Chapter 5 Ning Fengzhi: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Only Nineteenth? Heaven's Way is Unfair!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at the ranking and rewards of the Clear Sky Hammer, shocked and feeling immense pressure.
Ning Fengzhi gasped: "Clear Sky Hammer... only twentieth?"
He originally thought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda might not make it into the top three, but there was always hope for the top ten. Now it seems the situation is far more serious than expected.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong chuckled: "Hehe, those old men in the Clear Sky Sect are going to be furious now. The most talented person isn't in the Clear Sky Sect, but... these rewards are truly good stuff, a 100,000-year soul bone, an increase in the age of the soul ring, even I can't help but envy them."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes were sharp: "The rumored strongest Clear Sky Hammer user, Tang Chen, I didn't expect him to still exist in this state. The Golden Ranking can even detect this, its power is indeed unfathomable!"
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen's arrogant expression faded considerably, replaced by surprise and uncertainty: "The Clear Sky Hammer is only twentieth? Then my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex..."
He dared not think further; his unwavering confidence suddenly began to waver.
Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong was first taken aback, then let out a hearty and cold laugh: "Hehehe, the number one weapon spirit in the world? Only twentieth place. It seems the Heavenly Dao's judgment isn't too bad."
Her tone carried a hint of schadenfreude, but her eyes grew even more solemn.
In fact, she knew very well the power of the Clear Sky Hammer; even it could only rank last. The value of this list was beyond imagination.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan shrieked, "Your Holiness, this reward... a 100,000-year soul bone, and an increase in the age of all soul rings—it's unheard of! If more of us could make the list..."
Ghost Douluo's ghostly voice was gloomy: "The key is, what will the top nineteen be?"
Bibi Dong's gaze was profound: "Just watch. The waters of this continent run deeper than we imagine. However, no matter what kind of martial soul it is, it will ultimately submit to my Spirit Hall!"
In the Hall of Offerings.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "The Clear Sky Hammer... only ranked twentieth. If that old guy Tang Chen still had a shred of sanity, he would probably be furious right now."
Golden Crocodile Douluo, ranked second in the hall, said in a dry tone, "It seems we were a bit narrow-minded before. We didn't expect the Clear Sky Hammer to only rank twentieth."
The entire continent was in an uproar because of the Clear Sky Hammer's ranking and rewards.
Countless soul masters were shocked by the Clear Sky Hammer's low ranking, and at the same time, they were filled with envy and longing for the generous Heavenly Dao rewards.
If even the twentieth place receives such a reward, what about those ahead?
The Heavenly Rankings shimmered with divine light.
Before millions of Soul Masters could fully recover from the shock of "the Clear Sky Hammer only ranking twentieth," the new rankings, under the watchful eyes of millions, appeared with overwhelming divine might:
[Soul Rankings, 19th Place: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda]
!!!
If the Clear Sky Hammer's twentieth ranking was shocking, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's nineteenth ranking was like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads.
It sent a chill down the spines of the entire Douluo Continent, especially among the supporters of the three upper sects!
"Ten...nineteenth? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? The number one support-type weapon spirit in the world is only one place higher than the Clear Sky Hammer?!"
"This...how is this possible! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support abilities are unparalleled on the continent; which top-tier soul master team can do without it?"
"You say the Clear Sky Hammer needs self-created soul skills to complement it, I can tolerate that, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda doesn't need those fancy functions; its main strength is its overpowered stats!"
"Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda...then what hope do our other support-type weapon spirits have?"
"What kind of monsters are those ahead of us?"
Exclamations swept across the continent once more.
But compared to the previous pure doubt, there was now more bewilderment and fear.
It turned out that the Golden Ranking's criteria seemed to be completely beyond their comprehension.
[Evaluation: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support-type weapon spirit in the world!] The radiance flows, the attribute amplification reaches its peak, possessing the power to determine the fate of the battlefield! However, martial souls are inherently limited, restricted to seven layers, greatly limiting the ultimate achievements and potential of their wielders. Therefore, the ranking stops here, which is regrettable.
[Strongest Wielder: Ning Fengzhi, Level 79 Soul Saint, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, exceptionally intelligent, utilizing the art of support to its mortal limits.]
[Rewards: All soul rings' age increased by 10,000 years, exclusive soul tool—'Glazed Star Plate'. Can pre-store massive amounts of soul power and release it instantly at crucial moments, greatly extending the duration of high-intensity support and slightly improving the range and stability of all support soul skills.]
[Most Talented: Ning Rongrong, Level 31 Soul Venerable, innate soul power level nine, insightful and possessing the potential to break through the shackles of bloodline.]
[Rewards: Soul Power level increased by one level (Level 32), all Soul Rings' age increased by four hundred years, one Immortal Herb 'Nine-Colored Qiluo Tulip'—this is the key to breaking fate. After consumption, it can compensate for the defects in the Martial Soul's origin, and has a very high probability of guiding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve, breaking through the Seven Rings Heavenly Barrier and evolving into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!]
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Inside the main hall, deathly silence reigned.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the words "nineteenth place" and the merciless comments in the evaluation, such as "innate shackles" and "regrets," and his face instantly turned pale. He swayed, and if Sword Douluo hadn't caught him in time, he would have almost lost his balance.
This ranking was like a heavy hammer, shattering the last bit of luck and pride in his heart.
"Nineteen...only nineteen?"
Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled slightly, filled with bitterness and disbelief.
"Damn it!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong roared, slamming his fist into a stone pillar beside him, instantly cracking it. "My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, unparalleled in its support abilities across the continent, can't even make it into the top eighteen?! Has the Heavenly Dao gone blind?!"
"The strategic value of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda cannot be measured by a mere ranking!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's sword energy erupted uncontrollably, cutting through the air with a piercing hiss. He stared intently at the gold list, enunciating each word clearly:
"The Heavenly Dao... how unjust! How dare it so disrespect my sect's heritage!"
However, when their gazes, especially Ning Fengzhi's despairing gaze, fell upon Ning Rongrong's reward as "Most Talented Person," all their anger, resentment, and despair instantly transformed into unparalleled shock and... almost manic ecstasy!
"Wait, the Nine...Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?! Breaking the shackles of bloodline?!"
Ning Fengzhi's voice suddenly rose, filled with indescribable excitement. He gripped Sword Douluo's arm tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
"Rongrong! It's Rongrong's reward! The realm countless ancestors of our sect have dreamed of! An opportunity! Heaven has given us the opportunity to break through our limits!"
