Chapter 218: The 100th Spot, the Ruyi Jingu Bang!

[Sun Wukong: Finally, it's starting! Hurry up and announce it! I want to see what rank I'll be in!]

[Taiyi Zhenren: You don't need to be so confident. There's a chance you might not even make it onto the list this time!]

[Sun Wukong: None of you believe in me! Just wait and see!]

As soon as Sun Wukong's words fell, a line of text appeared on the list.

[100th on the Weapon List: Ruyi Jingu Bang, a Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure!]

[Owner: Sun Wukong]

[The Ruyi Jingu Bang can freely change its size and shape, weighing as heavy as ten thousand jin or as light as a feather, and it can suppress all things!]

At the moment the ranking appeared, many people were shocked. Although Sun Wukong had been boasting for a long time, few truly believed him. Yet, he indeed made it onto the list.

However, some voices of dissent were heard.

[Giant Spirit God: Why does his lousy stick get to be ranked? I know he's powerful, but what does that have to do with the Ruyi Jingu Bang?]

[Erlang Shen: If Sun Wukong's staff can make it, my weapon, which is no worse than his, should also be on the list!]

[Haotian Jade Emperor: You may not know this, but Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang was crafted from rare materials collected during the Primodial World in the furnace of Taishang Laojun. Later, it was used by Yu the Great to control floods, suppressing tens of thousands of rivers, and eventually ended up in the East Sea Dragon Palace, where it remained until Sun Wukong took it!]

[Ancestor Minghe: It's a truly formidable Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure, well-deserving of a place on the list!]

Haotian Jade Emperor, knew the backstory well. When the East Sea Dragon King lost this treasure, he even sent someone to Heaven to complain, but unfortunately, they couldn't do anything to Sun Wukong and certainly couldn't retrieve it.

[Sun Wukong: Once it's in my hands, it's mine! What does the old East Sea Dragon have to do with it? If he wanted it back, he should've come for it himself, but it's a pity he doesn't dare!]

While Sun Wukong was gleeful, one person in the live chat remained silent and deeply troubled—this was the East Sea Dragon King.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang was originally an East Sea treasure, used to stabilize the sea. Yet, when Sun Wukong came, he had snatched it away. Now, watching Sun Wukong brag about it, the East Sea Dragon King couldn't help but feel heartbroken, especially since the Ruyi Jingu Bang had just made it onto the Weapon List, even if it was only at the very last spot.

After losing the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the East Sea Dragon King no longer had any weapon of comparable strength. With no hope of retrieving it from Sun Wukong, he could only endure the pain in silence.

Sitting in the East Sea Dragon Palace, his heart bled. The last time a list was announced, he was already envious. Now, he could only wait in agony to see what reward Sun Wukong would receive.

The East Sea Dragon King wasn't only upset about the Ruyi Jingu Bang—Sun Wukong had also taken other treasures from the East Sea. His anger towards Sun Wukong was immense, but there was nothing he could do.

Most people didn't know much about the Ruyi Jingu Bang, as it wasn't a well-known weapon. Even when Yu the Great used it, it was only to suppress rivers. No one truly knew its real power. Even during Sun Wukong's havoc in Heaven, people attributed his strength to himself rather than his staff.

However, the truth was that part of Sun Wukong's strength came from the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Without it, his power would be significantly diminished.

Erlang Shen had hoped his weapon would make it onto the list, but after seeing that Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang only ranked 100th, he realized that his weapon, though powerful, was still inferior to Sun Wukong's and thus wouldn't make the cut.

[Sun Wukong: I told you my Ruyi Jingu Bang would make the list! None of you believed me! Even if it's the 100th spot, it still made it! Who's still not convinced?]

Though many were confident in their own treasures, none had appeared on the list yet. In case their weapons didn't make the cut, they didn't dare to argue with Sun Wukong.

With no one responding, Sun Wukong grew even more excited.

[Sun Wukong: Haha, it seems all of you are blind! Especially Erlang Shen, who has an extra eye but still can't see how amazing my weapon is. I'd like to see if your weapon can make the top 100!]

[Erlang Shen: What are you so proud of? The list isn't finished yet. My weapon might still be on there!]

[Sun Wukong: Your lousy blade can't compare to mine, yet you're still dreaming!]

[Taiyi Zhenren: Although the rankings have just begun, who knows how long it will take to reveal all of them. I wonder if the rewards this time will be better than the last?]

[Guanyin Bodhisattva: I expect they'll be quite similar.]

As the Ruyi Jingu Bang flashed across the list, many were surprised, but they accepted the outcome. After all, the Weapon List was authoritative and beyond question.

The rewards that followed were similar to those for the Ruyi Jingu Bang—Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure, though in different forms. Some were specialized for offense, others for defense. Each weapon listed was well-known and its owner famous.

However, Erlang Shen felt deeply embarrassed, as his weapon didn't make it onto the list at all. His earlier argument with Sun Wukong had cost him his pride, so he chose to remain silent.

But Sun Wukong didn't forget about him, constantly mentioning Erlang Shen as the rewards were announced.
