[rouge ranking, 16th place!]
The image slowly brightened.
It was an antique-style loft: Moon Pavilion.
At the top floor, a beautiful woman in silver palace dress sat gracefully before a guqin, her delicate hands rising lightly.
She looked about thirty, the age when a woman is most alluring.
Time had left no mark upon her face; instead, it had settled into a temperament called elegance.
The moment she sat there, she was like a bright moon, impossible to profane, only to be quietly admired.
It was a nobility etched into the bone, a calm born of cultured refinement.
[Name: Tang Yuehua]
[Identity: Direct descendant of Clear Sky Sect / Dean of Heaven Dou Empire Court Etiquette Academy / Mistress of Moon Pavilion]
[Spirit: Aristocratic Ring]
[Appearance Score: 92]
[Temperament Score: 98]
[Comprehensive Evaluation:]
Unrivaled grace, innate nobility.
She was the cherished pearl of Clear Sky Sect, yet a mutated Spirit barred her from ever surpassing rank nine.
When God closes a door, He always opens a window somewhere.
Thanks to her special Noble Domain, she obtained a semi-Immortal Herb and has now smoothly broken through rank ten.
She is an unpolished jade washed clean of all ornament, the perfect model of aristocracy… When Tang Yuehua's name appeared, every noble circle in Heaven Dou City erupted!
"It's the Pavilion Mistress! It's actually her!"
"I knew it! With her bearing, of course she'd make the list!"
"A temperament score of 98?! My heavens, that's the ceiling of elegance!"
Many a prince and minister who secretly admired Tang Yuehua were now utterly captivated.
Meanwhile, on Sea God Island…
Tang San, depressed after failing the Sea God Test, trembled violently at the sight of the name.
"Aunt…"
Tang San's expression was complicated; Tang Yuehua was the only family he had left in Clear Sky Sect.
After receiving the reward that let her break through, Tang Yuehua had gone straight to the Heaven Dou Royal Hunting Ground to obtain her first spirit ring, then returned to Moon Pavilion.
Thus she was absent during the sect's annihilation and escaped disaster.
Spirit Hall's intelligence naturally knew Tang Yuehua was still alive.
But considering she was, after all, the Moon Pavilion Mistress with no real talent or combat strength, they left her alone.
Now this reward had paved a broad road straight to power for her!
[Ranking reward issued!]
[1 – Moon God Body (constitution): Greatly increases cultivation speed, making up for her late start; moon-attribute Spirit Abilities gain +50% might; eternal youth!]
[2 – Second Spirit Awakening, Clear Sky Silver Moon Ring: Spirit quality evolves to top-tier. Integrates Clear Sky Sect power; Domain range triples; gains attack system methods!]
[3 – spirit power instantly rises three ranks; all spirit rings gain 900 years.]
"What?!"
Heaven Dou City, top floor of Moon Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua, who had been sorrowfully plucking her qin, saw those lines; her usually calm eyes instantly brimmed with tears of excitement.
Ever since absorbing that semi-Immortal Herb and dispelling the curse of rank-nine spirit power, she had cultivated day and night.
Yet having missed the optimal age, she was only a newly one-ring Spirit Master.
Now Heaven had given her the capital to make up for lost time!
A silver moonbeam descended from the sky, enveloping Tang Yuehua.
The spirit power within her body began to surge wildly!
From rank twelve she jumped to rank fifteen!
At the same moment, the halo Spirit around her was suddenly etched with deep black runes—bearing the overbearing aura of Clear Sky Sect!
The once gentle Aristocratic Ring had become a weapon for both offense and defense!
"So this… is the feeling of power."
Tang Yuehua felt the strength coursing through her; two lines of clear tears rolled down her cheeks.
She wondered whether she would ever get the chance in this life to take revenge on Spirit Hall.
…Canglan Academy.
Lin Yuan watched the scene with a faint sigh.
"What a pity. Tang Yuehua belongs to Clear Sky Sect—she and Xiaoxue are mortal enemies. Otherwise, recruiting her as an etiquette teacher would be nice."
"Just picturing it is pleasing to the eye."
Dugu Yan said sourly at his side, "Teacher, the way you're looking at her—something feels off."
"She's quite a bit older than you. Don't think of grazing on old grass; we have plenty of fresh tender ones right here."
Lin Yuan glared at her. "Nonsense, Yan Yan. Since when did you become so outspoken?"
Dugu Yan muttered, "It's because you still haven't done anything with us. It can't be… you're not up to it, right?"
Lin Yuan: …Looks like he needed to find a chance to discipline these girls.
Perhaps it was adolescence—they were all getting restless… Above the heavenly screen, Tang Yuehua's silver radiance gradually faded.
Yet that noble, refined aftertaste still lingered in countless hearts.
"Sixteenth place is already a temperament goddess like Tang Yuehua."
"This rouge ranking's quality is ridiculously high!"
The crowd chattered, yet no one dared look away from the heavenly screen.
Afraid of missing the next heart-stirring moment.
Immediately, a clear phoenix cry rang through the nine heavens!
[rouge ranking, 15th place!]
In the image…
It was the boundless northern ice plain.
Amid the whirling wind and snow, a girl in ice-blue dress danced gracefully.
She had long, waterfall-like icy-blue hair that danced wildly; every strand seemed carved from crystal.
Her skin surpassed snow, even more translucent than the white landscape, exuding an other-worldly chill.
Most eye-catching was the huge Ice Phoenix phantom behind her!
As she danced, the Ice Phoenix spread its wings, scattering countless ice feathers across the sky.
She glanced back and smiled; the once cold face instantly bloomed like thawing ice, bringing all things to life.
That extreme purity intertwined with extreme cold created a breathtaking, contrasting beauty.

[Identity: Core disciple of Canglan Academy]
[Spirit: Condensed Water Flying Luan (Ultimate Ice · Ice Phoenix)!]
[Appearance Score: 94]
[Temperament Score: 93]
[Comprehensive Evaluation:]
Ice skin and jade bones, a snow sprite.
Under Canglan Academy's guidance she absorbed the tear of the ice god, and her constitution has been reborn.
Her beauty is pure and flawless, like a block of ten-thousand-year frost, willing to melt for only one person… "Boom!!!"
"Canglan Academy again!!"
"My heavens! Is Canglan Academy a goddess boot camp?!"
"Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan—and now Shui Binger!"
