The Ice Empress sat upon her throne of ice sculptures, lowering her head to read through the Mystic Ice Art. The more she read, the more engrossed she became, feeling as though her mind had been suddenly enlightened.

She had never imagined that ice attributes could be cultivated this way. It was simply miraculous.

She was as excited as if she had discovered a divine tome from beyond the heavens.

She read so avidly that she forgot to eat and sleep, and even forgot that the Heavenly Ranking was about to reveal another list.

Everyone on the Douluo Continent watched the Heavenly Ranking.

They wanted to see who had made the ranking.

Before long, one line of large golden characters after another appeared.

Everyone held their breath.

The continent fell into dead silence.

[Beauty Ranking, tied for eighth place: Zhao Yun] [Affiliation: Qingyun Academy] [Appearance: 97.5] [Evaluation: Zhao Yun is a teacher at Qingyun Academy. His bearing is imposing, his physique tall and strong, and his body as perfect as though the heavens had meticulously sculpted it. His features are exquisite, his gaze radiant, his skin fair with a rosy glow, and his temperament exceptional. His charm is extraordinary. Although Zhao Yun is also a handsome man, he originally would not have qualified for the ranking. However, Zhao Yun ate Immortal Herbs at Qingyun Academy, drank Spirit Liquid, and cultivated Daoist Arts and Cultivation Techniques. His features became even more refined, his eyes more spirited, his skin more translucent, his temperament more ethereal, his charm more captivating, and his figure even more pleasing. Moreover, he possesses the heart of a powerhouse who once charged in and out of an army of thousands without fearing death. Taking all this into account, he qualifies for the ranking!] [Reward: All soul ring age limits increased by 18,000 years, domain power +200%, temperament +30, charm +30]

"Whoa..."

The people of the Douluo Continent erupted once again.

The uproar was deafening, like mountains roaring and seas crashing.

It was far too loud.

No one had expected another stunningly beautiful man to make the list.

And he was another teacher from Qingyun Academy!

How were all the other beauties supposed to live now?

Just what kind of monsters were the people of Qingyun Academy?

Was this Heavenly Ranking opened specifically for Qingyun Academy?

Many people felt shocked and angry.

Of course, even more of them were helpless.

Yes, deeply helpless and unconvinced.

"Buzz..."

However, the Heavenly Ranking suddenly shone with boundless golden light.

An image appeared within the Heavenly Ranking.

It was of an incomparably handsome man.

Anyone who looked upon his handsome face would remember it deeply.

They all felt inferior.

Many soul masters who considered themselves beautiful were also stunned by his beauty.

Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Prince Palace.

"Damn... this is unbelievable. This Beauty Ranking was clearly made for Qingyun Academy. How can someone as handsome as me not make the list?"

As soon as Guang Ling finished speaking, he saw the image on the Heavenly Ranking and immediately fell silent.

"This Zhao Yun really is a little more beautiful than me... I take back what I just said!"

"Haha... Elder Guang Ling, words once spoken are like water spilled! You are indeed very handsome, but compared to the man in the Heavenly Ranking's image, you truly are..."

"You are still very handsome..."

Xue Qinghe interrupted Elder Snake Lance.

"There is actually a handsome man in this world who is only slightly inferior to Lu Xia. The people of Qingyun Academy are all dragons and phoenixes among men!"

"Indeed! Young Master, that was very well said. The people of Qingyun Academy are all dragons and phoenixes among men!"

Elder Porcupinefish agreed as well.

Shrek Academy.

Tang San looked at the Heavenly Ranking's information, his face full of dissatisfaction and speechlessness. "Hmph... this Heavenly Ranking doesn't even look at how handsome the few of us are. Why does it only let people from Qingyun Academy make the list? It really has no ey—"

"Exactly! Someone as handsome as me should make it too! It's truly blind!"

Dai Mubai grunted. He thought himself quite handsome and believed he could definitely enter the top ten.

"Look, there's a portrait! There's a portrait of Zhao Yun!"

When Oscar saw the handsome man, his eyes widened so much that his eyeballs nearly popped out. His pupils dilated, and his mouth hung wide open.

