The Ninth: Sword Dao Chen Xin! Ning Fengzhi: If Only Sword Uncle's Father Could Be Revived

Rumble—!

Just as the entire continent was still steeped in contempt for Tang Hao, the Ranking Screen began to tremble violently once more.

The image that had been frozen inside the stone cave of Holy Soul Village gradually faded, and that cold, majestic voice resounded through heaven and earth again:

[Douluo Continent's Ten Peak Soul Masters, Tenth Place: Haotian Douluo Tang Hao. Review complete.]

[Next, the ninth place shall be announced.]

[He devoted his life solely to the sword, sincere to the sword, loyal to the sword.]

[He possesses the continent's number one offensive Martial Soul. Once the Seven Kill Sword emerges, who can contend against it?]

[Ninth among the Ten Peak Soul Masters: Seven Kill Sword, Sword Douluo Chen Xin!]

[Identity: Guardian Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Rank 96 assault-type Super Douluo.]

[Evaluation: One sword breaks ten thousand laws, its edge unparalleled beneath the heavens!

His attack power reigns supreme across the continent. He is the true god among swords.]

Buzz—!

Above the Ranking Screen, dazzling sword energy crisscrossed through the air.

A crystalline azure sword tore through the clouds, radiating a chillingly sharp aura.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Council Hall.

Ning Fengzhi abruptly rose to his feet, unable to conceal the delight on his elegant face.

"Sword Uncle!

It's you!

You made the list, and you're even ranked above Tang Hao, in ninth place!"

Although Bone Douluo Gu Rong usually enjoyed bickering with Chen Xin, he could not help grinning now. He patted Chen Xin on the shoulder and teased him.

"Well, look at you, old man. You actually took ninth place.

Looks like that shabby sword of yours really is much stronger than Tang Hao, that coward who crippled his own Martial Soul!"

Though he said that, Gu Rong felt somewhat bitter inside.

He was weaker than Chen Xin, and now Chen Xin had ranked ninth while he had yet to appear on the list.

Did that mean the Ranking Screen believed he was not even worthy of the top ten?

Chen Xin's hand tightened slightly around his sword. His gaze remained fixed on the Ranking Screen. Though his expression was calm, a fiery light flashed deep within his eyes.

"Ninth place...

I have immersed myself in the sword for decades. I would like to see just how much of my sword intent this Ranking Screen can reveal!"

Wuhun Hall, Consecration Hall.

Qian Daoliu looked at the enormous phantom of the Seven Kill Sword on the Ranking Screen and commented indifferently.

"Chen Xin inherited his father Chen Xun's sword dao. The Seven Kill Sword's offensive power truly reigns supreme beneath the heavens.

His ninth-place ranking is well deserved.

But that is all."

Having the greatest attack power in the world did not mean Chen Xin possessed the greatest overall strength.

In Qian Daoliu's view,

among the seven consecrators of the Consecration Hall,

aside from Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, every one of them could firmly suppress Chen Xin.

That meant Wuhun Hall would occupy half of the spots on this list of the Ten Peak Soul Masters!

The higher the ranking, the more generous the Ranking Screen's reward should be.

Even tenth place had been rewarded with the ability to revive a dead person.

What about the next five rewards?

Qian Daoliu did not even dare imagine it!

Behind him, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others realized this as well, and their breathing immediately grew heavy.

But...

Qian Daoliu looked toward the Papal Hall and frowned slightly.

*That woman Bibi Dong is connected to the Rakshasa God.

Over these years, her strength has advanced by no small amount.

She should be able to enter the top ten as well...*

Inside the Papal Hall, Bibi Dong watched the scene, a cold curve rising at the corners of her lips.

"Chen Xin... the stabilizing pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As long as this sword is broken, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will no longer be a threat.

Pass down the order. Carefully record every Soul Skill and weakness of Chen Xin revealed by the Ranking Screen!"

Shrek Academy.

The stifling atmosphere eased slightly because of the Ranking Screen's change.

Ning Rongrong excitedly jumped up and pointed at the Ranking Screen as she shouted.

"Xiao San!

Look!

It's my Grandpa Sword!

My Grandpa Sword made the list!"

Tang San also raised his head and looked at the Seven Kill Sword on the Ranking Screen. Some of the gloom in his eyes faded, though a trace of complexity appeared in its place.

"Sword Douluo... ninth place?"

Master Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, watching the Ranking Screen solemnly as he spoke in a low voice.

"Sword Douluo's Soul Power has already reached Rank 96, and his strength is unfathomable.

Now that the Ranking Screen has exposed him, the entire Spirit Master World will likely undergo another violent upheaval."

Sunset Forest, Icefire Yin-Yang Eye.

Jia Lin looked at the Seven Kill Sword on the Ranking Screen, curled her lips slightly, and said somewhat dismissively.

"It seems the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent are only so-so.

Even someone ranked ninth only has Rank 96 Soul Power."

However, Jia Lin changed the subject and turned toward Lan Yu beside her, sighing with feeling.

"But even so, Douluo Continent's current civilization is still far more advanced than that of Star Luo Continent.

Star Luo Continent is still in an extremely backward age of primitive tribes."

Lan Yu merely smiled gently, clasping his hands behind his back as he replied calmly.

"There is no need to find that strange.

Even after another twenty thousand years, Star Luo Continent still will not be able to develop a highly advanced civilization on its own. It will remain in the tribal era."

Jia Lin blinked curiously.

"Not even in twenty thousand years?

Then what happened afterward?"

Lan Yu smiled and teased her.

"Linlin, do you think your old man can see through the future?

How would I know?"

Jia Lin gave a cheeky laugh, (^▽^).

Yet Lan Yu still muttered to himself inwardly.

"Twenty thousand years later, the Star Luo Empire on Douluo Continent will be defeated in a war that sweeps across the continent, forcing the remnants of its imperial family and nobility to flee across the sea.

When they set foot on Star Luo Continent, even as defeated soldiers,

they will effortlessly conquer the entire continent and rebuild the Star Luo Empire there, relying on Soul Guidance technology and the Soul Master system that are twenty thousand years ahead.

That is a dimensional strike of civilization."

But upon further thought, Lan Yu found it perfectly normal.

Douluo Continent was practically the core of Douluo Star.

On Douluo Continent, the Silver Dragon King lingered on in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Water and Fire Dragon Kings perished in Sunset Forest, forming the Icefire Yin-Yang Eye.

Then the Sea God and Angel God successively created their own First-Level Deity Godhoods and ascended to the God Realm.

The Asura God had established Slaughter City on Douluo Continent.

The Rakshasa God was also searching for an inheritor on Douluo Continent.

In terms of "heritage," the other three continents could not compare at all.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Council Hall.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the Ranking Screen, his face filled with anticipation and delight.

"Congratulations, Sword Uncle.

You have taken ninth place. I wonder what miraculous reward the Ranking Screen will grant you shortly?

If it could be like Tang Hao's..."

If the Ranking Screen could revive Chen Xin's father,

the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strength would rise dramatically!

"Old swordsman, you'd better decide in advance."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong chuckled and teased him.

"If it really can revive the dead, are you planning to revive your rigid old father, Chen Xun, or someone else?"

Chen Xin was about to speak, but as he watched the shifting streams of light on the Ranking Screen,

his body suddenly stiffened, and his right hand resting on the hilt of the Seven Kill Sword trembled slightly.
