Spirit City, Spirit Mountain, Angel Sanctuary.
From the Storage Soul Tool she carried with her, Qian Renxue took out an object.
It was a sword: a small white blade that shone with light.
The little sword was about the length of an adult's arm and contained an astonishing amount of energy.
After taking it out, Qian Renxue used her Soul Power to send it before her grandfather, Qian Daoliu. Then she parted her lips and spoke to him.
"Grandpa, this is the opportunity I received from the Golden Ranking in the sky: the inheritance of a First-Level God. That god is the Sword God. I'm destined to become the Angel God, so I don't need the Sword God's inheritance. Rather than waste it, you should take it. With this, you can become a god too."
With that, Qian Renxue turned and left.
Right now, she just wanted to be alone for a while.
Her mother had been persecuted, and the one who had done it was her beloved father?
Qian Renxue had never imagined it. She had never even dared to.
Her entire view of the world had taken a blow unlike any before.
She desperately needed time to recover.
Before long, a dazzling red meteor arrived before Qin Qiong.
After hovering in front of him for a moment, it transformed into two balls right before his eyes.
Both balls were white, each no bigger than an adult's fist.
Qin Qiong reached out and caught one. As he toyed with it, an intrigued smile appeared on his face. "Poké Balls? Interesting. But I don't think I have any use for these. Once I return to Sun Moon Continent, I'll present them to His Majesty. Perhaps he can use them."
Whenever Qin Qiong obtained something good, he usually thought of Xu Que. That was how kind and loyal he was.
He put both Poké Balls into the Storage Soul Tool he carried with him.
Douluo Continent, the core region of the Far North.
"Poké Balls?"
"What a treasure!"
"I want one so badly!"
"If I had one, I could use it to capture Xue'er."
As the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Ice Empress, whose cultivation had surpassed three hundred thousand years, watched Qin Qiong receive his reward on the Golden Light Curtain in the sky, she smiled to herself.
That smile?
Utterly lecherous!
Anyone who didn't know better would have taken the Ice Empress for a pervert.
And the Xue'er she spoke of?
She was the strongest Soul Beast in the Far North.
She was the Heavenly Snow Woman, whose cultivation had already surpassed six hundred thousand years.
After introducing Qin Qiong, who ranked fourth on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, and granting him his opportunity, the Golden Ranking moved on to reveal the next Soul Master.
[Third place on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking.] [Hegemon of Chu Xiang Yu of the Sun Moon Empire!] [Lord Wu'an Bai Qi of the Sun Moon Empire!]
That was right. This time, not one but two Soul Masters had made the ranking!
Spirit City, Spirit Mountain, Worship Hall.
When Demon Subduer, the Seventh Worship of Spirit Hall, learned who had made the ranking through the Golden Light Curtain in the sky, interest flickered across his face. He chuckled to himself.
"At last, a Soul Master on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking who isn't a general of the Sun Moon Empire!"
"I couldn't take it if another of the empire's generals showed up."
"Hegemon of Chu Xiang Yu?"
"Lord Wu'an Bai Qi?"
"Whatever else they might be, those titles alone sound formidable."
"I wonder how much stronger they are than Qin Qiong, who ranked fourth."
Heaven Dou Empire, an abandoned courtyard.
Third place already. With only two places left, the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking is almost over. The next ranking has to be for the strongest teachers! Failing that, a ranking for special Beast Martial Souls would do. I could make either one and receive an opportunity to defy fate. Then I'd have the strength to take revenge!
Yu Xiaogang gazed at the Golden Light Curtain in the sky as these thoughts raced through his mind.
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, the palace hall.
When the commanding voice reached the White Tiger Emperor's ears, he straightened on the imperial throne where he had been lounging.
His eyes locked on the words "Lord Wu'an Bai Qi" on the Golden Light Curtain in the sky. Still staring, he muttered to himself.
"Lord Wu'an?"
"A lord who pacifies the realm through martial might?"
"Then Bai Qi must be terrifyingly strong!"
Slaughter City.
Three people stood at its entrance.
They were none other than Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, who had been besieged by several Titled Douluo at Shrek Academy that day.
Why had Bibi Dong come to Slaughter City instead of returning to Spirit City? Because she was no longer Spirit Hall's Pope.
Worse still, Spirit Hall had put a bounty on her head.
A "Fallen Soul Master" who had killed the former Pope of Spirit Hall and Devoured him down to the last trace was unfit to remain its Pope. Naturally, Spirit Hall, renowned throughout Douluo Continent for its righteousness, had to hunt her down.
As for the position of Pope?
No one held it at present.
But within a day or two, the mighty Spirit Hall, now at the height of its power in the Soul Master World, would surely have a new Pope. After all, a nation could not go a day without a ruler, nor could a host of dragons go a day without a leader.
"Ten places on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking, but eleven people."
"Will the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking have ten places and eleven people too?"
Her beautiful eyes fixed on the Golden Light Curtain in the sky, Bibi Dong spoke, then walked into Slaughter City for the first time in many years.
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan followed close behind.
Together, the three entered Slaughter City, where fugitives were as countless as grains of sand.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the Golden Ranking revealed the Soul Masters who had made the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, then began its introduction.
[Hegemon of Chu Xiang Yu and Lord Wu'an Bai Qi are both male and both hail from the Sun Moon Empire on Sun Moon Continent. As they are more or less evenly matched, they share third place on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking.] [Of the two, Hegemon of Chu Xiang Yu will be introduced first, followed by Lord Wu'an Bai Qi.] [Hegemon of Chu Xiang Yu ranks second on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, above the Twin Martial Soul possessors Lü Bu and Qin Qiong. It goes without saying that he, too, possesses Twin Martial Souls.] [And that is indeed the case.] [Xiang Yu does possess Twin Martial Souls.] [One of his Martial Souls is a Tool Martial Soul; the other is a Body Martial Soul.] [Xiang Yu's Tool Martial Soul is his First Martial Soul and the one he cultivates primarily.] [His Body Martial Soul is his Second Martial Soul, which he cultivates as a supplement.] [Like Qin Qiong's Second Martial Soul, Xiang Yu's First Martial Soul is a spear!]
