The Cautious Heavenly Screen

[Evaluation: As the Qilin Marshal commanding the beast army of the Ming Realm, Qilin Douluo is also one of the Three Generals under the Lord of the Ming Realm. His martial soul, Capture King Armor, makes him the king among beasts and a key figure in upholding the laws of the Ming Realm and justice in the world. His Armor Beast Divine Might Qilin even possesses the ability to traverse time and space. With strength at the ninety-eighth rank, he can contend head-on with a Level Ninety-Nine Limit Douluo—a terror of such magnitude that he ranks seventh.]

[Reward: Soul Power Increased by One Level, all Soul Ring Lifespans increased by thirty-four thousand years, God Position God Exam of the God of Time.]

With this revelation, the hearts of the people on the continent were stirred once more.

"Another person from the Ming Realm, and they can suppress Tang Chen, who is called Invincible on the Ground?"

"How terrifying—to rank above a Level Ninety-Nine Limit Douluo with only ninety-eighth rank strength."

"Is this the power of the people of the Ming Realm? It's simply too frightening!"

Earlier, Tang Chen's appearance had already stirred up raging waves across the continent, and now Nangong Xin's inclusion on the list sparked even more debate.

Clear Sky Sect.

In the Great Hall on the plaza.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"How can a mere ninety-eighth rank Super Douluo be ranked above our sect's ancestor!"

The Second Elder stared at the ranking on the Sky Screen, his eyes turning scarlet red, his breath ragged as he pointed and cursed.

"That's right, what right does some brat have to stand above Ancestor Tang Chen!"

The Fourth Elder was equally furious.

The other elders also joined in, cursing Nangong Xin one after another.

Sect Master Tang Xiao watched this scene. Though his emotions were not as intense as the elders', displeasure was still written on his face.

After all, in his view, his grandfather Tang Chen could be called invincible under heaven.

Aside from Qian Daoliu, the Great Offering of Martial Soul Hall, who else could be his match?

Now, some random person was ranked above him, and that person only had ninety-eighth rank soul power.

This was simply too much to bear.

"Hmph! When our ancestor returns, we will surely seek out this Ming Realm and make them know the terror of our Clear Sky Hammer!"

The Second Elder snorted coldly, disdain clear on his face.

"Haha! Right you are, Second Brother speaks the truth!"

The other elders all chimed in agreement.

They had even begun to fantasize about the day Tang Chen would return, leading them to punch through Martial Soul Hall and kick down the Ming Realm.

At the same time.

Tang Chen, who had just left the City of Slaughter and was heading toward Sea God Island, stopped in his tracks upon seeing the Sky Screen Battle Power Ranking.

"Qilin Douluo Nangong Xin, is it?"

"How interesting." Tang Chen let out a faint smile, a fervent battle intent blazing in his eyes.

He felt no displeasure at Nangong Xin being ranked above him—only a stronger desire to test his strength against the man.

Tang Chen had absolute confidence in his own power. Even Qian Daoliu was no match for him.

The only reason he had been ranked later than Qian Daoliu this time was that his earlier mental instability had caused his combat power to decline.

He never believed he was much weaker than anyone else.

Such was the confidence of the one called Invincible on the Ground, one of the three Great Limit Douluo on the surface of the world—Tang Chen!

"But where exactly does this Ming Realm come from, to have such a powerful figure?"

"It seems I'll need to investigate thoroughly once I return to the Clear Sky Sect."

"Possessing the power to traverse time and space?"

"What a terrifying ability!"

The Second Worship, Jin'e Douluo, looked at the Sky Screen and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

He was deeply shaken by the power that Qilin Douluo Nangong Xin commanded.

"Indeed." Mighty Lion Douluo nodded affirmingly and remarked, "And the powers these people of the Ming Realm wield are truly bizarre and varied."

He recalled the Hurricane Douluo Xiao Feng and the Roaring Battle Horse Ma Qinghai, who had previously stormed Martial Soul Hall.

Those terrifying abilities were nothing like what ordinary elemental martial souls could achieve.

The other Worships also nodded in agreement.

Ever since the Sky Screen Battle Power Ranking had descended, they had witnessed all kinds of strange abilities from the people of the Ming Realm.

Some were immune to all poisons; others commanded the Wood Element Power of heaven and earth; still others controlled the four elemental forces of earth, water, wind, and fire.

Now even the power of time-space travel has appeared—truly terrifying beyond measure.

"God Position God Exam of the God of Time?"

Qian Daoliu, however, noticed the reward meant for Nangong Xin; the rest he did not pay much mind to.

Yet that final reward—the God Position God Exam of the God of Time—caused Qian Daoliu's expression to gradually turn grave.

Though he did not know the strength of this God of Time.

As a deity wielding the Power of Time, its strength would surely not fall far short of the Angel God.

With this thought, Qian Daoliu could not help but look up to the sky and sigh:

"Alas, the Bright Realm's power grows ever greater, reaching the ultimate..."

At this moment, within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Nangong Xin, who had been conversing with Dōngsēn, saw himself on the list and also let out a long sigh: "I've made the list after all. I didn't expect I'd only rank seventh?"

"Ah, I originally thought my strength could climb one spot higher."

The Dōngsēn Hall Master beside him heard this, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "You little brat, showing off in front of me, aren't you?!"

"Hehehe!" Nangong Xin scratched his head, a mischievous grin curling at the corner of his mouth.

Then, they saw a massive Golden Light Mass descend from the Sky Dome, along with a Silver-White Light Mass radiating the Power of Time.

Seeing this, Dōngsēn stepped aside, no longer disturbing Nangong Xin, preparing to let him absorb the rewards properly.

And Nangong Xin, seeing this, stopped his idle chatter.

He sat down cross-legged and actively guided that golden light into his body.

Instantly, a vast surge of heaven-earth energy flooded into his Limbs and Bones.

This power was not violent, but rather exceedingly gentle.

Nangong Xin began absorbing the reward.

At the same time, nine utterly terrifying soul rings—Four Black Five Red—manifested under the blessing of the Sky Screen reward.

Within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, everyone watched Nangong Xin absorbing the Sky Screen reward with fervent expressions.

"Hahaha! Worthy of the Nangong Marshal!"

"Another Level Ninety-Nine Extreme Douluo has been born in our Bright Realm!"

Everyone present began conversing with immense excitement.

Dugu Bo, watching the scene before him, was also thrilled beyond measure.

A Level Ninety-Nine Extreme Douluo being born right before his eyes—how could he not be excited, not be stirred?

This was a realm he could never reach even if he struggled his entire life.

Amid the crowd's chatter, time flew by.

Suddenly, a terrifying Energy Fluctuation swept out from Nangong Xin's body.

Nangong Xin slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath: "It's over—!"

The next moment, before he could even sense his newfound power.

The Silver-White Light Mass that had been floating in midair slowly descended before Nangong Xin.

But this time, unlike before with Duanmu Ting, it did not forcibly and domineeringly enter Nangong Xin's mind.

Instead, it merely swayed slightly in front of him.

As if asking the person before it whether he wished to accept the God Position God Exam of the God of Time.
