The Artifact Soul Ranking's Ninth Place, Star Staff, Xu Xiaoyan! Seeking Recommendation and Monthly Tickets!

Qian Renxue slaughtered three dragons in a single day.

Lu Chen obtained two Divine Artifacts in a single day!

Without hesitation, after obtaining the Divine Artifact Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Lu Chen claimed it for himself.

As the Light Screen continued to shift, a commanding voice that carried without anger continued to echo across the continent.

Ninth on the Strongest Artifact Soul Ranking: Star Staff!!!

Heaven Dou Empire, Clear Sky Sect, which had withdrawn into the mountains and forests and no longer concerned itself with worldly affairs.

"The ninth to make the ranking still isn't our Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer. Then... then our Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer should be ranked tenth, right?"

As Clear Sky Sect Seventh Elder Tang Lieyang stared at the dazzling Light Screen in the sky, he silently thought to himself, cold sweat the size of mung beans continuously beading across his forehead from nervousness.

At first, Clear Sky Sect Seventh Elder Tang Lieyang had been extremely confident that his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul would make the ranking. But now, just like Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had previously been so certain of himself, his heart had risen to his throat.

No way, no way—the Clear Sky Hammer couldn't really fail to make the ranking, could it?

That absolutely must not happen!

He still wanted an opportunity!

The Light Screen then began introducing the Star Staff.

Star Staff, a control-type Artifact Martial Soul, evolved from the Star Wheel Ice Staff.

Like martial souls such as the Sky Piercing Spear and Netherworld King Sword, the Star Staff first appeared twenty thousand years in the future. Its most outstanding wielder was named Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan was born into the Xu Family of Eastsea City.

Xu Xiaoyan's original Martial Soul was the Star Wheel Ice Staff, which evolved into the Star Staff through a fortunate coincidence.

The Star Staff Martial Soul possessed no particularly powerful offensive strength, but it was exceptionally powerful in control!

First Spirit Ability: forcibly immobilized one person, leaving them unable to move!

Second Spirit Ability: forcibly altered the direction of the opponent's attack, or directly interrupted it!

Third Spirit Ability: forcibly rendered a group of people unable to move!

Fourth Spirit Ability: linked with an allied teammate and shared the enemy's attacks with them!

Fifth Spirit Ability: forcibly placed the opponent in a vacuum state and directly teleported them away!

Sixth Spirit Ability: created a Light Screen capable of blocking any type of enemy attack!

Ninth Spirit Ability: Starlight Falls descended like a raging storm, and anyone struck would lose a massive amount of Soul Power!

As for its formidable strength, Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue—a Level 99 Titled Douluo who possessed a full set of Four-word Battle Armor—once evaluated Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul as the strongest control under the stars! Before Xu Xiaoyan, all control-type Soul Masters were ants facing an elephant!

The ants were all control-type Soul Masters.

The elephant was Starry Sky Douluo Xu Xiaoyan!

Xu Xiaoyan was a student of Shrek Academy and also one of the Shrek Seven Devils. During the Abyss War, she joined Tang Wulin, Gu Yuena, Sima Jinchi, Xie Xie, and the others in defeating the Demon Empress!

After defeating the Demon Empress, Xu Xiaoyan cultivated diligently and became a Level 99 Titled Douluo. While being a Level 99 Titled Douluo, Xu Xiaoyan was also the continent's number one control-type Titled Douluo!

Xu Xiaoyan had a husband named Yue Zhengyu.

At this point in the introduction, the clearly visible words ceased to appear, replaced instead by a figure.

That figure wore two upright braids and appeared to be just over 1.6 meters tall. Her pale blue hair framed a pair of beautiful sapphire-like eyes. In her hand, she tightly gripped an ice staff much taller than herself.

Before everyone's eyes, under countless gazes, one Spirit Ring after another, each flowing with light, rose from beneath her feet.

First Spirit Ring, black, Ten Thousand Year!

Second Spirit Ring, black, Ten Thousand Year!

Third Spirit Ring, black, Ten Thousand Year!

Eighth Spirit Ring, Orange-Gold!

Ninth Spirit Ring, Orange-Gold!

She was Xu Xiaoyan, and her Spirit Ring Configuration was seven black and two Orange-Gold!

The moment Xu Xiaoyan's Spirit Ring Configuration was revealed, everyone—from the three invincibles among the Level 99 Ultimate Douluos to six-year-old children who had only just awakened their Martial Souls—was utterly stunned.

Bibi Dong and the other two, who were currently heading toward the Extreme North, halted in their tracks.

The three of them all fixed their gazes upon Xu Xiaoyan's Spirit Rings.

"Aren't Spirit Rings only white, yellow, purple, black, and red? How... how does she have Orange-Gold Spirit Rings?"

"White Spirit Rings are Ten Year Spirit Rings, yellow Spirit Rings are Hundred Year Spirit Rings, purple Spirit Rings are Thousand Year Spirit Rings, black Spirit Rings are Ten Thousand Year Spirit Rings, and red Spirit Rings are Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings. Then what age are Orange-Gold Spirit Rings?"

Ju Douluo Yue Guan, his face filled with astonishment and bewilderment, spoke up, firing off two questions that left him completely at a loss.

After speaking, Ju Douluo Yue Guan fixed his confused gaze on Ghost Douluo Gui Mei beside him.

Seeing Ju Douluo Yue Guan's gaze, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei repeatedly shook his head, indicating that he did not know either.

Then, the two of them turned their gazes toward Bibi Dong.

"Don't look at me. I don't know either," Bibi Dong replied without hesitation.

"High Priest, have you ever seen Orange-Gold Spirit Rings?" Sea Woman Douluo Sea Witch asked Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi as she looked at the two Orange-Gold Spirit Rings surrounding Xu Xiaoyan.

"Never even heard of them." Parting her jade-like lips, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi answered without the slightest hesitation.

Although no one on the continent knew what Orange-Gold Spirit Rings were, they understood that Orange-Gold Spirit Rings were undoubtedly above Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!

The reason was simple!

Rarity made things precious!

Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings were rare, but they had seen them before. Orange-Gold Spirit Rings, however, were something they were seeing for the first time!

Soon, Xu Xiaoyan's figure vanished from the Light Screen.

Then, a line of clearly visible words appeared on the Light Screen, accompanied by a voice that carried natural authority without anger.

Next, the first place on the Strongest Human Monologue Ranking and the tenth place on the Strongest Artifact Soul Ranking will be revealed in succession!

After both have been revealed, the Strongest Beast Soul Ranking and the Strongest Spirit Beast Ranking will be revealed in rotation!

Upon hearing this, all living beings across the continent grew serious.

"Clear Sky Hammer! Clear Sky Hammer! Clear Sky Hammer!"

The Clear Sky Sect Seventh Elder Tang Lieyang crazily repeated those three words in his heart. Right now, all he wanted was to see the words "Clear Sky Hammer" on the Strongest Artifact Soul Ranking.

"Who will be first on the Strongest Human Monologue Ranking?"

This thought surfaced simultaneously in the minds of the mother and daughter, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. Ranked third, both of them were quite curious about the answer.

"There really is a Strongest Spirit Beast Ranking?! Then I, Xiong Jun, will definitely have a place on it!!!" Xiong Jun's face broke into an excited, exhilarated smile.

"Unless something unexpected happens, I should be competing for first place, with second as the minimum." Based on his own strength, Di Tian made a simple guess regarding his ranking.

Soon, the Light Screen changed.
