Chapter 110 Battle Against a 100,000-Year-Old Soul Beast.
However, Poseidon's beautiful face showed little joy.
Instead, it was filled with unprecedented solemnity.
She gently shook her head, her sea-blue eyes filled with worry.
"Chen, you're wrong. I'm afraid neither of us will even make it into the top five."
"What?"
Tang Chen's smile instantly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Poseidon, why do you say that? Could it be that Qian Daoliu has already broken through to level 100?"
"Even so, we should both be in the top three!"
He had been away from the continent for a long time and knew very little about the changes that had taken place in recent years.
Poseidon sighed and grasped Tang Chen's rough hand. She slowly recounted the events when the Martial Soul Ranking was announced, including the sudden emergence of the Beidou Academy and the unfathomable power displayed by Lu Xiao, Li Bai, and others.
She especially mentioned Lu Xiao's Martial Soul, which was beyond comprehension.
"That Beidou Academy is incredibly mysterious, especially Lu Xiao."
"Based on my observations and speculations, his strength has likely already surpassed the realm of ordinary Limit Douluo, unfathomable."
"His subordinates, such as Li Bai, are also far from easy opponents."
"Add to that Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall, who is said to have reached level ninety-nine and obtained the Rakshasa God Trial… The Douluo Continent of today is no longer the era when the three of us reigned supreme a hundred years ago."
Poseidon's voice carried a hint of bitterness.
Tang Chen listened, falling into a long silence.
The pride on his face gradually faded, replaced by utter seriousness and shock.
He hadn't expected that during his time in the City of Slaughter, such earth-shattering changes would occur on the continent.
A mysterious Beidou Academy possessed so many top-tier experts?
"Beidou Academy… Lu Xiao…"
Tang Chen murmured to himself, his eyes sharp as knives.
"It seems I've been too narrow-minded; this ranking is indeed not to be underestimated!"
Reactions from all sides of the continent.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a wry smile: "This list has little to do with me anymore. It's already a blessing that Uncle Jian or Uncle Gu are on the list."
"Our stage ultimately isn't about individual martial prowess."
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen clenched his fists; although he was confident in his strength.
But facing the Spirit Hall's elders, the Sea God Douluo, and the mysterious Beidou Academy, he wasn't entirely confident he could squeeze into the top ten.
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest,
Gu Yuena looked at the list, her silver eyes flashing slightly: "The Spirit Master Power Ranking only considers humans?"
"Well, it's a good opportunity to see the true strength of humanity's top combatants."
She wasn't disappointed by not being on the list; instead, she felt the ranking was even more significant.
Meanwhile, many ordinary Spirit Masters and civilians, after a brief moment of excitement, quickly transformed into enthusiastic spectators.
"Open the betting! Who will make the list!"
"I'm rooting for the Spirit Hall Pope!"
"Tang Hao will definitely be on the list!"
"Sea God Douluo Poseidon has guarded Seagod Island for many years; his strength is undeniable!"
"Don't forget Beidou Academy! They were so powerful before; they'll definitely be on the power ranking this time!"
"Three days! Just three days! Let's see just how high the sky is on the Douluo Continent!"
The entire continent's attention was focused on the announcement of the power ranking three days later.
This wasn't just a ranking of strength; it was the clearest preview of the future landscape of the continent! Everyone wanted to know how much the traditional hierarchy of power would be shaken after the mysterious Beidou Academy suddenly appeared.
A storm was brewing that would sweep across the entire Soul Master world.
The Star Dou Great Forest was vast and boundless, with ancient trees reaching for the sky. Three streams of light swept through the layers of trees at incredible speed, heading straight for the core area of the forest.
There stood Sun Wukong, Cai Wenji, and the newly-breakthrough Diao Chan.
"Wukong, Wenji, our best target for this trip is a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast."
"But ferocious beasts lurk deep within the Star Dou Great Forest. We must proceed with caution and not venture too deep, lest we alert those terrifying beings."
Diao Chan's pretty face was grave as she reminded them.
Although she had just broken through and her aura was not yet fully stable, she was meticulous.
Cai Wenji nodded solemnly.
