Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Firefly, I Was Exposed by the Sky.

Chapter 2 The Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda: An artwork abandoned by the gods!

Above the sky, golden light surged like boiling magma, eventually coalescing into a towering pagoda phantom under the gaze of millions of eyes.

The pagoda has seven levels, each radiating a dazzling halo of different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, creating a vibrant and eye-catching spectacle.

That sacred and gentle aura, even across the endless void, brought peace to the minds of every Soul Master on the Douluo Continent, as if the flow of Soul Power within their bodies became smoother.

Immediately afterwards, those ancient and mysterious golden characters, carrying a judgmental majesty, were heavily imprinted on the sky—

[Top Ten Martial Souls in Douluo Continent]

[TOP 10 - The Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!]

[Reason for inclusion: The crown jewel of support heroes, a rainbow of colors, amplifying everything!]

Dead silence.

After a brief silence, the entire Douluo Continent seemed to have been hit by a depth charge, instantly creating a huge upheaval!

"What?! I can't believe my eyes, can I? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... is only ranked tenth?!"

In the square of Heaven Dou City, a Soul Master rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief, his voice sharp with shock.

"That's the inherited martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the top three sects! It's known as the 'Number One Support Martial Soul in the World,' how could it only be ranked last?"

"Could this canopy be fake? If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can only rank tenth, then what kind of monsters are the nine ahead of it? Are they all god-level martial souls?"

"This is insane! This world has gone mad! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is incredibly wealthy, with unparalleled support abilities, yet it's being looked down upon like this!"

Questions, exclamations, and gasps of shock echoed across every corner of the mainland.

For Soul Masters of this era, the Three Upper Sects are the pinnacle of the Martial Soul world, an insurmountable authority.

Now, this cornerstone of authority has been mercilessly relegated to the bottom of the list by this sudden and unexpected event.

……

Inside the "Firefly Glimmer" dessert shop.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, Liu Ying remained seated in her quiet corner.

She gently cut a small piece of cake covered in cream with a silver fork, put it in her mouth, and savored the delicate sensation of the sweetness melting on her tongue, a look of satisfaction on her face.

She merely glanced up at the rankings on the sky that had shaken the entire continent before looking away, her expression as indifferent as if she were looking at an outdated newspaper.

"Tenth place is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... Hmm, that's a very fair assessment."

Liu Ying murmured to herself, a clear understanding flashing in her blue and pink eyes, as if she had already seen through everything.

As a time traveler, she possesses a "God's-eye view" far surpassing that of the natives of this era.

She knew very well that in the long history of Douluo Continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the most powerful and dominant in the current era.

But looking to the future, the endless stream of original martial souls, ultimate martial souls, and even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that evolved later are enough to dethrone this former "number one support" from its pedestal.

"Besides..." Liu Ying shook the fork in her hand, a playful smile curving her lips.

"In this world where cheaters are everywhere, if you can't become a god, you're just a mortal after all."

"However, this is probably a significant blow to Ning Fengzhi and the others," Liu Ying shook her head and continued working on the cake on her plate.

……

The main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating.

The sect's headquarters, which was originally shrouded in ethereal beauty and resembled a fairyland, was now filled with restlessness and anger.

"Outrageous! Utterly outrageous!"

An inner disciple dressed in white pointed at the sky, trembling with rage, and roared with a red face and thick neck:

"Who on earth is behind this 'sky curtain' trick? How dare they humiliate my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School like this! Our sect boasts unparalleled martial soul support and two Title Douluos, so why are we only ranked tenth?!"

"Exactly! This list is definitely rigged! I refuse to accept it!"

"If I find out who's behind this, I'll make them taste the sword energy enhanced by my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

On the square, thousands of disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were filled with excitement.

From childhood, they were taught that "the Seven-Jeweled Glazed Tile Pagoda is the best in the world," and this pride has long been ingrained in their bones.

Now that their pride has been trampled underfoot by Tianmu in public, the sense of loss drives them almost mad.

And on the white jade platform directly in front of the main hall.

Ning Fengzhi stood with his hands behind his back, and even his usually refined and gentle face could not hide the deep astonishment and solemnity.

He gripped the scepter tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, revealing his extreme inner turmoil.

"Charm..."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood beside him, his sword aura flickering erratically. His sharp, sword-like eyes were fixed on the sky as he coldly said:

"Should I make a move and test the strength of this celestial canopy? I want to see what dares to rank above my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Bone Douluo Gu Rong's face was also gloomy, his bones crackling and popping: "Old Sword Man is right, this is practically shitting on our necks! Tenth? Hmph, utterly laughable!"

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, don't be reckless."

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and raised his hand to stop the two Guardian Douluos from acting impulsively.

He gazed at the magnificent pagoda phantom in the sky, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including resentment and a touch of bitter helplessness.

"The power of this celestial canopy is vast and boundless, far beyond what human power can contend with. Since it dares to erect it, it must have its reasons."

Ning Fengzhi sighed deeply, his voice tinged with desolation:

"To be fair, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda did make the list after all, proving its status in the martial spirit world. To be fair... tenth place is indeed a slap in the face for us."

He paused, his gaze becoming deep and sharp, as if trying to pierce through the golden light and see the truth behind the list.

"What I really want to know now is... since we're only ranked tenth, just how earth-shattering are the nine martial spirits ranked ahead of us? Are there really so many monsters hidden in this world that we don't know about?"

The moment Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the scene on the sky changed again.

The previously still phantom of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda began to slowly rotate, and golden characters flowed down like a waterfall, beginning a comprehensive analysis of this martial soul.

[Martial Soul Analysis: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda]

【Advantages:】

[1. Ultimate Support: Possesses all-around boosts to strength, speed, soul power, and defense, making it invincible among its peers.]

[2. Treasure Appraisal Ability: An innate and keen perception of treasures, the foundation of immense wealth.]

[3. Team Core: A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master can double the combat power of a Soul Master team!]

Seeing this, the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School relaxed slightly and nodded in agreement: "That's right, this is our Martial Soul! Tianmu actually knows what he's talking about!"

However, the next second, the color of the text on the sky suddenly changed, from dazzling gold to blinding blood red!

【Drawbacks and Evaluation:】

[A genius dies young, a tower stands in ruins!]

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is powerful, it is limited by innate rules, with only seven levels. One's soul power can never break through level eighty in their lifetime!

No matter how talented or wealthy you are, you will never reach the Douluo realm in your lifetime!

[Unable to receive a title, let alone a divine position!]

Therefore, it ranks tenth. Commentary: This is an artwork abandoned by the gods; beautiful as it is, it has severed the path to heaven.

boom!

These few lines of blood-red characters struck Ning Fengzhi's heart like a bolt from the blue, and also struck the faces of all the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The shouting and cursing in the square stopped abruptly.

A deathly silence descended once more.

Ning Fengzhi's body swayed violently, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.

That was a pain that would never fade from his heart, a curse that the successive sect leaders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could never let go of until their deaths!

Unable to break through level 80!

Unable to become a Title Douluo!

This is the most fatal flaw of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the irrefutable proof that it can only be ranked tenth!

"An artwork abandoned by the gods...?"

Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter laugh, as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He helplessly released the scepter, letting it fall to the ground with a crisp sound.

"So, in the eyes of true powerhouses, our pride is nothing more than a defective product..."
