Shrek Academy Makes the Ranking Again

[Name: Zhang Peng]

[Affiliation: Holy Spirit Cult (Consecrator)]

[Martial Soul: Scorpion Tiger (Dark Demon Evil God Tiger subspecies)]

[Soul Power Level: Level 95 Assault System Titled Douluo]

[Title: Scorpion Tiger]

[Combat Power Assessment: His Martial Soul is a subspecies of the top-tier evil beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. It innately possesses the traits of Devour and evil, and must constantly devour the blood and souls of spirit beasts to evolve itself. His methods are cruel, and he has once hunted and killed many powerful beings of the same level and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts alone. His infamy is resounding. His Comprehensive Combat Power is extremely strong, and he is especially skilled in prolonged battles and wars of attrition. Comprehensive Assessment: ranked seventeenth.]

[Reward: Soul Power Increased by One Level, all Spirit Ring Lifespans increased by two thousand five hundred years, one random Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone (adapted to evil/beast attributes)]

Shrek Academy.

"Another demon from the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Inside Sea God's Pavilion, the atmosphere could no longer be described as merely solemn. It was practically boiling with killing intent.

"Zhang Peng, that butcher!"

Xuan Zi's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists clenched until they cracked.

"I still remember the misery of that city back then as if it were yesterday. If this fiend isn't eliminated, Heaven itself will not tolerate it!"

Yan Shaozhe's face was ashen. "Such an evil Martial Soul... just how many monsters like this has the Holy Spirit Cult gathered?"

The aura around Mu En became incomparably sharp, like a sword about to be drawn from its sheath.

"Put it on record. Zhang Peng, consecrator of the Holy Spirit Cult. Priority... highest!"

"Once any trace of him is found, kill him at all costs!"

Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters.

A sinister laugh echoed through the Secret Chamber.

"Consecrator Zhang Peng made the Ranking too. Good! Very good!"

Zhongli Wu clapped lightly, his tone filled with pleasure.

"It seems my Holy Spirit Cult truly is overflowing with talent. Even the Heavenly Rules acknowledge our strength."

Feng Ling covered her mouth and laughed. "That madman Zhang Peng received a reward. I'm afraid he'll be off searching for more 'nourishment' to feed his Martial Soul again."

Zhongli Wu remained calm, but the aura around him seemed to stir slightly as well.

"Not bad rewards. Keep watching. My Holy Spirit Cult will never stop here."

In a distant, desolate valley somewhere.

A sinister wind howled, and poisonous miasma filled the air.

Zhang Peng felt the surging growth of power within his body.

And as he looked at the newly appeared right arm soul bone in his hand, glowing with a faint green light, he let out a piercing laugh like a night owl.

"Jie jie jie... Soul power at Level 96, my spirit rings strengthened, and this Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone too!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

He waved the beast soul in his hand, wreathed in black qi.

"It seems it's time to find another city and celebrate properly!"

"You hypocrites of Shrek, what can you do to me? Hahaha!"

Zhang Peng's appearance on the Ranking was like another massive stone dropped into an already turbulent lake.

Evil Soul Masters were making the Ranking one after another and obtaining powerful rewards.

It made every force of the Righteous Path feel pressure and urgency unlike anything before.

However, the Golden Ranking's announcement did not pause in the slightest because of the murderous tension spreading across the continent.

[Douluo Continent Human Spirit Master Power Ranking, Sixteenth Place: Xian Lin'er!]

At last, it was another name belonging to Shrek.

But this time, it made the elders inside Sea God's Pavilion feel even heavier.

The sixteenth line of the Golden Ranking lit up with dazzling radiance.

The illusory figure of a valiant woman appeared. She wore a fitted red outfit, and there was a hint of fieriness and dominance between her brows.