"Th-this is far too handsome. Is he even human? He's practically a god!!! That body, that figure, that temperament, that charm... it's simply... too perfect!"

"Damn..."

Dai Mubai had just claimed that he could make the ranking too, but the moment he looked up and saw Zhao Yun's portrait, he immediately shut his mouth. His face burned fiercely; he had just slapped himself in the face.

He felt that his own handsomeness truly could not compare to Zhao Yun's.

He was astonished that such an incomparably handsome man existed in this world.

"Holy shit..."

As Tang San looked at the portrait in the sky, only one phrase could express how badly he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

Before, when there had been no portrait, he could still complain a few times about the unfairness.

Now, the Heavenly Ranking had directly revealed the portrait.

That was just insane.

It left him feeling somewhat too ashamed to show his face.

"Haha..."

Ma Hongjun looked at the image in the sky and laughed.

"I never expected there to be such a handsome man. No wonder he could make the Beauty Ranking!"

"In my heart, Third Brother is the most beautiful!" Xiao Wu immediately said when she noticed Tang San's embarrassment.

"Thank you, Xiao Wu!"

Tang San felt a little better, but he had been slapped in the face too hard. How could Qingyun Academy's teachers be so handsome?

He felt that guy simply was not human...

Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.

"There is actually such a beautiful man in this world!!!"

Bibi Dong gazed at the starry sky. The portrait on the Heavenly Ranking was simply too handsome.

So this was Zhao Yun. He really was exceptionally handsome!

He really looked magnificent!

No wonder he ranked eighth on the Beauty Ranking!

And the rewards were incredibly good as well.

All soul ring age limits increased by 18,000 years. Only divine trials offered rewards like that.

With domain power increased by 200% on top of that, it was simply exhilarating beyond belief.

At the same level, could he directly use his domain to suppress his enemies completely?

Could he be invincible among those of the same rank?

Could he even kill enemies one or two levels above him?

It was terrifying just to think about.

"He really is handsome!"

Hu Liena stared with a lovestruck expression.

She had always cared deeply about appearances and had absolutely no resistance to handsome men.

Otherwise, she would not later have been so captivated by Tang San, whose Blue Silver Grass martial soul awakened into the Blue Silver Emperor, that she became an ungrateful traitor.

"In that case, this Heavenly Ranking is quite fair. It has not favored anyone. The people of Qingyun Academy are simply monsters!"

Bibi Dong found it somewhat astonishing just thinking about it. Another teacher from Qingyun Academy had made the ranking, and the rewards were incredibly good too.

This domain's power had been raised by two times.

"Mm!" Hu Liena nodded.

The other factions were also left dumbfounded by Zhao Yun's handsomeness.

Qingyun Academy.

Zhao Yun had just returned to Qingyun Academy.

He saw that the Heavenly Ranking was revealing his information, leaving him somewhat speechless.

Lu Xia had summoned him here from the Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, Dean Lu Xia had nurtured him, given him Immortal Herbs and Spirit Liquid, and taught him Cultivation Techniques, Daoist Arts, and Spells.

He had made him stronger and better.

Dean Lu Xia had given him all of this.

Naturally, Zhao Yun faced Dean Lu Xia with a heart full of gratitude.

"Wow... Teacher Zhao Yun made the ranking!"

"Wow... Teacher Zhao Yun is so handsome! He actually ranked eighth!"

"I'm so happy for Teacher Zhao Yun!"

Hearing the excited voices of those beautiful young girls, a faint smile appeared on his cold and stern face. In a flash, he arrived on the grass. "Dean, Zilong has returned!"

He cupped his hands in salute, appearing exceptionally respectful and mindful of etiquette.

He held Lu Xia in the highest regard.

"Rise. Perfect timing—you just made the ranking! Congratulations on making the ranking, Zilong!"

Lu Xia took out a homemade party popper and pulled it. "Bang..." Colorful confetti rained down from the sky.

"Wow... so beautiful!"

The beautiful young girls were startled at first, but when they saw the colorful falling petals of confetti, they all began jumping up and down, screaming and cheering.
