Chapter 143: Sikong Zhen's Breakthrough, heavenly curtain Anomaly
Inside Big Dipper Academy.
Sikong Zhen, sitting cross-legged, was completely enveloped by violent lightning.
Silver-purple electric snakes danced wildly, emitting a harsh crackling sound that warped the surrounding space.
An aura far more terrifying than Rank 98 was steadily rising, as if an ancient slumbering thunder beast was awakening.
"Teacher Sikong Zhen is about to break through?"
Dugu Yan watched from afar, her voice filled with shock.
Li Bai held his wine pot, a glint flashing in his eyes: "It seems watching the battle between the two Peak ocean powerhouses allowed him to touch that barrier."
Lu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, nodding slightly: "He was already just a step away. Bo Saixi's 'momentum' of controlling the ocean and the Demon Emperor's 'intent' to destroy everything just gave him the final inspiration."
Just as the lightning power around Sikong Zhen reached its Peak,
and he was about to break through that invisible barrier!
Above the heavenly curtain, a bloody light surged violently.
The name of the eleventh place slowly began to emerge.
A clear character'Si' had just appeared.
The next moment, an anomaly occurred!
"Buzz!"
The heavenly curtain seemed to be interfered with by an invisible force, and the bloody light flickered erratically.
The character'Si' that had just appeared, faded and disappeared as if erased by an eraser.
rapidly faded and disappeared.
Soul Masters across the entire continent were stunned.
"What's going on? Why did the name disappear?"
"I think I just saw a'Si' character?"
"Was it Sikong Zhen of Big Dipper Academy? Why did his name disappear?"
After a brief period of confusion.
The heavenly curtain's bloody light stabilized again, and new ranking information condensed into form:
[Combat Power List, Eleventh Place]
[Name: Bibi Dong]
[Affiliation: Spirit Hall]
[Creature Type: Human]
[Soul Power Rank: Rank 99]
[Martial Soul: Death Spider Emperor, Soul Eating Spider Emperor]
[Soul Ring Configuration]
[Death Spider Emperor: Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red]
[Soul Eating Spider Emperor: Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red, Red]
[Combat Power Evaluation: Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Rakshasa God Inheritor. Both twin spirits are equipped with top-tier Soul Rings, possessing extremely strong death and spiritual attack capabilities. Having obtained partial divinity in the Rakshasa God Trial, she can wield evil divine force, placing her combat power at the top tier among Limit Douluo. Comprehensive evaluation: Her attacks are bizarre and unpredictable, especially skilled in spiritual erosion and the Death Domain. Her threat is immense in specific environments.]
[Reward: Soul Power solidification tripled, all Soul Ring lifespans increased by nine thousand years, Rakshasa God affinity increased by 20%, obtained Elementary control of Divine Skill 'Heart of Rakshasa'. (Rewards pending distribution)]
As Bibi Dong's information was revealed, the continent was shaken once more.
"twin spirits! All with top-tier configurations!"
"After receiving the heavenly curtain's rewards, Bibi Dong's Soul Rings have become so Heaven-Defying!"
"No wonder she was able to reach such a Realm in such a short time!"
But amidst the shock, the questions in many people's hearts lingered.
What was with that disappearing'Si' character just now?
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong sat on her throne, looking at her ranking on the heavenly curtain.
However, there was no joy in her eyes!
Instead, there was deep solemnity.
"Eleventh place?"
Her slender fingers gently tapped the armrest, "Not even in the top ten."
What concerned her more was the disappearing name.
In her judgment, that'Si' character most likely pointed to Sikong Zhen.
But why would the name disappear?
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, what do you think?"
Bibi Dong's voice was cold.
Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed: "Your Holiness, according to the intelligence we have, Sikong Zhen's Soul Power indeed reached Rank 98 Peak after receiving multiple heavenly curtain rewards."
"With the cross-Rank combat power of Big Dipper Academy's powerhouses, he is comparable to an ordinary Limit Douluo, so being on the list is reasonable."
Ghost Douluo continued: "But for the name to suddenly disappear, there are only two possibilities."
"Either he perished at the moment the list refreshed, or..."
"Or his strength underwent a qualitative change at that moment, causing the heavenly curtain to need to re-evaluate."
Bibi Dong finished the latter half of the sentence, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
"The possibility of perishing is minuscule, so there is only one explanation."
Just then, a terrifying lightning fluctuation.
came from the distant direction of Big Dipper Academy.
Although thousands of miles apart, that unique aura of breaking through the Limit Douluo barrier.
was clearly perceived by the continent's top powerhouses.
"Indeed."
"He broke through."
Bibi Dong stood up and walked to the window, looking towards Big Dipper Academy.
Inside the Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his golden pupils: "Rank 99. Sikong Zhen broke through."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression was solemn: "High Priest, this means..."
"It means the heavenly curtain's combat power list is refreshed in real-time."
"At the moment the list refreshed, Sikong Zhen happened to break through to Rank 99, causing the heavenly curtain to need to re-evaluate his combat power, thus temporarily withdrawing the original ranking."
Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice.
Azure Luan Douluo gasped: "Real-time refresh? The heavenly curtain's ability is too terrifying then!"
"What's more terrifying is that after breaking through to Rank 99, Sikong Zhen's ranking is likely not just eleventh."
Qian Daoliu's gaze was profound.
"Bibi Dong's twin spirits configuration is perfect, and she has the Rakshasa God Trial's blessing, yet she is only eleventh."
"Sikong Zhen being able to make the heavenly curtain temporarily withdraw the list after his Breakthrough indicates that his estimated ranking... is very likely to enter the top ten."
Upon hearing this, all the High Priests were aghast.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi's teacup paused slightly as he looked at Sword Douluo: "Chen Xin, you felt it too?"
Chen Xin nodded, Battle Intent surging in his eyes: "The Rank 99 barrier has been broken."
"And this lightning aura is much stronger than that of an ordinary Limit Douluo."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong clicked his tongue in wonder: "This Sikong Zhen is not simple. To have such power right after breaking through, no wonder the heavenly curtain temporarily withdrew the list."
Ning Fengzhi mused: "A real-time refreshed combat power list means that any change in anyone's strength will immediately be reflected on the list."
"It seems this list is more accurate than we imagined."
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen felt the lightning aura from afar and shook his head bitterly: "Another Limit Douluo. And from the looks of it, much stronger than an ordinary Limit Douluo."
The clansmen behind him all had complex expressions.
Once the number one Beast Spirit in the world!
Now, in front of true powerhouses, it seemed so powerless.
Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Di Tian opened his Dragon eyes, looking towards Big Dipper Academy: "Among humans, another interesting fellow has appeared."
Bi Ji softly said: "Di Tian, Sikong Zhen's lightning power seems to be different from ordinary lightning attributes."
"It contains a hint of destruction."
Di Tian's eyes flashed with interest, "It seems humans are not all useless."
Inside Big Dipper Academy.
The lightning around Sikong Zhen gradually converged, finally integrating completely into his body.
When he opened his eyes, billions of lightning flashes seemed to flicker within them, then receded.
He slowly rose!
His entire demeanor underwent a radical change.
If he was previously a drawn sword, sharp and exposed.
Then now he was an unfathomable sea of thunder, containing world-destroying power beneath its calm surface.
"Congratulations on breaking through to Rank 99."
Lu Xiao smiled and stepped forward.
Li Bai raised his wine pot: "It seems watching that battle between the two yielded considerable gains."
Sikong Zhen felt the surging power within him and nodded.
"Bo Saixi's use of the ocean's momentum and the Demon Emperor's Dao of destruction both gave me insights."
"Rank 99. It truly is a world of difference from Rank 98."
He looked up at the heavenly curtain, his gaze sharp: "The anomaly on the heavenly curtain just now, was it because of me?"
Lu Xiao nodded: "It should be. At the moment of your Breakthrough, the heavenly curtain was refreshing the eleventh place ranking."
"Because your strength underwent a qualitative change, the heavenly curtain needed to re-evaluate, so it withdrew the name that was about to be displayed."
"Interesting."
A flash of lightning flickered in Sikong Zhen's eyes, "So, does this mean I am now qualified to compete for the top ten?"
Just as his voice fell.
The heavenly curtain once again surged with bloody light!
Surging endlessly, under the gaze of countless eyes.
The brand new ranking information finally condensed into form!
[Combat Power List, Tenth Place]
[Name: Snow Empress (Ice Sky Snow Maiden)]
[Affiliation: Far North]
[Creature Type: Soul Beast]

Her Ice and Snow Domain has an absolute suppressive effect on most Soul Masters.

[Reward: Soul Power Rank solidification quadrupled, Ultimate Ice purity and control greatly increased, Divine Rank skill: Withering of All Things (Rewards pending distribution)]
The entire continent was in an uproar!
"A Soul Beast even more terrifying than the Demon Emperor has appeared!"
"The Supreme of Ultimate Ice—is this the might of the Ice Sky Snow Maiden, felt even through the heavenly curtain?"
"Tenth place! This is a true top-tier powerhouse!"
Bibi Dong sat on the Supreme Pontiff's throne.
Watching the Snow Empress's ranking surpass her own.
Her eyes, far from showing fear, ignited with fervent Battle Intent.
"The overlord of the Far North, huh."
"Perfect, let me personally experience the strength of a top-tier Ferocious beast."
Her slender fingers gently tapped the armrest.
Just then!
The vast voice of the heavenly curtain resounded throughout heaven and earth.
[Bibi Dong! Do you wish to apply to open the 'Endless Arena' and challenge the tenth-ranked Snow Empress?]
With almost no hesitation.
Bibi Dong's clear, cold voice echoed through the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Battle!"
She turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo: "During my absence, you two will temporarily handle Spirit Hall affairs. If there are urgent matters, you may consult the Hall of Worship."
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
The two responded in unison.
