Chapter 53 Divinely Bestowed Soul Rings.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong stood side by side.
Both Super Douluos wore solemn expressions.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong spoke in a hoarse voice, "Did you see that? Those three little guys from the Spirit Hall, the highest is only ranked ninth."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded slightly, his white robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes sharp as swords.
"You see, the Golden Generation, that was Bibi Dong's carefully cultivated trump card, intended to win the championship in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"It can be said that before this, everyone believed that with the Golden Generation, the championship of the tournament would inevitably belong to the Spirit Hall."
He paused.
His tone carried a hint of disbelief: "But who would have thought that on this genius list, which is open to the entire continent and has a more comprehensive and stringent evaluation standard, they couldn't even break into the top eight!"
"This list reveals something even more profound than we imagined," Gu Rong said in a low voice. "This means that among the younger generation, there are monsters with even greater potential and more recognized by the Heavenly Curtain than the Golden Generation."
"The next top eight will probably... be even more terrifying."
The two exchanged a glance.
They both saw the shock and a trace of worry in each other's eyes.
They were naturally concerned about whether their little princess, Ning Rongrong, could secure a good ranking.
But they were even more aware of the changing power structure reflected behind this list.
The "failure" of the Spirit Hall's younger generation might prompt Bibi Dong to take more radical measures.
"That girl Rongrong, after consuming the Qiluo Tulip, has evolved her spirit into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. She'll definitely be on the list," Chen Xin said confidently, but with a hint of uncertainty. "I just wonder if she can break into the top three, which seems to be dominated by the Beidou Academy?"
Gu Rong snorted: "Who cares what ranking she gets? As long as Rongrong is happy and her strength improves, that's all that matters."
"However, that kid Feng Zhi is probably going to have trouble sleeping again. The waters of this continent are getting more and more murky."
It wasn't just the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
At this moment, the Clear Sky Sect, though living in seclusion, also had secret channels within the sect monitoring the outside world.
Tang Xiao looked at the rankings of the Golden Generation, his brows furrowed, his heart filled with even greater worry for his nephew Tang San, whom he had never met. In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while Yu Yuanzhen was pleased that Yu Tianheng had made the list, he was also filled with apprehension towards the unknown top eight who had surpassed the Golden Generation.
Countless forces were shocked by the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation's "Waterloo."
At the same time, they felt an unprecedented curiosity and awe towards the soon-to-be-revealed top eight who could surpass the Golden Generation.
Just as the various forces on the continent were filled with complex emotions and eagerly awaiting the announcement, the golden light in the sky surged once more at an unprecedented speed, as if gathering its final strength.
Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, the name of the eighth place was boldly announced!
[Genius Ranking]
[Eighth Place: Zhu Zhuqing!]
[Soul Power Level: Level 50 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul King]
[Martial Soul: Netherworld Cat]
[Affiliation: Beidou Academy]
[Evaluation: With a will as firm as steel, she was reborn from the ashes in dire straits, maximizing her speed and attack power. Under extreme pressure and proper guidance, her talent underwent an astonishing transformation. The Netherworld Cat is as swift as lightning, possessing extraordinary potential beyond the limits of her martial soul!]
[Rewards: Soul Power increased by two levels, all soul rings increased by three thousand years, martial soul origin evolved once, a divinely bestowed soul ring is awarded, and a 50,000-year-level Speed-boosting Right Leg Soul Bone is awarded!]
Beidou Academy, training ground.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her name on the sky, and the tense lines on her cold face finally softened slightly.
She gently exhaled, and her tightly clenched fist slowly relaxed.
No one knew how much pressure she had endured.
In the previous rankings, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and many other students received huge rewards, showing rapid improvement in their abilities.
Although she was happy for her companions, the sense of urgency and resentment deep within her also grew stronger day by day.
She didn't want to fall behind!
She didn't want to return to that state of being powerless to control her own destiny.
Therefore, after Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and others experienced a significant increase in strength due to the rewards, she almost immediately applied to the academy for seclusion.
Relying on her accumulated foundation and an indomitable spirit, she finally broke through the level 50 bottleneck upon emerging from seclusion.
She was only one spirit ring away from becoming a true Soul King!
And she was not even fifteen years old!
She knew that this achievement was thanks to the cultivation of the Beidou Academy, especially the meticulous guidance of teachers like Lu Xiao and Li Bai.
Without the resources and correct cultivation direction they provided, she would probably still be struggling under the suffocating rules of the Star Luo Empire.
It would be impossible for her to escape her predetermined tragic fate so quickly.
She looked at Lu Xiao and Teacher Li, who were smiling not far away, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just then, a vast golden light descended, completely enveloping her.
The immense soul power injected into her instantly stabilized her level 50 bottleneck and directly elevated her to level 52.
Her original four spirit rings—two yellow and two purple—flashed violently.
Their colors deepened at a visible rate, especially the fourth spirit ring. Its original deep purple became even darker, as if it could devour light!
The three thousand years of age increase had brought her first three spirit rings to the peak of the purple level.
The fourth spirit ring, however, was completely stabilized at the ten-thousand-year level!
Then, a right leg spirit bone, radiating a cyan light and containing immense wind attribute energy, appeared out of thin air, merging into her right leg as if it were alive.
A sharp tingling and strengthening sensation washed over her.
Zhu Zhuqing felt her speed had undergone a qualitative leap at this moment.
Finally, a soft golden sphere of light, containing infinite possibilities, appeared. A divinely bestowed spirit ring.
It hovered before her.
"What is this?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the golden sphere, a hint of doubt flashing in her clear, cold eyes.
She didn't recognize what it was.
Seeing this, Lu Xiao smiled and stepped forward, explaining gently, "This is a divinely bestowed soul ring, formed from the divine power of a god-level expert, not obtained by hunting soul beasts."
"Its greatest characteristic is that the age of the final soul ring will adaptively increase based on the absorber's physical strength and willpower."
"In other words, the stronger your body and the more resolute your will, the higher the age of the final soul ring you will obtain."
"You are currently missing just one soul ring; you can absorb this directly as your fifth soul ring."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes instantly blazed with brilliant light.
Without any hesitation, she stretched out her fair yet powerful hand and forcefully crushed the golden sphere of light!
"Buzz—!"
In an instant, a sky full of golden light completely engulfed her, and a dazzling golden soul ring slowly condensed around her.
The color of the soul ring began to change rapidly: white, yellow, purple… almost without pause, it quickly crossed the thousand-year threshold.
The color transformed into a deep black!
