Chapter 79 Fu Xuan Makes His Move
Without waiting for the women's reaction, Jing Yuan waved his sleeve and strode out.
"Yukong, come with me to the main hall."
Watching Jing Yuan's somewhat hurried departure, Qingque dropped the mahjong tiles in her hand onto the table with a "clatter".
This is such good fortune that I've been working so hard to accumulate!
Finally, the general with his eyes closed has agreed!
If he wins just one more game, maybe he can...
Qingque turned her head angrily and stared intently at Yukong, who was standing still.
That look in her eyes was so resentful, as if someone had stolen the last piece of lotus root cake from her.
"Master Yukong!"
Couldn't you have come a quarter of an hour later?
"Even just having a sip of tea at the door would be nice!"
Yukong was somewhat puzzled by Qingque's glare and raised an eyebrow.
"How?"
"Did I disturb some important military matters?"
Qingque puffed out her cheeks and angrily scrambled the cards in front of her.
"There are no major military secrets."
"But you've interrupted something very important in my life!"
"Next time something like this happens, could you at least cough twice outside first?"
"This is infuriating!"
Above Jialing Pass, a golden scroll of imperial edicts stretched across the sky, dyeing the clouds with a dazzling golden and red hue.
That was an oppressive force powerful enough to crush eternity.
The shock brought by the second-place "Boundless Ice Prison Sword" had not yet dissipated, and the chill that made even a Title Douluo feel his soul freeze still lingered in the air. However, everyone's gaze had to be taken away from that line of words and stared intently at the very top of the scroll.
There, the mist churned, and golden light was brewing.
Top of the list.
This is not just a ranking, but a mountain weighing on the hearts of all Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent.
Even Jingliu, who possesses a million-year soul ring, purified inner demons, and a divinely bestowed soul ring, is ranked second. Just who is this number one?
Shrek Academy's headquarters.
The once noisy camp was now completely silent. Flender took off his crystal glasses and kept wiping them with the corner of his clothes, but his hands were trembling violently.
Zhao Wuji crossed his arms, his brows furrowed into a deep frown. In the eyes of this man who revered strength, the list in the sky was beyond his comprehension.
"The other woman."
Dai Mubai broke the silence, looking at Tang San beside him, his voice somewhat hoarse.
"What do you think will be the first place winner?"
"Even that crazy woman Bibi Dong is only ranked ninth, and Jingliu, who can go toe-to-toe with a god, is second... Could the first place be a god-king descended from the divine realm?"
Tang San was no longer as composed as before.
He gripped the Trident of Poseidon tightly, his blue-gold eyes fixed on the sky, and shook his head.
"I have no idea."
"But this aura is more vast than the light of the Sea God, and purer than the killing intent of the Asura God."
"If the sword intent of the senior Jingliu was the ultimate stillness, then the feeling I get from the upcoming first place is... an unshakable majesty."
Just as everyone was speculating, a slightly hoarse but confident voice rang out.
"There's no need to panic excessively."
Yu Xiaogang walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back.
Although his soul power was weak, he stood tall and proud, his face bearing his signature stiff expression, while his eyes gleamed with a light known as "wisdom".
"Teacher?" Tang San quickly turned around and bowed.
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Shrek Seven Devils, his tone resolute.
"Although this golden list is extraordinary, it cannot escape the essential category of martial souls."
"The top-ranked ones are mostly manifestations of extreme effort or extreme elements."
"Since Jingliu's martial soul is a sword, which is the pinnacle of weapon martial souls, then the top spot must be the ultimate beast martial soul."
At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.
"In this world, the pinnacle of beast martial souls is the dragon."
"Not those sub-dragons or pseudo-dragons, but the true bloodline of the Dragon God."
Ma Hongjun scratched his head, his chubby face full of confusion.
"Master, are you talking about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? But the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family has been wiped out."
"Shallow."
Yu Xiaogang glanced at him, then his gaze fell on Luo Sanpao, who was humming and groaning beside him.
This creature, resembling both a pig and a dog, is lying on the ground, rooting in the soil, looking rather endearing.
But in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, this is his lifelong pride.
"Although the Three Cannons are weakened due to mutation, this is only temporary."
"Within its body flows the bloodline of the Golden Sacred Dragon, a being comparable to the Dragon King."
"In terms of potential, Luo Sanpao is even qualified to challenge the legendary position of 'Dragon God'."
"Since this Golden List can uncover potential and reward million-year soul rings and divine skills, its evaluation criteria are definitely not limited to current combat strength."
Yu Xiaogang became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see Luo Sanpao transforming into a dragon and dominating all others.
"I have a feeling."
"This first place might be a mutated martial soul that no one would expect."
"Even... a golden holy dragon with unlimited evolutionary potential!"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance. Although they didn't say anything, the suspicion in their eyes was impossible to hide.
This is ridiculous.
Can a pig that attacks with farts possibly overpower an ice sword that cleaves the heavens?
"Master, this is a bit too much…" Zhu Zhuqing, with her aloof nature, hesitated before speaking.
Nothing is impossible.
Xiao Wu suddenly interrupted, linking her arm with Tang San's, her big eyes filled with resentment.
She couldn't stand that the people from Luofu Immortal Ship kept dominating the rankings.
Especially that woman named Fu Xuan, her arrogant attitude just now was even more annoying than Bibi Dong.
"I also think the master is right."
"That so-called Luofu Immortal Ship is nothing more than relying on some strange and unusual treasures."
"What Fu Xuan, what Yanqing, I've never even heard of them."
"In my opinion, first place should definitely be ours."
Xiao Wu became more and more excited as she spoke, pointing to the pink figure floating in mid-air in the distance—that was Fu Xuan, who had just appeared and shocked the entire audience.
"Hey! You short woman!"
"Aren't you good at calculating?"
"Then you do the math, isn't this number one going to surpass your Luofu Immortal Ship?"
"Don't think that general is so great. He's hiding his true colors and might just be a coward!"
"I think once the first place is announced, you should all tuck your tails between your legs and run back to that lousy ship!"
Xiao Wu's clear voice, amplified by her soul power, resonated throughout the entire camp.
Tang San's expression changed, and he wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
"Xiao Wu, watch your words!"
These words were spoken.
The temperature suddenly dropped in what was once a relatively peaceful environment.
It wasn't the cold of ice and snow, but a heavy pressure, like a mountain collapsing, that instantly descended upon the Shrek Academy members.
In mid-air.
Fu Xuan had been resting with her eyes closed, waiting for the answer to be revealed on the list of successful candidates.
Upon hearing this, she suddenly opened her eyes.
