Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Sword Douluo stared at the Sky Ranking List, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Isn't something wrong with the rewards on this list? Why is Eighth Place getting less than Ninth Place?" Bone Douluo looked bewildered and resentful.
Sword Douluo sighed at his words. "There can only be one explanation. Bibi Dong was already at Level 99, so the reward for Ninth Place was to raise her to the Peak of Mortal Beings. It couldn't just grant her Level 100 Godhood."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both understood, but regret and disappointment soon appeared on their faces.
They had thought their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would gain two beings at the peak of mortal beings, allowing them to contend with Spirit Hall. Now, it seemed they had been building castles in the air.
Bone Douluo sighed and tilted his head back to look at the Sky Ranking List.
The Sky Ranking List trembled slightly, and a streak of golden light shot out, descending into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Under Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi's gazes, the golden light entered Bone Douluo's body.
The instant the golden light entered him, Bone Douluo's eyes flew wide open. He felt all the Soul Power in his body boil.
Then, the bottleneck that had plagued him for over a decade shattered in an instant.
His Soul Power surged violently.
A breakthrough—Level 96.
At the same time, rings of light appeared beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
Under the golden light's influence, the Spirit Rings rapidly changed color before finally settling.
Black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, red.
Five black, four red.
Beside him, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo's eyes widened at the terrifying Spirit Ring configuration, horror filling their faces.
Even though they had expected this, the visual impact still made it impossible for them to remain calm.
Five Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!
An ordinary Titled Douluo could hardly obtain even one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, yet Bone Douluo now possessed four all by himself.
How utterly shocking.
After fully absorbing the golden light, Bone Douluo slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the tremendous Soul Power within him, he wept freely.
"I've finally broken through to Level 96..."
"Old Bone, look beneath your feet," Sword Douluo said, pointing down at Bone Douluo's feet.
Bone Douluo lowered his head at those words. His eyes abruptly widened, and his breath stopped.
The terrifying Spirit Ring configuration filled his vision, leaving him dazzled.
While the three of them were immersed in shock and wild joy, a new line of golden text slowly emerged on the Sky Ranking List.
Countless beings across the Douluo Continent focused their attention, staring fixedly at the Sky Ranking List.
"Seventh place is coming!"
“What Martial Soul will it be?”
The golden text fully appeared.
[TOP 7: Seven Kill Sword]
Countless beings across the Douluo Continent paused as they looked at the Sky Ranking List, then nodded.
“The Seven Kill Sword ranking seventh makes perfect sense.”
"Exactly. Sword Douluo is known as the Titled Douluo with the strongest attacks on the Douluo Continent. Seventh place is well deserved."
“Hiss! If the Seven Kill Sword only ranks seventh, how terrifying must the Martial Souls above it be? It's unimaginable.”
Before the Papal Hall, Bibi Dong looked at the Sky Ranking List and nodded slightly.
“Sword Douluo ranking seventh is reasonable.”
Blue Tyrant Academy.
“Grandpa Sword made the list too! Seventh place!” Ning Rongrong jumped for joy once again.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both smiled as they congratulated Sword Douluo.
Sword Douluo looked up at the sky, his expression complicated.
“To think my Seven Kill Sword would only rank seventh.”
Ning Fengzhi said, “Uncle Jian, seventh place is already very high. After all, this is a ranking of Martial Souls across the entire Douluo Continent.”
Sword Douluo nodded at his words, composed himself, and smiled.
"True. Seventh will do. I can break through to Level 97 too."
The ranking remained on the Sky Ranking List for one minute before disappearing, replaced by a new line of text.
Countless beings across the Douluo Continent watched expectantly.
"The assessment of the Seven Kill Sword Spirit is coming. I wonder what it will say."
They did not have to wait long before the assessment of the Seven Kill Sword Spirit appeared.
[Assessment: The Seven Kill Sword Spirit is a top-tier power attack system tool Martial Soul. Possessing the ultimate power of slaughter and unmatched sharpness, it is the world's foremost offensive tool Martial Soul, with excellent potential.]
Countless beings across the Douluo Continent nodded at the assessment.
"That assessment perfectly matches the Seven Kill Sword's characteristics."
"Exactly. The Seven Kill Sword deserves to be called the world's foremost offensive tool Martial Soul."
Sword Douluo's smile deepened as he read the assessment on the Sky Ranking List.
One minute later, a new line of golden text appeared.
"The rating is coming."
"How many stars will it get?"
"I reckon it'll still be Eight-Star."
Under the gazes of every being, the golden text fully emerged, clear for all to see.
[Rating: Eight-Star]
No one looked surprised at the sight.
Even Sword Douluo himself nodded.
"My Martial Soul isn't much higher in quality than the Bone Dragon. An Eight-Star rating makes perfect sense."
Countless beings across the Douluo Continent stared intently at the Sky Ranking List, their eyes burning.
"The rewards should be next."
"Damn it. I know full well they aren't mine, and seeing them will only make me miserable with envy, but I still can't help wanting to look. Is there something wrong with me?"
"Brother, you're not alone."
The rating remained on the Sky Ranking List for one minute before disappearing. Two new lines of text gradually became clear.
[Reward: Increase the Soul Ring Age of all Spirit Rings by ninety thousand years; increase Soul Power by one level.] [Reward Recipient: Chen Xin]
Countless beings across the Douluo Continent felt their hearts wrench as they read the rewards in the sky.
"Hiss! These rewards are getting more and more terrifying. The Soul Ring Age of every Spirit Ring increases by ninety thousand years!"
"Sword Douluo is a Titled Douluo. Doesn't that mean, aside from his first four soul rings, all five of the others will be crimson Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings?"
"That's terrifying. Just thinking about it is frightening—five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As Sword Douluo looked at the rewards on the Sky Ranking List, he felt as though a stone had finally dropped from his heart.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Who would have thought that I'd obtain Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings in my lifetime—and five of them, at that."
"Congratulations, Uncle Jian." Ning Fengzhi stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands in congratulation.
Bone Douluo also stepped forward, smiling as he offered his congratulations. "Heh, Old Sword, I only just caught up with your level, and now your soul power is about to surpass mine again."
Sword Douluo smiled as he returned their greetings, then looked up at the sky.
The Sky Ranking List trembled slightly.
A streak of golden light shot out and descended into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect under the envious gazes of countless beings.
Finally, as Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo watched, the golden light entered Sword Douluo's body.
The instant the golden light entered him, Sword Douluo's soul power surged violently.
A terrifying pressure erupted from his body. Fierce winds rose all around them, making the three men's robes snap and their hair whip wildly.
A breakthrough—Level 97!
Then, rings of light appeared beneath Sword Douluo's feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
The Spirit Rings rapidly changed color before finally settling.
Black, black, black, black, red, red, red, red, red.
Four black, five red.
The five Spirit Rings that exceeded the standard configuration left both Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo somewhat dazed.
