Genius Ranking Update

Yu Tianxin let out a long sigh, a satisfied smile on his face. He stood up, cupped his hands towards Lin Yue on the high platform, and then led the two elders backstage to prepare for the handover of points and treasures.

Tang San watched Yu Tianxin's departing back, a hint of envy rising in his heart. He could clearly feel the energy contained within the Thousand Year Soul Ring Purification Liquid. If he could obtain it, he would easily break through to Soul Ancestor when absorbing his next spirit ring. He clenched his fist secretly, a thought forming in his mind—he must accumulate points as quickly as possible to unlock higher-tier treasures at the auction house. Only then could he avoid being left behind by others.

The auction continued. The next two auction items—one was an "Artifact Refining Talisman" that could improve the success rate of refining Soul Tools, and the other was "Spirit Condensing Dew" that could quickly restore Soul Power—were also acquired by two hidden Soul Master families and an Imperial Noble, respectively. Both transactions exceeded 150,000 points.

After the auction ended, everyone gradually left the Auction Hall. Tang San deliberately stayed behind and found the administrator in charge of point exchange, asking, "Excuse me, besides exchanging resources for points, are there any other ways to accumulate points?"

The administrator looked at Tang San and explained in a gentle tone, "Besides resource exchange, you can also accumulate points by completing tasks released by the auction house, such as collecting rare herbs or assisting in organizing spirit beast data. Additionally, the auction house's arena matches also offer point rewards. If you win a challenge, you can earn quite a few points."

Tang San nodded, keeping the administrator's words firmly in mind. He looked at Lin Yue on the high platform, his eyes filled with determination—from today onwards, he would cultivate even harder, while actively participating in the auction house's tasks and arena matches to accumulate enough points and strive to unlock higher-tier treasures as soon as possible.

Lin Yue noticed Tang San's gaze and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knew that Tang San's potential was limitless. If he could guide him through the auction house's point system, he might become a great asset to the auction house in the future.

Meanwhile, backstage, Yu Tianxin was carefully taking over the jade bottle containing the Thousand Year Soul Ring Purification Liquid. He opened the stopper, and a rich energy aura rushed towards him, making him exclaim, "Such potent energy! With this bottle of elixir, the young disciples of my clan will surely break through their bottlenecks!"

The elder from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan looked at the jade bottle with great relief in his eyes. "We were able to bid for this elixir this time thanks to the Young Master's decisiveness. I believe the Sect Master will be very pleased when he learns of this."

Yu Tianxin nodded, his reverence for the auction house growing. He looked at the jade bottle in his hand and secretly resolved—he must maintain closer contact with the auction house in the future and strive to obtain bidding permission for more high-tier treasures.

The sunset shone through the window, casting its light on the high platform of the Auction Hall. Lin Yue sat in the main seat, looking at the continuously growing point records on the System Panel, a satisfied smile on his lips. The success of this auction not only made the auction house's reputation even more prominent but also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent release of higher-tier treasures.

He knew that as major powers paid increasing attention to the auction house, future auctions would become even more intense. His task was to continuously introduce rarer treasures, attract more forces to participate, and ultimately build the Otherworld Auction House into the most top-tier force on the Douluo Continent.

Tang San stood at the entrance of the Auction Hall, watching the dispersing crowd, his heart filled with motivation. He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with longing—one day, he would rely on his own efforts to bid for the most top-tier treasures at the auction house and become the most powerful Soul Master on the Douluo Continent.

The golden light screen of the Otherworld Auction House suddenly lit up in the morning light. Unlike its usual soft halo, today's light screen was like gilded engraving, projecting dense text into the sky above the square, visible even to Soul Masters a hundred miles away—the auction house was officially updating the "Genius Ranking" for the first time, publicly announcing the top 50 names across the continent.

The news exploded like thunder, and forces from various powers rushed towards the auction house. The square was soon crowded, with Soul Masters in different attire packed together, their eyes fixed on the light screen with a mixture of eager heat and nervous trembling. For them, this list was not just a ranking but also proof of the auction house's point rewards, and points could be exchanged for elixirs, cultivation methods, or even opportunities to break through bottlenecks that could change their destinies.

On the east side of the square, the Shrek Academy team was squeezed into the front row. Flender's Dean's Robe was wrinkled from being jostled, but he tightly clenched his fists, his gaze scanning the light screen, muttering, "Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu... our Seven Monsters must all make the list!"

Dai Mubai stood beside him, his White Tiger Martial Soul's aura subconsciously restrained, yet he couldn't hide the heaving of his chest. The White Tiger Martial Soul was a top-tier beast martial soul, but thinking of the Golden Generation of the Martial Soul Hall and the geniuses of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, sweat beaded on his palms. "Dean, people from the Martial Soul Hall are definitely at the front, and Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... where do we rank?"

Tang San stood at the end of the line, his fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of his clothes. Although his Blue Silver Grass possessed Innate Full Soul Power and he had the Clear Sky Hammer as his twin martial soul, his combat experience was far inferior to that of noble family disciples. At this moment, his heart felt like it was suspended in mid-air. "If I can make the list, even if I get some points to exchange for a bottle of Soul Power Pill, it can help lighten the burden for my teachers..."

Xiao Wu's rabbit-ear shaped martial soul swayed gently above her head. She tugged Tang San's sleeve and whispered comfortingly, "You'll definitely make it! Last time you used Blue Silver Grass to bind that Thousand Year Spirit Beast, you were even more amazing than Brother Dai!"

On the west side of the square, the Martial Soul Hall's white-robed contingent was particularly conspicuous. Hu Liena stood at the front, the seductive aura of her Demon Fox Martial Soul faint. Her gaze on the light screen held both confidence and a hint of nervousness—she wanted to surpass her older brother Xie Yue, and even more so, she wanted her grandfather Qian Daoliu to see her strength.

"Yan, do you think we can make the top five?" Xie Yue asked Yan beside him, his tone uncertain. Yan's Flame Lord Martial Soul was domineering, and his Soul Power had already reached level 40, but he wasn't confident he could firmly suppress the geniuses of other forces.

Not far away, Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stood on tiptoes, her goose-yellow skirt fluttering in the wind. She clutched the Staff ID Card at her waist, feeling both expectant and apprehensive. "I'm only level 33, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is a support martial soul. It would be good just to make the list, let alone get into the top 10..."

Suddenly, the text on the light screen stopped scrolling, and the golden list froze in mid-air like a brand—
