Chapter 4 The Spirit Hall Ranks Second, Yu Xiaogang Gets a Slap in the Face!
[Fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, the City of Slaughter!]
[A paradise for the fallen, devoid of worldly laws and morals, where strength reigns supreme!]
[Here, one can obtain the method to acquire the God of Slaughter Domain and inherit the divine position of the Asura God!]
[The City of Slaughter deserves fourth place on the Heavenly Ranking!]
The City of Slaughter is hardly a secret on the continent.
Besides those who have committed heinous crimes in various empires and seek survival there, many Soul Masters flock to it.
It's all because of the legendary God of Slaughter Domain!
Currently, there are very few people on the continent who possess the God of Slaughter Domain.
One of them is none other than Her Majesty Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Inside the Papal Palace, when Bibi Dong heard the Heavenly Ranking's message about the City of Slaughter, her cold and noble face remained calm.
Even though the City of Slaughter is a place left by the gods, she showed no fear.
The City of Slaughter had long been influenced by the Rakshasa God and posed no threat to the Spirit Hall or the continent.
Even those who wanted to try their luck in the City of Slaughter knew that obtaining the Asura God's inheritance, let alone passing through the Hell Road, was a pipe dream.
After the Heavenly Ranking revealed the inner workings of the City of Slaughter, a portion of the Soul Masters on the continent were abuzz.
Although the City of Slaughter was fraught with danger, it held genuine divine positions! If one were fortunate enough to gain some benefits, they could make a name for themselves on the continent.
After this battle, even more Soul Masters would surely flock to the City of Slaughter.
Inside Shrek Academy, when Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others saw the Heavenly Ranking's description of the City of Slaughter, their eyes widened, and they gazed excitedly at the sky.
Clearly, everyone felt a yearning for the City of Slaughter. Those who could enter Shrek Academy were all young geniuses, the cream of the crop among their peers, yet they were like dust before the inheritance of divine positions.
If they break through to the Soul Saint realm, the true watershed will appear.
Even if they can't obtain the divine inheritance by going to the City of Slaughter, gaining additional domain abilities would be a windfall for them.
Yu Xiaogang saw the burning desire in Tang San and the others' eyes. He coughed and said heavily, "Although the City of Slaughter contains treasures, it is also fraught with danger."
"Leaving aside whether anyone can obtain that elusive divine inheritance, since the City of Slaughter appeared, very few people have come out alive."
"So no matter what, you must not have any designs on the City of Slaughter, understand?"
"..."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others exchanged glances, reluctantly lowering their heads without replying.
LThe allure of a divine position is incomparable to ordinary benefits.
After all, you, Yu Xiaogang, are just a teacher from a small academy!
A shadow quickly flashed across Tang San's eyes.
He was determined to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain, so he needed to act obediently for now. After a moment's thought, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yu Xiaogang and said, "Please rest assured, Master, this disciple understands."
Apart from Tang San, the others remained silent.
Perhaps the City of Slaughter was indeed too dangerous, but judging from the current situation, the forces that could rank in the top three of the Heavenly Ranking probably all possessed divine lineages!
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi glanced deeply at the Heavenly Ranking and couldn't help but sigh. He said to Chen Xin, "Uncle Jian, we know the strength of the Spirit Hall. I'm afraid they will definitely be among the top three on this Heavenly Ranking."
Chen Xin frowned slightly and said, "The Spirit Hall already has extremely high prestige on the continent. This time, after the Heavenly Ranking, I'm afraid even more Soul Masters will join."
Ning Fengzhi was very afraid of the Spirit Hall.
If it weren't for the fact that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had allies with the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Blue Palace Tyrannosaurus Rex, they would have been eliminated by the Spirit Hall long ago.
After the Spirit Hall receives the Heavenly Gift Reward, how will the situation on the continent change?
Gu Rong pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Feng Zhi, the top three on the Heavenly Ranking aren't all Spirit Hall. If we can win over the other two major forces, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will still have a chance."
Gu Rong's words brought the two back to their senses.
Ning Feng Zhi suddenly realized, "That's right, as long as another major force among the top three on the Heavenly Ranking becomes an ally, the Spirit Hall will have to think twice before trying to harm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
At the same time, inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xue Ye was also telling Xue Qinghe, who was disguised as Qian Renxue, this same idea.
[Third place on the Heavenly Ranking, Sea God Temple!]
[The land where the Sea God's divine position is inherited, possessing top-tier experts and numerous ocean spirit beasts as guardians!]
[Note: As a land left by the Sea God, the Sea God Temple does not retain useless spirit masters. Due to the Sea God's trials, many spirit masters have died, making the Sea God Temple's combat strength relatively weak. After consideration by the Heavenly Ranking, it is ranked third!]
"They even managed to expose the secrets of the Sea God's Temple?"
Jiang Che looked up at the sky, genuinely surprised.
The Soul Masters on land knew very little about Sea God Island, let alone the Sea God's Trials.
Jiang Che's eyes flickered, a smile appearing on his handsome face.
When the people on the mainland saw this, they were all shocked.
There were countless Soul Masters with useless martial souls on the mainland; if these people lived on Sea God Island, they wouldn't even have the right to survive!
Inside Shrek Academy, when Tang San and the others saw the information about the Sea God's Temple, their gazes towards Yu Xiaogang became somewhat strange.
In the past few days, Yu Xiaogang had frequently told the Seven Devils, "There are no useless Soul Masters, only useless people."
But even the Sea God's Inheritance Land couldn't tolerate Soul Masters with useless martial souls. If Yu Xiaogang's words were spoken in the Sea God's Temple, they probably wouldn't even survive.
Yu Xiaogang's gaze swept over the crowd, his face calm as he said, "Children, I know what you're thinking, but don't forget!"
"Sea Soul Masters are vastly different from land Soul Masters. Our understanding of the ocean is less than one-tenth or one-twelfth, so we can't generalize!"
Although Yu Xiaogang was considered useless, he had traveled the continent in his youth, and his knowledge was naturally far greater than these students'.
Flander stood not far away, his gaze coldly fixed on the Shrek Seven Devils.
Yu Xiaogang was his own brother; if he were to be humiliated by these students today, he would rather drive them out than compromise his brother's dignity.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Dai Mubai and the others were somewhat convinced, but they also began to doubt his title of Grandmaster.
Yu Xiaogang exhaled and continued, "According to my theory, the Spirit Hall is undoubtedly the strongest on the continent! The second place on the Heavenly Ranking is probably still a hidden sect!" As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, the Heavenly Ranking changed again, and the Shrek teachers and students all looked up at the sky.
[Second place on the Heavenly Ranking: Spirit Hall!]
[The land of the Angel God's inheritance, the aspiration of countless Soul Masters across the continent!]
[The hall houses numerous top-tier experts!]
[The Spirit Hall should be ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking!]
Both are lands of divine inheritance, yet the Heavenly Ranking places the Spirit Hall as a place of longing for countless Soul Masters.
This clearly demonstrates the vast difference in scale and prestige between the Spirit Hall and the Sea God Temple.
