Chapter 12 The grass on the grave is two meters high, the Dragon Staff is on the list!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Hahahaha!"
A burst of triumphant laughter suddenly erupted from Gu Rong's mouth, breaking the tranquility of the sect.
He put his hands on his hips, almost floating, and winked at Chen Xin beside him with a smug look: "Old Swordsman, did you see that? Did you see that! I'm on the list! Your grandpa Bone is on the list! Ranked seventeenth!"
"Oh my, that's two places higher than the ranking of the number one beast martial soul on a certain continent. I wonder if Yu Yuanzhen will be furious?"
"Hmph! Old Bone! You're only seventeenth, what's there to be proud of? Is my Seven Kill Sword weaker than yours?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Gu Rong with a smile on his face and said sincerely: "Congratulations Uncle Bone, it is the supreme honor of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to be on the list!"
Chen Xin, who was as unchanging as ice on his face, also showed a rare, very faint smile.
"You just made the list a little earlier, what's there to be so proud of? A mere seventeenth!"
Chen Xin was happy for his old friend, but still couldn't hold back his words.
"Hey, you old swordsman, you're just jealous!" Gu Rong didn't care at all, "If you're so capable, why don't you make it too! If you can rank ahead of me, I'll avoid you from now on!"
Although Gu Rong knew that Chen Xin's ranking was definitely above his, he still stubbornly insisted.
Just as the two were arguing, a golden pillar of light, even brighter than Yu Yuanzhen's earlier, descended from the sky and enveloped Gu Rong! A surge of immense energy poured into his body!
Gu Rong felt a jolt throughout his body, and the bottleneck that had kept him stuck at the peak of level ninety-five for many years shattered!
Level ninety-six!
His soul power level had finally caught up with Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him!
Not only that, the colors of the nine spirit rings beneath his feet also deepened.
What delighted him even more was that he clearly felt his connection to the surrounding space had become closer and clearer than ever before!
It was as if with a single thought, he could easily tear through space and teleport!
His spatial element affinity had increased by ten percent!
"See that, old bones? My cultivation is as strong as yours now! With my current defense, you might not be able to break through!"
Gu Rong was extremely proud.
Don't underestimate this ten percent increase in spatial element affinity; with that extra ten percent, he could even apply spatial elements to defense! He could even try attacking!
Chen Xin chuckled: "Why don't we give it a try?"
Chen Xin was also somewhat eager to try. Although he hadn't broken through Lin Yuan's sword formation over the years, and his cultivation hadn't improved, his understanding of the sword path had undoubtedly advanced further.
His Seven Kill Sword had long been itching for battle.
Seeing that the two were really ready to have a match, Ning Fengzhi quickly said, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, if you're going to compete, you should wait until the rankings are announced."
"Hmph!"
Both of them snorted coldly.
Then Gu Rong suddenly thought of something, frowned, and said, "Fengzhi, Old Swordsman, do you think I would be stronger if I had chosen the spatial route back then? Just increasing my spatial affinity by a mere percentage, I feel like my strength has more than doubled!"
Chen Xin sneered, "Don't tease me. Don't you think about how strong spatial-type soul beasts are, and how extremely rare they are?"
"You're already very lucky to have a spatial transfer soul ring! If all your soul rings were spatial, you wouldn't even be a Title Douluo anymore, you'd probably be two meters old by now."
Lin Yuan: Not that low.
"Tsk, of course I know. I was just reminiscing. If all my soul rings were spatial, then..."
Gu Rong also started fantasizing.
After all, he knew that what he was saying wasn't very realistic.
Canglan Academy.
"Wow! It's Grandpa Bone! Grandpa Bone is on the list!"
Ning Rongrong jumped up happily the moment she saw the list, her little face full of pride.
Although she wasn't on the list herself, she was still very happy.
Both Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone loved her very much, and she loved both of them very much.
Of course, she also loved her father very much.
At the same time, the reactions of various forces on the continent were also different.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.
"Pfft—"
Yu Yuanzhen looked at the list and felt a sweet taste in his throat, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Gu Rong's Bone Dragon was actually ranked higher than him?!
He had always believed that his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus was definitely superior to the Bone Dragon, but the ranking on the Heavenly Dao Golden List was like a merciless slap in the face!
Humiliation! Endless humiliation!
His Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus was the number one beast martial soul on the continent!
And the Bone Dragon martial soul was only the number one defensive martial soul on the continent. In terms of priority, his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus martial soul was definitely above it!
But reality had given him a slap in the face.
Fortunately, the reward difference between the nineteenth and seventeenth place wasn't too great.
This was Yu Yuanzhen's only consolation.
Before everyone could digest the information brought by Bone Douluo's ranking, the golden light in the sky began to change once again!
"Here we go again!"
"Who will it be this time? Could it be Sword Douluo?"
"I guess it's someone from the Clear Sky Sect! The Clear Sky Hammer should make its appearance!"
Amidst countless speculations, everyone's eyes were fixed on the sky, their hearts in their throats.
A few people also fantasized about being on the list themselves.
Finally, the new ranking was set before everyone!
[Martial Soul Ranking, Sixteenth Place: Panlong Staff Martial Soul]
[Holder: Qian Jun (Martial Soul Hall - Hall of Offerings)]
[Evaluation: Top-tier offensive weapon martial soul, the staff can suppress mountains and rivers, a dragon coiled around its body, the ultimate in power, breaking through all laws with a single strike! This martial soul is a perfect combination of strength and sturdiness. The holder's will is unwavering, and the staff technique is perfected, making them virtually invincible among those of the same level!]
[Reward: Soul Power Level increased by one level, all Soul Ring Age increased by nine hundred years, Inherited Staff Technique - Unyielding Staff Technique]
Upon seeing this ranking, over 99% of the Soul Masters on the continent were utterly bewildered.
The Coiling Dragon Staff? What kind of Martial Soul is that?
Thousand Jun? Who is that? Never heard of it!
However, when they saw the three words after the holder's name, the entire continent was instantly thrown into a new wave of shock!
"Spirit Hall!!"
"Finally... finally someone from the Spirit Hall is on the list!" Many Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall exclaimed.
"My god! The Spirit Hall's foundation is terrifying! A random powerhouse we don't even know can rank ahead of Bone Douluo?"
"Who exactly is this Thousand Jun?!"
"The Coiling Dragon Staff, what kind of Martial Soul is it? The Heavenly Curtain actually described it as the ultimate in power? Shouldn't the ultimate in power be the Clear Sky Hammer?"
Countless Soul Masters, in their shock, instantly felt an even greater awe of the Spirit Hall.
