The Foolish Boy and the Foolish Girl

Amid everyone's anticipation, the Sky Screen changed once more.

[Those invincible in the sky would willingly descend to the land and sea.]

[Those invincible on land would make use of their own advantages.]

[Those invincible in the ocean would never leave it.]

[Qian Daoliu, invincible in the sky, did not understand how to make use of his own advantages. He lost because his character was too upright.]

"Lost... because his character was too upright?"

Qian Daoliu's mouth hung slightly open, but he stopped himself from speaking.

Faced with the Sky Screen's assessment, he wanted to argue, yet he had no idea how to put it into words.

His overly upright nature had actually become a flaw?

Did honest people deserve to be bullied?

Seeing Qian Daoliu's complicated expression, Golden Crocodile and the others exchanged glances. They all looked at their noses, then their hearts, not daring to say a word.

This Sky Screen's assessment really hit the nail on the head!

Whether facing Tang Chen or Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, their eldest brother, really had been far too upright.

If they had God-Level strength, they would have long since flattened the Clear Sky Sect.

Even Bibi Dong, that woman, would have been dealt with alongside them. Let her keep acting arrogant, let her keep bullying Xiao Xue.

Golden Crocodile stroked his chin and comforted him. "Great Enshrinement, you lost to Tang Chen back then precisely because you gave up your own advantage and used your weakness against his strength. In a battle like that, even if you lost, it wasn't an unfair defeat."

You could say Qian Daoliu was too upright, but you could not say he was weak. Just as the Sky Screen said, a Demigod was still a god.

To those who had never entered the world of Soul Masters, Qian Daoliu was like a frog in a well gazing at the moon. Only those who had reached the rank of Titled Douluo could see Qian Daoliu as a mayfly looking up at the heavens.

"Golden Crocodile, you don't need to comfort me."

"A loss is a loss!"

"I can accept defeat!"

Golden Crocodile's consolation only made Qian Daoliu want to cry without tears.

He would rather forgo the Sky Screen's reward than be exposed like this!

No matter how much Qian Daoliu cursed inwardly, the Sky Screen still began showing scenes of his battles with Tang Chen and Bo Saixi.

Facing Tang Chen's Great Sumeru Hammer, Qian Daoliu neither dodged nor evaded, charging straight ahead with the Angel Saint Sword in hand.

Facing Bo Saixi's towering tsunami, Qian Daoliu still neither dodged nor evaded, charging straight ahead with the Angel Saint Sword in hand.

Everyone: ∑(O_O;)

Well, damn.

Qian Daoliu's uprightness left everyone dumbfounded.

This was more than just being upright!

This was practically having something wrong with his brain.

Everyone could not help wondering how someone as foolish as Qian Daoliu had cultivated to the Demigod realm.

Could cultivating without using one's brain be some brand-new cultivation method?

They had memorized it, memorized it. They would try it someday too.

If someone as foolish as Qian Daoliu could cultivate to the Demigod realm, there had to be some logic to it.

Their demands were not high. Breaking through to Titled Douluo would already be an enormous profit.

Sea God Island.

Bo Saixi stared at the Sky Screen, her beautiful eyes blinking blankly.

Even she had to admit that Qian Daoliu really was too upright.

You were a flying Soul Master, yet you insisted on fighting her over the sea. Wasn't that just asking to be beaten?

Just as the Sky Screen said, those invincible in the ocean would never leave it. Whether she fought Qian Daoliu or Tang Chen, she had never once left the sea from beginning to end.

What troubled Bo Saixi was that Qian Daoliu had lost to Tang Chen back then because Qian Daoliu was too upright...

If Qian Daoliu was upright, did that not make Tang Chen look despicable?

Didn't that mean she had terrible taste?

Well, now that you mentioned it!

Qian Daoliu had never set foot in the Clear Sky Sect for his entire life because of a promise.

After Tang Chen regained his sanity, he went straight to attack Spirit City.

In terms of character, Tang Chen truly could not compare to Qian Daoliu.

"Upright or despicable, since I chose Tang Chen back then, I will not change my heart."

Bo Saixi did not care about such matters. Right now, she only wanted to know through the Sky Screen whether Tang Chen was safe and well.

She had not seen Tang Chen for a very, very long time. Seeing him through the Sky Screen could count as another kind of reunion.

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.

Not long after returning from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Qian Renxue saw information that left her speechless.

Her kind and approachable grandfather, whose strength reached the heavens, was actually a "foolish boy" in the Sky Screen's eyes?

Qian Renxue's mouth twitched fiercely. "Grandfather, you're really going to lose all your face this time!"

Little did she know that, in the Sky Screen's eyes, she too was a "foolish girl"!

In the original work, after Qian Renxue became a god, she not only failed to kill that Little Scumbag, God-King Tang, but even made a wager with him. Later, her heart was pierced by a lousy hidden weapon.

Qian Renxue's actions were simply idiotic!

In the original timeline, she let Tang San go again and again.

If she could spare Tang San once today, she could spare him twice tomorrow, then keep sparing him countless times afterward.

Qian Renxue, the Angel God, had practically become a horse-releaser...

Shui Wuyou, also a Deity, felt that Qian Renxue had simply disgraced all Deities. The mighty Angel God had actually been killed in a counterattack by a lousy hidden weapon. It was utterly absurd.

After the Sky Screen revealed the three great Peerless Douluo, everyone began speculating about eighth and seventh place.

Qian Daoliu, invincible in the sky, was ranked ninth. Then eighth and seventh should be the ones invincible in the ocean and on land.

As for who ranked seventh and who ranked eighth, that was impossible to know.

What everyone wondered was what kind of being could stand above the three great Peerless Douluo. Could they be the legendary Deities?

[TOP 9: Qian Daoliu's assessment has concluded.]

[Assessment reward: the age of all Soul Rings increases by twenty thousand years.]

Everyone: (〝▼皿▼)

They had been laughing happily just moments ago, but now they could not laugh anymore.

Qian Daoliu might have been a little foolish, but the Sky Screen's reward made them drool with envy!

For ordinary civilian Soul Masters, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was an immensely powerful treasure, something they might never obtain even once in their lives.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"An increase of twenty thousand years for all Soul Rings?"

"What a pity!"

Seeing the Sky Screen reward Qian Daoliu had received, Shui Wuyou gently shook his head. A trace of regret and understanding flashed through his eyes.

Increasing all Soul Rings by twenty thousand years was an opportunity that even Titled Douluo would envy, but to Qian Daoliu, this Sky Screen reward was of little use.

Forget increasing all Soul Rings by twenty thousand years—even doubling their age again would not break the High Priest's shackles, nor would it allow Qian Daoliu to become a god at level one hundred.

Snow Empress, standing beside him, nodded. "My husband is right. If Qian Daoliu could obtain a better ranking, perhaps my husband would not even need to intervene. The Sky Screen's reward might be able to break the shackles preventing a High Priest from becoming a god."

Just as Shui Wuyou and the others were lamenting...

—Rumble—

The Sky Screen sent down another golden pillar of light, instantly enveloping Qian Daoliu.

Within the pillar of light, Qian Daoliu felt no discomfort at all. He only felt a vast power pouring into his body...
