Combat Power Ranking

The Genius Ranking, consisting entirely of Brother Cao's harem, left many geniuses across the continent feeling devastated and questioning their own lives.

However, their gazes remained fixed upon the firmament.

For the Sky Screen had just released a new list.

[Second Ranking: Combat Power Ranking.]

[Based solely on true combat strength; talent, age, and rank are not considered.]

[Those already on the Genius Ranking are excluded.]

[The top fifteen will receive generous rewards.]

As the Sky Screen announced the second ranking, the people of the continent grew excited once again.

"The Combat Power Ranking! Hahaha! The Combat Power Ranking!"

"This is fair! This is what you call real ability! Talent or no talent, who talks about talent on the battlefield?"

"No consideration for talent, age, or cultivation?"

A veteran Spirit Douluo with graying hair looked up and laughed heartily.

"I have cultivated bitterly my entire life, yet I couldn't compare to those little girls backed by Brother Cao. Now, it's time to speak with real ability. I want to see who still dares to say I'm inferior to those girls in their early twenties!"

"Those already on the Genius Ranking are excluded!" Countless powerhouses' eyes lit up. "Does this mean everyone has a chance? That's wonderful!"

Those veteran powerhouses who had been battered and bruised by the Genius Ranking now felt as if they had been injected with adrenaline, the light of hope reigniting in their eyes.

The Genius Ranking was the world of the young, a showcase for Brother Cao's harem.

But the Combat Power Ranking was their battlefield!

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Yu Yuanzhen stood up abruptly, a sharp light erupting from his eyes, thunder faintly rumbling around his body.

"The opportunity has arrived."

"With my level ninety-five Super Douluo cultivation and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the continent's number one beast spirit, my name will surely be in the top five of the Combat Power Ranking!"

Yu Luomian quickly chimed in, "Big Brother is right! Excluding those girls of Brother Cao, how many are actually stronger than you? Tang Chen is dead... Big Brother's top five spot is secure!"

The rest of the clansmen nodded one after another, their faces glowing with confidence.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the continent's number one beast spirit, would surely shock the world!

Clear Sky Sect.

The atmosphere was far less enthusiastic than in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

The elders sat together, each of them wearing a gloomy expression.

Tang Chen's death hung over everyone's hearts like a massive boulder.

"The former sect master... was killed by that Brother Cao with a single slap..." The Second Elder's voice trembled. "The Third Elder was slapped to death, and the First Elder was severely wounded by Bai Chenxiang... Since the Sky Screen descended, our Clear Sky Sect has suffered heavy losses..."

The First Elder's face was livid. His wounds had not yet fully healed, and at the mention of Bai Chenxiang, his chest began to ache again.

"But what can we do?" The Second Elder smiled bitterly. "Revenge? With what? That Brother Cao killed ten divine officials in one strike; we can't even block a single finger of his."

The great hall fell into a deathly silence.

After a long while, Tang Xiao spoke slowly, "Let us not speak of revenge for now. The Combat Power Ranking is here."

He looked up at the Sky Screen. "I am level ninety-seven, the First Elder is level ninety-four, and several other elders are also above level ninety. The Genius Ranking did not have the Clear Sky Sect's name, but the Combat Power Ranking..."

"Our Clear Sky Sect will surely rank among the best!"

Once these words were spoken, the oppressive atmosphere finally eased slightly.

The elders nodded one after another, hope reigniting in their eyes.

Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi stood by the window, looking at the Sky Screen with a faint smile on his face.

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone."

"You two will surely make the Combat Power Ranking."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded slightly, a hint of fighting spirit appearing on his still-sharp face. "This old man's sword has been silent for too long."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong stroked his beard and laughed heartily. "I want to join in the fun too! I want to see how this Sky Screen judges combat power!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile, though he was secretly calculating in his heart.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now possessed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and with Rongrong's connection to Brother Cao, their status on the continent had risen significantly.

If Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone could achieve a high rank on the Combat Power Ranking...

Spirit Hall, Elder Hall.

The long-standing oppressive atmosphere was finally swept away.

The seven elders gathered together, each of them wearing a long-lost sense of confidence and excitement.

The Genius Ranking was all young people, and they were all Brother Cao's harem; they couldn't compete with that.

But the Combat Power Ranking was different!

Golden Crocodile Douluo's injuries had largely healed, and he sat upright, his eyes filled with a determined glow: "The Combat Power Ranking, haha, good! The opportunity has finally arrived! This time, it should finally be Spirit Hall's turn, right?"

Guangling Douluo clapped his hands and laughed: "Big Brother, this Combat Power Ranking is practically tailor-made for our Spirit Hall! The weakest among us seven is level ninety-six; we will surely all make the list!"

Qingluan Douluo nodded in agreement: "The top spot belongs to Big Brother! When the time comes, we will shock the entire continent and let those people see who the true hegemon of the continent is!"

The other elders nodded one after another, and for a moment, the atmosphere inside the Elder Hall became extremely heated.

Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't stop smiling, as if he could already see them dominating the rankings and being revered by thousands.

However, Qian Daoliu slowly shook his head.

"Second Brother, and all you brothers."

"Have you forgotten that Brother Cao? With him around, who would dare claim the number one spot?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's smile froze instantly: "Gah?"

He opened his mouth wide, the expression on his face truly spectacular.

That's right... that Brother Cao...

The Brother Cao who killed ten divine officials in a single blow, the one even Qian Daoliu admitted he couldn't compare to...

If he participated in the Combat Power Ranking, then the top spot...

Golden Crocodile Douluo's face collapsed instantly.

Qian Daoliu watched his expression and found it secretly amusing: "However, Tang Chen is dead, the Clear Sky Sect is severely crippled, and aside from that Brother Cao..."

He paused: "At this moment, it is indeed time for our Spirit Hall to shock the continent."

The elders looked at each other and nodded in unison.

That was true; no matter how strong Brother Cao was, he was only one person.

As for the remaining spots, with the seven elders of Spirit Hall, were they really afraid of not being able to compete with others?

Star Dou Great Forest, Life Lake.

Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back above the lake, his golden dragon pupils staring at the Sky Screen.

"Combat Power Ranking?" he muttered to himself, his voice like a dragon's roar.

"Interesting. I wonder if our soul beast clan is included."

Xiong Jun sat cross-legged to the side and snorted upon hearing this, his small eyes filled with disdain: "Hmph, this Sky Screen clearly favors humans. Cowardly humans are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as us soul beasts."

"These boring rankings are not worth appearing on!"

King of Ten Thousand Demons, Red King, Yao Ling, and the other fierce beasts also looked up one after another. They didn't say it out loud, but they were all thinking the same question.

Could soul beasts make the list?

If they could...

Then the top spot would absolutely belong to the Lord.

The Combat Power Ranking was about to begin.

And this time, it was no longer the world of the young.

It was a battlefield for veteran powerhouses, a collision of top-tier combat strength.

A true battle of kings!
