The Heavenly Screen over the Douluo Continent section had not finished its tally.
Golden light surged once more, and a second profile card descended!
[Douluo Continent Section] [Sixteenth Strongest-Yu Yuanzhen] [Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon] [Affiliation: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan · Clan Head] [Soul Power Level: Level 95 Power Attack System Titled Douluo] [Soul Rings: Two yellow, two purple, five black] [Abilities: The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Douluo Continent's foremost beast martial soul! Blue scales covered its draconic body, entwined with purple lightning. A pair of thunder horns crowned its head, drawing upon the lightning of the nine heavens! With Martial Soul Possession, a half-dragon body thundered into being, its strength enough to split mountains, its claws enough to tear cities apart! Wherever blue lightning passed, mountains and rivers trembled, and every beast bowed its head!] [Yu Yuanzhen had ruled his clan for a hundred years. Man and dragon became one; with a single punch, a blue dragon phantom roared alongside his fist. Such was his Thunderous Might that none of his level dared face his edge!] [Signature Soul Skill: Ninth Soul Skill · True Dragon's Wrath, its roar shook the nine heavens] [Introduction: Head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, inheritor of the foremost beast martial soul, and the towering pinnacle of Douluo Continent's beast martial soul lineage!] [Reward: Soul power increased by one level, the ages of all nine rings doubled, bringing every ring to ten thousand years or more. Additionally, one ancient immortal herb-thunder dragon body-tempering ganoderma! Consuming it would temper the body with thunder marrow and strengthen draconic might. With diligent cultivation, reaching level 98 would be within future reach!]
Douluo Continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
A pillar of light descended from the Heavenly Screen, enveloping Gu Rong.
All nine rings around him shook in unison, their ages doubling.
Nine black ten-thousand-year rings manifested with a thunderous surge, circling him, heavy and profound as an abyss.
The Dragonblood Bonegrass landed in his palm, its body crimson-gold throughout, with faint dragon patterns flowing across it.
Before he even consumed it, his joints began faintly cracking, as though new bones were forming within his marrow.
"Good stuff... good stuff!"
Gu Rong grinned and laughed.
"These old bones of mine can be saved!"
After all, he had been stuck at this level for far too long.
His bone dragon cultivation had reached a dead end.
Now that he had this immortal herb, he finally had hope of climbing another step!
Chen Xin stood with a hand resting on his sword and offered a rare word of congratulations.
"Congratulations."
Ning Fengzhi clapped his hands and smiled.
"Congratulations, Elder Gu Rong! Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has finally made its mark on the Heavenly Screen!"
Gu Rong smiled and waved a hand.
"Not bad, not bad..."
"It's just that I couldn't beat that old fellow Yu Yuanzhen. Having him stand a head above me really sticks in my craw!"
Chen Xin did not even raise his eyelids.
"It doesn't matter."
"Right now, all we need is to avoid being outdone by those people from the Holy Spirit Continent."
Gu Rong nodded, unusually serious this time.
"Don't worry. Yu Xiaogang made a sound argument."
"When it comes to martial souls, their Holy Spirit Continent really is nothing special."
"That Lingxiao on the rankings has a soul power level of ninety-three, and her martial soul is a brain. Neither measures up to ours."
Chen Xin slowly nodded.
"Yes. There should be no mistake this time. Grandmaster's argument really does hold water."
"That Lingxiao of theirs falls short of us in both soul power level and martial soul. The only difference lies in soul tools!"
"We really can't compete with those things, but they're external aids, not true ability."
Ning Fengzhi let out a long breath, his eyes blazing.
"We can finally vent our anger. They've been pushing us around far too much!"
Gu Rong looked toward the Heavenly Screen, a fierce edge in his voice.
"We'll make them understand."
"When it comes to martial souls and soul power levels, we beat them!"
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the main hall.
A pillar of light thundered down from the Heavenly Screen, enveloping Yu Yuanzhen.
All nine rings around him resonated together, their ages doubling.
Nine black ten-thousand-year rings circled his draconic body, lightning coiling around them with sharp crackles!
The instant the thunder dragon body-tempering ganoderma sank into his palm, azure dragon scales spread up his arm, and his draconic might surged.
Boom!
Above the main hall, a blue dragon phantom actually condensed out of thin air, raising its head in a roar and lingering for a long time!
The elders below all bowed.
"Congratulations, Clan Head!"
Their voices rang out in perfect unison, their reverence deepening.
Yu Yuanzhen slowly withdrew his martial soul, stroked his arm where the dragon scales had yet to fade, and laughed aloud.
"Hahahaha-good! Good!"
"I'm in a splendid mood today!"
"The reward is excellent, and I even beat that old bag of bones. I'll have plenty to rub in his face next time we meet!"
"In a little while, I'll get to mock those bastards from the Holy Spirit Continent again! They actually called mine a mongrel dragon earlier. This time, I'll let them take a good look at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's power!"
Just then, the First Elder frowned slightly and spoke with hesitation.
"Clan Head... do you think the Holy Spirit Continent might... actually not be as weak as we imagine?"
Yu Yuanzhen waved a hand, his face full of dismissal.
"Didn't you see what Xiaogang said?"
"When it comes to soul tools and soul beasts, we admit we lost."
"But in martial souls and soul power levels, we certainly won't lose!"
"Besides, Xiaogang gave his reasoning. If they're really so strong in the path of soul masters, why would they bother researching soul tools?"
"A sound argument backed by evidence! Besides, that Lingxiao really is nothing special in either martial soul or soul power!"
The First Elder pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"...That's true..."
After a pause, he added quietly.
"But... they also explained that it was for ordinary people..."
Yu Yuanzhen scoffed.
"Ordinary people?"
"They make themselves sound so noble, but how could that be true in reality? Who could actually manage that? Could any of you?"
"I don't believe they can!"
Then he turned toward the Heavenly Screen, grinning and rubbing his hands together.
"I've already thought up my lines. I'm just waiting for Xiaogang to start the fight!"
Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong watched the Heavenly Screen, clapping her hands with delight.
"Grandpa Bone made the rankings!"
Yu Xiaogang also smiled faintly, his hands clasped behind his back, his bearing solemn and dignified.
As he saw it!
Wouldn't this crush those soul masters who only knew how to use soul tools?
Dai Mubai clenched his fist and forcefully exhaled a stale breath.
"It's finally our turn to hold our heads high!"
"Being pinned down and mocked by them all this time has been unbearable!"
Ma Hongjun nodded in agreement, his usual cheeky grin absent for once.
"Exactly. And we could hardly argue back, since we really did keep getting slapped in the face before!"
Yu Xiaogang swept his hand outward.
"I failed to think things through before, but that won't happen this time!"
"When you start trash-talking later, don't disgrace Douluo Continent!"
Tang San, meanwhile, stood to one side, deep in thought.
Teacher was right. Their soul power levels and martial souls really weren't up to par.
He acknowledged that much.
But soul tools really were worth learning.
And judging by the Heavenly Screen's descriptions, their soul tool technology was definitely beyond his mastery of hidden weapons.
His hidden weapons were good enough for blasting the fish in Douluo Continent's pond.
But compared with soul tools?
That would be an old man toying with a mischievous child.
Only this time, he was the child.
So he sincerely wanted to learn.
If he mastered methods like those, he would have another trump card when he took revenge on Spirit Hall in the future!
It seemed he really would have to visit the Holy Spirit Continent someday...
Not just for soul rings, but even more for soul tools!!
