Ge Long was dead. Along with the Two Hundred Thousand Army he had led, he would sleep forever in this fragrant, flower-filled Extreme North.
Hua Mulan sheathed her sword. The Twelve Fiery Red Streams swirling around her represented the generous reward earned by the Golden Ranking's second-ranked Supreme Combat Power.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu's battle had reached the point where both were fighting for their lives.
Both had manifested their martial souls. Xiao Wu's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked ready to kill Dai Mubai.
After detonating another ring, Tang Hao coughed up blood.
Tang San stared at Su Han, who looked as though he were enjoying a show, his eyes filled with hatred.
In his eyes, Su Han was simply using his strength to bully others. Great Wall Academy was an evil force—yet he had forgotten that Tang Hao had been the one to provoke them first.
For a moment, he missed his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.
If he were here, wouldn't he be able to persuade Great Wall Academy through negotiation and make them realize their mistake?
Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.
Ever since arriving in Heaven Dou City, Flender had been urging Yu Xiaogang to take him to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Yu Xiaogang was equally anxious; he wanted his father to send him to Spirit Hall as soon as possible.
Bibi Dong had already received the inheritance of a divine position. Yu Xiaogang was confident that, with his charm and command, he could rekindle their old relationship. Perhaps after Bibi Dong became a god, she might even help him obtain the position of God of Wisdom.
But on the eve of their departure for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, something forced them to stop.
After Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, Oscar and Ma Hongjun had also vanished without a trace.
"Ma Hongjun is my disciple! How could he leave the academy?!"
Flender roared. All he wanted now was to find his precious disciple. As the final consolation of his later years, the Four-Eyed Owl had a chance to raise a phoenix—how could he possibly give that up?
"Flender, my clan is full of excellent young talents. Going to the sect is more important. When we get there, I'll find you a dozen or so disciples. They'll definitely be better than those two traitors, Ma Hongjun and Oscar."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang say that only made Flender angrier.
"Isn't this all because your disciple set such a fine example? They're all aiming too high. There's no need to guess—they must have run off one after another to that so-called Great Wall Academy!"
Still unable to calm himself, he continued,
"Does having a strong dean and strong teachers automatically make an academy good? When the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament comes around, let that Great Wall Academy compete against us!"
The more Flender spoke, the more worked up he became, completely forgetting that Shrek Academy not only lacked the qualifications to participate, but no longer had even a single student.
When Flender mentioned Tang San, Yu Xiaogang's already stiff, ugly face immediately turned cold. He retorted icily.
"Xiao San did not betray his teacher. What is Great Wall Academy supposed to be? How could it possibly understand teaching and nurturing students, or planning spirit skill combinations, better than I do? Haotian Your Excellency must have taken Xiao San away to train. Stop talking nonsense!"
Flender's words made Yu Xiaogang's facial muscles twitch, but at that moment, he heard the Golden Ranking begin another announcement.
Lightning danced wildly across the sky as the Golden Ranking began to flash with dazzling golden light.
It was exactly the seventh day since the Golden Ranking had descended, not a second off.
As though it were building momentum for the upcoming announcement of first place, strange phenomena surged through the heavens. Golden light accompanied falling lightning, auspicious clouds set off the heavenly radiance, and the spectacle was magnificent.
[Golden Ranking Supreme Combat Power First Place, Great Wall Academy, Gods and Demons Douluo—Su Han!] [First Martial Soul: Blade of Gods and Demons. Second Martial Soul: Golden Crow Di Jun. Level ninety-nine Power Attack System Limit Douluo!]
The Golden Ranking's first place had, without question, gone to Great Wall Academy's dean.
Twin Martial Souls—one weapon and one beast. Just hearing it was enough to make it sound unimaginably top-tier.
The major forces across the continent were left speechless. Comparing people truly could drive one to death from envy.
Within Five Elements Academy, talented students raised their heads one after another to look at the Golden Ranking in the sky.
Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Feng Xiaotian were all so stunned by the heavenly phenomenon that their heads spun.
They had all thought themselves geniuses, but across the entire continent, who could possibly be more gifted than the Golden Ranking's first place?
"Can I become someone like that?"
This was the thought in the minds of every young and teenage Soul Master on the continent. And Su Han, the dean of Great Wall Academy whom the Golden Ranking had declared the strongest in the world,
was holding Shao Siyuan as he watched a Soul Grandmaster and a Soul Elder engage in the most primitive kind of slaughter.
Dai Mubai had also been provoked into a rage. His pale-purple thousand-year third spirit skill lit up.
"Third Spirit Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
The sudden surge of tremendous strength sent Xiao Wu flying. Tang San, already overwhelmed by grief, let out a furious roar.
"No!!!!!"
The sleeve arrow in his hand shot forth, aimed straight at Dai Mubai's throat.
"Clang—!"
Every hair on Dai Mubai's body stood on end. The sensation of death in that instant forced him to throw a desperate punch, and by sheer luck, he knocked away the deadly sleeve arrow.
"First Spirit Skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Tang San fought for his life the moment he attacked, with no intention whatsoever of protecting himself.
His mother had been humiliated, his father severely wounded, and Xiao Wu defeated. Tang San no longer had any reservations.
A pitch-black little hammer suddenly appeared in his hand. Relying on the movement techniques from his past life, he swiftly closed in on Dai Mubai.
The Clear Sky Hammer fell, and the White Tiger died.
Blood sprayed across the green trees and grass of the Extreme North, making one's stomach turn.
After killing Dai Mubai, Tang San nervously looked at Su Han in midair.
"Respected Dean of Great Wall Academy, we never intended to offend you. I will take my father and sister away now. Tang San kneels in thanks!"
Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.
"What? You're saying the Heaven Dou Empire's emperor wants me to withdraw my troops?!"
Bibi Dong's aura erupted, forcing the Red Cardinal who had come to deliver the news to kneel on the ground, too afraid to say another word.
Bibi Dong's expression was strange, but her heart was filled with fury.
Qian Renxue, proof of her suffering, was not only delaying her unification plans, but also humiliating her.
She, Bibi Dong, the dignified Pope of Spirit Hall, had been forced to withdraw her troops because those elders knew Qian Renxue was now the emperor of Heaven Dou. She had lost all face!
"Send out the troops! Send out the troops!"
Bibi Dong issued her final ultimatum. She was determined to erase the Clear Sky Sect from the continent.
But the Golden Ranking's announcement in the sky made her already ugly expression look as though she had swallowed something foul.
"Why?! Why?! Why?! I am the God-Chosen One!"
Great Wall Academy's dean had taken first place on the Golden Ranking, while Spirit Hall, which she considered the continent's number one force, had only ranked eighth with her as its Pope.
How humiliating. How utterly humiliating!
Evil energy began to surge around her, and the Red Cardinal's eyes filled with terror.
The current Bibi Dong made him feel as though he were facing an evil god. Though he had never seen one before, that oppressive presence instinctively filled him with fear.
"You will remain loyal to me, won't you?"
Before you continue
