The Tide Returns! Neuvillette, the Hydro Dragon Sovereign!

However, in the current situation, Tang San was their spiritual pillar and absolutely could not fall.

"That's right!"

Dai Mubai immediately burst into laughter, stepping forward to pat Tang San on the shoulder.

"Little San holds dual god positions! No matter how strong that Neuvillette is, he can't possibly be stronger than a God Realm enforcer, right?"

"Exactly, exactly!"

Oscar also hurriedly chimed in, "I think that so-called dragon is just a bigger loach; Third Brother could skewer it with one fork and roast it to eat!"

The others also chimed in one after another, though their voices ultimately lacked the confidence they had just a moment ago.

Tang San listened to these flatteries, his expression improving slightly, but the gloom in his heart grew even heavier.

Neuvillette...

He must be eliminated!

Skywater City, back garden.

Compared to the raging storms outside, the atmosphere here remained filled with that heart-fluttering, romantic leisure.

Neuvillette was still sitting on the bench, his slender fingers not stopping, continuing to gently knead Furina's soft, delicate calves.

"Oh my, it's all been exposed!"

Furina looked at the image in the sky, her small mouth pouting high in a display of great dissatisfaction.

"Even the Skywater Judgment has been revealed."

"If anyone comes looking for trouble in the future, they will definitely be prepared for this move."

"This Golden Ranking List is truly annoying; how can it have absolutely no sense of privacy?"

Although she complained with her mouth, her body honestly snuggled further into Neuvillette's arms, enjoying that unique sense of security.

Neuvillette's expression was calm; he did not feel the slightest panic because his trump card had been exposed.

"It is of no consequence."

"Knowing about it is one thing, but whether they can block it is quite another."

"Just like the rising and falling of the tides, everyone knows it happens, yet no one can stop it."

These words were extremely plain, yet they exuded a domineering aura that looked down upon the world.

Beside them, Xue Di covered her lips and chuckled, her ice-blue eyes filled with shimmering light.

She walked behind Neuvillette and reached out with her slender, fair hands to gently straighten his slightly messy collar, her movements as gentle as a virtuous little wife.

"Although this Golden Ranking List is a bit meddlesome, it isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Xue Di said softly, her voice ethereal and pleasant.

"Now that the entire continent knows of your strength, I presume those petty scoundrels won't dare to come to Skywater City and act recklessly so easily."

"And besides..."

Her beautiful eyes shifted, looking at the Golden Ranking List in the sky with a playful smile.

"Tang San was able to be directly canonized as a god just for being in fourth place."

"You are in third place; if the reward is lackluster, this Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking List would likely lose face."

"Perhaps, it might even grant you, this uncrowned king, another god position to play with?"

Hearing this, Neuvillette shook his head slightly.

"A god position, to me, is merely another form of shackles."

"I do not need the recognition of the God Realm."

What he intended to do was to judge the gods and redefine order, not to join that decaying system.

Xue Di looked at his indifferent yet firm profile, her infatuation deepening.

She bent down, her red lips leaning close to Neuvillette's ear, breathing like an orchid.

"Yes, my Lord Chief Justice."

"Since it has already been exposed, it is time for us to prepare to officially emerge."

"Skywater City has been silent for so long; it is time to let this continent hear the sound of the tides."

Just as the three of them were chatting and flirting.

The Golden Ranking List above the firmament finally brewed the reward belonging to the third place.

Boom--!

A beam of azure light, more brilliant and pure than before, pierced through the clouds and fell straight into Skywater City, landing upon the Relic Jade Dragon at Neuvillette's waist.

[Divine Weapon Ranking List third place reward distribution!]

[Divine artifact quality fully upgraded!]

[Relic Jade Dragon--Cangming Dragon Sacrifice Jade!]

The light dissipated.

The jade dragon in Neuvillette's hand had undergone a heaven-defying transformation.

The originally solid jade texture had now turned into a slowly flowing mass of liquid water-jade.

It was no ordinary water, but a deep, profound azure, with countless tiny dragon-shaped runes swimming within it.

On the surface of the jade dragon, layers of dense and ancient dragon scale patterns emerged, radiating a heart-stopping pressure.

Immediately after, new attribute descriptions appeared on the Golden Ranking List.

[Advanced Attribute: Original ability effects increased threefold!]

[New Supreme Power I: Dragon Sacrifice Contract!]

[Using this jade as a medium, one can conclude a "Water God Protection Contract" with any Soul Beast or human. When the contractor encounters fatal danger outside Skywater City, they can ignore spatial locks and instantly teleport back to the Dragon King Altar in Skywater City!]

[Note: This contract does not consume the life of Soul Beasts, does not restrict human freedom, can be signed in large quantities, and has no upper limit!]

[New Supreme Power II: Myriad Waters Return to Storage!]

[Can automatically absorb the "Origin of Water" from any water source on the Douluo Continent, converting it into "Power of Dragon Sacrifice" to repair and strengthen the ancient defensive array of Skywater City, or to nourish the cultivation of contractors.]

Looking at these two newly appeared power descriptions.

Even Neuvillette, who was always calm, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"This is..."

He gripped the warm Cangming Dragon Sacrifice Jade, feeling the profound spatial law power within it.

"A town portal scroll?"

This Dragon Sacrifice Contract was essentially the final piece of the puzzle for the "equal coexistence between humans and Soul Beasts" system he had always wanted to promote.

The "employment-based" contract he had proposed earlier was fair, but lacked absolute security.

Soul Beasts feared being used as cannon fodder, and humans feared being backstabbed by Soul Beasts.

But now, with this "Dragon Sacrifice Contract," once they encountered a lethal situation, they could teleport directly back to the city.

This was equivalent to giving every resident and Soul Beast in Skywater City an extra life!

And it was a forced teleportation that ignored spatial locks.

For Soul Beasts and Soul Masters who were still hesitating about whether to join Skywater City, this was an absolutely irresistible temptation.

"A good item."

A faint smile finally curled at the corners of Neuvillette's mouth, like ice melting for the first time.

"With this, the foundation of Skywater City is truly solidified."

Beside him, Furina was so excited that she jumped straight up from her lounge chair.

"Wow! Instant teleportation!"

"Neuvillette, hurry, hurry, hurry, set one up for me first!"

"That way, I can go wherever I want to play, and if I run into bad guys, I can just 'whoosh' right back to you to complain, hehehe!"

She hugged Neuvillette's arm and shook it, her large eyes full of mischief.

Xue Di was also pleasantly surprised.

"This Myriad Waters Return to Storage is also very strong."

"As long as there is water anywhere on the continent, it will provide a continuous stream of energy for Skywater City."

"In time, I fear even a God King wouldn't be able to break through the defensive array of Skywater City."

Skywater City was filled with joy.

But the outside world was completely stunned.

Everyone was rubbing their eyes, doubting if they had seen it wrong.

Instant teleportation? Ignoring spatial locks?

And it doesn't restrict freedom?

This isn't a divine artifact; this is a cheat code!

Inside the main tent of Martial Soul Hall.

The air was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and the others had their red lips parted, staring blankly at the sky.

The teacups in their hands had gone cold, yet they didn't even notice.

"This... it looks so familiar..."

Shui Yue'er stammered, breaking the silence.

"Is this really the jade pendant that the Headmaster uses as a paperweight?"

"The third place on the Golden Ranking List?"

???

Just what kind of terrifying existences could the top two be?

And do they belong to Skywater City...

Curiosity welled up in the heart of Shui Yue'er.
