Reactions from Major Factions, Yu Xiaogang Calls It a Sham Ranking!

Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged glances, feeling equally shocked.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan being ranked at the very bottom of the list completely shattered their understanding of the world.

Therefore, they deeply understood Ning Fengzhi's current state of mind and stepped forward one after another to offer comfort and encouragement:

"Fengzhi, pull yourself together! Don't worry about how many other unknown, powerful forces might be out there for now!"

"Since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could make the list, then our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect certainly can too!"

Ning Fengzhi felt a little better. He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and said:

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, you are right. I was just being too impatient. Let's keep watching."

He knew full well that if his sect failed to even make the list, they would inevitably be questioned by the outside world, and their influence would suffer a heavy blow.

But to be honest, he was tempted by the rewards; a one-level increase might just be the key to breaking through the bottleneck he had been unable to overcome!

Chen Xin and Gu Rong were equally tempted, though as their strengths were evenly matched, neither dared to be certain who would be chosen as the representative for the strongest combat power.

Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Xiao and the Five Great Elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The Seventh Elder, who had the shortest temper, was the first to lose his patience:

"If I hadn't seen that the sect master was that old dragon Yu Yuanzhen, I would have thought this was some fake, trash organization!"

The other elders also felt it was incredibly strange and began to discuss it heatedly:

"Although our sect has been in seclusion, we have Yuehua acting as our eyes and ears on the outside, so we have a firm grasp on the situation across the continent."

"There are still few forces that can shake the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so why are they only ranked fifteenth? And the rewards for fifteenth place are already so generous!"

Listening to their discussion, Tang Xiao grew increasingly anxious and sighed:

"Alas, there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond the heaven. I fear there are many forces in this world we know nothing about, and I don't know if our Clear Sky Sect can still..."

Before he could finish, the elders all rebuked him angrily:

"Tang Xiao, as the sect master, how can you say such disheartening words? Where has your ambition gone!"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could make the list with only one Title Douluo; we have six in the Clear Sky Sect, why wouldn't we make it!"

Tang Xiao looked at the impassioned elders, and a burning light reignited in his eyes:

"The elders are right to reprimand me! If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can make the list, then our Clear Sky Sect, as the head of the Upper Three Sects, certainly can too!"

Only then did the elders stop, their gazes returning to the golden Sky Screen suspended high in the air.

They firmly believed that the Clear Sky Sect would surely appear at a ranking worthy of its status!

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City Imperial Palace.

The civil and military officials were in an uproar, their faces flushed with excitement and their voices filled with disbelief:

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is at the bottom of the list? Are we all just frogs at the bottom of a well, unaware of the vastness of the world?"

"How powerful must the forces ranked above them be! And more importantly, those rewards—they are heaven-defying!"

Listening to the officials' discussion, Emperor Xue Ye was also at a loss, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Silence!"

At this moment, Marshal Ge Long suddenly shouted in a deep voice, instantly suppressing the noisy commotion in the hall.

Emperor Xue Ye looked as if he had seen a savior and asked urgently:

"Marshal Ge Long, what is your take on this?"

Marshal Ge Long stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I believe that the existence of hidden, powerful forces in the world is not necessarily a bad thing."

"As those powerful forces are revealed one by one, we can seek them out and win them over to strengthen the Empire!"

"Plus, since we in Heaven Dou also have a chance to make the list, Your Majesty need not worry; we only need to wait for the list to continue being revealed!"

Emperor Xue Ye felt slightly relieved and turned his gaze back to the Sky Screen high above.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, did not speak, but her heart grew increasingly uneasy.

She had initially worried that the rewards from the list would not outweigh the risk of exposing the foundation of Martial Soul Hall, but it seemed she had worried for nothing.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was only at the bottom, yet the rewards were already so generous; the rewards for higher ranks would only be more bountiful.

What worried her now was that if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was only ranked this low, did Martial Soul Hall even have a chance to take the top spot?

Qian Renxue shook her head and cast her gaze toward the distant Martial Soul City; now, she could only trust in Martial Soul Hall and trust in her grandfather and the others!

Martial Soul City, Worship Hall.

The previously confident elders were all shocked the moment they saw the list.

"Big Brother, what is going on? Do you have any idea?"

The gazes of all the titled elders fell squarely upon Qian Daoliu.

Martial Soul Hall had eyes and ears spread across the entire continent; was there any hidden clan or power they weren't already aware of?

No matter how you added them up, or how you ranked them, there was no way there could be fourteen powers superior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

Qian Daoliu shook his head, then seemed to recall something, and said in a deep voice:

"This Power Ranking likely doesn't just list soul master factions; imperial powers and soul beast factions might be on the list as well!"

Upon hearing this, the confusion in the hearts of the elders was instantly cleared away.

"Haha, so that's it. That makes sense."

Golden Crocodile smoothed his furrowed brows and said with full confidence:

"With the foundation of our Martial Soul Hall, we would crush these imperial powers and soul beast factions all the same. We are certain to take the top spot!"

"Besides, this ranking is quite fair. The rewards are specifically split into two parts, so there's no need to worry about Bibi Dong hogging them all. How delightful, how delightful!"

The other elders nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with anticipation for what heaven-defying rewards the top spot might hold.

Pope Palace.

The composure on the faces of the two elders, Ju and Gui, had long since been replaced by gravity.

They were just about to cry out in alarm when they were interrupted by a cold snort from Bibi Dong:

"No need to panic. This world isn't composed solely of soul master factions; it is perfectly normal for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to be at the bottom of the list."

Hearing this, elders Ju and Gui suddenly realized the truth and immediately bowed:

"Your Holiness is wise! No matter what kind of power it is, it certainly cannot compete with our Martial Soul Hall for the top spot!"

As Bibi Dong raised her slender, jade-like palm to catch a butterfly that had flown in from nowhere, she gave a wicked smile:

"That goes without saying. If any power dares to contend with our Martial Soul Hall, then... heh, it shall be destroyed!!"

As she finished speaking, her palm clenched shut, and the butterfly in her hand was instantly annihilated by purple-black soul power.

"Gulp~"

Elders Ju and Gui were both startled, swallowing hard and lowering their heads, not daring to look again.

"Heh... hahahahaha."

Bibi Dong laughed wickedly, casting her gaze once more toward the Sky Screen high above. She was determined to claim the top spot!

Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.

Everyone was plunged into shock upon seeing the list revealed by the Sky Screen.

Flender and Zhao Wuji, who knew the true identity of Yu Xiaogang, instinctively turned their gazes toward him.

"No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Noticing their strange looks, Yu Xiaogang immediately shook his head frantically, pointing at the Sky Screen and shouting angrily:

"How could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan be ranked last? Someone must be maliciously smearing them. This Heavenly Ranking is nothing but a sham!"

Although he had been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he still considered the sect his pride and joy.

Now that he saw the sect he was so proud of in such a state, how could he not be furious? He was practically going insane!

The others were just about to step forward to comfort him, but they were stopped by a light cough from Ning Rongrong, who covered her mouth and sneered:

"You all saw it, right? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is ranked at the bottom. This is the true tail-end of the Upper Three Sects!"
