"Senior Chen Xin was already at the peak of level 97. If he levels up another level, wouldn't that make him... a level 98 Super Douluo?!"
"Just one step away from becoming the legendary level 99 Limit Douluo!"
"Martial Soul Evolution! The Seven Kill Sword is already the top-tier weapon martial soul on the continent. After its evolution, how terrifying will it be? Won't it become the number one weapon martial soul in the world?"
"A hundred thousand years' worth of soul bones! The Great Dao Golden Ranking is incredibly generous!"
The Shrek team was stunned by the incredibly generous reward.
Ning Rongrong burst into tears of joy, her pretty face flushed with excitement. She was genuinely happy for her sword-wielding grandfather.
"That's great! That's great! Grandpa Jian, he..."
Everyone congratulated her.
"Rongrong, congratulations!"
"Now Sword Douluo is going to be invincible!"
Tang San gazed at the sky, his heart also filled with turbulent emotions.
Such a reward is something even he, as a god, could not provide.
The ability to elevate the level of a Title Douluo out of thin air, and even cause a top-tier martial soul to evolve... what kind of great existence is behind this Great Dao Golden Ranking?
He knew that this reward meant more than just an increase in strength for Chen Xin.
It also opened a door to a higher realm.
"With this opportunity, Senior Chen Xin may truly have a chance to reach the Limit Douluo realm in the future."
Tang San said softly.
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai and the others couldn't help but show expressions of envy.
They all knew that this opportunity meant a meteoric rise for any Soul Master.
...
In stark contrast to the jubilation of the Tian Dou side, the Martial Soul Empire camp at Jialing Pass was shrouded in gloom and despair.
"How is this possible?! The reward is terrifying!"
The old face of Golden Crocodile Douluo was filled with solemnity.
"Chen Xin, at level ninety-eight, coupled with the evolved Seven Kill Sword... this person will become a major threat to my Spirit Hall!"
The other worshippers also looked grim.
A level 97 Chen Xin is already extremely difficult to deal with, but now a level 98 with a surge in strength has arrived, undoubtedly tilting the balance of the battle.
On the city tower, Qian Renxue wore a magnificent golden armor dress that perfectly accentuated her flawless figure.
She stood quietly, like a sacred and inviolable goddess.
A gentle breeze blew by, lifting her long, flowing golden hair, and her breathtakingly beautiful face showed a slight furrow in her brows.
Her long, straight legs, made even more breathtaking by the golden skirt, moved slightly, revealing her inner turmoil.
As the Goddess of Angels, she was not worried about a level 98 Dust Heart.
No matter how powerful a mortal is, to a god, he is but an ant.
What she was really worried about was the name at the top of the list.
Tang San.
Now that she and Tang San have both become gods, she is not absolutely certain that she can defeat him.
If Tang San also obtained an incredible reward from this golden list...
Then the future of the Spirit Hall will probably be hopeless.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue felt a surge of relief.
"Fortunately... my husband is still in the Star Dou Great Forest, which is the safest place on the continent."
She silently longed for the figure that haunted her dreams.
Although Tang Chen was a soul beast, she believed that with his strength, no one could harm him.
On the contrary, Tang San and his group...
A hint of disgust flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
They always spout platitudes about benevolence and morality, acting as embodiments of justice.
But if they knew of her husband's existence, or the value of a million-year-old soul beast, they would probably not hesitate to reveal the greedy fangs beneath their hypocritical masks and attack her en masse.
"My husband, are you alright?"
She looked up towards the Starry Sky Forest, her beautiful eyes filled with longing and worry.
...
at the same time.
Outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
A figure appeared without warning in the dense forest outside the mountain gate, without even causing a ripple in the space.
Tang Chen, dressed in a blue robe with his black hair flowing down his shoulders, gazed indifferently at the glazed tile buildings that had been rebuilt during the war.
After more than a decade of seclusion, the outside world has changed beyond recognition.
But he didn't care.
He simply closed his eyes, and the sensation originating from the ancestral blue silver bloodline became clearer than ever before.
That's right.
This is the place.
That familiar yet heartbreaking aura was right there within that sect.
"A-Yin… is here."
Tang Chen opened his eyes, but instead of the joy of a long-awaited reunion, a hint of displeasure flashed across them.
They dared to imprison his mother, the former Blue Silver Emperor, here.
An invisible yet terrifying aura, powerful enough to crush the eternal sky, inadvertently emanated from his body.
In an instant, the entire area within a hundred miles fell silent.
The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School guarding the mountain gate, regardless of their cultivation level, all froze at this moment.
Their weapons clattered to the ground, their legs trembled uncontrollably, and a fear from the depths of their souls made it difficult for them to even breathe.
It was as if he was being suppressed by billions of divine mountains, and he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.
...
Inside the council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Gu Rong patted Chen Xin on the shoulder, laughing with envy on his face.
"Old monster, congratulations! You've really struck it lucky this time!"
"Level 98! And with a martial soul evolution! Tsk tsk, reaching the Limit Douluo realm in the future is just around the corner!"
Although Chen Xin appeared calm, his hands holding the sword trembled slightly with excitement.
He spent his life seeking the sword, stuck at level 97 for many years, and thought he had no hope in this life.
Now, the Great Dao Golden List has bestowed upon him an opportunity, allowing him to see the dawn of the supreme sword path.
However, at this very moment...
A terrifying pressure, like a celestial river pouring down, instantly enveloped the entire hall.
The old banyan tree's laughter stopped abruptly.
The excitement and fighting spirit in Chen Xin's eyes were instantly extinguished by a blast of ice water.
The expressions on their faces changed drastically!
Faced with that aura, they felt as insignificant as dust; it was an absolute crushing force on a life level, making them involuntarily want to kneel and submit.
"Who...who is it?!"
Gu Rong's voice trembled. He had never felt such a terrifying aura before. Even when facing the Sea God Tang San, he had never felt so powerless.
Chen Xin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the instinctive fear in his heart, and his soul power circulated wildly within his body.
He spoke in a deep voice to the empty hall, his voice hoarse from extreme tension.
"May I ask which senior has graced my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with their presence?"
"Junior Chenxin, I wonder in what way my sect has offended you, senior?"
After speaking, he paused and then revealed his biggest trump card.
"Please enlighten me, senior. My Seven Treasure Glazed Treasure Sect is under the protection of His Majesty the Sea God Tang San. If there is any misunderstanding, I hope that you will refrain from rash actions for the sake of His Majesty the Sea God!"
