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

Chapter 46 Genius List

Mentioning this, Ye Lingling took a deep breath, her eyes still filled with shock.

She recalled the earth-shattering scene above the Spirit Hall, her voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of seriousness.

"Teacher Li Bai... he... he was merely a giant azure lotus sword formed from sword intent, yet it hovered above the Spirit Hall, making the entire Spirit City feel suffocated..."

"The Pope, elders, and the unfathomable Grand Elder Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall have all come out..."

She described how Li Bai stunned the entire audience with a single sword strike.

He recounted in detail how he released those astonishing nine 100,000-year soul rings, forcing Qian Daoliu to personally order their release.

"Nine... all of them are 100,000-year-old red spirit rings..."

Ye Lingling murmured one last time, as if she was still immersed in the shock of that bloody scene.

Nine 100,000-year soul rings?!

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan both gasped in shock.

Even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted!

They knew Li Bai was strong, but they never imagined he was this ridiculously strong!

Nine 100,000-year soul rings!
This is practically legendary!

No wonder even the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall had to bow down!

"Oh my god...we should have known better than to ask for leave!"

Ning Rongrong stomped her foot, looking regretful.

"How wonderful it would be to witness Teacher Li Bai's divine power in person! That's the headquarters of the Spirit Hall!"

Dugu Yan also felt a deep sense of regret, her eyes filled with longing: "Yes, I really want to see what Teacher Li Bai looks like when he unleashes his full power..."

Several girls were chattering away.

His admiration for Li Bai was evident in his words.

at this time……

The golden canopy hanging high in the sky once again shone with boundless golden light!
[The Douluo Continent Genius Ranking will be announced in three days!]

[Listing Criteria: Soul Masters under the age of 25. The top 20 will be selected based on a comprehensive evaluation of their talent, potential, Soul Power level, Martial Soul quality, and combat prowess!]

Those who make the list will all receive a gift from Heaven!

Ning Rongrong and the others were drawn to the genius ranking list in the sky, which was once again announcing new rankings.

Ning Rongrong clenched her small fists, her beautiful eyes gleaming with fighting spirit: "Genius Ranking! I wonder how many spots our Beidou Academy can occupy? And where will we rank?"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were firm, and she remained silent.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also raised their heads, their eyes filled with anticipation.

They all wanted to know what was on this list that brought together the top young talents from across the continent.

How far can I, and my companions, go?
The reputation of Beidou Academy may take this opportunity to truly resonate throughout the mainland.

……

The new rankings were announced.

It instantly attracted the attention of all the Soul Masters on the continent!

"Genius Ranking! Under 25 years old!"

"Wow, this list covers a much wider range! As long as you're young and have potential, you have a chance!"

"Talent, level, martial spirit, combat power... a comprehensive evaluation, this is much more difficult than a simple martial spirit ranking!"

"I wonder who will make the list? The Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall? The princes of the two great empires? Or the heirs of those reclusive sects?"

"Those little monsters from Shrek Academy seem to be quite young. Is there a chance for them?"

"..."

The entire continent was once again engulfed in heated discussions and anticipation.

For young Soul Masters, this is undoubtedly another excellent opportunity to make a name for themselves and gain a special chance.

Many young Soul Masters who considered themselves exceptionally talented were eagerly anticipating the announcement of the rankings in three days.

……

The three days passed quickly amidst the anticipation of countless people.

When the dawn of the fourth day arrived again.

The familiar ripples appeared on the sky right on time, as golden light converged.

[Genius Ranking]

The three large characters shone brightly.

[Genius Ranking, 20th: Hu Yanli!]

[Soul Power Level: Level 38, Defensive Battle Soul Master] [Martial Soul: Diamond Mammoth (Top-tier Defensive Beast Martial Soul)]

[Affiliation: Elephant Armor Academy]

[Evaluation: With extremely strong martial soul defense and a solid foundation, he is a top defensive character among the younger generation.]

[Reward: Soul Power increased by one level, and the age of all Soul Rings increased by three hundred years!]

"Huyan Li! The young sect master of the Elephant Armor Sect!"

"The Diamond Mammoth's defense is truly terrifying; I've heard that even Soul Kings struggle to break through its defenses!"

"Level 38, that's not bad. No wonder he's the heir of one of the four lower sects."

"The increase of three hundred years in the age of his spirit rings has significantly improved his defensive capabilities!"

……

The sky was bathed in golden light, and the next winner was announced quickly.

[Genius Ranking, 19th: Ma Hongjun!]

[Soul Power Level: Level 33, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master]

[Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix (Top-tier mutated beast martial soul, containing phoenix bloodline, with enormous potential, but with the hidden danger of evil fire)]

[Affiliation: Shrek Academy]

[Evaluation: The martial spirit is of extremely high quality, possessing formidable attack power. Despite being young, the individual has immense potential; however, their temperament is somewhat impetuous and requires guidance.]

[Reward: Soul Power increased by one level, and the age of all Soul Rings increased by four hundred years!]

"Ma Hongjun? From Shrek Academy?"

"The Evil Fire Phoenix? That sounds incredibly powerful! And it's a top-tier mutated martial soul!"

"Another student from Shrek Academy has made the list! Although he's ranked low, Ma Hongjun is probably quite young and has a bright future!"

"Hidden danger of evil fire? What is that?"

"..."

Stay away from Wuhun City.

The Shrek Academy students, who were temporarily staying in a remote town, cheered when they saw Ma Hongjun on the list.

"Fatty! That's impressive! You made the list!"

Oscar excitedly punched Ma Hongjun.

Dai Mubai nodded with a smile: "Not bad, you didn't embarrass Shrek Academy."

Ma Hongjun himself proudly raised his head, hands on his hips: "That's right, don't you know who I, Ma Hongjun, am! Haha, my soul power has increased by one level, and the age of my soul ring has also increased! Awesome!"

Only Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, looking at the four words "Hidden Danger of Evil Fire" with a thoughtful expression.

This evil fire has always been a problem that has troubled Ma Hongjun's cultivation, and it seems that Tianmu has also taken notice.

Meanwhile, various forces on the mainland once again made a mark on the name "Shrek Academy".

This college, though seemingly insignificant.

However, several people have already made it onto the Sky Chart, so they should not be underestimated.

……

Within the Xiangjia clan.

Hu Yanli looked at the list in the sky, feeling the increasing soul power within his body and the more resilient soul rings.

An excited smile first appeared on his rugged face.

Being able to make it onto this continent-wide list of geniuses and receive a reward from the Heavenly Dao is indeed something to be happy about.

"Huh? Only twentieth place?"

However, when he realized that he was only ranked twentieth.

The nineteenth person ranked ahead of him was a kid from some Shrek Academy whom he had hardly ever heard of.

When he realized that the soul power level of the person in question was lower than his own, the smile on his face froze instantly, replaced by a strong sense of resentment and anger.

"Twentieth place? Are you kidding me!"

Huyanli growled in a deep, muffled voice, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"I, Huyan Li, am the young sect master of the Elephant Armor Sect. My Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul possesses unparalleled defensive power among my peers!"

"Who in the entire younger generation of the empire doesn't know my name? How could I possibly be ranked only twentieth?"

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, especially when he saw that Ma Hongjun's martial spirit evaluation included a description of "potential evil fire," which was clearly a flaw.

This made him feel that the list was unfair.
