The Top Ranker of the Hypocrite Rankings Is About to Be Revealed, and the Entire Continent Holds Its Breath for the Ultimate Scoop!

The Hypocrite Rankings were finally about to reveal the most anticipated number one!

The image of Yu Xiaogang collapsing faded away, but it did not reappear. In its place, the entire Sky Screen underwent a dramatic transformation.

The previously mirror-smooth Light Screen began to twist and reshape, finally turning into a pure golden divine throne!

The divine throne stood majestic and lofty, suspended high above the heavens as though it had existed since time immemorial. Countless chains formed from condensed light extended in every direction from the throne, weaving an invisible net across the sky and shrouding the entire Douluo Continent.

Mysterious runes of past, present, and future flowed along those chains. The aura they radiated made even all the Titled Douluo feel their hearts tremble.

[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect · Ning Fengzhi: This... what kind of person could possibly trigger such a heavenly phenomenon?]

Standing atop a tall tower of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi found fine sweat seeping from his palms.

Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin wore an unprecedentedly solemn expression, his sharp sword intent retracted to its utmost limit.

[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect · Sword Douluo Chen Xin: This aura is grander and older than even when Qian Daoliu unleashes the Angel God's power in Spirit Hall.]

Bone Douluo Gu Rong gave a strange chuckle, but his laughter no longer carried its usual carefree ease.

[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect · Bone Douluo Gu Rong: Could it be one of those old monsters from the legends of the two great empires, who have lived for centuries? The ones who have always hidden behind the scenes and manipulated imperial power?]

Ning Fengzhi slowly shook his head, his gaze piercing through the clouds as he stared fixedly at the divine throne.

His words plunged both the Sword and Bone Douluo into silence.

Number one on the Hypocrite Rankings.

What kind of hypocrite could bear such a terrifying "status"?

Just as the experts across the continent were unsettled by this phenomenon, a single comment instantly drew everyone's attention.

The owner of that comment was Tang San, whose teacher had only just suffered complete disgrace.

[Shrek Academy · Tang San: Heaven's Will is unjust, using power to oppress others! My teacher devoted his entire life to researching martial soul theory. Even if he had flaws, his merits far outweighed his faults! I, Tang San, swear here that once a teacher, always a father! One day, I will stand at the summit and use my strength to prove to the entire continent that the path my teacher and I walk is the true righteous path!]

His words rang with conviction, brimming with a young man's passion and resolve.

At a time when Yu Xiaogang was reviled by the entire world, his direct disciple still dared to step forward and speak for him!

For a moment, quite a few people were somewhat moved by this "deep bond between master and disciple."

However, that sentiment was quickly interrupted by another sinister comment.

[Poison Douluo · Dugu Bo: Heh, little monster, don't talk too big. Since this Heaven's Path Light Screen descended, has it ever spoken a single false word? I've lived for so many years. If there's one thing I've learned, it's to respect the unknown. Be careful the wind doesn't snap your tongue.]

Dugu Bo sat in his residence outside Heaven Dou City, a cold smile hanging from his lips as he looked at Tang San's "righteous" comment on the Light Screen.

This brat was still too green.

What did he think this was? Children playing house?

This was Heavenly Dao Judgment!

The public's response was even more direct.

After a brief moment of shock, a massive gambling frenzy swept across both the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire, raging wildly through the comment section!

[Heaven Dou Merchant Zhao Baiwan: I'm opening the bets! I'll wager ten thousand Gold Soul Coins that number one is definitely some ambitious emperor who launched a war of annihilation!]

[Star Luo Gambling God Ma Laoliu: I'm in! I'll stake fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins! It has to be the ancestor of some evil soul master who slaughtered millions! A hypocrite must look dignified and righteous on the surface!]

[Passerby A: Your vision is too narrow! I think it's some hypocritical inheritor of a god! Otherwise, why would there be such an enormous spectacle?!]

Countless sums of money rolled through the flood of comments as people vented their curiosity and excitement in the most primitive way possible.

In their eyes, anyone capable of reaching number one on the Hypocrite Rankings had to be a historic tyrant whose crimes reached the heavens and whose name would stink for eternity.

No one could have imagined that this ultimate scoop would land on all their faces in the most unbelievable way possible.

After absorbing enough attention, the golden divine throne in the heavens finally underwent another change.

The space before the throne began to distort. Lines of glowing labels slowly emerged, every word carrying an unquestionable air of judgment.

The first label: [Ice-Clear Jade-Pure]

[???]

[Am I seeing this right? Ice-Clear Jade-Pure? Is that supposed to describe a hypocrite?]

