Hypocrite Rankings Top Spot Revealed: Ice-Clear Jade-Pure Sea God Tang San Makes His Grand Entrance!

[Douluo Continent Hypocrite Rankings—First Place]

[Tang Sect Outcast · Shrek's Soul · Future Sea God—Tang San]

The entire continent fell silent for three seconds.

Then the comments exploded.

[W-What?!]

[Tang San?! That student from Shrek Academy?! How old is he?!]

[Where's the emperor I bet would destroy a nation?! My fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins!!]

On Shrek Academy's training grounds, Dai Mubai was the first to move.

He backed away three steps, his heel grinding a shallow mark into the mud as his right hand unconsciously reached toward the summoning position of his White Tiger Martial Soul.

Oscar followed right after him, staggering as his lips moved for a long while without producing a single word.

Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong retreated almost at the same time. All six of them widened the distance between themselves and Tang San by dozens of meters...

Tang San stood where he was, the last trace of color draining from his face.

"I..." He opened his mouth, his voice forced out from deep in his throat.

Dai Mubai raised a hand to cut him off. "Don't speak."

His tone was not harsh, but it felt worse than harshness—the instinctive wariness that came from discovering the person beside you was nothing like the person you thought you knew.

Ning Rongrong's fingers twisted around the summoning mark for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, her gaze flickering between Tang San and the Sky Screen.

She said nothing, but edged another half-step closer to Zhu Zhuqing.

On the outskirts of the Killing Capital, inside a cave that had collapsed halfway.

Tang Hao stood barefoot on the rubble, Soul Power surging throughout his body. The aura of a Rank 96 powerhouse sent every bird and beast within a hundred meters fleeing in terror.

The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul burst forth from his body. Purple-gold lightning coiled around its dark hammerhead, blasting a hole straight through the cave roof.

He stared at his son's name on the Sky Screen, veins bulging from his temple all the way down his neck.

[Clear Sky Sect · Tang Hao: Bullshit! My son grew up in Holy Soul Village and has always been kind-hearted! If Heaven's Will dares frame him in the slightest, I'll smash this damned mirror to pieces with one blow!]

The moment the comment appeared, Soul Masters across the continent sucked in a cold breath.

[Holy shit, Tang Hao? That Tang Hao who escaped Spirit Hall unscathed?!]

[He's Tang San's father? No wonder that kid has such nerve!]

[Brother, no matter how fierce your father is, he can't stop Heavenly Dao Judgment...]

Tang Hao's threat received no response. The golden divine throne remained utterly still, while the blood-red words seemed to shine even brighter.

He had to say something. He could not let himself be nailed to the pillar of shame like this.

[Shrek Academy · Tang San: I grew up in Holy Soul Village. At six, I awakened the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and have cultivated diligently ever since. I have never betrayed my sect; I have always treated my teacher with the respect due a disciple; and for my companions, I have never flinched in the face of life and death. I, Tang San, stand upright and sit straight, with Heaven and Earth as my witnesses! Let the Heaven's Path Light Screen provide solid proof, or this is nothing but slander!]

His defense was orderly and forceful.

Quite a few ordinary people were actually persuaded.

[That sounds pretty reasonable... What kind of hypocrite could a teenager possibly be?]

[Exactly. Could this really be a mistake?]

The Sky Screen's response was crueler than any rebuttal.

It did not acknowledge Tang San's defense at all.

Beneath the golden divine throne, new words began to emerge, unhurriedly, one line after another...

[Future Achievement One: Establish the Tang Sect, monopolize Douluo Continent's entire military industry, and use hidden weapons to control the throat of the world.]

[Future Achievement Two: Inherit the Sea God's divine position and become a law enforcer of the God Realm.]

[Future Achievement Three: Lead others in besieging Spirit Hall, destroying its foundations and eradicating its legacy.]

When the final line appeared, the golden light in the sky dimmed for an instant.

