[Reward: Soul Ring Lifespan increased by 2,200 years; all injuries fully healed]
The next moment, a golden light brimming with immense vitality shot toward the body of Mighty Lion Douluo, who lay in Qian Daoliu's arms in Spirit City.
In an instant, the immense vitality filled every limb and bone in Mighty Lion Douluo's body.
It continuously mended his life-threatening injuries.
In the blink of an eye, Mighty Lion Douluo, who had been gravely injured and on the verge of death, his consciousness hazy, came around.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the reward the Heavenly Screen had given him.
When he saw that he had received only two rewards, one of which was merely healing his injuries,
Mighty Lion Douluo didn't know how to react at first. Looking around in confusion, he asked, "W-What's going on?"
Seeing Mighty Lion Douluo awake and fully healed, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he asked with concern, "Old Fourth, how do you feel? Are you all right now?"
"If it weren't for the Heavenly Screen's reward this time, I'm afraid..."
"Alas!" Qian Daoliu shook his head with a sigh.
Only then did Mighty Lion Douluo understand. He abruptly looked up, staring fixedly at the Heavenly Screen and his own entry.
Gradually, as he made out the rewards listed there,
flames seemed to kindle in Mighty Lion Douluo's eyes.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"My rewards! My rewards!"
"You little thieves! You two little thieves! I, Mighty Lion, will never let this go! Never—!!!"
"AAAAAH—!"
His anguished voice rang across Spirit City, his resentment surging into the heavens.
Looking at the regretful, furious Mighty Lion Douluo, Qian Daoliu gave a helpless chuckle.
"You've got plenty of spirit, so it looks like you're fine."
Then, glancing at Demon Bear Douluo, whom he was supporting with his other hand, he sighed. "It's a shame about Demon Bear Douluo, though."
Bibi Dong walked toward Qian Daoliu, her expression dark as she gripped her scepter.
Looking at Demon Bear Douluo in his arms, she asked, "How is he?"
Qian Daoliu shook his head. "His life is out of danger, but his injuries are too severe. I'm afraid this is as far as he'll go."
At that, Bibi Dong's already dark expression turned colder than frost.
She watched the still-unconscious Demon Bear Douluo for a moment, then snorted and walked straight past Qian Daoliu.
"Wait. Who attacked our Spirit Hall this time?"
Watching Bibi Dong walk away without a word, Qian Daoliu shook his head helplessly, but didn't say anything more.
"The Bright Realm," Bibi Dong replied icily without looking back.
"The Bright Realm?"
At the name, Qian Daoliu paused in surprise, then looked up at the Heavenly Screen, at a loss for words.
After a long while, he sighed. "Troubled times. These really are troubled times."
"Where should our Spirit Hall go amid the tides of this era..."
Just as Qian Daoliu stood there with a worried expression,
a gruff voice, tinged with embarrassment, suddenly rang out:
"Big Brother, I'm awake! Put me down already!"
At this time, the various factions across the continent had naturally noticed the changes on the Heavenly Screen.
For a moment, they were all somewhat baffled.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Sword Uncle, Bone Uncle, did you see the change on the Heavenly Screen?" Ning Fengzhi asked, a little startled.
Bone Douluo nodded firmly. "I did. At first, Mighty Lion Douluo's reward had nothing to do with healing his injuries."
Sword Douluo Chenxin stood with one hand behind his back, studying the Heavenly Screen as he pondered. "Could Mighty Lion Douluo have suddenly suffered a serious injury?"
"Could that be why the Heavenly Screen changed his reward..."
Ning Fengzhi nodded gravely. "Something must have happened."
"But how could the Fourth Offering of the Spirit Hall have suddenly been so badly injured?"
As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi paused briefly.
He stood atop a mountain, his gaze deep as he looked toward the direction of Spirit Hall.
He murmured, "It seems... all we can do is wait for our informants in Spirit City to send word."
"Healing... healing..."
Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao recalled the recent changes to the Heavenly Screen, his expression alight with excitement.
The change to Mighty Lion Douluo's reward.
"Could this mean the Heavenly Screen is ranking people by their peak combat strength?"
"Hahahaha! Excellent, excellent! Looks like I qualify for the rankings too!"
Thinking this, Tang Hao glanced at Mighty Lion Douluo's name on the Heavenly Screen with disdain.
"A mere Spirit Hall offering is nothing compared to me!"
"My ranking will definitely be higher than theirs! Hahahaha!"
In the Bright Realm.
In a vast garden adjoining the Wood Element Hall,
Yu Yuan had transplanted all the vegetation he'd previously grown with Wood Element Power to this place.
He continued using his enhanced Wood Element Power to cultivate Immortal Grass.
He, too, had keenly noticed the change on the Heavenly Screen.
His sword-like brows lifted slightly as he pondered.
"Healing injuries? Before the final battle in the original story, Mighty Lion Douluo was never seriously injured."
"That means he must have been badly hurt recently."
Yu Yuan stopped releasing Wood Element Power and slowly straightened up.
"Could Xiao Feng and the others have crossed swords with Spirit Hall?"
"Honestly, I only asked them to pick someone up. How did they manage to stir up such a commotion?"
Yu Yuan shook his head with a sigh, worry creeping into his heart.
Though Xiao Feng and his companion were among the strongest on the continent,
and possessed an Armor Martial Soul capable of controlling two of the four elemental forces of the world—wind and water—
their strength was still a cut above others at the same level.
But Spirit Hall still had Qian Daoliu, the man Invincible in the Sky.
He immediately instructed Nangong Xin, who was looking around curiously at the unusual plants.
"Xiaoxin, Xiao Feng and the others may have run into trouble in Spirit City. Go and help them."
"Make sure they stay alive."
At that, Nangong Xin stopped looking around curiously.
He clasped his hands respectfully toward Yu Yuan.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"I'll set out right away."
Yu Yuan nodded in approval.
With Nangong Xin's current Level Ninety-Eight strength, along with his command of the Capture King Armor, one of the Four Ultimate Armors,
he could even stand against Qian Daoliu.
He was the perfect person to send.
Just as Nangong Xin left the Bright Realm, the golden Heavenly Screen in the sky changed once more.
[Combat Strength Ranking, No. 19: Sky Bat Douluo Xiao Tian] [Affiliation: Bright Realm] [Martial Soul: Aegis Armor] [Level: Level Ninety-Seven, Agility-Attack and Defense-Type Super Douluo] [Assessment: Sky Bat Douluo Xiao Tian is the Sky Bat General of the Bright Realm Beast Army, possessing the strength of a million-man army.
