"No... that's impossible!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly roared, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"I've never even heard of the Dou Qi System. It's nothing but a heretical side path—how could it produce geniuses one after another?

And they even obtained the qualifications for divine inheritances? The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking's assessment must be wrong!"

He strode to the center of the training ground, his finger trembling as he pointed at the Sky Screen and shouted with bloodshot eyes:

"What kind of joke is this?! The Soul Power System is the orthodox path of the Douluo Continent!

It's the strongest! The Dou Qi System is just an attention-seeking offshoot. It doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the Soul Power System!"

Standing nearby, Flender saw Yu Xiaogang losing control and hurried forward to hold him back. "Xiaogang, calm down. The Dou Qi System does have its strengths, but that doesn't negate the Soul Power System's foundations..."

"Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down?"

Yu Xiaogang flung Flender's hand away. His face was flushed red, the color spreading from his cheeks down to his neck, his eyes filled with stubborn fury.

"I spent my entire life researching these theories! The Soul Power System's rank divisions and Martial Soul combinations have all been proven countless times—they are truth!

Why should the Dou Qi System surpass the Soul Power System? This has to be an isolated case!

Soul Power System prodigies will definitely make the list later, like our Little San and Mubai!

They will prove that the Soul Power System is the true ruler!"

His voice was hysterical, as though he regarded Tang San and Dai Mubai as his final lifeline.

His lifelong theoretical research had long become an obsession. He would never allow any system to overturn it.

The disciples on the training ground were once again frightened by Yu Xiaogang's furious outburst. They fell silent, and no one dared provoke him.

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang's obsessive expression with a trace of helplessness in his eyes, but he also understood just how deep his teacher's fixation on the Soul Power System ran.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was burning with rage, Dai Mubai suddenly stepped forward.

The phantom of the White Tiger Martial Soul around him exploded outward. Every strand of its silver-white fur stood on end, radiating wild arrogance.

He held his head high and shouted at Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher, rest assured! I, Dai Mubai, will never disappoint you!

Once I make the list, I'll definitely break into the top five, leave these Dou Qi System people far behind, and prove the strength of the Soul Power System!"

His voice rang with strength, carrying the dominance and confidence of a Star Luo prince.

It was as though he could already see himself crushing Ye Ling Ling and Meng Yi Ran on the Gold Ranking List.

He was confident again! Ever since Qin Ming had made the list last time, his confidence had soared, and now he patted his chest as he made his promise!

In his eyes, the Dou Qi System disciples were merely lucky. Their true strength was far inferior to his own.

As long as he made the list, he would surely restore the Soul Power System's reputation.

Seeing Dai Mubai's resolute expression, Yu Xiaogang's fury eased slightly, replaced by a trace of anticipation.

"Good! Mubai, I believe in you! Your Evil Eye White Tiger Spirit is a top-tier Beast Martial Soul. You'll definitely crush these Dou Qi System prodigies!"

Immediately afterward, Tang San slowly stepped forward. Blue Silver Grass swayed gently around him, and his eyes shone with confidence.

He bowed to Yu Xiaogang. "Teacher, rest assured. Leave everything to me. I will definitely achieve a sufficiently high ranking on the Gold Ranking List.

I'll let everyone know that the Soul Power System's prodigies are by no means comparable to those of the Dou Qi System."

Though his words were calm, they carried unquestionable certainty.

His experiences across two lifetimes had given him a mind far more mature than those of his peers.

Although the Dou Qi System's strength had surprised him.

He was full of confidence in his Twin Martial Souls and the Tang Sect's supreme arts.

He firmly believed he could claim a place on the Gold Ranking List.

Looking at Tang San, the obsession in Yu Xiaogang's eyes gradually gave way to gratification. He patted Tang San on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:

"Little San, you are my proudest disciple. Your Twin Martial Souls are a miracle of the Soul Power System.

You will definitely show those from the Dou Qi System what a true genius is!"

Just as Dai Mubai and Tang San made their vows and Yu Xiaogang regained his confidence, Oscar slowly stepped forward, concern written across his face.

He looked at everyone and cautiously said, "Teacher, Mubai, Third Brother, I don't think we should be so stubborn.

For the Dou Qi System to possess such strength, it must have something unique.

We should learn to draw from all sources and understand their cultivation methods.

Rather than blindly dismissing them. If we cling to old ways, I'm afraid we'll be left behind by the times."

His words were fair, but they were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly provoking everyone's dissatisfaction.

Dai Mubai froze for a moment, then sneered. His eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Oscar.

"Oscar, what nonsense are you talking about? The Soul Power System has such deep foundations—why would we need to learn from those heretical side paths?

You're just too timid. Those Dou Qi System people have scared you out of your wits!"

Ma Hongjun also came over, crossing his arms and laughing loudly, his tone full of mockery.

"That's right, Little Ao. You're boosting others' morale and undermining our own!

Those Dou Qi System people are just clowns. Once the Shrek Seven Devils step in.

They'll have to step aside! That way of thinking won't do. Be careful, or the Dean might punish you by making you clean the toilets!"

Standing nearby, Ning Rongrong fiddled with her pendant. A trace of contempt appeared on her pretty face as she chimed in:

"Little Ao, you really lack confidence.

The Shrek Seven Devils are the continent's greatest geniuses. Are we supposed to fear these Dou Qi System disciples?

Learn from all sources? I think their rankings just scared you."

Oscar looked at everyone's mocking gazes, a trace of grievance appearing on his face. He wanted to explain, yet did not know how to begin.

He simply felt that the Dou Qi System had already demonstrated overwhelming superiority.

Blindly denying it would be no good for the Shrek Seven Devils' future, but everyone's stubbornness left him unable to argue back.

Flender Smooths Things Over, Oscar's Deep Worry

Seeing Oscar being targeted by everyone, Flender wore a helpless smile and quickly stepped forward. With a broad wave of his hand, he cut off their mockery. "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Oscar means well. But the Shrek Seven Devils' strength is indeed beyond doubt. Have you forgotten? Qin Ming has already made the list. As Shrek Academy's first graduating student, he took fourteenth place. We, the academy's most talented students, will definitely make the list too—and our rankings will only be higher!"

His words deftly shifted the topic, giving Oscar a way out while reigniting everyone's confidence. The disciples on the training ground also echoed him, shouting, "The Shrek Seven Devils are the strongest!" The atmosphere gradually eased.

Yu Xiaogang nodded as well. "Flender is right. Qin Ming is already a Soul Emperor, and our disciples will only be more outstanding. Little San and Mubai will definitely achieve excellent results on the Gold Ranking List and prove the strength of the Soul Power System."
