Gu Rong did not notice Ning Fengzhi's worries. He said cheerfully,

"Once we get the ranking rewards, you old sword, let's have another match."

"Hmph." Chen Xin stood with his hands behind his back. "I'll still be stronger than you, you old bag of bones."

Chen Xin acknowledged Gu Rong's strength.

Even if this ranking measured individual strength, Gu Rong could squeeze into the top ten.

With the two of them there, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's third-place ranking was already nailed down.

As silence fell, a wild thought suddenly struck Ning Fengzhi.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, do Soul Beasts count as a force?"

Did Soul Beasts count as a force? Both men froze.

If they did, there would be serious trouble. A Titled Douluo might be considered a match for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast,

but an ordinary Titled Douluo was no match for one at all.

Encountering a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast alone meant having no choice but to flee for their life.

If they counted, there were two in the heart of Star Dou Forest. And if Star Dou Forest counted as a force...

Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, disbelief flashing through their eyes.

Surely... not?

Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life.

Splash.

A middle-aged man with black hair, golden eyes, and a black robe flew out of the lake and looked up at the screen in the sky.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in his dragon eyes.

He could be exposed, but the Supreme Lord absolutely could not. This had to be another plot by the Divine Realm!

The Dragon God Claw appeared on his hand, and he shot straight into the sky!

Boom!

He fell back down just as quickly as he had charged up!

The screen in the sky remained completely unharmed. Only a new giant crater appeared beside the Lake of Life.

Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance, fear flashing in their eyes.

"Should we go take a look?"

Fortunately, the commotion had roused everyone, and the Ferocious Beasts leaped out from beneath the lake.

A woman in a long jade-green dress flew into the crater and helped the dust-covered Di Tian out.

Looking at the wounds on Di Tian's body, Bi Ji asked with concern,

"How are you? Are you badly hurt?"

Di Tian waved a hand and struggled to his feet.

"No. I can't destroy that screen. What just happened was a warning."

Xiong Jun, who had been about to join the attack, immediately pulled back his claws.

That was close. I nearly followed in his footsteps.

"One warning left you seriously injured?"

Xiong Jun swallowed and drew his claws back a little farther.

Good thing I didn't attack.

"Since we can't resist, we might as well enjoy it. The Divine Realm must have seen a disturbance this big. Let's take first place and see if it gives us a way out."

The Ferocious Beasts nodded. For now, that was all they could do.

Rather than dwell on it, why not go back and siphon some more from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm? It would be a shame if the beast died before they had drained their power bank.

With that thought, they turned into dark shadows and streamed into the Secret Realm beneath the lake.

Suotuo City, outside Shrek Academy.

Tang San and Xiao Wu stared at the screen in the sky, astonished.

"Wow, Xiao San, that screen looks so powerful! Do you think Shrek Academy can earn a place on it?"

Tang San thought it over carefully. From what he had read, Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects would definitely rank near the top.

As for Shrek Academy...

Its fighting strength was unknown. He had only heard his teacher say it was a good academy.

At the back of the group, Ning Rongrong folded her arms and thought:

With Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Gu's strength, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should make the top three. No, it definitely will. Grandpa Jian is the strongest!

The young girl narrowed her eyes, already thinking about how to praise the two old rascals when she got home.

Far away in Nuoding City, Yu Xiaogang looked at the Heavenly Rankings in the sky, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

After Spirit Hall came the Upper Three Sects. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would surely make the top five.

A reward bestowed by a god would surely break the curse that had kept him at level 29 his entire life.

He had combed through countless records and reached one conclusion: those missing 0.5 levels of Soul Power had to be because a god envied his talent and cursed him.

He hoped this god could lift the curse.

If not, he would have no choice but to raise Xiao San into a god.

Just then, golden words appeared on the screen, and an emotionless whisper reached the ears of every living being.

[Top Ten Forces Rankings of Douluo, TOP 10.]

The moment those words appeared, they drew the gaze of every living being on the continent.

Which force would take tenth place?

On the surface, One Hall, the Two Empires, and the Upper Three Sects were the most powerful forces on the entire Douluo Continent.

The ruling families at the heart of the two empires were too weak, though. They could only rank near the bottom.

Among the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect ranked first, followed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Tenth place would probably go to one of the Four Elements Academy's schools.

[TOP 10: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]

When the words "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan" appeared, people across the continent froze in bewilderment.

That was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. How could it be relegated to tenth place?

Yu Xiaogang, in particular, could not accept it.

His father was a Titled Douluo. Why would they rank only tenth?

If this were a ranking of individual strength, he could accept it. But this was a ranking of forces!

A sect with a level 95 Titled Douluo ranked only tenth?

How did that make sense?

The Four Elements Academy and the Lower Four Sects, which had still harbored hopes of making the list, were even more dumbstruck.

In the blink of an eye, their dreams of making the rankings had shattered.

Yu Xiaogang angrily hurled the things in his room to the floor.

"This has to be a fake ranking! It has to be!"

On the border between Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Yuanzhen hovered above the clan grounds, stroked his beard, and looked toward the screen.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is only tenth?"

He had thought they would make at least fifth place. He had never expected them to be relegated to tenth.

Below, disciples gathered in the clan square, talking among themselves.

They simply could not accept that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had ranked only tenth.

It felt as though making the list had only given someone a chance to flog their corpse.

Some disciples and elders grumbled inwardly, but there was nothing they could do.

"The strongest Beast Martial Soul in the world, yet we're only tenth..."

"How can we be only tenth? Is this some fake ranking?!!!!"

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was acknowledged as the world's strongest Beast Martial Soul. Even Spirit Hall's books could not discuss Beast Martial Souls without mentioning it.

And their clan had the Dragon Transformation Secret Art. How could they be relegated to tenth?

"Quiet!"

Yu Yuanzhen's voice, carried by Soul Power, reached everyone below.

"Whether tenth place is right or not, won't we know once we see the rest?"

Yu Yuanzhen's words filled everyone with confidence again. They even straightened their backs.

Exactly. There are only ten spots. If you put the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan tenth, let's see how you rank the ones above us.

Yu Xiaogang had the same thought. You can't just switch rankings halfway through at fifth place. Let's see how you finish this when you run out of forces to put above us.

"I knew it. It's a fake ranking!"

With that, he began picking up the things scattered across the floor.

Let's see how you rank the rest!
