Chapter 406 The Endless Arena Reappears
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the two of them, and said in a deep voice.
"No need for formalities, Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo, obey my command."
"Your subordinates are here!" the two replied in unison.
"Immediately issue the order to integrate all the troops, resources, and influence of the Spirit Hall!"
Bibi Dong's voice was cold and resolute.
"Now that I have become a god, I must take advantage of the fact that the major powers of Douluo Continent have not yet fully digested this heaven-defying opportunity and their strength has not yet been consolidated, and use thunderous means to completely defeat them!"
"This cataclysmic event has not only benefited our Spirit Hall, but also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and even the spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Only by acting swiftly and decisively, and suppressing all sides with thunderous measures, can we prevent unforeseen complications and other unexpected events from arising!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, a fierce glint in their eyes, and solemnly replied.
"Yes, sir!"
Just as the Spirit Hall was making intensive preparations for expansion, a sudden change occurred!
"Boom boom boom!"
The sky above, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst forth with unprecedentedly brilliant golden light!
The radiance was as brilliant as the blazing sun, illuminating the entire Douluo Continent.
It seemed to be an auspicious omen bestowed to celebrate the completion of the Douluo Continent's plane advancement and the arrival of a new life.
"Buzz!"
The world fell silent instantly.
Whether it's a Soul Master in seclusion, a Soul Beast cultivating, or an ordinary person walking on the street.
They all instinctively stopped what they were doing, looked up at the sky.
"The Sky Curtain! It's the Sky Curtain!"
Is it going to release a new list again?
"Such an unparalleled opportunity must be an incredible stroke of good fortune!"
Excited cheers and whispers instantly resounded throughout the mainland.
All eyes were fixed on the ever-changing sky, eagerly awaiting its announcement.
In an instant, an incomparably magnificent, golden light curtain descended from the heavens.
It stretched across the sky, covering the entire continent.
Immediately afterwards, lines of large, gilded characters cascaded out like a waterfall, shining brightly and clearly catching everyone's eye.
[Endless Arena: Ranking of Prodigies]
The moment the list appeared, countless people widened their eyes, their faces showing surprise and curiosity.
"The Endless Arena?"
"Judging from this name, isn't this the battleground derived from the combat power ranking that Tianmu previously announced?"
"Could it be that this new ranking list was also created for the purpose of fighting?"
"..."
The crowd erupted in uproar and discussion.
The voice from the heavens once again resounded throughout the land, carrying an air of majesty and solemnity as it explained.
[Sensing the upgrade of the Douluo Continent plane and the impending crisis in the Spirit Realm, the Endless Arena is now open. Anyone ranked on the Prodigy Ranking can choose one person to enter the Endless Arena and engage in battle.]
The winner will receive an incredible reward, while the loser will be punished. A special restriction applies: only lower-ranked players are allowed to challenge higher-ranked players.
The moment the rules were announced, the entire Douluo Continent erupted in excitement!
"A challenge! I want to take on the challenge!"
"Ao Yin is actually ranked first?"
"Although there is a risk of punishment, this is a truly incredible opportunity! We must not miss it!"
"..."
Those who made it onto the list of prodigies were especially eager to try their luck.
After all, following this massive upheaval on the continent, almost all Soul Masters have experienced unprecedented enhancements in strength, talent, and constitution.
Everyone longs for a thrilling battle to challenge their own limits.
To verify their true combat strength in the new Douluo Continent.
What's more, this is the Ranking of Prodigies!
Out of a thousand people across the entire mainland, those who made the list are all outstanding members of the younger generation!
...
Beidou Academy, on the plaza.
Li Bai, Sikong Zhen, Ao Yin, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and others were gathered together.
Looking at the golden list in the sky, his face was filled with shock and excitement.
Li Bai smiled at the people around him and said, "It seems that the Heavenly Canopy had anticipated this all along, setting up this endless arena specifically to deal with the future invasion of the Spirit Realm."
He changed the subject, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and patted Ao Yin on the shoulder.
"However, you lot are probably going to be quite busy now. Look at your rankings, you're all in the top ten of the Prodigy Ranking, especially Ao Yin, who's firmly in first place!"
"Next, there will definitely be an endless stream of challengers coming your way, so be prepared to face them."
Holding a long spear that gleamed with silver light, Ao Yin smiled, his eyes brimming with confidence, and said calmly.
"It's alright, let them come. Whether they can defeat me or not is not up to them."
Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and others also showed confident expressions.
Even before this incredible opportunity, their strength was already unparalleled among the younger generation in the Douluo Continent.
Moreover, with the strong support of the Ancient Tree of Life, they absorbed several times or even dozens of times more primal power of the plane than others!
Their strength has increased exponentially!
Take Ao Yin for example. He is not even twenty years old yet, but he has already successfully broken through to the Soul Douluo realm.
He's not far from becoming a Title Douluo!
If this news gets out, it will definitely shock the entire Douluo Continent!
...
The far east.
Gu Yuena looked at the list of geniuses that appeared on the sky, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
This newly emerged list of prodigies is clearly only for human soul masters and has nothing to do with the soul beast race.
But she also knew!
In a short period of time, human soul masters, with the blessing of the Nine-Colored Divine Rain, indeed improved far more than the soul beast race.
This is an imbalance in the rules of heaven and earth, and also an inevitable trend.
Now that the mainland is facing a crisis of survival for the spirit world, spirit beasts and humans should put aside their prejudices and work together.
There's no need to worry about these temporary gains and losses.
"As long as human soul masters can take advantage of this prosperous era to grow rapidly and stand shoulder to shoulder with the soul beast race to protect the Douluo Continent in the future, that will be enough."
Gu Yuena thought to herself, and quickly calmed down.
However, just as her gaze was about to shift away.
An unprecedentedly terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from Lu Xiao beside him!
"boom!!!"
This aura is not simply the oppressive aura of a god-king.
Rather, it is an absolute majesty that transcends the rules of heaven and earth and overlooks the void of the heavens!
Gu Yuena shuddered, her pupils shrinking sharply.
His face instantly revealed extreme horror and fear!
She could clearly feel that Lu Xiao's aura was too strong!
So powerful that it made her tremble from the bottom of her heart!
That was a realm she had never experienced and could never imagine!
"He broke through! He really broke through!"
Gu Yuena's heart pounded as she stared intently at Lu Xiao.
