Gu Yuena's Spatial Art, Teleporting to Suotuo City! Tang San's Terror: Even My Purple Demon Eye Can't See Clearly!
"Made the list? What list?"
Guang Ling hopped down from the stone pillar, looking bewildered as he asked curiously.
"The Sky Screen's Top Ten Hidden Experts. Ninth place."
Guang Ling Douluo froze for a moment, then immediately caught on. A brilliant smile spread across his handsome face, tinged with smug delight:
"Ninth place?
Only ninth?
Still... heh heh, I like the sound of 'hidden expert'!
Well, what did I tell you? My Invisible Arrow really is the best in the world!"
His smug, candy-gorged expression was sharply at odds with the Sky Screen's assessment that he was "a threat to any top expert."
Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head helplessly, but his heart sank.
Fifth Worshipper Guang Ling had been exposed. That meant one of Spirit Hall's trump cards had been turned faceup.
By his reckoning,
if Guang Ling ranked ninth,
then the remaining high-ranking experts—including several of the worshippers, himself and his elder brother among them—would all be exposed as well.
It might indeed let Spirit Hall awe the world.
But at the same time, Spirit Hall, which had lain low for decades, would become a target for everyone.
Star Dou Great Forest, Life Lake.
"Rank 97, fifth among Spirit Hall's worshippers.
Ninth among the Top Ten Hidden Experts... It seems Spirit Hall's strength isn't much different from what I remember."
Di Tian's golden dragon eyes remained impassive.
"And the other four worshippers in Spirit Hall must be on this list too, along with the young master ranked first."
"That leaves only three whose exact details are unknown."
Gu Yuena's violet eyes flickered faintly as she looked at Gu Yuan and said softly,
"Dual attributes of light and ice, and he can make his attacks invisible and traceless. This human has some talent in wielding energy."
"Good talent, but unfortunately, he still has a bottleneck. He'll never get past rank 97."
Gu Yuan offered a cool assessment.
"It seems the human world is even livelier than we imagined," Gu Yuena said with a faint smile.
The smile at Gu Yuan's lips deepened.
He took Gu Yuena's hand. Her palm felt warm and smooth against his as he spoke softly:
"Come on, Na'er.
Our first stop is Suotuo City."
"Mm."
"I'd like to see what the city is like. It's your hometown, Xiao Yuan."
Gu Yuena gave a gentle nod, letting him lead her.
Once Gu Yuan had told her that the Divine Realm couldn't interfere with Douluo Planet, Gu Yuena had no more reservations.
She took Gu Yuan with her and used the spatial element to leave the Star Dou Great Forest for Suotuo City.
A flash of silver light—and the next moment, the two of them stood in a secluded grove outside Suotuo City.
Even from a distance, the bustle and warmth of human life swept over them, utterly unlike the quiet, primeval wilderness of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Gu Yuena drew in a deep breath. The air was a jumble of food aromas, dusty scents, and countless mingled human smells. A note of wonder crossed her stunning face.
"So this is... the city where you grew up, Xiao Yuan?"
"Mm."
"Though I don't know it very well myself. For the first few years before I 'awakened' my memories, I was in an orphanage."
Gu Yuan smiled. With a mere thought, their clothes changed into the most common styles on the continent, allowing them to blend perfectly into their surroundings.
Hand in hand, Gu Yuan and Gu Yuena walked toward the bustling city, looking like the "most ordinary" couple.
But their looks and bearing set them far apart from ordinary people. They stood out in the crowd, drawing a three-hundred-percent turn-around rate.
Just as Gu Yuan and Gu Yuena entered the city gate, the enormous golden screen in the sky began to shimmer once more.
The words about Guang Ling Douluo slowly faded, replaced by two more prominent characters:
[Commentary]
Before the voice had even finished, the scene on the Sky Screen abruptly changed. It was no longer a plain display of text; it had become a moving image!
The image showed a boundless field of ice.
The Extreme North.
Guang Ling Douluo, who looked like a young boy, sat idly atop an iceberg, playing with the Guang Ling Ice Bow in his hands.
"If it weren't for that ice lotus, I wouldn't have come all the way to this godforsaken place."
Guang Ling curled his lip, looking thoroughly impatient.
Not far away, a ninety-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon charged toward him.
"Boring."
Guang Ling Douluo muttered. He rose lazily and drew his bowstring.
Then something bizarre happened.
The bowstring drew taut, and the bow hummed, but there was nothing in his hand. He hadn't nocked an arrow!
Whoosh—
A faint sound, almost too soft to hear, cut through the air.
Then, around the Titan Snow Demon's head, the air rippled almost imperceptibly.
The next instant brought no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling burst of light.
Frost began spreading visibly from the Titan Snow Demon's head, freezing it into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.
Then, with a sharp crack, the entire sculpture—and the metal puppet inside—shattered into ice dust and scattered on the wind.
From the moment he drew his bow to the target's destruction, less than a second had passed!
Silent, invisible, traceless!
Every Soul Master beneath the Sky Screen, from ordinary people to Titled Douluos, felt a chill shoot from the soles of their feet straight to their scalps!
How could this be a Soul Skill?
It was a death warrant from the Grim Reaper!
You wouldn't even know where the attack came from before you were dead!
The image didn't end there.
The scene shifted. Guang Ling Douluo seemed to be in a playful mood. He turned into a streak of light across the ice field, moving so fast that only afterimages remained.
The Guang Ling Ice Bow in his hands opened and closed again and again. Each time, there was no arrow, yet one distant iceberg after another was pierced by an invisible force, frozen, and then shattered!
The entire ice field seemed to have become his personal playground.
At last, the image froze on his handsome face, wearing a rebellious grin that belonged to a mischievous child.
The image slowly faded. The Sky Screen once more fell silent, as if awaiting the next list.
But the entire continent could no longer remain calm.
Shrek Academy.
Gulp.
Ma Hongjun swallowed with difficulty, his face deathly pale.
"If... if he did that to us..."
No one dared answer him.
Tang San's pupils contracted to pinpricks. His vaunted Hidden Weapon techniques looked like children's toys in the face of the Invisible Arrow.
Perhaps his Purple Demon Eye could catch a trace of its trajectory, but could his body react in time?
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's normally sharp gaze now held unprecedented solemnity.
"Fengzhi, this man... poses an enormous threat to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong looked equally serious.
"Exactly. Our defenses are formidable, but against this kind of extreme single-point penetration and assassination, there's no way to guard against him.
Especially you, Fengzhi..."
