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

Chapter 330 The First Match of the Seven Major Sects Ranking Tournament: Wang Zhao VS Gu Rong

In conclusion, after yesterday's chaotic elimination tournament, the forces that successfully entered the ranks of the seven major sects are Dragon King Palace, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Elephant Armor Sect, Holy Dragon Sect, Black Tiger Sect, and Wind Sword Sect.

Today, a points-based ranking competition will be held in the square. The seven major forces will be ranked according to their scores, dividing them into the upper three and lower four factions. The more detailed rankings will also be clear to the public.

At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen arrived at the square with his younger brother Yu Luomian. His eyes swept around the surroundings from time to time, and his face was somewhat gloomy.

Damn it! Why, why did so many variables suddenly appear?!

He couldn't help but curse inwardly.

If it was undeniable that the Dragon King Palace, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School would become the new generation of the top three sects after this sect competition, then with the emergence of the Holy Dragon School and the Elephant Armor School, two unpredictable forces, everything has become uncertain.

Leaving aside the fact that the Holy Dragon Sect only has one Title Douluo, Tuoba Xi, Yu Yuanzhen is mainly wary of the Elephant Armor Sect. After all, if you ask which of the three upper sects that had almost secured their spots in this year's competition is most likely to be replaced, it would definitely be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!

Who can blame them? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Dragon King Palace either have two Douluo or at least three, and the two Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are both Super Douluo; on the other hand, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only has one Super Douluo at level 95 to hold its own, and its second-in-command, Yu Luomian, has never been able to cross the threshold between Soul Douluo and Title Douluo...

Aside from all that, what made Yu Yuanzhen somewhat indignant was that his once prestigious sect, the number one beast spirit sect in the world, with its long and distinguished history, had never produced two Douluo in this generation, yet the mere Elephant Armor Sect had? Why?!

Although Yu Yuanzhen could vaguely sense that both Hu Yanzhen and Niu Gao seemed to be some distance away from becoming Super Douluo, Hu Yanzhen was closer, possibly at level 94, while Niu Gao was probably at level 93.

Even if Yu Yuanzhen was confident that he could defeat either of them, the ranking of the seven major sects was based on points...

As Yu Yuanzhen pondered, he couldn't help but glance at Yu Luomian discreetly. His gaze shifted several times before a voice transmission entered his mind, which happened to be from his younger brother, Yu Luomian.

Normally, Yu Yuanzhen is mainly responsible for managing the affairs of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while the quick-witted Yu Luomian often offers advice from the side. Therefore, after receiving the telepathic message, Yu Yuanzhen paused for a moment, then met Yu Luomian's determined gaze, and finally nodded slowly without saying a word.

As for the other forces, the two representatives from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are, unsurprisingly, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong. Since it's not a two-on-two match, Ning Fengzhi, a support-type Soul Master, would be useless; it would be tantamount to giving away points.

As for the Wind Sword Sect and the Black Tiger Sect, they were much more normal. They didn't have any Title Douluos, but they managed to gather two Soul Douluos each.

Finally, the representatives from the Dragon King Palace are Dugu Bo and... Wang Zhao!

At this moment, Wang Zhao is of course Wang Zhao himself. After all, it is a rare opportunity to participate in the sect competition, and Wang Zhao would not really slack off throughout the entire process. He had already given up yesterday's arena match to Gu Yuena, but he still wanted to take the stage himself in today's ranking match.

And the "Holy Son of the Spirit Hall" sitting in the high seat now is, of course, played by Gu Yuena.

Dugu Bo, who fought alongside Wang Zhao, had consumed a more powerful immortal herb than the top-grade martial soul transformation pill, and was now a Super Douluo. As for Thousand-Pound Douluo, he had also fought in yesterday's arena match, so he conveniently gave up his chance in today's ranking match to Dugu Bo.

At this moment, Bibi Dong, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall and the organizer of this year's Sect Tournament, slowly stood up from the chairperson's seat and announced:

"The ranking competition among the seven major sects shall now officially begin."

Immediately, the figures of Chrysanthemum and Ghost, the two old partners of Douluo, appeared at the edge of the square. They would serve as referees for the upcoming ranking matches.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan pulled out a scroll of paper from somewhere, glanced at it, then looked up and gave a vague look at a familiar old Wang, before loudly reciting in his ambiguous voice: "The first match will be between Wang Zhao of the Dragon King Palace and Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Upon hearing Yue Guan's words, the expressions of the powerful figures on the field changed slightly. However, without hesitation, the irrelevant personnel quickly left the field, leaving only Wang Zhao and Gu Rong lingering in the square. The two stood a considerable distance apart, silently gazing at each other.

On the high seat, Ning Fengzhi clenched his fists and then sighed softly.

Seeing this, Xue Xing comforted Ning Fengzhi, saying, "Sect Leader Ning, there's no need to worry. With the fair mechanism of the ranking competition, Palace Master Wang and His Majesty Bone Douluo will meet sooner or later. It just so happens that their battle is in the first match."

"His Highness is right."

Ning Fengzhi's expression remained somewhat somber.

"The key to this sect competition is ultimately the battle between him and Uncle Jian."

"Yeah yeah."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xing nodded in agreement, but her gaze subtly shifted to something else.

Judging from Ning Fengzhi's tone, he seems to have a lot of confidence in Sword Douluo.

At this moment, in the square.

Wang Zhao stared at Bone Douluo, then suddenly smiled slightly and said, "I remember, seven years ago when Sect Leader Ning came to see me, he mentioned that His Majesty Bone Douluo intended to have a match with me. At that time, I was quite apprehensive. I never thought that after so many years, I would still be unable to avoid fighting you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong smiled.

"It is truly an honor for me to have caused even the dignified Palace Master to feel fear."

"Without further ado, let's activate our Martial Souls."

As soon as Wang Zhao finished speaking, their gazes sharpened simultaneously, and they suddenly soared into the air. Beneath Wang Zhao's feet appeared a platinum dragon with golden scales that had been shrunk to over ten meters long beforehand.

"Don't you need your strange Martial Soul True Body?"

Gu Rong clearly still vividly remembered the battle between "Wang Zhao" and "Li Ming," the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, not long ago. He asked questions while performing the Spirit Possession.

To everyone's surprise, Wang Zhao simply sat down leisurely on the golden dragon's head, then patted its big head before saying to Gu Rong, "It hasn't been able to fight on its own for a while. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll spoil it. So I need to let it stretch its muscles more. You fight it."

"...I think you're completely looking down on me!"

The ancient banyan tree immediately bristled and glared.

The next moment, countless bone spikes appeared in the void, and Wang Zhao also activated his sixth soul skill, causing sand and dust to appear and solidify into a sturdy barrier...
