TOP 8: Bo Saixi

Qian Daoliu instinctively released his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and the nine soul rings around him began to change.

Black, black, black.

Black, black, black.

Red, red, red.

Six black and three red soul rings revolved around Qian Daoliu.

"Ah! In the end, I still failed to step into the Demigod realm!"

When the pillar of light faded, Qian Daoliu had not broken through. He remained a Level 99 Peerless Douluo.

If he had gained any benefits at all, it was merely a twenty percent increase in combat power, along with a longer duration for maintaining his Demigod state through Angel God Power.

Golden Crocodile and the others were utterly speechless at Qian Daoliu's humblebragging.

They were still Peak Douluos and had not even touched the threshold of becoming Peerless Douluos, yet this guy was already thinking about breaking through to Demigod. Did he have to be this competitive?

"Grand Enshrinement, congratulations on advancing your strength once more!"

Though they complained inwardly, Golden Crocodile and the others still felt honored by Qian Daoliu's increasing power.

For one thing, the stronger Qian Daoliu became, the less Bibi Dong dared to act rashly.

So what if Bibi Dong was invincible below God-Level? An elder would always be an elder. Wasn't she still being thoroughly suppressed by Qian Daoliu?

Qian Daoliu looked at the Sky Screen with a frown. "This Sky Screen is truly unfathomable. Its methods surpass even those of the Angel God."

His strength had long been stuck at Level 99. To break through to Demigod, he would need the faith of the Angel God.

Yet the Sky Screen had ignored the Angel God's shackles, directly increased the age of his soul rings, and even let him see hope of breaking through to Demigod.

As for why he did not use Angel God Power as a shortcut? Wasn't it all to pave the way for Qian Renxue?

After all, anyone who understood faith knew that every bit used was one bit less. If breaking through to Demigod prevented Qian Renxue from becoming the Angel God, Qian Daoliu would cry himself to death.

Hearing that the Sky Screen stood above the Angel God, Golden Crocodile and the others looked heartbroken, as though they were in too much pain to breathe.

This Sky Screen was undeniably a divine miracle!

If they could make the rankings, then forget entering the Divine Realm—breaking through to become Level 99 Peerless Douluos would not be a problem.

Ignoring Golden Crocodile and the others' envy, Qian Daoliu looked at the Sky Screen. "Who will be the next person to make the rankings?"

"Will it be Saixi?"

"Or Tang Chen?"

Thinking of his two old friends, Qian Daoliu felt deeply conflicted.

Bo Saixi was the woman he loved but could never have.

Tang Chen, meanwhile, was an old friend who was both rival and companion.

If Tang Chen had not died, then upon learning that the Clear Sky Sect had been beaten into seclusion by Spirit Hall, his domineering and fiery nature would surely have brought him to Spirit City. By then, either Tang Chen would fall, or Spirit Hall would be destroyed.

At the same time, the scene shifted.

In a hidden corner of Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City.

Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted heavily.

He stared fixedly at the Sky Screen. "Grandfather..."

With the exposure of the three Peerless Douluos, Tang Hao had finally obtained information about Tang Chen.

Tang Chen, invincible on land, was not only his grandfather, but also the pillar supporting the entire Clear Sky Sect.

As long as he found his ancestor Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect could not only emerge from seclusion, but also restore its former glory and reclaim the honor of being the number one sect in the world.

Perhaps he could even bring Xiao San back to the Clear Sky Sect.

As for that worthless Yu Xiaogang, he was nothing more than a stray dog by the roadside.

When given face, he could be called Grandmaster. When not given face, Yu Xiaogang was simply trash who had only broken through to Level 29 before turning fifty.

Tang Hao glared at the Sky Screen with murderous intent. "The mighty Clear Sky Hammer, the towering Clear Sky Sect. Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, just wait for my grandfather's frenzied revenge..."

After obtaining information about his ancestor Tang Chen, Tang Hao finally emerged from his previous frustration.

Ever since the Sky Screen descended and opened the Human Powerhouse Rankings, he had been confident that he could earn a place on it.

But who would have thought that the first person to make the rankings would be Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong? That left him utterly speechless.

What frustrated him even more was that Bibi Dong, the first person on the list, was actually a Level 99 Peerless Douluo and the inheritor of the Rakshasa God. It nearly scared him to death.

Tang Hao rubbed his eyes in disbelief, trying to shake off this absurd information.

Since when had Peerless Douluos become so common?

He had merely spent more than a decade in Holy Soul Village, yet the Sky Screen was telling him that there were actually ten Peerless Douluo powerhouses in the world.

Nine of them had even entered the Divine Realm, while even the weakest and lowest-ranked Bibi Dong possessed a Deity inheritance.

When Tang Hao learned this information, he nearly collapsed.

No matter how arrogant he was, he had to admit one thing: even if Xiao San grew up, he still would not be able to destroy Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong alone, an existence invincible below God-Level, was enough to give the father and son a terrible headache, not to mention Qian Daoliu, who had entered the Divine Realm.

But thankfully, heaven never blocked every path. Qian Daoliu's exposure had also revealed two other Peerless Douluos, allowing Tang Hao to obtain information about his ancestor Tang Chen.

As long as the Sky Screen revealed where his ancestor Tang Chen was, he would set out to find him. He would make Spirit Hall pay the price.

Just as Tang Hao eagerly awaited the Sky Screen's revelation of Tang Chen, new text and footage appeared in the Sky Screen overhead.

[Reviewing the ten strongest humans on Douluo Star.]

[TOP 8: Bo Saixi.]

Everyone: "Huh???"

"Bo Saixi???"

"Another name we've never heard before!"

"What kind of powerhouse is this???"

Unlike Qian Daoliu, whom older Soul Masters still remembered, Bo Saixi had remained on Sea God Island and never set foot on the continent. Apart from Sea Soul Masters, almost no one knew her.

But since she ranked above Qian Daoliu, her strength had to be unfathomable. What shocked everyone even more was that Bo Saixi's name clearly belonged to a female Soul Master.

A female powerhouse who stood above Qian Daoliu—this information instantly caused an enormous uproar and overturned everyone's understanding. Countless people began speculating about Bo Saixi's origins and strength.

"The name Bo Saixi carries a gentle beauty. Just hearing it tells you that she must be an incomparably elegant female powerhouse!"

"Judging by the style of that name alone, she doesn't sound like a native of our Douluo Continent. Could she be some reclusive powerhouse from overseas?"

Discussions rose and fell without end. Because of the name "Bo Saixi," the entire Douluo Continent descended into an unprecedented frenzy of debate.

Only Sea God Island had an entirely different reaction.

The Seven Sacred Pillars were filled with reverence and respect. "Congratulations to the High Priest for receiving the Sky Screen's recognition and ranking eighth among the ten strongest humans on Douluo Star..."

Although eighth place was not an especially impressive rank, the High Priest making the top ten human powerhouses list was enough to prove Sea God Island's terrifying foundation to all of Douluo Star.

One had to know that the tenth- and ninth-ranked individuals were Spirit Hall's Pope Bibi Dong and Grand Enshrinement Qian Daoliu. The former was a Peerless Douluo and inheritor of the Rakshasa God, while the latter was the Angel God's High Priest, a Demigod-level powerhouse.
