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

Chapter 153 First Place on the Battle Power Ranking
Regarding Lu Xiao's strength!
No matter how much everyone guessed, they all found it unbelievable.

One hundred levels of soul power, combat strength surpassing a second-level god?
It might even approach or reach the level of a first-class deity?
This has completely overturned the basic understanding of the Soul Master system!
Countless gazes were filled with surprise, shock, inquiry, and disbelief.

They all flocked to Beidou Academy once again.

Starry Sky Forest, by the Lake of Life.

With the combined efforts of Gu Yuena and Bi Ji, the severely injured Di Tian's breathing stabilized slightly.

He also saw the ranking of the Storm Dragon King and became more acutely aware of that "missing" element.

"Lord!"

Di Tian's weakened mental state was filled with confusion, "Lu Xiao, what exactly is he...?"

Gu Yuena's exquisite face now revealed deep contemplation and solemnity.

Her purple eyes gazed in the direction of Beidou Academy, as if trying to pierce through space and see the true nature of that person.

There's something very strange about him!

Gu Yuena murmured to herself.

“When I went to ask for the soul bone last time, I sensed that his power did not seem to belong entirely to this world, or rather, the way he used his power broke out of the conventional framework.”

"The assessment of Sky Curtain may be based on some kind of 'comprehensive combat power' that we cannot understand, including the trump cards he possesses."

As an avatar of the Dragon God, her perception of power far surpasses that of ordinary people.

She had a vague feeling that Lu Xiao was powerful!
It may not be a simple matter of stacking soul power level and skill power.

Rather, it is something more fundamental.

Beidou Academy.

Lu Xiao, who was in the center of attention, was also having his mind racing.

"Third place goes to the Storm Dragon King!"

Lu Xiao pondered to himself.

"My name has not yet been displayed in the sky. It seems that it is not assessing my apparent level 100 soul power."

"Instead, it includes the power I briefly used under the 'system enhancement' when I dealt with the Silver Dragon King, as well as other resources I might possess?"

He recalled when Gu Yuena came to ask for the Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul bone.

To be on the safe side, I did use some methods that exceeded my current soul power level.

Although it was only for a moment, it may have been captured and recorded by the sky.

"Overall combat strength, that's quite interesting."

Lu Xiao's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

It seems so!

His ranking is probably going to scare a lot of people.

Just as the entire continent was plunged into various speculations and shock due to Lu Xiao's "absence".

The vast sound from the sky did not stop, but resounded once more.

[Li Bai! Do you wish to apply to open the 'Endless Arena' and challenge the third-ranked Storm Dragon King?]

As the voice faded, the spectators, who had just witnessed Di Tian's crushing defeat, were still deeply moved.

They immediately turned their attention to Beidou Academy.

The Storm Dragon King is the guardian beast of Beidou Academy.

Would Li Bai take on the challenge?

Li Bai, who had just finished a great battle with Di Tian and whose soul power and spirit were greatly depleted, was still somewhat pale.

"I reject!"

Li Bai made his stance clear.

The sky seemed to accept this response, and the blood-red light rippled slightly.

"Boom boom boom!"

As Li Bai refused, the light in the sky flashed intensely once more.

Above the sky.

The vortex in the middle was spinning at its maximum speed!
At the center of the vortex, a point of pure, silver light suddenly shone!

The silver light was not dazzling.

Yet it contains the most fundamental rules and power of all elements, including water, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, and space!

The silver light slowly coalesced.

Ultimately, it transformed into a noble, mysterious mark bearing the supreme majesty of the dragon race.

The ranking information then appears.

[Power Ranking, Second Place]

【Name: Gu Yuena (Silver Dragon King)】

[Belongs to: Starry Sky Forest]

[Beast Type: Soul Beast (Dragon God Avatar)]

[Combat Power Assessment: A benevolent avatar of the Dragon God, the embodiment of elemental control. Perfectly inherits the Dragon God's authority over the seven fundamental elements: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space. His injuries have largely healed, and wielding the super artifact 'Silver Dragon Spear,' he can greatly amplify his elemental control and offensive capabilities. His strength is now infinitely close to the realm of a God-King.]

[Reward: A new elemental prototype, significantly improved control and fusion with elemental authority, enhanced compatibility with the Silver Dragon Spear, and 20% Golden Dragon King bloodline gain (to be distributed).]

Second place, Gu Yuena!
Silver Dragon King!
He recovered from his injuries and now wields a super weapon.

Its strength...is almost on par with that of a God-King!
Despite being mentally prepared, I was still taken aback when this evaluation was laid bare before me.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, especially among human soul masters, a bone-chilling cold and an oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe were still felt!

God King!

Based on the information previously revealed by the sky, we can make inferences.

Most people know that the God-King is the supreme ruler in the legends of the divine realm, controlling the central authority of the divine realm.

An existence that surpasses all first-level deities!

Even if she is only "infinitely close", Gu Yuena possesses the power to destroy everything.

Enough to easily wipe out any empire or sect on the continent!
……

In the Wuhun Palace.

Bibi Dong's face was deathly pale, and she almost crushed the papal scepter in her hand.

The Rakshasa Godhood she pursues!

Compared to the Silver Dragon King's assessment that he was "infinitely close to a God King," it seemed so insignificant.

