Sixth Place on the Ranking

Qingyun Academy.

Everyone looked toward the Heavenly Ranking.

Zhu Zhuqing's name and portrait appeared on the Heavenly Ranking.

This excited everyone else.

Ning Rongrong jumped up, delighted for Zhu Zhuqing. "Wow, Zhuqing made the ranking! Seventh place!"

She rushed straight over to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing also stared at her own name and portrait on the Heavenly Ranking, stunned for several seconds. She had never expected to make the ranking too.

Her Martial Soul had evolved after she consumed an Immortal Herb and Spirit Liquid, becoming the Nether Cat Emperor.

She had also gained the "Nether" domain, a domain that inspired fear and suppressed enemies.

She had not expected to gain another Nether Spirit Shadow Domain now. This should be a domain capable of creating many phantom copies of herself, right?

If she could instantly deploy both domains at once, that would be incredible.

One suppressed enemies and filled them with fear, while the other created countless copies of herself so her enemies could not find her true body.

She would hold an absolute advantage against any enemy.

Just thinking about it felt amazing.

"Buzz..."

A beam of golden light descended from the Heavenly Ranking.

It enveloped Zhu Zhuqing.

Having seen others enveloped by golden light before, Zhu Zhuqing found it warm.

She did not resist it at all.

Instead, she allowed the golden light to envelop her.

Warmth spread through her entire body, while her Soul Power rapidly surged.

Her Soul Power Level soared from level fifty-three to level fifty-seven.

This feeling was truly exhilarating.

Then, Soul Rings slowly rose beneath her feet.

Every Soul Ring changed color.

Her first and second Soul Rings both turned purple.

The black of her third, fourth, and fifth Soul Rings became even deeper.

The age of every one of her Soul Rings increased by five thousand five hundred years.

Her Soul Power continued to soar.

It rose from level fifty-seven to level sixty.

Another three consecutive levels.

Including the previous four-level increase, she had risen seven levels in total.

The sensation was like flying, thrilling beyond measure.

Zhu Zhuqing nearly screamed.

Her entire body felt wonderful, while her aura and charm also changed.

Moreover, she sensed that she had suddenly comprehended a domain.

"Buzz..."

With an instinctive thought, the domain instantly blossomed.

The surroundings immediately fell into darkness.

The darkness enveloped an area three hundred meters wide.

Her body was swallowed by the darkness, while graceful black figures appeared all around, flickering within the domain.

Ning Rongrong and the others discovered that they could no longer see where Zhu Zhuqing's true body was.

The feeling was far too strange.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Black shadows flickered.

Even Dugu Yan could not see where Zhu Zhuqing's true body was. Zhu Zhuqing's domain was truly high-level.

"Buzz..." Zhu Zhuqing quickly withdrew her domain.

She came before Headmaster Lu Xia.

"Thank you, Headmaster! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to become seventh on the Beauty Ranking!"

She cupped her hands and bowed to Lu Xia, appearing extremely sincere and respectful.

"Get up. There is no need for such formality."

Lu Xia reached out and helped Zhu Zhuqing up, a faint smile on his face, carrying both appreciation and gratification.

"Making the ranking is your own accomplishment."

Zhu Zhuqing stood up and felt how warm and broad Headmaster Lu Xia's hand was.

She thought back to two years ago, when she had left home alone.

At that time, she had been lost and helpless.

She wandered without purpose.

She did not know where she was going.

She did not know what her future would be like.

Back then, she had suddenly seen Headmaster Lu Xia fishing beside a stream.

At first sight, she had been awestruck by his figure and drawn in by his profile. That flawless side profile was so handsome.

It was as though light shone from him.

She had stared at him deeply, unable to help stopping to look a few more times.

Moreover, the headmaster had been grilling fish while fishing.

The fragrance of the fish made her swallow involuntarily despite herself, and she touched the stomach that had begun growling from hunger during her journey.

Headmaster Lu Xia had turned his head and looked over.

"Hungry? Come eat some fish with me! I caught too many anyway!"

"Really?"

Zhu Zhuqing had also been amazed upon hearing Headmaster Lu Xia's voice. It was exceptionally pleasant, leaving her entranced.

"It's free and poison-free!"

A faint smile rested on Headmaster Lu Xia's face as he spoke casually, yet she still took a deep breath, feeling that this handsome young man seemed untouched by mortal dust, like a god from heaven.

She carefully walked over and took out a silver needle to test it. Only after confirming there was no poison did she awkwardly begin eating the fish.

The fish was delicious, truly delicious—crispy on the outside, tender within, and fragrant beyond compare.

It was simply the best fish she had ever eaten.

She had always loved eating fish. Perhaps it was because of the influence of her Martial Soul.

Like a little cat, she crouched nearby and silently ate.

Meanwhile, Headmaster Lu Xia occasionally fished, occasionally drizzled sauce over the fish, and occasionally ate a little himself.

That was how she gradually became familiar with Headmaster Lu Xia, and later came to Qingyun Academy.

She felt that Lu Xia's beauty could also earn him a place on the ranking. Even if he could not take first place, he should at least be second or third.

The others gathered before Zhu Zhuqing one after another to congratulate her.

"Congratulations, Zhuqing!"

"Zhuqing, you're so beautiful!"

"Thank you..."

"Thank you..."

Zhu Zhuqing thanked them.

Soon, the Heavenly Ranking changed again.

The Sound of the Great Dao hummed.

The large characters concerning Zhu Zhuqing slowly faded away.

New bold and powerful characters emerged.

Everyone looked up.

"Will this be another tie for seventh place, or sixth place?"

Dugu Yan curiously looked up at the Heavenly Ranking.

Ye Lingling watched quietly.

"Mm! It should be sixth place, right?" Zhu Zhuqing said after thinking for a moment.

"Maybe. Could it be the headmaster?" Shui Bing'er asked curiously.

"Not sure!"

[Beauty Ranking, Sixth Place, Bo Saixi]

[Affiliation: Sea God Island]

[Beauty Score: 98.1]

[Evaluation: Bo Saixi, High Priestess of Sea God Island. She was tall and slender, her entire body enveloped in a scarlet robe. Her sea-blue hair cascaded down her back, nearly reaching the ground.

Her soft and beautiful face was exceptionally captivating.

Her beauty came from her bearing—noble, elegant, and gently warm. Even Pope Bibi Dong fell somewhat short of her in terms of aura.

Her eyes were clear blue, deeper than the sea itself.

Her beauty never grew tiresome, no matter how often one looked at her.

Her features were flawless.

Therefore, she deserved a place on the ranking.]

"Bo Saixi? The High Priestess of Sea God Island?"

"Isn't she the legendary Limit Douluo?"

"Wow, who would have thought someone like her, over a hundred and twenty years old, could make the ranking too?"

"This..."

An uproar like crashing mountains and roaring seas swept across Douluo Continent.

No one had expected Bo Saixi to make the ranking as well.

And she was even ranked sixth.

It was shocking and unexpected, though naturally, some felt she fully deserved it.

After all, Bo Saixi's beauty had already reached an unimaginable level.

After all, some people knew that Bo Saixi possessed the strength of a Demigod.

Spirit Hall, Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu was not particularly interested in those young people making the ranking.

But when his old acquaintance Bo Saixi appeared on the ranking, he immediately looked toward the Heavenly Ranking with curiosity.

Beside the golden characters was Bo Saixi's portrait.

Qian Daoliu stared blankly. Decades had passed,

yet she had barely changed.

She was still as beautiful as ever.
