Douluo Continent: The 18-year-old Sword God was exposed by the heavens.

"It seems that this Heavenly Ranking is even more terrifying than I imagined," Golden Crocodile Douluo muttered to himself.

"Who are those eight people in front? Could they be Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, and Poseidon, those three old monsters?"

The other Spirit Hall elders also showed expressions of shock.

The expectation on his face was gradually replaced by solemnity.

They originally thought they would be in the top ten.

Even Chen Xin could only rank ninth, and they began to feel uncertain about their own chances.

Haotian Sect, a forbidden area deep in the mountains.

Tang Xiao stood outside the main hall, looking at the four characters "Sword Dao Chen Xin" on the sky, his face showing disbelief.

He then shook his head, his tone tinged with a mixture of emotion and doubt.

"Sword Dao Chen Xin, ninth place? This ranking by the Heavenly Curtain is simply outrageous."

"Chen Xin's strength far surpasses Dugu Bo's, so how could he only be one place higher?"

In his view, even he would need to go all out to withstand Chen Xin's ultimate attack.

How could it only be ranked ninth?

Tang Hao, lurking in the shadows, was dressed in black, his aura deep and composed, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his tone became serious.

"Even Chen Xin can only rank ninth. It seems that the eight experts ahead of him must be extremely powerful."

"Perhaps, Tang Chen's ancestor, Qian Daoliu, and Poseidon are all ahead of us."

His expectation was gradually replaced by solemnity.

He originally thought he could rank in the top five.

But now it seems that getting into the top five is probably more difficult than he imagined.

The disciples of the Haotian Sect were also discussing among themselves, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

"Sword Douluo Chen Xin? That's the Sword Douluo who could break through all laws with a single sword strike? How come he's only ranked ninth?"

"Yes, with his strength, how could he only be slightly better than Dugu Bo?"

"Is this canopy even reliable?"

Poseidon Island, the summit of Poseidon.

Poseidon, dressed in blue, moved with an ethereal grace, and for the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared in her usually indifferent eyes.

She shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with doubt.

"Sword Dao Chen Xin, ninth place? The ranking criteria of this Sky Curtain are becoming increasingly incomprehensible."

In her opinion, Chen Xin's strength, although not as good as hers, was definitely among the top in the continent.

Ranking ninth is indeed a bit low.

The city of slaughter, at the end of the road to hell.

Tang Chen was awakened once again by the voice from the heavens, and the aura of the Asura God stirred faintly.

He gazed at the name on the sky and let out a low roar.

His tone carried a hint of disdain and doubt.

"Kendo Chenxin? That sword-wielding kid is only ranked ninth?"

"This Heavenly Ranking is utterly laughable! If I were to go out there, I would surely be number one!"

Although he had been lost for many years, he still remembered that when he roamed the continent, Chen Xin was just a novice.

In his opinion, Chen Xin's current ranking of ninth is already quite good.

But he remained disdainful; in his heart, no one on the continent was stronger than him.

Besides these top powers, all other forces on the mainland were in a state of complete uproar.

Shock and bewilderment echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

In the imperial palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the emperor and his ministers looked at each other in shock.

"Sword Dao Chen Xin is only ranked ninth? How is that possible? He's the number one attacking Title Douluo on the continent!"

"Yes, if even he can only rank ninth, then just how powerful are the eight experts ahead of him?"

In the Star Luo Empire, the royal family and powerful figures gathered together, discussing the matter animatedly.

His face was filled with shock and fear.

"I didn't expect Sword Douluo to be ranked only ninth. It seems that the waters of the continent are deeper than we imagined."

"Each of the eight powerful figures ahead of us probably possesses the strength to crush us."

The various sects, kingdoms, and duchies, large, medium, and small, were in complete uproar.

Those Soul Masters who admired Chen Xin felt indignant on his behalf and angrily accused Tianmu of injustice.

Those sects with shallow foundations were filled with awe and fear.

They finally realized that the top experts on the continent were far more terrifying than they had imagined.

"Impossible! How could Sword Douluo only be ranked ninth? The Heavenly Curtain must be wrong!"

"Exactly! If Dugu Bo, who relies on poison, can rank tenth, then Sword Douluo should at least be in the top five!"

"Is this celestial canopy reliable? If even Lord Chenxin can only rank ninth, then wouldn't the top eight be defying the heavens?"

"I can't even imagine, I really can't imagine, just how powerful are those eight experts ahead of me?"

Countless voices of doubt, anger, and awe intertwined and resounded throughout the entire Douluo Star.

Everyone doubted the authenticity of the sky curtain and felt indignant on behalf of Chen Xin.

Even more terrifying was the fear—the fear of just how incredibly powerful the eight strong individuals ahead possessed.

Sunset Forest, within the Poison Valley.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan also heard the voice of Heaven, and their faces showed disbelief.

Dugu Bo stared at the four characters "Sword Dao Chen Xin" on the sky, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Then a complex smile appeared on his lips, his tone tinged with emotion.

"Sword Dao Chen Xin is only ranked ninth? This is truly unexpected."

In his view, Chen Xin's strength far surpassed his own.

If it were a direct confrontation, he would be no match for Chen Xin.

However, Tianmu actually ranked Chenxin ninth, only one place higher than himself.

This left him feeling both surprised and relieved.

Dugu Yan's face was full of shock.

Although she was young, she had heard of the renowned swordsman Chenxin.

They knew he was the number one Title Douluo in attacking on the continent, and the faith in the hearts of countless Soul Masters.

Surprisingly, such a strong player was only ranked ninth.

"Grandpa, how come Sword Douluo is only ranked ninth?" Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask, her tone filled with confusion.

"Isn't he supposed to be amazing? Even more amazing than you, Grandpa? How come he's only one place above you?"

Dugu Bo shook his head slightly, his tone solemn.

"I don't know. The ranking criteria for this Sky Curtain are clearly not based on individual combat strength alone."

"Chen Xin is indeed stronger than me, but he is ranked ninth, which means that the eight experts ahead of him must be even more terrifying in strength."

He was also filled with curiosity and apprehension.

Curious about who the eight powerful figures ahead were, and wary of their strength, just how extraordinary they were.

In the endless void, Lin Xiao gazed at the name on the sky, a faint smile playing on his lips.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes, but his tone remained calm.

"Sword Dao Chenxin, ninth place? That makes sense."

In his view, Chen Xin's ultimate attack, though powerful, was only confined to the rules of Douluo Star.

The strength of a level 96 peak Super Douluo is nothing in his eyes.

In terms of actual combat strength, Chen Xin is indeed inferior to Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, and others.

Ranking ninth is reasonable.
