Heavenly Ranking Descends Again! Soul Master Strongest Ranking!

(Xiao Wu artwork)

At the very center of the Yellow Cube's bullseye, a brand-new bullet hole with perfectly neat edges had appeared!

Ten Rings!!!

"How is this possible!!!"

This time, the cries of shock no longer came only from ordinary Soul Masters. Even enshriners like Jiang Mo and Lion could not help crying out!

Guang Ling Douluo looked as though he had been struck by lightning. His face instantly turned deathly pale, and he staggered back several steps. Even the arm holding his divine bow trembled slightly.

At last, undisguised shock and gravity appeared on Qian Daoliu's normally placid face.

For the first time, his deep gaze scrutinized Lin Jiang and the silent Sniper with utmost seriousness, while towering waves surged within his heart.

"Ignoring the suppression of Soul Power Level, achieving absolute precision through the purest skill and conviction..."

"Just how many hidden masters like these does King's Hall possess?"

Qian Daoliu stared at the glaring Ten Rings bullet hole on the Light Screen.

Then he looked at Guang Ling Douluo beside him, pale-faced and utterly despondent.

In the end, all he could do was let out a heavy sigh.

That sigh carried not only helplessness over Guang Ling's defeat, but also deep wariness toward King's Hall's unfathomable foundation.

"Damn it! I refuse to accept this!"

Guang Ling Douluo suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. His delicate, handsome face twisted with rage as he pointed at Bai Li Shou Yue and shrieked,

"What kind of ability is relying on tricks?! If you've got the guts, face me in a proper one-on-one duel with Soul Skills! I'll shoot you full of holes!"

Though he was already over a hundred years old, he had devoted himself to the way of the bow all his life. In some respects, his temperament remained as stubborn as a child's, and he simply could not accept being crushed so thoroughly in the field he took the most pride in.

"Presumptuous! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

Qian Daoliu's low shout was like a morning bell and evening drum, making Guang Ling Douluo's aura falter.

His gaze flashed like lightning across the crowd before finally settling on Lin Jiang. His voice returned to its steady tone, though his decision was beyond question.

"Spirit Hall honors its wagers and accepts its losses. Since those are the arena's rules, the Divine Artifact and supreme treasure shall naturally be handed over."

With that, he turned his palm over, and light gathered within it.

The Heaven and Earth Supreme Treasure obtained from the Heavenly Ranking—the Holy Grail, radiating gentle yet vast life energy—slowly appeared.

The Holy Grail was crystal-clear, with what seemed like starlight flowing within. Merely appearing in the world, it filled the surrounding air with a refreshing vitality.

With a gentle push from Qian Daoliu, the Holy Grail became a streak of light and slowly flew toward Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang raised a hand in an empty grasp, and the Holy Grail stopped steadily before him. After briefly sensing the immense essence of heaven and earth within it, he smiled faintly and nodded.

"The Grand Enshriner acts openly and honorably. Admirable."

Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, he stored the Holy Grail in his Storage Space.

"Big Brother! We're just giving it to them?!"

Seeing this, Fourth Elder Mighty Lion Douluo's beard and hair bristled as rage burned in his chest.

His temper had always been violent. Now that his side had lost and even paid away a supreme treasure, how could he possibly endure it?

He suddenly stepped forward!

Boom—!

The terrifying pressure of a Level 97 Peak Douluo erupted without restraint!

His Soul Power surged like a tangible volcanic eruption—scorching, tyrannical, and filled with destruction—as it swept madly outward from him!

The compressed air exploded with thunderous blasts, and even the ground began to crack slightly!

On the nearby spectator stands, many Soul Masters with low Soul Power turned pale at once and found it difficult to breathe.

Even Ye Qingxian of the Nine Heart Begonia Sect changed expression and immediately shielded her daughter, Ye Lingling, behind her.

