In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 190 Storms Rise Again on the Continent

"Whoa!!!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers once again. Looking around the arena, many people had already stood up to pay tribute to the perfect conclusion of this final battle.

The host paused, waiting for the excitement to subside slightly before continuing, "According to the rules of our Grand Soul Arena, after this match, the Dragon Couple's Soul Rank will be officially upgraded to Diamond Soul Rank. Considering various reasons, we will award the Dragon Couple a 'Legendary' honorary badge on top of the Diamond Soul Rank badge. With the Legendary honorary badge, the Dragon Couple can enjoy the highest level of treatment in any Grand Soul Arena on the continent, including the Grand Soul Arena headquarters..."

After a series of recounts, many veteran viewers of the Great Soul Arena couldn't help but widen their eyes again. However, when they thought of Wang Zhao's monstrous talent and his ability to directly confront a Soul Douluo as a Soul Emperor, and Qian Renxue's extraordinary abilities, their emotions were instantly calmed down.

The Grand Arena makes perfect sense by doing this. These two monstrous geniuses—no, they can now be considered true powerhouses, and top-tier powerhouses at that—have influence and connections. Anyone would want to win them over.

Thinking this, the audience quickly began to cheer for the Dragon Couple on the Battle Arena.

Considering that this was his last time participating in a competition of a slightly lower level like Soul Fighting, and a milestone in his career, Wang Zhao paused for a moment. Instead of immediately taking Qian Renxue off the Soul Fighting stage, he spoke to the audience with a touch of emotion, took the opportunity to give Qianlong Academy a shout-out, and made a subtle announcement about the future expansion of the Dragon King Palace before leaving.

At this moment, in private room number one, Ning Fengzhi's gaze followed Wang Zhao's retreating figure until it disappeared, before slowly withdrawing it.

"Wang Zhao, Dragon King Palace, after this battle, these two names will once again resound throughout the entire continent."

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"This also means that the rise of the Dragon King Palace is unstoppable. With its ancient dragon clan, Dragon Transformation Pool and other resources, the Dragon King Palace is fully qualified to compete for the next generation of the three upper sects, and even the top position among the three upper sects."

Xueye glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, "In terms of top-tier combat power, Wang Zhao can be considered one of them now. Not to mention how much progress Wang Zhao's strength will make in the sect competition a few years from now, given his growth rate. Moreover, I seem to have heard recently that a female Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level has appeared by Wang Zhao's side. She probably also has a Dragon Martial Soul."

"Um……"

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment.

"With Qianhuang Douluo, Du Douluo, Gaishi Longshe, and this pair of divine dragon heroes, the Dragon King Palace can already be considered a super power with four titled Douluo. Among them, Qianhuang Douluo alone is enough to rival Uncle Jian and the Jade Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Dugu Bo is not bad either, and his recently transformed Azure Scale Golden Eye Dragon Martial Soul is not to be underestimated... Now, the Dragon King Palace is gradually absorbing and filling the gap at the Soul Douluo level, and it seems to be showing signs of becoming the next Clear Sky Sect."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye murmured, "In that case, Wang Zhao does seem to resemble the Haotian Lord who led the Haotian Sect to its peak a hundred years ago, once dominating the Soul Master world and being on par with Qian Daoliu. However, the Haotian Sect has now declined from its peak. I wonder what the future holds for the Dragon King Palace..."

The two chatted casually for a while, then Ning Fengzhi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, would you like to go see Wang Zhao now?"

Xueye was somewhat tempted, but ultimately shook her head slowly.

"No, the Dragon King Palace's headquarters is right outside Heaven Dou City, so we'll have a chance to meet sooner or later. But Sect Master Ning, the Spirit Hall has been making moves lately, and there's bound to be a lot of trouble on the continent. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should be prepared."

"Naturally, I also want to see what kind of tricks the Spirit Hall is planning."

Ning Fengzhi's expression turned serious for a moment, then, as if he had thought of something, his expression relaxed and brightened.

"My daughter's birthday is in three days..."

……

Details of the final battle between the Dragon Couple at the Heaven Dou Arena quickly spread across the continent. What shocked and even horrified people the most was Wang Zhao's 100,000-year fifth spirit ring. The first reaction of the mainland people was disbelief. However, based on the testimony of countless spectators at the Heaven Dou Arena that day, and the fact that the fierce aftershocks of the attack on the arena even shattered the sword shadow shield set up by Sword Douluo, the mainland people eventually had to believe it.

Immediately afterwards, the mainland audience turned their attention to the key point of the match: the Divine Dragon Couple, one a Soul King and the other a Soul Emperor, two young people had actually defeated the Dart and Shield combination, which consisted of two Soul Douluo-level powerhouses!

This caused a level of shock to the mainland public second only to Wang Zhao's 100,000-year fifth spirit ring. After that, the spirit masters who had been speculating that Wang Zhao might also possess a 100,000-year spirit bone, who were eager to make a move, had to be doused with cold water and forced to calm down and weigh their own strengths and weaknesses to see if they were qualified to make a move on Wang Zhao. They also had to take into account Wang Zhao's background, namely the existence of two titled Douluo and the peerless dragon snake.

Afterwards, they came to a somewhat sad conclusion: even if Wang Zhao truly possessed a 100,000-year-old soul bone, it wasn't something anyone could covet. Even a Soul Douluo-level expert would have a hard time getting it. After all, Ning Fengzhi was able to notice the special nature of Wang Zhao's first few soul rings and soul skills, which wouldn't be difficult for a discerning person to detect. And for a Title Douluo-level expert who had little chance of challenging Wang Zhao, there were many more factors to consider...

In particular, Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was so envious of Wang Zhao's 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone, based on the intelligence brought back by the sect's spies, that he was almost driven mad with envy for the sky full of purple lightning that Wang Zhao displayed that day.

A 100,000-year-old soul bone! Lightning attribute!

Even if someone else possessed it, he would absolutely disregard any gossip that might arise from his status as sect leader, ignore the potential impact on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and use any means necessary to obtain it! After all, soul bones can be inherited, and this is simply the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's hope for taking another big step forward!

Even if he could, Yu Yuanzhen would still bind the person who absorbed the mysterious 100,000-year-old lightning attribute soul ring back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, make him marry into the family, and then train him. If that didn't work, he could be a stud!

But he is Wang Zhao…

Even disregarding his own strength, the Dragon King Palace behind him made Yu Yuanzhen extremely wary.
