The third place appears, Gangzi vomits three liters of blood and falls into a coma! Unsealable! Dou Huang comparable to a Level One God?!

The golden light above the sky screen suddenly shifted to a strange glow interwoven with dark green and purple-gold, more domineering than Qian Renxue's Angelic Golden Flame when she appeared on the list, and deeper than Dugu Yan's purple flame.

A colossal phantom of a green snake coiled in the sky vault, three dark flowers slowly blooming in its snake pupils. The Dou Qi pressure emanating from it swept across the entire Douluo Continent like tangible giant waves.

As Qian Renxue's Angelic Divine Light, ranked fourth, had not yet completely dissipated, the third-ranked entry solidified with the might to scorch mountains and boil seas, pushing the terror of the Dou Qi system to a desperate peak:

[Heavenly Pride Ranking Third Place: Qing Lin]

[Martial Soul: Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils (Fusion of Purple Phosphorus Green Snake Emperor's Origin)]

[Level: Five-star Dou Emperor → Breakthrough to Dou Emperor Peak (Heavenly Ranking Reward Limit)]

[Affiliated Power: Dou Po Academy · Inner Court Core]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Holder of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, capable of controlling myriad snakes, fused with the Purple Phosphorus Green Snake Emperor's Origin.

Dou Qi system's close combat and crowd control are both peerless; at the Dou Emperor realm, she can crush Limit Douluo across ranks. Potential Rating SSS+ (Supreme Grade of the Dou Qi System)!]

[Heavenly Dao Blessing: Dou Qi realm breaks through to Dou Emperor Peak (Heavenly Ranking's highest reward threshold; higher realms are beyond the Heavenly Dao's blessing), Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils evolve into "Myriad Flower Green Snake Pupils," snake control ability increases by 100%, and gains the Dou Qi secret art Myriad Snakes Pilgrimage Art!]

"Qing Lin! Dou Emperor Peak! Heavenly Ranking Reward Limit!"

"Unparalleled rewards! A Heavenly Ranking that can casually bestow divine inheritance can only reward up to Dou Emperor Peak. Does this mean Dou Emperor Peak is stronger than gods?!"

"Another prodigy from the Dou Qi system! The third place is a five-star Dou Emperor breaking through to the peak. How many more hidden terrors does this system hold?!"

Earth-shattering exclamations echoed through every corner of the Douluo Continent. The Heavenly Ranking's "Unparalleled Rewards" annotation, like the sharpest blade, tore apart everyone's perception of strength.

Qian Renxue's Level 88 Soul Douluo and the final trial of the Angel God Trial, in the face of the "Dou Emperor Peak's" deterrence, appeared so pale.

Beings of the Soul Power System fell into complete despair, while the might of the Dou Qi system reached an unprecedented height.

At Shrek Academy outside Suotuo City, Yu Xiaogang sat on the training ground, still muttering to himself:

"The Soul Power System is the strongest... Qian Renxue is a Soul Douluo, she can definitely crush the Dou Qi system..."

But when Qing Lin's information appeared on the sky screen, especially the words "Dou Emperor Peak," "Heavenly Ranking Reward Limit," and "Dou Emperor Crushes Limit Douluo," his mental defenses completely collapsed.

"No... impossible!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the sky screen.

"How can a Dou Emperor be stronger than a god? The Heavenly Ranking must be wrong! The Soul Power System is the orthodox path, the Dou Qi system is all heresy!"

His voice was hysterical, and the Soul Power around him surged uncontrollably.

But no matter how he roared, the information on the sky screen was like ironclad facts, slapping him across the face.

The sliver of hope brought by Qian Renxue was completely crushed by Qing Lin's appearance on the list.

The theory he had upheld his entire life, the cognition he was proud of, appeared so ridiculous in the face of the Dou Qi system's absolute strength.

"Pfft—" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Yu Xiaogang's mouth, splashing onto the ground and dyeing a patch of green grass red.

He staggered back two steps, the crimson in his eyes quickly fading, replaced by endless despair.

Immediately after, a second and third mouthful of blood spurted out in succession. His body fell like a kite with a broken string.

His vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

"Xiaogang!" Flender exclaimed, rushing forward to catch him. Yu Xiaogang's face was as pale as paper, his breath weak, clearly heartbroken and his origin severely injured.

