Chapter 391: Appearing in Succession
Within a few days, all the forces qualified to participate in the Seven Great Clans ranking competition had led their respective personnel to Talei City.
Suddenly, experts gathered throughout Talei City. The number of Titled Douluo alone approached ten, and there were even more Spirit Douluo.
The gathering of so many experts was a heavy blow to some Clans that had originally been full of confidence. Many Clans had initially thought that with a Spirit Douluo of rank eighty-five or above overseeing them, they would have a great chance of securing a spot among the Seven Great Clans. But now, it seemed they had completely overestimated themselves. They had no chance at all.
Although many Clans concluded that they had no chance this time, since they had already come, they naturally could not just turn around and go home. The Seven Great Clans ranking competition was a grand event for the entire Spirit Master world. Even if they were only here to broaden their horizons, participating was still worthwhile.
After all the Clans arrived in Talei City, Spirit Hall, together with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, issued a declaration: the Seven Great Clans ranking competition would officially begin three days later.
The reason for holding it three days later was naturally to give the Clans that had traveled from afar time to rest. At the same time, during this period, the many Clans would be informed of the rules and procedures of the Seven Great Clans ranking competition.
Although the Seven Great Clans ranking competition was the peak event of the Spirit Master world, the specific procedures were not complicated. After all, this ranking competition only needed to compare the high-end combat power of each Clan, because high-end strength was the only thing that truly mattered.
Even if a certain Clan had a large number of Spirit Masters overall, if its high-end strength was weak, it would absolutely be unable to rank among the Seven Great Clans.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Clans with powerful high-end combatants would also have a relatively large number of Spirit Masters overall. Clans with mediocre high-end strength but a massive number of Spirit Masters were almost nonexistent.
After the rules and procedures were announced to the numerous Clans, three days quickly passed.
Three days later, just as dawn broke, the various Clans made their preparations and led their respective contingents toward the center of the city.
Along with these Clans came many Spirit Masters who had specifically come to watch the event. Although they were not qualified to participate in the Seven Great Clans ranking competition, there was no problem with them joining in the excitement as spectators.
Talei City was originally a large city, as could be seen from the presence of a Spirit Sub-Hall there. This time, in order to hold the Seven Great Clans ranking competition, Spirit Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had worked together, spending half a year building a massive venue in the city center.
The Spirit Masters who came to watch the excitement were stopped outside the venue by staff from the three parties. They could only watch from outside. Only the Clans qualified to participate in the ranking competition were allowed to enter.
All the participating Clans gradually arrived. After a while, the people from Spirit Hall finally appeared.
First, two teams of Temple Knights trotted forward and lined up on both sides of the road, their heavy armor clanking. Then, following a loud shout of "Her Holiness the Pope arrives," Bibi Dong finally made her appearance.
Dressed in a brilliant golden gown, Bibi Dong held the scepter symbolizing her status as Pope and slowly walked toward the high platform at the front of the venue.
Behind her followed twelve Cardinals of Spirit Hall. These twelve Cardinals respectfully walked behind Bibi Dong in two rows.
Even though this was not Spirit City, Bibi Dong's grand display was still impressive.
Many gilded chairs had already been placed on the high platform. After ascending the platform, Bibi Dong naturally sat in the seat at the very center. As for the twelve Cardinals, they dutifully stood behind her.
The arrival of Spirit Hall immediately silenced the venue, which had been somewhat noisy before.
After all, Spirit Hall had dominated for a long time. The participating Clans and the watching Spirit Masters subconsciously lowered their voices.
However, this quiet atmosphere was soon broken by the arrival of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Led by Yu Yuanzhen, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's four other Titled Douluo and many Spirit Douluo entered the venue. Yu Tianlin and his elder brother, Yu Tianheng, were also among the Spirit Douluo Elders.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is here!"
"Tsk, tsk, five Titled Douluo! And so many Spirit Douluo! The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is truly flourishing!"
"Amazing! Truly amazing!"
"This time, the title of number one Clan must belong to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Perhaps, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also quite strong. It is said that Sword Douluo's strength has reached an astonishing level. Coupled with the amplification of the world's number one support-type Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, maybe Sword Douluo alone can match several experts from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Seeing the arrival of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the many participating Clans and the watching Spirit Masters could not help but discuss in hushed voices.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had truly hidden itself too deeply. Publicly, it had been said to possess only two Titled Douluo, but later, it was revealed that they had five Titled Douluo. This stark contrast had shocked many people, and even after a year had passed, that shock had not completely faded.
The Clear Sky Clan back then was powerful, right? Yet it had only been known as a Clan with two Douluo. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was formidable, right? It also had only two Douluo. But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan alone possessed five Titled Douluo, a number greater than the Clear Sky Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School combined.
Yu Yuanzhen's expression remained unchanged in the face of the surrounding discussions. With a majestic stride, he led the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan onto the high platform, his presence imposing.
Glancing at Bibi Dong in the center, Yu Yuanzhen said nothing and sat directly to her left. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's four other Titled Douluo also took their seats in order.
As for the Spirit Douluo-level Elders, they stood behind the Titled Douluo, just like the twelve Cardinals of Spirit Hall.
In fact, based on Yu Yuanzhen's current strength, he was still slightly stronger than Bibi Dong. It was only because Bibi Dong currently represented Spirit Hall that she sat in the central position. Otherwise, based purely on strength, Yu Yuanzhen should have been the one seated there.
However, Yu Yuanzhen did not care much about such details. Furthermore, he did not want unnecessary complications to arise during the Seven Great Clans ranking competition, so he did not argue with Bibi Dong.
After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan made its appearance, the next to arrive was naturally the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not put on much of a grand display. Only School Master Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo appeared.
Yu Tianlin noticed that when the three members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School appeared, Bibi Dong's gaze immediately focused on Sword Douluo Chen Xin's right arm.
Because Spirit Hall's team had safely retreated after attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School during the Soul Hunting Operation, Bibi Dong knew about Chen Xin losing his arm. However, she later received news that Chen Xin's severed arm had recovered, a situation that clearly drew her attention.
