Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue Enter the Rankings

The Peerless Prodigy Ranking continued to reveal its placements.

"Sixth place, Bibi Dong, a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo. Reward: Ignore the theoretical limit of Soul Ring absorption for Soul Masters and increase the age of any Soul Ring by six hundred thousand years."

"The Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, made the rankings. I never expected her to be only sixth."

"Brother, sixth place is already terrifying talent. Didn't you see His Holiness the Pontiff's Soul Power Level? She's a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo."

"If I remember correctly, His Holiness the Pontiff is only fifty this year, right? Her talent truly is terrifying."

"Ahem, brother, you're bold. Don't you know a woman's age is taboo? It's best not to mention it at all."

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin were all somewhat puzzled upon seeing Bibi Dong ranked sixth. They all knew exactly what Bibi Dong's talent was like. She was the second person in the history of Douluo Continent to possess Twin Martial Souls, had resolved the conflict between them, and had once been the youngest Title Douluo on the continent. Spirit Hall had hailed her as the strongest genius.

Yet such a genius was only ranked sixth. Just who were the five people above her?

Had they once been famous throughout the continent?

Heaven Dou Empire.

Xue Ye sat in his carriage, heading toward Moonlight Pavilion.

A servant outside the carriage said, "Your Majesty, Her Holiness Bibi Dong, the Pontiff of Spirit Hall, has entered the rankings. She is ranked sixth on the Prodigy Ranking."

"What? Sixth place? How is that possible? She was the strongest genius of her generation. How could her ranking be so low?" Xue Ye said in shock. Then he calmed down and said, "There are still five people on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking yet to be revealed. I wonder which five geniuses they are. How many of them belong to our empire or the Star Luo Empire? Or perhaps Spirit Hall?"

A royal consecrated protector hidden in the shadows said softly, "Your Majesty, do not worry. Our Heaven Dou Empire is rich in talent and resources, and there are many advanced Spirit Academies and sects within our borders. If any geniuses emerge, they are highly likely to come from these academies."

"I hope so. Who can guarantee the appearance of such geniuses?"

Xue Ye sighed and said nothing more.

Clear Sky Sect.

When the Tang Family elders saw Pontiff Bibi Dong ranked sixth, they all heaved a deep sigh of relief. To them, Bibi Dong's talent was simply too terrifying. She was more than twenty years younger than them, yet she had become a Title Douluo at such an early age, while they had only broken through level ninety in their seventies. Even at sixth place, the reward of six hundred thousand additional Soul Ring years was enough to make them envious. If it were given to any one of them, their Soul Power Level might rise directly from level ninety to level ninety-four.

Spirit City, outside the Pontiff's Palace.

Bibi Dong stood there with her scepter in hand. Seeing her ranking caused great turmoil in her heart. She had never expected to rank only sixth. Proud by nature, she found it somewhat difficult to accept, but she had no choice but to admit that there were geniuses in this world with even more terrifying talent than hers. For instance, her daughter, Qian Renxue. With her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, she was the greatest genius of the Angel Lineage, and her talent was even more outstanding than Bibi Dong's. Bibi Dong wondered what rank she would attain.

Bibi Dong applied the six hundred thousand years of Soul Ring age granted by the Heavenly Dao to her ninth Soul Ring. Its hundred-thousand-year age instantly rose to seven hundred thousand years. As her Soul Power surged violently, she directly broke through the limits of a Peerless Title Douluo and became a new Demigod Title Douluo.

Bibi Dong momentarily lost control, and her aura suddenly burst forth, instantly forcing every Spirit Hall member outside the Pontiff's Palace to the ground.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan struggled desperately to hold on, but after only three seconds, all of them fell to their knees.

Only after Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo released their Soul Power did they manage to withstand Bibi Dong's aura. Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly said, "Your Holiness the Pontiff, please withdraw your aura. Some of our brothers can no longer endure it."

Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, Bibi Dong calmed herself and restrained her aura. Only then did everyone feel the pressure suddenly vanish, though cold sweat still streamed down their bodies. They had truly felt as though they were about to step through death's door. His Holiness the Pontiff had grown stronger again; they simply could not withstand that aura.

At the Elder Hall several hundred meters away, Qian Daoliu sensed Bibi Dong's erupting aura and immediately knew that she had absorbed the Soul Power enhancement granted by the Heavenly Dao. He had experienced this feeling himself. Bibi Dong had also become a Demigod Title Douluo. His decision to tacitly approve of her becoming Pontiff had indeed been correct. Her growth in strength was truly terrifying!

My son, my son, why did you have to do something so foolish? Though you are dead, your disciple's heart does not stand with our Angel Lineage—the Qian Family.

I wonder what rank Xue'er, that genius with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, will achieve?

The Peerless Prodigy Ranking continued its announcements, and the golden light upon it grew ever brighter.

"Fifth place, Qian Renxue. Reward: Ignore the theoretical limit of Soul Ring absorption for Soul Masters and increase the age of any Soul Ring by seven hundred thousand years."

"Qian Renxue? What an unfamiliar name. But the Qian surname seems to belong to the Angel Lineage family of Spirit Hall, doesn't it?"

"Then Qian Renxue should be the daughter of the previous Pontiff! We haven't heard her name in all these years. Spirit Hall has done an excellent job keeping its information confidential."

"This must be the child of a great power. Her talent truly is terrifying, surpassing His Holiness the Pontiff."

"Do you think this Qian Renxue might become the next Pontiff?"

"It's very possible! Look, that's seven hundred thousand years of Soul Ring age. Who in the world today possesses a Soul Ring with such a high age?"

When Bibi Dong saw the name enter the rankings, she tightly gripped the scepter in her hand. Her daughter's talent was indeed far superior to hers. Although Qian Renxue was only ranked fifth, Bibi Dong had to admit that when she herself was in her daughter's early twenties, she had not been like Qian Renxue, already a level seventy Soul Sage.

Seeing his granddaughter enter the rankings, Qian Daoliu could not help but feel happy for her. The Soul Power increase brought by seven hundred thousand years of Soul Ring age would definitely allow her to soar from a level seventy Soul Sage all the way to level ninety-five. This was the effect of the Soul Power enhancement brought by higher-aged Soul Rings. Once Xue'er stabilized her Soul Power Level in a few days, this old man would find a time to take her into the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts over a hundred thousand years old and obtain Soul Rings.

At the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince's Palace, Qian Renxue saw her name enter the rankings and received the Heavenly Dao's reward. She immediately turned and entered the cultivation chamber within the palace, directly raising the age of her seventh Soul Ring by seven hundred thousand years. As her Soul Power surged violently, her Soul Power Level rapidly rose: level seventy-one, level seventy-four, level seventy-nine, level eighty-three, level eighty-eight, level ninety-one, level ninety-three. Only after reaching level ninety-four did it finally stop increasing.

Qian Renxue knew that she had suddenly risen so many levels at once and urgently needed to enter seclusion to stabilize her realm. Otherwise, her Soul Power Level could decline at any time. However, she was currently posing as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and too many matters required her personal attention. If she remained absent for too long, she would reveal many flaws. Then the plan to usurp the throne might be exposed, which would be extremely detrimental to Spirit Hall's future plans.
