Chapter 131 Soul Master Power Ranking, Number One!
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong's face instantly turned incredibly ugly.
A trace of unbelievable jealousy and killing intent flashed in her eyes.
She had always thought that her twin martial souls and three red soul rings were the pinnacle of the continent.
But Li Bai's appearance had shattered her pride.
"To defeat a god-level powerhouse beyond one's level..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, and the Rakshasa divine power around her uncontrollably dissipated.
"Impossible! How could a mortal defeat a god?"
"This ranking must be fake!"
She couldn't accept this fact.
How much she had paid and how much pain she had endured for the Rakshasa God Trial, barely managing to touch the threshold of godhood.
But Li Bai had actually been able to defeat a nascent god-level powerhouse.
This made her feel an unprecedented sense of defeat.
On Seagod Island.
Tang Chen looked at the information on the sky, a solemn smile on his face.
"A true god among swordsmen... capable of defeating god-level experts beyond their level, Li Bai, what is your true origin!"
A strong fighting spirit surged within him.
He wished he could immediately fly to the Beidou Academy and spar with Li Bai.
A hint of amazement flashed in Poseidon's azure eyes.
"To fight against a god-level expert with a mortal body."
"Li Bai's swordsmanship has reached an unbelievable level."
"The Beidou Academy is indeed a place where dragons and tigers reside."
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo Chen Xin slowly closed his eyes.
He knew that the pinnacle of swordsmanship he had pursued throughout his life was nothing but a joke in front of Li Bai.
"A true god among swordsmen, capable of fighting against god-level experts..."
Chen Xin murmured to himself, his voice tinged with bitterness.
"I might only reach the Limit Douluo level in my entire life, but he has already managed to fight against a god-level opponent."
"Is this the difference?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Chen Xin, don't be too sad. A figure like Li Bai is one in a thousand years."
"His swordsmanship is not something we can replicate. You are already the sword king of our era."
Chen Xin slowly opened his eyes, and the disappointment in his eyes gradually turned into a trace of determination.
"No."
He raised his head, looking at Li Bai's name on the sky, a fervent glint in his eyes.
"His appearance isn't about making me give up, but about showing me a higher peak."
"Although I may never reach his height, I will keep striving towards that goal."
Inside the Heavenly Dou Empire's palace.
Qian Renxue looked at the information on the sky, her golden eyes filled with solemnity.
She had originally thought that as long as she completed the Angel God Trial and inherited the Angel Godhood, she would become the strongest on the continent.
But Li Bai's appearance made her realize that even gods are not invincible.
"To defeat a god-level expert beyond one's level…"
Qian Renxue murmured softly, "Li Bai, what kind of monster are you?"
The sense of urgency in her heart grew stronger.
She wished she could immediately return to the Spirit Hall to accelerate the progress of the Angel God Trial.
Beidou Academy.
Li Bai held a wine gourd and took a sip of fine wine.
A carefree smile appeared on his face.
The golden pillar of light descending from the sky merged into his body, making the sword intent around him even more condensed and pure.
"Can he even surpass a God of War..."
Li Bai muttered to himself, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Even gods are not invincible."
The Azure Lotus Sword in his hand trembled slightly, emitting a clear, melodious sword cry, as if in response to his words.
Lu Xiao looked at his carefree and unrestrained appearance and smiled faintly: "Li Bai, congratulations, your swordsmanship has improved another step."
Li Bai turned his head, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Lu Xiao, and smiled: "If it weren't for the Dean's guidance, I wouldn't have been able to reach this level today."
He paused, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"Dean, the first place should be yours, right?"
Lu Xiao didn't answer, but instead looked up at the sky, a deep light flashing in his eyes.
The gaze of the entire Douluo Continent was now focused on the sky.
Third place was Sun Wukong, and second place was Li Bai.
These two are core powerhouses of the Beidou Academy, each more terrifying than the last.
So, who is the number one?
Just then, "Boom boom boom!"
The entire sky underwent another dramatic change!
The already dazzling golden light suddenly surged violently like a boiling ocean!
An aura far more vast, ancient, and majestic than when Li Bai and Sun Wukong appeared slowly spread out, enveloping the entire Douluo Continent!
All things fell silent!
All living beings, whether human or soul beast, felt an indescribable awe and insignificance from the depths of their souls.
Everyone understood.
The long-awaited moment had finally arrived!
The Soul Master Power Ranking, the number one, was about to be revealed!
Although they already had the answer in their hearts, when this moment truly arrived, everyone's hearts were still in their throats.
Their gazes were fixed on the center of that boiling golden light, waiting to confirm what kind of existence surpassed "True God of Swords" Li Bai!
"Buzz!"
In the center of that extremely dazzling pillar of light...
Lines of characters, seemingly formed directly from the runes of the Great Dao, slowly emerged, carrying an unparalleled majesty that suppressed eternity and ruled the universe.

Silence!
Deathly silence!
When the words "Level 100," along with the mind-blowing "eight red and two gold" and the utterly incomprehensible "colored soul rings," came into view, the entire Douluo Continent seemed to be frozen in time.
Everyone was petrified, staring blankly at the sky.
Their minds were blank, and they even forgot to breathe.
Level 100!
A true god-level!
Three-life martial soul!
Eight red and two gold!
A terrifying configuration that surpasses Li Bai's soul rings!
And then there were those mysterious, colorful spirit rings, and the description in the evaluation of "possessing the power to create and destroy worlds"...
This was not just powerful, but completely beyond the boundaries of their imagination!
"A god... a true god..."
After an unknown amount of time, someone broke the silence with a dreamlike voice.
The next moment, the entire continent was in complete uproar!
The sound waves were more frenzied and more shocking than ever before!
"Level 100! He's become a god!"
"Eight red and two gold! Both of his martial souls are eight red and two gold!"
"And there's a martial soul with only two spirit rings? And they're colorful? What is that?"
"The power to create and destroy worlds... This is no ordinary god, is it?"
"The Dean of Beidou Academy... He's actually a god! Humanity has become a god!"
Panic, awe, worship, disbelief... all sorts of complex emotions intertwined in the hearts of countless soul masters.
The god they had always worshipped and pursued had now appeared at the top of the list in such an incredibly shocking way.
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong staggered back a step, crashing into the Papal throne, her face ashen.
All her ambitions, all her schemes seemed so laughable and insignificant before the "level 100" and the "heaven-defying soul ring configuration."
She finally understood.
She was facing an existence she simply couldn't contend with.
"Three-life martial soul, a level 100 true god…" she murmured absently.
For the first time, a look of near despair appeared in her eyes.
