Chapter 15 God-Level Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Rongrong, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! It really is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Upon seeing his daughter's name and martial soul, Ning Fengzhi was overwhelmed with emotion, his eyes welling with tears, his voice choked with emotion.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's centuries-long dream had been realized through his daughter.
What could make him, the sect leader and father, happier than this?
Bone Douluo Gu Rong also grinned widely, forcefully patting Chen Xin's shoulder beside him, excitedly shouting, "Old Chen, did you see that? My Rongrong! The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
"Hahaha, ranked twelfth, even higher than your Seven Kill Sword!"
Chen Xin swayed slightly from the pat, but unusually, he didn't refute, a hint of relief appearing on his usually cold face.
He was happy for his old friend and sect leader, and also filled with curiosity about the "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
For a support-type martial soul to rank this high, its strategic significance was indeed extraordinary.
But soon, the three of them were drawn to the words "Beidou Academy" after Ning Rongrong's name.
"Beidou Academy?"
Ning Fengzhi, after his initial excitement, quickly calmed down and analyzed, "Dugu Yan is also at Beidou Academy, and now Rongrong is too. It seems that this Beidou Academy, hidden deep in the Sunset Forest, is indeed an extraordinary place of opportunity!"
"Rongrong's martial soul evolution must be related to this academy!"
Gu Rong rubbed his hands excitedly, "That's great! Not only is Rongrong alright, but she also received such a great opportunity. After this list is released, I must go to that Beidou Academy and thank them properly!"
Chen Xin, however, remained relatively calm and reminded him, "Fengzhi, old bones, don't rush."
"This Beidou Academy is mysterious and unpredictable. To be able to cultivate disciples like Rongrong and Dugu Yan, its foundation is unfathomable. It might not be a good thing for us to go there rashly."
"Moreover, since Rongrong is safe and sound, we can rest assured. Right now, the more important thing is to pay attention to the subsequent rankings on this list."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, suppressing the urge to see his daughter immediately.
His gaze returned to the sky, his heart filled with gratitude and curiosity towards the Beidou Academy.
Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
She never expected that what ranked above the Clear Sky Hammer was not the Six-Winged Angel she had anticipated, nor some unknown divine-level spirit.
It was actually the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Beidou Academy."
Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes flashed with cold light, her killing intent chilling.
"What a Beidou Academy! It can actually evolve a person's spirit. Such heaven-defying methods..."
She instantly thought of more.
An academy that can promote spirit evolution, the secrets and resources it possesses.
For the Spirit Hall, which aspires to unify the continent, this is both a huge threat and an irresistible temptation!
If they could master this method, the Spirit Hall's strength would experience a qualitative leap!
"Send a message to Ghostly Demon, Yue Guan!"
Bibi Dong's voice was as cold as ice.
"Have them investigate the exact location and internal situation of the Big Dipper Academy at all costs, focusing on whether they have mastered the method of Spirit evolution!"
"Remember, at all costs!"
Bibi Dong's tone was filled with unprecedented resolve.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
A black shadow suddenly appeared and immediately obeyed the order.
Bibi Dong looked in the direction the shadow disappeared, then gazed at the words "Ning Rongrong" and "Big Dipper Academy" on the sky. Her jade-like hands clenched tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
"Big Dipper Academy, no matter how well you hide, I will definitely drag you out. Everything you have will ultimately belong to the Spirit Hall!"
The golden light in the sky did not stop despite the shock from all sides of the continent; instead, it shone even brighter.
New handwriting slowly emerged, like gilded gold, stirring everyone's hearts:
[Martial Soul Ranking, 11th Place: Six-Winged Angel]
[Holder: Qian Renxue (Spirit Hall)]
[Rating: God-level Martial Soul, the darling of the sky, the embodiment of holiness and light, possessing ultimate light and holiness attributes, with limitless potential.]
[Rewards: Soul Power level increased by five levels, Innate Domain power doubled, all Soul Rings' age increased by five thousand years, two Divine Soul Bones (50,000-year quality)]
"11th place! It's the Six-Winged Angel!"
"The Spirit Hall's inherited Martial Soul! It's actually a God-level Martial Soul!"
"Even a God-level Martial Soul can't make the top ten? This..."
"Qian Renxue? Never heard of that name before!"
Exclamations swept across the continent again, but this time, they were filled with disbelief and a deep chill.
The God-level Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, is only ranked 11th?
What terrifying beings must be in the top ten?
Spirit Hall, Hall of Worship.
Inside the golden hall, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed to freeze.
Several elders, led by Qian Daoliu, were gathered there.
When they saw that the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was ranked only eleventh, even though they had expected it, their faces still betrayed shock and a hint of disbelief.
Qian Daoliu stood beneath the enormous angel statue, his back still straight.
But a complex and unfathomable light flickered in his deep eyes.
The last shred of hope in his heart vanished completely with this ranking.
"Great Elder..."
"Even the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul..."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was hoarse.
Qian Daoliu slowly raised his hand, stopping him from continuing.
His gaze swept over each of the worshippers present, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "This result, though unexpected, is also reasonable."
He paused, then continued his analysis: "It seems the ranking on this Heavenly Dao List isn't simply based on the quality and attack power of a martial soul."
"Xue'er's innate soul power is as high as level twenty, her talent is unparalleled, and her compatibility with the Angel martial soul is extremely high. Even so, she's only ranked eleventh. This shows that the criteria for judging the list are extremely complex, possibly including the martial soul's growth ceiling, the application of soul power, and even the holder's own soul power level."
"Although my Six-Winged Angel clan is noble, we are ultimately limited to the sky and the light. Perhaps… this is the reason."
Though he spoke these words, the heaviness in his heart remained undiminished.
He knew the power of the Six-Winged Angels better than anyone else.
And it was precisely because of this that he felt an unprecedented apprehension towards the unknown top ten.
"The Sea God Martial Soul might make it into the top ten, but what about the remaining nine?"
"Could it be that this world truly harbors forbidden powers that even divine inheritances cannot match?"
Qian Daoliu's gaze seemed to pierce through the palace ceiling, fixed on the mysterious golden list, his heart churning with turmoil.
The assembled elders, though still finding it difficult to fully accept, had to admit that Qian Daoliu's analysis was reasonable.
However, the fact that even divine-level Martial Souls couldn't make it into the top ten weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, causing a significant shake-up in their understanding of the continent.
It seemed the waters of the Douluo Continent were far deeper than they had imagined. The number of powerful figures and forces lurking in the shadows was likely far greater than anticipated.
