Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 9 Martial Soul Ranking, Number Fifteen, Reactions of Various Forces
For such a powerful individual to go to Heaven Dou City, which doesn't even have a single Title Douluo, to protect Qian Renxue would be an extremely simple matter.

If it weren't for the fact that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had some connection with the Heaven Dou royal family, and that the now greatly improved Sword Bone Douluo might assist the Heaven Dou royal family in dealing with Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu wouldn't have done this.

Tian Dou City, Imperial Court.

As Emperor Xueye looked at the list of people on the list and the factions to which they belonged, his heart sank to the bottom.

It is an indisputable fact that the Heaven Dou Empire has no titled Douluo. However, he originally hoped that a Soul Douluo or General could make it onto the list and bring some opportunities to Heaven Dou City.

Even the spirits of renowned titled Douluo like Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, and the Pope of the Spirit Hall couldn't rank in the top ten, so he had even less hope for the spirit masters of Heaven Dou City.

Why are all my beloved ministers silent?

Emperor Xueye struggled to stay upright despite his severely poisoned body.

"Your Majesty... this Martial Soul Ranking..."

Below, several ministers mustered their courage and stammered, unable to give a clear answer.

"This... ugh!"

"My beloved ministers, speak freely. Isn't it just that my Heaven Dou royal family doesn't have a single Soul Master on the list?"

"So be it... The strength of high-level Soul Masters has always been a weakness of my Heaven Dou Empire."

"Sigh... Qinghe, go and invite Sect Master Ning to a meeting. Tell him that I have agreed to designate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as a national protector sect, and I have agreed to all the conditions."

Left with no other choice, Xueye gave in.

The Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall are sworn enemies; without high-level spirit masters to oversee them, trouble may arise.

With two Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School making it onto the list one after another, their strength has greatly improved, making them a reliable backer.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is designated as a national guardian sect, the benefits that the Heaven Dou Empire will have to cede will be far more than just a small amount.

Ning Fengzhi is also a cunning old fox, capable of crippling the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Alright, I have made up my mind on this matter. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is now far stronger than before. Rather than handing over the territory to others, it is better to give it to the familiar Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Sword Douluo is currently at the peak of level 97, and Bone Douluo is at the peak of level 96. Moreover, you have all seen the rewards. The strength of these two titled Douluo can definitely increase countless times."

"With the assistance of Sect Master Ning, the number one support-type martial soul on the continent, the combat power they unleash is absolutely unimaginable."

"Moreover, I heard from the spies of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is currently experiencing financial difficulties and seems to be using all its money to equip its direct lineage soul masters."

"At a time like this, he would definitely not refuse."

"Yes, Father!"

Xue Qinghe accepted the order and left, but he kept his eyes on the rankings and looked down on Bibi Dong, who was ranked sixteenth.

"Sister, don't you pride yourself on being the number one genius on the continent? How come you're only ranked sixteenth?"

As Qian Renxue was thinking this, a cunning and clever idea suddenly popped into her head.

If I write her a letter to comfort her at this moment, will it make her furious?
"But sixteenth place is nothing special."

In the woods outside Soto City, Tang Hao stared venomously at the names of those on the list.

"Bibi Dong, what a Bibi Dong! What a Soul-Devouring Spider Queen!"

"Qian Xunji died under mysterious circumstances, but I cannot let my revenge go unavenged!"

"Just wait, my ranking, Tang Hao's, is destined to be ahead of yours, and my son will occupy the top three spots on the list. Give my son and me some time, and we will surely crush your Spirit Hall and avenge Ah Yin!"

At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang looked at Bibi Dong's name on the list and felt a surge of emotion, thinking of his time with Bibi Dong in his youth.

"Xiao Gang, I've already spoken to the teacher, and he's agreed to your request to study in the Spirit Hall's library." "Xiao Gang, I've always believed in you. Your talent is unparalleled on the continent, and the teacher will definitely approve of our relationship."

"Xiao Gang, I know that your Martial Soul theory has been published. I've read it, and it's very good."

"Xiao Gang, let's... break up."

Unbeknownst to her, two streams of hot tears flowed from Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

If I hadn't left the Spirit Hall in a fit of pique back then, I might have already broken through to level 30 given Bibi Dong's current status.

Blue Tyrant Academy, in the back garden.

As the number sixteenth on the list was announced, the woman, who had been relatively quiet, slammed her hand heavily on the table with a loud "bang."

In an instant, the table and the teacup on it were shattered into dust by the immense soul power.

"That damned woman Bibi Dong actually made the list, how infuriating!"

Liu Erlong was furious, her ample chest trembling with rage.

"Hmph! Little Gang, you probably saw it too, right? So, between me and Bibi Dong, who do you choose?"

Before long, a soft sobbing sound came from the back garden, like a mournful lament.

The ranking list hasn't been updated for a long time, and it's still in sixteenth place, seemingly pausing every five places.

The various factions also had much to discuss regarding the fifteenth ranked martial spirit on the martial spirit list.

"Besides the 20th and 19th places being the unheard-of Tianxing Academy, the other three on the list are two Title Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and one Pope, who is famous throughout the Soul Master world and is the spiritual leader of the entire Soul Master world."

"So, the fifteenth place... Clear Sky Hammer, or Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul? It can't be some other name I've never heard of, right?"

Within Tianxing Academy, the fifteenth place was also of great interest. Even though Ning Rongrong, the little devil, had left, Shui Yue'er was still there to liven things up, and she was in no way inferior to Ning Rongrong.

"Teacher, do you know what kind of martial soul is in the fifteenth place? Take a guess."

Li Tianyi smiled and shook his head, "Teacher, I'm not a god, how could I possibly guess?"

Upon hearing this, all the trainees stopped what they were doing and stared at Li Tianyi seriously, showing extreme distrust of his statement.

"Teacher, if you're not a god, then who is on this continent?"

"That's right, teacher, you must know in your heart, so please tell us."

"Rongrong's Nine-Jeweled Glazed Pagoda? Or Lingling's Twin Nine-Heart Begonias?"

"Or perhaps... Xiao Wu, or Bing'er?"

"It can't be Zhu Qing, can it? Her martial soul is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which the teacher himself mentioned. It's a super god-level martial soul. It wouldn't make sense if she wasn't in the top three, would it?"

Li Tianyi was so annoyed by the noise that he reluctantly uttered a sentence.

"Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall possesses twin spirits; guess for yourself."

"Oh... so the fifteenth place is still the Pope, how pitiful..."

Shuiyue sighed.

At this very moment, the Martial Soul Ranking began to change again, and the fifteenth place was officially revealed!
