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

Chapter 183 The Pinnacle, Number One on the Power Ranking
Just as the strength of the Soul Beast race caused a great upheaval on the continent, and countless Soul Masters were terrified by its terrifying power.

The scene in the sky changed once again.

An indescribable aura, seemingly touching the very essence of the world, silently overwhelmed the auras emanating from all the previous forces!
The entire continent fell silent at that moment.

Even breathing seemed to stop.

Everyone finally understood who was number one on the power rankings!

That can only be—Beidou Academy!
Finally, that calm yet vast sound, as if emanating from the depths of the universe, resounded deep within the soul of every living being!

[Douluo Continent Power Ranking, Number One: Beidou Academy]

[Reason for Ranking]: Transcendent and unfathomable, its existence partially surpasses the conventional understanding of this plane. The academy's core strength is as follows: one God-King level combatant, two God-level combatants, five Limit Douluo level combatants, and two Super Douluo level combatants. It possesses the supreme Ancient Tree of Life, whose emanating life-origin power can subtly enhance the talents, potential, and injury recovery speed of creatures within its range, providing the academy's area with near-infinite life energy and the optimal cultivation environment—a place of unparalleled opportunity and fortune.

[Ranking Rewards]:
1. Enhanced Primal Blessings: The degree to which Beidou Academy receives the favor of the plane's primal source is permanently and significantly increased, and the concentration of heaven and earth soul power within the academy's area increases by 50%.

2. Academy-wide Enhancement: The Soul Ring age of all official members of Beidou Academy will be immediately increased by 2000 years.

3. Divine Resources Descend: Three top-grade immortal herbs and ten 100,000-year-old soul bones will randomly appear.

4. Tree of Life Leap: The growth rate of the Tree of Life is permanently increased by 15%, the efficiency and purity of the release of the source of life are greatly improved, its coverage area is doubled, and a "Spring of Life" (which can produce life essence) is generated.

……

At the top of the list, Beidou Academy!
When this list of strengths and rewards, even more unreasonable than that of the Soul Beast race, was laid bare before the entire continent.

The shock and fear caused by the soul beasts seemed to have been paused.

It then transformed into another, more complex and indescribable emotion.

"Li Bai, Lü Bu, Sun Wukong... these people really do possess the combat power of a Limit Douluo..."

"The Ancient Tree of Life... a heaven-defying existence that can enhance one's talent potential? How incredible!"

"Three top-grade immortal herbs! Ten 100,000-year-old soul bones! And a growing ancient tree of life... My God!"

"No wonder it ranks first. This top-tier combat power, coupled with that ancient tree of life, is simply..."

After a brief silence, an even more intense uproar ensued.

This time, however, the discussions lacked the fear they felt when facing spirit beasts.

There was a lot of disbelief, envy, jealousy, and even a bit of bewilderment.

The strength of Beidou Academy seems to be beyond what can be fully described by mere strength.

That is a more fundamental advantage that touches upon the level of creation and opportunity.

The top-tier God-King combat power is enough to suppress all dissent, and the existence of the Ancient Tree of Life further guarantees its terrifying sustainable development capability and absolute attraction to geniuses!
Many powerful figures were experiencing a mix of emotions at this moment.

They finally understood why Beidou Academy was able to recruit so many unheard-of monster teachers and genius disciples.

Having a tree that can enhance one's talent and potential is simply a sacred place that every Soul Master dreams of!

In comparison, things like soul bones, immortal herbs, and cultivation acceleration seem to have become secondary byproducts.

……

Star Forest, Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena looked at the introduction of Beidou Academy on the sky screen, especially the description of Lu Xiao's God-King level combat power!
A faint ripple flickered in her purple eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"It really is him... the number one student at Beidou Academy."

She murmured to herself, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

She had expected this outcome.

Having personally experienced Lu Xiao's unfathomable power, she understood that the power that man belonged to was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people in this world.

Although the Soul Beast race is strong, they are no match for beings that may be able to access higher dimensions!

It's not unfair that we came in second. However, seeing the Heavenly Curtain's straightforward announcement and its description of the Ancient Tree of Life as something extraordinary, a complex feeling still arose in my heart.

That was the pride of the Dragon God's bloodline and a hint of barely perceptible resentment.

"My lord, the Ancient Tree of Life at Beidou Academy!"

Di Tian couldn't help but speak, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of longing.

Treasures that can enhance talent potential also have an unparalleled attraction for soul beasts!

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly: "That is the foundation of Beidou Academy. It is not something that belongs to our clan. We cannot force it. Our clan has its own path and opportunities."

"The Sky Curtain reward has arrived; the right path is to focus on improving ourselves. As for Beidou Academy, we should observe it; there's no need to make enemies for now."

"Yes!"

Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts suppressed the turbulent emotions in their hearts and respectfully responded.

They also understand that making enemies of Beidou Academy is by no means a wise move.

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong looked at the concise yet incisive description of Beidou Academy and the enviable rewards.

A cold glint flashed deep in his eyes, and his nails almost dug into his palms.

"A potential God-King level combatant, the Ancient Tree of Life!"

She repeated it in a low voice, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

The power and confidence that the Rakshasa God Trial gave her seemed to crumble before the words "God King level".

The previous battle on the power rankings made him realize Lu Xiao's strength; even if she became the Rakshasa God, she would still be no match for him!

The ancient tree of life filled her with a deep sense of dread.

This means that the potential of Beidou Academy is almost limitless!

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

Ju Douluo Yueguan's voice was dry.

"The Beidou Academy has an incredibly rich history."

He wanted to say "terrible," but swallowed it back under Bibi Dong's icy gaze.

Ghost Douluo said in a ghostly, hoarse voice, "Now it seems that having Beidou Academy above the soul beast race may not be entirely a bad thing for us human soul masters."

"At least, the Soul Beast race no longer dares to be as unrestrained as before."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly and didn't reply.

Of course she understands this principle!
But that doesn’t mean she can accept Beidou Academy riding on the head of the Spirit Hall!

Even more unacceptable is that Lu Xiao possesses such terrifying power and resources!
The existence of Beidou Academy is like a thorn in our side!

Deeply rooted in her ambition and pride.

"The reward has arrived. Consume it quickly, for foreign enemies are approaching and the continent will be in chaos!"

"The future remains to be seen!"

Bibi Dong forcefully suppressed the turmoil in her heart and restored the Pope's dignity.

She won't give up; she'll complete the Rakshasa God Trial first!
……

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, the Clear Sky School, and the two great empires…
At this moment, all forces turned their gazes toward Beidou Academy with a mixture of complex emotions, awe, and even some bewilderment.
