Under the gaze of countless eyes.
After a half-month wait, the fourth golden scroll slowly unfurled.
Because thirteen of the previously listed individuals had died, many people mistakenly believed the golden list was a death warrant from the King of Hell.
Therefore, when the fourth golden scroll was revealed, some were filled with anticipation, while others were filled with fear.
For those who were afraid, only in the long years to come would they understand how ridiculous their worries were.
As the scroll opened, the three dazzling golden words "Martial Soul Ranking" appeared.
Seeing these three golden words, Ling Yun knew this golden list had nothing to do with him.
The reason was simple: soul beasts didn't have martial souls; only humans could awaken them.
Of course, soul beasts that had transformed into humans also possessed martial souls. For example, Xiao Wu's martial soul was her true form, the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit.
Therefore, based on Xiao Wu's innate martial soul, she should be able to secure a spot on the Martial Soul Ranking.
However, Xiao Wu's current strength was probably only comparable to Tang San, who had just awakened with full soul power.
Even if she received a reward, it wouldn't benefit her greatly.
Ling Yun only hoped she could acquire a useful special skill.
The ones most thrilled about the emergence of the Martial Soul Ranking were, of course, the three upper sects.
Inside the Clear Sky Sect.
A half-month ago, the elders who had just received generous rewards were ecstatic this time.
The chief second elder even looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, speaking with high spirits.
"Hahaha, as expected, the era of my Clear Sky Sect is about to arrive! Even the heavens are helping our Clear Sky Sect to rise! Who can stop us!"
The fifth elder nodded in agreement, concurring.
"Among all the martial souls in the world, if our Clear Sky Hammer dares to claim second, absolutely no one dares to claim first. When it comes to dominating the future of the continent, who but our Clear Sky Sect can do it!"
The third elder slammed his fist heavily on a nearby boulder, cursing with indignation.
"Hmph, back then, when our elder brother left, Spirit Hall bullied our Clear Sky Sect, thinking we had no one. They pressed us step by step, trying to put our Clear Sky Sect to death! Our Clear Sky Sect had no choice but to close our mountain gates and go into seclusion! Now that our Clear Sky Sect has received the favor of the heavens, when our Clear Sky Sect emerges from the mountains, it will be the time for Spirit Hall to perish!"
Compared to their reactions, Tang Xiao was much more composed.
He knew the Clear Sky Sect had a powerful foundation.
With the quality of the Clear Sky Hammer, it could indeed rank in the top three among martial souls.
However, the Spirit Hall's foundation was not inferior to the Clear Sky Sect's; it was even stronger.
Even if his grandfather, Tang Chen, returned, the Clear Sky Sect might not be able to compare with the Spirit Hall.
While the Clear Sky Sect would grow stronger, the Spirit Hall would naturally do the same.
With both sides offsetting each other, the Spirit Hall would still hold the advantage.
He believed that the Clear Sky Sect would inevitably continue to remain hidden, accumulating strength, waiting for an opportunity to make a name for itself.
Inside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Patriarch Yu Yuanzhen and his brother Yu Luomian were currently extremely troubled.
Because the three elders were chattering incessantly.
As the saying goes, one woman equals 500 ducks.
Although the three elders weren't women, they were more annoying than 1,500 ducks.
Their faces were flushed with excitement, as if the rewards offered by the Martial Soul Ranking would make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan the number one power on the continent.
Before the three elders could finish their noise, Yu Yuanzhen glanced at the three of them as if they were idiots.
"You said the same thing last time, but what kind of foundation has Spirit Hall shown? And what kind of foundation has the Clear Sky Sect shown? Don't you three have any idea?"
Yu Yuanzhen picked up a freshly brewed cup of Longjing Tea from the table and took a small sip before continuing to ridicule them.
"If you have that kind of free time, I hope you three hurry up and break through to Title Douluo, don't let me be the only one holding things up!"
The three elders were immediately choked into silence, all three of them simultaneously glancing at the "Martial Soul Ranking" about to open in the sky, whistling to themselves.
Seeing the three elders get the short end of the stick, Yu Luomian looked on with pleasure, even snickering.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yuanzhen didn't give his own brother any face at all, berating him.
"What are you laughing at? You need to break through as soon as possible too, look at Tang Xiao and Tang Hao from the Clear Sky Sect! How can we be so far behind them when we're also one of the top three sects? It's because you youngsters can't endure hardship..."
Yu Luomian was scolded so severely that he was completely disoriented, his head buzzing.
He even suspected that it was because his elder brother was jealous that he had ruined his daughter Liu Erlong's engagement with his nephew Yu Xiaogang, which was why he was being so disrespectful.
Yu Luomian resentfully made a decision in his heart; next time he could find that little bastard Yu Xiaogang, he would definitely give him a beating.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo sat under a pavilion, gazing at the scroll slowly unfolding in the sky.
Bone Douluo looked at the three words "Martial Soul Ranking" and smiled, congratulating Ning Fengzhi.
"You weren't fortunate enough to be on the previous three golden lists, but this time it's the Martial Soul Ranking.
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, the number one auxiliary-type martial soul, you will certainly secure a place in the top ten. I congratulate you in advance."
Ning Fengzhi didn't show any excitement, but instead, heaved a heavy sigh.
"Sigh, Sword Douluo has been leading the search for the Three-Tailed Nether Tiger for half a month, but he still hasn't found it.
I'm wondering if I should have Sword Douluo return. I suspect that the two Title Douluo who fell in Spirit Hall were the ones leading the search for the Three-Tailed Nether Tiger."
Ning Fengzhi desperately wanted to obtain the Three-Tailed Nether Tiger as a guardian spirit beast for his sect.
But he was also afraid that Sword Douluo Chen Xin would follow in the footsteps of the two Title Douluo from Spirit Hall.
It wouldn't matter if Spirit Hall lost two Title Douluo. Even if they did, they would still be the most powerful force on the entire Douluo Continent.
But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was different. They only had two Title Douluo. If they lost one of them…
There was no doubt that it would greatly weaken the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's overall strength. He couldn't afford to take that risk.
Just as Ning Fengzhi was sighing, a line of golden text appeared on the scroll in the sky.
"The Martial Soul Ranking primarily assesses the quality and uniqueness of a martial soul, without considering external factors such as bloodlines, age, combat strength, and potential…"
"The rewards obtained by the martial souls on this ranking will be equally divided between the most powerful and most promising members of that family."
...
Ling Yun raised an eyebrow, a strange expression on his face.
The reward for the same martial soul was split equally between the strongest and most promising individuals in the family.
For example, Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Charming Rabbit could be on the Martial Soul Ranking, and she was currently the sole possessor of that martial soul.
Then there was that fellow Tang Hao. Because Tang Chen, the strongest in the Tang family, couldn't receive the reward, and Tang San hadn't yet awakened his martial soul.
Tang Hao also had the opportunity to receive both rewards. He just didn't know if the rewards would be stacked onto one person.
Or, would it be like before, where only one reward could be obtained from a single ranking, and the other would be cruelly taken back?
He grinned. He guessed the entire Clear Sky Sect was probably going crazy right now, right?
