Chen Xin had no confidence in defeating that young man.
That little fellow was only nineteen years old, yet unfathomable.
Even he could not gauge his true strength.
"I previously wanted to secretly visit Rongrong. When I got near Qingyun Academy, I simply couldn't find it.
It felt like Qingyun Academy was clearly nearby, yet I could never locate it.
It was as though some invisible, mysterious force had concealed it, as if it had vanished into thin air.
Even the magnetic field formed by Soul Power couldn't detect it!"
Gu Rong, dressed in blue clothes that appeared loose due to his large frame, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Lu Xia's methods are heaven-defying!"
Chen Xin had not expected that old immortal Gu Rong had secretly gone looking for Rongrong.
How infuriating.
He had not even invited him along.
"That young man truly is a monstrous genius.
His strength is also extraordinarily formidable!
I previously wanted to spar with Lu Xia.
To test his strength.
But I couldn't find the young man!!"
Gu Rong knew there were many young geniuses on Douluo Continent, but the only one who made Super Douluos wary was Lu Xia:
"Moreover, the Spells and Daoist Arts Lu Xia knows are immensely powerful.
To this day, we still don't know what his Martial Soul is!"
"Headmaster Lu Xia is inscrutable!
A peerless genius without equal!
However, Sword Uncle, Bone Uncle, you've gone off topic.
We were discussing the Beauty Ranking."
Ning Fengzhi smiled as he reminded the two elders.
Ning Fengzhi had met Lu Xia once before.
The young man was as refined as jade, with an exceptional temperament.
A faint smile always rested on his face.
He radiated an overwhelming sense of warmth.
His charm was boundless.
Even Sword Uncle, with his ninety-sixth-level strength, had failed to force out his Martial Soul.
Ning Fengzhi was astonished, yet also felt fortunate that Rongrong had encountered such an unparalleled figure.
"The last time Rongrong returned was two months ago.
Her Martial Soul advanced into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
She improved incredibly quickly.
And she had grown up quite a bit too.
She was now a grown young lady!
Her skin, face, and figure had all developed considerably.
I don't dare hope for the top five. Top ten will do!"
"Fengzhi really is modest!
By the way, the Beauty Ranking never said those of peerless beauty had to be women!
That Lu Xia...
His looks...
Using the new word Rongrong taught us,
He looks so damn awesome!
Even women would feel inferior before him!
Could he make the list too?"
The moment Chen Xin thought of Lu Xia's peerless looks, he was rendered speechless.
"Sword Uncle... the words you've learned are truly sharp and vicious... It's possible!"
Ning Fengzhi agreed with Chen Xin's assessment.
"Then perhaps we'll learn Lu Xia's Martial Soul? His level?"
Gu Rong had always wanted to know the Martial Soul and Soul Power Level of Qingyun Academy's headmaster.
Not knowing naturally left him itching with curiosity.
Especially after Chen Xin had been burned into a miserable state by Lu Xia's Fireball Technique, his white robes riddled with holes.
As Chen Xin's lifelong rival, Gu Rong became even more curious about Lu Xia.
"Perhaps, just as we suspected, level ninety-eight or ninety-nine!"
Although Chen Xin's voice was not loud, it exploded in Ning Fengzhi's and Gu Rong's ears, hearts, and minds.
Like a nuclear bomb.
Its power was boundless.
Sunset Forest.
Near the volcanic crater.
Dugu Bo, dressed in a black-green robe, lay on a wooden recliner in the herb garden, gazing up at the Heavenly Ranking in the sky as the fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted around him.
The words on the Heavenly Ranking imprinted themselves in his mind one by one.
"The Beauty Ranking! How miraculous! How interesting! I wonder whether Yan'er can make the list!"
The last time Dugu Bo had seen Dugu Yan was a month ago.
Yan'er had been at Qingyun Academy for two years.
Over those two years, Yan'er had changed greatly. Her Soul Power had risen rapidly, and she had grown up considerably. She had become graceful and poised.
Her figure, skin, facial features, and temperament were all first-rate.
She could be counted among great beauties.
Fortunately, he had been unable to stop Lu Xia from taking Yan'er away two years ago.
Otherwise, the snake poison of their Dugu Family truly could not have been cured.
Lu Xia was the benefactor of their Dugu Family.
