Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 101: A level 97 peak Douluo only ranked twentieth? That's too much!
These already powerful teachers from another world, with the help of the Douluo Golden List and Zhang Yi, are even stronger than before, and are eager for a truly exhilarating battle to test themselves.

Looking at the soaring fighting spirit of his teachers and students, Zhang Yi smiled faintly. He said loudly, "The Heavenly Dao has set up this ranking list to encourage and test us. My Collapse Academy neither provokes trouble nor fears it. Now that we have this platform, you are all free to act."

His gaze swept over the crowd, carrying both encouragement and admonition:
"Remember, the purpose of fighting is not only to compete for rankings and rewards, but also to hone yourself, verify what you have learned, and learn from others. The mindset of a strong person is to be neither arrogant in victory nor discouraged in defeat."

"In three days, I will make the name of my Honkai Academy resound throughout the Douluo Arena!"

"Yes, Dean!" The crowd responded in unison, their voices soaring into the sky, their fighting spirit soaring!
……

The Douluo Power Ranking will open in three days, drawing the attention of all races!

Since the will of Heaven proclaimed the [Douluo Strongest Ranking] and the [Douluo Arena] rules that allow anyone to fight to the death, regardless of their fate.

The entire Douluo Continent was as if it had been thrown into a giant furnace.

Over three days, hatred, ambition, longing, dignity... all sorts of emotions and desires were compressed and fermented to the extreme, just waiting for the moment of final ignition.

Over the past three days, various events have unfolded across mainland China.

Throughout human territory, on the roads leading to various places of opportunity, Soul Masters are constantly on the move, and conflicts and struggles occur frequently.

Outside the Sun and Moon Ruins, the light of soul tools and the explosions of soul skills never ceased throughout the night;
In the direction of Dragon Valley, the thunder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family clashed with the roar of the Star Dou Beast from a distance.
The entrance to the Killing City is like a greedy maw, devouring desperate outlaws filled with dreams and despair.

Even the royal families of the two great empires poured their national treasuries into an attempt to enhance the strength of their elite warriors at the last minute.

In the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, the territory of the Soul Beasts, the aura of ferocious beasts rises and falls, carrying primal savagery and the patience of those waiting to be hunted.

The wind and snow in the far north are even more frigid, as if brewing a judgment that will freeze everything.

Deep within the endless ocean, undercurrents surged, and a massive shadow lurked in the depths, its gaze fixed on the continent.

Compared to the eagerness of humans, the spirit beasts appear more composed. The accumulation of long years has given them an almost obsessive confidence in their own power.

The three-day period finally came to an end amidst countless tense nerves.

At noon, the blazing sun shone brightly, yet it could not conceal the magnificent divine power that descended from the heavens!

“Buzz——!!!”

The golden scroll that stretched across the sky and earth trembled violently, and golden light, more intense than ever before, tore through the clouds!

The five large characters of "[Douluo Power Ranking]" were imprinted in the void, as if formed by billions of sword energies, and also imprinted in the depths of the souls of all living beings!

The mighty voice of Heaven was no longer a peaceful proclamation, but rather like a battle horn, carrying the murderous aura of clashing metal, resounding throughout the universe:

[Rest period is over!]

[The Douluo Continent Power Ranking will be released soon!]

[Douluo Arena, now open!]

[In the name of war, with blood as the ladder! Only those who reach the pinnacle are the strongest!]

"coming!"

"It finally begins!"

"The Power Ranking! I wonder where I'll rank?"

"Look! The list is about to appear!"

The entire continent was plunged into an extreme clamor followed by a deathly silence at this moment.

From the deep palace of the Heavenly Dou Imperial City to the outposts on the border of the Star Luo Kingdom, from the pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the mountain gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

From the Pope's Palace of the Spirit Hall to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, countless gazes, filled with tension, anticipation, fear, and longing, were fixed on the radiant sky!
Golden divine light gathered and swirled wildly at the top of the scroll.

Finally, like a waterfall cascading down, at the twentieth position, which symbolizes the start of the list, it solidified into a line of incredibly clear handwriting, containing a powerful surge of energy.

At the same time, the scene shifted, revealing a majestic figure shrouded in a pale white bone armor, with illusory bone wings extending from its back. Accompanying this figure was detailed information displayed before countless beings—

[Douluo Power Ranking, 20th Place - Gu Rong]

……

"boom--!!!"

The mainland was in an uproar! A tsunami of voices rose from all directions!
"Twentieth place! It's actually that Bone Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?!"

"Level 97! My god, and that's only 20th place?!"

"Look at those spirit rings! Eight ten-thousand-year spirit rings! One over one hundred thousand years! Is this... is this really a configuration that a normal human could possess?"

"External soul bone! Spatial teleportation! How can we fight him? We can't even touch him!"

"【Immortal Bone Armor】, increases defense by half and can even reflect damage?! This is practically a turtle shell plus a hedgehog's hide!"

"[Spatial Anchoring Talisman]! This thing is terrifying; it's a nightmare for space-type Soul Masters!"

"Bone Douluo is already this strong and he's only ranked twentieth? What kind of monsters are those ahead of him?!"

A cacophony of gasps, gasps of horror, and gasps of astonishment filled the air.

Countless Soul Masters, especially those Soul Douluo and even those newly promoted to Title Douluo level, felt only despair and powerlessness as they looked at the outrageous Soul Ring ratios and abnormal rewards on the sky.

This is completely beyond their understanding of what a "strong person" is!

……

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sect Plaza.

When the name and image of the ancient banyan tree appeared on the sky, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School erupted in deafening cheers!

"It's Elder Bone! Elder Bone is on the list!"

"Twentieth place! A powerful figure from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has reached the top of the Golden Ranking!"

The disciples were so excited that their faces flushed, and they felt a great sense of honor.

They gazed at the majestic bone dragon silhouette in the sky, their eyes filled with fervor and worship.
