Flender Was Overjoyed! Yu Xiaogang Was Proud, and Spirit Hall's Heavenly Prides Made the Ranking Again!

"Teacher... so you were the true genius!"

Yu Tianheng muttered to himself, the arrogance and unwillingness in his eyes completely gone, replaced by deep admiration and shame.

"I actually thought I was stronger than you before. How utterly ridiculous!"

At that moment, the pride in Yu Tianheng's heart was completely shattered.

He finally understood that Douluo Continent was vast and full of hidden talents. His little bit of talent was simply not worth mentioning before true geniuses.

Shrek Academy.

Flender had originally been consoling the stubbornly defiant Dai Mubai, but when Qin Ming's information appeared on the Sky Screen, his eyes suddenly widened.

Then he burst into thunderous laughter that spread across the entire training ground, even drowning out the Heavenly Dao's voice from the Gold Ranking List:

"Hahaha! Qin Ming! It's Qin Ming! My good disciple! Shrek Academy's first graduating class! The second-youngest Soul Emperor in history! Fourteenth place!"

Flender was so excited that he danced around. He grabbed Dai Mubai beside him and pointed at the information on the Sky Screen, the pride on his face nearly overflowing.

"Do you see that, Mubai? This is a graduate of our Shrek Academy! A level 60 Soul Emperor! The second-youngest in history!

Which academy on Douluo Continent could cultivate such a genius? None! Only our Shrek!"

Like a child showing off his most precious treasure, he turned and shouted at all the disciples on the training ground:

"Look carefully! Qin Ming! Shrek Academy's finest graduate in twenty years since its founding!

He has now reached fourteenth place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking and is also the second-youngest Soul Emperor in history!

This is Shrek's strength! Our Shrek has never been some shabby academy. We are a true gathering place for heavenly prides!"

Yu Xiaogang stood nearby, looking at the information on the Sky Screen with a pleased smile in his eyes.

Flender had founded Shrek Academy, and Qin Ming was the first disciple he had personally trained.

Now that Qin Ming had achieved so much, Yu Xiaogang sincerely felt proud for his friend.

"Qin Ming has always worked hard. His becoming the youngest Soul Emperor is well deserved. It seems Shrek's teaching philosophy was right.

The Seven Devils will surely achieve even more. After all, Shrek only accepts monsters!

Those so-called heavenly prides from major powers like Spirit Hall are no match for our Shrek!"

Dai Mubai was stunned as well. Looking at the words "level 60 Battle Soul Emperor" on the Sky Screen, he swallowed hard. Much of his previous jealousy and unease toward Dai Weisi instantly vanished.

Even Shrek's graduates were this strong. Wouldn't that make them, the Shrek Seven Devils, even stronger?

A wild, arrogant gleam reignited in his eyes as he said to Flender:

"Dean! Senior Qin Ming is already this incredible, so I definitely won't be lacking either! Once I make the ranking, I'll break into the top ten and bring glory to Shrek!"

Tang San looked at Qin Ming's information on the Sky Screen, a trace of admiration flashing through his eyes. "Senior Qin Ming's talent and hard work are worthy of our study. Shrek Academy truly holds quite a few surprises."

Xiao Wu linked her arm through Tang San's, wiggled her rabbit ears, and said with a sweet smile:

"Senior Qin Ming is amazing! It looks like Shrek really is a gathering place for geniuses! When we make the ranking, we have to be as amazing as Senior too!"

Inside the Palace Hall of the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Yutian, who had just been immersed in the joy of Dai Weisi making the ranking, saw Qin Ming's information on the Sky Screen and his expression instantly darkened.

He slowly sat back on the Dragon Throne, lightly tapping the table with his fingers and producing dull thuds.

"A level 60 Soul Emperor, the second-youngest in history... a graduate of Shrek Academy? It seems this Shrek Academy is far more troublesome than I imagined."

Zhu Hongye stood to one side, her brows tightly furrowed as well. Looking at the words "Shrek Academy," she said calmly:

"Shrek is clearly no ordinary academy. We need to reassess Shrek Academy's strength, especially its relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire."

Dai Weisi stood in the hall, and the domineering gleam in his Evil Eye had dimmed somewhat. Looking at the evaluation of "level 60 Battle Soul Emperor," a trace of apprehension rose in his heart.

Though he was now a level 50 Battle Soul King, there was still an insurmountable gulf between him and a Soul Emperor-level expert.

"Father, Qin Ming is only fourteenth. Though he is strong, he may not necessarily be my match. Once I break through to Soul Emperor, I'll definitely crush him!"

Dai Yutian waved his hand, the vigilance in his eyes not diminishing in the slightest. "Do not underestimate him. Anyone who can become the second-youngest Soul Emperor in history must possess extraordinary talent!"

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became grave. The Star Luo Empire's attitude toward Shrek Academy had completely shifted from initial disregard to apprehension and vigilance.

Heaven Dou Empire Imperial Palace.

Xue Ye looked at the information on the Sky Screen. He was first stunned, then a flash of wild joy crossed his eyes, and he slapped his thigh.

"Good! Excellent! Qin Ming is a teacher at Imperial Dou Academy. This is truly Heaven helping me!"

The Grand Tutor standing nearby shone with even greater excitement and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise! I suggest that Your Majesty issue an order to send people to Imperial Dou Academy in the name of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Bestow upon Qin Ming the title of Imperial Soul Emperor Advisor, grant him high office and generous rewards, and make sure to bring him under the Empire's banner!"

"Approved!"

Deep within the mist-shrouded Clear Sky Mountain Range.

Tang Xiao looked at the information on the Sky Screen, a trace of approval flashing through his eyes as he said in a deep voice:

"The second-youngest Soul Emperor in history. Qin Ming truly is a talent. He is only slightly inferior to A Hao back then. It is no easy feat for Shrek Academy to cultivate such a disciple."

Tang Long stood behind him, his face filled with admiration. "Sect Master, Qin Ming is a whole major realm above me, and he is also the youngest Soul Emperor in history. Compared with him, I am far too lacking."

Tang Xiao patted Tang Long's shoulder and said seriously, "It is good that you know the gap. Qin Ming's achievements today came not only from talent, but also from hard work.

If you want to surpass him, then focus on cultivation and make up for your shortcomings. Do not keep overestimating yourself."

The golden light above the Sky Screen surged in layer after layer like tides.

The new rankings solidified at an even faster pace, and two golden pillars of light lit up almost simultaneously.

They etched the names of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation into thirteenth and twelfth place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking:

[Heavenly Pride Ranking, Thirteenth Place: Hu Liena]

"Hu Liena," "Xie Yue," and "Spirit Hall's Golden Generation"—the appearance of these two names in succession.

It caused the reactions across Douluo Continent to split in a strange way.

Everyone had long expected Spirit Hall's Golden Generation to make the ranking.

But the fact that both of them ranked above Qin Ming, the second-youngest Soul Emperor in history, still shocked everyone beyond expectation.
