Chapter 14 The Hall of Offerings Exposed, Qian Daoliu's Speculation.
Gu Rong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "An old guy who was our contemporary, even earlier than us!"
"Back then, he and his younger brother, the Demon-Slaying Douluo, wielded the Panlong Staff, and were unparalleled in battle, never suffering a defeat. Especially when the two brothers worked together, they didn't have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, but they possessed the power of one!"
"The Panlong Staff Martial Soul has a coiled dragon inside, and it can also fight in tandem. Like the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, it is a blunt weapon and has the same characteristics."
Ning Fengzhi frowned: "The same characteristics? Uncle Gu, you mean, when you inject soul power, it becomes larger and heavier?"
Gu Rong nodded: "Yes, this Martial Soul and the Clear Sky Hammer both have this characteristic. Tianmu's evaluation of it as the ultimate in power is not an exaggeration at all."
"If it weren't for Tang Chen from the Clear Sky Sect, who created so many secret techniques to strengthen martial souls, they wouldn't have been able to overpower the Panlong Staff martial soul."
Chen Xin sighed, "After all these years, I thought only Qian Daoliu was still alive in the Hall of Worship, but I didn't expect this."
Then Chen Xin's expression turned serious: "It seems that the other elders of the Martial Soul Hall are still alive!"
"These old guys are really good at hiding, they've been hiding in the Hall of Worship for thirty years."
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen's face was so black it was almost dripping water.
"Qian Jun... that old codger isn't dead yet!"
Of course, he knew Qian Jun!
It could even be said that no one of the strong people of their generation was unaware of the fame of the Qian Jun and Demon Subduing brothers!
However, the Panlong Staff was overpowered by the Clear Sky Hammer, and Qian Jun and Demon Subduing had been in seclusion for decades, so naturally no one on the continent knew about the Panlong Staff martial soul.
Even he had almost forgotten about it.
Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Mansion.
Inside the study, Qian Renxue looked at the rankings on the screen and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.
"Grandpa Qianjun is on the list too! That's wonderful!"
The seven elders of the Hall of Worship were all her elders who had watched her grow up, and each of them doted on her. Seeing her grandfather on the list and receiving the Heavenly Dao reward, she was naturally overjoyed.
"With the reward from the list, Grandpa Qianjun's soul power should have successfully broken through to the peak of level ninety-seven, right?"
She thought to herself.
"Moreover, he also received a set of inherited techniques called the 'Unyielding Staff Technique.' It's truly intriguing. I wonder how this staff technique compares to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's 'Dragon Transformation' secret technique, or even the Clear Sky Sect's 'Great Sumeru Hammer'?"
Shrek Academy.
Flander looked at the sky and couldn't help but frown again, turning to look at Yu Xiaogang beside him.
"Hey Xiaogang, what's the background of this Panlong Staff Martial Soul? Is it very strong?"
Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
What could he say?
Could he say he didn't know either?!
Yu Xiaogang, who prided himself on being the best in martial spirit theory, had read countless records and studies on martial spirits in the Spirit Hall's archives.
But what was the result?
He didn't recognize a single one of the Azure Dragon Emperor, Nine-Hearted Life Begonia, or this Coiling Dragon Staff appearing on the list today!
It felt like a top student confidently walking into an exam hall, only to find he couldn't answer a single question!
It was incredibly frustrating!
Tang San, watching his teacher's hesitant and fluctuating expression, was also somewhat surprised.
The Nine-Hearted Life Begonia, now the Coiling Dragon Staff—were there really so many powerful martial spirits in the world that even his teacher didn't know about?
Tang San was unaware that the existence of the other six enshrined figures in the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship and their martial spirits were top-secret information within the entire Spirit Hall.
Apart from the Pope and a few core members, outsiders had no way of knowing.
Although Yu Xiaogang entered the Spirit Hall back then, Qian Daoliu wasn't foolish enough to let him enter the Hall of Worship. Some classic texts are only available in the Hall of Worship; it would be a miracle if he knew them.
Tang San looked at the list on the sky, a sense of nervousness rising within him.
Bone Douluo was seventeenth, and the Spirit Hall's Thousand-Pound Douluo was sixteenth.
He wondered if his Clear Sky Hammer would make the list. If so, where would it rank?
In terms of spirit quality, his Clear Sky Hammer possessed innate full spirit power (in his opinion), so it shouldn't be bad.
Although its development might not be as advanced as other spirit masters with the Clear Sky Hammer spirit, its potential was high!
Just then, a scene that had the entire continent on edge unfolded once more.
The golden sky above began to shift its light once more!
[Spirit Ranking, Fifteenth Place: Flaming Lion]
[Owner: Lion Douluo (Spirit Hall - Hall of Offerings)]
[Heavenly Dao Commentary: Top-tier offensive fire-attribute beast spirit, blazing flames, roaring lion, the ultimate fire, kingly majesty, king of beasts. Combining explosive power and sustained burning ability, it is a battlefield overlord.]
[Reward: Soul Power level increased by one level, all Soul Rings' age increased by one thousand years, Talent Domain: Molten Gold Domain!]
When the information of the fifteenth-ranked player was clearly presented to everyone, the entire continent fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone's expression froze.
Shock?
No, "shock" was no longer enough to describe it.
It was a fear from the depths of their souls!
"Another one?!"
"The Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship?!"
"The sixteenth place is from the Spirit Hall, and the fifteenth place is also from the Spirit Hall?!"
"Lion Douluo... another Title Douluo we've never even heard of!"
"Just how many old monsters like this are hidden in this Hall of Worship?!"
Two consecutive rankings, both from that mysterious Hall of Worship!
What does this mean?
It means that the strength of these two worshippers is stronger than that of Yu Yuanzhen and Gu Rong!
And those who know some secrets naturally know that the Hall of Worship requires level ninety-six to enter.
And this increase of one level in Soul Power is an incredibly terrifying increase in strength!
"Hahaha—"
"I never expected to be on the list!"
A beam of light descended, and Lion Douluo's soul power instantly rose to level ninety-eight, his soul rings changing to four purple and five black.
Qian Daoliu smiled: "Congratulations! Those who reach the Super Douluo level all have excellent martial souls. Unless someone's martial soul quality far surpasses your top-tier martial souls, the stronger you are, the greater your chances of being on the list!"
Based on these rankings, Qian Daoliu had discerned some key points.
First and foremost was the quality of the martial soul, which carried the most weight.
If all martial souls were top-tier and of similar quality, then it depended on the individual soul master's development of their martial soul, such as soul ring configuration, soul master level, and self-created soul skills.
However, if someone's martial soul was of god-level quality, like his granddaughter, then without a doubt, his granddaughter would be on the list!
Although the Six-Winged Angels all possessed god-level martial souls, Qian Renxue possessed divinely bestowed level ten soul power, something he lacked!
