Chapter 3: Haotian Sect Misses Out on the Top Three, Tang Xiao Tears Up!
The Heavenly Ranking lists ten top powers.
Among the last four, besides the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan (the family with the number one beast spirit in the world) and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School , there are even families possessing divine beast spirit bloodlines.
One can imagine how prestigious this Heavenly Ranking is. Inside the Spirit Hall's Hall of Offerings. The seven elders simultaneously gazed at the sky.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the elder beside him with astonishment and asked, "Elder, since the Red Dust Clan and the Xuanming Sect both possess divine beast bloodline spirits, why are they ranked so low on the Heavenly Ranking?"
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment and said, "Divine beast bloodlines are extremely rare. Even if they possess this power, their families must have relatively few members, or perhaps their spirits have some flaws."
Hearing this, the other six nodded in agreement.
Although Qian Daoliu had never met these two families, he had traveled the continent for many years and had his own considerations and experience.
If these two families were truly powerful, they wouldn't be completely unaware of any rumors about them.
"Then...won't they affect what we're doing?" Qianjun Douluo suddenly spoke, and the hall fell silent.
Everyone exchanged glances, then looked at Qian Daoliu.
After a moment's thought, he shook his head slightly, saying calmly, "Since these families have chosen to live in seclusion, they shouldn't affect us. We don't need to pay them any attention."
"I'd like to see which forces haven't yet been publicly identified on the Heavenly Ranking?"
In front of the Clear Sky Sect, seeing the rankings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Rex, all six elders except Tang Xiao showed disdain.
Although both were among the top three sects, the Clear Sky Sect disciples' martial souls were all genuine Clear Sky Hammers, truly the number one weapon martial soul in the world.
Coupled with the Clear Sky Hammer's exploding ring technique, they had long disliked being ranked alongside the two sects.
The Fifth Elder glanced at the list, snorted coldly, and said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are only ranked at the bottom, truly a disgrace to our three upper sects!"
The Sixth Elder nodded in agreement, saying, "How can these two sects compare to our Clear Sky Sect?"
The Third Elder also chimed in, "If our Clear Sky Sect ranks among the top three this time and receives the Heavenly Ranking reward, we will definitely show them the might of our Clear Sky Sect in the future!"
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Emperor Xue Ye's expression became somewhat unnatural.
The two major sects supported by the empire were only ranked at the bottom of the Heavenly Ranking, so how could they possibly contend with the Spirit Hall?
At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye could only place his hopes on the Clear Sky Sect.
If the Clear Sky Sect could rank in the top three and receive the Heavenly Ranking reward, they would surely emerge from seclusion, and then their Heaven Dou Empire would have the power to confront the Spirit Hall.
"Qinghe, do you think the Clear Sky Sect can enter the top three?" Emperor Xue Ye asked without changing his expression.
Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered slightly, and he calmly said, "Reporting to Father, there are many hidden sects, and I'm afraid there are even sects stronger than the Haotian Sect."
As soon as Xue Qinghe finished speaking, the Heavenly Ranking changed again, revealing the subsequent rankings.
[Sixth on the Heavenly Ranking: Haotian Sect!]
[The Haotian Hammer is the number one weapon spirit in the world; one of the hidden sects!]
[Fifth on the Heavenly Ranking: Body Sect!]
[The true number one hidden sect on the continent, whose members all possess Body Spirit Martial Souls, with a unique cultivation method, allowing Body Spirit Martial Souls to advance again!]
[Body Spirit Sect, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking!]
The revelation of the sixth and fifth places on the Heavenly Ranking this time caused an uproar.
That's the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world! Even the former Pope of the Spirit Hall died under the Clear Sky Hammer, yet he could only rank sixth!?
Not to mention the Body Spirit Sect, ranked fifth.
If the Heavenly Ranking hadn't revealed it, how would soul masters know that besides beast and weapon spirit spirits, Body Spirit Martial Souls also exist?
At this moment, those who couldn't accept this result the most were naturally the members of the Clear Sky Sect!
When Tang Xiao and the others saw the results of the Heavenly Ranking, they froze on the spot.
Especially those elders who had just spoken rudely, they were shocked and speechless, their faces twisted in disbelief. The Clear Sky Sect, with seven Title Douluo presiding over it, could only rank sixth on the Heavenly Ranking.
Without ranking in the top three, they wouldn't receive the Heavenly Ranking rewards, and thus would lose the strength to fight against the Spirit Hall.
If the Spirit Hall were to receive the rewards bestowed by the Heavenly Ranking, when would their Clear Sky Sect be able to emerge again? When would they be able to avenge the blood feud of 20 years ago?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiao looked up to the sky and roared, tears streaming down his face, "Is it truly that the heavens are jealous of my Clear Sky Sect!?"
Inside Shrek Academy, when Tang San and the others saw the forces revealed on the ranking list, they were all shocked.
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Teacher, how does the Body Sect's martial soul cultivate, and how can it be called an advancement?"
"And what about the divine beast bloodline martial souls? How many martial souls in the world possess divine beast bloodlines?"
Hearing Tang San's questions, Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened slightly.
Although he considered himself a master, he knew nothing about these hidden sects revealed on the Heavenly Ranking, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer Tang San's questions.
"His original spirit is unique, something even your teacher has never heard of before. This advancement must be a unique cultivation method of their sect," Yu Xiaogang replied vaguely, leaving Tang San somewhat dissatisfied.
It wasn't until the Heavenly Ranking was revealed that he learned of spirits with divine beast bloodlines.
Yu Xiaogang's often-quoted saying, "There are no useless spirits, only useless spirit masters," seemed more like a joke.
A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.
If he weren't a legendary twin spirit master, would this master have accepted him as a disciple?
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, his gaze fixed intently on the Heavenly Ranking, anticipating the power rankings.
He had originally accepted Tang San to use this twin spirit master to establish his own reputation and prove his worth to his family.
Learning that Tang San's husband was Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang felt even more confident.
The Clear Sky Sect was known as the head of the three upper sects; even though Tang Hao had been expelled, his strength was not to be underestimated.
Now that the Heavenly Ranking has revealed even more powerful forces, Yu Xiaogang is pondering whether to take this opportunity to approach those sects. This would not only prove his knowledge but also ensure his safety.
Not far away, Dai Mubai clenched his fists, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Six forces have already been revealed on the Heavenly Ranking, but none of them are within the Star Luo Empire's borders?
If he has a chance to seize the throne in the future, these forces will inevitably threaten the Star Luo Empire's safety!
On the other hand, Zhu Zhuqing has become more hopeful about the top ranks of the Heavenly Ranking.
If a powerful force is not afraid of the Star Luo Empire and can help her become stronger, would she stoop to the lowly Shrek Academy?
With everyone's thoughts differing, the Heavenly Ranking shifted once more.