Qian Daoliu felt that the inheritance of the Angel Temple behind him had become incredibly heavy.

Even the glory of our ancestors seems insufficient to illuminate the desperate situation before us. Poseidon Island.

Poseidon clung tightly to Tang Chen, her sea-blue eyes filled with worry.

The Sea God is a first-level deity.

The Silver Dragon King is infinitely close to being a God-King…
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan...

At this moment, a thick shadow fell over the hearts of all the high-ranking members of the human forces.

The Soul Beast race possesses such a supreme being!
What should be the fate of humanity in the future?

Starry Sky Forest, Core Area.

But it's a completely different story.

Despite Di Tian's serious injury, the gloom brought by Li Bai has not yet dissipated.

However, the Silver Dragon King's assessment that he was "infinitely close to a God King" was like a shot of adrenaline, injecting it into the hearts of all the soul beasts!
"Congratulations, my lord!"

The ferocious beasts, including Xiong Jun and Wan Yao Wang, had their eyes rekindled with fanaticism and awe, and they all prostrated themselves and growled in the direction of Gu Yue Na.

It expresses submission and worship to their supreme ruler.

While Biji continued to treat Di Tian.

Excitement was also evident in one of his eyes.

Only when the Lord regains his strength will the Soul Beast race have a true reliance.

In Di Tian's enormous dragon eyes, pain and loss were replaced by a light that mixed with awe and hope.

The stronger the Lord!

The future of the Soul Beast race will be brighter only if they are strong enough.

Gu Yuena herself stood quietly on the surface of the Lake of Life, her long silver hair moving without wind.

She looked at her ranking and evaluation on the screen, her purple eyes calm and composed, as if she had expected it all along.

Her gaze did not linger long on the words "infinitely close to the God King".

Instead, it bypassed its own name and landed in the rightmost vortex, which was still empty, but was destined to have a name engraved in its place.

“Lu Xiao…”

She whispered the name.

A complex light flashed deep within his purple eyes.

There were doubts, there was inquiry, and there was solemnity.

There was even a hint of... a subtle fighting spirit that she herself hadn't noticed.

"My lord, has Lu Xiao's strength truly reached the God-King level?"

Di Tian's weak voice came through.

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly: "No need to guess anymore, the answer will be revealed soon."

Her gaze deepened: "The Sky Curtain was able to assess my strength so accurately."

"The only reason it hasn't shown Lu Xiao yet is that, according to its judgment logic, Lu Xiao's overall combat strength... is still above mine."

The moment she uttered those words, Di Tian and the surrounding ferocious beasts understood their meaning.

The fervor and hope that had just begun were instantly replaced by a deeper chill and disbelief.

A human being... how is that possible?

Beidou Academy.

Sikong Zhen, Sun Wukong, and Li Bai all put away their relaxed expressions at this moment.

He looked solemnly at the ranking of the Silver Dragon Kings on the sky.

"Approaching the God-King level? Good heavens, this dragon is incredibly powerful!"

Sun Wukong scratched his head, his eyes gleaming with golden light, eager to try.

But more than anything, it felt somber.

Li Bai took a swig of wine and smacked his lips: "Tsk, it seems she really showed a lot of leniency when she came to ask for the soul bone last time!"

He recalled Gu Yuena's aura back then, and compared to Tianmu's evaluation now, it was indeed much more restrained.

The Storm Dragon King emitted a deep hum, and its huge dragon eyes revealed both recognition and a hint of competition.

We are both Dragon Kings!

It could sense the pure and powerful elemental essence emanating from Gu Yuena.

All eyes were once again focused on Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao remained calm despite the gazes of the crowd.

Looking at Gu Yuena's ranking, he understood.

"With his power approaching that of a God-King and the addition of the Silver Dragon Spear, he is indeed virtually invincible in the Douluo Continent."

The curve of his lips deepened.

Number one on the power ranking?
The answer will be revealed soon.

The vast voice from the heavens, following the established challenge rules, rang out once more.

[Storm Dragon King! Do you wish to apply to open the 'Endless Arena' and challenge the second-place Gu Yue Na?]

As soon as the voice fell, countless gazes instantly shifted from Gu Yuena's name to the ancient dragon king who ranked third and controlled the celestial phenomena.

Storm Dragon King and Silver Dragon King!

One is the guardian beast of Beidou Academy, wielding the power of nature.

One is the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, who controls the power of the seven elements.

If these two supreme soul beasts were to clash, the scene would undoubtedly be far more magnificent than the battle between Di Tian and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

This is undoubtedly the ultimate showdown that all spectators have been dreaming of!
Deep within the Beidou Academy.

In that secluded valley that was designated as a forbidden area!

An ancient tree, which has grown exceptionally tall and whose branches and leaves exude starlight and the spirit of nature, swayed gently.

At the very top of the tree canopy, coiled, was the shadow of a dragon, its size shrunk countless times, yet still magnificent and extraordinary.

Its entire body was covered with cyan-gold scales, and tiny wind and thunder runes flickered along the edges of the scales.

As the dragon's whiskers swayed, they sparked with wisps of electricity.

His dragon eyes were as deep as an abyss, containing the power of heaven and earth, like wind and clouds, lightning and thunder.

This is a miniature version of the Storm Dragon King.
