"Ning Rongrong, don't go too far!"
Tang San stepped forward, shielding Yu Xiaogang.
"Even if my teacher loses the bet, how could someone of his seniority kneel to you?!"
Everyone except Zhu Zhuqing chimed in.
They all accused Ning Rongrong of being far too overbearing and unreasonable.
"San, don't worry. Your teacher cannot possibly lose!"
Yu Xiaogang stopped Tang San, his face full of unwavering confidence.
"Ning Rongrong, if you lose, put away that rotten princess attitude and obediently accept the academy's arrangements!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth in defiance and snapped:
"Yu Xiaogang, just wait until you lose and have to kneel and kowtow to me!"
Yu Xiaogang was about to retort, but Flender interrupted him.
"Xiaogang, there's no need to waste words on her. Once the Sky Screen reveals the rankings, everything will be proven!"
Tang San nodded in agreement, then changed the subject.
"Teacher, with your knowledge, can you predict the order of this ranking?!"
At those words, everyone looked over curiously.
"Of course! I, the Grandmaster, know every secret on the continent!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded without hesitation, once again putting on an air of knowing everything.
"Taking everything into account, the top two are unquestionably the two great empires, followed by Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects!"
"The Clear Sky Sect leads the Upper Three Sects, but after suffering devastating losses and sealing itself off back then, its position naturally passed to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Speaking of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the clan he had come from, a measure of pride rose in his heart.
"So the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will definitely rank in the top four, above the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
Finally, Yu Xiaogang glanced sideways at Ning Rongrong and deliberately raised his voice.
"In short, among these six great powers, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a support sect, is definitely the weakest!"
Everyone nodded repeatedly, finding his analysis reasonable.
Ning Rongrong secretly gritted her teeth, unconvinced.
Her sect still had Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone!
What could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the badly battered Clear Sky Sect possibly compare with?!
No matter what, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be in the top five!
Something occurred to Xiao Wu then, and she asked curiously:
"What about the Manga World in that other spacetime? If we're being compared, could there be some very powerful forces over there too?!"
Yu Xiaogang dismissed the idea.
"According to the records, our world gave birth to two gods twenty thousand years ago! Did the Manga World? It surely isn't worth mentioning!"
But he had barely finished speaking.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had remained silent all this time, could not help speaking up.
"Since the Sky Screen can compare the two worlds side by side, the Manga World must have something exceptional about it. We'd better not jump to conclusions."
Feeling his authority challenged, Yu Xiaogang immediately pointed at her and snorted.
"Ignorant child, what do you know? Our Anime World is the strongest!!"
Tang San immediately echoed him, his gaze firm.
"Exactly! Teacher is the continent's foremost Theoretical Grandmaster. I believe his analysis!"
The others all voiced their agreement, Dai Mubai included.
After all, ever since Zhu Zhuqing had enrolled, she had acted aloof and ignored him, which he had resented all along.
Getting to use the Grandmaster to put her down now suited him perfectly.
Listening from the side, Ning Rongrong kept rolling her eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing pressed her lips together and said no more.
She merely turned her gaze toward the Sky Screen overhead, waiting for the rankings to be revealed.
Dai Mubai's behavior just now had also stirred a measure of aversion in her heart.
Meanwhile, not far away.
High in a towering tree thick with foliage.
Dressed in black robes, Tang Hao hid there, observing.
"Heh, a ranking of the forces with the greatest potential?"
As he watched the Sky Screen, a gleam surfaced in his murky eyes.
Over these years, besides constantly remaining hidden to protect San.
He had also learned quite a bit about the Clear Sky Sect's recent circumstances through his younger sister, Tang Yuehua.
Although the sect had suffered devastating losses and sealed itself off back then, its elders had devoted themselves to arduous cultivation, breaking through to Titled Douluo one after another.
Now, the sect had five Titled Douluo presiding over it, surpassing even its former strength!
