Ah Yin Makes the Ranking, Tang Hao Goes Mad

An image of an exceptionally handsome young man also surfaced in Xue Qinghe's mind.

He had flowing long hair, peerless features, an otherworldly temperament, eyes as deep as the stars, and unfathomable strength.

That person was Lu Xia.

If he made the ranking, the entire Douluo Continent would erupt.

Elder Snake Lance looked over, Lu Xia's figure seemingly reflected in his eyes.

Xue Qinghe smiled. "Elder Snake Lance, don't tell me you think Lu Xia might make the Beauty Ranking?"

"Mm... Young Master and I saw Lu Xia before. He was so handsome that..."

Elder Snake Lance nearly suffocated just saying it.

"He really was so handsome that it left one..."

Xue Qinghe's face reddened slightly as she spoke, a trace of bashfulness flashing through her eyes.

"Wahaha... Good, very good! Someone actually made Xue'er yearn for love? Haha... Lu Xia... the headmaster of that Qingyun Academy, right? The fellow who taught two students who made the Beauty Ranking. Nineteen years old, was he? He truly was a monster!

Grand Elder is searching for Qingyun Academy's location, and the Pope is searching too... but neither has found it!

Qingyun Academy must have used some miraculous method to hide itself!"

Guang Ling looked at Xue Qinghe and spoke with a faint smile.

"An exceptionally handsome man making the ranking is understandable, but how can a soul beast make it? Could it have transformed into a human?"

Pufferfish could not understand how a soul beast could make the ranking. If it had transformed, it would be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If its identity were exposed, it would be hunted across the world.

That was why he found it difficult to imagine how a soul beast could make the Beauty Ranking.

"Transformation is indeed one possibility. Perhaps some of the peerless beauties on the ranking are transformed soul beasts, and we simply do not know! However, there is an ancient book in the Worship Hall's library that only the elders may read. It says that soul beasts undergo a tribulation every hundred thousand years. If they feel they cannot survive the Heavenly Tribulation, their only option is to transform.

There are also soul beasts with cultivation periods of one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand years, or even greater, that seem able to first assume human form...

Furthermore, if that soul beast fails to survive a Heavenly Tribulation in the future, the form it transforms into will be the same form it previously assumed."

Elder Guang Ling suddenly took out a lump of mud and began kneading it.

"Like this mud—you shape yourself a form!"

"You can shape it like that?"

Elder Porcupinefish had read little, and he was utterly stunned upon hearing this. "There really are soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old? One hundred thousand years? Two hundred thousand years?"

"Of course.

However, we have never seen a soul beast over one hundred thousand years old.

So it is all merely speculation. Even if they made the ranking, we would not know! After all, the Heavenly Ranking did not reveal whether they were soul beasts or Soul Masters!"

Guang Ling quickly molded a little yellow chick. It somehow looked rather absurdly beautiful.

"What an eye-opener!"

Elder Snake Lance was also stunned. He had never expected such secret knowledge to exist.

This was Xue Qinghe's first time hearing such a secret as well.

Of course, she could only hear such secrets from Grandpa Guang Ling.

The other elders kept their mouths tightly shut.

She did not know whether they knew about it.

In any case, Grandpa should know.

"Hum..."

Suddenly, the Heavenly Ranking let out another resonant hum of the Great Dao.

Golden light shot into the sky as the information for twelfth place vanished.

Golden words for eleventh place gradually emerged.

The entire world fell silent once more.

Everyone looked toward the Heavenly Ranking.

They were all curious which beauty would claim eleventh place.

And what reward she would receive.

They waited in anticipation and curiosity.

Xue Qinghe and the others all looked up at the Heavenly Ranking.

[Beauty Ranking, Eleventh Place: Ah Yin]

[Affiliation: Qingyun Academy]

[Appearance: 96.9]

[Evaluation: Ah Yin was once a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor soul beast. After her sacrifice, she lost her physical body, Soul Power, and memories, becoming a seed. The headmaster of Qingyun Academy obtained her, planted her in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and nurtured her with Spirit Liquid. She is now a fifteen-thousand-year soul beast.

