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

Chapter 13 The Invincible Golden Crocodile King on Land, Yu Yuanzhen with a Shattered Dao Heart

Deep within the Hall of Worship in Wuhun City.

"Roar--!!!"

A dazzling pillar of light, like molten gold, suddenly erupted from the depths of the hall and shot straight into the sky!
Amidst the light, an extremely robust and imposing old man with a bristling beard and hair, and a face as if cast in gold, stood tall—it was none other than Golden Crocodile Douluo!
He was surrounded by nine spirit rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red! The last one was a vibrant, ten-thousand-year spirit ring!
With the infusion of soul power bestowed by Heaven, his immense soul power, which had been stuck at the peak of level ninety-eight for countless years, erupted like a volcano that had been accumulating for tens of thousands of years!
He broke through that indestructible barrier with unstoppable momentum and stepped into the realm of the peerless Douluo at level ninety-nine!
Subsequently, the reward of increasing the age of all spirit rings by 30,000 years followed, making the final spirit ring configuration a terrifying eight black and one red, and the overall strength increased by more than just a little bit!
"Hahahaha! Level ninety-nine! I have finally... finally reached this level! I have finally felt it! This is the true power of the Golden Crocodile King!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, the sound waves rolling and shaking the entire Hall of Worship!

His joy and excitement were palpable!
This level of soul power meant far more to him than any soul bone artifact!

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly solid external soul bone phantom, resembling a golden spine, merged into his spine!
In an instant, his already imposing body seemed to expand even further, his muscles bulging, exuding an explosive sense of power!
Immediately, he unleashed the terrifying pressure of a level 99 peerless Douluo without any concealment, mixed with the primordial aura of the Golden Crocodile King.

Through the sky, the powerful figures across the entire continent felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by a prehistoric beast!
"drink!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo clenched his fists, his muscles bulging, and dark golden light flowed across his body. He stomped his foot hard on the ground!
Boom——! ! !
The entire Spirit City seemed to tremble violently!
Centered on the offering hall, an invisible, terrifying shockwave spread out, causing the ground to undulate like waves.

If it weren't for the protection of the angels, half of the buildings in Wuhun City would have been destroyed in this short time!

"Second brother, control your power."

Qian Daoliu's calm voice came through, carrying a hint of kind reminder.

"Brother, I was too excited and couldn't control my strength."

Golden Crocodile Douluo grinned, then quickly concealed his aura.

But the arrogance and excitement on his face remained undiminished. He bowed slightly in the direction of Qian Daoliu, his voice booming like thunder:
"Brother, now that we two brothers are here, two peerless Douluo, what worries do we have about the Spirit Hall's ambitions not being realized! I am willing to be the vanguard and crush all the ants that dare to stand in our way!"

"Don't rush. We can discuss this matter after the full list of Martial Soul Rankings is released. You are only ranked fourteenth now, so don't underestimate anyone in the world," Qian Daoliu replied calmly.

Inside the Hall of Offerings, the other offerings felt the imposing aura emanating from Golden Crocodile Douluo, which was no less powerful than that of Grand Offering Qian Daoliu, and their faces showed shock and complex emotions.

Qianjun Douluo sighed, "Congratulations, Second Brother, you have achieved your wish and your strength has increased even further!"

The Demon-Slaying Douluo murmured, "Level ninety-nine... Senior Golden Crocodile has really caught up with the Grand Elder..."

The three worshippers, Qingluan, Xiongshi, and Guangling, also had different expressions, feeling happy for their companion but also feeling unprecedented pressure.

The Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship now has two publicly known level 99 Peerless Douluo!

……

The situation on the mainland was instantly in an uproar!
"The Golden Crocodile King! He's the Second Elder of the Spirit Hall!"

"Level 99! Another peerless Douluo has been born!"

"External Soul Bone! Domain-type Soul Skill! This reward is terrifying!"

"The Spirit Hall's resources... are truly terrifying!"

"If the fourteenth place is this powerful, then those ahead of them..."

Exclamations of surprise, fear, and incredulous discussions swept across every corner of the continent.

The renewed surge in the Spirit Hall's high-end combat power is extremely bad news for all non-Spirit Hall forces.

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong felt the overwhelming, domineering pressure emanating from the Hall of Worship, her brows furrowing slightly, a layer of frost settling over her exquisite face. "Golden Crocodile... that old codger, of all times, he had to come at this time..."

A strong sense of crisis and anger welled up inside her.

The power of the Hall of Worship has surged again due to the Golden List, which has increased the constraints on her as Pope.

"Once the list of successful candidates is compiled, I will go into seclusion to focus on completing the Rakshasa God Test and speed up the process!"

Bibi Dong's eyes shone with a brilliant purple light, and she felt a sense of urgency.

……

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong all wore extremely solemn expressions.

Ning Fengzhi's expression turned solemn: "The Golden Crocodile King... the second elder of the Spirit Hall! His spirit is so powerful, ranking even above Uncle Bone!"

Bone Douluo Gu Rong sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the sky and snorted, "Hmph! This old crocodile is lucky; he does have some strength!"

"However, now that I have wings and my Bone Dragon Martial Soul can easily traverse space, even if his power is strong, it won't be so easy for him to touch me!"

Gu Rong's words were not just empty boasting. His Bone Dragon's unique spatial power was the nemesis of a big, dumb martial soul like the Golden Crocodile King!
Even in a battle against a higher-level opponent, they wouldn't be immediately defeated.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's gaze was like a sword, and his body was filled with sword energy: "The ultimate in strength and defense, and he has also obtained a domain. This is indeed a formidable opponent for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

“Feng Zhi, if there is a conflict with the Spirit Hall in the future, this person must be controlled by me and Old Bones working together.”

"Yes, it's all thanks to the two of you guarding our sect. Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have been destroyed by the Spirit Hall more than ten years ago."

Ning Fengzhi's gentle face was full of worry: "These are turbulent times. The three sects must unite more closely in order to have a chance to survive in these stormy times."

……

Haotian Sect.

Tang Xiao and the elders stared silently at the sky, the atmosphere heavy with tension.

“The Golden Crocodile King… the hidden power of the Spirit Hall is indeed unfathomable,” an elder said in a hoarse voice.

"Such power at fourteenth place... My Clear Sky Hammer..." Another elder didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood the unspoken message. Clear Sky Hammer was ranked twentieth, and the gap between it and the martial souls ahead of it seemed even greater than expected.

Tang Xiao clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, a strong sense of humiliation and urgency welling up inside him.

……

Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Yu Yuanzhen's face was ashen. He looked at the domineering golden crocodile king phantom in the sky and listened to the crocodile's roar that resounded through his soul. The last bit of hope in his heart was completely shattered.

"Fourteenth place, the Golden Crocodile King, the pinnacle of strength and defense..."

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with bitterness, "I, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, dared to call myself the number one beast spirit on the continent, but I can't even make it into the top twenty. Heh... Hahahahaha..."

He suddenly let out a mournful laugh, filled with self-mockery and despair, because he knew all too well that the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul was far more powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of his clan.

Now that things have come to this, it is an undeniable fact that Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex failed to make the list. The glory of his family seems to have been shrouded in a thick layer of dust in his hands, which is truly regrettable.
