Shui Bing'er Makes the Ranking; Are There More Experts in the Five Elements Academy?! The Dou Qi System Appears!

Before the crowd could finish discussing it, golden words appeared on the Sky Screen, pushing yet another genius from the Five Elements Academy into the spotlight:

[Heavenly Pride Ranking, Eleventh Place: Shui Bing'er]

[Martial Soul: Ice Phoenix]

[Level: Level 35 Battle Soul Elder]

[Affiliated power: Five Elements Academy · Skywater Academy]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Skywater Academy's core heavenly pride. Her Ice Phoenix martial soul is a mutated form of ultimate ice. Her control over ice-element spirit skills has reached the pinnacle, and her group battlefield control far surpasses those at the same level. Potential Rating: S!]

[Heavenly Dao Blessing: The Ice Phoenix martial soul awakens the "Extreme Cold Domain." Ice-element spirit skill power increased by 50%, Soul Power Level increased by 3 levels, breaking through to Level 45 Battle Soul Ancestor! Specially granted eligibility for the Water God inheritance!]

"Shui Bing'er," "Ice Phoenix," and "Five Elements Academy"—these keywords instantly sent the Five Elements Academy into a frenzy of celebration.

They also forced the various powers across Douluo Continent to reassess this long-established academy.

Following Huo Wu and Yu Tianxin, another genius had entered the top eleven. The Five Elements Academy's foundations ran far deeper than anyone had imagined.

On the Training Ground of Skywater Academy, Shui Bing'er stood atop the ice in a blue dress.

As she looked at the information on the Sky Screen, a trace of delight flashed through her usually cold eyes.

She raised a hand and gently brushed her hair by her temple as the phantom of her Ice Phoenix martial soul unfurled around her.

The biting cold condensed the moisture in the air into frost. "Eleventh place? It seems my Ice Phoenix has finally earned the Heavenly Dao's recognition."

The disciples of Skywater Academy erupted into cheers, while the dean was so excited that his beard trembled.

"Bing'er! You've brought glory to Skywater Academy! Glory to the Five Elements Academy!"

Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy looked at the ranking, a fighting spirit curling her lips. "Shui Bing'er, you truly are impressive. But at the next academy tournament, I'll definitely defeat you."

Yu Tianxin of Thunder Academy merely snorted, filled with indignation. Both of them belonged to the Five Elements Academy, yet Shui Bing'er ranked eight places above him.

On Shrek Academy's field, Flender smacked his lips as he looked at the ranking.

"The Five Elements Academy was hiding an Ice Phoenix genius like this. An ultimate ice martial soul—she'll be a troublesome opponent."

Inside the council hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianheng looked at the ranking and gave a bitter smile.

"Even a disciple of the Five Elements Academy has reached eleventh place. As the young master ranked eighteenth, I'm becoming more and more of a joke."

Yu Yuanzhen remained silent as well, his heart filled with emotion at the sheer number of talented individuals produced by these old-established powers.

Inside the Papal Palace of Spirit City.

As Bibi Dong listened to her subordinate's report on the continent's public opinion, a cold sneer curved her lips.

"The Five Elements Academy? They're only putting on a show with a few disciples of passable talent.

Huo Wu, Yu Tianxin, and Shui Bing'er are already all the trump cards they can produce. What other experts could they possibly have?"

In her eyes, the Five Elements Academy's foundations were far inferior to those of Spirit Hall. Producing three heavenly prides in succession was already a matter of luck; there was no chance they had any more top-tier talent hidden away.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan hurriedly bowed in agreement. "Your Eminence the Pope is absolutely right! The Five Elements Academy consists of five small academies, with their resources scattered.

They simply cannot cultivate any more top-tier heavenly prides. Shui Bing'er is already their peak."

Inside the imperial garden of the Heaven Dou Empire's palace.

Greed flashed in Prince Xue Xing's eyes as he grabbed Xue Beng's wrist and said urgently:

"The Five Elements Academy has so many geniuses. They must have other hidden experts!

Immediately send people to thoroughly investigate the Divine Wind and Plant branches of the Five Elements Academy.

Make sure to uncover the information on every genius. Recruit every one we can under Heaven Dou!"

