Douluo Continent: Just became a demigod, and was exposed by the heavens.

Chapter 5 Zhao Wuji: Master, I don't think Tang San might actually make the list.
“That’s right!” another elder chimed in. “Our Clear Sky Hammer is recognized as the number one weapon spirit on the continent! Even the Seven Kill Sword of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is definitely inferior to our Clear Sky Hammer in terms of spirit quality!”

The other elders nodded in agreement: "That's right, the first thing we look at on this list is the quality of the martial soul, which is definitely related to innate soul power."

Then, considering the level of development, our Haotian Sect possesses a series of unique secret techniques, which will undoubtedly defeat the Seven Kill Sword!

However, these elders overlooked one point: the development process did include self-created soul skills, but only those developed based on martial souls.

Secret techniques like exploding rings definitely don't count.

While listening to the elders' discussion, Tang Xiao was thinking about something else entirely.

If I make the list, who will it be?

Could it be Tang Hao?
Or.
If my grandfather were still alive, then he should be the one on the list, right?

If my grandfather's name is not on the list for a long time, can we conclude that he has passed away?
Poseidon Island.

The vast expanse of blue waves blends seamlessly with the sky.

In front of the Temple of Poseidon, the high priestess Poseidon, dressed in a long blue dress, had her long hair blowing in the sea breeze, making her look like a fairy about to ride the wind away.

Beside her stood the seven Holy Pillar Guardian Douluos of Seagod Island, who stood respectfully.

The leading Sea Dragon Douluo looked at the sky with reverence and asked Poseidon, "High Priest, what kind of power do you think this sky is? Could it be the work of some unknown deity?"

Poseidon's expression turned solemn as he slowly shook his head: "As far as I know, even the supreme Sea God could not possibly perform such a miracle that covers the entire continent. I wonder if the Sea God has sensed the existence of this power."

Sea Dragon Douluo continued, his tone filled with pride: "High Priest, your martial soul is a god-level Sea God martial soul. Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, apart from the six-winged angel martial soul possessed by Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall, there is probably no third who can compare with you."

"The top spot on this Martial Soul Ranking will surely be yours! I wonder what kind of generous reward Heaven will bestow upon you then."

Upon hearing the word "reward," Poseidon's heart, which had been dormant for nearly a century, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

As the High Priestess of the Sea God, she had long since given up on any thoughts of increasing her cultivation level.

Because from the moment she accepted the Sea God's Martial Soul, her life was destined to be dedicated to the Sea God and to protect this island.

Having enjoyed the supreme glory and power bestowed upon her by the Sea God, she must now fulfill the duties befitting a High Priestess.

Only in the quiet of the night would she sometimes think, what if she hadn't accepted this divinely bestowed martial soul, but instead relied on her own abilities to strive for the position of Peerless Douluo?

Does she have the chance, like Tang Chen, to find a suitable divine inheritance for herself?

But soon, she smiled helplessly and suppressed this unrealistic fantasy.

This is ultimately just wishful thinking.

As a resident of Poseidon Island, this was her destiny.

When she reached a certain age, she had to undergo her own assessment. The assessment she received was the Red-level assessment, symbolizing the High Priest of Seagod Island, and she obtained the Seagod Martial Soul.

She had no right to refuse.

Shrek Academy. Unlike the original story, because Lin Yuan intercepted Xiao Wu and the others, only Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar remain as students at Shrek Academy.

Not long ago, Tang San and Oscar obtained their third spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, unlike in the original story, without the influence of Xiao Wu and Er Ming, Tang San encountered the injured Human-Faced Demon Spider later on and, with the help of Zhao Wuji, killed it, but did not choose to absorb it.

It also reminded Meng Yiran and the others that the age of this human-faced demon spider had long exceeded the theoretical limit mentioned by their teacher.

This wasn't because Tang San was kind-hearted; rather, it was because they had taken advantage of the Dragon Lord's absence to snatch the Phoenix Tail Crested Snake that Meng Yiran had her eye on.

This reminder has evened things out.

Otherwise, not long after killing the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the Dragon Duke and Snake Queen appeared together, and Zhao Wuji was no match for them at all.

Flander looked at the sky and chuckled: "Little monsters, your martial souls are all quite good. Even if your cultivation levels are a bit low now, you still have a chance to make it onto the list based on the quality of your martial souls!"

"Especially Oscar, you are the first food-type Soul Master on the continent with innate full Soul Power!"

Oscar's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say much. Let's hope so.

Actually, compared to Oscar, both Flander and Yu Xiaogang felt that Tang San had a better chance of being on the list.

After all, although he is a food-type soul master with innate full soul power, the Clear Sky Hammer with innate full soul power is still more oppressive.

Flander transmitted his voice to Yu Xiaogang: "Xiaogang, if Xiao San's Clear Sky Hammer makes the list, then his identity and twin martial soul talent will be impossible to hide."

Yu Xiaogang's expression was also solemn: "You're right. If the Spirit Hall finds out about Xiao San's existence and that he received a reward, it will probably attract a hunt immediately!"

"However, let's not rush things now. With the quality of the Clear Sky Hammer, it must be in the top three. Let's hold back for now and see if this list will reveal the positions of those on the list."

Zhao Wuji, standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something and said with some worry, "Master, do you think it's possible that Tang San might not make the list? Judging by the power of the Clear Sky Hammer, I feel his father is far stronger than Tang San."

On the very night that Tang San and his friends first entered the academy, Zhao Wuji experienced firsthand the power of Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.

Without using any soul power, he beat him to a pulp using only his martial soul.

Although Tang San possesses the talent of twin martial souls, his Clear Sky Hammer has even greater potential for development.

However, what ranks higher than potential is the quality of the martial soul!

From his direct observation, Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, which was full of killing intent, was definitely of higher quality than Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer!

Otherwise, when Tang San revealed his small Clear Sky Hammer during the assessment, he wouldn't have explained what the small hammer was for.

At first glance, it's just an ordinary forging hammer, lacking any of the imposing presence that the Haotian Hammer should have!
Of course, this might also be because his Clear Sky Hammer didn't have any spirit rings attached.

Zhao Wuji thought to himself.

Yu Xiaogang retorted, "Nonsense! This list states that it's a comprehensive evaluation, so there's no ranking. According to you, wouldn't everyone on the list be a powerful old monster? Wouldn't young people have no chance at all?"
