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

Chapter 28 Special Martial Soul Ranking
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao snapped out of his reverie and regained his calm and composed demeanor.

He shrugged and smiled calmly: "That's not right. You've never asked me about my actual strength, have you?"

These lighthearted yet slightly teasing words left Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing speechless.

I was speechless for a moment, but it seemed to make sense!
Upon reflection, since they joined Beidou Academy, the young dean had spent his days either lounging in a chair in the sun or wandering around the academy.

When instructing them on cultivation, he mostly used words to guide them; I never saw him seriously meditate or cultivate.

His behavior and mannerisms made him seem like a leisurely ordinary person, far removed from the description of a "top expert".

That's why.

They felt such a huge shock when the truth was revealed in such a shocking way.

However, this conversation also eased the previous tension.

The three women quickly calmed their turbulent emotions, which were replaced by an indescribable excitement and exhilaration.

They finally glimpsed the true essence of Beidou Academy, only the tip of the iceberg.

A dean who can trigger heavenly tribulations and possesses unimaginable top-tier combat power.

A teacher named Li Bai, whose sword aura soars to the heavens and whose depths are unfathomable.

……

Joining such an academy means that their future path will far exceed what ordinary people can imagine.

Titled Douluo?

Perhaps that was just the beginning!
Becoming a top powerhouse renowned throughout the continent no longer seems like an unattainable dream.

Thinking of this, bright light shone in all three pairs of beautiful eyes, filled with unprecedented confidence and anticipation for their future path of cultivation.

Just then, Ning Rongrong seemed to suddenly remember something.

She strode up to Lu Xiao and solemnly took out the magnificent golden herb, the Qiluo Tulip, from her storage soul tool.

"Dean, I would like to ask for leave to go home."

Ning Rongrong said earnestly.

"I want to take this Qiluo Tulip back for my father to consume. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's martial spirit has always had a flaw, and can only be cultivated to the highest level of seventy-nine."

"Since this immortal herb can help my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, perhaps... perhaps it can also help my father's martial soul evolve!"

Her eyes were full of hope.

Ning Fengzhi, the father and sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, had a lifelong regret that he was limited by his martial soul and could not break through level 80.

If this can be changed, it will be a great joy for my father and for the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Lu Xiao glanced at Ning Rongrong, then at the shimmering fairy herb in her hand, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

Not only did he agree to Ning Rongrong's request, he also said to Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, "You can also take this opportunity to go back for a few days and relax. You've worked hard cultivating during this period."

Then, he turned his gaze back to Ning Rongrong, his tone calm but with a hint of reminder.

“Rongrong, the Qiluo Tulip does indeed have the magical effect of promoting the evolution of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.”

"But you should know that the efficacy of medicinal herbs is closely related to the age, physical condition, and potential of the user."

"The younger the age, the lower the soul power level, and the greater the physical plasticity, the more thoroughly the immortal herb can improve talent and trigger evolution, and the more fully its medicinal power can be exerted."

He paused, then continued, "Your father, Sect Master Ning, is highly skilled and advanced in years; his martial spirit form has long been stable."

"His consumption of this Qiluo Tulip will certainly greatly benefit his body, enhance his soul power, and may even cause a certain degree of benign mutation in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"But whether it can evolve directly into a perfect Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda like you... there are many variables involved, and it's not a sure thing."

After hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ning Rongrong's bright eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

She nodded vigorously: "Dean, I understand what you mean, but in any case, it is a glimmer of hope."

"Even if it only allows my father's martial soul to evolve a little, it's worth it. This immortal herb is useless to me for the time being, so why not let my father try it!" Seeing that she was determined and her filial piety was commendable.

Lu Xiao said no more and nodded in agreement with a smile.

On the other hand, Dugu Yan also expressed her desire to return to Tiandou City to visit her grandfather, Dugu Bo.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her cool voice carrying an undeniable firmness.

"Dean, I won't be going back. Rongrong and the others have seen a significant increase in their soul power thanks to the rewards from this Martial Soul Ranking. I want to use this time to continue my secluded cultivation and consolidate my strength. I can't let my guard down."

She was well aware that she came from the Star Luo Empire, which put her in a special position, and that she was also engaged to Dai Mubai and had a competitive relationship with him. Strength was the foundation for her survival.

With the appearance of the sky screen this time, she was now quite far behind Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong.

She must seize every opportunity to consolidate her advantage and catch up.

"it is good!"

Lu Xiao expressed his appreciation for Zhu Zhuqing's choice.

Just as the group finished their discussion and were preparing to take their respective actions, another unexpected event occurred!

"Boom boom boom!"

The sky, which had just cleared up, suddenly began to ripple with invisible waves again.

Golden rays of light began to converge, as if an invisible hand was wielding ink across the sky.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn back to the mysterious and unpredictable sky.

The golden light slowly receded, transforming into lines of clear and majestic characters that floated in the sky:

[The Special Martial Soul Ranking will be announced in three days.]

[The unique Martial Souls of Douluo Continent are revealed; each Martial Soul is special and one of a kind.]

(Note: Martial spirits that have already appeared on the previous Martial Spirit Ranking will not be included in this ranking.)
Upon seeing this line of text, countless Soul Masters across the continent were briefly stunned.

This sparked an even more heated wave of discussion than before!
"A special martial soul ranking list? It only includes unique martial souls?"

"Great! Those monstrous martial souls that weren't on the list before, our chance has come!"

"Although my martial spirit is only of high-level, it is said that there was a mutation in one of my ancestors, so it might be unique!"

"Quickly! Immediately check our family genealogy and ancient records to see if there are any special records about our martial spirit!"

Countless Soul Masters believe their Martial Soul is special, or that they possess a mutated Martial Soul, or that they have an ancient but unknown lineage.

A burning flame of hope ignited in my heart.

This means that they also have the opportunity to ascend to this mysterious Heavenly Ranking and receive the coveted gifts of heaven and earth!
However, the changes in the sky did not stop.

Below the [Special Martial Soul Ranking], the golden light continued to flow.

Another line of heart-pounding text appeared one by one:

[The Power Ranking of Douluo Continent...]

[Douluo Continent Soul Beast Ranking...]

[The Divine Weapon Ranking...]

[Power Ranking...]

【…】

……

quiet!
A deathly silence enveloped every place where the sky could be seen!
But this silence lasted only a very short moment before it was replaced by a frenzy that was completely ignited!