"Teacher!" Tang San also strode forward, his eyes full of worry. He felt Yu Xiaogang's pulse and said gravely, "Dean, Teacher's mind is severely damaged and requires immediate treatment, otherwise, his life will be in danger!"

Flender nodded, holding Yu Xiaogang and sprinting towards the academy's infirmary, muttering, "Obsession... it's all obsession that harmed you..."

The disciples on the training grounds watched this scene with complex expressions.

Yu Xiaogang's complete breakdown seemed like a microcosm of the Soul Power System's decline, leaving everyone feeling a sense of powerlessness.

Deep in the Sunset Forest, Oscar, guided by an unseen sense, was moving quickly towards Dou Po Academy.

He passed through dense jungles and crossed rapid rivers, his heart a mix of anticipation and apprehension.

He didn't know if he could be accepted by Dou Po Academy, nor if learning Dou Qi could truly prove his ideas.

Just as Oscar was about to reach the outer court of Dou Po, dozens of powerful presences were converging from all directions.

Spies from various forces, including the Martial Soul Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire, after a carpet search, had finally located Dou Po Academy.

They had all arrived with elites, wanting to probe the reality of the Dou Qi System, and even attempting to snatch the Dou Qi cultivation methods.

On the plaza of Dou Po's outer court, Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, clad in a green robe. His aura was condensed and pure, completely devoid of the poisonous miasma that used to surround him.

Beside him, Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang, though old and faded with white hair, exuded terrifying presences.

They had both advanced to the level of Titled Douluo!

On both sides of the plaza, hundreds of outer disciples were neatly lined up. Among them, the Core Disciples had all reached the Dou Grandmaster realm.

The remaining disciples were at the Dou Practitioner and Dou Practitioner levels, their eyes filled with reverence and confidence in the Dou Qi System.

"It seems trouble has found us," Meng Shu stroked his beard, the pressure of his Dragon Staff martial soul subtly released, a glint of fighting spirit in his eyes.

"These guys are quite good at finding places."

Chao Tianxiang nodded, her Serpent Cane martial soul coiling around her. Her voice carried a hint of anger: "Those who come with ill intentions are not welcome.

Since they dare to trespass on our Dou Po Academy, they must be prepared to pay the price."

Dugu Bo smiled faintly, his tone filled with absolute confidence: "Don't worry, however many come, I'll deal with them. It's a good chance to let them see how powerful the Dou Qi System is."

As soon as he finished speaking, three terrifying auras arrived above the square. The one in the lead was clad in golden armor, with a massive Bright Holy Dragon phantom appearing behind him.

It was the Martial Soul Hall's Sacred Dragon Douluo, a Level 91 Titled Douluo!

Two people followed behind him. One exuded a pungent toxic aura, with a Pufferfish phantom appearing, he was the Level 93 Blood Thorn Douluo.

The other held a dark snake spear, with a Snake Lance phantom swirling around, he was the Level 93 Snake Lance Douluo.

The Sacred Dragon Douluo's gaze swept over Dugu Bo and the other two in the square, his eyes full of disdain:

"I didn't expect the outer court of Dou Po Academy to only have three old geezers and a bunch of brats. It seems the so-called Dou Qi System is nothing special."

He recognized the three of them, not expecting them to have become the "guardians" of Dou Po Academy.

He immediately let out a cold snort and unleashed his Seventh Spirit Skill: "Seventh Spirit Skill Holy Dragon True Body!"

The massive Bright Holy Dragon phantom instantly solidified, dozens of feet long, emanating a sacred Golden Light.

Its dragon claws tore through the air, striking fiercely at Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang.

The Sacred Dragon Douluo's target was clear: deal with the two weakest old geezers first, then take care of Dugu Bo.

"Arrogant!" Meng Shu roared, his Seventh Spirit Skill also erupting: "Seventh Spirit Skill Staff True Body!"

The Dragon Staff grew larger, its power amplified, transforming into a giant dragon form to aid in the battle.

A golden dragon phantom soared into the sky and collided with the Bright Holy Dragon. The two dragon mights intertwined and clashed, shaking the entire square.

Although Meng Shu was old, after advancing to Titled Douluo, the power of his Dragon Staff martial soul was even greater than before, and he was not at all weaker than the Bright Holy Dragon.