Once the snake poison in Yan'er's body had been removed,
she naturally became healthier and more beautiful.
She developed even better as well.
Moreover, she had consumed Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This caused her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul to evolve into a Jade Phosphorous Python.
Its rank was higher, its power stronger, and its venom fiercer.
He had also consumed Immortal Herbs, but his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul had not evolved.
Perhaps it was because of his age.
Of course, Lu Xia had directly moved away the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Now, only a puddle remained there.
All the Immortal Herbs within had also been moved to Qingyun Academy.
Not only was Lu Xia incomparably handsome, his methods were heaven-defying and his strength defied all reason.
He was the person Dugu Bo admired most in his life, and the one whose limits he most wanted to know.
Of course, he had seen that those who made the list would receive rewards.
If Yan'er's Martial Soul evolved again, could her python transform into a dragon?
Could it become a top-tier beast Martial Soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?
Then Yan'er would bring glory to her ancestors.
Sea God Island stood amid the sea, an endless expanse of blue as dreamy as sapphire.
Within Sea God Hall.
High Priestess Bo Saixi wore a red dress, her blue hair cascading behind her voluptuous hips. Her beauty came from her temperament—noble, elegant, gentle, and warm.
She quietly gazed at the Heavenly Ranking in the sky, her expression solemn.
The Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island stood before her. They were all Title Douluos, and they too stared at the Heavenly Ranking above.
Every one of them looked solemn and confused.
"Reporting to the High Priestess, the power emitted by the Heavenly Ranking is somewhat similar to the divine power emitted by Lord Sea God. Could this also be the work of a god?"
Sea Horse Douluo asked with curiosity and reverence.
"This..."
Bo Saixi wanted to say that it was even more powerful than the Sea God's divine power, but that would be disrespectful toward the Sea God, leaving her speechless for a moment.
"Lord Sea God's divine power is boundless and unmatched. He is invincible upon the sea... Yet this Heavenly Ranking seems to cover the entire continent... It seems to be the work of a god who controls space... Such an existence is terrifying beyond measure!"
"The High Priestess is right. With the High Priestess's temperament, nobility, elegance, and beauty comparable to a goddess, she can absolutely take first place and receive an invaluable reward!"
In Hailong Douluo's heart, the High Priestess was the most beautiful woman on Sea God Island, and naturally the most beautiful on Douluo Continent as well:
"After all, with the High Priestess's charm, strength, and beauty, even the strongest in the sky and the strongest on land, the two Peerless Douluos, were captivated beyond reason. That alone shows how invincible the High Priestess's beauty is. If the High Priestess takes second place, who would dare take first?"
When Bo Saixi heard mention of the strongest in the sky and the strongest on land, her gaze drifted into the distance, and great waves stirred within her heart.
She recalled her encounters with Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.
Around the year 2600 of the Douluo Calendar,
Spirit Hall dispatched two thousand Soul Masters to subdue the Soul Masters of Sea God Island. In the end, Spirit Hall returned in defeat after being stopped by Bo Saixi, who was invincible at sea. Fewer than a hundred survived the return journey, and two Title Douluos had fallen there as well.
Thus, Qian Daoliu invited Tang Chen to visit Sea God Island with him, where they encountered Bo Saixi.
The three battled for three days and three nights, causing mountains to collapse and tsunamis to rise. In the end, Bo Saixi relied on the advantage of the terrain to defeat Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen separately.
At that time, Tang Chen's and Qian Daoliu's wives had already passed away, and both men had pursued Bo Saixi.
That period was unforgettable for Bo Saixi, and also the most deeply etched in her heart.
She rejected Qian Daoliu, who could not become a god, by saying she would accept the feelings of whoever reached level one hundred first.
Secretly, she conveyed her affection to Tang Chen, who had the greatest hope of becoming a god through his own power.
Unfortunately, Tang Chen failed to understand what she meant.
Taking her words at face value, he left Sea God Island after saying, "If I do not become a god, I will not return."
Tang Chen truly was an unbelievably dense man.
Thinking of this, she shook her head.
At her age, whether she made the Beauty Ranking or not seemed irrelevant.
As for the rewards, could there truly be any treasure that interested a Peerless Douluo?
At her realm and status, very few treasures could catch her eye.