Only by releasing her Soul Power with all her strength did she barely manage to create a small safe area around them, resisting the terrifying aftershock of Soul Power. Sweat had already appeared on her brow.

"Fifth Brother, don't panic!" Mighty Lion Douluo roared like a lion, glaring furiously at Lin Jiang's side.

"The arena, right? I'll fight! I'll definitely take everything back, interest included!"

Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered, but he did not stop him immediately.

He calculated rapidly in his heart.

Fourth Elder Mighty Lion Douluo was renowned for his strength and explosive power, and his combat ability ranked among the best of the enshriners.

Between Peak Douluo, every single level of difference was like an impassable chasm.

According to the arena rules, King's Hall had to send someone with lower Soul Power than Fourth Elder...

Below Level 97, who could withstand Mighty Lion's furious assault?

This might be their best chance to overpower finesse with sheer strength and reverse the situation!

Just as Mighty Lion Douluo bristled with killing intent, preparing to name an opponent and forcibly begin another round of arena combat, with the powder keg about to ignite once more—

Bzzz—!!!

Without warning, the winds and clouds above changed again!

That familiar, vast, supreme pressure descended with a bang, like an Ancient Giant God awakening from slumber!

Dense Golden Auspicious Clouds surged in from every direction and gathered together, instantly blotting out the sun!

Thunder Dragons darted through the clouds, Dao Principles rumbled, and the spectacle seemed even more magnificent than when the Heavenly Ranking had appeared before!

Immediately afterward, the enormous phantom of a Golden Ranking, spanning the heavens with endless majesty, slowly condensed and unfurled once more amid boundless golden light!

[The Heavenly Ranking Descends Again!]

[This ranking is: Soul Master Strongest Ranking!]

[Only the continent's top Soul Master powerhouses may enter the ranking!]

[All those ranked shall receive generous rewards; those who enter the top three shall additionally receive Divine Artifacts!]

That majestic voice, as if descending from the Nine Heavens above, once more rang within the depths of every living being's soul!

"The Heavenly Ranking! It's the Heavenly Ranking again!"

"This time, it's the Soul Master Individual Ranking! It's no longer about factions!"

"My god! The rewards are still so generous! The top three even get Divine Artifacts!"

"The continent... is truly about to undergo a complete upheaval! The era of the strong has arrived!"

After a brief deathly silence, the entire canyon erupted with an uproar and shock greater than at any previous moment!

Everyone raised their heads, staring incredulously at the Heavenly Ranking shining with endless golden light.

They forgot the conflict before them, their hearts filled with immense shock and unprecedented anticipation!

Mighty Lion Douluo, who had been about to attack, also froze for a moment. Then he threw back his head and burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahahaha! Heaven is helping me! Soul Master Strongest Ranking! Good! Very good! This time, let's see who can rely on tricks!"

"I will definitely carve the name Mighty Lion onto that ranking!"

"Spirit Hall has countless experts! This time, we will surely occupy half the ranking!"

A sharp light also burst from Qian Daoliu's eyes. He looked up at the sky, his heart surging with heroic ambition.

"A heaven-sent opportunity! What a heaven-sent opportunity!"

He possessed absolute confidence that, with his Level 99 peak cultivation and demigod body, he would surely rank among the top three and obtain another Divine Artifact!

And within the Worship Hall, aside from him, the other six enshriners were all Peak Douluo above Level 96.

Such strength was rare even across the entire continent. It was not impossible for all of them to enter the ranking!

When that time came, Spirit Hall's prestige and power would rise to an unprecedented peak!

Almost at the same moment, every Titled Douluo-level powerhouse in the canyon, regardless of faction, had blazing light ignite in their eyes.

An individual ranking!

That meant an opportunity for every person to become renowned throughout the world!

King's Canyon, which had only just calmed down for a moment, fell into even greater turmoil and more complex undercurrents with the Heavenly Ranking's return!

Everyone's attention shifted from the arena to the Golden Heavenly Ranking that would determine their fates!
