Chapter 81 Top of the List
It was a completely different kind of pressure from the wild and domineering Dragon God. It was more vast and profound, as if an entire universe had collapsed into a single point and was suspended overhead.
A silver-haired figure stood by the lake, her silver hair cascading down to her ankles.
Unlike the other ferocious beasts, Gu Yuena did not kneel down. Instead, she raised her head, her purple eyes reflecting the rolling golden-red clouds in the sky.
As the Silver Dragon King, she inherited the Dragon God's control and wisdom over the elements. Although she is now seriously injured, her inherent pride remains.
But now, that arrogance is being replaced by astonishment little by little.
Gu Yuena stretched out a hand, seemingly wanting to touch the golden light falling through the barrier, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"Di Tian."
Gu Yuena spoke, her voice cool yet filled with undisguised curiosity.
"Tell me, what exactly is this top-ranked thing?"
Di Tian was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to reply.
Since this golden list is the Martial Soul Ranking, the first place is naturally the Martial Soul.
What kind of martial spirit can cause such a commotion before even appearing?
The second-ranked "Boundless Ice Prison Sword" was already outrageous enough; even he felt a fatal threat from it. So what about the first-ranked one...?
"Fu Xuan is ranked third, and Jing Liu is ranked second."
Gu Yuena withdrew her hand, placing it behind her back, her gaze still fixed on the sky.
"That man named Jing Yuan has turned his subordinates into monsters."
"I'm also very curious about what the martial spirit of the person who can control these monsters looks like."
At this point, a glint of light flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes.
She had previously received the "Dragon God Transformation" reward for seventh place, and knew how prestigious this list was.
The fact that this number one can surpass Jing Liu, who possesses a million-year soul ring and divine skills, means that this person is definitely not an ordinary individual.
"Could it also be a sword?"
Gu Yuena muttered to herself.
"No, Mirror Style is already the pinnacle of swordsmanship."
"Is that a beast spirit? A true dragon?"
She shook her head, doubting herself.
Even she, who inherited the power of the Dragon God, felt palpitations in the face of that oppressive aura. If it were some kind of dragon-type martial soul, she should have felt a connection through her bloodline.
But this oppressive aura was unfamiliar and immense, and did not belong to any of the mythical beasts in her memory.
"Whether it's a human or a god."
Gu Yuena's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"To be able to display such power in this dimension, the owner of the number one Martial Soul Ranking must be extraordinary."
"If I had the chance, I would really like to visit that Luofu Immortal Ship."
"Let's see what kind of being could change the color of the sky over the Douluo Continent."
Di Tian, who was listening from the side, was terrified.
Is the Lord going to see that terrifying fellow?
But he dared not refute, and could only bury his head even lower, silently praying that the first place winner was not a madman who was hostile to soul beasts.
...
Heaven Dou City, the residence of the Five Elements Academy.
Although the Four Elements Academy has merged, the original elites of each academy have not been scattered, and most of them are currently gathered near the simulated training area in the central square.
The lively sounds of sparring and the clash of soul skills that used to fill the air have all disappeared today.
No one was in the mood to cultivate.
The commotion in the sky was so great that it was impossible for anyone to calm down.
A group of beautiful women were sitting around the rest area by the square. Although they were all exceptional beauties, their faces were filled with solemnity and curiosity.
Shui Bing'er sat in the very middle.
As the eleventh-ranked person on the Martial Soul Ranking, although she didn't make it into the top ten, the reward was enough to transform her completely.
At this moment, however, she frowned slightly, holding a cup of tea in her hand, but didn't take a sip for a long time.
"Sis, can you feel it?"
Shui Yu'er came closer and waved her hand in front of Shui Bing'er's eyes.
"That feeling was even more terrifying than the ice sword from that Jingliu sister just now."
"It was cold before, but this... it feels like a mountain is pressing on my chest, making it hard to breathe."
Shui Bing'er snapped out of her reverie, put down her teacup, and nodded.
"Um."
"When Senior Jingliu's sword intent erupted just now, my Ice Phoenix Martial Soul trembled. That was an absolute suppression in terms of attributes."
"But this first place..."
Shui Bing'er looked up at the sky, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
"It feels like it has no attributes whatsoever, it's just... strong."
"So strong that it leaves no room for resistance."
"Oh dear, this is so frustrating!"
A fiery red figure suddenly stood up; it was Huo Wu.
She was naturally impatient, and now, seeing the list of successful candidates dragging on without any new words appearing, she was so anxious that she paced around in circles.
"How much longer will this golden list be kept under wraps?"
"Whether it's a dragon or a worm, show it to us now!"
"I'm so curious! What kind of weapon or monster did the first place winner use?"
Huo Wu stood with her hands on her hips, looking displeased.
"Tang San is ranked eighth, and Bibi Dong is ranked ninth. If the first place doesn't have some real skills, I won't accept it."
Dugu Yan, who was leaning against a pillar, was playing with a strand of purple hair in her hand. She chuckled softly when she heard this.
"Huo Wu, there's no use in being anxious."
"When a big shot like this makes an appearance, he has to have some kind of grand entrance."
"Besides, don't compare Tang San to others."
Dugu Yan had a sharp eye and could see right through things.
"Didn't you see those guys before them? Fu Xuan, Jing Liu, aren't they all divine beings?"
"The martial spirit of this number one player may have already exceeded our understanding of the word 'martial spirit'."
Ye Lingling, sitting in the corner, remained silent.
She hugged her knees, her black clothes making her skin appear exceptionally fair.
At this moment, she couldn't help but whisper a comment:
"You all say..."
"Where is General Jing Yuan, the one who won first place?"
Upon hearing this, the women immediately perked up.
Gossip is a woman's nature, and even Soul Masters are no exception.
"It must be on that fairy ship." Shui Yu'er's eyes lit up. "I heard that fairy ship is as big as a city, and it can fly in the sky. It's full of treasures."
"I want to know what he looks like."
Huo Wu pursed her lips, but her eyes also revealed curiosity.
"To be able to suppress so many monster subordinates and rank ahead of old guys like Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, he must be an old man with a white beard, right?"
"Not necessarily."
Shui Bing'er shook her head, the image of the young Yan Qing appearing in her mind.
"Yan Qing is so young and he already has the strength of a Title Douluo. His master may not necessarily be an old man."
"And..."
Shui Bing'er's gaze deepened.
"Once the number one martial soul on the martial soul ranking appears in the world, it means that the owner has the power to suppress the entire continent."
"Who will rule the Douluo Continent in the future will probably depend on the next moment."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Yes.
This is absolute power.
