48: Chapter 48, Ranking of Dragons and Tigers, Eleventh!

[Rank 11 on the Powerhouse Dragon and Tiger Ranking: Azure Phoenix Douluo!]

[Spirit: Azure Phoenix Douluo!]

[Rank: Level 97!]

[Affiliation: Spirit Hall!]

[Spirit Bone: Three pieces!]

[Domain: Wind Domain!]

[Super Douluo above Level 95 can choose to increase their Soul Power Rank by 1, or receive a random position Spirit Bone compatible with them, and all spirit ring years will increase by 2,900 years!]

Spirit City, Elder Hall.

Lion Douluo had just appeared on the Heavenly Dao Golden List and hadn't even had time to adjust to his Soul Power, which had surged to Level 97.

Immediately after, amidst the shocked expressions of the gathered Elders, the elegantly poised Azure Phoenix Douluo actually appeared on the ranking.

"You're kidding me!" Jiangmo Douluo's eyes widened significantly.

Unlike Lion Douluo and the others, besides being a rare strategist role within the Elder Hall, Azure Phoenix Douluo was also a bona fide Level 97 Super Douluo.

It was no exaggeration to say that in the entire Spirit Hall, aside from Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Phoenix Douluo was the true third-in-command.

Not only that, because of his sharp mind, his influence even surpassed that of Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean the top ten are all beings above Level 97?

Big brother, does the Douluo Continent really have so many powerhouses?"

Looking at Qianjun Douluo's somewhat bewildered gaze, Qian Daoliu's expression also appeared quite grave.

If this had been in the past, Qian Daoliu would have answered with certainty... No!

But since the Heavenly Dao Golden List appeared, he had become somewhat less confident.

He knew the waters of the Douluo Continent were deep, but he truly hadn't expected them to be this deep!

In comparison, Azure Phoenix Douluo appeared relatively calm.

"While it's a bit unexpected, in a way, it can be considered a good thing.

One thing is certain now: the top ten are at least Level 97 Super Douluo!

Among them, our Spirit Hall will surely occupy two spots, and there's likely one from Sea God Island.

Besides that, the Clear Sky Sect, which has always kept a low profile, probably isn't that simple either.

Conservatively, if Tang Chen is still alive, the Clear Sky Sect should also have two people on the ranking. But if he happened to die, then perhaps only their Sect Master will be listed.

Additionally, Bibi Dong, who betrayed the Spirit Hall, should also be among them.

Although she has rarely taken action since becoming the Supreme Pontiff and usually lives in seclusion...

But regardless, she was the Saintess of our Spirit Hall after all. After so many years of rest and recovery, it would be strange if she hadn't reached this level.

This way, five or

six of the top ten can be confirmed!

So the question is, who are the remaining four?

And what should we do about these four unknowns?"

Qian Daoliu: "Qin Yun, the Green-robed Douluo who suppressed the 470,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a single move, should also be counted as one.

Thus, there are still three unknowns in the top ten.

As for the specific rankings, it still depends on the Heavenly Dao Golden List's judgment.

How to treat them will depend on whether they are strong or weak!"

After Bibi Dong's schism, although the Spirit Hall remained the top power on the surface of the Douluo Continent, it was undeniable that it was inevitably on a downward slope compared to its previous peak.

To maintain its current rule, it had to recruit new talent.

Therefore, even though Qian Daoliu didn't state it explicitly, their years of friendship allowed Azure Phoenix Douluo and the others to hear the underlying meaning.

If the three unknowns belonged to other factions, then so be it.

But if they were Loose Cultivators in the wild, the Spirit Hall would likely recruit them at any cost.

After all, if they didn't recruit such talents, other factions would.

Especially the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was resourceful and not short on money.

Once they possessed such a foundation, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Spirit Hall!

"Fortunately, according to Golden Crocodile Douluo's messenger pigeon, the Qingyun Sect was established by Little Xue.

Although it wasn't funded by our Spirit Hall's wealth, there is still a bond of past kindness between us.

From this perspective, no matter how difficult the future situation becomes...

With the Spirit Hall and the Qingyun Sect supporting each other, the other factions won't be able to turn the world upside down!"

Azure Phoenix Douluo: "The Young Lord is indeed capable. To establish the Qingyun Sect using the Heaven Dou Empire's resources is a blessing in disguise.

Otherwise, facing this situation where powerhouses emerge one after another and Bibi Dong maliciously split the Spirit Hall, we would truly be in a passive position!"

Azure Phoenix Douluo seemed to be reminiscing, but he was also secretly reminding Qian Daoliu.

No matter what, Bibi Dong was still Qian Renxue's mother.

As they say, blood is thicker than water!

Some things must be guarded against!

After Bibi Dong's betrayal, the Spirit Hall immediately lost nearly a third of its strength.

In this situation, if the mother and daughter joined forces and betrayed them again, the problem would be massive!

Qian Daoliu nodded subtly to Azure Phoenix Douluo; he understood the key point.

However...

Qian Daoliu truly couldn't understand that lunatic Bibi Dong.

However, Qian Renxue was the granddaughter he had raised himself, and he had some confidence in Little Xue's stance.

Furthermore, Gold Crocodile Douluo had gone there personally and found nothing unusual other than Little Xue having gained a bit of weight.

It seemed there shouldn't be any problem!

"She does indeed have Bibi Dong's blood in her veins, but regardless, she is ultimately surnamed Qian!"

...

[The Third Priest of the Spirit Hall's Elder Hall!]

[Green hair bound in a crown, dark eyes as sharp as an eagle's, a tall and upright figure. He is constantly surrounded by a light green wind aura, his robes fluttering as if he were walking on clouds. His temperament is elegant yet hides a piercing sharpness.]

[Nearly a hundred years old yet still resembling a middle-aged scholar. When still, he is as elegant as a pine; when moving, he is as swift as the wind. His pressure is restrained and not exposed.]

[Calm and steady, with deep strategies and a meticulous mind. He acts with great order, dislikes reckless head-on clashes, and excels at using wisdom to control power and speed to break deadlocks.]

[Unwaveringly loyal to the Elder Hall and Qian Daoliu, he values promises and keeps his word. He disdains venomous schemes but is proficient in battlefield layout and surprise tactics.]

[Outwardly cold and indifferent, but inwardly possessing great shrewdness. He remains calm in the face of danger and is a rare strategist-type powerhouse among the priests!]

[Azure Phoenix Douluo originated from the ancient Qingming Clan in the western part of the Douluo Continent, where the Luan Bird Spirit has been passed down for generations.]

[They do not only cultivate speed but also pass down battlefield strategies, traditionally establishing themselves through 'speed, precision, and wisdom.']

[Born with Level 8 Soul Power, he possessed not only peerless movement talent but also extraordinary Comprehension Ability. Even as a child, he displayed wisdom and judgment far beyond his years, regarded by his clan as a successor gifted in both literary and martial arts.]

[As a youth, he did not win through brute force but was accustomed to using speed combined with strategy. He repeatedly defeated strong enemies in clan trials, and no one could ever truly trap him. At a young age, he already possessed the steady air of a great Azure Phoenix Douluo.]

[At the age of six during his Spirit Awakening, a phenomenon of green wind piercing the heavens occurred as the Green-Feathered Divine Luan Spirit manifested. Its wind pressure suppressed birds for a hundred miles. Both his mind and Soul Power startled the Inspectors of the Elder Palace, and he was exceptionally brought into the Spirit Hall for focused cultivation.]
