Shrek Only Accepts Monsters! The Golden Ranking List Was Tailor-Made for Us! Huo Wu Makes the List!

Outside Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.

Flender stood on a high platform, hands on his hips, chest heaving, his face full of smiles. His voice boomed like a bell, spreading across the entire training ground:

"The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking? Perfect! Let those so-called top-tier forces see what a true gathering place for geniuses looks like!

We Shrek never accept the mediocre, only monsters! This Heavenly Ranking is tailor-made for our Shrek Academy!"

Behind him, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back. The usually stern expression on his face now showed a hint of a pleased smile, his eyes full of confidence in his disciples.

As the continent's foremost theoretical master, he knew the talent of each disciple like the back of his hand.

At this moment, he added with certainty, "Flender is right, our disciples are all monsters chosen from a million."

Yu Xiaogang's gaze first fell on Tang San, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "Xiao San, with Innate Full Soul Power and a Twin Martial Soul rarely seen in a century, you are unparalleled on the continent. It's not impossible for you to take the top spot on this Heavenly Pride Ranking!"

"And Xiao Wu and Oscar," Yu Xiaogang's gaze shifted to Xiao Wu and Oscar, his tone full of affirmation.

"Innate Full Soul Power! This level of talent is extremely rare on the entire continent. Even the Upper Three Sects and Martial Soul Hall can hardly find a few. It's no problem for both of you to rank in the top five!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu shook her rabbit ears, her smile sweet yet with a hint of slyness. "Master, don't worry, I'll definitely make the list!"

In her heart, she muttered, she was a Spirit Beast who had shapeshifted, not a human. Would she really be counted?

But she couldn't say it out loud at this moment.

Oscar grinned cheekily, "I promise not to bring shame to Shrek and will strive for a good ranking!"

Yu Xiaogang finally looked at Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others, his tone still confident:

"As for the four of you, you are by no means ordinary. Each of you possesses a top-tier Martial Soul on the continent! Your talents are all exceptionally outstanding! With your aptitude, you will naturally make the list and occupy a place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking!"

Dai Mubai and the others were also very excited, responding in unison, "We will definitely live up to the expectations of Master and Dean!"

Flender looked at the spirited appearance of the disciples and exchanged a glance with Yu Xiaogang. Their eyes both gleamed with burning light.

Flender spoke again, his voice filled with longing for the future:

"For so many years, we Shrek have been hidden outside Suotuo City, silently cultivating these monsters.

Now that the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking has arrived, it is time for us to show our edge!"

"It's time to let the entire continent know that Shrek Academy is destined to have a brilliant future!"

Yu Xiaogang picked up the conversation, his tone resolute, "Let them know that Martial Soul Hall and the Upper Three Sects are not the only places for geniuses.

Our Shrek Academy is the true cradle of monsters, the place where top-tier heavenly prides gather!"

"Shrek! Shrek!" The disciples shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, their eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

The continent was in an uproar, and all forces turned their attention to the golden榜 manifested by the Heavenly Dao!

To see which prodigy would reach the top twenty, or even the first place!

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the golden light on the Sky Screen suddenly condensed, and a line of dazzling characters slowly appeared, like the voice of the Heavenly Dao, resounding throughout the Douluo Continent:

[Heavenly Pride Ranking, 20th Place: Huo Wu]

[Martial Soul: Fire Shadow]

[Level: Level 43 Battle Soul Ancestor]

[Affiliated Power: Five Elements Academy · Blazing Fire Academy]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Exceptional talent in Flame Control, the Fire Shadow Martial Soul possesses both Assault and Control abilities, with astonishing Explosive Power and profound Potential!]

[Heavenly Dao Blessing: Flame Affinity permanently +10%, the power of all currently possessed and future Spirit Skills increased by 5%! All Soul Ring Ages increased by one hundred years, and a perfectly compatible Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring obtained.]

"Huo Wu?!"

"Five Elements Academy? Blazing Fire Academy?"

"A Level 43 Battle Soul Ancestor actually made the list? This Five Elements Academy is truly a place where dragons and tigers hide!"

The moment the golden榜's information was released, an earth-shattering uproar erupted across the continent.

Before this, the Five Elements Academy, though somewhat renowned in the Soul Master world, had always been overshadowed by top powers like the Upper Three Sects and the Martial Soul Hall. No one had expected that within this seemingly ordinary academy, a prodigy could rank among the top twenty on the continent!

Inside the Blazing Fire Academy, there was widespread jubilation.

Huo Wu was training with the academy disciples in the Training Ground. Her Fire Shadow Martial Soul blazed with intense flames, scorching the trial wooden stakes before her.

When the words on the Sky Screen met her eyes, her body trembled, and the flames surged several feet higher. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise, which quickly turned into deep pride and an unwillingness to yield.

"I'm on the list! 20th place!"

Huo Wu clenched her fists, her Fire Shadow Martial Soul unfurling behind her. The crimson flames leaped joyfully as if they had a life of their own.

She was tall and slender, with a delicate face that held a hint of rebelliousness. The stray hairs on her forehead were tinged red by the flames, and her eyes sparkled with a burning light.

"Huo Wu! You're amazing!" The Blazing Fire Academy disciples beside her surrounded her, their faces full of admiration and joy. "A Level 43 Battle Soul Ancestor on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, this is the glory of the top twenty on the continent!"

Huo Wu took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart. A confident smile curved her lips. "20th place?"

She looked up at the Sky Screen and said confidently, "This is just the beginning! My goal, Huo Wu's goal, is far beyond this! Once I break through to Soul King, I will definitely aim for a higher rank and let the entire continent know how powerful the Blazing Fire Academy is!"

Her Martial Soul, Fire Shadow, was a top-tier flame martial soul rarely seen in a hundred years at the Blazing Fire Academy. Not only did its flames possess extremely high temperatures, but it could also manipulate flames to form illusions and barriers, possessing both Assault and Control capabilities.

At level 43, she could already skillfully use her second spirit skill, "Fire Shadow Clone," and her third spirit skill, "Resisting Fire Ring." Challenging ordinary Soul Kings beyond her level was not an issue.

Now, having received the Heavenly Dao Blessing, the increase in her Flame Affinity and Spirit Skill Power further elevated her strength.

The Deans and disciples from the other four academies of the Five Elements Academy—Thunder, Skywater, Divine Wind, and Plant Academy—were all astonished.

The Dean of Thunder Academy stroked his beard, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "I didn't expect Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy to have such talent!"

Shui Bing'er of Skywater Academy, dressed in a blue dress, looked at Huo Wu on the Sky Screen, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes, "Huo Wu, though your Fire Shadow is strong, my Ice Phoenix is not weak. We'll compete again in the next academy exchange match!"

Meanwhile, various forces across the continent reacted differently to Huo Wu's appearance on the rankings.

Inside the Papal Palace in Martial Soul City, Bibi Dong's lips curled into a sneer, "A level 43 Battle Soul Ancestor, her talent is passable, but that's all."

In her eyes, such strength was not enough to pose a threat to Martial Soul Hall; she was merely a drop in the ocean among the continent's prodigies.
