Martial Soul Hall Third?! Bibi Dong is stunned!

Even the usually composed Ning Rongrong frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with this ranking.

In their hearts, Tang San was invincible.

The Tang Sect was the strongest.

This had already become a blind faith.

On the other side.

Tang San stared fixedly at the glaring "Fourth Place," his knuckles white as he gripped the Sea God Trident.

How could this be?

He had originally thought that with his current strength, he could at least make the top two, or even surpass Martial Soul Hall to reach the summit.

As long as he reached the top, he could leverage the momentum to crush the morale of the Spirit Hall Empire in one fell swoop.

But now... fourth?

This was practically a slap in his face!

I don't believe it.

Tang San whispered in his heart, a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes.

"In this world, besides Martial Soul Hall, who else could be ranked above my Tang Sect?"

"Could there be some reclusive old monsters?"

Just as everyone was feeling indignant.

Above the Sky Curtain, the golden light changed once more.

The rewards had arrived.

[Tang Sect leader Tang San, rewards issued!]

[Bestowed with three God's Gift soul rings! The age depends on the limit of what can be endured!]

[Soul Power Level forcibly raised to level 100, no need for divine inheritance, fleshly body becomes divine!]

[Tang Sect prodigy Xiao Wu, rewards issued!]

[Soul Power Level increased by three levels! Bestowed with one God's Gift soul ring!]

[Tang Sect members: Obtained "Ghost Axe Divine Work" forging technique, hidden weapon sharpness increased by 50%! Armor-piercing effect doubled!]

BOOM--!

This series of rewards crashing down instantly rendered the previously noisy camp silent.

Immediately after.

A pillar of blue light, reaching from the earth to the heavens, erupted violently from Tang San's body.

That was pure divine power!

Although he had not yet inherited a godhood, under the system's forced infusion, his soul power had truly broken through that legendary boundary.

Level 100!

Level 100 becomes a god!

Three golden orbs of light circled around him; those were the God's Gift soul rings.

Tang San could feel the power within his body surging at a terrifying speed.

That feeling was as if he held the entire world in his grasp.

"Level 100..."

Tang San slowly opened his eyes, blue-gold light shooting from them, instantly pulverizing the boulder in front of him into dust.

The previous gloom was swept away.

Replacing it was an unprecedented sense of expansion and ecstasy.

So what if the ranking was low?

These rewards were the real deal!

Now, even without the Sea God godhood, his level 100 Soul Power alone was enough to sweep across the continent!

"Congratulations, Brother San! Congratulations, Brother San!"

Ma Hongjun was the first to react, immediately putting on a sycophantic face and loudly buttering him up:

"Level 100 to become a god! This is truly unprecedented and will never be seen again!"

"To hell with the rankings; with this strength, we can just wipe out the top three, and we will be number one!"

Oscar also hurriedly chimed in:

"Yes, yes, exactly!"

"Brother San is now a true god!"

"What is Bibi Dong? She's not even fit to carry Tang San's shoes!"

Everyone praised Tang San to the heavens, one after another.

Although Tang San maintained his usual humble and indifferent demeanor on the surface, the slight upturn of his lips betrayed his inner pride.

He clenched his fist, feeling the world-destroying power, and his heart was filled with ambition.

"Bibi Dong."

"Qian Renxue."

"You two wait."

"In this battle, I, Tang San, will surely win!"

Jialing Pass, the Spirit Hall Empire's main camp.

Bibi Dong leaned lazily on her throne, swirling a cup of crimson wine.

Looking at the spirited Tang San on the Sky Curtain, a hint of disdain flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Fourth place?"

"Heh."

She chuckled, her laughter full of mockery.

"The higher they jump, the harder they fall."

"Just a piece of trash who only touched the threshold of level 100 by the Sky Curtain's charity."

"And you want to contend with my Spirit Hall?"

Despite her words, a trace of solemnity flickered deep in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Those three God-Bestowed Spirit Rings were indeed troublesome.

If Tang San absorbed them all, coupled with his so-called level 100 Spirit Power, it would pose a considerable threat to the Spirit Hall Empire.

"What a pity."

Bibi Dong downed the wine in her cup, her eyes revealing a murderous intent:

"Even though the reward is good, I can't snatch it away."

The brilliance of the Sky Curtain's Golden Ranking intensified, forcefully suppressing the turbulent spiritual energy that had been agitated by Tang San's ascension to godhood.

Countless eyes were fixed on the sky.

With Tang Sect in fourth place, who could possibly be among the top three?

As everyone held their breath in anticipation, purple-gold light tore through the clouds, and the name representing supreme authority finally revealed its true form.

[Faction Ranking Third Place: Spirit Hall Empire!]

On the battlements of Jialing Pass, the Spirit Hall Empire's defenders, who had been slightly restless due to Tang San's ascension to godhood at level 100, erupted into earth-shattering cheers.

That was their national name!

That was their faith!

The Golden Ranking screen shifted.

The magnificent Pope Palace stood atop the mountains, and the Angel Statue emanated divine radiance.

In the scene, two stunning figures were the most eye-catching.

One wore a dazzling golden dress, her skin as white as snow, with six white wings gently fluttering behind her, radiating an inviolable sanctity. It was Qian Renxue, who had already inherited the position of Angel God.

The other held a scepter, wore the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown, her peerless beauty exuding an air of dominance over the world. She was the current Empress of the Spirit Hall Empire, Bibi Dong.

[Spirit Hall Empire: The orthodox lineage of continental spirit masters, controlling more than half of the world's spirit masters!]

[Faction Leader: Bibi Dong (Level 99 Limit Douluo, inheritor of the Rakshasa God, Twin Martial Souls)!]

[Faction Prodigy: Qian Renxue (Level 100 Angel God, First-Class Deity)!]

[Key Members: The Seven Great Enshrined Elders of the Worship Hall, numerous Titled Douluo from the Elder Hall, the Golden Generation!]

[Overall Strength: Ranked Third on the Faction Ranking!]

Despite the high third-place ranking, Bibi Dong's expression on the battlements of Jialing Pass did not improve much.

She tightly gripped her scepter, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Third?

Merely third?

Her Spirit Hall Empire possessed a true god, a Limit Douluo, dozens of Titled Douluo, and millions of soldiers, yet it could only rank third?

"Is this Golden Ranking toying with This Seat?"

A shadow flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes.

It was understandable that Tang Sect was fourth, as their foundation was still shallow.

Yet, despite the Spirit Hall Empire ruling the continent for so many years, they hadn't even managed to secure first place, or even second for that matter?

Just as dissatisfaction stirred within Bibi Dong, the Sky Curtain trembled, and the rewards for third place poured down like an inverted galaxy.

[Faction Leader Bibi Dong, rewards issued!]

[Exemption from all subsequent Rakshasa God trials! Ascend to godhood directly!]

[Bestowed with three God's Gift spirit rings! Age determined by the limit of what can be withstood!]

[Faction prodigy Qian Renxue, rewards issued!]

[Bestowed with three God's Gift spirit rings! Martial Soul Evolution of the Six-Winged Angel—Twelve-Winged Holy Angel!]

[Spirit Hall Empire subordinates: core members (Title Douluo and above) are bestowed with one ten-thousand-year spirit ring, which may be used to freely replace existing low-age spirit rings!]