[Did the Heaven's Path Light Screen make a mistake? That label is in the wrong place, isn't it?!]

The comments were instantly drowned beneath countless question marks.

At Shrek Academy, Tang San's heart inexplicably skipped a beat when he saw that label.

He knew that phrase all too well. He had used it countless times to describe the person he treasured most in his heart.

A thread of unease quietly took root.

The second label: [Path to Death]

If the first label had brought confusion, then the appearance of the second plunged the entire continent into an eerie silence.

Those words were too domineering, too arrogant.

And the instant Tang San saw those four words, every hair on his body stood on end!

W-Weren't those his favorite words to say whenever he faced an enemy?!

From the gatekeeper of Nording City to Zhao Wuji in Suotuo City... he had used those four words more than once to pronounce his opponents' "death sentences."

A coincidence. It had to be a coincidence!

He frantically told himself this as his Purple Demon Eye activated uncontrollably, trying to see through the true nature of the Light Screen.

The third label: [Hidden Weapon Justice]

[Hidden weapons? Could it be someone from the Speed Clan? No, that doesn't make sense. They aren't hypocrites, are they?]

[I get it! This person must be a soul master who likes using shameful hidden weapons to hurt people, then claims he did it for justice! What a hypocrite!]

The public began to let their imaginations run wild.

But Tang San's face had already started turning pale.

Hidden weapons... that was his greatest secret, the glory of the Tang Sect that he had brought from another world!

Why... why did the Heaven's Path Light Screen know?!

The fourth label: [Peerless Filial Son]

[Filial son? That can be a black mark too?]

[The person above, are you stupid? This is the Hypocrite Rankings! Could the filial son here be genuinely filial? He probably wants his parents' inheritance, or is some beast stepping on his parents to rise to the top!]

The malicious speculation in the comments pierced straight into the heart.

Tang San's body began to tremble faintly.

Being filial to his father and resurrecting his mother were among the greatest obsessions of his life! He believed he had been beyond reproach in that regard!

What right did the Heaven's Path Light Screen have to define him with those words?

Unless... it even knew that his mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and that his father had severed one arm and one leg for him?!

Fear—unprecedented fear—clutched at his soul.

The fifth label: [Revive the Tang Sect]

When that final label appeared, the entire world lost its sound in Tang San's eyes.

It was over.

Everything was over.

The Tang Sect!

It was the greatest obsession and the root of his life after crossing over! It was the core secret of his identity!

Other than himself, no second person could possibly know that secret!

Yet the Heaven's Path Light Screen... even knew that!

"No..."

A dry roar escaped Tang San's throat. He frantically circulated his Purple Demon Eye, trying to sever the spiritual connection between himself and the Light Screen with his mental power. He did not want to watch anymore. He did not want to hear anymore!

Yet the moment his mental power touched that invisible web.

Boom—!

A terrifying pressure, as vast as the descent of a god, crashed down from the golden divine throne!

That pressure ignored physical distance and differences in cultivation, directly bearing down upon the depths of every living being's soul across the continent!

Whether they were Titled Douluo standing high above all others or ordinary farmers working in the fields, everyone felt as if an invisible hand had seized their souls. Their gazes were nailed firmly to the heavens, unable to shift even an inch!

Heaven's Will could not be defied!

Amid that extreme pressure, a gentle golden light suddenly poured down from the divine throne, bathing every person.

[Announcement: The popularity of the Hypocrite Rankings has exceeded the critical threshold. All viewers are rewarded with the Junior Mental Clarity Aura. Logical thinking ability increased by twenty percent.]

As the golden light entered their bodies, everyone felt their minds clear, as though layer upon layer of fog had been swept away. Their thoughts became clearer and sharper than ever before.

Many details that had previously been overlooked instantly connected in that moment!

[Wait! I remember now! That kid Tang San from Shrek used all sorts of strange hidden weapons when he fought the Imperial Fighting Team!]

[Path to Death... back at the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo, he seemed to have said something similar to that soul master named Kuang Zhan!]

[And Ice-Clear Jade-Pure... that girl named Xiao Wu beside him, he protected her like the apple of his eye! He kept saying, "My little sister is Ice-Clear Jade-Pure," every day!]

[Revive the Tang Sect... Tang... Tang San?!]

With the twenty percent boost to their logic, countless people suddenly saw the light and connected every clue to that seemingly ordinary young man!

How was that possible?!

What right did a teenager barely in his teens have to surpass Yu Xiaogang and become number one on the Hypocrite Rankings?!

At Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others abruptly turned to look at Tang San, whose face was as white as paper. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

And at that moment, the final suspense in the heavens was about to be revealed.
