Chapter 58: The Mysterious First Place
Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
When Bibi Dong saw the name "Qian Renxue", her delicate body, originally filled with murderous intent and coldness, trembled almost imperceptibly.
A complex and inscrutable light instantly flashed through her deep Phoenix eyes.
There was bone-deep hatred, a fleeting pain, and cold detachment.
But in the deepest, darkest part, there seemed to be a hint of a mother's stirring that even she herself was unwilling to admit.
She quickly reined in all her emotions, resuming her aloof Supreme Pontiff's authority.
Only the knuckles of the hand gripping the Scepter were even paler.
She looked at "Rank 61" and "Third Place", feeling little joy, but rather a surge of inexplicable irritation.
Even Xue'er… could only Rank third?
...Hall of Worship.
The moment Qian Daoliu saw his granddaughter's name, a smile of relief and pride finally appeared on his usually placid face.
But when he saw that the ranking was "Third", his smile abruptly froze.
His brows furrowed tightly, like a twisted lock.
"Third… how could it be third?"
His heart was filled with confusion and a hint of solemnity.
"Xue'er has Innate Rank 20 Soul Power, a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, is a Soul Emperor, and is the chosen successor of the Angel God… In this world, are there actually two people whose talent can surpass hers?"
His gaze seemed to pierce through the Hall's roof, staring intently at the heavenly curtain.
Who exactly are the top two?
Could it be that, besides the God of Angels, other Divinities' Legacies have appeared in this world?
An unprecedented sense of urgency and crisis lingered in the heart of this Limit Douluo… Heaven Dou Empire, a forest.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, felt the vast golden light merge into her body, her Soul Power breaking through to Rank 64.
Her Soul Ring quality soared, especially the improvement of her Innate Domain, which made her connection with the Angel God Position clearer and tighter.
There wasn't much change on her exquisite face, as if all this was to be expected.
However, the "Third Place" ranking was like a tiny thorn, pricking her proud heart.
Since childhood, she had been told by her grandfather that she was a favored daughter of Heaven, a chosen one, destined to stand at the peak of the Douluo Continent.
But now, this genius ranking told her that there were two people above her?
Her golden eyes, containing Divinity and majesty, narrowed slightly as she looked in the direction of Big Dipper Academy.
She also seemed to peer through the Void Realm, looking at the unknown first and second places.
"No matter who you are, I, Qian Renxue, will surely surpass you. The glory of the Angel God brooks no blasphemy."
...The entire Douluo Continent was shaken by Qian Renxue, this hidden Soul Emperor.
But more people cast curious and fearful gazes towards the top two, who had not yet been revealed.
Even Qian Renxue, with Innate Rank 20 Soul Power, the Divine Rank Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and being a Soul Emperor, could only Rank third!
What kind of existences were the first and second?
Could they really be reincarnated gods?
The heavenly curtain seemed to sense this expectation and fear, which had condensed to the extreme.
The surging golden light began to collapse inward, condensing, as if giving birth to the first ray of light that would split heaven and earth.
Finally, under the gaze of billions of eyes, the information for the second place.
With a majestic aura that seemed to make all elements surrender, it descended gloriously!
[genius ranking, Second Place: Ao Yin!]
[Soul Power Rank: Rank 56 attack system Martial Soul King]
[Martial Soul: Elemental Dragon (Divine Rank Martial Soul)]
[Affiliation: Big Dipper Academy]
[Evaluation: Wields the Origin elemental power of earth, water, fire, wind, light, dark, etc., incarnating as the Elemental Dominator. Both his control and destructive power have reached the pinnacle of his generation, and his potential is unfathomable.]
[Reward: Soul Power increased by three Ranks, all Soul Ring years increased by ten thousand years, rewarded with a ninety-thousand-year top-tier Dragon Soul Bone, elemental affinity permanently increased by fifty percent, Innate Domain power increased twofold.]
"Elemental Dragon? Controls all Origin elements?"
"After receiving the reward, he is only one step away from Soul Emperor!"
"Another Divine Rank Martial Soul, Big Dipper Academy's second Divine Rank Martial Soul!"
"He's also first on the special martial soul ranking. One first, one second, this talent is too Heaven-Defying!!!"
"Second place… even he is only second? Then first…"
The Douluo Continent fell into a state of speechlessness.
Ao Yin's existence once again refreshed people's understanding of the word "Genius".
Elemental Dragon, wielding multiple Origin powers.
First on the special martial soul ranking.
Second on the genius ranking.
With such talent, his Cultivation speed is probably even more terrifying than Qian Renxue's!
Everyone realized that this was not just a Soul Master, but more like a walking natural disaster, an Incarnation of elements!
...Deep within Big Dipper Academy.
Ao Yin, dressed in a green robe, stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. On his handsome and slightly unrestrained face, there was not much surprise at the second-place ranking.
"Second, huh… interesting."
He murmured softly, various elemental light particles vaguely flickering around him like Martial Souls, obedient to him.
Golden light poured into his body, and his aura surged at an astonishing speed, instantly breaking through the Rank 56 Bottleneck, reaching Rank 59.
Only one Rank of Soul Power separated him from officially becoming a Soul Emperor!
His Soul Ring years soared, and a Dragon Claw Spirit Bone, emanating a nine-colored misty Qi, seemingly containing the Origin power of earth, water, fire, and wind, merged into his right arm.
This brought his perception and control of the world's elements to a whole new Realm.
He felt the various elemental forces surging and roaring within him, obedient to his every command, and his eyes gleamed with confidence.
Second does not mean the end, only another starting point… Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong looked at Ao Yin's information, her heart sinking to the bottom. Another Divine Rank Martial Soul.
And it's Big Dipper Academy again!
His strength is close to Soul Emperor!
He is also the first on the special martial soul ranking. This child's threat even surpasses Ye Lingling's.
She could almost foresee that when this child grew up, he would definitely become the biggest stumbling block to Spirit Hall's conquest of the Douluo Continent!
Qian Daoliu in the Hall of Worship also remained silent for a long time.
Elemental Dragon… he had only seen vague records of such a Martial Soul in the most ancient texts.
It was considered an almost legendary existence, and he never expected it to actually appear in the world.
"Ao Yin… Big Dipper Academy… Li Bai…"
He muttered these names, the sense of crisis in his heart stronger than ever before.
"It seems the Douluo Continent is truly about to usher in a drastic change unseen in thousands of years."
Now, all the suspense.
Is focused on the only position yet to be revealed, hanging high above all geniuses… the top spot!
Above the heavenly curtain, all the golden light seemed to converge to a single point in the center.
The light from that point was pure and extreme, like the first ray of light at the beginning of creation, containing infinite mysteries and supreme majesty.
The entire Douluo Continent, millions of living beings.
Whether human or Soul Beast, whether Titled Douluo or common Mortal, all held their breath at this moment, awaiting the final answer.
Who exactly is it that can suppress twin spirits, surpass the Divine Rank Six-Winged Angel and the Elemental Dragon, and ascend to the top of the genius ranking?
The golden light completely erupted, transforming into a name, illuminating all the heavens!
