Douluo Continent: Building the Great Wall, Exposed by the Golden List

Chapter 9: Chen Xin Makes the List, the Great River Sword Descends from the Sky

"Sikong Zhen?"

Su Han muttered to himself that, in the past few years, apart from the initial five free draws, he had summoned six or seven more by completing various tasks.

Now that the list of successful candidates has been released, it has actually helped me.

"Dean."

Sikong Zhen appeared directly in front of Su Han. According to the system's modified memories, he knew all the other King of Glory heroes.

"You've come at the right time. Shouyue and Kai are out on business, but there's something here that needs your help."

Sikong Zhen clasped his hands in a fist salute, indicating that he had received the order.

"In the Sunset Forest outside Tiandou City, there is a treasure land called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Go and visit the owner there for me, and tell him that I have a way to cure his poison and ask him to come over."

The person Su Han asked Sikong Zhen to find was naturally the old poison master Dugu Bo. Initially, Dugu Bo, who was already invincible, looked down on these immortal herbs.

However, the significant improvement Shao Siyuan experienced after taking the Acacia Heartbreak Red made him somewhat tempted.

If we could find another one for Shao Siyuan, wouldn't her martial soul become stronger again and her soul power increase significantly?

When Su Han sensed Shao Siyuan's aura just now, she not only sensed her soul power, but also that the aura of her martial soul had increased significantly.

"Go ahead, there's no need to act in secret. It's time for our Great Wall Academy to emerge."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan

Yu Yuan shakily got up from the ground, but he didn't bother to help up Yu Luomian beside him, and laughed loudly.

"Even the heavens are on my side, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan!"

The baptism of thunder, a reward that Yu Yuanzhen initially felt was inferior to a 100,000-year-old soul bone, now made him want to experience it again.

"Sizzle—!"

Yu Yuanzhen sensed that the lightning power around him had increased by more than twice as much, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"Big brother, help me!"

Yu Luomian, who had just been lulled to sleep by the heavenly lightning, spoke in a weak voice.

"Second brother, take a look at your body first. I should have gathered the entire sect's Heavenly Thunder earlier. Heaven is going to bring prosperity to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"

"What?!!!!"

Just as Yu Luomian was about to complain about the excruciating pain of being struck by lightning, his eyes widened. He clearly felt that the Title Douluo barrier that had been holding him back for nearly five years was beginning to loosen.

"Please keep hitting me, I beg you!"

[Ranked 24th on the combat power list, Chen Xin, Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!]

[Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, Level 96 Power Attack Type Super Douluo!]

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School,

Sword Douluo remained expressionless. He had already done his best to surpass one person each from the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

He summoned the Seven Kill Sword, pointing it straight to the top of the list of successful candidates.

Ning Fengzhi was startled by him. The example of Tang Ming from Haotian Sect was still fresh in his mind. At this moment, he could only hope that Chen Xin could calm down.

Chen Xin twirled his sword, sheathed it towards the sky, bowed, and said loudly.

"Thank you, Sword Dao Chenxin!"

Inside Shrek Academy,

The tense atmosphere that had just been building up to a hostile stance quieted down after Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin were both listed on the list.

Ning Rongrong said it was impossible, and Yu Xiaogang also muttered that it was impossible.

"Unofficial rankings!"

The two spoke in unison, and the tense atmosphere from before completely dissipated.

"Ahem, I told you long ago that this Golden Ranking is a fake one. Even the top experts from the three major sects are only ranked here. Could it be that the remaining twenty-odd people are all taken by the Great Wall Academy? How is that possible!"

[Sword Douluo Chen Xin, whose martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword, the ultimate offensive sword, possesses considerable strength and a clear sword heart, hence his placement here.]

[Rewards include a one-level increase in Soul Power level, a one-thousand-year increase in Soul Ring age, an 80,000-year-old right arm Soul Bone, and a sword aura!]

As the comments on the list of successful candidates were released, many forces on the mainland were speechless.

The previous comments were either veiled sarcasm or open insults, but Chen Xin's comments were finally mild.

How can you rank someone twenty-fourth? What kind of monsters are the top twenty-three?!

Furthermore, Yu Yuanzhen's numerous thunderous baptisms have already left people bewildered, so what on earth is this sword energy?!

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Xin felt his aura instantly surge, and the soul rings swirling around the Seven Kill Sword turned to the lowest shade of purple.

A sharp soul bone, shrouded in green light, appeared before him.

But his gaze was fixed on a sword aura that looked like a white ribbon beside him.

"This sword energy can deepen my swordsmanship!"

Chen Xin was overjoyed; neither the increase in soul power nor the soul bone mattered to him.

His self-proclaimed title of Sword Dao Chen Xin, rather than Sword Douluo Chen Xin, already says it all.

Swords were his true love in life!

"Congratulations, Uncle Jian! Your strength will definitely increase greatly now."

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, "After all, the stronger Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are, the more stable the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's position will be on this continent."

"You old swordsman, we'll fight you again after you've absorbed the soul bone!"

Seeing that Bone Douluo was clearly dissatisfied with his higher ranking, Chen Xin's mood instantly improved.

"I don't draw my sword against the weak. Let's talk about it when you surpass me on the list."

"Old Swordsman!"

Even though Gu Rong knew Chen Xin was joking, she was still quite angry.

This ranking on the honor roll is absolutely infuriating!

Ignoring the furious Gu Rong, Chen Xin led the sword energy out of the house.

He gripped the Seven Kill Sword in his right hand and swung it out, mimicking the sword energy.

The far north,

"The way of the sword is without worldly concerns, but the heart of the sword is clear and bright."

Su Han's tone was clearly amused, for no other reason than that the rewards given to Chen Xin in this year's Golden List had once again benefited him.

"Strong sword energy detected. System fully charged. Host can summon a new hero. Attempt +1."

This time it should be Li Bai.

After years of research on the system, Su Han summoned Gongsun Li atop the snow-capped mountain and Wu Zetian in the Heavenly Dou Imperial City.

That sword energy must belong to the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal from my previous life.

"The sword of the great river descends from the heavens!"

Su Han chose to summon a new hero. Amidst the flashing sword light, a figure dressed in a white robe appeared before him.

"Li Bai greets the Dean!"

"Li Bai, you've come at the right time. I want you to question Jian Chenxin, but first go find Sikong Zhen and hunt down a ninth spirit ring for yourself, or you can go directly and, as a Soul Douluo, challenge a Title Douluo!"

Since Jinbang is about to expose his Great Wall Academy, he might as well choose to emerge into the world himself.

Being invincible can be quite lonely, so it would be a good idea to visit the people and events from the original story.

Li Bai accepted the order and left, but the list of successful candidates remained silent for a long time.

"Seven broadcasts a day? That's still a while away."

Su Han pondered, and out of boredom, he went to tend to the flowers and plants with Shao Siyuan.

"Dean, what did you want to tell me when I took the Acacia Heartbreak Red?"

"Uh, it's nothing."

"The dean is lying."

"You're not allowed to go out with Hyotei for a week."
