Chapter 43: First Place on the Special Martial Soul Ranking
Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan stood below with a grim expression, reporting Ye Lingling's escape and that only the Ye Family members had been brought back.
On the throne, Bibi Dong's slender fingers gently tapped the armrest, her beautiful face shrouded in a layer of frost.
"She got away?"
Her voice was icy, carrying a hint of displeasure.
"Yue Guan, you seem to be struggling with your recent tasks."
When writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name: Taiwan Novel Network has a vast collection of books, twkan.com, for you to read.
Yue Guan's heart tightened, and he quickly bowed: "This subordinate is incompetent! Please, Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, punish me! That old ghost of the Ye Family resisted with his life, and this subordinate was worried that pushing too hard would be counterproductive, so I first brought back his clansmen."
"Presumably, Ye Lingling, out of concern for her clansmen's safety, will eventually walk into the trap herself!"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly.
Her gaze swept over the Ye Family members being held outside the hall, and the chill in her eyes slightly softened.
"Never mind."
She waved her hand.
"Since her clansmen are in our hands, Ye Lingling won't be able to stir up any trouble. Nine Heart Begonia… this kind of Martial Soul must be controlled by Spirit Hall."
"Pass down the order: 'entertain' the Ye Family members well, and at the same time, send more people to search for Ye Lingling's whereabouts, focusing on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and… that mysterious Big Dipper Academy!"
Although she was somewhat annoyed by Ye Lingling's escape, she wasn't overly worried.
In her opinion, as long as the chips were in hand, the fish would eventually bite.
As for the forces that might shelter Ye Lingling?
Besides the Upper Three Sects and that strange Big Dipper Academy, she couldn't think of any other possibilities.
And no matter who it was, anyone who dared to compete with Spirit Hall for such an important auxiliary Soul Master must be prepared to face the wrath of thunder!
"Yes, Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff!"
Yue Guan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took his leave.
Bibi Dong leaned back onto the throne, her gaze deep as she looked out at the sky beyond the hall.
The heavenly curtain still hung high, and the top spot on the special martial soul ranking had not yet been announced.
But she already had a premonition that the waters of the Douluo Continent…
Because of this heavenly curtain, because of the constantly emerging Geniuses and mysterious forces, they were becoming increasingly murky.
However, she, Bibi Dong, feared no challenge.
Spirit Hall's hegemony was unstoppable!
Just as Li Bai, Ye Lingling, and Ye Zhong were rushing towards Spirit City at an unimaginable speed,
The heavenly curtain, hanging high in the sky, after a brief period of silence, finally erupted with an unprecedented dazzling golden light!
The light was so intense that it even surpassed the sum of all previous list announcements, as if the entire sky had turned pure gold.
An indescribable, ancient and majestic aura, accompanied by a grand and vast voice, enveloped the entire Douluo Continent.
. special martial soul ranking, first place: Elemental Dragon!]
. Elemental Dragon, a top-tier Dragon Clan Martial Soul. Its unique characteristic lies in: this Martial Soul is the Supreme among the Dragon Clan that controls the elements of heaven and earth, capable of manipulating numerous basic and derivative elements such as water, fire, wind, thunder, light, and dark, possessing Supreme Dragon Clan prestige, and absolute Bloodline suppression over the vast majority of Beast Spirits in the world. Its potential is infinite; upon reaching its Peak, it can control the Laws of heaven and earth and wield elemental authority! It is the only Supreme Dragon Clan Martial Soul, rarely seen in ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent!]
[Owner: Ao Yin (Big Dipper Academy)]
[Reward: All Soul Ring lifespans increased by five thousand years, two god-bestowed spirit rings, Soul Power increased by three levels, a fifty-thousand-year External Soul Bone—Dragon Origin Reverse Scale!]
"Boom!"
The entire continent, at this moment, fell into complete silence, followed by an uproar and shock like a volcanic eruption!
Elemental Dragon, controlling multiple elements!
Supreme Dragon Clan prestige!
