Hu Liena Makes the Ranking—Unprecedented Among Her Peers, Unmatched by Future Generations?

The Heavenly Ranking shone with vast golden light.

One line of large golden characters vanished after another.

New large golden characters formed one after another.

Everyone looked toward the Heavenly Ranking.

Everyone's eyes widened slightly.

Douluo Continent fell into dead silence.

"Finally, a famous beauty!"

"Mm, she ranked twelfth. She deserves it."

"A famous great beauty! Ahhh... I love her!"

[Beauty Ranking, Twelfth Place: Hu Liena]

[Affiliation: Spirit Hall]

[Appearance: 96.8]

[Evaluation: Hu Liena had a head of soft, smooth hair, an exquisite face, and an almost perfect figure.

Even her voice carried a special charm that captivated people.

Her beauty was like a rose—thorny yet alluring.

Her charm was born from her Martial Soul and enhanced by her status.

She joined Spirit Hall from a young age, and her confidence made her even more beautiful.

She was willing to devote her life to Spirit Hall and eliminate all Evil.

However, she also had flaws.

All things considered, she deserved a place on the ranking.]

[Reward: Soul Power Level increased by three levels, all Soul Ring ages increased by 2,500 years, charm +6, temperament +10, gratitude +10, poison resistance +20.]

At the training grounds of Spirit Hall's Advanced Academy.

"Ahhh..."

Yan suddenly shrieked, his voice incredibly piercing.

The cry startled both Hu Liena and Xie Yue.

"Yan, are you insane?"

Xie Yue snapped irritably.

"Ever since the Heavenly Ranking appeared, he hasn't been serious for a moment. He keeps staring at it and shrieking every now and then!"

Hu Liena felt a wave of disappointment toward Yan. He really was hopeless. He only trained for a few seconds before looking at the Heavenly Ranking again.

Still, she did not bother with him.

Whether he grew stronger or not was his own business.

There were eight or nine members of their team at the training grounds, along with several staff members.

Suddenly, everyone else looked toward the sky as well.

"Wow, our Vice Captain made the ranking!"

"Yeah, twelfth place!"

"Holy crap, the reward raises Soul Power by three levels..."

Amid the commotion.

Hu Liena looked toward the Heavenly Ranking as well.

She saw those three golden characters.

She froze for a moment.

Then her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

A trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

She had thought that with her peerless beauty and perfect figure, she would definitely enter the top ten.

Yet she had only ranked twelfth.

It truly exceeded her expectations.

Naturally, she was unwilling to accept it.

But the Heavenly Ranking was like a divine miracle.

She could only swallow her indignation and anger in silence.

"Nana, why are you still unhappy? Isn't twelfth place good enough?"

Xie Yue saw through his younger sister's thoughts and reached out to rub her head.

Hu Liena immediately kicked out.

"Ah..."

Xie Yue let out a miserable cry. Bent over like a shrimp, he flew backward.

Hu Liena bristled like an enraged fox.

"I'm not Little Nana from when we were children, someone you can casually pat on the head! I already hate how you hang around Yan all day!"

"I... ah, my back!"

Xie Yue only stopped after his back slammed into the wall. Grimacing in pain, he clutched his waist and stood up, then shuffled back while hunched over. "Nana... you heartless girl!"

"I barely used any strength. With your ability, you're completely fine. Stop pretending!"

Hu Liena said coldly.

"..."

Xie Yue was speechless. He really could not hide anything from his sister's sharp fox eyes.

Bibi Dong stood atop Pope's Palace, looking down at Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the others in the distance.

She had not expected Nana to have such a good figure, such a beautiful face, and such boundless charm, yet only rank twelfth.

It left her somewhat surprised and disappointed.

She had originally thought Nana's looks would be enough to put her in the top ten.

Heavenly Ranking, were you blind?

That Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy was even ranked thirteenth.

My Nana was tens of millions of times prettier than her.

Bibi Dong was extremely dissatisfied with the Heavenly Ranking's placement.

