Ninth Place: Ye Ling Ling, Five-Star Dou Ling—Are There More Experts?

Above the Sky Screen, new golden words condensed in an even more domineering manner.

It was as though another massive boulder had been dropped onto the hearts of every living being on Douluo Continent, pushing the intimidation of the "Dou Qi System" to a new peak:

[Heavenly Pride Ranking, Ninth Place: Ye Ling Ling]

[Martial Soul: Nine Heart Begonia (fused with Flame of Life)]

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

[Affiliated Power: Dou Po Academy]

[Overall Evaluation: A Core Disciple of Dou Po Academy who cultivated the Dou Qi System and fused with Flame of Life, one of the top five on the Exotic Flame Ranking.

Her healing ability and control over Life Energy had reached the pinnacle. She could revive dying Soul Masters across systems. Potential Rating: SS+!]

[Heavenly Dao Blessing: Flame of Life origin enhancement. Dou Qi realm directly advanced to Seven-Star Dou King. Obtained Life Spring Art and unlocked eligibility for the Life Goddess's inheritance trial!]

Like a series of thunderclaps, it sent Douluo Continent, already stunned by Meng Yi Ran, into a complete uproar once again.

If Meng Yi Ran's appearance had merely made the continent aware of the Dou Qi System's existence,

then Ye Ling Ling's entry onto the ranking allowed everyone to truly experience the terror of this system.

After the Three-Star Dou Ling Meng Yi Ran, the Five-Star Dou Ling Ye Ling Ling had charged straight into ninth place.

She even possessed eligibility for the Life Goddess's inheritance. Dou Po Academy actually had such an expert as well?!

"The Dou Qi System... it's terrifying!"

"Just how many geniuses is Dou Po Academy hiding? Meng Yi Ran is tenth, Ye Ling Ling is ninth, and they're only Core Disciples?!"

"Eligibility for the Life Goddess's inheritance trial! That's a divine inheritance!

The heavenly prides of the Soul Power System can't even touch the edge of a divine trial, yet the Dou Qi System has directly obtained eligibility for the inheritance of a top-tier god?!"

Voices filled with awe and fear spread to every corner of the continent.

As the various powers looked at the information on the Sky Screen, their wariness toward the Dou Qi System deepened further.

Spirit City, Papal Palace.

The purple-black mist within the Papal Palace had already condensed into a ferocious Rakshasa Phantom.

Looking at Ye Ling Ling's ranking on the Sky Screen, Bibi Dong could no longer maintain her outward composure.

She crushed the armrest into powder, her purple eyes filled with hysterical fury.

"Dou Po Academy again! The Dou Qi System again! One is ninth, the other is tenth.

And they even obtained eligibility for the Life Goddess's inheritance?! Has the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking gone mad?!"

She had pursued divine inheritances her entire life. Even Qian Renxue's Angel God inheritance had only been activated after Spirit Hall spent countless resources.

Yet two disciples of the Dou Qi System had so easily obtained eligibility for the Life Goddess's inheritance trial. How could she possibly tolerate this?

"Your Eminence the Pope, Ye Ling Ling's healing ability can revive dying Soul Masters across systems. This is extremely detrimental to Spirit Hall's war plans!"

A Platinum Consecrate who had been standing silently nearby finally spoke, his voice carrying unprecedented anxiety.

"If Dou Po Academy uses this healing ability to win over other powers, our plan to unify the continent may be completely obstructed!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's face was pale as well. Bowing, he said, "Your Eminence the Pope, Dou Po Academy's strength far exceeds our imagination.

Perhaps we should temporarily halt our suppression of the other powers and focus our forces on eliminating this unknown threat first!"

"Eliminate them?" Bibi Dong sneered. Rakshasa Divine Power erupted around her, cracking several of the hall's stone pillars.

"Pass down my order. Mobilize every elder from the Elder Hall. Even if we have to level the entire continent,

we must find Dou Po Academy's location!

If they refuse to hand over the cultivation method of the Dou Qi System, then slaughter everyone in the academy!"

