Douluo Continent: Character Monologues, Starting with Qian Daoliu!

Chapter 157 Eighth on the Talent List, Shi Nian! [Second update, please vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets!]

As expected, the two golden meteors eventually entered Jixiang's body one after the other.

The moment the first golden meteor entered Jixiang's body, Jixiang felt an energy growing within him. Then, that energy swept over his entire body, giving him an unprecedented feeling of comfort and refreshment!

How can I describe that feeling?
Like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!

Emerging from the cocoon like a butterfly!

So comfortable!

After the second golden meteor entered Jixiang's body, Jixiang's martial spirit was forcibly released uncontrollably.

Then, under Ji Xiang's watchful gaze, his martial spirit, which was a tiny needle, underwent a tremendous change!
The surface of the needle is now brand new, and striking patterns have appeared. These patterns intersect to form a dragon! The dragon is gold! The dragon is incredibly lifelike! A closer look at the needle's tip reveals the characters "Huayang" engraved on it!

The Huayang Needle, a powerful offensive weapon spirit, can heal and launch surprise attacks. It contains the ultimate Yang power, making it indestructible! Its sharpness is fully revealed! It can pierce through anything!

With the Huayang Needle Martial Soul, as long as Jixiang cultivates to the Soul Saint Realm, he will be able to possess a domain called Huayang Wuji!

After slowly regaining his senses and feeling the changes within himself, Jixiang glanced at the dazzling light curtain in the sky and slowly knelt down: "Jixiang, I thank the divine curtain. I will never forget the grace of the divine curtain, even in death!"

boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Jixiang kowtowed to the sky.

The kindness of parents in giving birth to us, the kindness of parents in raising us, and the kindness of benefactors in helping us are the three great kindnesses in life.

Now, Jixiang has encountered the kindness of a benefactor.

The three acts of kindness, no matter which one, must never be forgotten!
If you forget, then you're no different from an ingrate.

As Ji Xiang obtained the meteor's opportunity, Lu Chen unsurprisingly also received a reward from the system.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully revealed the talent list once! You will receive the following rewards!]

[Reward 1: Open the Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Channels!]

[Reward Introduction: The benefits of opening the eight extraordinary meridians have already been explained, so I won't go into detail here!]

The system is about to open up Lu Chen's meridians right after he finished talking about them?

This system reward is great!
Lu Chen was very satisfied with this!
Just like last time, there are two rewards this time as well.

[Reward Two: Special Skill - Thirteen Ghost Needles!]

[Reward Description: Thirteen Ghost Needles, a healing skill. This needling technique can only be used on the deceased. Once unleashed, it's like fighting against the Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons of the Nine Netherworlds! This technique can only be used once every ten years! This technique is equivalent to the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Food God Douluo Oscar and Nine-Colored Douluo Ning Rongrong!]

"Skills to save lives?"

"This is interesting."

After glancing at the second reward, Lu Chen pocketed it.

……

Martial Soul City, Hall of Offerings, Angelic Sanctuary.

"Who will be the next person to make the list?" Qian Renxue murmured to herself, gazing at the light screen in the sky, filled with curiosity and anticipation.

It goes without saying what Qian Renxue was curious about.

Qian Renxue hopes she can make the list.

In Qian Renxue's view, if she were to make it onto the talent list, she would definitely receive a great opportunity! And any punishment would certainly have nothing to do with her, after all, she was so outstanding! She was the first god in the Douluo Continent in 20,000 years!

In this era of Soul Masters, although many, many gods have been born—at least several dozen—for Qian Renxue, she was the first god to be born, and that was enough.

As Qian Renxue waited with anticipation and curiosity, the celestial light screen, without any hesitation or wasting time, after rewarding the seventh person on the Talent Ranking, promptly revealed the next person to be listed. A voice, authoritative yet not angry, echoed across the three worlds.

[Ranked eighth on the talent list, Canghui Academy, mentor Shi Nian!]

Heavenly Dou Empire, Canghui Academy.

"what?!"

"I'm on the list?!"

Upon seeing his name and identity appear on the light screen in the sky, Shi Nian was stunned on the spot.

Shi Nian had undoubtedly dreamed of making it onto the Sky Chart! But he never expected that day would actually come! And so quickly at that!

After regaining her senses, Shi Nian felt both nervous and expectant.

The tension of the year stems from the anxiety of being punished.

The anticipation of each year is the expectation that one will receive a reward through opportunity!

"I hope my ranking will result in a reward!" Shi Nian prayed in his heart.

……

Heaven Dou Empire, Blazing Fire Academy.

"If I remember correctly, Shi Nian from Canghui Academy is only a Soul Saint, right? Why is he on the list? If he can be on the list, then can our Soul Douluo father also be on the list?"

When Huo Wushuang spoke, a look of anticipation bloomed on his face like a flower.

After Huo Wushuang finished speaking, Huo Wu, who was standing to the side with her arms crossed, gently parted her lips and said.

"I don't know, I'm not sure. In any case, since he was able to make the list that year, he must have had some extraordinary qualities. Let's just wait and see."

……

Soon, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the dazzling light in the sky began to introduce the eighth person to be listed on the talent list.

[At that time, Shi Nian came from a high-level Soul Master academy called Canghui Academy. At Canghui Academy, with his strength as a seven-ring Soul Saint, Shi Nian was both the vice dean and an instructor.]

Of the top seven talents on the talent list, excluding Ji Juechen, who comes from ten thousand years in the future, the other six all know Tang San. Shi Nian, ranked seventh on the talent list and a contemporary talent, is no exception.

Yu Xiaogang, Jixiang, Xue Beng, Feng Xiaotian, and Dugu Bo—these five people have a good relationship with Tang San and are all on his side.

[At that time, like Hu Liena, he stood on the opposite side of Tang San.]

Not only did Shi Nian stand against Tang San, but he also laid a hand on Tang San—and it was an assassination attempt!

The outer region of the far north, the Haotian Sect's camp.

"Killer?"

As Tang Hao uttered those two words while looking at the content displayed on the light screen in the sky, a murderous intent appeared on his face.

How could someone dare to kill their own son?
That little Soul Saint named Shi Nian has really eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!
Twin martial souls, innate full soul power, Tang Sect hidden weapons, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians—all these factors combined made Tang San not only Tang Hao's treasure but also the treasure of the entire Clear Sky Sect. It was precisely because of this that Tang Hao neither allowed anyone to lay a hand on Tang San nor allowed anyone to covet him. When he spoke, Tang Hao was also mentally sentencing Shi Nian to death!

……

[As expected, Canghui Academy also participated in the highly anticipated Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, and their team leader was none other than Shi Nian!]
