The Sky Curtain System? The Order Is Reversed, and the Tenth on the List Is Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!
[Heavenly Dao Inventory System binding...]
[Binding successful!]
[Host: Gu Yuan]
[Authorization confirmed: sole host, partial control authorization]
A torrent of information poured into Gu Yuan's mind like divine enlightenment.
Gu Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
"I... I'm actually the host of this Sky Curtain System?!"
A storm surged through Gu Yuan's heart.
He had thought he was just an unlucky guy who'd been exposed by accident.
He'd never imagined that he was the source of this whole storm!
Gu Yuan quickly absorbed the new information in his mind, his expression turning strange.
He was indeed the host, but this "Heavenly Dao Inventory System" seemed to possess a great deal of autonomy.
The Sky Curtain's inventory was automatically generated based on an assessment of the combined strength of all living beings on Douluo Planet.
He couldn't alter the candidates or their evaluations.
"Wait..."
Gu Yuan suddenly noticed a blind spot.
Gu Yuena's strength was undoubtedly the ceiling of this planet.
Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the other Ferocious Beasts were also far stronger than ordinary human Titled Douluo.
But their names didn't appear on the complete inventory list in Gu Yuan's mind.
"Is this inventory... limited to powerful humans?"
Gu Yuan reached that conclusion at once.
He breathed a sigh of relief. At least Gu Yuena and the trump cards of the Star Dou Great Forest wouldn't be completely exposed.
But then a new problem arose.
Although he couldn't change the list or stop the Sky Curtain from continuing its inventory, as the "sole host," he did have one crucial authorization—he could adjust the order!
The original order had placed him first because his "Golden Dragon King" identity had led the system to judge him the strongest.
A royal bombshell right from the start.
"No!
Absolutely not!"
Gu Yuan immediately rejected the idea.
The tallest tree catches the most wind!
A twelve-year-old Soul Emperor living with the Silver Dragon King had already drawn enough attention from across the continent.
If he also had the title of "Top Hidden Powerhouse," he'd never know another peaceful day.
He only wanted to quietly cultivate until he reached godhood, not deal with probing and trouble from every direction day after day.
"If I can't erase myself from the list, then I can only... put myself last!"
A glint flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes. He made his decision at once.
With a thought, he used the sole authorization he possessed as the host.
[Host authorization activated: Inventory order reversed, beginning with the tenth-ranked candidate.]
[Command confirmed. Inventory order adjusted.]
Across Douluo Continent, countless Soul Masters, from commoners to Titled Douluo, were still reeling from the huge shock of a "twelve-year-old Soul Emperor."
They stared fixedly at the sky, hoping to learn more about this "Gu Yuan."
But under everyone's gaze, the shocking golden words [TOP1: Gu Yuan] on the Sky Curtain began to fade, as if they were about to disappear.
"What's happening?!"
"Is the Sky Curtain going to vanish?"
"They haven't finished revealing the information!"
Countless people cried out in astonishment.
In Spirit City, Bibi Dong had just finished issuing her orders. She was still watching the sky with a furrowed brow, and her heart tightened at the sight.
Just as everyone thought the inventory was about to end, an even grander golden light bloomed across the Sky Curtain.
A brand-new line of text replaced the previous one, appearing clearly in the minds of every living being.
[Inventory order adjusted. The rankings will be revealed starting with the tenth.]
The appearance of these words plunged all of Douluo Continent into a brief silence, before sparking an even greater uproar.
"The order can be adjusted? They can do that?"
"This Heavenly Dao sure knows how to keep us in suspense!"
"Great!
I want to see who else is hiding on the continent besides that monster named Gu Yuan!"
Far from waning, people's interest soared to its peak after this sudden twist.
Under everyone's watchful gaze, the words on the Sky Curtain shifted once more.
The information for first place vanished entirely, replaced by a fresh line of golden text, brimming with suspense.
[Sky Curtain Inventory: Top Ten Hidden Powerhouses of Douluo Continent!]
The words lingered on the Sky Curtain for a moment, the golden light flowing as if gathering strength.
Across the continent, from street peddlers to nobles, and even those powerful figures who lived in seclusion—
everyone held their breath, waiting for the first name to be revealed.
At last, amid the attention of the crowd, the golden light gathered, and a new line of text slowly appeared.
[TOP10: Clear Sky Douluo—Tang Hao]
When the name "Tang Hao" appeared, most of the younger generation of Soul Masters across the continent were at a loss.
But to the older generation of powerhouses, especially those from Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects, the name exploded in their hearts like a bolt of thunder!
"Tang Hao! It's him!"
"Hadn't he been missing for over ten years?
He's still alive!"
"Clear Sky Douluo... the man who once gravely wounded three Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall by himself and forced the Pope to abdicate!"
Shouts of astonishment rang out across the continent.
Shrek Academy.
The group, who had been about to start fighting, froze in place.
"I've had enough. They should just reveal the whole list at once, so I can get this assessment over with sooner!"
Zhao Wuji withdrew his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, waving his hand as he grumbled.
"Little monsters, take a break. Let's see how long this Sky Curtain takes to finish its inventory."
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
Tang San and Xiao Wu sat on a bluestone beneath a great tree.
Xiao Wu noticed that Tang San looked troubled and asked curiously,
"Third Brother, what's wrong?"
Tang San stared at the glaring words "Tang Hao," his mind in turmoil.
Well, it's just a similar name.
How could Dad possibly be some hidden powerhouse?
"It's nothing, Xiao Wu. I just thought of someone."
Tang San regained his composure and smiled at Xiao Wu.
On the Sky Curtain, information about Tang Hao began appearing one detail at a time.
[Identity: Direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, current Clear Sky Douluo]
[Soul Power: Level 95, Power Attack System tool-type Martial Soul, Super Douluo]
[Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red (100,000 years)]
[Soul Bones: A complete set of six Soul Bones]
[Special Techniques: Great Sumeru Hammer (Ring Detonation), Nine Absolute Arts of Clear Sky, Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer...]
[Overall Assessment: Record holder for the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent (Bibi Dong was actually the youngest).
Though his Soul Power had stagnated due to old injuries, the profound teachings of the Clear Sky Sect's supreme inheritance, the "Great Sumeru Hammer," gave him the terrifying strength to challenge even Level 97 or Level 98 Titled Douluo.]
"Gasp—"
