Chapter 183: Number One
Just as the strength of the Soul Beast Clan caused a massive shock across the continent, leaving countless Soul Masters trembling at their terrifying Foundation...
The scene on the heavenly curtain changed once again.
An indescribable aura, as if touching the World Origin itself, silently suppressed the auras emitted by all previous powers!
At this moment, the entire continent fell into a deathly silence.
Even breathing seemed to have come to a standstill.
Everyone understood exactly who the number one on the power ranking list was!
It could only be—Big Dipper Academy!
Finally, that calm and grand voice of the heavenly curtain, sounding as if it came from the depths of the Universe, resounded in the depths of every living being's Soul!
[Douluo Continent power ranking list, First Place: Big Dipper Academy]
[Reason for listing]: Transcendent and aloof, with unfathomable Foundation, its existence partially exceeds the conventional cognitive system of the current Plane. The academy's core Foundation is as follows: one God King-level combatant, two Divine Rank combatants, five Limit Douluo combatants, and two Super Douluo combatants. Possessing the supreme ancient tree of life, the power of the life Origin it emits can subtly improve the talent, potential, and injury recovery speed of living beings within its range. It provides nearly infinite life energy and the best Cultivation environment for the academy's area, making it a place of supreme Opportunity and creation.
[Ranking Rewards]:
1. Deepened Origin Blessing: Big Dipper Academy's degree of favor from the Plane Origin is permanently and significantly increased, and the concentration of heaven and earth Soul Power within the academy's range is increased by 50%.
2. Academy-wide Ascension: For all formal members of Big Dipper Academy, the age of their Soul Rings is immediately increased by 2,000 years.
3. God-bestowed Resources: Three random top-tier Immortal Herbs and ten 100,000-year Soul Bones will descend.
4. ancient tree of life Leap: The growth progress of the ancient tree of life is permanently increased by 15%, the efficiency and purity of the life Origin release are greatly improved, its coverage area is doubled, and a "Spring of Life" (which can produce Life Essence Liquid) is generated... First place, Big Dipper Academy!
When this list of strength and rewards, even more unreasonable than that of the Soul Beast Clan, was laid bare before the entire continent...
The shock and fear previously caused by the Soul beasts seemed to have been paused.
Subsequently, it transformed into another, more complex and indescribable emotion.
"Li Bai, Lü Bu, Monkey King... As expected, these people all possess the combat power of a Limit Douluo..."
"The ancient tree of life... A Heaven-Defying existence that can improve talent and potential? So Heaven-Defying!"
"Three top-tier Immortal Herbs! Ten 100,000-year Soul Bones! And the growth of the ancient tree of life... My god!"
"No wonder they can rank first. This top-tier combat power configuration, combined with that ancient tree of life, is simply..."
After a brief loss of words, there was an even more surging wave of discussion.
Only this time, the fear felt when facing the Soul beasts was missing from the discussions.
It was replaced by disbelief, envy, jealousy, and even a hint of bewilderment.
The strength of Big Dipper Academy seemed no longer entirely describable by mere power.
It was a more fundamental advantage that touched the levels of creation and Opportunity.
The top-tier God King combat power was enough to suppress all defiance, and the existence of the ancient tree of life ensured its terrifying sustainable development capability and absolute attraction to Geniuses!
Many leaders of major powers now felt a mix of complex emotions.
They finally understood why Big Dipper Academy could recruit so many unheard-of monster teachers and Genius Disciples.
With such a tree that can improve talent and potential, it is simply the Holy Land that all Soul Masters dream of!
In comparison, things like Soul Bones, Immortal Herbs, and accelerated Cultivation seemed to have become secondary additions... Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
Gu Yuena looked at the introduction of Big Dipper Academy on the heavenly curtain, especially the description of Lu Xiao's God King-level combat power!
A very faint ripple flashed through her purple eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"As expected, it's him... Big Dipper Academy's number one."
She whispered to herself, her tone betraying no joy or anger.
She had long anticipated this result.
After personally experiencing Lu Xiao's unfathomable power, she understood that the power he belonged to was by no means measurable by the common logic of this World.
Although the Soul Beast Clan was strong, when facing an existence that might touch higher dimensions!
Being relegated to second place was not unjustified.
However, seeing the heavenly curtain announce it so bluntly and describe the ancient tree of life as so Heaven-Defying, a hint of complexity still arose in her heart.
It was the pride belonging to the Dragon God Bloodline and a trace of imperceptible unwillingness.
"Lord, that ancient tree of life of Big Dipper Academy!"
Di Tian couldn't help but speak, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of longing.
A supreme treasure that can improve talent and potential held an unparalleled attraction for Soul beasts as well!
Gu Yuena shook her head slightly: "That is the Foundation of Big Dipper Academy. It is not something of our clan and cannot be forced. Our clan has its own path and Opportunity."
"The heavenly curtain rewards have arrived. Focus on improving ourselves is the right path. As for Big Dipper Academy, maintain observation; there is no need to make an enemy of them for now."
"Yes!"
Di Tian and the other Ferocious beasts suppressed the churning emotions in their hearts and responded respectfully.
They also knew that making an enemy of Big Dipper Academy was by no means a wise move... Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the concise yet heart-piercing description of Big Dipper Academy, as well as the rewards so generous they made one's eyes turn red with envy.
A cold light swirled in the depths of her eyes, and her fingernails almost dug into her palms.
"God King-level potential combat power, ancient tree of life!"
She repeated in a low voice, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth.
The power and confidence brought to her by the Rakshasa God Trial seemed somewhat shaky in front of the three words "God King-level."
The great battle on the previous combat power ranking List had made her realize Lu Xiao's combat power; even if she became the Rakshasa God, she could not possibly be his match!
And that ancient tree of life made her feel a deep sense of wariness.
This meant that Big Dipper Academy's potential was almost infinite!
"Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's voice was dry.
"This Big Dipper Academy's Foundation is truly too..."
He wanted to say "terrifying," but swallowed it back under Bibi Dong's cold gaze.
Ghost Holy Gui Mei said hoarsely: "Looking at it now, having Big Dipper Academy reign above the Soul Beast Clan might not be entirely a bad thing for us Human Soul Masters."
"At least, the Soul Beast Clan will no longer dare to be as unscrupulous as before."
Bibi Dong snorted coldly and did not respond.
She naturally understood this reasoning!
But this didn't mean she could accept Big Dipper Academy riding on the head of Spirit Hall!
Even less could she accept that Lu Xiao possessed such terrifying power and resources!
The existence of Big Dipper Academy was like a thorn!
Deepely embedded in her ambition and pride.
"The rewards have arrived. Hurry and digest them. Foreign enemies are coming, and the continent will be in chaos!"
"What the future holds is still unknown!"
Bibi Dong forcibly suppressed the waves in her heart and regained her majesty as the Supreme Pontiff.
She would not give up; she would finish the Rakshasa God Trial first!
...Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Clear Sky Sect, the two great Empires... All powers at this moment cast extremely complex, reverent, and even somewhat bewildered gazes toward the direction of Big Dipper Academy.
