"Zhu Qing, you're the fastest, use your speed to hold them off from the flank."
"Fatty, Oscar, you two fly into the air and provide cover for me with Phoenix Fire and Sausage."
"Rongrong, give me a full set of amplification!"
"I'll lead the attack. Even if it means getting seriously injured, I'll take down that woman instantly!"
"clear!"
The Shrek members responded in unison, their expressions solemn.
The turning point in the battle was due to just one person.
Dai Mubai gripped the War God Axe tightly with both hands, his muscles bulging, and his soul power began to circulate wildly within his body.
Golden lightning and white qi swirled around him, and an unparalleled sharp aura shot straight into the sky.
He had already locked onto the silver figure on the city wall.
One strike!
He was going to use his strongest attack to shatter that support-type Soul Master along with the city wall beneath her feet!
However, just as he had gathered his strength to its peak and was about to burst forth—
Boom!!!
The giant golden scroll in the sky suddenly burst forth with light ten times brighter than before!
The golden light was so dazzling that everyone on the entire battlefield, whether from the Heaven Dou Empire or the Martial Soul Empire, subconsciously squinted and looked up at the sky.
Dai Mubai's offensive involuntarily came to a halt.
Everyone's heart was in their throat at that moment.
It's here!
The nineteenth place will be announced!
Golden text began to slowly appear on the list.
[Ranked nineteenth on the Douluo Continent Power Ranking!]
[Who made the list: Ye Lingling!]
[Identity: Respected Elder of the Martial Soul Empire, owner of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul.]
...
After a brief silence.
On the Jialing Pass city wall, the taxis, which had been in a slump due to Dai Mubai's divine power, were instantly ignited!
"Ye Lingling? It's Ye Gongfeng! Ye Gongfeng is on the list!"
A Soul Master who had just been healed was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he raised his arms and shouted.
"Great! We're saved! With Master Ye here, we're practically immortal!"
"Nineteenth place! Ye Gongfeng is actually ranked nineteenth!"
"Hahaha, that guy with the axe is number 20. Ye Gongfeng is even stronger than him!"
"The Spirit Empire will prevail!"
"The Spirit Empire will prevail!!"
A thunderous roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, echoed from Jialing Pass, shaking the heavens and sweeping away the previous dejection, bringing morale to its peak.
At the foot of the city wall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
"A support-type Soul Master... actually made the list?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice even changed slightly.
Ghost Douluo spoke up: "Moreover, his ranking is even above Dai Mubai's... How is that possible?"
Their worldview was shaken like never before.
...
Meanwhile, at Jialing Pass, inside the command post on the city tower.
Wearing a magnificent long dress and a nine-curved purple-gold crown, Qian Renxue was watching every move on the battlefield through a huge crystal mirror.
When she saw Ye Lingling climb to the nineteenth place on the Heavenly Ranking, even she, with her calm and serene golden eyes, was suddenly stirred by a ripple.
"Ye Lingling..."
She murmured the name softly, a hint of surprise appearing on her exquisite face.
She has always valued Ye Lingling highly.
This emphasis stems from the unique strategic value of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
In her view, Ye Lingling was the empire's most important logistical support and the trump card that could turn the entire legion into an immortal legion.
But she never imagined that Ye Lingling's personal strength would be enough to make her onto the Heavenly Dao Golden List.
He is even ranked above Dai Mubai, who obtained the divine weapon, the War God Axe.
"His Majesty."
Standing below Qian Renxue, the tall and imposing Golden Crocodile Douluo, whose aura was as solid as a mountain, was equally shocked.
"This Master Ye... I have misjudged him."
"She's actually that strong?"
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, her golden eyes flashing with an uncertain light.
She did not answer Golden Crocodile Douluo's question, but she already had a plan in mind.
Ye Lingling's value may be much greater than she expected.
...
At the distant summit of the Tianshan Mountains, a sea of clouds surges.
Luo Chen and Shui Bing'er stood side by side on the back of a giant white tiger, both gazing at the golden scroll reflecting the battlefield of Jialing Pass.
When Ye Lingling's name and identity came to light, a hint of surprise flashed in Shui Bing'er's clear, cold eyes, which then turned into understanding.
"It's Junior Sister Lingling."
Her voice was soft, tinged with nostalgia.
Luo Chen hummed in agreement, his gaze calm.
"Nine-Heart Begonia, passed down through a single lineage, with only one heir in each generation."
"They are natural healers and people who are closest to the source of life."
"It's not surprising that I made it onto this list."
...
Below Jialing Pass.
The announcement of the Heavenly Ranking was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves.
The morale of the Martial Soul Empire was soaring, while the Heaven Dou Empire fell into a deathly silence.
Every soldier's face was filled with confusion and fear.
A support Soul Master who can instantly heal thousands of wounded soldiers and even regenerate severed limbs?
How can we fight this war?
Should we rush in and die?
A sense of despair spread through the ranks of the army like a plague.
The atmosphere in Shrek's camp was even more tense, reaching a freezing point.
"impossible!"
Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the names on the Heavenly Ranking, the veins on the back of his hand gripping the War God Axe bulging.
He let out a low, unwilling growl.
"Why should I be inferior to a support-type Soul Master?!"
His pride and self-esteem were mercilessly trampled underfoot and crushed to pieces by the Heavenly Ranking at this moment.
"This list is problematic, absolutely problematic!"
Zhu Zhuqing's breathing also became somewhat rapid, her full chest rising and falling.
"What exactly are the criteria for judging the Heavenly Ranking?"
A pure support-type Soul Master with no offensive capabilities, yet ranked above a powerful attack-type Title Douluo.
This completely overturned her understanding.
Ning Rongrong's face was the most unpleasant.
"Nine-Heart Begonia..."
She bit her lip, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
"I also possess a support-type martial soul, and my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the best in the world when it comes to amplification capabilities!"
"Why can she be on the list, but I can't?"
"This list is definitely fake!"
Oscar picked up the sausage that had fallen on the ground and said angrily.
"It must be the Spirit Hall's doing! They're just bluffing!"
Compared to the anger and confusion of the others, Ma Hongjun's gaze was fixed on the silver figure on the city wall, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
Aloof, stunningly beautiful, and powerful.
This woman is really something else.
If you could have this aloof, otherworldly fairy pinned down... well, that feeling...
The evil fire within him began to stir uncontrollably once again.
Although the problem of the evil fire has been resolved during the trip to Poseidon Island.
But his inherent flaws never changed.
