Everyone Thinks They're Number One in the God Realm? Chang'an Ranks First!

"Xiao Wu, why do you want to withdraw from the academy?"

Flender was startled by Xiao Wu's words and hurriedly asked.

Zhao Wuji, who had been cautioned by Tang Hao, was also shocked and stepped forward to persuade her:

"Is this because of what happened with Tang San? It's just a normal lovers' spat; there's no need to withdraw!"

Seeing this, Tang San grew anxious and instinctively wanted to stop her.

However, he was held back by Yu Xiaogang, who said coldly:

"Tang San, she is deliberately using the threat of withdrawal to provoke you and force you to bow your head. Don't fall for her trap!"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun nodded in agreement, their tone carrying the certainty of those who had been through it:

"You have to be tough with this kind of woman. If you're soft, she'll be hard; if you're hard, she'll be soft! Just give her the cold shoulder, and before long, she'll definitely come back and apologize!"

Teacher is right; Teacher would never harm me!

Tang San was convinced. He abruptly stepped forward to block the two who were trying to persuade her and said in a deep voice:

"Dean, Teacher Zhao, no need to persuade her. Since she wants to withdraw, let her withdraw."

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Xiao Wu and rebuked her word by word:

"Get lost!"

Xiao Wu had long since given up on him, and at this moment, there wasn't the slightest ripple in her heart.

"Fine, let's part ways here!"

She dropped those words and turned to leave, her back filled with resolution.

Tang San's heart twitched, but he quickly clenched his fists and whispered firmly:

"Teacher is never wrong. Xiao Wu will definitely come back to my side and apologize obediently later!"

Flender and Zhao Wuji were anxious and exchanged glances, intending to chase after her.

But when they met the coldness in Tang San's eyes, they stopped in their tracks.

What if I offend him because of Xiao Wu... Sigh, I can't please either side, it's better to just stay out of it.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together and looked up at the Sky Screen with curiosity:

"The Star Dou Forest is only ranked second despite having divine beasts. What kind of existence will the next power on the list be?"

The corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth curled into a look of disdain, and he snorted self-righteously:

"Hmph, this wild list keeps throwing out the divine foundations of major powers. To put it bluntly, it's just to show off how powerful the gods are and to build momentum for the divine factions! Therefore, the number one spot must be that damn God Realm!"

Everyone couldn't help but feel that made sense, and they all looked forward to seeing what kind of foundation the God Realm possessed.

Only Zhu Zhuqing was different. She watched Xiao Wu walk away, then looked up at the Sky Screen, murmuring worriedly:

"The relationship between Martial Soul Hall and Star Luo... if I defect there, it would be no different than walking into a trap. The second-ranked Star Dou is a soul beast faction..."

"There is only the number one spot left. Will it be a faction suitable for me to join? I hope the first place isn't the God Realm, otherwise, I truly have nowhere left to go."

Martial Soul City, Pope Palace.

Unconcealed shock surged in the eyes of Bibi Dong.

But it was suppressed within an instant, her voice carrying her habitual majesty and greedy ambition:

"The Star Dou Forest actually hides so many 'treasures'. Hehe, very good, they will all be mine!"

"Once I clear out Heaven Dou and Star Luo and unify the continent, I will personally lead my troops to Star Dou and claim these things that are already in my pocket!"

"At that time, I will surely be the strongest person in the world. I will be able to destroy the Qian family, destroy this world, and take revenge on that beast and the injustice this world has shown me!"

"Hehe... Hahahahahaha!!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong slowly stood up and looked at the Sky Screen, snorting coldly:

"All the powers of the world have been announced. This number one spot, I fear, can only be the God Realm, right?"

Worship Hall.

The elders of the Worship Hall were originally asking Snake Lance and Pufferfish about the situation with Qian Renxue.

At this moment, they were interrupted by the suddenly updated Sky Screen. When they looked up and saw the content, they were all shocked on the spot!

And when Golden Crocodile saw the "Three-Eyed Golden Lion", his eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly:

"Brothers, that Three-Eyed Golden Lion possesses the two ultimate attributes of light and fire; it is practically born for Xiao Xue. Why don't we... hehehe!"

The other elders looked closely and their eyes also lit up one after another:

"I don't know what its age is, but for a soul beast like this, the age doesn't matter anymore, right? It's definitely worth considering!"

Qian Daoliu, however, frowned and interrupted in a deep voice:

"Absolutely not! This is the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Forest. If we touch her, it will inevitably provoke the wrath and retaliation of all the soul beasts in Star Dou!"

The gathered elders agreed with this logic, but how could they simply give up on such a peerless soul beast?

