress could not bring herself to get angry when she looked at the two petite, green-haired girls before her. She could only change the subject and discuss the twenty-ninth place on the Supreme Combat Power Ranking with Su Han.

"Bing'er and I saw this Golden Ranking outside too. I just wonder what rank I'll get. Will I be able to surpass Sister Ying?"

"Other than the Dean, who in our academy could surpass your Sister Ying?"

"Shouldn't Sister Yang Yuhuan be able to?"

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Bone Douluo's mockery of Chrysanthemum Douluo froze on his face. He immediately flew into a rage, the massive skeletal frame within his body surging as he demanded that the Golden Ranking give him an explanation on the spot.

"Bone Uncle, do not be angered. We must not underestimate the heroes of the world. Besides, this Golden Ranking's rewards can directly increase Soul Ring Year Limits. It truly deserves to be called a miracle."

Ning Fengzhi did his best to calm himself as he persuaded Bone Douluo. Sword and Bone Douluo were the towering pillars and backbone of the present Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But if their enemies learned that the strength of the sect's pillars was merely at the bottom among powerful experts, would they not become a cake for their enemies to divide as they pleased?
