Chapter 12 Marshal Goron, please bolster our Heavenly Struggle! Top Ten Announced!
Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Yu Xiaogang felt flustered.
How could he possibly know what God was? But he'd already blown the horn, so he could only pretend to be knowledgeable and say:
"Ahem, a Soul Master can become a god at level 100. The Sea God is a Sea Soul Master who has advanced from level 100. The Martial Soul evolves into a divine weapon as one becomes a god!"
Zhao Wuji and the others suddenly realized what was going on and nodded in agreement.
"I've learned a lot. You must be a master; you know everything."
"Reaching level 100? Wow, I can't even imagine it!"
Xiao Wu burst out laughing, covering her mouth as she said:
"Master, what you're saying isn't right, is it? You're not just making this up, are you?"
Although she didn't know the specifics, as a 100,000-year-old soul beast, she had heard her mother mention a thing or two.
A god cannot be achieved simply by reaching level 100; a divine position is required. Divine artifacts are not evolved from martial souls.
Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened, but he maintained his composure and said in a deep voice:
"What makes you think I'm wrong? What's your basis for saying that?"
Xiao Wu smiled and was about to answer.
But Tang San's rebuke interrupted him:
"Enough! The master is absolutely right!"
Xiao Wu was taken aback. This was the first time Tang San had spoken to her like this, and she couldn't help but feel a little wronged as she said:
"I just think there's something wrong with what the master said, why are you being so fierce? I'm your sister!"
Tang San frowned, his expression unwavering, and said coldly:
"The master is never wrong! No one, including you, Xiao Wu, should question my teacher in public and embarrass him!"
Xiao Wu's eyes reddened slightly. She bit her lip and said angrily:
"Heh, whatever you say is right, I'm ignoring you!"
Remembering Tang Hao's special instruction to keep a close eye on Xiao Wu, Zhao Wuji hurried to Tang San's side and advised:
"Xiao San, Xiao Wu is just playful. You're a grown man, so just let her have her way and go and coax her."
Upon hearing this, Tang San realized that he might have gone a bit too far.
He was about to apologize when Yu Xiaogang stopped him, coldly snorting:
"You dare to be so presumptuous because you've spoiled her too much. You need to teach her a lesson so she'll understand the difference between a king and a queen!"
Dai Mubai also snorted:
"That's right, women are just appendages to us men. If they want to sit at the table for a meal, they have to be subservient to us!"
Ma Hongjun, never one to shy away from a good show, grinned mischievously:
"If you don't discipline a woman for three days, she'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. If you want her to be obedient, you have to train her; only when she's disciplined can you treat her well. As the saying goes, 'Give a slap and then a date!'"
Tang San's gaze gradually turned cold, and his eyes became sharper as he looked at Xiao Wu.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu felt even more aggrieved and angry, and angrily went to Zhu Zhuqing's side in the distance.
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, utterly disillusioned with this place, and only hoped that the Heavenly Curtain would announce a suitable force for her to join.
...
The Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City Imperial Palace.
"Heaven is helping me in this battle!"
Emperor Xueye abruptly stood up, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement:
"My Heavenly Dou's national treasure, the 'Vast Ocean Universe Cover,' is actually a divine artifact!"
The civil and military officials echoed their sentiments, and the hall erupted in unprecedented cheers.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, still had a furrowed brow, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as her identity remains unrevealed, she still has a chance, even if Tian Dou possesses such a divine artifact!
Prince Xuexing noticed her expression, his suspicions deepening, and broke the atmosphere by speaking:
"Your Majesty, the exposure of this divine artifact will surely attract covetous eyes. We must guard it with utmost care and as soon as possible decipher its mysteries so that it can truly be used by our Heavenly Battle!"
Emperor Xueye instantly calmed down, nodded repeatedly, and was about to give the order.
But the next second, a golden beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping Marshal Golong.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone in the hall, Marshal Golong's soul power surged wildly.
His original level 88 soul power bottleneck was instantly broken, and he broke through to level 89!
He's just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo!