She possesses a noble and elegant temperament that complements her exquisitely beautiful, unearthly face. Her azure eyes are as flawless as blue crystals. A faint fragrance radiates from her body and wafts through the air, giving people a vibrant and beautiful feeling, like a flower fairy.

She gathers the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth within herself. Her beauty is suffocating.

Her unwavering love unto death and kind heart earned her additional points.

Therefore, she may enter the ranking.]

[Reward: She may transform into an eighteen-year-old human, a level sixty-two Soul Emperor. All Soul Rings will have the optimal Soul Ring configuration, all Soul Ring ages will increase by three thousand years, charm +6, life aura +10, and she will receive one Fixed-Face Pill.]

"This... A soul beast really made the ranking. Such a miraculous thing actually exists! What a pity, though. She is no longer a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Xue Qinghe stared wide-eyed at the information on the Heavenly Ranking, feeling that it was utterly unbelievable.

"Ah Yin was once a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Wasn't she Tang Hao's wife?"

Elder Snake Lance stared at the Heavenly Ranking, his eyes nearly popping from their sockets. "Back then, Xue'er's father sought a Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring for his wife, so he hunted Tang Hao's wife, Ah Yin."

"I have heard of this matter, but I never knew the details."

Xue Qinghe spoke curiously upon hearing that.

"Back then, for some reason, Tang Hao wandered around everywhere with Ah Yin, who had been pregnant for ten months.

Did he not know that Ah Yin's aura would become unstable during pregnancy? That a Title Douluo could sense the aura of his wife, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Elder Ghost happened to pass near Tang Hao and Ah Yin and sensed Ah Yin's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast aura.

He notified the previous Pope, who immediately led four elders and two thousand knights to surround and kill Tang Hao!"

"But Tang Hao was only level ninety at the time and did not have his ninth Soul Ring. Despite the overwhelming disparity in strength, Tang Hao actually broke through the encirclement, killed an elder, and charged into the distance.

Even with Elder Ghost and Elder Ju pursuing him,

he still managed to escape."

"His luck was too good.

Ah Yin even gave birth during the process. It was rather ridiculous.

In the end, Tang Hao was finally immobilized by Elder Ghost and Elder Ju's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The previous Pope made a move.

At the moment of life and death, Ah Yin sacrificed herself.

She gave Tang Hao a Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

She made him a Title Douluo.

He then defeated Elder Ghost and Elder Ju, while heavily injuring the previous Pope.

Not long after the previous Pope returned..."

In the end, Elder Snake Lance did not continue.

"This..."

Xue Qinghe stood there in a daze for several seconds. She had never expected the matter to be this absurd.

It simply left her speechless.

Only after a while did she recover.

However, Ah Yin no longer had her former memories, physical body, or Soul Power. It was practically a rebirth.

So she held no grudge against her.

But she did hold a grudge against Tang Hao.

Damn Tang Hao.

Shrek Academy.

Tang Hao, wearing a cloak, stared fixedly at the Heavenly Ranking, his eyes nearly popping out.

"Ah... Ah Yin, you... Lu Xia actually stole you away?"

At that thought, Tang Hao's eyes nearly split apart. Like a bomb about to explode, he shot fiercely toward Holy Soul Village.

"Boom..."

Soul Power exploded with a loud bang.

Tang San and the others immediately withdrew their gazes and looked toward the source of the explosion not far away. They saw only a black shadow flash past, unable to make out what it was at all.

"Damn Lu Xia, damn Qingyun Academy! You fucking want to die!!!"

Blood vessels spread through Tang Hao's eyes as he gritted his teeth, Soul Power surging wildly.

If anyone saw Tang Hao at that moment, they would surely be frightened senseless. His expression was incomparably savage.

"I never expected Xiao San's parents to have gone through such an experience!"

Yu Xiaogang sighed as he looked at the Heavenly Ranking's information. He had heard back then that Tang Hao had injured the previous Pope, but he had not known the details. It seemed Xiao San's mother had sacrificed herself in that battle.

He had never expected Xiao San's mother to be a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

No wonder the previous Pope had led troops to besiege Tang Hao.
