Chapter 29: Luo San Pao, a Shameful Introduction
Powerhouse Ranking.
This meant that the group of people standing at the Peak of the entire Douluo Continent would be revealed to the public.
What kind of glory was this, and what kind of… cruelty?
It was bound to cause countless disputes and conflicts!
Top Ten Strongest Spirit Beast Ranking!
Each ranking list was like a key, about to unveil layer after layer of the Douluo Continent's mysterious veil.
It would reveal the true power structure hidden beneath the surface, starkly displaying it before everyone.
Spirit Hall, the Two Empires, the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, the Ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest… all the top powers and strong individuals across the entire Douluo Continent were now experiencing turbulent waves in their hearts… Inside Big Dipper Academy.
Lu Xiao looked up at the golden lines of text on the heavenly curtain, a meaningful arc forming at the corner of his mouth.
"It's getting more and more interesting…"
"Top Ten Powerhouses? Strongest Soul Beasts? Divine Artifacts?"
"I wonder what position my Big Dipper Academy, and I, its Dean, will occupy on these various rankings?"
There was no fear in his eyes, only a keen edge of eagerness.
He would surely participate in this upheaval caused by the heavenly curtain and stir up the winds and clouds!
…Three days passed in a flash for Soul Masters.
It was merely a few moments of meditation and brief Cultivation.
When the dawn of the fourth day just pierced through the clouds, casting its golden glow upon every corner of the Douluo Continent.
The heavenly curtain, which had been silent for three days, once again stirred with ripples.
"Boom boom boom!"
Ten thousand rays of golden light scattered the thin morning mist, unfolding like a gigantic golden curtain across the sky, attracting the gaze of all Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent.
"Finally, the time for the heavenly curtain to open again has come. These three days felt like years."
"I wonder if my Martial Soul will be able to rank among the top ten on the special martial soul ranking?"
"…"
Whether they were Soul Masters Cultivating or ordinary people busy with their lives, they all involuntarily stopped their actions, holding their breath.
They looked towards that magical heavenly curtain that would determine the fate of countless people.
At the same time, a strong sense of expectation arose in their hearts, hoping that they could enter the top ten of the ranking.
"special martial soul ranking, announced today."
"Those who make it into the top ten will all receive a Heavenly Dao gift and special rewards!"
A grand and mighty voice, like a divine oracle, echoed deep within everyone's Soul.
After a brief silence, there was an even more fervent anticipation and tension.
The hearts of countless Soul Masters with special Martial Souls were in their throats.
Praying that their names would appear on that golden ranking list.
Golden light flowed, like a Dragon's dance with a brush.
It began to converge and outline at the bottom of the heavenly curtain.
"special martial soul ranking, Tenth Place: Luo San Pao!"
The appearance of this name and Martial Soul momentarily stunned the entire Douluo Continent.
Luo San Pao?
What kind of Martial Soul was this?
Never heard of it!
Immediately after, a detailed introduction to this Martial Soul slowly emerged:
"Luo San Pao, a mutated Martial Soul. Originating from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it is a malignant mutation of the top-tier Beast Spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Its form is a materialized Soul Beast, resembling a pig in appearance and gentle in nature."
"Its uniqueness lies in: one, it is the only known case on the Douluo Continent where a top-tier attack system Beast Spirit mutated into a non-combat materialized Beast Spirit; two, it contains an extremely faint trace of golden holy dragon Bloodline, with unknown potential."
"Owner: Yu Xiaogang (Shrek Academy)"
"Reward: Soul Power increased by one level!"
"Luo San Pao? A materialized pig? A mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? Hahaha!"
"My heavens, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has such a Martial Soul? This is simply a Family disgrace!"
"This counts as a special Martial Soul? This is clearly a trash Martial Soul! How can it even make the ranking?"
"Didn't you read the introduction? It's the only case, and it has golden holy dragon Bloodline! Although faint, the word 'special' is well-deserved!"
"Soul Power increased by one level? Who is this Yu Xiaogang? Never heard of him!"
For a time, discussions erupted everywhere on the Douluo Continent, with mockery, curiosity, and surprise echoing endlessly… Shrek Academy.
Flender, Zhao Wuji, and others looked at the sky, their expressions very interesting; there was joy for Yu Xiaogang, but more often, it was embarrassment.
After all, the reason for making the ranking was truly… difficult to mention.
And Yu Xiaogang, situated in a corner of the academy, was experiencing an extremely complex mix of emotions at this moment.
When the golden light of the Heavenly Dao reward merged into his body.
The twenty-ninth-level Bottleneck that had troubled him for decades, which he could not Breakthrough no matter how hard he tried.
It instantly dissolved like melting ice and snow, and his Soul Power naturally stepped into the thirtieth level!
Feeling the Soul Power in his body that had increased by more than a notch, and the clearly perceptible location of the third Soul Ring.
Yu Xiaogang's body trembled slightly, and a trace of uncontrollable joy and excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Thirtieth level… I finally… reached it!"
He murmured to himself, his voice choked with emotion.
This was not just a one-level increase, but also the light of hope that broke his "trash" curse!
However, this joy was quickly drowned by a huge sense of shame.
The secret of his Martial Soul, which he had painstakingly hidden for many years, his most shameful proof of origin, was thus revealed by the heavenly curtain without reservation.
Displayed before everyone on the entire Douluo Continent.
"Why… why must it be announced in such detail…"
Yu Xiaogang's face alternated between green and white, his heart filled with resentment.
"Even if it was just a vague mention of a special mutated Martial Soul… why must it specifically point out 'mutated from a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon' and 'resembles a pig in appearance'…"
He seemed to already hear the sneers from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Feeling countless mocking and pitying gazes.
This cast a thick shadow over the joy of his recent Breakthrough… Spirit Hall, inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong sat on the high pontiff's throne, her jade hands clenching slightly beneath her luxurious pontiff's robe.
When she saw the name "Yu Xiaogang" and the detailed introduction of "Luo San Pao", an extremely complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
There was a momentary trance, as if she saw that naive figure from many years ago, who was obsessed with theories.
There was a faint, almost imperceptible sense of relief for his Breakthrough of the Bottleneck.
But more than that, it was a cold and resolute feeling of being mocked by fate.
"Xiaogang… Luo San Pao…"
She whispered in her heart, then her eyes returned to a state of indifference and majesty.
"Even so, it still changes nothing."
"What is past, is past."
Her gaze sharpened again, sweeping over the Elders and bishops in the hall, whose expressions varied, and her voice was clear and cold: "Continue to monitor the ranking list."
…Big Dipper Academy.
Lu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the introduction of Luo San Pao on the heavenly curtain, a look of understanding on his face.
"So it's this Martial Soul… Yu Xiaogang, Grandmaster of theories…"
He nodded gently.
"Formed by a malignant mutation of a top-tier Martial Soul, unique in form, and containing a trace of divine Bloodline, in terms of 'special' and 'unique', it indeed deserves the tenth place."
He was not too surprised by this.
