TOP2 (1 / 2)

Bo Saixi flew down and silently looked at the seven grievously wounded figures lying unconscious on the ground.

She sighed softly and said to the Sea God Island experts who had rushed over at the commotion:

"Take them away for treatment. Also, warn all the Sea God's people not to attack the Sky Ranking List."

Looking at the seven Sacred Pillar Douluos' wretched state, the Sea God Island experts swallowed hard. They nodded without hesitation and hurriedly carried them away.

Bo Saixi raised her head to look at the Sky Ranking List.

"To grievously wound seven Titled Douluos in an instant—even I couldn't do that. Is this truly a divine miracle...?"

Just then, she saw the evaluation on the Sky Ranking List disappear, replaced by a new line of text.

[Rating: ten stars]

Countless beings across the Douluo Continent watched without the slightest surprise on their faces.

They were beside themselves with excitement.

"There it is!!!"

"The first Martial Soul with a full-star rating!!!"

"I knew a God-Level Martial Soul would definitely receive a full-star rating. Sure enough!"

"The reward should be next."

Beings across the Douluo Continent looked up at the sky.

The rating remained on the Sky Ranking List for one minute before disappearing, and two new lines of text emerged.

[Reward: all soul ring ages increased by 130,000 years; soul power raised to the peak of mortal beings]

[Reward recipient: Bo Saixi]

Countless beings across the Douluo Continent were utterly unfamiliar with the name Bo Saixi. They had never heard it before and looked completely bewildered.

But to the people of Sea God Island and other worshippers of the Sea God, her name thundered in their ears.

These worshippers of the Sea God erupted in deafening cheers, celebrating Bo Saixi's generous reward.

Bo Saixi returned once more to Sea God Island's highest peak and gazed out over the sea.

The Sky Ranking List trembled slightly. A strand of golden light flew out and entered her body.

The instant the golden light entered her, she felt the quality of her Soul Power undergoing an astonishing transformation.

This time, Bo Saixi could no longer maintain her composure. Shock spread across her face.

"This... this reward can actually raise my strength so much further? Unbelievable..."

She had thought she had already reached the limit of what a mortal being could attain. After all, she had not advanced even an inch in many years, no matter how she cultivated.

Yet, to her astonishment, she could still improve. This simply exceeded her understanding.

She looked down. All nine Spirit Rings beneath her feet had transformed into scarlet hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings.

Bo Saixi murmured to herself:

"I thought only divine trials could increase soul ring ages. I never imagined the Sky Ranking List could do it too."

She looked at the Sky Ranking List.

"Could you be a divine trial bestowed by the Deity, granting rewards to anyone who makes the list? These rewards come far too easily, though."

She thought of how much hardship she had endured back then before finally passing the Sea God's divine trials.

Even the rewards had fallen far short of the bounty granted by the Sky Ranking List.

Suddenly, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

She looked up at the sky, watching the words on the Sky Ranking List slowly fade away as a new line emerged.

Countless beings across the Douluo Continent focused intently, their eyes fixed on the Sky Ranking List.

"Second place is about to appear. What Martial Soul will it be?"

Qian Daoliu and the other six Enshrined stared fixedly at the Sky Ranking List.

"Second place will be either the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul or the Martial Soul of that world's greatest ranged attacker. Which one will it be?"

Bibi Dong also kept her eyes fixed on the Sky Ranking List.

"The Martial Soul of that world's greatest ranged attacker wasn't third, so it can only be second or first."

"I hope that person's Soul Power isn't Level 99. Otherwise, once they receive their reward and reach the Peak of Mortal Beings as well, even I will have trouble taking them down, let alone forcing them to submit."

Outside Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue stared at the Sky Ranking List, her delicate hands clenched.

"Who will take second place?"

Under the gaze of countless onlookers, the new line of text fully appeared.

[TOP2: Six-Winged Angel]

"Whoa—!!!"

An uproar swept across the Douluo Continent.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, dumbstruck.

"Heavens! The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul only took second place! Just how terrifying must the Martial Soul in first place be?"

"Now I'm looking forward even more to seeing what Martial Soul took first place."

"Me too. I really want to see the evaluation of the first Martial Soul, and whether its rating can surpass ten stars and reach eleven."

"That shouldn't be possible, right? Ten stars should be the maximum. There shouldn't be any Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent that exceeds ten stars. After all, even a God-Level Martial Soul only received ten."

The Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu stared blankly at the Sky Ranking List, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others also looked at the Sky Ranking List in disbelief.

"Second... the mighty Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul only ranked second!"

"Just what is the Martial Soul in first place, to stand a head above the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?"

Qian Daoliu withdrew his gaze and let out a wistful sigh.

"I never imagined there was a Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent stronger than the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul..."

As a follower of the Angel God, his faith in her ran deeper than ordinary people could understand. In his heart, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul should have been the strongest Martial Soul.

But now, the Sky Ranking List told him that the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul could only rank second. The blow was so tremendous that he could not accept it for the moment.

Before the Papal Hall.

"There's actually a Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent stronger than the Six-Winged Angel?!"

Bibi Dong's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the Sky Ranking List. Then her expression suddenly darkened.

"The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is second, so first place belongs to that world's greatest ranged attacker. No wonder they could surpass Light Feather Douluo.

"This is a little troublesome. I hope that person's Soul Power is low. Otherwise, how am I supposed to take them down?"

"If the two great empires win that person over, won't my grand plan as Supreme Pontiff face a serious obstacle?"

This was no alarmist talk.

As an expert standing at the Peak of Mortal Beings, Bibi Dong knew all too well how terrifying a powerful ranged attacker could be.

If that person's Soul Power reached Level 99—no, even if it was only Level 97—with the amplification of a Martial Soul surpassing the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, they could threaten a Level 99 expert.

If they reached Level 99, even she, a Demigod, would undoubtedly face mortal danger!

Thus, if that person's Soul Power reached Level 99 and they sided with the two great empires, her goal of unifying the Douluo Continent would forever remain out of reach!

Bibi Dong's grip on her scepter tightened involuntarily, her knuckles turning white.

"I hope that person's Soul Power isn't above Level 96."

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the Sky Ranking List, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

"I never imagined the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul would only rank second. Inconceivable. There's actually a Martial Soul in this world stronger than the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

"Most importantly, I haven't the slightest clue what it is!"

Tang San and the others also watched the Sky Ranking List in silence, unable to speak for a long time.

Hidden in the shadows, Tang Hao stared at the Sky Ranking List with wide, shocked eyes.

Having fought Qian Xunji all those years ago, he knew all too well how powerful the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was.

Back then, he had unleashed his ultimate technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer, and even detonated his hundred thousand year Spirit Ring before he could grievously wound Qian Xunji. Even then, he had not killed him outright.

At the time, Qian Xunji's Soul Power had only been level 95.

Tang Hao clenched his fists.

"Just what is the Martial Soul in first place, to be even stronger than the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?"

He raised his head toward the sky and stared fixedly at the Sky Ranking List, waiting for first place to be revealed.
