Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing Make the Ranking

"Sixty-ninth place: Oscar, a level 40 Soul Ancestor. Reward: Ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by 4,000 years."

"Sixtieth place: Zhu Zhuqing, a level 40 Soul Ancestor. Reward: Ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by 4,500 years."

Oscar said playfully, "Wow, Zhuqing, you ranked even higher than me! Amazing! I've decided to add the increased age to my third Soul Ring and extend everyone's high-speed flight time."

Oscar applied the reward to his third Soul Ring. Four Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—emerged from his body. After the third Soul Ring erupted with a brilliant purple radiance, his Soul Power Level surged as well, directly advancing him to a level 43 Soul Ancestor.

Xiao Wu said enviously, "Zhuqing, I'm so jealous that you made the ranking. I wonder if I can make it too." Though she said that, she knew very well that she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, not truly human. This Peerless Prodigy Ranking had been created for humans.

Zhu Zhuqing comfortingly patted Xiao Wu's right wrist and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, don't lose heart. Your talent is so great that you should make the ranking too."

Yu Xiaogang calmly asked, "Zhu Zhuqing, which of your Soul Rings do you intend to enhance?"

Zhu Zhuqing secretly glanced at Dai Mubai and said, "Teacher, I've already decided. I'll enhance my third Soul Ring."

Ma Hongjun laughed. "Aha, you're enhancing your third Soul Ring too."

Zhu Zhuqing replied irritably, "Fatty, my third soul skill is powerful. Only by enhancing my third Soul Ring can I make it even more lethal."

Flender said impatiently, "Then hurry up and enhance your Soul Ring's age. An additional 4,500 years should allow you to break through level 44 as well."

"Yes, Dean!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded as she spoke. Four Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—emerged from her body at the same time. Her third Soul Ring burst with dazzling purple light, its age instantly rising to 5,500 years. Under the surge of Soul Power, her Soul Power Level also broke through to level 44.

Flender burst into laughter. "Excellent, another level 43 Soul Ancestor. You little ones who haven't yet reached the Soul Ancestor level must cultivate diligently after you return and strive to catch up soon."

"Yes, Dean," they all replied.

Yu Xiaogang nodded and asked, "Zhu Zhuqing, tell us about the changes to your soul skill."

Zhu Zhuqing reported, "Yes, Teacher. After my third Soul Ring advanced to 5,500 years, my third soul skill, Nether Slash, became twice as powerful. Defensive measures of the same level cannot block my slash; anyone struck will definitely be injured."

Tang San was deeply envious. Even Zhu Zhuqing had ranked sixtieth now. He had always considered himself a favored son of heaven, but what rank could he possibly attain? Fiftieth? Thirtieth? Or perhaps even within the top twenty?

When Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San's expression, he knew what he was thinking. He patted his shoulder and gave him a comforting look without saying anything. Even with his knowledge, he could not make a hasty judgment about where his disciple's strength would rank. Douluo Continent was a land of outstanding people and spiritual abundance, with peerless prodigies emerging without end. Even though Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls, he did not dare guarantee Tang San's ranking.

In a small courtyard east of Nuoding City, Huang Tian was eating grapes when a young married woman around thirty walked out of the house. She wore a simple green cloth dress, with a cloth scarf tying up a lock of her green hair. Her slightly pale face held delicate, captivating features, her brows and eyes picturesque. Her large black eyes were especially bright, while beneath her plain robe was a fiery, perfect figure beyond the reach of ordinary girls.

She was none other than the Corner of Slaughter from the former Golden Triangle—Liu Erlong.

The founder of Blue Tyrant Academy, she had once been an eight-ring level 83 Soul Douluo. In less than three years with Huang Tian, she had already become a nine-ring level 96 Title Douluo.

"Husband, do you know any of the prodigies on the ranking?"

Liu Erlong rested Huang Tian's head against her ample chest. With her right hand, she picked up a grape from the table and placed it into Huang Tian's mouth as she asked.

Huang Tian comfortably swallowed the grape and said, "According to my intelligence, the three people ranked seventy-fifth, sixty-ninth, and sixtieth—Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing—are students of your first love, Yu Xiaogang."

"Ah." The moment Liu Erlong heard Yu Xiaogang's name, her face changed drastically. "He... he's still alive?"

Huang Tian said indifferently, "Of course he's alive. He's currently teaching students at a school called Shrek Academy."

Liu Erlong nodded. "That makes sense. With his vast knowledge, becoming a teacher is the best choice for him. But he's only a level 29 Soul Grandmaster. Can he protect those gifted students?"

Huang Tian smiled. "Those Spirit Hall people are arrogant beyond measure. They move to eliminate every prodigy who refuses to pledge loyalty to them. Three years ago, one of Blue Tyrant Academy's prodigious students was killed, and you stormed Spirit City in anger. If I hadn't rescued you, you would have died long ago." Then his tone shifted as he asked, "What? Are you still thinking about your old lover? They've only just been exposed, so Spirit Hall won't be able to trace them for the time being."

Liu Erlong hurriedly said, "Husband, if I still liked him, how could I have given myself to you?"

Huang Tian smiled. "Then why do I still feel that you've been holding something in all this time? Over these three years, we've cultivated together day and night, and you've risen from a level 83 Soul Douluo to a level 96 Title Douluo. Yet you still haven't relaxed your cultivation. What, are you still thinking of teaching Bibi Dong a lesson? She's a level 99 Peak Douluo with Twin Martial Souls. If you cultivate for another two or three years, you might just catch up to her."

Liu Erlong snorted. "I just want to know what's so special about her. Yu Xiaogang and I are cousins. We loved each other once, yet we could not be together. But Bibi Dong was his first love, and he still carries her shadow in his heart."

Huang Tian laughed. "You women really are narrow-minded. You're already my woman and have had nothing to do with Yu Xiaogang for ages, so why do you still hate Bibi Dong to the bone? Just because she was once your boyfriend's first love, you're so hostile toward her? Besides, Bibi Dong is the strongest pope in Spirit Hall's history. Spirit City has dozens of Title Douluo and hundreds of Soul Douluo. You were merely a level 83 Soul Douluo, yet you dared to storm the place alone. Your courage was admirable!"

Liu Erlong said, "If I hadn't gone there, how would I have met you, Husband? And in the end, I even gave myself to you. You really got lucky."

"Hehe, I wonder who it was that got drunk, clung to me no matter what, and ultimately dragged me onto the bed," Huang Tian said without even raising his head, the smug expression on his face begging for a beating.

"What? Say that again! I, a pure maiden, gave myself to you, and you're still dissatisfied?" Liu Erlong's fiery temper flared as she snarled.

Huang Tian picked at his right ear with his right index finger and calmly said, "Alright, don't be angry. Let's keep watching the show. I wonder whether the appearance of this ranking will expose our plan ahead of time?"

Liu Erlong sighed. "Husband, nothing can remain hidden beneath the Heavenly Dao. We can't conceal ourselves forever, so we'll probably be exposed. But even if we are exposed, Spirit Hall will be exposed before us. Let's see what Bibi Dong does this time!"

Huang Tian shook his head. "What can she do? They'll still carry on with their plan to unify Douluo Continent. We'll just watch the show."