For now, only heavenly prides had been mentioned. Before geniuses grew up, they were merely geniuses.

An academy possessing so many geniuses without matching strength was simply a case of a common man being punished for possessing a treasure.

What they did not know was that a Dou Ling was already capable of taking their lives.

The atmosphere within the Papal Palace was as frozen as ice. Spirit Hall's pride was already on the verge of collapse beneath the successive blows dealt by the Dou Qi System.

Spirit City, Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu looked at the words "eligibility for the Life Goddess's inheritance trial" on the Sky Screen.

His hand trembled slightly, and his golden eyes were filled with gravity.

"The Dou Qi System can actually trigger divine inheritances. It seems this is no simple cultivation system, but something intricately connected to the God Realm.

Xue'er's Angel God inheritance may be powerful, but against opponents who can directly obtain eligibility for divine trials, I fear even she will find it difficult to cope."

He turned to look in the direction of the Angel God Temple, concern flashing through his eyes.

His tranquil state of mind, maintained for decades, had been completely shattered by the appearance of the Dou Qi System.

Before the Sea God Pillar on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi looked at the information on the Sky Screen, her ocean-blue eyes full of despair.

She slowly fell to her knees before the Sea God Pillar, her voice trembling. "Sea God, the Dou Qi System has produced top-tier heavenly prides one after another.

They have even obtained eligibility for the Life Goddess's inheritance. Is the pride of the Soul Master System truly about to be destroyed?"

She had still placed her hopes on the future Sea God Successor to preserve the dignity of the Soul Master System.

But Ye Ling Ling's appearance had made even the last shred of hope in her heart seem distant.

The Sea God Power around her seemed to have lost its direction, scattering freely in the sea breeze.

Within the Imperial Study of the Heaven Dou Empire Imperial Palace, Xue Ye looked at the information on the Sky Screen as the shock in his eyes was replaced by greed.

He clenched his fists tightly and said to Marshal Gelong, "Gelong! Ye Ling Ling can revive dying Soul Masters across systems, and she even possesses eligibility for the Life Goddess's inheritance!

We must win over such talent for Heaven Dou, no matter what! Even at any cost, we must make her serve Heaven Dou!"

Marshal Gelong nodded gravely. "Your Majesty, I will immediately dispatch people to investigate. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find Dou Po Academy's location!

However, Dou Po Academy's strength is mysterious. Our people may find it difficult to approach."

Xue Qinghe, disguised by Qian Renxue, stood nearby, a cold gleam flashing through her eyes.

She was already calculating how to send this information back to Spirit Hall so they could prepare in advance.

Within the Palace Hall of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yutian looked at the information on the Sky Screen.

His expression was as gloomy as the sky before a storm as he said to Dai Weisi,

"The threat posed by the Dou Qi System has already surpassed all imagination. Ye Ling Ling's healing ability can give the enemy endless endurance.

If Dou Po Academy joins Heaven Dou, Star Luo will undoubtedly lose. You are to immediately lead elite Soul Masters there and uncover Dou Po Academy's true strength.

If they cannot be won over, then secretly assassinate Ye Ling Ling. We absolutely cannot allow her to grow any further!"

A vicious glint flashed through Dai Weisi's Evil Eye as he bowed and replied, "Your son obeys!"

On the Shrek Academy training ground outside Suotuo City, Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned deathly pale when Ye Ling Ling's ranking information appeared on the Sky Screen.

He stared fixedly at the words "Dou Qi System" and "eligibility for the Life Goddess's inheritance trial," his body trembling uncontrollably.

When Meng Yi Ran had entered the ranking earlier, he could still comfort himself by calling it "an accidental outburst from a new system."

But Ye Ling Ling's appearance directly shattered his self-consolation.

One was ninth, one was tenth. Disciples of the Dou Qi System had consecutively occupied positions in the top ten.

They had even obtained eligibility for divine inheritances that even the top heavenly prides of the Soul Power System could only dream of.

How could he, a "Master of Theory" who had devoted his entire life to studying the Soul Power System, possibly accept that?
