Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 172 The Soul Master Competition Reform, The Prodigy Ranking
Tiandou City.

Wuhun Temple.

Salas looked at the two intelligence reports displayed on the table and fell into deep thought.

Of the two intelligence reports, one came from Meng Shenji and two others. Although Meng Shenji and the others were professors at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they were also members of the Spirit Hall.

As a member of the Spirit Hall, Meng Shenji was quite dutiful. When Zhao Mu single-handedly suppressed the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and won the spot for the Heaven Dou Team, Meng Shenji reminded the Spirit Hall.

However, he was not taken seriously by the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall, and this higher-up was Salas.

He single-handedly suppressed all the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and in just one move?
The students included Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

In the past, Salas might not have known much about Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling given his status, but things are different now.

As the Soul Master Competition progresses, anyone who follows the competition will inevitably recognize Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

It was the outstanding performance of the two players that enabled Tiandou Team 2 to achieve a winning streak and become the top team in the Tiandou Division qualifiers.

Even Salas believed that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's strength was probably something that even the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall might not be able to defeat.

Such a person is no match for Zhao Mu.
Doesn't that mean the Spirit Hall team is no match for Zhao Mu?
Even now, looking back at the information provided by Dream God Machine, Salas finds it unrealistic and hard to believe.

In contrast, another piece of information came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...

Comparable to a Title Douluo?!
That's fucking utter nonsense!
According to Zhao Mu's competition information, Salas knew for certain that Zhao Mu was ten years old. You're telling me a ten-year-old child can rival a Title Douluo? Are you kidding me!
When I was ten years old, I hadn't even broken through to become a Soul Master yet!
If Salas knew that Ning Fengzhi had kept and written the information about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who knows what he would think.

As the strongest fighter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, regardless of whether others believe it or not, Ning Fengzhi would never release the news of Sword Douluo's defeat and serious injury. Therefore, the information released by Ning Fengzhi was only that he was comparable to a Title Douluo.

Salas tapped his fingers on the table.

If this intelligence from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can be considered a smokescreen released by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then Meng Shenji has no reason to fabricate it.

Well, regardless of the circumstances, it should be an established fact that Zhao Mu, representing Team Tiandou One, is stronger than Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling from Team Tiandou Two.

Zhao Mu is capable of threatening the Spirit Hall team, so it is necessary for me to report this information to His Holiness the Pope.

After all, the Pope had high hopes for this year's Spirit Hall team, which included some of his personal disciples.

If, due to my failure to report in a timely manner, an accident occurs to the Spirit Hall team, then I will inevitably be held responsible.

After some thought, Salas decided not to suppress the information provided by the Dream God Machine this time, but instead chose to report it to Pope Bibidon.

After thinking for a moment, Salas also brought along two other intelligence reports.

In addition to the smoke bombs released by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the information also included that Tang San was a disciple of the Clear Sky School.

……

Wuhun Mountain.

Pope's Palace.

A woman dressed in a gleaming gold gown, wearing a purple-gold crown, and holding a magnificent scepter sat high on the throne.

The only woman in the Spirit Hall with such honor and power is the current Pope, Bibi Dong!
At this moment, Bibi Dong's slender, jade-like fingers were holding a piece of intelligence.

As her gaze swept over the contents, a subtle emotion flickered in her eyes, beneath her seemingly calm and pretty face.

Ambition.

"A 100,000-year-old soul ring..."

Bibi Dong murmured softly, the intelligence report revealing the appearance of multiple 100,000-year spirit rings in the Martial Soul Tournament. Moreover, analysis showed that most of these 100,000-year spirit rings were related to one person.

Zhao Mu of Team Tiandou...

This is further corroborated by Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The allure of a 100,000-year spirit ring is considerable for Bibi Dong; other Title Douluos, lacking spirit ring slots, can only watch helplessly.

However, Bibi Dong is different. As the owner of twin martial souls, Bibi Dong still has more than one soul ring slot, otherwise she would not have hunted down Xiao Wu and Da Ming and Er Ming.

"Somebody come!"

……

Just one day before the Soul Master Competition preliminaries were about to end, two bombshell announcements suddenly ignited the entire continent.

Firstly, the ongoing Soul Master Competition was suddenly restructured.

In the past, after the preliminary rounds ended, the ranking matches between the Heaven Dou Empire and other principalities were directly canceled. The teams that advanced from the preliminary rounds in each region would go directly to Wuhun Mountain for the final round of competition.

The final round of the competition was not the original arena battle, but rather a seven-day points-based battle in the Mysterious Grand Canyon where all teams entered the Mysterious Grand Canyon.

Each player on each team has three points. When a player is defeated by another player, they lose their points. Similarly, when a player defeats another player, they gain the opponent's points.

Seven days later, the team with the highest score will be the champion of the Soul Master Tournament.

It can be said that the sudden change in the Soul Master Competition left everyone bewildered and even caught off guard.

I have a feeling that there is a deeper meaning behind this competition's restructuring, but as for what that deeper meaning is, that's something most people can't guess.

Along with the reform of the Soul Master Competition, another piece of news is that the Spirit Hall has created a ranking list for the participants in this competition.

This ranking list, also known as the Prodigy Ranking, lists all the information of the participating students and serves as a reference for the upcoming finals. Students from different regions are unfamiliar with teams from other regions, so this ranking list becomes their only way to learn about others.

Since there are rankings, all the participants are naturally curious about where they will be ranked, and they are also curious about who will be at the top of the list.

Because the Spirit Hall was spread throughout the entire continent, the list spread rapidly across the continent in an instant.

The first person to bear the brunt was the first one.

[Ranking of Prodigies]

[First Place: Zhao Mu]

[Identity: Captain of Team One, Heaven Dou Royal Academy]

[Soul Power Level: Suspected Soul Saint Strength]

[Evaluation: Unparalleled throughout history, unmatched by anyone.]

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi also received news about the reform of the Soul Master Competition and the so-called Prodigy Ranking.

Seeing that the Spirit Hall ranked Zhao Mu first and gave him such a high evaluation, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Such vulgar flattery... Is this the method the Spirit Hall uses? Or are you planning something during the Spirit Master Competition?"

The simultaneous release of the Soul Master Competition reform and the Prodigy Ranking made it hard for Ning Fengzhi not to connect the two events.
