Each with Their Own Schemes, Memory Recall Begins

Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile were momentarily stunned.

Just by engaging in Yin Yang Fusion with a woman on the ranking for the first time, one could rise a level?

If it was truly that miraculous, then at Qian Daoliu's current level, wouldn't he be able to break through the bottleneck directly?

"B-Big Brother! Why do I feel like this is our chance to become gods?"

Golden Crocodile Great Enshrinement's breathing had become rapid.

It was only twenty-fifth place, yet it already had such an effect.

What about the top ten? The top three?

The emotions Qian Daoliu had kept buried for so long began to churn violently as well.

When he was young, he had missed the best opportunity for a God Test in order to protect Spirit Hall.

As he grew older, he no longer had enough energy to complete one.

Thus, he had remained forever stuck at level 99, only one step away.

If he rose another level, could he skip the God Test and obtain a God Position directly?

"Great Worship, is the information on the ranking true?"

A breeze swept through, and Qing Luan Douluo appeared in the Worship Hall, asking nervously.

With his arrival, the remaining four Venerables also appeared, their expressions filled with urgency.

Qian Daoliu could communicate with the Archangel Statue. Could this Heavenly Ranking have been created by the God Realm?

"After the Heavenly Ranking appeared, I tried to contact Lord Angel, but a mysterious force obstructed me."

"What?"

The Venerables were all shocked. In their understanding, the God Realm was the strongest!

"I believe that since this Heavenly Ranking can even sever the connection between the God Realm and Douluo Continent—"

"Then the information on it cannot possibly be false!"

A cold glint flashed through Qian Daoliu's eyes. He had to seize the initiative and advance to level 100 ahead of time!

Then, once he captured every woman on the ranking, no one would be able to threaten Spirit Hall!

"Go investigate where this Dark Night Arena is, and find out who the Catwoman's Master is."

"We must get there before everyone else!"

"Wait!" Guang Ling Douluo suddenly stopped everyone.

"Could Xue'er possibly make the ranking?"

"..." The people in the hall paused mid-step, followed by a deafening roar!

"Boom—!"

Qian Daoliu, who had just been delighted at the prospect of becoming a god, suddenly became like a furious lion.

A powerful aura erupted from him.

The incomparably hard stone slabs beneath his feet exploded, sending shattered rocks flying everywhere.

"Anyone who sets their sights on Xue'er will die!"

Qian Daoliu's murderous roar echoed throughout all of Spirit City.

Golden Crocodile Douluo beside him exploded with rage as well, the massive Golden Crocodile King behind him roaring madly.

The entire skies above Spirit City trembled with the sound.

"Whoever dares touch even a finger on Xue'er, I'll chew up their bones one by one and swallow them!"

"Qing Luan, go to Heaven Dou City at once and protect Xue'er!"

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi stared darkly at the information on the Heavenly Curtain, especially the section on Yin Yang Fusion.

He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just moments ago, he had actually been happily hoping for his daughter to make the ranking!

"Uncle Gu, please find Rong Rong as soon as possible, meet up with Uncle Chen, and bring her back!"

Ning Fengzhi spoke rapidly in a hoarse voice, sweat already beginning to bead across his face.

He did not dare gamble.

Rong Rong had little combat ability, and she was beautiful. What if she was the next one to make the ranking?

In the eyes of those madmen who craved power, she would be nothing more than a fish on the chopping block, at their mercy.

"Understood!"

Gu Rong did not dare delay. He immediately flew into the air and headed for Heaven Dou City to find Ning Rongrong.

At the same time, Ning Fengzhi could no longer sit still. He immediately prepared a carriage and set out for Heaven Dou City.

Others might not know about this Dark Night Arena.

But he knew of it. He had even contributed somewhat to its construction back then.

Yet he had never met the Master of this Duel Arena.

Who would have thought that the first woman revealed today would be connected to this place?

Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Xiao and the elders discussed the Peerless Beauty Ranking all at once.

"It can directly raise one's level and increase Soul Ring age. It is both an opportunity and a disaster."

"Our Clear Sky Sect doesn't seem to have anyone especially beautiful..."

"Really? Why do I feel that we do?"

