Chapter 365: The Rise of the Younger Generation, Qianjun, Jiangmo, and Their Rising Rankings
The Fire Leopard Sect's exam participant, although not explicitly saying anything too bluntly, clearly implied to others that Su Yuntao wasn't very capable. If it weren't for Leafwen's secret cultivation, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is now.
However, many people knew that Su Yuntao was probably the one who had worked the hardest among all the participants.
At this moment, a Soul Master from the Spirit Hall stepped forward and defended Su Yuntao: "Heh, Su Yuntao is indeed receiving special care from Lord Beast God, but he works harder than any of us! While we are resting, he is diligently training. When we feel tired, he is still pushing forward!"
"If he weren't so hard-working, do you think, with just a spiritual herb from Lord Beast God, he could have grown so quickly and made it to the top 500?"
"Heh! Don't attribute someone's success solely to special treatment!" The Soul Master from the Spirit Hall retorted unceremoniously.
"You... Why are you so agitated? I wasn't talking about you, tsk," the Fire Leopard Sect Soul Master muttered under his breath, but he immediately stopped his sarcastic remarks when he saw the response, not daring to continue.
Apart from Su Yuntao's remarkable progress, over the course of nearly four years, many young talents had gradually emerged and were on the verge of surpassing the older generation of strong warriors, climbing toward the peak.
The powerful up-and-coming generation began to chase the peak!
Among the younger generation, the most outstanding ones were undoubtedly the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall: Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and Feng Xiaotian from the Divine Wind Academy. All four had entered the top 100!
Behind them were the four from Spirit Hall, alongside Oscar, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Shui Yue'er, Meng Yiran, Bai Chenxiang, and others.
Soon, half a month passed.
The four-year assessment period had come to an end, and the 1,001 participants had collectively completed the Beast God's fourth assessment.
"Congratulations to all of you. Exactly four years have passed today, and all of you 1,001 exam participants have completed the fourth assessment. As I mentioned before, after completing all the assessments, for those who perform exceptionally, I will consider promoting your assessment rank."
"Now, I will call out the names of those who will be promoted. From the initial rank of Beast God's fourth assessment, you will now be promoted to the corresponding level of Beast God's fifth assessment, equivalent to a level 3 deity."
"Wang Tao! Xu Yunlong! Chu Baiyi!"
Leafwen began calling out names. In the end, about one-third of those initially given the Beast God's fourth assessment rank were promoted to Beast God's fifth assessment.
"For those whose names were not called, I don't need to say more. Your assessment rank remains the same at the Beast God's fourth assessment. All of your assessments are now complete, but you still need to continue cultivating in the Beast God's space and participate in the annual 1v1 personal elimination tournament."
"Until you break through to level 99 and become a deity!"
"However, I will give each of you two months off from the Beast God's space every year."
Although these individuals had completed all assessments, they were still far from level 99. Only within the Beast God's space could they grow rapidly.
Leafwen wasn't doing charity. He wanted them to ascend to godhood in seven years and help defend the Beast God's realm when the human god realm attacks.
So, Leafwen wouldn't let them drag their feet in reaching level 99.
However, hearing that Leafwen would give them two months off per year was enough to satisfy them. They were all willing to stay for the fast-paced cultivation in the Beast God's space, but also wanted to visit their families. Two months off each year was perfect.
"Now, everyone, continue with your assessments."
"Yes! Lord Beast God!"
As of now, the lowest-ranked participant among the 1,001 exam candidates had reached near-peak Soul Saint level.
Meanwhile, there had been considerable changes in the top 100 battle power rankings.
First place was still Qian Daoliu, at peak level 99.
Second place was Sword Douluo, at peak level 99.
Leafwen had known from the battle between Qian Daoliu and Sword Douluo two years ago, when Sword Douluo reached the unity of man and sword, that his battle power would surpass Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qing Luan Douluo.
Now, Sword Douluo had surpassed both Golden Crocodile and Qing Luan, becoming the second strongest in the Beast God's space!
Third place was Golden Crocodile Douluo, at peak level 99.
Fourth place was Jiangmo Douluo, at peak level 99.
Jiangmo Douluo had made a successful comeback.
From being one of the seven elders of the Spirit Hall, he had risen to fourth in the battle power rankings, surpassing the fourth elder, Lion Douluo, and even defeating Qing Luan Douluo, the third elder!
Fifth place was Qing Luan Douluo, at peak level 99.
Sixth place was Qianjun Douluo, at peak level 99.
Qianjun and Jiangmo, these two brothers, were extremely strong. When they reached level 99, the dragon sealed within the Panlong Stick Martial Soul raised their Martial Soul strength even further.
Qianjun was almost equal in strength to Qing Luan Douluo, though slightly weaker than his younger brother, Jiangmo Douluo.
In any case, Leafwen was pleasantly surprised by these two brothers. They had always been among his key focus. Their teamwork and Martial Soul compatibility were incredibly strong.
Together, their combat power was formidable. They also mastered a powerful Martial Soul fusion technique.
If these two brothers became level 1 deities, they could potentially fight even a God King for a few rounds!
Seventh place was Lion Douluo, at peak level 99.
Eighth place was Bone Douluo, at peak level 99.
Ninth place was Guang Ling Douluo, at peak level 99.
Tenth place was Angel Legion's leader, at peak level 98.
Eleventh place was Qing Yuan Douluo, at peak level 99.
Twelfth place was Poison Douluo, at peak level 99.
Thirteenth place was Golden Turtle Douluo, at level 99.
Fourteenth place was Magic Knife Douluo, at level 99. (One of the four ordinary Title Douluo elders of the Spirit Hall.)
Fifteenth place was Snake Spear Douluo, at level 99.
Sixteenth place was Tuoba Xi, Holy Dragon Douluo, at level 99.
The number of Title Douluos at level 99 had reached 15!
"Not bad, the leader of the Angel Legion, with his peak soul power of 98, has managed to surpass six 99th-level Title Douluos, including Tuoba Xi, Snake Spear, Magic Knife, Golden Turtle, Poison Douluo, and Qing Yuan, entering the top ten!"
"Truly worthy of the Six-Winged Angel, a mutated Angel Martial Soul! Although this Angel Martial Soul is just a top-tier Martial Soul, after breaking through to Title Douluo, it has gained part of the Six-Winged Angel's characteristics and abilities." Leafwen silently nodded, thinking this person might also be qualified to become a level 1 deity.
He was certainly in Leafwen's considerations.
