Chapter 331 Tang Hao's Unwillingness
The next moment.
Above the sky, streaks of golden light descended from the heavens.
It fell directly into the offering hall and surged into the thousands of streams of fluid!
Soul ring age increased, injuries healed, divine body strengthened...
Triple rewards are active simultaneously!
Qian Daoliu felt the chaotic angelic power within his body instantly stabilize.
The injuries inflicted on the God King by Gu Yuena's attack were healing at a visible speed.
The ten spirit rings around his body shone brightly, and his aura rose steadily!
"Thank you for the heavenly curtain's blessing!"
Qian Daoliu was so excited that he trembled all over and quickly bowed to the sky.
An injury that would normally take years to heal.
He has recovered 30% of his strength and is one step closer to his peak!
...
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong's expression darkened slightly.
Qian Daoliu's ranking of tenth was unexpected and made her even more nervous.
Even Qian Daoliu is only tenth, so who are the nine people ahead of him?
She broke through to the Title Douluo level at the age of 38 and is confident that she can rank in the top three.
But at this moment, a sense of unease couldn't help but arise.
...
In the hidden forest, a deathly silence prevailed.
Tang Hao stood frozen in place, his blood surging and his chest heaving violently.
An indescribable sense of frustration and anger almost burst through his chest.
Sendo Ryu was 43 years old and ranked tenth.
He broke through to the Title Douluo level at the age of forty-four.
One year apart.
They're only one year apart!
He can't even get close to the top ten.
"Impossible...this is impossible!"
Tang Hao clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white, but he was completely unaware of it.
In his mind, ever since he suddenly appeared in the world.
From the day he broke through to the Title Douluo level at the age of forty-four.
He is recognized as the youngest Title Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent.
This record has stood for so many years, and no one has been able to break it.
Throughout the entire continent, whether it's the three upper sects or the Spirit Hall.
Which of the older generation of powerful figures doesn't acknowledge Tang Hao's unparalleled talent?
But now, the sky is telling him...
You can't even make the top ten!
"Sky Curtain... is your ranking list truly fair?"
Tang Hao looked up, staring intently at the dazzling golden light screen.
His eyes were bloodshot, his voice was hoarse, and he carried an extreme sense of disbelief and resentment.
It's not that he can't accept that someone is faster than him.
He could guess that the monsters from Beidou Academy were all mysterious in origin and terrifying in strength.
Perhaps quite a few people do break through before the age of forty.
Even so, how could there be a total of nine people?
Did they all become Title Douluo before the age of forty-three?
Could it be that Tang Hao, with his extraordinary talent and brilliant life, has created countless legends on this continent?
As a result, he couldn't even leave a name on the cultivation speed ranking?
What he found most unacceptable was the reward that was so close yet so far away.
What reward did Qian Daoliu receive?
Soul Ring Age Increased, Old Injuries Healed, Divine Body Enhanced!
It has healing properties!
He is now severely injured, his cultivation level has plummeted, and his meridians are damaged and he suffers from a series of hidden injuries.
He was hunted down by the Spirit Hall like a stray dog, living a miserable and wretched life.
As long as I can make it onto the list, as long as I can get that reward.
His injuries will heal, and his cultivation level will rise again.
Then I can hold my head high again, protect my son, and revitalize the Haotian Sect!
But it's just because they're one year apart.
Everything is gone.
Hope, vitality, a chance to turn things around...
Everything vanished in an instant.
"Why... is it only a year apart?!"
Tang Hao slammed his fist into the ground, shattering the hard rock and sending dust flying.
He was panting heavily, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.
The feeling of falling from the clouds into the mud was even more painful than when Ah Yin sacrificed herself and was expelled from the sect.
He was unwilling to accept it, he refused to submit!
But he was facing the supreme heavens, which seemed to hold the laws of all heavens.
He didn't even have the right to refute.
...
Starry Sky Forest.
Gu Yuena stood still, her long silver hair fluttering gently in the wind.
Complex emotions flickered in his purple eyes.
Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang and other ferocious beasts have all gathered here.
They all looked up at the sky, their expressions solemn.
Qian Daoliu, forty-three years old, titled Douluo.
This number is a stark and painful reminder for soul beasts.
"Humans...human soul masters..."
Di Tian gripped his claws tightly, his aura as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King was barely contained, and his eyes were churning with anger and resentment.
"For us soul beasts to reach the combat power of a Title Douluo, it would take us 100,000 years! A full 100,000 years!"
"Wind and rain, heavenly tribulations, predator hunts, every step is fraught with danger... Ten thousand years are needed to exchange for a life and a fighting strength."
"But what about them, the humans?"
"In just over forty years, in the blink of an eye, they have reached the same level as us, or even surpassed us!"
Xiong Jun roared, and his violent aura swept in all directions.
"On what grounds?"
"If it weren't for those hypocrites in the God Realm suppressing my Soul Beast race back then, if the Dragon God hadn't split in two, if humanity hadn't been secretly favored by the God Realm..."
"This continent should have been the domain of us soul beasts!"
Brigitte sighed softly, her eyes filled with helplessness.
"Heaven is unfair. Humans' cultivation speed already far surpasses that of soul beasts, and now, with the appearance of such a heaven-defying opportunity as the Heavenly Curtain, they are constantly being strengthened..."
"In the future, the situation of my soul beast race will only become more difficult."
Gu Yuena remained silent, her heart filled with coldness.
She is the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts.
But the more she understood humanity, the clearer things became to her.
How terrifying is the potential of this race, and how frightening is the speed of its rise?
Sendoryu is only the tenth.
There are nine humans ahead of him who are faster than him.
This means that a group of super-powerful individuals capable of revolutionizing the times has emerged in this generation of humanity.
Beidou Academy!
"The sky..."
Gu Yuena murmured softly, her gaze deep.
She had a vague premonition that this cultivation speed ranking was just the beginning.
The real storm is yet to come.
...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi's expression turned slightly serious.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, standing beside him, also had complex expressions.
"Qian Daoliu... is only ranked tenth at forty-three years old?"
Ning Fengzhi spoke softly, his tone filled with disbelief.
"Back then, we all thought that Tang Hao's age of forty-four was his limit, and that Qian Daoliu, who surpassed him, was already a legend..."
"But now it seems that we have all underestimated the strength of this generation."
Chen Xin gently shook his head and let out a long sigh:
"I broke through to the Title Douluo level when I was over fifty years old, and I am proud of it."
"I thought I might be able to get a bottom ranking on this cultivation speed list."
"Now it seems that I was just indulging in wishful thinking."
"Even someone like Qian Daoliu can only rank tenth. We probably won't even make it into the top twenty."
Gu Rong also gave a wry smile:
"Comparison is the thief of joy. Our generation is already old."
"It's obvious that the next list will be dominated by the Beidou Academy group."
"The landscape on the mainland is really about to change."
The three exchanged a glance, and each saw a hint of disappointment in the other's eyes.
They are among the strongest in the world, renowned for their prowess.
But compared to the incredible speed of those people, it all seemed so dim and insignificant.
