The Power of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion

[Douluo Continent Soul Beast Power Ranking, Twentieth Place: Three-Eyed Golden Lion!]

A majestic voice carrying an ancient aura unveiled the Soul Beast Ranking.

The twentieth line of the Golden Ranking lit up with a brilliant golden radiance, as though it contained the trajectories of fate.

An elegant and noble figure emerged.

She resembled a lion, with dragon-like claws and a body covered in translucent golden fur, as if she had been carved from crystal.

Only the vertical eye on her forehead, shimmering with splendid crimson light, seemed to contain all the wisdom and fortune in the world.

[Name: Three-Eyed Golden Lion (Imperial Auspicious Beast)]

[Affiliation: Star Dou Great Forest (Embodiment of Auspiciousness)]

[Cultivation Years: Sixty Thousand Years (Due to her special nature, her actual growth rate and combat power far surpass her years of cultivation)]

[Bloodline Level: Top-tier (An embodiment of destiny and auspiciousness, blessed by heaven)]

[Combat Power Assessment: As the Imperial Auspicious Beast, she is favored by the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest and controls the dual extreme attributes of Extreme Light and Extreme Fire. Though she has only sixty thousand years of cultivation, her true combat power is enough to rival that of a one-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year soul beast! Her Eye of Destiny can glimpse the trajectories of fate, and her abilities are mysterious and unpredictable. She bestows an overall fortune enhancement upon the Soul Beast Clan. Due to her special nature, she is extremely difficult to kill. Comprehensive Assessment: ranked twentieth.]

[Reward: Auspicious Source enhanced, Soul Beast Year Increase of ten thousand years, deeper insight into the Power of Destiny!]

"Three-Eyed Golden Lion! It's actually her!"

"The Imperial Auspicious Beast! The legendary auspicious beast of the soul beast world!"

"Sixty thousand years of cultivation, yet combat power comparable to one hundred and fifty thousand years? Th-This... how is that possible?"

"Her reward... an enhancement to the Auspicious Source? That's wonderful news for the entire Soul Beast Clan!"

Across the entire Douluo Continent, especially among Human Soul Masters, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's appearance on the ranking caused an enormous shock.

Most of them knew of the auspicious beast's existence.

But they had never imagined that a sixty-thousand-year soul beast could possess such heaven-defying combat power.

She had even made it onto this top ranking encompassing all soul beasts!

Within Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe and the others wore exceptionally grave expressions.

"Three-Eyed Golden Lion... she truly is extraordinary."

Yan Shaozhe said solemnly, "Teacher, look at this assessment. Sixty thousand years rivaling one hundred and fifty thousand years... this is simply unheard of. And she's only ranked twentieth..."

Xian Lin'er continued, disbelief in her voice, "Even an existence like the auspicious beast, with dual extreme attributes, can only rank twentieth?"

"How powerful must the soul beasts ahead of her be? The Ten Great Ferocious Beasts... perhaps they truly won't be able to occupy the top ten!"

Xuan Zi muttered, "Sigh, those soul beasts have hidden themselves far too well. A little fellow with only sixty thousand years of cultivation is already this formidable—what about those old monsters that have lived for hundreds of thousands of years?"

Mu En slowly nodded, confirming their earlier suspicions. "It seems that the waters of the Star Dou Great Forest, and even the entire soul beast world, run far deeper than we have seen. This Golden Ranking is revealing it all."

"Pass down the order: from now on, no students may venture into the Mixed Zone or deeper regions of the Star Dou Great Forest without an instructor accompanying them! Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished!"

A shadow fell over the hearts of all the elders.

The strength of the Soul Beast Clan seemed to far exceed their estimations.

Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay sprawled across a patch of soft grass, feeling an immense golden pillar of light infused with warm, auspicious energy pour into her body.

Her Auspicious Source became more solid, and the beneficial effects she granted to the surrounding soul beasts seemed to have grown even stronger.

Her Cultivation Years directly soared to seventy thousand years!

More importantly, she gained a deeper yet still hazy perception of that profound and inscrutable Power of Destiny.

She comfortably narrowed her splendid vertical eye and let out a lazy, contented hum.

Gu Yuena looked at her, a hint of gentleness appearing on her cool face. "This little one is rather lucky."

Lu Chen smiled. "Favored by fortune, blessed by heaven."

"If she were not so playful and negligent in her cultivation, with her foundation, she might have ranked even higher."

"Still, making the ranking and receiving a reward is ultimately a good thing. It will also benefit the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest."

Just as the various powers across the continent were still reeling from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's ranking and strength, the Golden Ranking flashed again:

[Douluo Continent Soul Beast Power Ranking, Nineteenth Place: Titan Snow Demon King!]

The nineteenth line of the Golden Ranking lit up with icy blue light.

An incomparably massive figure emerged, as though it had been condensed from ten thousand years of profound ice.

It roared, radiating extreme cold and an overwhelming sense of power.

[Name: Titan Snow Demon King]

[Affiliation: Extreme North]

[Cultivation Years: Two Hundred Thousand Years]

[Bloodline Level: Top-tier (Possesses the Ancient Ice God Bloodline)]

[Combat Power Assessment: One of the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North, possessing incomparably powerful physical strength and the ability to control the Extreme Cold Ice Attribute. Its Ancient Ice God Bloodline endowed it with immense potential and absolute control over ice elements. Its comprehensive combat power ranked among the very best among Two-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Comprehensive Assessment: Nineteenth place.]

[Reward: Soul Beast Year Increase of twenty thousand years, Ancient Ice God Bloodline concentration increased by 10%, ice-attribute power evolved into Extreme Ice!]

"Titan Snow Demon King! One of the overlords of the Extreme North!"

"Two hundred thousand years of cultivation, yet it only ranked nineteenth?"

"Ice God Bloodline! It even evolved Extreme Ice?"

The continent erupted into an uproar once more!

The Titan Snow Demon King was a notorious giant of the Extreme North, recorded in the tomes of Human Soul Masters.

With two hundred thousand years of cultivation, everyone had thought it should at least rank among the top fifteen, but reality was this cruel!

Extreme North, Core Area.

The Titan Snow Demon King felt the surging power within its body. Its age had risen to two hundred and twenty thousand years, and its bloodline had become even purer.

In particular, the evolved Extreme Ice had brought its control over ice to an entirely new realm.

It could not help but let out an earth-shaking roar, venting the wild joy in its heart!

Not far away stood an incomparably beautiful figure.

It was none other than the ruler of the Extreme North—the Snow Empress.

Beside her, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast watched the excited Titan Snow Demon King with a grave expression. "Snow Empress, even the Titan Snow Demon King only ranked nineteenth... This Ranking list..."

A trace of surprise also crossed the Snow Empress's flawless, ice-cold face.

She nodded gently. "It seems we have been somewhat narrow-minded in the past. The Star Dou Great Forest... over these past few thousand years, it has likely undergone changes beyond our imagination."

They had originally believed that the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North would at least hold steady within the top fifteen.

Now, it seemed the situation was far more complicated than they had anticipated.

The human forces of Shrek, the Body Sect, the Holy Spirit Cult, and others felt even heavier at heart.

Even an existence like the Titan Snow Demon King could only rank nineteenth.

The Soul Beast Clan's top-tier strength had likely reached a level that filled them with fear.

Immediately afterward, the Golden Ranking did not pause and continued its announcements.