[Name: Xian Lin'er]

[Affiliation: Shrek Academy (Elder of Sea God's Pavilion), Dean of the Soul Tool Department]

[Martial Soul: Azure Flame Dragon]

[Soul Power Level: Level 96 Assault System Titled Douluo, Level 8 Soul Engineer]

[Title: War God]

[Combat Power Assessment: Her Martial Soul, the Azure Flame Dragon, is a top-tier dragon-type Martial Soul, possessing both strength and a special wind-attribute power. Her close-combat ability is extremely strong. At the same time, her attainments in the field of soul tools are extremely high. She has perfectly combined the traits of her Martial Soul with soul tools, developing many unique and powerful close-combat soul tools that integrate offense and defense, giving her fierce combat power. The prototype of the "Dragon Flame Battle Armor" she created herself has further greatly improved her Comprehensive Combat Power. Her personality is unyielding, and her combat style is ferocious. Comprehensive Assessment: ranked sixteenth.]

[Reward: Soul Power Increased by One Level, all Spirit Ring Lifespans increased by three thousand years, Azure Flame Dragon bloodline purified once, one random Level 8 Soul Tool Core Array blueprint!]

"Lin'er..."

Qian Duoduo looked at his wife's name and phantom image, and a hint of proud joy first appeared on his face.

But immediately after, that joy was replaced by enormous worry and disbelief.

"Sixteenth place? This... how is that possible?!"

Xian Lin'er herself felt the surging golden pillar of light pour into her body.

Her Soul Power smoothly broke through to Level 97.

Her Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul became even more solid under the purification of her bloodline.

The temperature of her dragon flame grew higher, its color deepened, and all of her Spirit Rings were strengthened as well.

At the same time, an incomparably complex Core Array blueprint for a Soul Tool fell into her hands.

With just one glance, she determined that it was a precious array capable of greatly amplifying the explosive power of fire-attribute Soul Power.

However, the increase in strength did not bring her much joy.

Xian Lin'er abruptly raised her head and looked toward the Golden Ranking, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Inside Sea God's Pavilion, there was deathly silence.

Xian Lin'er's strength was absolutely among the best of the elders in Sea God's Pavilion!

She was not only a Level 96 Super Douluo.

She was also one of the few who had combined Martial Soul and Soul Tools to the greatest effect.

Her actual combat ability was extremely powerful, so strong that she even dared to challenge Elder Song.

In everyone's mind, Xian Lin'er should at least have ranked in the top fifteen, or even higher!

But now, the ranking given by the Golden Ranking was only sixteenth!

Ahead of her, aside from Wu Yun and Zhang Peng, the two Holy Spirit Cult consecrates who had already been announced, there were still the unknown fifteenth place through first place.

This meant that, in the Golden Ranking's assessment, there were at least fifteen people whose strength surpassed Xian Lin'er at full firepower!

"Lin'er... actually only ranked sixteenth..."

Xuan Zi opened his mouth, his voice somewhat dry.

Even he, a Level 98 Taotie Douluo, felt a little uncertain at this moment.

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath and slowly said, "It seems we still underestimated this ranking list, and we also underestimated the depth hidden across this continent."

"With Dean Xian's strength, she can only rank sixteenth. Then what old monsters are ahead of her?"

"The Holy Spirit Cult—just how many consecrates like Wu Yun and Zhang Peng are they still hiding?"

"That person from the Body Sect... and those families that have remained hidden from the world..."

Cai Meier gave a bitter smile and said, "I ranked twentieth, and I was originally somewhat unwilling to accept it. Now it seems... being able to make the list at all was already luck."

Mu En slowly closed his eyes, then abruptly opened them again, and they were already filled with resolve.

"There is no need to belittle ourselves, but we must recognize reality. The waters of the continent run deeper than we imagined!"

"Pass down the order. Sea God's Pavilion's decision remains unchanged, but contacting the various forces is to be raised to the highest priority!"

"At the same time, the academy will enter a wartime state. All students and teachers outside must heighten their vigilance!"

Xian Lin'er's ranking was like a basin of cold water.

It jolted awake the Shrek higher-ups, who still carried a trace of the pride of being the 'number one academy on the continent.'

They truly realized that what this Golden Ranking brought was not merely opportunity.

It was also an enormous storm that could sweep across the entire continent and reshuffle everything.

And Shrek Academy was by no means able to rest easy within this storm.
