Golden Ranking's Tenth Place Revealed! Bibi Dong Covets It!

Golden Crocodile Douluo finally recovered from the boundless shock. He looked at Jing, his gaze filled with utmost reverence as he carefully asked,

"May I ask... why did Your Excellency choose to help us?"

He could not understand it. Given her strength, she had absolutely no reason to involve herself in the war between Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires.

Jing restrained her aura, and her nine red rings vanished from sight.

Her cool gaze did not fall upon Golden Crocodile Douluo, but looked into the distance, toward the Great Tang Empire.

Deep within those eyes seemed to lie a tenderness no one could understand.

She slowly spoke. Her voice remained cool, yet her words struck everyone present like lightning.

"Brother Qian Yu asked me to do this."

Golden Crocodile Douluo froze.

Spirit Kite Douluo froze as well.

Every surviving Spirit Hall expert froze.

Brother Qian Yu?

Golden Crocodile Douluo's entire body stiffened, and the muscles in his face twitched uncontrollably.

He had lived for a hundred years and had witnessed countless storms, but what he saw before him now completely overturned everything he knew.

A Limit Douluo with nine Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings and unfathomable strength actually called that Qian Yu... brother?

It sounded even more absurd than a fairy tale.

The other Spirit Hall Elders also stood rooted to the spot, their expressions vacant, as though their souls had been ripped away.

Their minds were utterly incapable of processing such an overwhelming amount of information.

However, before they could break free from their boundless shock, the Heavenly Screen high above shone brilliantly once more.

Golden Divine Light flowed across it, dyeing the entire sky a dazzling gold.

[Spirit Ranking, Tenth Place!]

[Martial Soul Name: Life String Qin!]

[Holder: Cai Wenji!]

A new ranking, a new name—it once again seized the attention of every living being across the continent.

Immediately afterward, the image on the Heavenly Screen shifted.

Within a lush emerald world brimming with vitality, an ancient qin floated silently in the air.

The entire qin seemed to have been forged from a material resembling living emerald. Countless profound and ancient patterns were carved across its body, as though they contained the most primordial truths of life in heaven and earth.

Its strings were not tangible objects, but condensed from pure life energy. With every faint tremor, they seemed capable of reviving all things and bringing a hundred flowers into bloom.

It floated there quietly, yet radiated a vast and endless aura of life powerful enough to move even gods.

[Controls the power of life and contains ultimate vitality. It can heal any injury, revive all things, and is said to be capable of resurrecting even the dead!]

Every word on the Heavenly Screen was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly striking the hearts of everyone watching.

Heal any injury?

Revive all things?

Resurrect the dead?!

This was no longer the power of a soul master. This was authority possessed only by the God of Creation!

[Grade: Super God-Tier Detached Martial Soul!]

[Reward: The holder's Spirit Power Solidification increases sixfold. The age of all Spirit Rings increases by one hundred thousand years! Obtains Godly Skill: Life Echo!]

[Life Echo: Upon using this soul skill, allies receiving treatment will be unaffected by any negative effects. While healing them, it inflicts an equal amount of fatal damage upon enemies! It can also grant the user permanently stacking Spell Power, with no upper limit!]

Beyond Jialing Pass, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Life Lake.

The lake water was clear enough to reveal its bottom. Life energy, so dense it was nearly tangible, turned into mist that blanketed the entire surface.

Upon the island at the lake's center, an exquisitely beautiful figure sat quietly in meditation.

Her silver hair flowed down to her ankles like a waterfall formed from moonlight. Within her violet eyes seemed to rest a sea of stars, noble and mysterious.

She was none other than the sleeping sovereign among fierce beasts, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

At that moment, she raised her flawless face toward the ranking in the sky. For the first time, violent ripples arose within her placid violet eyes.

"Life String Qin... what kind of Martial Soul is this?"

Her voice was cool and pleasant, yet it carried a tremor even she herself had not noticed.

Several figures stood respectfully at her side.

At the front was a man dressed in black with a proud gaze. He was the Beast God, Di Tian.

Di Tian frowned and said gravely, "Cai Wenji... I have never heard this name before. Since when did such a figure appear on the continent?"

On the other side, a woman in an emerald-green gown, gentle in temperament and radiating the aura of life, also sighed in astonishment.

She was the Jade Swan, Bi Ji.

Bi Ji's eyes were filled with shock as she murmured, "She can actually perfectly control the power of life... heal any injury, revive all things, and even... resurrect the dead!"

"This is far too heaven-defying!"

As the chief of the Emerald Clan and a Soul Beast with a cultivation of five hundred and eighty thousand years, Bi Ji excelled most in healing.

She had always believed that, in the field of healing, no one on the entire continent could surpass her.

Yet after seeing the Heavenly Screen's description of the Life String Qin, the ability she had taken such pride in seemed utterly insignificant.

That was no longer healing. It was control over the deepest laws of life!

Gu Yuena's gaze locked firmly onto the words "even the dead can be resurrected," and even her breathing became somewhat hurried.

She slowly spoke, her voice carrying a trace of unprecedented anticipation.

"A Super God-Tier Detached Martial Soul... if the description is true, then this Cai Wenji's life healing ability is enough to rival that of a true God of Life."

"Perhaps... she truly has the ability to heal my injuries."

"What?!"

The moment Gu Yuena said this, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Ten Thousand Demon King, and all the other fierce beasts changed expression in horror.

"My Lord! You mean... she can heal the Dao Injury left behind by a God King?!"

Di Tian's voice trembled.

They understood better than anyone how severe Gu Yuena's injuries were.

Back during the great war in the God Realm, she had been wounded by the divine sword of the Asura God. It was a Dao Injury containing the laws of a supreme God King, one that could neither be erased nor healed. She could only rely on slumber to slow the worsening of her condition.

This Dao Injury was an eternal pain in the hearts of all Soul Beasts!

But now, their lord was saying that a human soul master might be able to heal her injuries?

How could they not be excited? How could they not be shocked?

Jialing Pass, Shrek camp.

"Life String Qin? Tenth place? What kind of Martial Soul is that? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

Dai Mubai also frowned deeply. As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he considered himself well-read and knowledgeable, yet he knew nothing about this Martial Soul either.

"Master, do you know?" Oscar looked toward Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang pushed up his glasses, his expression solemn.

"Life String Qin? There is no record of this Martial Soul in my database, yet it actually ranks tenth..."
