[Power Ranking, 12th Place: Star Luo Imperial Family]

[Ruler Representative: Dai Xiaotian]

[Strongest Combat Representative: Dai Xiaotian]

[Evaluation: The Star Luo Imperial Family is centered on the Dai Clan, with the Zhu Clan as subordinates. Renowned for their martial prowess, they adhere to the principle that "the strong are respected." Through a cruel mechanism of "survival of the fittest," they ensure every ruler possesses true capability, weeding out incompetent, cowardly "waste" and "parasites." The Dai Clan inherits the top-tier assault-type beast martial soul, Evil Eye White Tiger, while the Zhu Clan inherits the top-tier agility-type beast martial soul, Hell Spirit Cat. Although these two martial souls barely qualify as top-tier on their own, their qualities and attributes are highly compatible, allowing them to unleash the powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, capable of challenging enemies beyond their own level!

The entire Star Luo Imperial Family is militaristic, building their nation on military strength. They established and have long ruled the Star Luo Empire, one of the two great empires of the Douluo Continent. The empire possesses immense national power, occupying the majority of the Douluo Continent's territory, with tens of millions of subjects, millions of mortal troops, thousands of soul master legions, and three Soul Douluo royal members. They also possess a private institution, the Star Luo Royal Academy, which houses a vast number of soul masters and is overseen by two Soul Douluo deans! Furthermore, they maintain close cooperation with countless sects and academies of all sizes within the empire!]

[Low-tier Reward: The soul power level of both representatives increases by one level, and the age of all soul rings increases by 2,500 years (if the representative is a duplicate, it is replaced by a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone perfectly adapted to the martial soul)!]

The moment the list updated, the entire continent seemed to have been pressed with a pause button.

A moment later, a clamor erupted, three times more intense than the previous three, truly sweeping across the heavens and the earth.

"Can an empire even count as a power on the list? But why is the Star Luo Empire only ranked twelfth?!"

"Neither the Heaven Dou Empire nor Martial Soul Hall has appeared on the list yet, so how did the Star Luo Empire make it on so quickly!"

"Exactly, isn't it recognized as the strongest empire? To not even make the top ten, it must be all bark and no bite!"

At the same time, the upper three sects, as well as the Pope and the two halls of elders of Martial Soul Hall, were plunged into shock.

None of these powers could have imagined that a behemoth like the Star Luo Empire would be nothing more than this!

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City Imperial Palace.

"Preposterous! Our Star Luo Empire is only a mere twelfth!!!"

Sitting on the throne, the Star Luo Emperor Dai Xiaotian roared, smashing the pure gold armrest as he stood up.

"Heaven Dou and Martial Soul Hall haven't even appeared on the list, yet we have; this is a supreme humiliation!!"

His Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul manifested instantly amidst his roar, accompanied by eight soul rings.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black!

His level 89 soul power surged without restraint, sweeping through the entire great hall.

The civil and military officials in the hall knelt in unison, not daring to lift their heads, trembling as they said:

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

The First Prince, Dai Weisi, stepped forward at this moment, his voice clear and forceful:

"Father, please calm your anger. Although the ranking is poor, the rewards are not, and they are exactly what we in Star Luo need!"

"You have been stuck at the level 89 bottleneck for many years; this one-level increase is just enough to help you ascend to Title Douluo!"

"The Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone from the duplicate reward can be given to Mother; I am certain it will help her break through her level 89 bottleneck as well."

"Ascending two Title Douluo simultaneously is enough to raise our Star Luo's combat power to a new level, providing the confidence to compensate for the ranking gap."

As these words fell, the civil and military officials in the hall echoed their agreement.

Empress Zhu Qingyue, sitting on the secondary throne, also slowly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, Weisi is right. What we must do now is make good use of these rewards and prepare for any variables that may follow."

After hearing this, Dai Xiaotian had no choice but to let it go; no matter how angry he was, it was merely impotent rage.

The next moment, a golden pillar of light containing the heaven-sent reward descended, enveloping him.

"Swish--"

Under the shocked gazes of everyone in the hall, Dai Xiaotian broke through to level 90 with a boom!

The standard soul ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and four black beneath his feet also sublimated into four purple and four black at this moment!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for ascending to Title Douluo, may you protect our Star Luo Empire for generations to come!"

The civil and military officials in the hall kowtowed in unison, their voices making the golden-bricked floor vibrate slightly.

Feeling the surging soul power within his body, the anger churning in Dai Xiaotian's evil eyes gradually subsided.

"Is this level 90? A difference of one level is like a chasm!"

After an excited shout, he handed the soul bone representing the duplicate reward to Zhu Qingyue and said earnestly:

"Yue'er, absorb it. Once you also ascend to Title Douluo, our Martial Soul Fusion Skill will surely advance even further!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qingyue took it with both hands, turned, and left to find a quiet place to absorb it.

Dai Xiaotian looked back at the sky, he was unconvinced, truly unconvinced; what kind of powers could possibly be above them!

Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.

"Even the Star Luo Empire is only twelfth?"

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others were stunned. Was this sky list for real?

The most excited of all was Dai Mubai, who roared internally:

"Impossible! How could my vast Star Luo be so pathetic! The Grandmaster is right, this is just a wild ranking list!!"

Zhu Zhuqing was also incredibly astonished, but what followed was a sense of endless relief and expectation.

With so many powers stronger than Star Luo, she believed there would surely be one that suited her wishes to join!

At this moment, someone spoke up:

"Look at the evaluation. It describes Star Luo's national strength as so powerful, yet it's only ranked a measly twelfth. How strange."

When the mention of looking at the evaluation came up, everyone carefully read through it once more.

When they saw the 'Evil Eye White Tiger of the Dai Clan' and the 'Hell Spirit Cat of the Zhu Clan'.

The next moment, everyone's gaze locked onto Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, are you two from the Star Luo Imperial Family?!"

Xiao Wu exclaimed, causing both of their expressions to shift slightly.

"Sigh, it can't be hidden anymore."

Flender sighed, adjusted his glasses, and nodded:

"Yes, Dai Mubai is the third prince of Star Luo, and Zhu Zhuqing is his... well, you can probably guess."

Hearing this, the way everyone looked at the two changed.

Especially Ma Hongjun, who had seen the least of the world, immediately exclaimed:

"Holy crap, Boss Dai, you hid that deep! Are you here to experience life? Don't forget about me when you go back to inherit the throne later."

"Back then, when you said you had an itch, it was me who took you to the brothel to take care of it. From then on, you were unstoppable; it's all thanks to me, hahaha!"

Dai Mubai panicked internally and hurriedly looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Disgusting!"

Zhu Zhuqing's stomach churned violently; the rumors in the academy about Dai Mubai were actually true.

She had originally thought that Dai Mubai fleeing back then wasn't out of cowardice, but to seek opportunities to become stronger, training diligently while waiting for the right moment to return.

That was why she had traveled ten thousand miles, risking the death of being hunted down by her sister Zhu Zhuyun, to escape here and find Dai Mubai.

Yet she hadn't expected that Dai Mubai was the exact opposite of what she had imagined; he was simply a coward, a piece of trash, and not worth her coming to find at all!

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and asked suspiciously:

"But even if you're experiencing life, you wouldn't come here, right? I saw the Sky Screen evaluation say that Star Luo screens its heirs. You wouldn't happen to have been screened out, forced to leave, or escaped, would you?"

Tang San and the others found this reasonable, and their gazes toward the two changed once again.

Exposed in front of everyone, Dai Mubai's face instantly flushed red, and the veins on his forehead throbbed violently!