Sun Wukong, however, seemed completely unconcerned.
Carrying the seemingly simple yet incredibly heavy Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), he chuckled, "Don't worry, with me here, everything's fine!"
"As long as it's not the silver dragon in the deepest part that personally intervenes, even if it's Emperor Tian, I, Old Sun, am confident I can lead you out!"
"A mere 100,000-year-old soul beast? A piece of cake!"
He was brimming with confidence, though no powerful aura emanated from him. But his disdainful gaze left no room for doubt.
The three moved with incredible speed.
Before long, they had crossed the mixed zone and entered the perilous edge of the core area, a place even ordinary Title Douluos wouldn't dare venture into easily.
Just as they slowed their pace, scanning their surroundings with their divine senses for suitable targets,
"Roar!"
A deafening roar suddenly came from their side.
Accompanied by a vast and holy aura of light!
A gigantic figure crashed through several ancient trees, appearing fiercely before the three.
It was a massive lion.
Its fur, like pure gold, shone brightly, radiating a warm yet majestic power of light.
Most peculiarly, it possessed two identical heads on its neck.
Four lion eyes, like burning golden flames, locked onto the three who had intruded into its territory.
A ferocious aura emanated from it.
It had reached the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast!
"The Two-Headed Radiant Lion King!"
Diao Chan's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, a hint of surprise flashing across them. "My martial soul, the Heavenly Star Divine Lotus, contains the power of holy purification, sharing the same origin as this Radiant Lion King's attributes. It's the perfect ninth soul ring! Moreover, it's alone here, a godsend!"
She made a decisive decision—it was the one!
The Radiant Lion King's two heads simultaneously emitted a deep roar. It spoke in human language, its voice like rolling thunder.
"Humans! Daring to trespass into my territory, you'll serve as provisions for my advancement!"
It sensed the immense power of the three people before it.
Especially the one carrying the staff, whose body seemed to contain the power of a volcano.
Devouring them might greatly advance its cultivation!
Before the words were finished, the Radiant Lion King's two heads opened simultaneously.
Two beams of holy light, condensed to their extreme, seemingly capable of purifying all evil, shot out like pillars of light towards Sun Wukong, the leader!
"Well done!"
Sun Wukong's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he laughed loudly.
"Perfect timing for me to stretch my muscles!"
With a soft hum, a golden light erupted from his palm.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Monkey King's staff) grew rapidly, instantly becoming as thick as a bowl, which he firmly grasped.
At the same time, nine spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red!
Eight black and one red.
This heaven-defying spirit ring configuration instantly illuminated the dark forest!
The terrifying aura swept out like a landslide and a tsunami.
The previously menacing Light Lion King's four pupils suddenly contracted, revealing intense fear and apprehension!
This spirit ring configuration was unheard of!
"Take this!"
Sun Wukong didn't care about its fear; with a swift movement, he vanished from his spot like a ghost.
The next instant, he appeared above the Light Lion King's head.
With immense force, the golden cudgel in his hand slammed down! The air beneath the cudgel's force emitted sonic booms, the ground cracking inch by inch!
The Lion King roared, his body condensing into a thick shield of light.
"Boom!"
The golden cudgel struck the shield, producing a deafening roar.
The shield trembled violently, cracks spreading, yet it withstood the blow.
However, the Lion King's massive body was still slightly bent under the immense force.
"Such a hard tortoise shell!"
Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, about to attack again.
"Wukong, I'm here to help you!"
Cai Wenji cried out, her emerald green zither hovering before her, nine soul rings rising around her as well.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Sound of Reincarnation!"
Her slender fingers plucked the strings.
A strange, soul-stirring melody spread out.
The music reached his ears.
Sun Wukong felt a surge of energy, his soul power flowing more smoothly, his fighting spirit soaring even higher.
Conversely, the Light Lion King's four lion eyes momentarily showed a hint of confusion and disarray, and the light power gathered around its body instantly dissipated.
It was as if countless phantoms appeared before its eyes!
Cai Wenji's sixth soul skill, the Sound of Reincarnation, can greatly enhance the status of allies while simultaneously causing strong mental interference and illusions to enemies!