"This is truly a miracle! Congratulations, Marshal Goron!"
Upon witnessing such a miracle, all the civil and military officials felt instantly that their lives were without regret.
Marshal Goron was so excited that he trembled and knelt down to thank Emperor Xueye for his grace.
At this moment, another thin golden beam of light fell and landed in the hand of Emperor Xueye.
After the light faded, it revealed a top-grade soul bone, which made everyone in the hall's gaze burn with fervor.
An ordinary soul bone is already a "treasure of the Blood River" that attracts countless people to fight over, let alone such a top-grade soul bone!
Emperor Xueye shifted his gaze to Marshal Gelong, and said authoritatively:
"Marshal Golong is now only one step away from becoming a Title Douluo, and I have decided to bestow this bone upon him! Do any of my beloved ministers have any objections?!"
The civil and military officials were taken aback at first, then bowed and echoed:
"Your Majesty is wise! If Marshal Golong can successfully advance his career by borrowing this bone, he will surely deter all villains from all directions for our Heavenly Battle!"
Qian Renxue bowed in agreement, but a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
What a brilliant plan! Not only did it reveal the divine artifact to Tian Dou, but it also added a titled Douluo to the list!
Marshal Goron was flattered and immediately knelt down to decline:
"Your Majesty, you mustn't! I have already received a divinely bestowed reward, how can I possibly receive two? I beg Your Majesty to rescind your decree!"
The Snow Night Emperor quickly stepped forward and helped him up, his tone filled with solemnity:
"Marshal Gelong, even with the blessing of divine artifacts, my Heavenly Fighting Army cannot rank in the top ten. I wonder what terrifying beings exist above us, and whether they will endanger Heavenly Fighting Army!"
"Now you are only one step away from becoming a Title Douluo. Only when this soul bone is in your hands can it become a sharp blade to protect the millions of people of Heaven Dou! To save the collapsing edifice!"
As he spoke, he opened the other person's hand, placed the soul bone on it, and a tear welled up in his eye:
"The future of Tiandou depends on my beloved minister, Ge Long. Please accept this gift and strengthen Tiandou!"
Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials knelt down in unison and shouted:
"Marshal Goron, please lend your strength to our Heavenly Struggle!"
Marshal Goron burst into tears instantly and knelt down to kowtow.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace! I will certainly live up to your trust, break through to the Title Douluo level, and vow to protect the Heavenly Dou Sect with my life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and quickly left the main hall, looking for a quiet place to absorb the energy.
Watching Marshal Goron depart, Emperor Xueye's eyes instantly regained their sharpness, and he loudly issued an order:
"Your Highness, heed my command! I hereby order you to take full control of the defense of the 'Vast Ocean Universe Cover' and to decipher its mysteries!"
Prince Xuexing glanced at Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe, bowed, accepted the order, and left.
After dealing with these matters, Emperor Xueye looked up at the sky and murmured to himself:
"The three upper sects and the two great empires are already on the list. Besides the Spirit Hall, what other forces could possibly be on the list?"
Qian Renxue was equally curious, wondering if the Spirit Hall could still remain at the top of the list among so many unknown forces.
...
Chang'an City.
Ye Han gazed at the sky, a faint smile playing on his lips, and murmured:
"The three upper sects and the two great empires are the five strongest forces on the continent besides the Spirit Hall, yet they can't even make it into the top ten. The outside world must be going crazy with anxiety."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly, her red lips parting slightly:
"Lord City Lord, the more things are like this, the greater the risk of our Chang'an City being exposed on the list. What if various external forces covet it and unite..."
Ye Han smiled dismissively:
"Don't worry, I know the intentions of all the forces outside better than anyone else. Once Chang'an is exposed, they will rush to win him over. Let's wait and see."
...
While the two were talking, the entire continent was eagerly watching the sky.
Everyone wanted to know what kind of power could rank above the two powerful empires.
Finally, amidst the tense and expectant gazes of countless people, the golden sky above was renewed:
[Power Ranking, 10th: Sunset Forest...]
