How Does Spirit Hall Deserve to Be the World's Number-One Power!

Ye Lingling's martial soul was the top-tier Nine Heart Begonia among Healing System martial souls. Her Innate Soul Power had also reached rank nine. Although Support System Soul Masters cultivated slowly, her talent had still brought her to the level expected of a genius. Its rarity and strategic value were both top among the top, and her martial soul could even heal everyone at once. Rank nineteen was well deserved.

After the reward, the absorption limit for every subsequent soul ring would increase by thirty percent, the curse that allowed only two martial soul inheritors to exist in the Ye Family at the same time would be broken, and she would receive one Immortal Herb, the Nine Heart Begonia!

Heaven Dou Empire Royal Academy,

Ye Lingling excitedly hugged her chest with both hands, unable to stop trembling.

Being listed on the Talent Golden Ranking naturally delighted her beyond measure. But the Talent Golden Ranking's rewards were what she and the thousand-year-old Ye Family wanted and valued most.

She, Ye Lingling, had done it. Through her own talent, she had broken this curse!

Her good friend Dugu Yan was happy for her as well, and she spoke.

"Lingling, you're amazing. I wonder if I can get on this Golden Ranking."

Dugu Yan herself felt somewhat melancholy. Her grandfather had not come to see her for half a month, and she could not find him even after returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Yanyan!"

Dugu Yan was just thinking about her grandfather when she heard that familiar voice.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was flying over from the sky.

"Grandpa, why did you take so long to come find me?"

"Yanyan, Lingling, do you want to go study at Great Wall Academy?"

Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong sat upright on the Pope's throne, lightly tapping the armrest with her fingers.

"These geniuses on the Golden Ranking are all outsiders to Spirit Hall. See if we can recruit them. We need some geniuses."

Bibi Dong had been shocked by Great Wall Academy's astonishing domination of half the Power Ranking. Before this, she had been satisfied with Spirit Hall's reputation as the number-one power in the world.

But now, if one casually found a Soul Master and asked them, they would hesitate for a long time between Great Wall Academy and Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong, whose ambitions ran deep, naturally did not want this to happen.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"

After Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo left, the other Titled Douluo elders had all been dispatched to the front line outside the Clear Sky Sect.

Although Qian Renxue had stopped them outside the mountain gate, they still remained stationed there, waiting for Bibi Dong's orders.

As a result, Bibi Dong now had only a few Red Cardinals at her disposal. On top of that, due to the influence of the Rakshasa God, the number of Red Cardinals was dwindling by the day.

"Teacher, don't worry. My brother and I will naturally achieve good rankings."

"And me, Nana."

Yan added from the side. When Bibi Dong saw the three of them arrive, she was delighted as well.

After all, her love for Hu Liena far surpassed what she felt for Qian Renxue. She had entirely treated Hu Liena as a daughter and raised her accordingly.

"Nana can definitely enter the top three of the Talent Ranking. First place will certainly go to Your Holiness the Pope. Xie Yue and I can just settle for seventh or eighth."

[Talent Golden Ranking, eighteenth place: Spirit Hall, Xie Yue!]

[Martial soul: Crescent Moon Saber. Innate Soul Power: rank nine. Rank forty-five Power Attack System Soul Ancestor. Age: eighteen!]

Yan's words fell together with the Golden Ranking's announcement. For a moment, the air in the Papal Palace fell silent.

Hu Liena was even more stunned, standing frozen in place with her eyes full of shock. Her brother Xie Yue's talent was only slightly inferior to hers, and the difference was merely half a rank of Innate Soul Power. How could he be ranked only eighteenth?

For a moment, self-doubt surged in Hu Liena's heart. But Yan immediately began cursing the Golden Ranking.

As someone pursuing Hu Liena, he naturally would not give up the chance to show off in front of his future brother-in-law. In his mouth, the Golden Ranking became a blind, foul-mouthed piece of trash.

The Golden Ranking's evaluation followed soon after. Xie Yue's expression turned ugly, but he still maintained his composure in front of Bibi Dong.

[Xie Yue's martial soul is the Crescent Moon Saber, with fairly good quality. His Innate Soul Power is passable. He was listed because of his high combat awareness and stable temperament, hence his ranking.]

[Reward: The absorption limit for subsequent soul rings will increase by thirty percent, and the number of martial soul quality upgrades will increase by one!]

Looking at his brief evaluation, Xie Yue inexplicably felt somewhat like a supporting role, and one with very little screen time at that.

However, he quickly steadied his mindset. Just as the Golden Ranking's evaluation had said, his talent might not be particularly dazzling, but stability in battle was an even rarer and more valuable talent.

As a crimson-gold stream of light descended, Xie Yue's Crescent Moon Saber martial soul was summoned uncontrollably.

"This is your opportunity. Just absorb it."

Bibi Dong had remained seriously injured ever since provoking the Golden Ranking a few days ago. She merely offered Xie Yue a brief reminder before closing her mouth.

Yan was still ranting and cursing incessantly beside them. A trace of disgust flashed through Hu Liena's eyes, but then she saw that immediately after announcing Xie Yue's reward, the Golden Ranking began broadcasting again.

[Talent Golden Ranking, seventeenth place: Spirit Hall, Yan!]

[Martial soul: Earth Lord. Innate Soul Power: rank nine and a half. Rank forty-six Power Attack System Soul Ancestor. Age: eighteen!]

Yan's cursing stopped. Although he had always said that he and Xie Yue could settle for seventh or eighth place, after Xie Yue had been ranked only twentieth, he had not realized that his words might become reality.

In his view, his talent was considerably better than Xie Yue's.

Yet he was now ranked only seventeenth on the Talent Golden Ranking. With his normally hot-tempered personality, how could he endure it? He was just about to continue insulting the Golden Ranking.

Then Bibi Dong spoke.

"Stop making a racket. If your talent is lacking, cultivate harder."

Although Yan felt indignant inside, Bibi Dong was the Pope after all, so he naturally said nothing more.

Now, the Spirit Master World had begun praising Spirit Hall again. After Great Wall Academy had suddenly emerged a few days ago, a group of people who disliked Spirit Hall's conduct had begun lavishly praising Great Wall Academy.

But how could such a massive power as Spirit Hall have no lackeys? In Su Han's previous life's words, they were brainless fans.

Now that they saw Spirit Hall's people appearing on the rankings one after another, talk of Spirit Hall being number one in the world and possessing profound foundations began to spread once more.

However, some high-level Soul Masters who knew the inside story began to snicker. Xie Yue and Yan were names that could not be more familiar in the intelligence reports of the major powers.

Spirit Hall's vaunted Golden Generation had also been confirmed as an absolutely formidable contender for the championship of the next All-Continent Soul Master League, yet they had only ranked below fifteenth.

Then what qualifications did Spirit Hall have to be the number-one power on the continent?

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect,

Ning Fengzhi wore a smile. Watching Spirit Hall make a fool of itself was what the Upper Three Sects loved most.

Sword Douluo beside him loudly praised Ning Rongrong, making Ning Rongrong feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Old Sword is right. Our Rong Rong can definitely enter the top ten of the Talent Ranking. We all have rank-nine Innate Soul Power, and our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is surely much stronger than that Nine Heart Begonia. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Rong Rong directly took a top-ten spot and broke the sect's curse?"
