National Destiny Trial Rankings

Above National Destiny Plaza, Zhao Xuan's information was specially enlarged and displayed on the projection screen, visible to all Dragon Nation viewers in the National Destiny Livestream.

[Trial World: Soul Land World]

[Identity: Core Disciple of Star Luo Academy]

[Martial Soul: White Tiger]

[Realm: Soul Ancestor]

[Experience: Participated in Star Luo Academy's annual tournament, defeated over thirty opponents to claim first place, received a Millennium Spirit Bone as an academy reward, then ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest... and finally advanced to Soul Ancestor!]

[Soul Skills: White Tiger Annihilation Roar, White Tiger Windstep: Shadow, White Tiger Sky-Splitting Strike, White Tiger Star Devour]

As they watched Zhao Xuan's information on the screen, every Dragon Nation viewer wore a confident smile, while bullet comments surged through the livestream.

"Soul Ancestor? My god! This National Destiny Trial is definitely in the bag!"

"We're guaranteed a top-three finish. We might even take first!"

"Tsk, tsk. If the Cherry Blossom Nation and Kimchi Nation find out, they'll probably cough up blood from anger!"

"For nine consecutive trials, our Dragon Nation hasn't received a National Destiny reward. This time, we'll definitely reclaim everything we lost!"

"I heard this is the Centennial Trial, and the rewards are far greater than in previous years. If we rank first this time, we might even recover everything we lost over the past nine trials!"

"Haha, he's already a Soul Ancestor on the first day. Is there even any point in competing after this?"

"Just watch. There'll be treasure rankings later, and we can even invite people from the trial worlds onto the trial battlefield!"

"Treasure rankings? If our trial contestant obtains a divine artifact like the Sea God's Trident, wouldn't he be able to crush those foreign contestants with ease!?"

"And the National Destiny Trial battlefield? If we can invite Lord Tang San from the Soul Land World, those Cherry Blossom Nation people will probably bow the moment they see him..."

Meanwhile, quite a few influential figures had gathered in a spacious room within National Destiny Plaza.

Looking at the character information on the screen, representatives from the various clans nodded one after another. Some who were close to the Zhao Clan even began offering congratulations.

"The Zhao Clan has truly produced an outstanding prodigy!"

"Becoming a Soul Ancestor on the first day of the trial—only that super genius from the Zhao Clan achieved such a result back then. In that trial, he helped Dragon Nation take first place."

"Now, he's already a Limit Douluo!"

"In my opinion, we'll most likely take first this time as well!"

Listening to the congratulations around him, the Zhao Clan head felt immensely pleased, though he still offered a few modest remarks.

"You can't say that for certain. The Cherry Blossom Nation, Kimchi Nation, and Eagle Sauce Nation have all been searching for new worlds these past years. The Cherry Blossom Nation's Naruto World is said to be a rather formidable high-martial world, while the high-ranking angels and greater demons in the Eagle Sauce Nation's Heaven World are no pushovers either!"

"Of course, I can't guarantee first place, but a top-three finish will definitely belong to Dragon Nation!"

In the National Destiny Livestream, the trial ranking channels were all connected to one another!

Seeing that Dragon Nation's trial contestant had already become a Soul Ancestor, the people of Dragon Nation naturally showed no mercy as they flaunted it before contestants from other nations.

"Our Dragon Nation is taking first this time. He's already a Soul Ancestor—we're guaranteed a top-three finish in this trial!"

"Once we get onto the trial battlefield, it'll be time for the Cherry Blossom Nation to repay its old debts!"

After so many years of National Destiny Trials, every nation stood in competition with the others, so their relationships naturally could not be called good.

There were also plenty of blood debts accumulated on the National Destiny Battlefield.

On the surface, the Cherry Blossom Nation naturally fired back without backing down.

"First in the trial? Hahaha, you Dragon Nation people think you deserve it?"

"Just wait and see. The Naruto World will absolutely crush your so-called Soul Land World!"

"Lord Kato Kaito is already at Peak Jonin. He can deal with your so-called Soul Ancestor using one hand!"

"Your Dragon Nation's national destiny is nearly exhausted. If you still can't make the top ten this time, national extinction won't be far away!"

"Just wait. Once the trial ends, Dragon Nation's territory should belong to our Cherry Blossom Nation!"

Though the Cherry Blossom Nation people talked a big game, seeing how certain the Dragon Nation people were made them feel somewhat uneasy.

The Cherry Blossom Nation had yet to fully explore the Naruto World. Although their super genius was considered the best-performing contestant of the recent trials, he had never faced a Soul Ancestor from Dragon Nation's Soul Land World head-on!

For the time being, they had no idea who was stronger!

"Those Dragon Nation people seem really confident. Could they truly be stronger than our Jonin?"

"Twenty years ago, Dragon Nation did have a trial contestant who became a Soul Ancestor on the first day. Then Dragon Nation took first place in that trial!"

"Hmph, that was ages ago! Our Cherry Blossom Nation has constantly been searching for stronger trial worlds. At the very least, the Naruto World is far stronger than our mainstream trial worlds from twenty years ago!"

"I think Dragon Nation has a high chance of reaching the top three this time, but they probably still can't compare to our Jonin lord..."

As contestants from the various nations traded barbs, a flash of light appeared, and a ranking list rose within the livestream. It slowly began displaying the rankings of each nation's trial contestants.

[Rank 100]

[Trial Contestant: Park Guk-chang]

[Nation: Kimchi Nation]

[Trial World: Hero Hunter World]

[Realm: Elite Hunter]

[Rank 99]

[Trial Contestant: Lucas]

[Nation: Eagle Sauce Nation]

[Trial World: Heaven World]

[Realm: Four-Winged Angel]

The overall trial rankings would only display the names and nations of the top one hundred contestants. Of course, only the top ten contestants and their respective nations would receive rewards.

As they watched the trial rankings, the various livestreams grew even livelier, with countless bullet comments constantly flooding the screens.

But as the rankings drew closer and closer to the top ten, the bullet comments in each nation's livestream gradually dwindled. No matter how confident they had been before, everyone now unconsciously clenched their fists in nervousness.

"It's coming. We're about to reach the top ten!"

"Haha, Zhao Xuan's name still hasn't appeared. A top-ten finish is guaranteed!"

"Hmph, we still haven't seen him. In my opinion, he won't appear until the top three..."

"What rank will he be? Third, second, or even first!?"

As the Dragon Nation people excitedly made their guesses, the eleventh-ranked contestant slowly appeared on the leaderboard.

[Rank 11]

[Trial Contestant: Zhao Xuan]

[Nation: Dragon Nation]

[Trial World: Soul Land World]

[Realm: Soul Ancestor]

In an instant, the previously boisterous Dragon Nation livestream fell silent for a moment!

Everyone's eyes widened as they stared in disbelief at the name appearing on the screen!

On the trial plaza, all the Dragon Nation viewers who had been discussing the rankings fervently instantly went pale. The joy and anticipation in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by endless disappointment and despair.

"Eleventh... rank eleven!? How is that possible!?"