[Future Achievement Four: In the name of the Sea God, raise Douluo Star's fortune like livestock and monopolize it for ten thousand years.]

No one spoke.

Even the comments stopped completely for five full seconds.

Ten thousand years. One person monopolizing the fortune of an entire planet for ten thousand years.

This was no longer something "hypocrite" could describe.

[(Xiaogang) I did not disgrace the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I raised a god.]

[Holy fuck... This is a god?!]

[No, he's even scarier than a god. At least gods wouldn't treat an entire planet like a pasture!]

[No wonder he's ranked first. Compared to him, Yu Xiaogang's petty nonsense isn't even worthy of carrying his shoes!]

[So... he's only a teenager now, but he'll become something like this in the future?!]

Heaven Dou Palace, side hall.

"Xue Qinghe" sat upright in a grand chair, the celadon teacup in his hand having been crushed into powder three breaths ago.

Qian Renxue stared at the four lines of "Future Achievements" on the Sky Screen. Only one thought remained in her mind, repeating over and over—destroy Spirit Hall.

This youth, not even a Soul Ancestor yet, would one day personally destroy a foundation built over ten thousand years.

"Interesting."

Spirit Hall, Pope Hall.

Bibi Dong stood in the middle of the hall, looking up at the Sky Screen. Her long purple hair fell down her back, utterly motionless.

The elder beside her waited for a long time before cautiously speaking. "Your Holiness, regarding this matter..."

"Pass down my papal decree."

"From this moment onward, issue the highest-level kill order. Whoever kills Tang San—"

She turned around, her golden papal robes sweeping an arc across the floor.

"Will be directly granted the position of Honorary Pontiff and rewarded with three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones."

The elder's eyelids twitched three times.

An Honorary Pontiff position and three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones—Spirit Hall had never offered such a reward since its founding.

"Your Holiness, he is only a child..."

"He is not a child." Bibi Dong's tone did not change. "You saw it too. He is the future Sea God. If we do not kill him now, should we wait until he becomes a god before trying?"

No one in the hall dared make another sound.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin withdrew his gaze and tapped the small line before Tang San's name on the Sky Screen.

"Sect Master, pay attention to this—'Future Sea God.'"

Ning Fengzhi's expression was grim as he nodded.

"He bears the inheritance of a divine position." Chen Xin lowered his voice. "The Sea God is one of Douluo Continent's oldest native deities. Someone like that is not within our power to touch."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong unusually did not crack a joke. He clicked his tongue. "So Bibi Dong issued a kill order because she wants to strike before he becomes a god?"

"She is not stupid." Chen Xin gave his assessment in three words.

Ning Fengzhi closed his eyes, one hand braced against the railing. He did not exert much force, yet a crack spread across the stone surface beneath his fingers.

He was thinking about Ning Rongrong.

His daughter was at Shrek Academy right now, right beside Tang San.

--

The comment section had already turned into a boiling pot of oil.

[I don't understand! Why should a student from some academy rank above everyone else?!]

[Are you blind? He'll be a god in the future! A god who pens up an entire planet like a pasture for ten thousand years!]

[But he's just a little brat right now! Is this ranking based on the present or the future?!]

[Revive the Tang Sect... What sect is the Tang Sect? Is there such a sect on Douluo Continent?]

[No! I searched through every sect record, and there's no sect called the Tang Sect at all!]

[Then what the hell is he reviving? Unless... this Tang Sect does not belong to Douluo Continent?]

The golden divine throne in the sky let out a deep hum, and the image changed drastically once more.

Towering mountains and rolling ridges, wreathed in mist...

A landscape of mountains and rivers that clearly did not belong to Douluo Continent unfolded across the Sky Screen.

Halfway up the mountain stood ancient pavilions with upturned eaves, built along the slope. Blue tiles, gray walls, winding stone steps, and a plaque hanging over the entrance.

Two bold, ancient characters were written upon the plaque—

"Tang Sect."
