The Sky Screen immediately listed the current state of the Star Luo Empire, which was no better than that of the Heaven Dou Empire.
[Star Luo Empire: The nobility is corrupt, the military is rotten, the exterior is strong but the interior is hollow, brothers turn against one another, ethics are abandoned, and it similarly lacks high-level combat power.]
[The Star Luo Imperial Family forces the Duke of Nether to betroth his children from a young age, encouraging them to slaughter one another, all for the sake of the final throne.]
[This cruel struggle forced Prince Dai Mubai to flee Star Luo City and hide in Suotuo City of the Heaven Dou Empire to lie flat, waiting only to be deposed or killed at the age of twenty-five.]
[Cruel struggles forge twisted personalities; every generation of Star Luo Emperors has mental issues. If you don't want to die, stay far away, otherwise you might become a soul under their blade at any moment.]
The Star Luo Emperor stared at the Sky Screen with a face full of rage, his expression dark and terrifying.
The internal struggles of the Star Luo Imperial Family were considered semi-public knowledge within aristocratic circles, but the common people of the Star Luo Empire were certainly unaware of them.
Now that such matters had been made public, it was hard to say whether it would cause a shock to the rule of the Star Luo Imperial Family.
Moreover, the Sky Screen's mention of a rotten military was something he could not accept. The Star Luo Emperor looked down on Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire precisely because he felt the Star Luo Empire's military was far stronger than that of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Star Luo Imperial Family was confident that if not for Martial Soul Hall, the Star Luo Empire could have annexed the Heaven Dou Empire.
However, this was always just their own assumption; in reality, the armies of the two great empires were much the same. Perhaps the Star Luo Empire was truly slightly stronger, but only to a very limited extent.
Following this, the Sky Screen provided a summary.
[The two great empires occupy massive resources yet degenerate in luxury. They are two negative examples. However, given their massive scale, they are ranked as the gatekeepers outside the list. May they strive for self-improvement.]
[Reward: None]
The two great empires of Douluo Continent were listed by the Sky Screen as negative examples and placed as gatekeepers outside the rankings, which put a bit of pressure on the tenth-place entry.
And that big "None" in the reward column felt more like a mockery.
Dehya, Candace, and Nilou were on their way to Star Luo City under the arrangements of Alhaitham.
"Are these two great empires really as unbearable as the Sky Screen says?"
Dehya took out her water skin, took a sip, and handed it to Nilou.
"Thank you!"
"We have already seen it on our journey here, haven't we? Nobles oppressing the commoners and the strong oppressing the weak is a common occurrence."
"After all, this is not Teyvat; there are no Seven Archons here. I even feel the Sky Screen understated it."
Candace also chimed in: "We should just do our own part. If we encounter something, we help. Leave the rest to the Lesser Lord Kusanali; I believe she can change all of this."
"Candace, aren't you a descendant of the Scarlet King? Do you trust the Lesser Lord Kusanali that much?"
"There is no other way, for Lord Scarlet King has long since fallen."
Back in Martial Soul City, Qian Renxue looked at the Sky Screen and asked Qian Daoliu: "Grandfather, which faction do you think can rank tenth?"
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment and replied: "To surpass the two great empires, it must at least be one of the Upper Three Sects, and among the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan should be the weakest."
"Are there really ten factions in Douluo Continent that can rival or even exceed the Upper Three Sects?"
Qian Daoliu shook his head. The only ones he could think of were the Upper Three Sects, Martial Soul Hall, plus Sea God Island and the Akademiya. He had no clue about the rest.
At this moment, the Sky Screen updated, and the tenth place on the Faction Ranking appeared.
[Tenth Place: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan]
Yu Yuanzhen, the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was unconvinced. He believed that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was definitely not stronger than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which was a support-type sect.
Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother, Yu Luomian, was quite happy; being on the list meant there would be rewards.
He just didn't know if the reward would be for the whole sect or for the Sect Master personally. If it were the latter, he wouldn't be able to be happy.
The Sky Screen continued to update, and the basic information of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was listed.
[Inherited Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon]
[High-level combat power: Yu Yuanzhen: Title Thunder, Soul Power Level: 95, Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black]
[Secret Technique: Dragon Transformation]
[Main Sect Members: Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin...]
When Liu Erlong saw that she was listed among the sect members on the Sky Screen, she retorted directly: "I am not a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"Erlong..."
"Xiaogang, weren't you also expelled from the sect? By what right does this Sky Screen still count us as part of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"Erlong, isn't this quite good? There are rewards for being on the list, don't turn your back on benefits."
Flender's words actually persuaded Liu Erlong. Taking benefits was fine, but she certainly wouldn't admit to being a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. As for what others thought, that was none of her business—a classic case of self-deception.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo also began to discuss.
"That old dragon Yu Yuanzhen is truly old; his strength hasn't grown by even a fraction in these years."
"Perhaps the Sky Screen's reward this time can help him reach a higher level. But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is only tenth; are there really that many powerful factions in Douluo Continent?"
Bone Douluo could not answer Sword Douluo's question, so they could only wait slowly for the Sky Screen to reveal more.
Subsequently, the Sky Screen displayed a series of images, showing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's gradual changes from its founding.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's glorious moment was naturally being known as the so-called Upper Three Sects alongside the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Following a dragon's roar, the Sky Screen showed Yu Yuanzhen unleashing his Soul Skill.
Yu Yuanzhen, having released his Martial Soul True Body, was bathed in lightning, exuding an imposing aura.
Then, Yu Yuanzhen unleashed the secret technique Dragon Transformation. Combined with his Martial Soul True Body, Dragon Transformation transformed Yu Yuanzhen into a complete Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, significantly boosting his strength.
Qian Daoliu, watching the Sky Screen, commented on Yu Yuanzhen.
"The Dragon Transformation Secret Technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan indeed has its merits. At the same Soul Power Level, defeating him in his fully transformed state is no easy feat."
The members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan felt honored seeing their Sect Master's powerful display in the Sky Screen.
Yu Xiaogang watched the Sky Screen with envy, his resentment towards his own Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, growing, wishing it were the genuine Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon instead.
After Yu Yuanzhen demonstrated the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, text reappeared on the Sky Screen.
[The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan once had an opportunity to advance further, but unfortunately, they failed to seize it.]
After the text appeared on the Sky Screen, an image of a person was revealed.
This person had appeared in the Sky Screen before, so many recognized him as Yu Xiaogang.
However, the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan looked on in disbelief.
