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

Chapter 12, ranked fourteenth on the Martial Soul Ranking, a true top-tier beast martial soul!

Chen Xin, clutching the Seven Kill Sword, watched his old friend's smug expressionlessly. A flicker of genuine joy did flash deep in his eyes, but his words were utterly ruthless:
"Hmph, it's just a pair of flapping wings, it doesn't mean anything."

"The fact that the rankings came out early means that you're ranked lower than me. Once my rankings are released, I'll tear your broken bones apart in no time!"

"Bullshit! Old Swordsman, you're asking for it!"

Gu Rong's defenses crumbled instantly, enraged. His soul power surged, and his Void Bone Wings unfurled behind him, instantly locking onto Chen Xin with terrifying spatial fluctuations.

"I'll lock you in a bone cage right now and make sure you never get a gold list reward in your entire life!"

As he spoke, phantom images of bone spurs appeared all over his body, and he was actually about to make a move!

"Uncle Bone! Uncle Sword! You absolutely mustn't!"

Ning Fengzhi was so frightened he almost jumped out of his skin. He quickly slipped between the two men, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. "Under the protection of the Heavenly Curtain, don't act rashly! Otherwise, it will be our entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that will lose face. Uncles, please consider the bigger picture!"

He had to use all his persuasion to barely separate the glaring Bone Douluo from the cold-faced Sword Douluo.

Seeing that the two had temporarily calmed down, Ning Fengzhi finally breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened his robes, and with a sincere smile on his face, solemnly bowed to Gu Rong:

"Uncle Bone, congratulations on obtaining this incredible opportunity, your strength has greatly increased, you have broken through to level ninety-seven, and you have even obtained this rare external soul bone! This is your personal good fortune, and even more so a blessing for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! With you and Uncle Sword here, our sect is as stable as Mount Tai!"

He was genuinely happy.

With Bone Douluo's strength skyrocketing, the sect's top combat power has been enhanced once again, making him an indispensable pillar of stability in the turbulent situation on the continent!
The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was instantly plunged into a sea of ​​jubilation, with disciples cheering and shouting the name of Bone Douluo!

……

The Douluo Continent is once again in turmoil!
"Bone Dragon! It's Bone Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"Fifteenth place! The bonus rewards are even more outrageous than before!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is now truly impregnable! It already has the world's number one support skill, and now its defense and spatial control have been enhanced to an epic degree!"

"The three upper sects... truly have a profound foundation!"

The atmosphere became even more oppressive within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family.

Yu Yuanzhen looked at the majestic bone dragon of the ancient banyan tree in the sky, which had gained spatial power.

Comparing his own Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, which relied solely on lightning and strength, a feeling of indescribable bitterness and panic welled up in his heart.

"Bone Dragon, spatial power, even Gu Rong's skeleton ranks fifteenth..."

His voice was hoarse, and he could hardly bear to think about that terrible possibility—the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, not even making the top twenty.

An elder slumped in a chair, his eyes vacant: "Clan leader, it seems our clan's martial spirit really didn't make the list..."

Another elder roared indignantly, "Why?! My Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is a perfect blend of offense and defense, with overwhelming dragon might. How could I be inferior to a pile of bones?!"

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in them: "Gu Rong... spatial abilities? That's quite troublesome. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is really lucky. One day their martial soul evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the next day an ancient dragon made it onto the list, ranking even higher than this Pope!"

She calculated in her mind that with the enhanced Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi's support, and Sword Douluo's attacks, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's iron triangle would indeed be even more difficult to defeat.

This added another stumbling block to her steps toward unifying the continent.

"Hmph, the power of space may be wondrous, but before the absolute divine power of the Rakshasa God, it is nothing more than a slightly stronger ant!" She quickly suppressed her displeasure and remained confident in her twin martial souls and passing the divine test.

……

Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly: "The Bone Dragon Martial Soul's ranking is not surprising. Gu Rong's development of his Martial Soul has reached a state of perfection, and this acquisition of spatial power is like adding wings to a tiger."

Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a muffled voice, "A pile of bones, no matter how much they can jump, can't stop your angelic judgment, Grand Elder!"

Qian Daoliu did not refute, but his evaluation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School subtly rose a notch in the depths of his eyes.

……

Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong was the first to jump up happily, "Grandpa Bone is so amazing! External soul bone, spatial teleportation, so cool!"

"Bone Dragon Douluo... What an amazing external soul bone!"

Ma Hongjun was so envious his eyes widened.

Dai Mubai sighed, "The world of Title Douluo is indeed beyond our comprehension. This reward is probably a lifetime's work for many people."

"We'll reach the title of Title Douluo sooner or later!"

Tang San's eyes flashed, his desire for a powerful martial soul and strength growing even stronger: "My Clear Sky Hammer will surely surpass all others in the future!"

Zhao Wuji exclaimed, "The foundation of the three upper sects is indeed extraordinary."

Yu Xiaogang fell into thought: "This enhancement of the Bone Dragon Martial Soul mainly focuses on its spatial attributes, which is highly consistent with its own mutated characteristics."

"The rewards from Heaven always seem to precisely fill in or strengthen the core potential of a martial soul. This is no coincidence; it truly lives up to its reputation as a reward from Heaven!"

……

Above the sky, the words and phantom of "Bone Dragon" slowly faded away, and the divine light emanating from the Golden List did not stop in the slightest despite the surge in the strength of Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

While various forces on the mainland were still digesting the shock brought about by the Bone Dragon Martial Soul's tremendous improvement.

A completely different, overwhelming pressure surged in like a tide!
This oppressive aura was incredibly domineering, like the roar of a prehistoric behemoth.

Golden light converged, and the phantom of a colossal creature solidified—

It resembles a giant crocodile, but its size is far beyond ordinary, and its entire body is covered with thick, shield-like dark gold scales.

A pair of vertical pupils, cold and ruthless, even as a mere phantom, exuded a terrifying sense of oppression that made one's legs go weak, as if it could devour mountains and rivers in one gulp!
