Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 1: Three Years of Sign-in, Breaking Through the Limits of Douluo

Douluo Continent, deepest part of Sunset Forest.

This place is perpetually shrouded in colorful poisonous miasma, where ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts lurk, and even titled Douluo dare not set foot here lightly.

Yet, in this place where mortals have vanished, stands an ancient and simple academy.

Beidou Academy.

The central square of the college is paved with white jade and is spacious enough to accommodate a thousand people.

In the center of the square, a young man with black hair was lying lazily on a bamboo rocking chair, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were dozing.

His name is Lu Xiao, and he traveled here three years ago.

[Ding! Daily check-in successful]

[Congratulations, host, you have received: one year of cultivation improvement, and a random 1-year soul bone box.]

A mechanical voice echoed in Lu Xiao's mind, but he didn't even bother to open his eyes.

It's been three years since I was bound to this "check-in system" the day I transmigrated.

He spends all his time eating and sleeping, yet his cultivation level skyrockets like a rocket.

On the first day of signing in, I directly obtained Title Douluo-level soul power.

On the 300th day of signing in, his soul power broke through level 95, making him a Super Douluo.

700th day of check-in, level 98.

And just now—

An indescribable power flowed into my entire body from the void, and every cell was jumping for joy.

The soul power was as vast and boundless as a boundless ocean, and the spiritual perception instantly covered the entire Sunset Forest.

Level 99 Limit Douluo!

"After three years in this world, I've finally become a Limit Douluo. It wasn't easy."

Lu Xiao opened his eyes, stretched lazily, but his tone lacked any sincerity in saying "it's not easy".

If outsiders were to hear this, they would surely vomit three liters of blood.

He achieved a level that others could only reach after hundreds of years of arduous practice, by sleeping for three years and then signing in, and still dared to exclaim, "It wasn't easy!"
However, at the very moment Lu Xiao broke through—

boom!
Suddenly, the entire world was enveloped in a ray of golden light.

The light was vast and boundless, containing supreme divine power. Even Lu Xiao, who had just advanced to the Limit Douluo level, felt a tremor in his heart.

"God-level power?"

Lu Xiao sat up straight, his brows slightly furrowed.

In the sky, golden light converged to form an endless canopy.

It stretches across the entire Douluo Continent, and can be seen no matter where you are.

Above the sky, the glow of the sunset swirled, gradually revealing three ancient characters:
[Martial Soul Ranking]

Immediately afterwards, lines of small golden text appeared, their contents resounding simultaneously in the minds of every living being:
[The Heavenly Dao of Douluo Continent manifests, listing the Martial Soul Rankings and reviewing the top twenty strongest Martial Souls of the era.]

The ranking is based on a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as the quality of the martial soul, its potential, its innate soul power level, and the talent of the wielder.

Those who make the list all receive divine blessings; the rewards vary depending on their ranking.

Lu Xiao looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky, and his expression became strange.

"Could it be that my system is causing a butterfly effect?"

He muttered to himself, then shook his head. "Never mind, as long as the gods don't appear, I am invincible."

"So what if we're exposed? The academy can't hide this for long anyway."

Just as Lu Xiao had predicted, the entire Beidou Academy was alarmed the moment the sky appeared.

Figures appeared from all parts of the academy to the central square, gazing up at the strange phenomenon in the sky, their faces filled with shock and curiosity. The first to arrive were three girls with distinct personalities.

A woman dressed in a light green dress, with an elegant demeanor tinged with a touch of arrogance, was none other than Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Three years ago, when Lu Xiao forcibly occupied the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Having witnessed his unfathomable strength, Dugu Bo decisively backed down.

Not only did they give up their prime location, but they also sent their granddaughter to the academy to "study".

The second girl was dressed in black, with a hot figure and stunning beauty, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

She is Zhu Zhuqing, the daughter of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, who ventured into the depths of the Sunset Forest to escape her family's fate.

Just then, the system released a "recruit students" task, and Lu Xiao was "invited" in.

The last girl to arrive, skipping and hopping, wore a long blue dress, her eyes were bright and lively, and she exuded both nobility and vivacity.

It was none other than Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

When she ran away from home, she accidentally entered Sunset Forest and was also guided by a system mission, becoming a member of Beidou Academy.

"Dean, dean!"

Ning Rongrong spotted Lu Xiao in the rocking chair and jogged over, speechless. "How come you're still lying there so calmly when a golden screen suddenly appears in the sky?"

"It's been three years, and all you've done is eat and sleep. Can't you act like a hospital director at all?!"

Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly to the side, but her eyes were keenly observing Lu Xiao's reaction.

Since joining the academy, she has increasingly felt that the dean and the entire academy exude a mysterious aura.

The teachers here never revealed their martial spirits or spirit rings, yet they always gave her a feeling of unfathomable depth.

Dean Lu Xiao, in particular, may seem lazy, but he possesses an extraordinary aura that commands respect.

Dugu Yan also curiously leaned over: "Dean, the sky says that's the Martial Soul Ranking, which is to rank the twenty strongest Martial Souls in the world!"

"Do you think my Jade Phosphorous Serpent King will be accepted?"

With the help of the academy's resources, her martial soul has already evolved into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which can be called a top-level beast martial soul.

Lu Xiao yawned and said lazily, "What's the rush? We'll know in three days."

Ning Rongrong clenched her little fist excitedly: "My Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one support martial soul in the world, it will definitely be in the top five! I wonder what reward Heaven will give me!"

It was with the academy's help that her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao's face showed a strange expression.

If it were the old Douluo Continent, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would indeed be firmly in the top five.

but now.
Which of the "freaks" in the academy has a martial soul that is inferior to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with Ning Rongrong's thoughts.

Before Lu Xiao could explain, a clear voice came from the side:
"Alright, class is starting! Everyone assemble! Today we will be conducting practical training!"

The newcomer was a young man dressed in a white robe, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, exuding a free and unrestrained air.

He stood there seemingly casually, yet he appeared to be one with the world.

Upon seeing him, the three women immediately abandoned their idle chatter and stood up straight: "Yes, Teacher Li Bai!"

Li Bai lazily took a sip of wine and casually said, "Same old rules, all three of you come at me together. If you can touch the hem of my clothes, you all pass the test and get full marks."

As soon as the words were spoken, the three of them sprang into action!
"The Nine Treasures manifest as Glazed Glass, the first being: Power! The second: Speed! The third: Soul!"

Ning Rongrong released the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda immediately.

Nine-colored light enveloped the entire field, buffing the teammates.

Zhu Zhuqing's martial spirit possessed her, transforming her into a ghostly spirit cat. Her figure flashed out like a phantom, heading straight for Li Bai's flank.

Dugu Yan released the Azure Phosphorus Serpent King's venom, and a green poisonous mist spread out, blocking Li Bai's retreat.
