Chapter 109 The Second Place on the Martial Soul Ranking is Revealed! Qian Renxue is Shocked!
Outside Jialing Pass, smoke and fire filled the air.
Amidst the ruins, dark red bloodstains had not yet dried, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning and blood.
Qian Renxue knelt on one knee on a broken boulder, her long golden hair disheveled and clinging to her cheeks, stained with dust and blood.
She was breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently.
That once dazzling angelic attire now appears somewhat dull and lackluster.
What kept her from falling was the ancient sword in her hand—the Primordial Sword.
The sword was driven into the hard ground, supporting Qian Renxue's swaying body.
Opposite her, a silver figure floated silently in mid-air.
"..."
Gu Yuena's silver hair danced lightly in the wind, her exquisite face revealing no emotion whatsoever, her purple eyes like bottomless, icy pools.
On Gu Yuena's chest, a crystal-clear pendant was emitting a soft halo.
That was the Long Life Fall, no matter how Qian Renxue wielded the Primordial Sword, no matter how the angel's divine power erupted.
All attacks vanished without a trace the moment they touched that soft halo, like mud sinking into the sea.
Why are you forcing me?
Qian Renxue raised her head, her eyes filled with deep weariness and resentment.
She had never felt so powerless.
Since inheriting the position of angel, Qian Renxue has considered herself to be at the pinnacle of the continent.
Even when facing Tang San, she was confident she could fight him.
But when she faced this mysterious woman, she felt a shiver from the depths of her soul.
That's incredible.
This kind of power is not simply a matter of accumulating strength, but rather a crushing force on a higher level.
The opponent didn't even really make a move; the recoil from the protective treasure alone caused Qian Renxue's tiger's mouth to split open, and her blood and qi to surge within her body.
Gu Yuena lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the Primordial Sword in Qian Renxue's hand, a hint of doubt and inquiry flashing in her eyes.
Just as Gu Yuena was about to speak, the once silent golden list in the sky burst forth with dazzling light once more.
Rumble—
A deep rumble of thunder rolled by, drawing the attention of everyone on the battlefield.
Whether it was Bibi Dong and Hu Liena on the city wall, or Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena facing off at this moment, they all looked up at the sky.
Golden characters slowly unfolded in the clouds, their strokes powerful and majestic.
[Second place on the Martial Soul Ranking: Silver Dragon King!]
[God-King level Martial Soul!]
[Owner: Gu Yuena!]
As soon as these words were uttered, the area inside and outside Jialing Pass fell into complete silence.
Qian Renxue looked at the name on the sky, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart felt as if it had been squeezed hard, instantly sinking to the bottom.
"Second place on the Martial Soul Ranking...the Silver Dragon King?"
Qian Renxue muttered to herself, her gaze stiffening as she turned to the silver figure in mid-air, "Silver Dragon King... Gu Yuena?"
Although I already knew Gu Yuena's name from the previous list of rare treasures, seeing that she possessed the "Silver Dragon King" martial soul was still incredibly impactful.
What made Qian Renxue feel even more disillusioned was that title—Martial Soul.
"Soul beasts can actually possess martial souls?"
Qian Renxue's voice was filled with shock.
In her understanding, spirit beasts cultivate their physical bodies, while humans cultivate their martial spirits; this is an unchanging law.
Soul beasts can transform into humans in order to rebuild the human martial soul system, but their essence remains that of a soul beast, and they can never possess a "martial soul" named after their own original form.
On the top of Jialing Pass.
Hu Liena covered her red lips with both hands, her beautiful eyes wide open, and let out a gasp.
"Teacher! How is this possible?"
Hu Liena turned to look at Bibi Dong beside her, her tone urgent, "Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, that's the legendary ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the sovereign of all soul beasts! How could she possess a martial soul? And a god-king level one at that!"
Bibi Dong was also in a state of extreme shock.
She gripped the scepter tightly in her hand, her gaze fixed on the sky, her breathing becoming rapid.
"Gu Yuena... she's truly remarkable."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, but she couldn't hide the horror in her eyes.
"One body, two states... It's unbelievable that someone can actually break the boundaries and achieve this."
Immediately afterwards, the description of Gu Yuena's husband reappeared on the sky.
Upon seeing the words "defying fate" and "reshaping the physical body," the shock in Bibi Dong's eyes gradually turned into a bittersweet feeling.
"Gu Yuena's husband is really good to her."
Bibi Dong gazed at the sky, her voice low and melancholy, "She was given unparalleled treasures and helped to possess such a heaven-defying dual-state physique."
"Even for gods, it would probably cost them an unimaginable price to achieve this."
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong couldn't help but picture Yu Xiaogang's slightly stiff face.
What did that man give her besides his endless theories and cowardly avoidance?
pain?
betray?
Or is it just endless waiting?
The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
People like Yu Xiaogang are utterly despicable.
"Gu Yuena's husband is a truly good man."
A surge of intense jealousy welled up in Bibi Dong's heart, a feeling like a venomous snake gnawing at her heart.
She was stronger than Bi Dong throughout her life, and believed she was second to none.
Why is it that Gu Yuena gets to meet such a devoted man, while she gets to meet such a person?
Bibi Dong turned her gaze to Qian Renxue on the battlefield below, a strange light flashing in her eyes, and thought to herself:
"However, I, Bibi Dong, only want to take away Qian Renxue's mysterious master; I'll leave the others to it."
The person who could teach a genius like Qian Renxue and bestow upon her the Primordial Sword was perhaps the strong person she longed for.
Hu Liena, standing to the side, was unaware of what her teacher was thinking; she simply gazed at the sky with envy.
"There really is such an extraordinary man in the world?"
Hu Liena held her hands to her heart, her eyes sparkling with longing.
"If I had someone who loved me that much, I would do anything for them."
In this dog-eat-dog world, men are often heartless, while women are often devoted.
A man like Lu Ming, who is willing to defy fate and give everything for his wife, is a rare treasure that you can't find even with a lantern.
In the center of the battlefield.
Gu Yuena, the person involved, did not show the joy that everyone expected at this moment.
She furrowed her brows slightly, looking at the huge "Second Place" sign on the sky, a hint of surprise and dissatisfaction flashing in her purple eyes.
"What? I only came in second place?"
Gu Yuena was somewhat incredulous.
She is the Silver Dragon Queen, an avatar of the Dragon God, who controls all the elemental forces in the world.
Now, he possesses a perfect physique with two states in one body, truly blessed by heaven and earth.
She had assumed that her martial spirit would undoubtedly be number one.
So, it only ranked second?
