Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 222 The Ranking of Cultivation Techniques and Secret Skills, Tang San's Panic

Beidou Academy.

As Lu Xiao sensed the increasingly refined and agile sword intent emanating from the God-Slaying Sword, which had become even more perfect and fluid due to his ascent to the top of the rankings, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Unlimited growth... it really is the most suitable characteristic for me."

He lightly flicked the sword with his fingertips, producing a clear and melodious dragon's roar.

When he received that seemingly ordinary artifact from the Heavenly Curtain Rewards, even he hadn't expected its potential to be so astonishing.

During this period, he has been generously investing all sorts of rare and precious iron obtained from system check-ins, and even a trace of the purest primordial vitality extracted from the core of the ancient tree of life, into nurturing the sword.

Until recently, after devouring an entire piece of "Immortal Star Essence," a reward obtained from system check-ins, which came from the depths of the star core.

The God-Slaying Sword finally underwent a qualitative change, its spirit fully awakened, and it entered the realm of super artifacts.

Its "god-slaying" characteristic also awakens and reaches a state of perfection.

"Now that we have reached the top and gained the approval of the source, our path of evolution will be smoother."

"The Abyss Plane... might also provide some good 'nourishment'."

Lu Xiao gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

However, before the people of Douluo Continent could fully recover from the ultimate shock of the final ranking of the Divine Artifact Ranking,

"Boom boom boom!"

Above the heavens, another strange change occurs!
The golden light of the Divine Artifact Ranking has not yet completely dissipated.

The vast sky rippled once again.

This time, what appeared was no longer a phantom of a weapon or a chaotic roulette wheel.

Instead, they were countless golden runes that shimmered with the light of wisdom and flowed with mysterious trajectories!
They constantly combine, disassemble, and evolve!
It exudes a unique Daoist charm that is completely different from the list of divine artifacts, and is related to knowledge, inheritance and inner sublimation.

Finally, all the runes converged towards the center of the sky, coalescing into five ancient, vigorous, and naturally elegant gilded characters.

[Ranking of Kung Fu Techniques and Secret Skills]

A solemn celestial voice then arose, its tone peaceful yet containing the power to inspire wisdom.

[The heavens are moved by the thought that the inheritance of civilization must not be neglected. Therefore, we hereby establish the Ranking of Cultivation Methods and Secret Techniques, which includes the ten most valuable, promising, and representative cultivation methods and combat techniques of the Douluo Continent.]

The evaluation criteria cover the cultivation method's intent, training efficiency, potential ceiling, combat effectiveness, popularization value, and originality. Those who make the list will receive celestial blessings to help them perfect their inheritance and benefit all living beings.

"Ranking of Cultivation Techniques and Secret Skills!"

"It's no longer a divine artifact, but a cultivation technique and combat skill!"

"Top ten meditation techniques and self-created soul skills? This... this is much more relevant to ordinary soul masters than the artifact ranking!"

"Quick! See who's on the list! Maybe it's one of our sect's closely guarded secrets!"

"The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Haotian Sect is definitely famous! And the Distraction Control Technique of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also well-known!"

"The Spirit Hall has a long and rich heritage, so its Angelic Meditation Method must be among the best!"

"Don't forget the soul skills created by those geniuses, such as Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword Technique..."

"..."

The entire continent instantly broke free from its fear and awe of the God-Slaying Sword.

It has sparked a new round of heated discussion and anticipation.

For the vast majority of Soul Masters, divine artifacts are too high a level to be attained.

But cultivation techniques and soul skills are the foundation of their daily training and livelihood!

This list will undoubtedly be more captivating to them.

Major powers have also paid close attention to this.

Cultivation techniques are the foundation of a power, while secret skills are its sharpest edge.

Making the list not only means honor and rewards from the Sky Screen, but it can also attract more talented people to join, with far-reaching impact.

……

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes were burning: "Our sect's Distraction Control Secret Technique is the supreme manual for support-type Soul Masters, and it may have a chance to be listed."