"Big Brother is right; we must wait for the opportune moment to strike. The situation on the continent is about to fall into turmoil, so it is best not to act rashly for now."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, looking at the two elders kneeling before him, and said with majesty:

"Very well, I am already aware of the situation with Xiao Xue. Return to her side and bring these two soul bones to her."

As he spoke, he took out two perfect seventy-thousand-year soul bones he had recently acquired and handed them over.

The Angel God Set consists of six bones, but Xiao Xue has only absorbed three so far; the remaining three require the completion of trials before they can be absorbed.

It is uncertain if Xiao Xue will have the ability to pass the trials and absorb them all in the future, but until then, she can use these two soul bones as a stopgap.

"Understood! We will certainly not fail the Great Elder's commission!"

Snake Lance and Pufferfish each took a bone, turned, and departed swiftly.

The elders watched them leave, then frowned and asked:

"Great Elder, what kind of power will be ranked first next?"

Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment and said:

"Perhaps, only the God Realm remains!"

Sea God Island.

The Seven Sacred Pillars were reporting the situation to Bo Saixi:

"Great Elder, the casualty statistics for our subjects have been compiled, and the numbers are extremely staggering!"

"Most of the severely injured subjects have been eroded by the dark soul power of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Ordinary methods cannot heal them; we can only suppress the effects for now."

"What should we do? Unless we manifest the legendary Sea God's Light, perhaps there is no other way to possess a more powerful healing method!"

Bo Saixi fell into deep thought, momentarily at a loss.

Just then, the Sky Screen updated, and the words "Life Lake" in the Star Dou Forest became particularly conspicuous.

"Great Elder, the spring water of this Life Lake might be effective!"

Sea Witch immediately stepped forward and volunteered:

"I am half-human and half-beast; perhaps I can use my identity as a soul beast to 'trick' some spring water back to save our subjects!"

Bo Saixi and the other six Sacred Pillars felt it was too risky.

But for the sake of her subjects, Bo Saixi nodded:

"Very well, then you shall go! Remember to be careful in everything. If your identity is exposed and you encounter a crisis, invoke my name as the Great Elder of Sea God Island!"

Afterward, everyone looked at the Sky Screen and couldn't help but ask:

"Great Elder, even Star Dou, which possesses divine beasts, is only second. What kind of power will take the first spot next?"

Bo Saixi truly could not think of any place other than the God Realm, and she said in a low voice:

"Only the God Realm!"

Demon Shark Bay on the outskirts of Sea God Island.

Xiao Bai's clansmen were in a state similar to the subjects of Sea God Island, and she was at a loss, reduced to tears:

"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not protecting you all, for letting that bastard Deep Sea Demonic Whale King hurt you, wuwuwu..."

The Demon Soul Great White Sharks knew this was not their leader's fault, but they didn't know how to speak up.

When the Sky Screen descended, Xiao Bai also locked her eyes on the "Life Lake," and she immediately seemed to see hope:

"Perhaps this life spring water can save my severely injured clansmen. I must go to the Star Dou Forest myself!"

At this moment, her daughter Bai Xiuxiu volunteered:

"Mother, you need to stay here to stabilize everyone. Let me go instead!"

Although Bai Xiuxiu is currently only a seventy-thousand-year soul beast, she, like her mother Xiao Bai, can briefly transform into human form at will by relying on her Demon Soul Great White Shark bloodline.

Xiao Bai was worried, but looking at the clan that could not do without her, she had to nod:

"Xiuxiu, you must be careful. Remember to leave traces of our clan everywhere you go so it is easy for Mother to find you."

(Bai Xiuxiu, the heroine of the original Douluo Dalu IV)

The ocean, Demonic Whale Sea Area.

The Demon Empress and Lan Fozi had already rescued the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

However, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was severely wounded and was now in a near-death coma.

"What should we do, Mother? Father's injuries! Ordinary healing methods are completely useless!"

The mother and daughter were at a loss.

The Sky Screen happened to update the ranking, and the "Life Lake" listed upon it also caught their attention.

"Mom, let me go! I will go to that Star Dou Forest to find the Life Spring Water and bring it back to save Dad! You stay here to protect Dad!"

Lan Fozi said anxiously.

As a member of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, one could freely transform into human form without restriction upon reaching one hundred thousand years of cultivation.

The Demon Empress had no other choice but to nod in agreement, planting a Demon Seed Imprint in her mental sea that allowed for remote sensing.

The entire plane was tensely watching the Sky Screen at this moment, waiting for the top spot to be announced.

Just like the major powers, everyone in the world guessed that the top spot must undoubtedly belong to the God Realm.

"Rumble----"

Finally, following a humming sound that resonated throughout the universe, the top spot arrived!

Every stroke that appeared was accompanied by a tremor, causing the minds of all living beings to shake violently!
