Chapter 54 The Madman Dai Mubai.
Everyone present watched with bated breath.
Dugu Yan's eyes revealed envy.
Although she was also a Soul King, she only possessed a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Zhu Zhuqing's fourth and fifth soul rings, however, started at ten thousand years!
The black of the soul rings deepened, representing the continuously increasing age.
Ten thousand years, fifteen thousand years, twenty thousand years…
Zhu Zhuqing's body began to tremble slightly, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
Clearly, she was approaching the limit her body could currently withstand.
Finally, when the age of the soul rings reached approximately twenty-five thousand years, the brilliant golden light slowly subsided.
A profound black soul ring floated steadily beneath Zhu Zhuqing's feet.
It complemented her original four soul rings, radiating powerful soul energy fluctuations.
"Congratulations, Zhuqing!"
Ning Rongrong was the first to cheer and run over.
"A twenty-five-thousand-year fifth soul ring… amazing!"
Dugu Yan also sincerely praised.
There was no jealousy in her eyes, only joy at her companion's growing stronger.
Although quiet, Ye Lingling gave Zhu Zhuqing a faint, encouraging smile.
Zhu Zhuqing felt the surging power within her, the right leg soul bone that brought her extreme speed, and the fifth soul ring that far exceeded the limits of ordinary Soul Kings.
Her usually aloof face finally couldn't help but show a hint of excitement and joy.
She took a deep breath and solemnly bowed to her companions and teachers.
In contrast to the joy and excitement of Beidou Academy, the atmosphere inside the Spirit Hall's Papal Palace was almost frozen.
Bibi Dong sat on the Papal Throne, looking at the name "Zhu Zhuqing" on the sky, and the affiliation of "Beidou Academy," as well as the soul power level of "level 50" and the ranking of "eighth place."
Her heart was in turmoil.
She recognized the surname and the spirit. "Zhu," the Netherworld Cat, the inherited spirit of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire. This family had been intermarrying with the Dai family for generations, jointly ruling the Star Luo Empire.
This Zhu Zhuqing must be related to the Star Luo royal family!
But this kind of spirit was definitely not among the top-tier spirits; it was more of an appendage and complement to the Evil-Eyed White Tiger.
Yet, this very girl had actually broken through to the Soul King realm.
Moreover, in Tianmu's evaluation, her talent even surpassed that of the Golden Generation she had carefully cultivated!
How could Bibi Dong remain calm?
"Beidou Academy... it's Beidou Academy again!"
The sense of crisis in Bibi Dong's heart grew stronger and stronger.
This suddenly appearing academy first had possessors of top-tier spirits like Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.
Now, there was another unconventional Zhu Zhuqing.
Just how many unknown geniuses and powerful figures were they hiding?
And when she saw the reward of the "God-Given Soul Ring," her pupils shrank even more sharply.
She was undergoing the Rakshasa God Trial!
Naturally, she knew exactly what a divinely bestowed soul ring was!
It was a divine gift that even she longed for but could hardly obtain!
This genius ranking actually offered something like that as a reward?
"If…if I could achieve a ranking on the subsequent power rankings, would I also receive a divinely bestowed soul ring?"
A thought frantically grew in her mind.
"If I could obtain several, my second martial soul…"
She seemed to see her second martial soul imbued with an additional 100,000-year divinely bestowed soul ring.
What immense power that would be!
But then, a deeper sense of unease welled up within her.
Such a precious divinely bestowed soul ring was awarded to Zhu Zhuqing, a girl whose martial soul wasn't even among the top tier?
This further proved that this girl must possess extraordinary abilities.
This ranking isn't just based on martial spirit and level; it considers a combination of factors, including temperament, perseverance, and breakthrough rate.
The Hall of Offerings.
"It seems that Beidou Academy possesses more geniuses and secrets than I imagined..."
Qian Daoliu sighed inwardly as he looked at the ranking.
A strong sense of crisis urged him to speed up his pace.
His eyes sharpened, and he made a decision: "It seems it's time to summon Xue'er back from the Heaven Dou Empire. The plan must be accelerated."
"Only by ensuring Xue'er completes the Angel God Trial as soon as possible and achieves godhood can we deal with any unforeseen changes and ensure the unshakeable position of my Spirit Hall!"
Shrek Academy.
Dai Mubai stared intently at the name "Zhu Zhuqing" on the sky.
He was struck dumb, frozen in place.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and a near-collapse of disorientation.
"No...impossible...how could it be her?"
He murmured, his voice hoarse.
He knew that name all too well; it was his fiancée, whom he had never met yet was betrothed to!
Back then, it was fear of his family's rules and uncertainty about the future that led him to run away. He came alone to Shrek Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire.
In his memory, Zhu Zhuqing should still be in the Star Luo Empire, struggling under those cruel rules.
Her strength should never surpass his.
But… what was the reality before him?
Zhu Zhuqing, a few years younger than him, had actually broken through to the Soul King realm.
She had even climbed to eighth place on the Genius Ranking!
She had obtained a divinely bestowed Soul Ring and a 50,000-year Soul Bone!
And what about him? He hadn't even broken through to the Soul Master realm!
This immense sense of disparity was like a heavy hammer, shattering his self-comforting pride and excuses for escaping reality.
Intense regret, resentment, shame, and an indescribable fear instantly overwhelmed him.
Looking at his slightly trembling hands, he realized for the first time with unparalleled clarity that his fiancée, whom he had once chosen to abandon, had left him far behind at an unimaginable speed.
"Zhu Qing…" he growled, his eyes bloodshot, the intense stimulation nearly causing him to lose control.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun and Oscar rushed forward to hold him down.
"Boss Dai, calm down!"
"Yeah, Boss Dai, maybe it's just a coincidence of names…"
But even they themselves didn't believe it.
A martial soul of the Netherworld Cat, a surname of Zhu—what a coincidence!
Yu Xiaogang looked at the distraught Dai Mubai, then at the sky, his stiff face furrowed.
Zhu Zhuqing's inclusion on the list, and that astonishing improvement, once again confirmed the terrifying ability of Beidou Academy to cultivate its students.
His pride in his martial soul theory was crumbling under this series of blows.
Flander's face was bitter. He had thought that having Tang San and a few other little monsters in the academy was already amazing enough.
But now, compared to Beidou Academy…
Above the sky, the golden light didn't stop after the announcement of the eighth place; instead, it surged even more fiercely, beginning to gather information on the seventh place.
The eyes of the entire continent were once again firmly drawn.
Everyone eagerly awaited the unveiling of the next name, anticipating this mind-blowing list of geniuses.
Who would ultimately be bestowed with the supreme glory of the top spot?