"Uncle Jian, your Seven Kill Sword Technique..."

A glint of sword intent appeared in Chen Xin's eyes: "The Seven Kill Sword Technique is the culmination of my life's work. It is fierce and ruthless, and I believe it is no less powerful than any top-tier offensive combat technique."

"Let's see how the heavens judge."

……

Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong's purple eyes flashed: "The many attack spirit skills secretly passed down in the Papal Palace... and those I comprehended during my Rakshasa God Trial..."

These are the core legacies of the Spirit Hall.

……

Haotian Sect.

Although Tang Chen had let go of his obsession, he was still moved when he heard about Haotian's ultimate techniques such as "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" and "Great Sumeru Hammer".

A hint of reminiscence and pride still flickered in his eyes.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, the four lower sects, various kingdoms and empires, and even some hidden sects all began to look forward to their own unique skills coming to the fore.

……

However, in the village of Holy Souls outside Nottingham.

Inside that simple house.

Tang San's face turned deathly pale the moment he heard the words "Ranking of Cultivation Techniques and Secret Skills," and fine beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"Mysterious Heaven Skill... Purple Demon Eye... Ghostly Shadow Tracking... Crane Control and Dragon Capture... Mysterious Jade Hand..."

His lips trembled slightly, his heart filled with turmoil.

These unique skills from another world are his greatest secret and reliance, and the foundation upon which he firmly believes he is different from others.

He was always very careful and never taught them completely to anyone, for fear of arousing suspicion.

But now, the Sky Screen wants to collect all the cultivation techniques and secret skills of "the entire Douluo Star"!

The power of this canopy is mysterious and unpredictable; it can even reveal the secrets of divine artifacts and the invasion of the abyss.

How could I possibly hide this inheritance from another world?
Once techniques like Xuan Tian Gong are listed, how will Tian Mu explain their origins?

A cultivation system from another world?

Not created by this world, yet containing a unique Daoist charm?

Did they even directly point out the Tang Clan's ultimate techniques?

At that time, the whole continent will know that he, Tang San, possesses extraordinary skills and techniques unlike anything in this world!

The thought of the consequences sent chills down Tang Sanguang's spine.

The Spirit Hall will never let him go, and other forces will pounce like sharks smelling blood.

He will be captured, studied, and interrogated about all the secrets of the cultivation technique, and may even be dissected to explore the root cause of his soul mutation!

The Clear Sky Sect and twin martial soul geniuses are nothing compared to the immense temptation and potential threat of this kind of interdimensional inheritance!
Her father is missing, the teachers have limited resources, and Xiao Wu's identity is sensitive...

He will find himself in a desperate situation where he is surrounded by enemies and has no one to help him!

"No! We absolutely can't stay here!"

Tang San suddenly stood up, his eyes scanning the old house, which was full of memories but was now empty, with a flustered look.

Holy Soul Village is too conspicuous; his return here was already traceable.

The list released by the Sky Curtain won't wait for anyone; we must leave immediately and find a more secluded place to hide.

Even...think of a way to leave Douluo Continent?

He frantically began packing his meager belongings, his heart pounding.

His mind raced, calculating possible hiding places and escape routes.

Eyes of ice and fire?
The poison array there might provide temporary relief, but it's not a long-term solution, and it's too easy for people to associate it with other things.

Deep in the ocean?

The far north?

Or... risk infiltrating a place where a divine position is inherited?

Just as Tang San was in a state of panic and preparing to flee in a hurry.

The golden runes above the sky began to flow and arrange themselves once more.

The official announcement of the ranking of martial arts techniques and secret skills!

it has started!

All eyes were drawn to it, and everyone held their breath in anticipation.

Tang San's feet seemed rooted to the ground; he was terrified of seeing that name.

He couldn't help but stare intently at the sky, clinging to a sliver of hope: "Perhaps it's not... ranked that high?"
"Or...wouldn't the sky reveal its source?"
