TOP8 (1 / 2)

"Click."

A high heel stepped onto the shattered floor.

Bibi Dong looked down at Qian Daoliu and the six others, sprawled every which way in the crater, groaning in pain.

Lying on the ground, Qian Daoliu struggled to raise his head toward Bibi Dong.

"I never imagined... a Demigod could be so powerful. Even together, we had no power to resist."

"Heh, you fell before I even used my full strength. How utterly boring."

Bibi Dong released her Martial Soul Possession. Her arms returned to their slender, fair-skinned form, and she straightened her slightly disheveled clothes with a sneer.

"Of course. As a Demigod, there's no one left on the Douluo Continent worth my full strength. I could sweep across the continent with one hand.

You old fossils should be grateful you're still useful. For now, I still need you to conquer the two great empires for me. Otherwise, you would have died just now."

Qian Daoliu and the others clenched their teeth, their faces filled with defiance, but there was nothing they could do.

"Heh, focus on recovering. From this day forward, I am the heavens above Spirit Hall, and my commands are supreme divine decrees.

Anyone who dares disobey will die a miserable death."

Bibi Dong swept a cold, contemptuous glance over Qian Daoliu and the others, then turned and left with a smile.

Not far away, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood dumbstruck, their mouths wide enough to fit watermelons and their jaws nearly hitting the ground.

Her Holiness the Pope had become so powerful that even the seven Great Enshrined together could not so much as scratch her.

Was this the power of the Peak of Mortal Beings?

Truly terrifying.

No one knew about the great battle in Spirit Hall.

At that moment, countless beings across the Douluo Continent were staring unblinkingly at the Sky Ranking List.

"The eighth-ranked Martial Soul is about to appear."

"Let's see what martial soul could be stronger than the Pope of Spirit Hall's!"

"Look, there it is!"

A line of golden text fully emerged, appearing clearly before everyone's eyes.

[TOP8: Bone Dragon]

"???"

Countless beings across the Douluo Continent were utterly bewildered.

What on earth was the Bone Dragon Spirit? How could it rank above the Pope of Martial Soul Hall's Martial Soul?

The few powerful individuals who knew about the bone dragon martial soul were equally bewildered.

I don't understand.

Why could the bone dragon martial soul make the list?

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Yu Xiaogang looked utterly baffled.

"Wait, even the bone dragon martial soul made the list? Isn't its defense just a little stronger? What's so outstanding about it?

The only powerful person on the Douluo Continent with a bone dragon martial soul is Bone Douluo Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As far as I know, he's only level 95. He hasn't even broken through to level 96—he's been stuck for over a decade.

That can make the list? That can rank eighth?"

Unlike Yu Xiaogang, Ning Rongrong jumped up in excitement the instant she saw the bone dragon martial soul on the list, cheering joyfully.

"It's Grandpa Bone's Martial Soul!! Grandpa Bone made the list, and he's eighth!!!"

Tang San had heard Yu Xiaogang discuss the bone dragon martial soul before. There was nothing particularly powerful or outstanding about it; its defense was exceptional, but beyond that, there was nothing special.

If anything was special, it was how strangely elusive it was, seemingly capable of traveling through space. Did that count as outstanding?

Watching the Sky Ranking List from the shadows, Tang Hao looked utterly speechless.

"Even the bone dragon martial soul made the list? That shouldn't be right. Judging by the previous entries, the Sky Ranking List isn't ranking them at random. Could there be something about the bone dragon martial soul I don't know?"

At Long Yichen's residence, not far from Blue Tyrant Academy.

Long Yichen watched the Sky Ranking List and nodded.

"The bone dragon martial soul is actually pretty damn impressive. It involves space, after all. I even think it shouldn't be called the bone dragon martial soul, but the spatial dragon instead.

However, there seem to be almost no spatial-attribute soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, which severely limits the bone dragon martial soul's growth. Otherwise, if Gu Rong abandoned the defensive path and specialized in space, who could beat him?

For escape, he'd have spatial evasion; against enemies, spatial slashes and teleportation; for defense, spatial shields on top of his already formidable defenses. Who could beat a Bone Dragon like that?"

In front of the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong had just landed when she looked at the Sky Ranking List, utterly astonished.

"The Bone Dragon Spirit ranks eighth? The list must be wrong. How could the Bone Dragon Spirit be stronger than my Martial Soul?"

Bibi Dong found it hard to accept. Frowning, she said,

"Once the evaluation appears, I'll see just where the bone dragon martial soul surpasses mine."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Old Bone!!"

"Uncle Gu!!"

Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi looked toward Bone Douluo, their faces brimming with excitement.

Bone Douluo stared at the Sky Ranking List in disbelief, his body trembling slightly.

"I thought I had no chance of making the list. I never imagined I would rank eighth. I... am content."

"Hahaha! I was sweating on your behalf, but I never expected you to rank eighth. You've truly blown my expectations out of the water!"

Sword Douluo laughed and patted Bone Douluo's shoulder, smiling with particular delight, happy for his friend.

Ning Fengzhi's wild joy was mingled with pleasant surprise.

He, too, had thought Bone Douluo would fail to make the list, only to receive an enormous surprise.

Barely suppressing his excitement and elation, Ning Fengzhi said,

"Uncle Gu, Bibi Dong ranked Ninth Place, and her reward raised her straight to the limit of mortal beings. Your reward is bound to be even better!

Now the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strongest fighters can finally just about hold their own against Spirit Hall."

At those words, both Sword Douluo's and Bone Douluo's eyes lit up.

That's right!

In their excitement, they had nearly forgotten about that.

They immediately tilted their heads back to gaze at the sky, staring intently at the Sky Ranking List with faces full of hope.

The ranking remained on the Sky Ranking List for a minute before disappearing, and a new line of text appeared in its place.

Countless beings across the Douluo Continent stared intently at the Sky Ranking List, their eyes stretched as wide as possible.

"The bone dragon martial soul's evaluation is coming!"

"Let's see what qualifies the bone dragon martial soul to make the list, let alone rank eighth!"

Bibi Dong also stared intently at the Sky Ranking List. She, too, wanted to see what qualified the bone dragon martial soul to rank above hers.

Yu Xiaogang and the others were no different.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the new golden text fully emerged.

[Evaluation: The Bone Dragon Spirit is a top-tier power-attack-type beast Martial Soul, possessing both defensive and spatial properties. Unfortunately, spatial-attribute soul beasts are rare on the Douluo Continent, severely restricting the Bone Dragon Spirit's development in its Spatial Attribute and greatly diminishing its potential. Otherwise, its potential would be among the rarest in the world.]

At this evaluation, countless beings across the Douluo Continent froze in unison.

A Spatial Attribute?

They only knew that Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect excelled at defense. They had never known that his bone dragon martial soul also possessed a spatial attribute.

Wait, was this spatial attribute really so powerful? Could it propel the bone dragon martial soul straight into eighth place?

Truly terrifying.

"Look at the last line: its potential would be among the rarest in the world."

"Before, the last line only ever said excellent potential. The bone dragon martial soul went straight to among the rarest in the world. The Sky Ranking List can't be wrong. It looks like the spatial attribute really is powerful."

"Ah, what a pity. Martial Souls with the Spatial Attribute are scarce on the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, that Bone Douluo's achievements probably wouldn't have stopped here."

"A level 95 Titled Douluo isn't good enough? What the hell are you pitying him for? He could kill you with a single breath!"