Bloodline suppression!
Rare in ten thousand years!
The only Supreme!
These words combined created an impact far exceeding that of the previous Nine Heart Begonia, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and even the Blue Silver Emperor!
"My heavens, Elemental Dragon! What kind of Martial Soul is this? Unheard of!"
"Controlling multiple elements? Doesn't that mean he has almost no elemental weaknesses?"
"Supreme Dragon prestige, Bloodline suppression… doesn't that mean many Beast Soul Masters can't even exert their full strength against him?"
"Big Dipper Academy, again Big Dipper Academy, what exactly is their origin?"
"All Soul Rings increased by five thousand years, two god-bestowed spirit rings, and a fifty-thousand-year External Soul Bone—this reward… is too Heaven-Defying!"
...Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi, who had just been invigorated by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, looked at the description of the "Elemental Dragon" on the heavenly curtain, his expression extremely solemn.
He originally thought the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the Peak of auxiliary Martial Souls, but the potential and dominance displayed by this Elemental Dragon were on an entirely different level.
"Big Dipper Academy… their foundation is too profound!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin stroked his Seven Kill Sword, Battle Intent surging in his eyes, yet also carrying a hint of unprecedented solemnity… Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
All Disciples with Dragon-type Martial Souls, at this moment, for some reason, just by seeing the name of this Martial Soul, felt a deep tremor and reverence from the depths of their Souls.
That was the instinctive reaction of a subordinate facing an absolute superior.
Clan Chief Yu Yuanzhen's face was ashen, his fists clenched.
Their proud Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, in front of this Elemental Dragon, seemed like a mere loach!
The Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire imperial families, all hidden Sects… at this moment, firmly engraved the names "Big Dipper Academy" and "Ao Yin" on their highest alert lists.
This suddenly appearing Academy's displayed potential was truly terrifying!
Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong suddenly stood up from the throne, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief and deep apprehension!
"Elemental Dragon, and again Big Dipper Academy!"
She almost squeezed these words through gritted teeth.
An Academy capable of cultivating such a Martial Soul, its mystery and power had far exceeded her initial estimations.
This was no longer a simple variable, but a huge threat that could overturn all her plans!
"Investigate! Spare no expense, we must uncover all the details of this Ao Yin and Big Dipper Academy!"
Bibi Dong's voice was chillingly cold, carrying a hint of urgency that even she hadn't noticed… Outside Spirit City.
Ye Lingling, being carried by Li Bai's Sword Qi and experiencing the lightning-fast speed, also saw the shocking announcement of the top spot on the heavenly curtain.
"Elemental Dragon, Ao Yin…"
She murmured, her cool, pretty face filled with shock.
That seemingly aloof young man beside the Dean, his Martial Soul turned out to be such a Heaven-Defying existence.
Its ranking was even above the Nine Heart Begonia after its curse was lifted!
This brought her reverence and curiosity for Big Dipper Academy to its Peak.
At the same time, the hope in her heart for rescuing her family members inexplicably increased by a few points.
Could an Academy with such a profound foundation, and its teacher Li Bai, truly possess incredible power?
Just then, they had arrived above Spirit City.
Overlooking the heavily guarded Martial Soul Holy City below, which lay like a giant beast.
Feeling the several powerful auras faintly emanating from the city, Ye Zhong's face turned pale, and Ye Lingling also nervously clenched her fists.
"Teacher Li Bai, how should we find my clansmen?"
Ye Lingling asked, her voice trembling slightly.
In this dragon's den, trying to quietly find and rescue imprisoned clansmen…
It was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Li Bai still maintained his lazy demeanor, even pulling out a wine gourd from somewhere and taking a sip.
Hearing this, he glanced at Spirit City below with hazy, drunken eyes and casually said, "Simple."
Before his words finished, he pointed his fingers like a sword.
And lightly slashed towards Spirit City below.
The heavenly curtain, hanging high in the sky, and the top spot on the special martial soul ranking had not yet been announced.
