Hearing the soft snort, someone had presumably made a move.
Everyone in Spirit City looked up at the sky curtain, even Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Hao.
To their shock, the one who had acted was actually a deity!
Bibi Dong and Tang Hao knew all too well who this deity was. After all, their Divine Slaughter's Domains had come from him.
Seeing someone take action, Yu Xiaogang looked smug and declared confidently, "See? I told you paper could never wrap up a fire. A fake will always be a fake."
"One of Spirit Hall's Consecrated Elders must have been unable to stand watching any longer and struck without hesitation."
Tang Hao scoffed at Yu Xiaogang's words.
If the Asura God were a Consecrated Elder of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu and Spirit Hall would probably wake from their dreams laughing.
That was simply impossible!
If that were true, how could he take revenge?
He would never forget that Ah Yin had died because of Qian Xunji. Killing Qian Xunji had been nowhere near enough to vent the hatred in his heart!
When Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Hao saw that the Asura God had acted, they instantly realized that the thing in the sky was probably far from simple.
Tang Hao and Bibi Dong were immensely relieved. Fortunately, they had been cautious and had not let their itching hands drive them to attack, or the consequences would have been unpredictable.
Still, with the Asura God taking action, presumably the thing in the sky would be done for, no matter how formidable its origins.
But then something they had never expected happened!
The Asura God's attack actually failed to shatter the sky curtain. Forget shattering it-it did not even raise a single ripple.
Moreover, the light curtain reflected a ray of light into the starry sky, seemingly aimed straight at the Asura God!
"Aah!"
A shower of divine blood fell from the sky.
Panic gripped Tang Hao, Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu. Just what was that thing in the sky?
Not only had the Asura God failed to harm it in the slightest.
It had actually made the Asura God spill blood with a single strike.
They did not even know whether the Asura God was dead or alive.
Yet compared with the panic in Tang Hao, Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu's hearts, Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
It now seemed that the thing in the sky was not some trick of the Divine Realm, so there was no need to notify his lord.
It would be better to let his lord recover in peace.
Mount Lu.
Xu Jie was also observing the sky curtain. Seeing the Asura God attack it, he had only one thing to say:
The Asura God's guts really were plump and fat.
Even he would probably only be able to firmly gain the upper hand over the sky curtain after surviving the immortal ascension tribulation and attaining immortality.
As things stood, it would be fifty-fifty!
He just did not know what the sky curtain's appearance meant.
Spirit City, Douluo Continent.
Just as Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, Tang Hao, and the others began to panic, a voice devoid of all emotion resounded throughout the entire continent.
"I am the Sky Curtain System."
"The first attack warrants only a warning. Should any living being attack the sky curtain again, they will be erased outright!"
"Under ordinary circumstances, I will not take action against any of you or any faction upon my arrival."
"To you, I am an opportunity."
"I will compile rankings of the intelligent beings on the Douluo Continent and in its surrounding seas."
"The rankings are divided into reward rankings and entertainment rankings."
"All those who appear on reward rankings will receive rewards from me. These rewards include, but are not limited to, increased soul power, martial soul evolution, and opportunities to become gods."
"In short, every reward will be a heaven-sent opportunity for you. You will absolutely be able to use it; there is no possibility that you will not."
"Entertainment rankings offer no rewards. Simply enjoy them for amusement."
"The rankings will include, but are not limited to, the Factions Ranking, which ranks factions; the Powerhouses Ranking, which ranks powerhouses; the Heavenly Pride Ranking, which ranks exceptional talents; the Scumbag Ranking, which ranks scumbags; and the Celebrity Ranking, which ranks celebrities."
"Of these, the Factions Ranking, Powerhouses Ranking, Heavenly Pride Ranking, and Celebrity Ranking are reward rankings."
"The Scumbag Ranking is an entertainment ranking."
"New rankings will be added later."
"Living beings on the Douluo Continent and in its surrounding seas can enter the sky curtain chat channel to communicate by saying 'Sky Curtain System.'"
Mount Lu.
Xu Jie had naturally heard the Sky Curtain System's introduction, and he was now deeply troubled.
He felt that the Sky Curtain System had come to stir up trouble for him. He just wanted to cultivate immortality in peace!
