Ultimate Attributes, Rankings Shift Again

"Why is this guy here again?!" Huo Wu said impatiently, turning to leave. It was getting late anyway, and she needed to go home. Feng Xiaotian had been especially annoying lately, constantly pestering her.

"Huo Wu... why did you run off?!"

Feng Xiaotian chased after her, his face utterly lovestruck.

Sea God Island, High Priestess Hall.

"Another student from Qingyun Academy, and she received an Attribute Enhancement Pill. For a top-tier Martial Soul, this reward is absolutely something one can only hope to encounter by chance!"

Even Bo Saixi was somewhat envious of Shui Bing'er for making the ranking.

If she received an Attribute Enhancement Pill, what would her water attribute evolve into?

It would surely become unimaginably powerful.

She was already looking forward to the rankings that followed.

"With the High Priestess's beauty... she'll definitely make the rankings. She might even reach the top five!"

The female secretary beside Bo Saixi pushed up her glasses and spoke confidently, fully confident in the High Priestess's beauty.

"Yes, I hope there will be a reward I want!"

What Bo Saixi wanted was to advance by one level.

If she could truly rise by one level, then...

Bo Saixi had dreamed of it countless times. Though she had agreed to become the Sea God's High Priestess,

she never stopped thinking about how to break through and raise her Soul Power Level.

She did not want to wait on Sea God Island for death. If there was even a sliver of hope, she wanted to seize it.

Otherwise, her entire life would be bleak.

Sea and sky blended into one, waves rolling in after wave. Her heart, which had been calm for so long, now rose and fell along with the tides.

This feeling was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Was this the fluttering excitement of hope, the yearning born from even a trace of it?

"What is the High Priestess thinking about...?"

The female secretary stopped halfway through her sentence.

She suddenly recalled the High Priestess's state of mind in the past. The High Priestess must be thinking of becoming a god, or reaching Level 100.

Then, could this Sea God Godhood possibly be hers directly?

She would not need to become a sacrifice.

Having stayed by the High Priestess's side all these years, she knew the bitterness in the High Priestess's heart.

Qingyun Academy.

Everyone gazed up at the Heavenly Ranking.

"Bing'er made the ranking!"

Zhu Zhuqing had barely spoken

when Ning Rongrong's shriek drowned her out.

"Wow... Bing'er is eighth on the Beauty Ranking! I'm so jealous! So envious! I hate it!"

She was so excited that she jumped up.

"But congratulations to Bing'er!"

"Congratulations!"

"Beautiful!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er looked toward the Heavenly Ranking and took a deep breath. A breathtaking smile bloomed on her cool, delicate face like a flower in blossom.

It made people instinctively like her. "Thank you, everyone! I never thought I'd rank eighth! I'm so lucky!"

"You totally deserved it!" Ning Rongrong said.

"Rongrong, that's not the right wording. You should say..." Shentu Ziye was speechless.

"Fine! You should say that!" Ning Rongrong laughed awkwardly and stuck out her tongue at Shentu Ziye.

At last, Shui Bing'er looked toward Lu Xia, who stood nearby drinking tea with a faint smile on his strikingly handsome face.

"Not bad!"

Lu Xia raised his thumb in approval.

This was the greatest affirmation Shui Bing'er could receive.

Shui Bing'er was overjoyed to receive Lu Xia's praise.

"Eighth place! This reward is insanely good! Bing'er's ice attribute was already incredibly strong, and now it's evolving!"

Cheng Yaojin exclaimed, "It'll either become the highest-grade ice attribute or Ultimate Ice! Shentu Ziye, are you secretly laughing?"

"I'm not! Even if I laugh, I'll laugh openly! I'm openly happy for Bing'er!"

Shentu Ziye said helplessly, "This reward is indeed amazing! I'm very satisfied!"

"What the hell are you satisfied about..." Cheng Yaojin said speechlessly.

Then golden runes began to swirl around the Heavenly Ranking.

Golden light blazed.

A beam of golden light shot down from the Heavenly Ranking.

Boom...

The pillar of golden light instantly enveloped Shui Bing'er.

Everyone else hurriedly retreated.

Shui Bing'er felt the warmth of the golden light. It was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.

Every cell in her body absorbed the energy.

That energy caused her Soul Power to surge wildly.

Soon, her Soul Power Level rose from Level 55 to Level 58.

Her Soul Rings also emerged from beneath her feet.

Two yellow, one purple, and two black.

The two black ones were obtained when Dean Lu Xia had taken her to hunt Soul Beasts before.

When she had reached Level 40, Dean Lu Xia asked her what Soul Beast she wanted to hunt.

And it was to be a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

It had left her dumbfounded.

However, after consuming Immortal Herbs and Spirit Liquid, she discovered that her physical strength and spiritual power had both increased ten thousandfold.

That was also why she could attach a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as her fourth ring.

Everything Dean Lu Xia did was for her sake.

He made her stronger.

His methods were extraordinarily ingenious and unheard of, completely overturning her understanding.

She felt that much of the common knowledge about Soul Beasts and Soul Rings on Douluo Continent simply did not apply to Dean Lu Xia.

His methods were practically miraculous.

Buzz...

Under the golden light, Shui Bing'er's Soul Rings began changing color.

Her first and second Soul Rings both turned deep purple.

Her third Soul Ring turned black.

The colors of her fourth and fifth Soul Rings became even darker.

Her Soul Power continued to soar, climbing from Level 58 to Level 60.

Once she reached Level 60, she would need to hunt a Soul Beast and acquire a Soul Ring before she could continue leveling up.

Rising so many levels in a row felt incredible.

No wonder Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others had looked so intoxicated and comfortable before.

She could also feel her charm and temperament improving.

"Wow... Bing'er has become even prettier!"

"Yes, the improvement in her charm and temperament has made her even more captivating!"

"She's absolutely gorgeous!"

Several beautiful young women praised Shui Bing'er.

Their praise made Shui Bing'er's face flush slightly.

The golden light continued to envelop Shui Bing'er.

Golden runes formed before her, becoming increasingly dazzling.

At last, they formed a pill that floated before her.

She reached out, and the pill fell into her slender white hand.

Gulp...

She examined it carefully for a few moments, then opened her mouth and placed the pill inside.

Without any hesitation.

Once the pill entered her stomach, it transformed into energy and surged through her limbs and bones.

Ice-blue energy enveloped Shui Bing'er's entire body.

The golden light from the Heavenly Ranking had long since vanished.

Buzz... Ice-blue energy carrying extreme cold swept outward in all directions.

A thick layer of frost spread across the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing and the others could not help retreating again. Some even had a layer of frost form over their hair.

Others pulled their clothes tighter, feeling the bitter cold.

Buzz...

The waves of ice-blue energy grew stronger and stronger.

Crack... In an instant, the surrounding temperature dropped to a terrifying level.

Lu Xia waved his hand, and golden energy instantly formed a barrier around Shui Bing'er.

It prevented her ice energy from reaching the others.

"Wow... is Shui Bing'er's ice attribute evolving into Ultimate Ice?"

Ah Yin cried out in surprise.

"Interesting!" Wang Xia'er's Martial Soul possessed Ultimate Strength.

She had not expected to encounter a student here who possessed Ultimate Ice.

It truly was incredibly interesting.

Before long, the enormous golden barrier was completely frozen over.

Yet Shui Bing'er moved freely through the ice like an ice fairy descending into the mortal world. It was simply astonishing.

Ning Rongrong and the others all cried out in surprise.

"Wow... so beautiful!"

"So cold!"

"So ethereal!"

Buzz...

The Heavenly Ranking changed once again.
