The Papal Hall.
As Bibi Dong read the assessment on the Sky Ranking List, her pupils abruptly contracted, and she cried out in shock:
"There's actually a long-range attacker in this world even stronger than Light Feather Douluo?"
Behind her, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also paled slightly.
No one could remain calm upon learning that an unknown powerhouse existed who could easily take their lives.
Bibi Dong clenched her fists until her knuckles whitened, her expression turning exceptionally grim:
"Someone like that could probably inflict serious injuries even on me. Unless I break through to Level 99, I doubt I could subdue them."
At that thought, she abruptly raised her head and stared fixedly at the Sky Ranking List:
"Fortunately, we have the Sky Ranking List. Once it's my turn to appear and I break through to Level 99, even Qian Daoliu won't be able to do anything to me.
"Much less the greatest long-range attacker on the Douluo Continent! If they dare provoke me, I'll make them die a horrible death!"
The Worship Hall.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"How could there possibly be a long-range Soul Master stronger than Guang Ling?"
Several of the enshrined wore expressions of shock and disbelief.
They knew just how terrifying the Level 96 Light Feather Douluo was.
Once Light Feather Douluo put enough distance between himself and his opponent, even Golden Crocodile Douluo, at level 98, could not evade his powerful attacks and could only endure them.
Even if Golden Crocodile Douluo ultimately won, he would be covered in wounds—and that was with the Golden Crocodile King's terrifying defenses.
Any other level 98 powerhouse who could not get close to Light Feather Douluo might well end up losing to him instead.
Light Feather Douluo might even emerge completely unscathed.
Such was the might of a Level 96 supreme long-range attacker!
Yet now, the Sky Ranking List was telling them that an even more terrifying long-range attacker existed on the Douluo Continent. How could they accept that?
Did that not mean that unless Level 99 Qian Daoliu intervened, the rest of them could only await death if they faced that person?
After his initial shock, Light Feather Douluo's expression became solemn and grave:
"I've never heard of a long-range attacker stronger than me on the Douluo Continent. But if the Sky Ranking List says so, then such a powerhouse truly exists.
"Their Soul Power is probably higher than mine, quite possibly at Level 97. No one understands the terror of a long-range attacker better than I do.
"Against someone like that, unless our eldest brother intervenes with his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, no one in the world could deal with them."
The other enshrined nodded in agreement.
Difficult as it was to accept, those were the facts. They had no choice.
All six enshrined turned to Qian Daoliu.
His expression solemn, Qian Daoliu pondered for a long while before slowly speaking:
"Investigate! We must find that person. Even I would have to expend considerable effort to subdue someone like that. We absolutely cannot leave them unchecked."
The other six enshrined nodded emphatically.
Just then, the golden lettering on the Sky Ranking List gradually disappeared, and a new line of golden text slowly emerged.
Countless beings across the Douluo Continent perked up.
"The rating is here!"
"Will the Martial Soul rating of the Douluo Continent's second-greatest long-range attacker surpass Six-Star?"
Every being stared intently at the Sky Ranking List.
Light Feather Douluo also fixed his gaze on the Sky Ranking List.
The golden lettering gradually became clear.
[Rating: Seven-Star]
Every being on the Douluo Continent widened their eyes.
Cheers rang out across the continent.
"Hahaha! Finally, a Martial Soul above Six-Star!"
"I told you there was no way our Douluo Continent didn't have a Seven-Star Martial Soul! And here it is!"
Bibi Dong watched the Sky Ranking List, the corners of her lips lifting slightly:
"If even the Light Feather Divine Bow Martial Soul can reach Seven-Star, then my two Martial Souls are certain to rank above that!"
The Worship Hall.
"Hahaha! Congratulations, Guang Ling! Your Martial Soul received a Seven-Star rating!"
Several enshrined stepped forward to congratulate Light Feather Douluo.
Light Feather Douluo's smile deepened as he looked toward the Sky Ranking List, his eyes bright.
Blue Tyrant Academy.
"If even the Light Feather Divine Bow Martial Soul can reach Seven-Star, Xiaosan, your Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is undoubtedly worth a perfect ten stars!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke to Tang San with absolute certainty.
Tang San looked down at the Clear Sky Hammer in his palm and nodded. Then he raised his head toward the Sky Ranking List and said expectantly:
"I wonder whether my reward will also be an increase in Soul Ring age and one level of Soul Power."
Dai Mubai and the others looked at Tang San enviously.
Then Yu Xiaogang turned to Ning Rongrong and said:
"Rongrong, although your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul isn't as good as the Clear Sky Hammer, it's still quite decent. It should receive a Seven-Star rating too. Your turn will come soon."
"According to my calculations, your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda should rank either ninth or eighth."
Ning Rongrong's brows drew together almost imperceptibly, and she retorted indignantly:
"My Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is no worse than the Clear Sky Hammer! It can compete for first place too!"
"Oh?" Yu Xiaogang raised his brows in amusement.
"Are you questioning my judgment?"
"Yes!" Ning Rongrong stubbornly met Yu Xiaogang's gaze without yielding an inch.
Faced with Ning Rongrong's bluntness, Yu Xiaogang felt he was losing face. His expression soured slightly, and he snorted:
"Ignorant! I, the Grandmaster, have decades of experience and the greatest knowledge on the continent. Do you really think my judgment is inferior to that of a thirteen-year-old girl?"
"Who knows?" Ning Rongrong showed no regard for Yu Xiaogang's dignity.
"Fine, fine, fine. Then let's see whether my prediction is accurate!" Yu Xiaogang sneered and said no more.
Seeing this, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Flender, and the others could hardly intervene. They could only exchange helpless glances.
Both the older man and the young girl were proud, with fiercely strong self-respect. Neither would be easy to coax, so they could only leave things to cool down.
Hidden nearby, Tang Hao cast an indifferent glance at Ning Rongrong, his heart full of disdain:
"A mere support-type tool Martial Soul dares compare itself to my Clear Sky Hammer? You overestimate yourself. Once the rankings come out, you'll have to bow your head."
Just then, the golden lettering on the Sky Ranking List disappeared, and two new lines slowly emerged.
At the sight, countless beings across the Douluo Continent watched with burning gazes.
"The rewards are coming!"
Light Feather Douluo stared at the Sky Ranking List with fervent eyes.
The two new lines of golden text fully emerged, appearing clearly before everyone's eyes.
[Reward: The age of all Soul Rings increased by forty thousand years; Soul Power increased by one level] [Reward recipient: Guang Ling]
Though they had expected it, the entire Douluo Continent still erupted the moment they saw the rewards.
Countless beings felt their scalps tingle, the envy in their eyes almost becoming tangible.
"Aaaah! Forty thousand years added to every Soul Ring! That's terrifying! I want that so badly!"
"Every Soul Ring will be at least forty thousand years old! The power of every Soul Skill will soar dramatically. That's terrifying!"
"Damn it! Why can't my Hoe Martial Soul make the ranking?"
"Uh... please stop talking nonsense. What is your Martial Soul, some random nobody from the roadside?"
"How dare you say that about me! Have you got the guts to fight me one-on-one?"
"Level 18 Soul Master, Wang Goudan. Please enlighten me."
"...I should go hoe the fields. I won't stoop to arguing with you."
