Lavish ranking rewards (1 / 2)

The ratings on the Sky Ranking List remained for a minute before changing again.

"Look! The Sky Ranking List changed again!"

"What will it be? The rewards, right?"

"I can't wait! I wonder what rewards the Sky Ranking List will give?"

"They're bound to be incredibly generous."

Across the Douluo Continent, countless beings perked up, their eyes burning as they gazed at the Golden Scroll high above.

Although they knew the rewards had nothing to do with them, they all wanted to know what the Sky Ranking List would offer.

Curiosity was human nature.

The rating text vanished from the Golden Scroll, replaced by two new lines of golden text.

[Reward: All Martial Souls gain ten thousand years of age; Soul Power increases by one level]

[Reward recipient: Yu Yuanzhen]

Silence.

Utter silence.

The entire Douluo Continent fell silent in an instant.

Countless beings stared at the sky ranking's rewards, stunned and shaken.

Even top powerhouses such as Bibi Dong, Tang Hao, and Sword Douluo were struck speechless for several seconds.

What did it mean for all Martial Souls to gain ten thousand years?

It meant all nine of Yu Yuanzhen's Spirit Rings would become ten-thousand-year rings.

If Yu Yuanzhen's ninth spirit ring was ninety thousand years old, he would gain a vivid red hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!

His first four rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—would become black, black, black, black.

Ten-thousand-year Spirit Skills were far more powerful than hundred-year or thousand-year ones!

And on top of that, he would gain a level of Soul Power!

Yu Yuanzhen's soul power was already at level ninety-five. One more level would take him straight to level ninety-six!

How astonishing was that?!

"Hahahaha! To think that I, Yu Yuanzhen, would receive such an opportunity at my age! Hahahaha! Heaven truly favors me!"

At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Yuanzhen roared with laughter, his face lit with wild joy.

Their eyes filled with envy, Yu Luomian and the others stepped forward to congratulate him:

"Congratulations, Sect Master! Congratulations!"

"With you reaching level ninety-six, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's place among the three upper sects will be even more secure! Two blessings at once—what wonderful news!"

Yu Yuanzhen could not contain the elation on his face.

His eyes blazed as he stared at the Sky Ranking List:

"The rewards should be handed out now, shouldn't they? Ten thousand years added to every spirit ring, and one more level of soul power!

"Once I reach level ninety-six, my lifespan will increase by a hundred years, securing our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's standing for another century!"

The Sky Ranking List trembled slightly, and a strand of golden light shot out of the Golden Scroll.

Then, beneath the envious and jealous gazes of countless beings, it descended upon the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

As Yu Luomian and the others watched enviously, the golden light poured into Yu Yuanzhen's body.

Then—

Boom!!!

A tremendous aura erupted from Yu Yuanzhen, surging toward the sky and sending Yu Luomian and the others flying with cries of alarm.

He had broken through to level ninety-six!

The wild joy on Yu Yuanzhen's face grew even more intense.

One Spirit Ring after another slowly emerged beneath his feet.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black.

Nine ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings!

Yu Luomian and the others, who had been blasted away, stared blankly in shock.

"Damn it!"

Martial Soul City, the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong clenched her fists, a trace of anger crossing her stunning face:

"That old dragon actually reached level ninety-six. Now my grand plan has become harder for no reason."

"There's no need to worry, Your Holiness. With the quality of your Martial Soul, you're certain to make the ranking."

Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "Even fifteenth place received such generous rewards. Once you make the ranking, yours will surely be even better than Yu Yuanzhen's. Your strength will increase even more dramatically."

At his words, Bibi Dong's expression eased slightly, and she nodded. "You're right. Why should I worry?"

With that, she raised her head, her gaze burning as she looked at the Golden Scroll high above:

"Fourteenth place should be next. I wonder where I'll rank, and what rewards I'll receive?"

The Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

The shock gradually faded from Qian Renxue's face as she gazed at the Sky Ranking List and murmured:

"To think even fifteenth place received such lavish rewards. Then how incredible will the rewards for my first place be?"

Anticipation filled Qian Renxue's face. "I hope there's something suitable for Yichen. I wouldn't mind gaining a little less Soul Power."

Beside her, Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo exchanged glances at those words, each seeing helplessness and a wry smile in the other's eyes.

It's over. The young mistress has fallen in love.

They gritted their teeth in resentment:

That Long Yichen is one lucky brat. He's only good-looking—what makes him worthy of the young mistress's affection?

Damn it, how could he possibly deserve her?!

Heaven Dou City, Long Yichen's Residence.

Long Yichen gazed at the Sky Ranking List and clicked his tongue:

"I didn't expect the rewards to be so generous. I wonder what I'll get when it's my turn. I hope it's something that can help me grow stronger faster, so I can get home sooner and spare my parents and little sister some suffering. Sigh..."

He sighed softly, almost seeing his parents and little sister searching desperately day and night, anxious and worried:

"Mom, Dad, little sister, wait for me. I'll definitely return to Earth."

Just then, the text on the Sky Ranking List disappeared, replaced by new words.

Long Yichen pushed aside his longing and looked over.

Countless beings across the Douluo Continent also looked up in unison, their eyes burning.

[TOP 14: Blazing Lion]

At the sight of this Martial Soul, countless beings across the Douluo Continent looked bewildered.

Wait, there's a Martial Soul like that on the Douluo Continent?

How come we've never heard of it?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi said in surprise, "How come I've never heard of this Martial Soul? Whose is it? It actually ranks above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?"

"He's Lion Douluo, the Fourth Offering, one of Martial Soul Hall's seven great attendants. He's from several generations before yours. It's normal that you haven't heard of him."

Sword Douluo spoke.

"Martial Soul Hall's Fourth Attendant, Lion Douluo? Is he strong?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"Very strong." Sword Douluo's face was grave as he said each word distinctly:

"His soul power is currently... level ninety-seven!"

"What?!" Ning Fengzhi blurted out in shock:

"Uncle Sword, you're not joking, are you? He's even stronger than you?"

Sword Douluo nodded. "That's right. He's from an older generation than even my father, and he's considerably older than me. But when I reach his age, my cultivation will definitely be higher than his!"

"That I believe." Ning Fengzhi nodded and looked up at the Sky Ranking List, his face still showing lingering apprehension:

"To think the appearance of this ranking would introduce me to another peerless powerhouse.

"I've only seen Martial Soul Hall's seven great Attendants mentioned in our sect's records. I never knew their exact levels or Martial Souls. Now I've finally learned something about them."

As he spoke, he sighed. "Martial Soul Hall's power is truly terrifying. No wonder every soul master on the Douluo Continent regards it as a sacred place.

"It's also no wonder they managed to force the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion back then."

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both remained silent. Martial Soul Hall's power was indeed terrifying—so terrifying that even their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect felt despair.

Over the years, ever since Bibi Dong became Supreme Pontiff, Martial Soul Hall's ambitions had continued to grow, posing an immense threat to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Yet they were powerless to do anything. They could only watch, not daring to openly break with it.

With a soft sigh, they raised their heads toward the Sky Ranking List.