She gazed into the distance coldly, but did not say a word.

Instead, she watched Nana and Xie Yue's little squabble on the training grounds.

Being young was wonderful. Having siblings was wonderful. Having companions was wonderful.

Bibi Dong recalled her childhood, when she had no companions and no friends.

Everything had been tightly controlled by that damned, disgusting man.

He only made her train and study, forbidding her from interacting with anyone else.

It was not until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament that he allowed her to communicate with others.

But those teammates had all been too afraid of Qian Xunji to speak with her.

When she was seventeen, Qian Xunji became very busy and no longer had time to watch over her at every moment.

She secretly left Spirit Hall and met a young man.

That young man was learned and talented, but his Soul Power was very low.

Still, he was willing to play with her and take her out for fun.

At that time, she had felt that those were the happiest days of her life.

Unfortunately, happiness was so fleeting. Qian Xunji discovered her relationship with Yu Xiaogang.

In the end, her relationship with Yu Xiaogang came to nothing.

"Alas! The past mind cannot be grasped, the present mind cannot be grasped, the future mind cannot be grasped..."

Bibi Dong shook her head.

The light of the Heavenly Ranking surged, then condensed before descending to envelop Hu Liena.

"Buzz..."

Hu Liena felt comfortable all over, as though she were being held by her teacher.

A mysterious energy flowed from the top of her head into her limbs and bones.

Hu Liena's Soul Power continuously soared, shooting from level fifty-one to level fifty-four.

"Wow..."

Yan stood nearby, watching Hu Liena's entire body glitter with golden light. Her hair fluttered lightly, and her fair skin was flushed with rosy color. She was so beautiful that she seemed inhuman.

His eyes widened as he stared at her.

He had never imagined that Nana could be beautiful to such an explosive degree at this moment.

Xie Yue was also envious of Nana. She had actually risen three levels in a row.

Her Soul Power Level was now even higher than his.

Making the Beauty Ranking really was awesome.

Twenty-one years old, level fifty-four.

Once her Soul Ring ages increased, her Soul Power would rise another two or three levels.

At Nana's age and Soul Power Level, would she not become someone unprecedented and unmatched by future generations?

After all, she was the foremost member of the Golden Generation.

She had received His Holiness the Pope's favor and cultivation. No one would be able to compare with her strength.

Xie Yue looked at Hu Liena, happy for her and deeply envious as well.

Yan gazed at Hu Liena with a lovestruck expression.

"Buzz..." Hu Liena's Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath her feet: two yellow, two purple, and one black.

Beneath the golden radiance, the two yellow rings turned purple. The two purple rings deepened in color, while the black ring became slightly darker as well.

Thus, the age of all her Soul Rings increased by 2,500 years.

Her Soul Power Level rose from level fifty-four to level fifty-six.

Xie Yue and Yan were practically numb with envy.

The reward for twelfth place on the Beauty Ranking had actually allowed Hu Liena to rise five levels in a row.

That was too terrifying.

Her charm, temperament, poison resistance, and Grateful Heart had all improved.

When the golden light faded.

Hu Liena opened her eyes as well. She felt as though she had undergone a rebirth.

She felt that she had transformed.

The feeling was truly incredibly wondrous.

"Congratulations, Nana!"

"Nana... your level is higher than mine now! Come on, let's spar. Let your brother see whether your strength has improved along with your Soul Power Level!"

Xie Yue was eager to try, wanting to test his younger sister's strength.

"Sure!"

Hu Liena had the same idea.

"Buzz..."

Four purple and one black Soul Ring rose beneath her feet, and powerful Soul Power swept outward.

It even forced Yan back several steps.

Yan was stunned. Nana had already pulled ahead of him in Soul Power Level, though he was deeply unwilling to accept it.

"Buzz..."

Xie Yue's Soul Rings slowly rose beneath his feet as well: two yellow, two purple, and one black, radiating the aura of a level fifty-two Soul King.

Facing Hu Liena now, he felt immense pressure.