Xue Beng put away his foppish smile, a shrewd glint flashing through his eyes. "Royal Uncle, don't be hasty. The Five Elements Academy is currently in the limelight.

We might as well approach them in the name of cooperation first. That way, we won't alert them, and we can slowly uncover their trump cards. The best of both worlds."

Not long after the rankings were announced, the Deans of the Five Elements Academy's five academies gathered together. As they looked at the ranking on the Sky Screen, their eyes brimmed with confidence.

The dean of Godwind Academy, dressed in green robes and lightly waving a folding fan, smiled.

"That girl Shui Bing'er has brought honor to the Five Elements Academy, but my Godwind Academy's Feng Xiaotian is no less talented than her. When the rankings update next time, he'll definitely make the list!"

The several Deans exchanged smiles.

After centuries of inheritance, the Five Elements Academy could not possibly have only these three noteworthy heavenly prides.

Just as they were happily deep in discussion, the golden light on the Sky Screen suddenly erupted into dazzling violet flames.

It was completely different from the previous golden glow, as though the Heavenly Dao were announcing the arrival of an entirely new system.

As soon as Shui Bing'er's eleventh-place information vanished, a new ranking solidified with an eerie aura.

In an instant, it plunged the entirety of Douluo Continent into unprecedented confusion and shock:

[Heavenly Pride Ranking, Tenth Place: Meng Yi Ran]

[Martial Soul: Serpent Cane (fused with Three Thousand Burning Flame)]

[Level: Three-Star Dou Ling (Dou Qi System)]

[Affiliated power: Dou Po Academy]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: A core disciple of Dou Po Academy who cultivates the Dou Qi System.

She has fused with Three Thousand Burning Flame, ranked ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Her combat style, combining poison arts and flames, is unparalleled across the continent. She crushes Soul Power System heavenly prides of the same level across systems. Potential Rating: SS!]

[Heavenly Dao Blessing: The origin of Three Thousand Burning Flame has been strengthened. Her Dou Qi cultivation directly breaks through to Five-Star Dou King, and she obtains the Heavenly Flame control secret art Incinerating Poison Scripture!]

Terms such as Dou Qi and Dou Ling, which had never existed in Douluo Continent's understanding, were like thunderbolts appearing from nowhere, blasting the minds of countless living beings blank.

Everyone stared at the two keywords, "Three-Star Dou Ling" and "Dou Po Academy."

There was only one thought in their hearts: What the hell was Dou Po Academy? And what kind of realm was a Three-Star Dou Ling?

Spirit City · Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong abruptly rose from her throne, her violet eyes filled with fury and confusion.

She clenched her fist, and Rakshasa Soul Power cracked the stone pillars in the hall.

"Three-Star Dou Ling? Dou Po Academy? What is this? The Five Elements Academy at least has some reputation in Heaven Dou, but does Dou Po Academy even fit this world's style?

The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking actually placed a disciple from some unknown academy in tenth place, even above my Golden Generation?"

She had never heard the name "Dou Po Academy," nor did she understand what realms the "Dou Qi System" and "Dou Ling" were.

In her understanding, Douluo Continent had only the Soul Power System, with soul masters advancing from Soul Scholars to Titled Douluo.

Yet this unfamiliar rank of "Three-Star Dou Ling" had actually reached tenth place.

It surpassed Hu Liena and Xie Yue, making her feel as though the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking were mocking her.

"Your Eminence the Pope, we have never had any records of this Meng Yi Ran... or this Dou Po Academy."

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's face turned pale as he hurriedly bowed. "Furthermore, this Dou Qi System and the Dou Ling realm are completely outside Douluo Continent's cultivation system. Could this be some special inheritance from a hidden sect?"

"No matter what background this Dou Po Academy has, Meng Yi Ran's tenth-place ranking proves that her strength cannot be underestimated.

We must immediately discover Dou Po Academy's location and uncover the details of this Dou Qi System. We absolutely cannot allow this unknown power to threaten Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong drew a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her rage, a ruthless glint flashing through her eyes. "Deliver my order. Send all of Spirit Hall's covert forces into action.

Find Dou Po Academy's location at any cost, and uncover the secrets of Meng Yi Ran and the Dou Qi System.

If that power refuses to submit, erase it directly!"
