Chapter 24: The Golden Crocodile King Makes the Rankings

[Top 5: Golden Crocodile King]

Countless beings across the Douluo Continent stared blankly at the Sky Ranking List.

Wait, why was it another Martial Soul they didn't recognize?

A Martial Soul that overpowered the Clear Sky Hammer and ranked fifth, yet they had never even heard of it? Was that right?

"Golden Crocodile King? What Martial Soul is that? It sounds really powerful."

"No kidding! How could it rank fifth without being powerful? I just wonder whose Martial Soul it is. I've never even heard of it before."

Countless beings across the Douluo Continent buzzed with discussion.

Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Another Martial Soul I don't recognize."

Tang San stared bewilderedly at the Sky Ranking List, then turned toward Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher, do you know this Martial Soul?"

Dai Mubai and the others all turned to look at him.

Yu Xiaogang lifted his chin and said with a smile,

"Of course I do. There isn't a martial soul in this world that I don't know. The Golden Crocodile King is the martial soul of Spirit Hall's Second Worship."

"Martial Soul Hall again?!"

Tang San and the others gaped, utterly stunned.

Seriously, had Spirit Hall come to the Sky Ranking List to stock up? More than half the people on the list belonged to Spirit Hall.

Martial Soul Hall's reserves of strength were terrifying.

"That's right." Yu Xiaogang nodded and remarked,

"Martial Soul Hall's Second Worship is no ordinary man. Twenty years ago, he was already a supreme expert at level 98. Now that so many years have passed, who knows whether he's broken through to Level 99?"

"W-what level?!!"

Tang San and the others widened their eyes again, crying out in shock:

"Level 98!! Martial Soul Hall has an expert like that? He must be the strongest person on the Douluo Continent, right?"

"No." Yu Xiaogang shook his head.

"Martial Soul Hall also has a Great Enshrined named Qian Daoliu, a peerless expert at Level 99. He is the strongest person on the Douluo Continent, without question."

"Level 99?!!!"

Tang San and the others were already numb.

They had long known that Spirit Hall was powerful, but they had never imagined it was this powerful.

With a whole host of peerless experts, who could possibly defeat it?

Moreover, with Spirit Hall being so powerful, it was practically a miracle that it hadn't united the Douluo Continent.

Hidden in the shadows, Tang Hao nodded in wholehearted agreement upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.

He knew exactly how powerful Spirit Hall was. Back then, it had forced the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion.

However,

The corners of Tang Hao's mouth rose.

"Now that Grandfather has returned, even Spirit Hall will have to be wary of our Clear Sky Sect."

Enshrinement Hall.

"Hahaha! Second Brother, congratulations on making the list! Fifth place!"

Azure Luan Douluo, whose face was still somewhat pale, cupped his hands toward Golden Crocodile Douluo in congratulations.

The other Worships also stepped forward with smiles, though their bruised faces made those smiles particularly ugly.

Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled and looked up at the sky, anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

"I'd like to see how the Sky Ranking List evaluates my Martial Soul."

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 suddenly perked up.

"Here comes the evaluation!"

"Now I can see just how powerful the Golden Crocodile King Spirit is."

Under countless watchful gazes, the new line of text fully appeared.

[Evaluation: Golden Crocodile King Spirit, a super power attack system Martial Soul distinguished by its terrifying strength and defense. Excellent in both offense and defense, with astonishing potential.]

An uproar erupted!

Upon seeing the Sky Ranking List's evaluation, the Douluo Continent instantly seethed like a pot of boiling water.

"The Sky Ranking List's evaluation of the Golden Crocodile King Spirit is actually that high! Before, the highest praise was excellent potential, but this one went straight to astonishing potential!"

"Look at the beginning. The other Martial Souls were all Top-Level Martial Souls, but the Golden Crocodile King is called a Super Martial Soul."

"You're right! I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything. Good grief, a Super Martial Soul whose quality surpasses the top level? That's terrifying."

"Wait, we'd never even heard of such a terrifying Martial Soul before? Is that right? Does that make any sense?"

"Why wouldn't it make sense? Can't he keep a low profile?"

"Hold on, the Golden Crocodile King Spirit only ranks fifth. Just what kind of terrifying existences are the four Martial Souls above it?"

Outside the Worship Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the evaluation on the Sky Ranking List and nodded slightly.

"Not bad. That evaluation does suit my Martial Soul."

Then anticipation shone in his eyes. "I wonder whether my Martial Soul can earn a nine-star rating?"

The evaluation remained for one minute before disappearing.

A new line of golden text slowly emerged.

The discussion across the Douluo Continent grew even louder.

"Here comes the rating!"

"I'm ten thousand percent certain that the Golden Crocodile King Spirit's rating will definitely exceed eight stars!"

"Tell us something we don't know."

"..."

Under countless watchful eyes, the new line of text fully appeared.

[Rating: Nine stars]

"Haha, I told you it would definitely exceed Eight-Star! Sure enough!"

None of the countless beings across the Douluo Continent were surprised by this sight.

Of course. The Golden Crocodile King Spirit's evaluation was so high, clearly surpassing the Seven Kill Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer. How could it still have eight stars? A nine-star rating was perfectly reasonable.

In the Worship Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the Sky Ranking List, his smile deepening.

"Hehe, not bad. Nine stars. Only one star short of a perfect rating."

As he spoke, he looked toward Qian Daoliu.

"Great Enshrined, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and the Sea God Spirit should both receive ten-star ratings."

Qian Daoliu nodded with a smile, then pointed at the sky.

"Golden Crocodile, prepare to receive your reward."

Golden Crocodile Douluo abruptly turned to look at the sky.

Two new lines of golden text slowly appeared on the Sky Ranking List.

Countless beings across the Douluo Continent watched with burning gazes.

"Here comes the fifth-place reward!"

"Will it be different from the previous ones? I can't wait!"

Under everyone's riveted gazes, the two new lines of text fully appeared.

[Reward: The age of all soul rings increases by 110,000 years. Soul power increases by one level.]

[Reward recipient: Golden Crocodile]

Although this sight did not come as a surprise to the countless beings across the Douluo Continent, it still stirred up towering waves throughout the land.

"Aaaaaah! The Soul Ring Age of every Spirit Ring increases by 110,000 years!! Th-this is way too terrifying!!"

"Exactly! Now even his first Spirit Ring will be a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring—a scarlet hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring!"

"I'm so jealous. Why couldn't I be the reward recipient?"

"You can have anything in your dreams. Go to sleep."

Enshrinement Hall.

"Hahahaha! My reward is finally here! This old man has waited a long time!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo gazed at the Sky Ranking List and laughed heartily.

The other Worships all smiled and offered their congratulations.

The Sky Ranking List trembled slightly, and a streak of golden light shot out, descending into Spirit City.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi sighed softly at the sight.

"Another member of Spirit Hall. Counting Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, along with Golden Crocodile Douluo, who is about to break through, Spirit Hall will have three peerless experts at level 99. Now Spirit Hall will be even harder to deal with..."
