Chapter 46 Genius Ranking.
Mentioning this, Ye Lingling took a deep breath, her eyes still gleaming with shock.
She recalled the earth-shattering scene above the Spirit Hall, her voice carrying a barely perceptible seriousness.
"Teacher Li Bai… he… he merely condensed a giant green lotus sword of sword intent, yet it hovered above the Spirit Hall, suffocating the entire Spirit City…"
"The Pope, elders, and that unfathomable Grand Elder Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall all came out…"
She recounted in detail how Li Bai had stunned everyone with a single sword intent, how he had released those astonishing nine 100,000-year spirit rings, forcing Qian Daoliu to personally order the release of the captors.
"Nine… all 100,000-year red spirit rings…"
Ye Lingling murmured at the end, seemingly still immersed in the shock of that blood-red scene.
"Nine 100,000-year spirit rings?!"
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan gasped simultaneously.
Even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted sharply!
They knew Li Bai was strong, but they never imagined he was this ridiculously strong!
Nine 100,000-year spirit rings!
This was practically a legendary existence!
No wonder even the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall had to bow down!
"Oh my god... we should have known better than to ask for leave!"
Ning Rongrong stamped her foot, looking regretful.
"If only we could see Teacher Li Bai unleash his full power! That's the Spirit Hall headquarters!"
Dugu Yan also felt a deep sense of regret, her eyes filled with longing: "Yes, we really want to see Teacher Li Bai unleash his full power..."
The girls chattered excitedly.
Their admiration for Li Bai was palpable.
Just then... the golden canopy hanging high in the sky once again shone with boundless golden light!
[The Douluo Continent Genius Ranking will be announced in three days!]
[Ranking criteria: Spirit Masters under the age of 25. The top 20 will be ranked based on a comprehensive evaluation of their talent potential, spirit power level, spirit quality, combat strength, and other factors!]
[Those who make the list will all receive a gift from Heaven!]
Ning Rongrong and the others were drawn to the new rankings being announced in the sky.
Ning Rongrong clenched her small fists, her beautiful eyes gleaming with fighting spirit: "The Genius Ranking! I wonder how many spots our Beidou Academy can occupy? And where will we rank?"
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, her gaze resolute.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also looked up, their eyes filled with anticipation. They all wanted to know how far they and their companions would go on this list that gathered the top young geniuses from across the continent.
Perhaps Beidou Academy's reputation would truly resound throughout the continent with this opportunity.
The announcement of this new ranking instantly attracted the attention of all Soul Masters across the continent!
"Genius Ranking! Under 25!"
"My god, this ranking covers a much wider range! As long as you're young and have potential, you have a chance!"
"Talent, level, martial soul, combat power... a comprehensive evaluation, this is much harder than the simple martial soul ranking!"
"I wonder who will make the list? The golden generation of the Spirit Hall? The princes of the two great empires? Or the heirs of those hidden sects?"
"Those little monsters from Shrek Academy, they seem quite young, do they have a chance?"
"..."
The entire continent was once again engulfed in heated discussion and anticipation.
For young soul masters, this was undoubtedly another excellent opportunity to make a name for themselves and gain opportunities.
Many young soul masters who considered themselves exceptionally talented were eager to try, looking forward to the ranking announcement three days later.
Three days passed quickly amidst the anticipation of countless people.
When the dawn of the fourth day arrived again, the sky rippled with familiar waves, golden light converging. The three large characters
[Genius Ranking] shone brightly.
[Genius Ranking, 20th Place: Hu Yanli!]
[Soul Power Level: Level 38, Defensive Battle Soul Master]
[Martial Soul: Diamond Mammoth (Top-tier Defensive Beast Martial Soul)]
[Affiliation: Elephant Armor Academy]
[Evaluation: Extremely strong defensive power, solid foundation, a top defensive Martial Soul among the younger generation.]
[Reward: Soul Power increased by one level, all Soul Rings increased by three hundred years!]
"Huyan Li! The young sect master of the Elephant Armor Sect!"
"The Diamond Mammoth's defensive power is indeed terrifying; I heard even Soul Kings have difficulty breaking through its defenses!"
"Level thirty-eight, not bad at all; worthy of being the heir of one of the four lower sects."
"The three-hundred-year increase in Soul Ring age significantly enhances his defensive capabilities!"
Golden light flowed across the sky, quickly announcing the next ranking.
[Genius Ranking, 19th: Ma Hongjun!]
[Soul Power Level: Level 33, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master]
[Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix (Top-tier mutated beast martial soul, containing phoenix bloodline, immense potential, but with the hidden danger of evil fire)]
[Affiliation: Shrek Academy]
[Evaluation: Extremely high martial soul quality, powerful attack, still young, immense potential, but slightly impetuous, needs guidance.]
[Reward: Soul power increased by one level, all soul rings increased by four hundred years!]
"Ma Hongjun? From Shrek Academy?"
"Evil Fire Phoenix? Sounds amazing! And a top-tier mutated martial soul!"
"Another Shrek Academy member is on the list! Although ranked low, Ma Hongjun is probably young, his future is promising!"
"Hidden danger of evil fire? What's that?"
"..."
Far from Martial Soul City.
The Shrek Academy students, temporarily staying in a remote town, cheered when they saw Ma Hongjun on the list.
"Fatty! That's great! You're on the list!"
Oscar excitedly punched Ma Hongjun.
Dai Mubai nodded with a smile, "Not bad, you didn't embarrass Shrek Academy."
Ma Hongjun himself proudly raised his head, hands on his hips, "That's right, don't you know who I, Ma Hongjun, am! Haha, my soul power increased by one level, and the age of my soul rings also increased! Awesome!"
Only Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, looking at the words "Hidden Danger of Evil Fire," lost in thought.
This evil fire had always been a problem that troubled Ma Hongjun's cultivation, and it seemed that the Heavenly Curtain had also noticed it.
Meanwhile, the various forces on the continent once again added a note to the name "Shrek Academy."
This academy, although seemingly inconspicuous, already had several people on the Heavenly Curtain's list, and should not be underestimated.
Inside the Elephant Armor Sect.
Hu Yanli looked at the list in the sky, feeling the increase in soul power within his body and the more resilient soul rings.
An excited smile first appeared on his rugged face.
Being able to enter this continent-wide prestigious genius list and receive the Heavenly Dao reward was indeed something to be happy about.
"Hmm? Only twentieth place?"
However, when he saw that his ranking was only twentieth.
The nineteenth person ranked ahead of him was a kid from some Shrek Academy he'd hardly ever heard of. When he saw that the kid's soul power level was lower than his own, the smile on his face froze instantly, replaced by a surge of deep resentment and anger.
"Twentieth place? Are you kidding me!"
Hu Yanli roared, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.
"I, Hu Yanli, the young sect master of the Elephant Armor Sect, possess the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul, whose defensive power is unparalleled among my peers!"
"In the entire empire's younger generation, who doesn't know my name? How could I possibly be ranked only twentieth?"
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, especially seeing the description of "potential for evil fire" in Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul evaluation—a clear flaw.
This made him feel the list was unfair.