But he was also curious. He had already reached the perfection of Mahayana, so he would definitely make the rankings. What would the Sky Curtain System reward him with then?
He had no need for increased soul power, martial soul evolution, or opportunities to become a god.
If the Sky Curtain System could not produce a reward that satisfied him, it could not blame him for coming to settle accounts.
"Master, is what the Sky Curtain System said true or false?" Big Yellow asked curiously.
"Big Yellow, it's absolutely genuine. Even if it's fake, I'll make it real!"
"Wonderful! Master, Big White and I will definitely make the rankings, right?" Big Yellow's eyes lit up as he asked. Anyone who passed up a free benefit was a bastard.
"You and Big White will definitely make them."
"If you and Big White don't, I'll have to have a proper word with the Sky Curtain System."
Spirit City, Douluo Continent.
After hearing the sky curtain's introduction, everyone's original worry and fear turned into pleasant surprise and excitement.
Qian Daoliu thought with certainty, Setting everything else aside, when the Factions Ranking and Powerhouses Ranking are compiled, I will definitely have a place.
When the Heavenly Pride Ranking is compiled, Xiao Xue will definitely take first place!
Xiao Xue has a God Level martial soul and level 20 innate soul power. If even she cannot claim the top of the Heavenly Pride Ranking, who can?
Tang Hao looked at Tang San, his eyes filled with pride.
Little San has twin martial souls and innate full soul power.
He will definitely claim the top of the Heavenly Pride Ranking.
My strength can also earn me a place on the Powerhouses Ranking.
Perhaps revenge is not a distant dream.
Bibi Dong was equally confident in herself.
I wonder whether the Heavenly Pride Ranking has an age limit. If it doesn't, my twin martial souls and innate full soul power will definitely earn me a place.
There will certainly be a place for me on the Powerhouses Ranking, too.
Since it ranks powerhouses, it surely cannot compare levels alone. It must also compare actual combat strength.
With my two Spider Emperor martial souls, I am no weaker than anyone.
The most excited person of all was Yu Xiaogang.
I can no longer pin any hopes on the Factions Ranking, Powerhouses Ranking, or Heavenly Pride Ranking.
The only one I can count on is the Celebrity Ranking.
Judging by its name, it concerns the influence of one's deeds. Having taught such an outstanding genius as Tang San should presumably be enough to get me onto the Celebrity Ranking.
As long as I make the Celebrity Ranking, I will definitely escape the predicament of being trapped at level 29.
Although Tang San is outstanding, not everyone necessarily knows me.
No, to make everyone know me, I must seize the initiative and speak in the sky curtain chat group.
Yu Xiaogang acted as soon as the thought struck him. After trying to call out "Sky Curtain System," he discovered that a small sky curtain had appeared in his field of vision.
He continued speaking to the small sky curtain.
[Yu Xiaogang: Hello, everyone. I am Yu Xiaogang, my disciple is Tang San, and people call me Grandmaster Yu.
I know astronomy above and geography below.
There is nothing in this world that I do not know.
Perhaps many of you do not know who Tang San is.
Tang San is one of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Once the Shrek Team defeats the Spirit Hall Team, you will know who Tang San is!]
[Hu Liena: What sort of trash is the Shrek Team, to dream of winning the championship?
Ridiculous!]
[Yan: Exactly. Shrek is trash. If they dare take the stage, watch me sweep them all aside alone!]
Star Dou Great Forest.
Di Tian had also heard the sky curtain's introduction.
He thought excitedly, Setting the other rankings aside, when it comes to the Powerhouses Ranking and Factions Ranking, our Soul Beast Clan will definitely take first place!
If the sky curtain's reward can directly heal my lord's injuries, the Soul Beast Clan will be able to rise completely!
The sky curtain's voice rang out once more.
"The first ranking, the Top Five Factions Ranking of the strongest factions, will now begin."
[Yu Xiaogang: The Top Five Factions Ranking of the strongest factions is beginning. Why not let this Grandmaster make some predictions and see whether I am right?
I will prove to you that I, Grandmaster Yu, have not earned my reputation for nothing!]
Before you continue
