[For this ninth-place comparison, the pace will accelerate!] [The original four rounds of comparison will be reduced to three!] [Round one-Faction Foundations!] [Round two-Core Members' Combat Strength and Conduct!] [Round three-the Original Future's Most Glorious Moment!] [The comparisons will begin in order shortly. Stay tuned!]
The Sky Screen's messages had only just ended.
Both worlds erupted once more:
"Wait, seriously? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is ninth?!"
"Why?! Everyone knows they're the last of the Upper Three Sects!"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only ranked tenth, and a support sect deserves to stand above them?!"
"Hurry up and start the comparison! Let's see just what makes the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect worthy!"
Cries of shock and doubt swept through every corner of both worlds. The vast majority refused to accept it.
Anime World.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Bang!!
Yu Yuanzhen slammed his palm against his chair's armrest and rose in fury:
"Absurd! What right does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have to rank above my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?!"
The elders exchanged looks, their faces filled with indignation and disbelief.
"The clan leader is right! In overall foundations and combat strength, how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possibly compare to us?!"
Yu Yuanzhen snorted heavily and swept his sleeve, his gaze fixed firmly on the Sky Screen as he said coldly:
"Let's see just what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has that lets them stand above my clan!"
Meanwhile.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect presented an entirely different scene.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong had long since gathered to watch the Sky Screen.
"Hahahaha! Well, Fengzhi? What do you think!"
Seeing their own sect on the rankings, Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged looks and burst into hearty laughter:
"Old Sword and I told you ages ago that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would definitely make the rankings!"
"We might not be near the top, but at least we aren't dead last! That old dragon Yu Yuanzhen must be going mad with rage!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, but his eyes were full of gravity:
"I just wonder whether we can beat the other world."
"And whether that scene of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's extermination will repeat itself in our sect?!"
The scene of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's extermination was still vivid before his eyes.
Since Spirit Hall dared to strike the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, why would they spare the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
"Fengzhi, you're worrying too much!"
Chen Xin stepped forward, his sword humming faintly:
"With Old Bones and me here, how would Spirit Hall dare touch our sect?!"
Gu Rong nodded repeatedly, his face full of disdain:
"If Spirit Hall dares come, they'll pay ten times the price they paid for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!!"
"Besides, have some confidence! As long as we defeat the other world and obtain the Sky Screen's rewards, our sect will only grow stronger!"
At those words, a little light returned to Ning Fengzhi's eyes:
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you make a good point. Let's keep watching!"
At the same time.
Spirit City, the Papal Palace.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei both looked surprised:
"Oh? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... actually ranked above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?!"
They knew the sect had two Super Douluos, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
But one must not forget that these rankings compared the "greatest potential," considering not just the present, but the future too!
Bibi Dong showed little reaction, a cold smile curling her lips:
"Heh, there's nothing surprising about it. Their sect master Ning Fengzhi is no ordinary man!"
"Not only has he secured Chen Xin and Gu Rong's unswerving loyalty, but he also cooperates closely with the Heaven Dou Empire!"
"How could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, arrogant from top to bottom, compare?!"
As she spoke, she paused, her expression suddenly darkening:
"But so what? Before my Spirit Hall, they're no different from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"Keep watching. Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also destined to be destroyed by my Spirit Hall!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei bowed in agreement, a vicious glint flashing in their eyes.
They knew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was on the list for the future Soul Hunting Operation Plan!
Suotuo City.
Shrek Academy.
The instant the Sky Screen announced ninth place-the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong froze briefly, then shouted, immensely vindicated:
"You all saw that, right? My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect made the rankings! Ninth place!!"
"Above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Now you know who really comes last among the Upper Three Sects!"
The scene fell deathly silent.
Apart from Zhu Zhuqing, everyone found it hard to believe.
"Teacher, this..."
Tang San turned toward Yu Xiaogang, somewhat stunned.
"No... impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"
Yu Xiaogang stood rooted to the spot, glaring at the Sky Screen as he shook his head with trembling lips:
"What right does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have to make the rankings? What right do they have to rank above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?!"
Ning Rongrong folded her arms and walked up to him with her chin raised, sneering:
"What right? The Sky Screen's certification! Your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is the real bottom of the Upper Three Sects!!"
"You were just swearing on your integrity that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had absolutely no chance of making the rankings! Oh, right, there's also our bet!"
"'Grandmaster' Yu, the results are out. Time to honor your bet. Kneel and kowtow to me in apology!!"
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically, looking worse than if he had eaten shit.
Especially as he felt the peculiar, contemptuous gazes everyone present cast his way.
It was just like when he had awakened his Luo Sanpao Martial Soul and suffered all the clan disciples' scorn.
"Urgh! Pfft!!!"
Rage assailing his heart, Yu Xiaogang spat out a mouthful of foul blood.
Tang San, standing beside him, caught it all over his face.
Then Yu Xiaogang swayed and collapsed to the ground.
"Teacher!"
Ignoring the foul blood covering his face, Tang San immediately crouched to support him.
Deprived of parental love since childhood, he had once sworn that a teacher for a day was a father for life!
Seeing his teacher in this state, he instantly flared with anger and glared fiercely at Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong had dared humiliate his teacher like this. She already had a reason to die!
But for the sake of their being fellow students, he temporarily suppressed his killing intent and said coldly:
"Ning Rongrong, don't you think you've gone too far?!"
Ning Rongrong had still been smiling, but those words immediately infuriated her:
"I've gone too far? He proposed the bet himself, and he personally agreed to the terms of winning and losing! How am I the one going too far?!"
Tang San refused to listen and immediately moved to argue further.
"Shut up!!"
Yu Xiaogang abruptly stood up, his eyes bloodshot as he panted like an ox:
"Putting the facts aside, are you entirely blameless, Ning Rongrong?!"
"Do you think I didn't know the Sky Screen's result? You refused to submit to the academy's discipline, and I didn't want to make things difficult for you, so I merely used this bet to give you a way to step down!"
"Everything I did was for your own good! Don't fail to recognize kindness!"
Ning Rongrong did not believe a word of this forced, hole-riddled argument.
But the others, who had always been dissatisfied with Ning Rongrong, immediately believed him and took his side:
"So Grandmaster knew all along! As expected of Grandmaster!"
"Ning Rongrong, did you hear that? Grandmaster was just giving you a way out. Know when to stop!"
Ning Rongrong trembled with rage, unable to speak for a long while.
Zhu Zhuqing, the only one who had not joined in, also furrowed her brows.
Yu Xiaogang had clearly made the bet himself, only to resort to specious arguments after losing.
She had never seen such a shameless person in this world!!
Seeing everyone take his side, Yu Xiaogang instantly regained his confidence. He pointed at Ning Rongrong, his eyes full of contempt:
"Besides, your sect only made the rankings by relying on outsiders' combat strength. Are Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo members of your own clan?!"
"To put it plainly, your sect's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has an unchangeable, fatal flaw. Your own clan will never produce a truly powerful expert!!"