If his grandfather Tang Chen was still around, then with himself included, that would make a full seven Titled Douluo!
And if San were added too...
At that thought, Tang Hao took out his wine gourd and gulped down a mouthful, exclaiming excitedly:
"With San's talent, he'll definitely become a Titled Douluo someday too. Once I bring him back to acknowledge his ancestors and rejoin the sect, that'll make eight Titled Douluo!"
"The two great empires? Spirit Hall? They aren't worth a damn!!"
"The Clear Sky Sect is certain to claim a place in this ranking's top three!"
Since the arrival of the Cross-Time Comparison Sky Screen.
Only the short span of two and a half incense sticks had passed.
In both the comic and Anime World, every living being had stopped what they were doing.
They quietly raised their heads toward that vast expanse of golden light in the heavens, waiting for the rankings to be revealed.
All wanted to know whether the rankings would match their expectations, and what sort of forces existed in the other spacetime.
At last.
After a thunderous boom high overhead.
Golden light instantly surged and churned across the Sky Screen.
Everyone's heart clenched.
Here it comes!
The rankings are being revealed!
The original, divinely imbued characters shifted and reassembled into new lines of text.
At the same time, that ancient voice rang out in the mind of every living being:
[Cross-Time Comparison Sky Screen!] [Top Ten Human Factions with the Greatest Potential!] [Anime World, tenth place: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!] [Manga World, tenth place: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!] [Next, the two forces will be compared across various categories and given an overall evaluation and a final verdict determining the winner and loser!]
The lines blazed with dazzling golden light, so piercing that people could barely keep their eyes open.
After a brief, deathly silence, both spacetime worlds boiled over completely.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... tenth place?!!"
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was one of the Upper Three Sects!
Across the entire continent, it stood second only to the two great empires and Spirit Hall!
"Wait, two Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clans?!"
"There's one in the other spacetime too? Am I seeing things?!"
For a moment, every living being in both spacetime worlds was dumbfounded.
Not only were they shocked by the ranking, but they also found the other spacetime utterly inconceivable.
Could these two spacetime worlds be the parallel universes of legend?!
Anime World.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Clan leader Yu Yuanzhen had already summoned the elders to gather before the main hall and watch.
They had all been confident that their clan stood second only to the two great empires and Spirit Hall.
At the very least, they would rank in the top four!!
But when they saw the Sky Screen announce tenth place, everyone felt as though lightning had struck them.
Not even fourth from the bottom, but among the bottom four!
The clan's ten thousand years of pride seemed to shatter at that moment!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"
The elders trembled with shock, pointing at the Sky Screen and roaring in defiance:
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a legacy spanning ten thousand years and possesses the world's greatest Beast Martial Soul! Our fame is illustrious; there is no one who doesn't know us!"
"Ever since the Clear Sky Sect suffered devastating losses and sealed itself off, our clan has taken its place at the head of the Upper Three Sects! How could we rank a mere tenth? Dead last?!!"
"And how can the other world have an identical Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan too?!"
Yu Yuanzhen flew into a rage on the spot, his voice like rolling thunder:
"Such insolence! My magnificent clan, the greatest in the world, ranked at the very bottom?!"
"This Sky Screen's origins are unknown, yet it dares slander and humiliate my clan like this! Watch me destroy it!"
As his words fell, his Soul Power as a rank ninety-five Super Douluo erupted without restraint.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul possessed him, his draconic eyes widened in fury, and lightning flashed in and out as he prepared to attack the Sky Screen.
"Big brother, calm down!!"
The chief elder, Yu Luomian, remained relatively rational and hurriedly stopped him, saying urgently:
"According to the Sky Screen's introduction, forces from the entire world will be ranked. Perhaps beyond our Douluo Continent, there are other unknown continents and forces even stronger than ours!"
"Besides, the other two of the Upper Three Sects are definitely inferior to us. At least our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan made the list. They surely aren't even qualified to appear on it!"