When Tang Xiao heard this, his brows rose. "Yuehua?"

Although his younger sister Yuehua was already in her thirties, she was indeed stunningly beautiful.

She possessed a cool and lofty temperament, with a trace of allure hidden within her nobility.

Like a perfectly ripe peach, she made people unable to resist taking a bite.

"I don't want her to make the ranking!"

"She is at Moonlight Pavilion now, and everyone knows it."

"Once she makes the ranking, Spirit Hall or the Empire will definitely set their sights on her!"

"Should we emerge from seclusion to save her then?"

The elders exchanged looks. Indeed, that was true. It was a direct level increase!

What Titled Douluo could resist that?

"Should we bring her back first?"

"...Let's wait. If we bring her back and she doesn't make the ranking, everyone will be embarrassed."

Skywater Academy.

The female students, who had been chattering and laughing as they discussed things, now fell into dead silence.

"Clatter!"

A young girl's small dressing mirror slipped from her hand and shattered into several pieces on the ground.

"Yin Yang Fusion... level increase..."

In this world of survival of the fittest on Douluo Continent, they were all Soul Masters.

Naturally, they understood what this meant.

The girls who had just been comparing who might make the ranking—

Now no longer dared dress themselves up while eagerly anticipating whether they would be chosen.

The usually lively Shui Yue'er tugged at the hem of her school uniform skirt, trying to cover her exposed, fair thighs.

Actually, it might be better not to make the ranking.

Shui Bing'er stood there somewhat stiffly, staring at the explanation for Yin Yang Fusion on the Peerless Beauty Ranking.

On the academy's highest terrace stood a beautiful mature woman whose charm remained undiminished.

She was Bai Shuang, the headmistress of Skywater Academy.

At that moment, she too was staring fixedly at the sky, her chest rising and falling violently.

After looking around Skywater City beneath the night sky, she felt as though countless prying eyes had already surrounded them.

Who on the entire Douluo Continent did not know that Skywater Academy accepted only female students?

And they had to be beautiful female students!

"This is insane... utterly insane..."

With so many beautiful female students in the academy, someone would definitely make the ranking!

This was practically a death warrant!

She knew all too well the greed of those Titled Douluo.

Now that Dual Cultivation with a peerless beauty on the ranking could raise their level by one, they would absolutely come to seize people!

Headmistress Bai Shuang spun around sharply. Her usual elegant and dignified image could no longer be maintained as she hurriedly gave orders.

"Quick! Activate the academy's highest-level defenses!"

"Notify the students outside: either return home immediately, or come back to the academy at once!"

"And!" Bai Shuang took a deep breath.

"Request aid from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. It would be best if they send people to protect us."

This ranking had truly pushed Skywater Academy into the vortex of conflict among the powerful.

[Memory Recall · Activated · Hua Xi]

The previously motionless Golden Heavenly Curtain suddenly rippled in layers.

Immediately afterward, an enormous and incomparably clear image slowly unfolded.

A scene spanning time began playing before the eyes of every living being looking up at the sky.

In the image was a crude stone house, with an awakening formation carved into the floor.

A little girl who looked only six years old stood timidly at its center.

She wore coarse linen clothes covered in patches.

Yet they could not hide her delicately carved doll-like face, while her large eyes were filled with nervousness.

"Hold out your right hand," said the Soul Master in charge of the awakening.

The little girl obediently did as she was told.

As specks of Soul Power light flowed into her body, a strange scene unfolded.

The usual sickle, hoe, or beastly shadow did not appear.

Instead, the little girl's body changed.

With a soft "pop," a pair of fluffy pointed ears sprang from her little head, trembling slightly.

From beneath the hem of her skirt, a long white cat tail swung out uncontrollably.

"This..."

The Soul Master in charge of the awakening widened his eyes, circling the little girl several times before crying out, "A mutation?"

"A mutation actually occurred during Martial Soul awakening? It even affected her physical traits!"

"This is the permanent manifestation of a Beast Martial Soul! Extremely rare!"

Only then did everyone understand why she was called the "Catwoman."

But since Spirit Hall had been responsible for her awakening, why had she not joined Spirit Hall?

The image shifted.
