"Peerless Prodigy Ranking?"

Xiao Wu looked at the five glittering golden words on the scroll and said happily, "Little San, you're so outstanding, and you're already a level thirty-four Soul Elder. You'll definitely make the ranking!"

Tang San smiled. "Xiao Wu, don't praise me like that. It's not just me—you all are no slouches either. If you ask me, every one of us Shrek Seven Devils can make the ranking!"

Oscar immediately said smugly, "Of course! Who are we, the Seven Devils? How many people our age could possibly compare to us?"

Dai Mubai patted Oscar on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "Little Oscar, the world is enormous. There are definitely people more outstanding than us, so don't talk too big!"

Zhao Wuji, who was leading the group, said helplessly, "All right, stop praising each other. We'll know once the rankings are announced."

"Rank 100: Feng Xiaotian, level forty-one Soul Ancestor. Reward: Ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by one thousand years."

"Feng Xiaotian? Who's that?" Xiao Wu cried out in surprise.

"I don't know! He probably isn't from the Balak Kingdom," Tang San said calmly.

Whoosh.

Whoosh.

At that moment, everyone from nobles to commoners erupted into an uproar.

"Damn? That's insane! Even rank one hundred gets such a generous reward. What kind of rewards will those peerless prodigies at the very top receive?"

"My god, ignoring the theoretical limit of a Soul Master's Soul Ring absorption—this reward is just too incredible!"

"My god, I really hope I'm on the list. Then I could not only receive generous rewards and become famous throughout the land, but I might even be recruited by an empire or kingdom and granted a noble title, finally escaping my status as a commoner."

"Brother, you're thinking too much. You're just a commoner—what qualifications do you have to compare with disciples from sects and Major Clans? I advise you to stop daydreaming."

"If you don't know how to talk, then get the hell out of my face!"

Within Godwind Academy, Feng Xiaotian stared at the ranking in the sky in shock. He discovered that he had made the list. Although he was only ranked one hundredth, he still valued the reward that could increase a Soul Ring's age by one thousand years. His current Soul Rings were yellow, yellow, purple, purple.

As soon as the ranking was announced, the reward automatically arrived. A streak of golden light flew into his body, and a message informed him that he only needed to choose which Soul Ring to enhance. The Soul Ring would then upgrade automatically.

Feng Xiaotian considered his configuration for a moment and said, "Enhance my second Soul Ring."

A wave of energy erupted from within his body. His four Soul Rings appeared automatically without needing to be summoned. His second Soul Ring burst with brilliant purple light and transformed into a thousand-year Soul Ring. His Soul Power Level rapidly rose, directly breaking through the level forty-three bottleneck and making him a level forty-three Soul Master.

"Captain! You broke through! Just as expected of someone who made the Peerless Prodigy Ranking!"

"Captain, your Soul Rings are now yellow, purple, purple, purple. Your combat power has become even stronger!"

When the headmaster of Godwind Academy saw Feng Xiaotian make the rankings and enhance his second Soul Ring, he was overjoyed. "Xiaotian is a fine lad. Being able to enter the Peerless Prodigy Ranking is an honor for our Godwind Academy. From now on, he will be a role model for all of you students. I had originally worried that, as the team captain, he might lack sufficient strength. Now it seems my worries were unnecessary."

A senior teacher shook his head and said, "Headmaster, there are still ninety-nine prodigies ahead of Xiaotian. I wonder whether the other four elemental academies have prodigies like him as well?"

The headmaster of Godwind Academy glared viciously at the senior teacher who had spoken and said in a sinister tone, "If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. Are you trying to anger me to death?"

That senior teacher chuckled awkwardly and retreated, saying nothing more as he continued watching the ranking in the sky.

"Rank 75: Dai Mubai, level forty Soul Ancestor. Reward: Ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by three thousand years."

Oscar shrieked and said enviously, "Ah, Boss Dai, you're actually rank seventy-five! You can increase a Soul Ring's age by three thousand years!"

Ma Hongjun looked Dai Mubai up and down and said, "Boss, no matter how I look at it, I feel like you shouldn't be ranked this low. If even you're this far down, I have no idea what rank my Phoenix Martial Soul could reach."

Tang San could no longer remain calm. "Brother Dai, that's a three-thousand-year enhancement reward. Which Soul Ring are you planning to enhance?"

Dai Mubai smiled. "My third Soul Ring is only from a thousand-year soul beast. I plan to enhance my third Soul Ring, so my White Tiger Vajra Transformation can become even stronger!"

Yu Xiaogang walked over with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Mubai's choice is excellent. White Tiger Vajra Transformation is a self-enhancement soul skill. The higher its age, the stronger its enhancement effect."

"Mm." Dai Mubai nodded and used the opportunity to increase a Soul Ring's age by three thousand years on his third Soul Ring. His Soul Rings automatically appeared: yellow, yellow, purple, purple. After the third purple Soul Ring emitted a dazzling purple glow, it dimmed. Once the light vanished, the purple glow of his third Soul Ring was almost indistinguishable from that of his fourth.

Dai Mubai's body trembled as he unleashed his full aura, forcing back the Shrek members surrounding him. His strength leaped from level forty Soul Ancestor to level forty-three.

Headmaster Flender said with a smile, "Mubai, congratulations. Your Soul Power Level has risen again! In this Suotuo City Soul Fighting Battle, our Shrek team will definitely take first place and advance to Gold Soul Fighters."

Dai Mubai smiled. "Headmaster, Master, my third soul skill has become stronger. Its enhancement to defense, Soul Power, and attack power has increased from onefold to twofold."

Flender smiled. "Very good. As an Assault System Battle Soul Master, the stronger your soul skills are, the stronger you become. The more victories you will gain in the Soul Fighting Arena as well."

In the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Weisi saw Dai Mubai make the rankings and immediately gritted his teeth in hatred. In his eyes, if even his useless younger brother Dai Mubai could make the list, then someone with his talent should be able to make it too. Once he made the rankings, he would viciously humiliate Dai Mubai the next time they met.

When Emperor Dai Tianli of the Star Luo Empire saw his third son, Dai Mubai, make the rankings and saw that his strength had already reached level forty Soul Ancestor, he felt deeply gratified. He had never expected that after spending several years away from home, without enjoying Royal Family cultivation resources, his third son would still improve so rapidly. He truly was his son.

Upon seeing Third Prince Dai Mubai make the rankings, the Minister of Finance stepped forward and respectfully said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. At such a young age, the Third Prince has already ranked seventy-fifth on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking. Barring any surprises, he will certainly become a Title Douluo in the future and protect our Star Luo Empire!"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. It has not been easy for the Third Prince to cultivate outside. Now that he has made the rankings, we should bring him back and protect him until he becomes a Title Douluo."

Emperor Dai Tianli shook his head. "No. Our Royal Family members have always competed to select the crown prince. Let him continue gaining experience outside! I doubt he wishes to return right now anyway."

"Dai Mubai? Who's that?"

"No idea! I wonder which Major Clan or sect he comes from? But since he has become a Soul Ancestor and ranks seventy-fifth on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking, his strength must be extraordinary!"

"Sigh, why is it so unfair to us commoner Soul Masters? We're already at rank seventy-five, yet not a single famous commoner Soul Master has made the list!"

"Heh, you make it sound like you know every commoner Soul Master."
