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

Chapter 117 The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is in an uproar, and the Spirit Hall is on alert.
"Ten...seventeenth place?! Sword Douluo Chen Xin?!"

"Level 99! Another level 99 Peerless Douluo! My god, are all the others on this list level 99?!"

"Eight black and one red! His spirit ring configuration has also been upgraded to eight black and one red! Just like the previous Golden Crocodile Douluo!"

"The Seven Kill Sword! The best in offense! Even the Clear Sky Hammer might not be able to defeat it in terms of pure offensive power!"

"The Immortal Execution Sword Soul Bone! It even has spell-breaking and soul-splitting effects? This...this is practically a soul bone born for slaughter!"

"Sword Heart Clarity! A permanent 50% increase in focus and control? For a Soul Master like him who focuses on extreme attack, this is an enormous boost!"

"The God-Slaying Sword Talisman?! It's like his trump card for surviving a full-force attack? This... this reward is too incredible!"

Exclamations of alarm once again swept across the continent like a tsunami.

If Golden Crocodile Douluo displayed the ultimate in strength and defense, then Sword Douluo Chen Xin is now displaying the pinnacle of attack and speed!
The terrifying soul ring configuration, the unheard-of god-level soul bone, and the permanent status rewards that were practically a bug were all shocking everyone's nerves!
What weighed heavily on the hearts of countless people was that the Sword Douluo, who was number one in attack and defense, wielding the Seven Kill Sword and having advanced to the level 99 Peerless Douluo, could only rank seventeenth!
This fact, like a massive boulder, weighed heavily on many self-proclaimed powerful Soul Masters, making it hard for them to breathe.

They finally realized just how incredibly valuable this [Douluo Power Ranking] truly was.

The competition for rankings on it is incredibly fierce and beyond imagination!

……

Honkai Impact Academy, inside the VIP box.

When Chen Xin's name, image, and the horrifying information appeared on the screen, the private room fell into a brief, deathly silence.

Ning Fengzhi abruptly stood up from his seat, remained silent for a moment before letting out a long sigh, still dissatisfied:

"I had a feeling when I saw Golden Crocodile Douluo's ranking. I didn't expect that Uncle Jian, a level 99 peerless Douluo, would only be ranked seventeenth!"

Ning Rongrong, standing beside him, jumped up excitedly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with delight. She tugged at her father's sleeve and exclaimed joyfully:

"Dad! Grandpa Jian... he's become so powerful! Level 99! And he has so many amazing rewards!"

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, first widened his eyes, then slapped his thigh hard, making a deafening sound. His face was filled with ecstatic joy, and he laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! You old bastard! You're something else! Seventeenth place, well deserved! Let's see how those beasts can be arrogant now!"

Although he called her "old bastard" with his mouth, the relief and excitement in his eyes were extremely sincere.

Meanwhile, Chen Xin, the person in question, remained in the posture of holding the Seven Kill Sword.

But in his calm, deep purple eyes, it seemed as if thousands of sword shadows flashed, and his already sharp aura emanated from him.

At this moment, it is like a divine weapon drawn from its sheath, ready to pierce the sky!

He slowly raised his left hand, feeling the immense sword intent and killing laws contained within the Zhuxian Sword Soul Bone, as well as the crystal-clear information in his mind about the state of Sword Heart Clarity and the God-Slaying Sword Talisman. Even with his century of cultivation, he couldn't help but feel his heart surge with emotion at this moment.

"Fengzhi, Rongrong, old bones..."

Chen Xin spoke slowly, his voice still calm, yet carrying an unprecedented certainty and sharpness.

"With this opportunity, I, Chen Xin, will surely use the sword in my hand to protect the sect and slay all invading enemies!"

His words, carried through the private room, seemed to echo across the entire continent, exuding unparalleled confidence and determination.

Almost the instant he finished speaking— Boom!
A golden beam of light pierced through the void, ignoring any barriers of the Honkai Academy, and precisely descended into this VIP box, completely enveloping Chen Xin!

"Om-!"

The Seven Kill Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and floated above Chen Xin's head on its own. The nine soul rings, eight black and one red, lit up in turn like nine divine rings, especially the blood red soul ring, which shone brightly!

His left sleeve moved without wind, and countless mysterious sword patterns could be vaguely seen flowing beneath his skin, exuding a terrifying aura of slaying immortals and gods!
With the sudden enhancement of his Sword Heart Clarity state, his entire aura became purer and more dangerous, as if he were the sword and the sword were him, without any impurities.

An ancient sword talisman, no bigger than the palm of his hand, yet seemingly containing a miniature world of swords, quietly fell into his palm—it was the God-Slaying Sword Talisman!
The whole process lasted for more than ten breaths. When the beam of light dissipated, Chen Xin was still the same Chen Xin, but in the eyes of all the powerful people with keen senses, he had been reborn!
It's like a divine sword that was originally incredibly sharp. After being forged and tempered countless times, it finally sheds the last trace of its ordinary nature and unleashes its unparalleled brilliance!
"Congratulations, Uncle Jian (Grandpa Jian)!"

Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong spoke in unison, their faces beaming with uncontrollable joy.

Gu Rong punched Chen Xin's shoulder hard and grinned:
"Goodness, now I can finally relax a little. From now on, you can go first and I'll take the hits from behind. If I don't like someone, I'll just fucking kill them!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the main branch of the sect.

The disciples who remained at the sect stared blankly at the familiar figure and terrifying data in the sky for a moment, and then burst into earth-shattering cheers!

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

"Seventeenth place! Level 99 Peerless Douluo!"

"An eight-black-one-red soul ring ratio! My god! Elder Jian truly lives up to his reputation as the face of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"Conquest is our greatest strength! Let's see who dares to underestimate our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from now on!"

"Elder Jian is mighty!"

The overwhelming joy erupted like a volcano, instantly igniting the entire sect.

The sense of oppression brought about by Bone Douluo's ranking loss and Golden Crocodile Douluo's powerful strength has been completely washed away by this great glory and excitement!

Sword Douluo's strong debut on the list has undoubtedly given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a powerful boost!
Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong sat high on her throne, looking at Chen Xin's sharp image and generous rewards on the sky. Her phoenix eyes flashed with cold light, and the fingers holding the scepter tightened slightly.

"Chen Xin... has actually come to this."

Her voice was icy, with a hint of barely perceptible apprehension, "Level ninety-nine, Immortal-Slaying Soul Bone, Sword Heart Clarity... The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is quite lucky."

She knew very well what a level 99 Sword Dao Douluo with the ultimate attack power meant.

This is not merely an improvement in personal strength, but a factor powerful enough to influence the balance of power on the continent!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a close relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire. The rise and fall of the two sides is definitely not a good thing for the Spirit Hall's hegemony.

"Moon Gate, Ghostly Appearance," she ordered coldly. "Our strategy against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs to be reassessed, especially regarding Sword Douluo Chen Xin!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo bowed in response, their expressions equally solemn.
