Tang San Makes the List

"Fifty-ninth place, Shui Bing'er, forty-first-level Soul Ancestor. Reward: ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by five thousand years."

"Shui Bing'er? With Shui as her surname, isn't she a student from Skywater Academy?"

"Looks like students from the third elemental academy have made the list too. I wonder whether students from the other two elemental academies will make it onto the list!"

"Congratulations, Sister. You made the list and beat those two from Blazing Fire Academy," Shui Yue'er said happily.

After Shui Bing'er absorbed the benefits she had received, her Soul Power Level soared to forty-sixth-level Soul Ancestor. Her fourth Soul Ring leaped directly from four thousand years to nine thousand years, merely one thousand years short of becoming a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

"Fifty-eighth place, Ma Hongjun, fortieth-level Soul Ancestor. Reward: ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by five thousand years."

"Fifty-fifth place, Ning Rongrong, thirty-seventh-level Soul Elder. Reward: ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by five thousand five hundred years."

Xiao Wu skipped over to Ning Rongrong, linked arms with her, and said, "Rongrong, congratulations! You made the list too."

Ning Rongrong said happily, "Sister Xiao Wu, with this five-thousand-five-hundred-year Soul Ring enhancement, I'll definitely break through to forty-second-level Soul Ancestor. Then I'll be able to provide everyone with even greater support."

Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile, "Sister Xiao Wu, now only you and Third Brother haven't made the list. I wonder what places you two will rank."

Dai Mubai flicked his golden hair and said with a grin, "Little San and Xiao Wu are both incredibly talented, and their combat strength is extraordinary. Their rankings will naturally be high. I'd say they'll at least rank somewhere around thirtieth or fortieth."

Flender said with a smile, "Fatty, Rongrong, hurry up and improve yourselves. The Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is only a few months away. You need to raise your Soul Power Levels as quickly as possible and learn to coordinate with one another. We must make Shrek Academy famous across the continent."

Yu Xiaogang said, "Don't improve your strength here. Return to the academy. There are too many people here, and no one knows whether spies from other factions are hidden among the crowds passing by. The children's talents cannot all be exposed here."

Tang San nodded. "Teacher is right. Let's return to the academy first. That is our territory, so we can improve our strength there without worry."

"Fiftieth place, Yan, fiftieth-level Soul King. Reward: ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by six thousand years."

"Forty-fifth place, Xie Yue, fiftieth-level Soul King. Reward: ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by six thousand five hundred years."

"Fortieth place, Hu Liena, fiftieth-level Soul King. Reward: ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by seven thousand years."

"Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena—aren't they Spirit Hall's Golden Generation? Their talent really is terrifying. In my opinion, they'll still defend their championship in the next Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"Exactly! What kind of place is Spirit Hall? Those three students who obtained Purple Record Battle Spirit will definitely lead Spirit Academy to win the Elite Tournament championship."

Outside the Pontiff's Palace in Spirit City, Bibi Dong stood on the viewing platform. Her brilliant golden ceremonial gown fit her perfectly from head to toe, its dazzling surface glittering with precious light and set with more than a hundred red, blue, and gold gemstones. The Nine-Curved Purple-Gold Crown atop her head shone with boundless radiance. She held a nearly two-meter-long scepter embedded with countless jewels. Her fair skin and almost flawless features made her seem utterly extraordinary. In particular, the invisible nobility and holiness she exuded made people unable to resist the urge to bow in worship.

Bibi Dong was stunningly beautiful—noble, elegant, serene. It seemed every beautiful word could be used to describe this woman. Though she was no longer young, time appeared to have left no trace upon her.

She said calmly, "Not bad. All three members of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation have made the list. Liena in particular ranked fortieth. I doubt anyone higher up will have a lower Soul Power Level than hers. Above this should be the renowned Title Douluo from across the continent!"

Ghost Douluo said respectfully, "Your Holiness the Pontiff, since all three have received rewards, how should you instruct them in enhancing their Soul Ring ages?"

Bibi Dong gazed at the ranking list in the sky. "I will not interfere with their choices. Let them decide for themselves. No one understands better than oneself what one needs."

Hu Liena had an almost perfect figure, and her features somewhat resembled Xie Yue's. She gave off the impression of a wolf poised to strike.

She stood respectfully beneath the platform, listening to the conversation between her teacher and Elder Gui. Not long ago, she, her brother Xie Yue, and Yan had each advanced to fiftieth-level Soul King. Their teacher had ordered Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan to take them hunting for Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to obtain their Soul Rings. Among Spirit Hall's younger generation, only the three of them were truly heaven's favored children. Now that they had made the list, their reputation was fully deserved.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Hu Liena said respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pontiff!"

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pontiff!"

Xie Yue and Yan dropped to one knee and saluted respectfully.

All three used their Soul Ring age enhancement rewards on their fifth Soul Rings. As their Soul Power surged, they each rose from fiftieth-level Soul King to fifty-third-level Soul King.

The ranking list continued to unfold.

"Thirty-fifth place, Tang San, thirty-fourth-level Soul Elder. Reward: ignore the theoretical absorption limit for Soul Rings and increase the age of any Soul Ring by seven thousand five hundred years."

"Tang San? Who is that? There are quite a few Soul Kings and Soul Emperors behind him, yet a mere Soul Elder like him ranks so highly!"

"His surname is Tang? Could he be a young disciple of the Clear Sky Sect? But I've never heard that name before!"

"The Clear Sky Sect has been living in seclusion for more than a decade. Isn't it normal that you haven't heard of him?"

On the platform outside the Pontiff's Palace in Spirit City, Bibi Dong's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She had just declared that no prodigy with a lower Soul Power Level than her disciple would appear, yet Tang San's appearance on the list instantly slapped her in the face. Fortunately, this was Spirit City, and everyone present belonged to Spirit Hall. Even if they heard it, it was no great matter. No one would dare spread this matter, or they would face pursuit from Spirit Hall.

Inside Shrek Academy, Balak Kingdom.

Everyone had already returned. There were too many people at the Soto Great Spirit Arena, so they could not remain there any longer.

Dai Mubai said with a smile, "Little San, congratulations on making the list! And you're thirty-fifth, no less. You surpassed countless Soul Kings and Soul Emperor-level Spirit Masters."

Ma Hongjun patted his round belly and laughed. "Boss Dai, your prediction was spot on! You said around thirtieth or fortieth, and he landed directly at thirty-fifth. You're amazing!"

Dai Mubai said with a smile, "Among everyone here, aside from Grandmaster and Xiao Wu, I've known Little San the longest. I know his strength. Now that he's made the list, it's only right!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong spoke in unison, "Third Brother, congratulations on making the list!"

Tang San felt embarrassed by everyone's praise. He scratched the back of his head and said, "I never expected to rank thirty-fifth either. Thank you all for your blessings."

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back and smiled. "All right. The three of you who have yet to use your Soul Ring enhancement rewards should do so now. Then begin team training and familiarize yourselves with your current strength."

"Yes, Teacher."
