Sun-Moon Prodigy Ranking, Ninth Place: Xue Li (Part 1)!

[Name of Zhao Yun's obtained opportunity: Flying Dragon Divine General!]

[Introduction to Zhao Yun's obtained opportunity: Flying Dragon Divine General, a Four-Character Full-Set Battle Armor specially forged for Zhao Yun. With it, Zhao Yun, now a level ninety-one Titled Douluo, could contend against a level ninety-nine Titled Douluo! Only a level ninety-nine Titled Douluo possessed the strength to rival Zhao Yun.]

After the imposing voice fell silent, a red meteor shot out from the golden curtain of light in the sky.

This time, the red meteor did not fly toward the Douluo Continent. Instead, it flew toward Sea God Island in the vast ocean.

No, it should no longer be called Sea God Island. It should be called Sun-Moon Island.

After all, it was now territory of the Sun Moon Empire on the Sun Moon Continent.

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Palace.

Standing at the entrance to the palace and gazing at the golden curtain of light in the sky, the Xue Ye Emperor was immensely astonished and shaken after learning of Zhao Yun's strength.

"With the strength of a Seven-Ring Soul Saint, he actually dared to charge alone, with one man, one horse, and one spear, into an army of hundreds of thousands. Isn't Zhao Yun far too brave? And not only did he survive, he even left unscathed."

"Leaving was one thing, but he also killed hundreds of Soul Emperors, dozens of Soul Sages, over a dozen Soul Douluos, and two Titled Douluos with nine soul rings? As though it were nothing more than a casual task."

"How was such a feat any different from a myth? If the Golden Ranking had not said it, even three-year-old children playing by the roadside would not have believed it."

Gulp~

After murmuring to himself, the Xue Ye Emperor swallowed hard.

Then, a look of longing surfaced on his face.

Zhao Yun?

He wanted him!

If the Heaven Dou Empire had a fierce general like Zhao Yun guarding it, it certainly would no longer be suppressed by the Star Luo Empire to the south. And once Zhao Yun, who had become a Nine-Ring Titled Douluo at such a young age, fully matured, he could likely lead an expedition southward against the Star Luo Empire and conquer it.

"If only the Sun Moon Empire's Dragon Might General Zhao Yun were the Heaven Dou Empire's Dragon Might General Zhao Yun! But unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world." As he sighed inwardly, the longing on the Xue Ye Emperor's face was replaced by regret.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qian Renxue was still flying at high speed through the sky on her way back to Spirit City.

After traveling through the night, Qian Renxue was no longer far from Spirit City, the sacred land of the Soul Master world.

In less than half an hour, Qian Renxue would return to Spirit City, which she had not set foot in for many years. She would see her mother Bibi Dong, whom she had not met for years, her grandfather Qian Daoliu, and the uncles and elders of Spirit Hall.

As she flew onward, Qian Renxue listened to the imposing voice from the golden curtain of light in the sky. After hearing Zhao Yun's introduction, she fell into shocked silence.

"Eighteen years old, a Seven-Ring Soul Saint."

"Twenty-three years old, a Nine-Ring Titled Douluo."

"How did Zhao Yun do it?"

"My innate soul power was level twenty, a full ten levels ahead of Zhao Yun's. Yet even if I cultivated with all my strength and complete dedication, I would still be inferior to him. So, could the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking's introduction of Zhao Yun be wrong? He should be a twenty-eight-year-old Seven-Ring Soul Saint and a thirty-three-year-old Nine-Ring Titled Douluo instead, right?"

"If the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking's introduction was not wrong, then its ranking must be wrong! Zhao Yun's talent for Soul Master cultivation was so terrifying. Was he really ranked tenth on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking rather than first?"

As she remained silent, doubt arose in Qian Renxue's heart.

Qian Renxue had only just begun to question the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking when it revealed the next Soul Master on the list.

The imposing voice rang out across both continents.

[Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, ninth place: Xue Li, Divine Archer General of the Sun Moon Empire!]

Sea God Island, soon to be renamed Sun-Moon Island.

Two people stood upon the soft beach.

One was a young man. Though not old, he was tall and powerfully built, dressed in light gray-white armor.

The other was a middle-aged man with a long scar across his right cheek, dressed in simple cloth garments.

As the unnamed young man looked at the golden curtain of light in the sky, he smiled and spoke to the middle-aged man beside him.

"Uncle Yang, Uncle Xue has made it onto the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking. Before long, it should be our turn to appear on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, right?"

As he spoke, obvious anticipation filled the young man's smile.

The middle-aged man surnamed Yang nodded and replied with a smile, "Soon, soon. I wonder whether this old man will rank ahead, or you, brat Yue."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man quickly said, "It will definitely be Uncle Yang ahead of me and this junior behind you. How could I possibly compare to you?"

The young man's surname was Yue.

The middle-aged man's surname was Yang.

Both were Nine-Ring Titled Douluos.

At the same time, both were generals of the Sun Moon Empire.

After the imposing voice reached the Sea Witch's ears, she, who was on her way to Spirit City, once again sank into her memories.

During the battle for Sea God Island, Zhao Yun's opponent had been Sea Dragon Douluo, while Xue Li's opponent had been the hundred-thousand-year Demon Spirit Great White Shark Xiaobai, who was responsible for guarding Sea God Island's safety.

Zhao Yun had defeated Sea Dragon Douluo with three spear strikes.

Xue Li had subdued Demon Spirit Great White Shark Xiaobai with two arrows.

The first arrow pierced the clouds, entered the sea, and shot through Demon Spirit Great White Shark Xiaobai's abdomen.

The second arrow carved out a path through the sea and pierced Demon Spirit Great White Shark Xiaobai's chest.

After being struck by two arrows, Demon Spirit Great White Shark Xiaobai surrendered repeatedly without the slightest hesitation.

If she did not surrender, another arrow would surely kill Demon Spirit Great White Shark Xiaobai. Before Xue Li's precious bow, she could neither block nor evade, and she had not the slightest ability to resist.

After recalling everything, a question surfaced in the Sea Witch's mind.

The visitors from the Sun Moon Empire on the Sun Moon Continent were so powerful. Would Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu become their enemy in order to save High Priest Bo Saixi? If he would, could he successfully rescue her?

Very soon, the Golden Ranking began its introduction of Xue Li, who had entered the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking this time.

[Xue Li, male, courtesy name Rengui, also known as Xue Rengui.]

[Like Zhao Yun, who previously entered the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, Xue Li was from the Sun Moon Empire on the Sun Moon Continent, and he was likewise a general of the Sun Moon Empire.]

[Zhao Yun's title was Dragon Might General?]

[Xue Li's title was Divine Archer General.]

[Like Zhao Yun's martial soul, Xue Li's martial soul was a weapon martial soul.]

[Unlike Zhao Yun's spear-type weapon martial soul, Xue Li's weapon martial soul was a bow-type weapon martial soul.]

[Xue Li's weapon martial soul?]

[It was called the Heaven-Shaking Bow!]

[It was precisely by relying on the Heaven-Shaking Bow martial soul that Xue Li earned the title of Divine Archer General.]
