Chapter 58 The Mysterious First Place.
Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.
When Bibi Dong saw the name "Qian Renxue," her delicate body, originally filled with killing intent and icy coldness, trembled almost imperceptibly. A complex and unfathomable light flashed across her deep phoenix eyes.
There was a deep-seated hatred, a fleeting pain, and a cold indifference.
But in the deepest, darkest depths, there seemed to be a trace of maternal emotion that even she herself was unwilling to admit.
She quickly suppressed all her emotions, regaining her lofty papal majesty.
Only the knuckles of her fingers gripping the scepter were even paler.
Looking at "Level Sixty-One" and "Third Place," she felt little joy, but rather a strange irritation welled up within her.
Even Xue'er… could only be relegated to third place?
Hall of Offerings.
The moment Qian Daoliu saw his granddaughter's name, a smile of relief and pride finally appeared on his usually impassive face.
But when he saw the ranking was "third," his smile froze.
His brows furrowed tightly, like a tightly locked lock.
"Third... how could it be third?"
His heart was filled with confusion and a hint of unease.
"Xue'er possesses innate level 20 full soul power, a six-winged angel martial soul, a Soul Emperor, and is the chosen successor of the Angel God... In this world, are there actually two people whose talents surpass hers?"
His gaze seemed to pierce through the palace ceiling, fixed on the sky.
The top two... who exactly are they?Could it be that besides the Angel God, there are other inheritors of other deities who have appeared in this world?
An unprecedented sense of urgency and crisis lingered in the heart of this Limit Douluo.
In a forest in the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, felt the vast golden light merging into her body, her soul power breaking through to level 64.
Her spirit rings underwent a leap in quality, especially the improvement in her innate domain, making her connection with the Angel Godhood even clearer and stronger.
Her stunningly beautiful face remained largely unmoved, as if all of this was perfectly natural.
However, the ranking of "third place" was like a thorn, piercing her proud heart.
From a young age, her grandfather had told her that she was a chosen one, a prodigy, destined to stand at the pinnacle of the continent.
But now, this genius ranking told her that there were two people above her?
Her golden eyes, imbued with holiness and majesty, narrowed slightly as she looked towards the direction of the Big Dipper Academy.
It seemed as if she were piercing through the void, looking at the unknown first and second place.
"Whoever you are, I, Qian Renxue, will surpass you. The glory of the Angel God cannot be desecrated."
The entire continent trembled because of Qian Renxue, the hidden Soul Emperor.
But many more people cast curious and fearful glances at the yet-to-be-revealed top two.
Even Qian Renxue, with her innate level 20 spirit power, the divine-level martial soul Six-Winged Angel, and her status as a Soul Emperor, could only rank third!
What kind of beings are the first and second place winners?
Could they truly be reincarnations of gods?
The heavens seemed to sense this overwhelming anticipation and fear.
The boiling golden light began to collapse and condense inward, as if nurturing the first ray of light that pierced the heavens and earth.
Finally, under the gaze of countless eyes, the information of the second place winner descended with an aura that seemed capable of subjugating all elements!
[Genius Ranking, Second Place: Ao Yin!]
[Soul Power Level: Level 56, Power Attack Type Battle Soul King]
[Martial Soul: Elemental Dragon (God-level Martial Soul)]
[Affiliation: Beidou Academy]
[Evaluation: Wielding the power of the primordial elements of earth, water, fire, wind, light, and darkness, he has become an elemental master. His control and destructive power are both at the pinnacle of his generation, and his potential is unfathomable.]
[Rewards: Soul Power increased by three levels, all Soul Rings increased by 10,000 years, a top-tier 90,000-year Dragon Soul Bone, Elemental Affinity permanently increased by 50%, and the power of his Innate Domain increased by two times.]
"An elemental dragon? Controlling all primordial elements?"
"After receiving the reward, he's only one step away from becoming a Soul Emperor!"
"Another God-level Martial Soul, the second God-level Martial Soul in Beidou Academy!"
"He's also number one on the Special Martial Soul Ranking! One first, one second, this talent is too heaven-defying!!"
"Second place... even he's only second? Then what about first place..."
The 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 primal powers.
Number one on the Special Martial Soul Ranking. Number two 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, the embodiment of elements!
Deep within Beidou Academy.
Ao Yin, dressed in a green robe, stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. Regarding the second-place ranking, his handsome and slightly unruly face showed little surprise.
"Second place... interesting."
He murmured to himself, with various colored elemental light spots around him leaping and submitting like elves.
Golden light flooded his body, and his aura surged at an astonishing speed, instantly breaking through the level 56 bottleneck and reaching level 59.
He was only one level away from becoming a formal Soul Emperor!
His Soul Ring's age soared, and a dragon claw Soul Bone, radiating a nine-colored aura and seemingly containing the primal power of earth, water, fire, and wind, merged into his right arm.
This allowed him to reach a completely new level of perception and control over the elements of heaven and earth.
He felt the surging and roaring elemental power within his body, as if it were his own arm, and his eyes gleamed with confidence.
Second place doesn't represent the end, but merely another beginning.
The Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong looked at Ao Yin's information, her heart sinking to the bottom. Another god-level martial soul.
And again, from the Beidou Academy!
His strength was close to that of a Soul Emperor!
He was also ranked first on the Special Martial Soul Ranking. This boy's threat was even greater than Ye Lingling's.
She could almost foresee that when this boy grew up, he would become the biggest stumbling block for the Spirit Hall's conquest of the continent!
Qian Daoliu remained silent for a long time in the Hall of Worship.
The Elemental Dragon…
He had only seen vague records of this martial soul in the oldest ancient texts.
It was considered a near-legendary existence, yet it had actually appeared in the world.
"Ao Yin… Beidou Academy… Li Bai…"
He murmured these names, a sense of crisis stronger than ever before.
"It seems the continent is truly about to undergo a cataclysmic change unseen in millennia."
Now, all the suspense focused on the one unresolved question, hanging high above all geniuses… the position of champion!
Above the sky, all the golden light seemed to converge at the very center.
That point of light, pure and ultimate, was like the first ray of light at the beginning of creation, containing boundless mystery and supreme majesty.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, millions of living beings—humans and soul beasts, titled Douluo and ordinary mortals—held their breath, awaiting the final answer.
Who was it that had surpassed twin martial souls, transcended the divine martial souls of the Six-Winged Angel and the Elemental Dragon, and ascended to the top of the genius rankings… ?
The golden light erupted completely, transforming into a single name, illuminating the heavens!
