Ning Rongrong linked arms with Oscar, her face beaming with a confident smile.
"That's right, that's right."
"If Third Brother is number one, then even if the rest of us don't rank in the top few, we'll definitely make the list."
Xiao Wu stood beside Tang San, gazing tenderly at her lover.
Although she didn't speak, the trust in her eyes said it all.
In their eyes, Tang San was the chosen one of this era, a man destined to stand at the pinnacle.
The scene shifts back to Wuhun City, inside the Hall of Worship.
Qian Renxue had just put on the Pope's crown and was feeling the weight of that power.
Seeing the changes in the sky, she slightly raised her head.
A hint of curiosity flickered in her beautiful golden eyes.
She turned around and looked at the man who was still sitting in the main seat, his expression indifferent.
"Father."
Qian Renxue called out softly.
"This power ranking..."
"Where do you think you rank, given your abilities?"
In Qian Renxue's mind, her father was mysterious and unpredictable, and could even casually produce super artifacts.
But she never actually saw her father use his full strength.
She didn't have a clear idea of her father's specific combat capabilities.
Upon hearing this, Qianyu simply blew gently on the tea leaves floating in the teacup.
He did not answer his daughter's question.
But his deep, star-like eyes swept across the sky, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This ambiguous attitude only fueled Qian Renxue's anticipation.
At this moment, in the square outside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong, accompanied by Hu Liena, was angrily heading down the mountain towards the main hall of the Papal Palace.
Although she was stripped of her papacy, she had held that position for twenty years, and many of her personal belongings were still in the sanctuary.
More importantly, she needed a place to calm herself down.
"The number one spot on the power ranking will be announced in three days?"
Bibi Dong stopped and looked at the words on the sky, letting out a cold snort.
"Playing tricks and deception."
"I'd like to see what tricks you can come up with in three days."
She harbored deep resentment towards the mysterious force that had pushed her down to third place.
If it weren't for this list, how could that bastard Qianyu have taken advantage of it and seized his power?
Just then, the rankings changed, and the power rankings were launched.
Hu Liena, who had been following Bibi Dong and was also filled with resentment, suddenly brightened up.
She quickly moved closer to Bibi Dong, her tone both ingratiating and eager.
"Teacher, look!"
"It's a power ranking!"
"Assess individual abilities!"
Hu Liena raised her voice a few decibels, seemingly trying to dispel the gloom from before.
"Teacher, you possess twin martial souls and are a level 99 peerless Douluo."
"More importantly, you are undergoing the examination of the Rakshasa God's lineage."
"In terms of individual combat strength, besides that old codger Qian Daoliu, who else in this world can rival you?"
The more Hu Liena listened, the more she realized how reasonable his words made, and hope rekindled in her eyes.
"With your abilities, teacher, you're sure to be in the top five!"
"Even a top-three finish is still uncertain!"
Hearing her disciple's words, Bibi Dong's ashen face softened slightly.
She slightly raised her chin, regaining some of her former arrogance.
"That's natural."
Bibi Dong sneered inwardly.
Although she lost the authority of the Pope, her power was real.
The power of the Rakshasa God, combined with the foundation of her twin martial souls, gave her absolute confidence.
"Even Poseidon of Poseidon Island, I am not necessarily afraid of her now."
"Since this is a ranking of strength, let the world see who the real powerhouse is."
Just then, a burst of golden light shone from the sky.
The name of the first person on the list began to slowly emerge.
Everyone held their breath.
Bibi Dong, in particular, stared intently at the sky, hoping to see someone else's name.
Since the results are revealed in reverse order, the later the results appear, the higher the ranking.
However, the next second...
Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.
[Ranked 15th on the Douluo Power Ranking!]
A line of large characters clearly came into view.
Immediately afterwards, that name, which she knew all too well, appeared on the list.
[Bibi Dong!]
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Bibi Dong's expression froze instantly. The arrogance that had just risen on her face now looked like she had been slapped hard, making her look particularly ridiculous.
Descriptions of her began to appear on the sky.
Bibi Dong: Former Pope of the Spirit Hall, possessor of twin martial souls (Death Spider Emperor, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor).
[Cultivation Level: Level 99 Peerless Douluo (Demigod)]
[Evaluation: The inheritor of the Rakshasa God, ruthless and exceptionally talented, but due to too many distracting thoughts and incomplete divine trials, his combat strength is currently at the bottom tier.]
Immediately afterwards, a streak of light fell from the sky.
[Reward: Rakshasa God Power Affinity increased by 5%, one Soul Repair Pill.]
The light enveloped Bibi Dong; it was indeed a real reward.
She could feel the surge of Rakshasa divine power within her body, and even some wounds deep within her soul were healing.
but.
Bibi Dong was not happy at all.
She trembled all over, her face turning from pale to white, and then from white to red.
That was an expression of extreme shame and indignation.
"Fifteenth place...?"
Bibi Dong's voice trembled, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"I'm only in fifteenth place?!"
How is that possible?
She was a peerless Douluo of level ninety-nine, just one step away from becoming a god.
How come it's at the very bottom of this list?
There were only fifteen people to be counted, and she was at the very bottom?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Hu Liena, who was standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise, covered her mouth with both hands, and stared wide-eyed.
"Is there a mistake in this list?"
"How could the teacher only be ranked fifteenth?"
"Didn't even make the top ten?"
This completely overturned her understanding.
In her mind, teachers were synonymous with invincibility.
But now, this bloody ranking is like a heavy hammer, smashing hard into the faces of the master and apprentice.
Bibi Dong felt the gazes directed at her from all around.
Those gazes no longer seemed to hold reverence, but were instead filled with mockery and ridicule.
She felt a burning pain on her face.
She was just thinking about getting into the top five or even the top three.
Reality, however, slapped her hard in the face.
As a former pope and one of the most powerful women on the continent, she was surprisingly ranked last in terms of strength.
This is not just a matter of low ranking.
This is a humiliation.
This is a blatant insult to one's character!
"Last-place..."
"I'd rather not have been on the list at all!"
Bibi Dong roared wildly in her heart.
If she wasn't on the list, she could deceive herself by saying that the list was unfair or that it wasn't counted.
But now that it's on the list, it's in last place.
This means that in the eyes of the world, Bibi Dong is the weakest among this group of top experts!
"Unofficial ranking!"
Bibi Dong suddenly raised her head and roared at the sky.
"This is definitely an unofficial ranking!"
"This list is unfair! I refuse to accept it!"
Her voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the empty square, yet sounding somewhat desolate.
Because Tianmu completely ignored her impotent rage.
