Douluo Continent: Breaking the Million-Year Barrier, the Golden Ranking Exposes Me

Chapter 108 Humanity's Worries

However, that initial, intense fighting spirit, born of love, hate, and passion...

As time has passed, it has long since cooled and settled.

The hesitation now is more of a rational weighing of options.

Moon's old injuries have healed, and his strength is even greater than before!
The Holy Light Dragon evolved into Ultimate Light, giving it a natural advantage over his Dark Holy Dragon.

He was not absolutely certain that he could win the battle.

Once they clash, it will be an earth-shattering battle, and the outcome will be unpredictable.

The possibility of both sides suffering heavy losses is extremely high.

This is not just a matter between him and Moon personally.

Currently, powerful members of the Soul Beast race are successively climbing the rankings, displaying an overwhelming momentum and an overall strength that is suffocating to humans.

However, the high-end combat capabilities of the human faction appear so "weak" and "outdated".

He and Moon were the only remaining peak combatants in the human camp.

If you fight to the death because of personal grudges or empty fame, it will result in both of you being seriously injured or even killed.

That would undoubtedly be a foolish act that would cause pain to loved ones and joy to enemies.

At that time, not only will the Holy Spirit Church lose its greatest support.

The entire human camp will lose its most important pillar, giving the covetous Soul Beast race an opportunity to take advantage.

Thinking of this, the last flicker of war in Long Xiaoyao's eyes completely extinguished, turning into a deep calm.

He raised his head and looked at the list of successful candidates.

The voice was steady and clear, carrying across the continent.

"I'm giving up the challenge."

Decisive, efficient, and with an unquestionable resolve.

As his words fell.

Across the continent, countless Soul Masters eagerly awaited and longed to witness a legendary showdown.

Their faces revealed undisguised disappointment and sighs.

"Rejected... rejected again..."

"Ye Xishui rejected Long Xiaoyao, and Long Xiaoyao rejected Mu En... Sigh!"

"It seems we'll never get to witness the life-or-death duel between these three Limit Douluos in our lifetime."

"What a pity, this battle between light and darkness should have been a battle recorded in history..."

Expectations dashed, regret pervades.

For many Soul Masters, witnessing the ultimate battle is the most important thing.

It was an opportunity and a shock that was hard to come by.

Shrek Academy.

When Mu En, who was sitting in the main seat, heard that Long Xiaoyao had chosen to give up, he was deeply moved.

Beneath that seemingly calm and composed face, a barely perceptible sigh of relief escaped.

He was not afraid of Long Xiaoyao.

He was confident that he could defeat extreme light against extreme darkness.

But the burden on his shoulders was too heavy.

Xuanzi had just suffered a crushing defeat and was severely injured, his very essence damaged.

Currently, it is slowly recovering with the power of the Golden Ancient Tree and will be unable to fight again for some time.

Shrek Academy, and even the entire Human Righteous Alliance centered around Shrek, is a pillar of high-end combat power.

At this moment, almost all the burden rested on his shoulders.

The Sea God Pavilion needs him to oversee things, and the academy needs him to protect it.

To counter potential threats from spirit beasts or evil spirit masters in the future, he needs to maintain his peak condition.

If he were to engage in a battle with Long Xiaoyao at this moment, it would inevitably be earth-shattering and extremely exhausting.

Regardless of victory or defeat, he is highly likely to be injured or overexerted.

Once he falls, Shrek Academy will immediately fall into an unprecedented state of weakness and crisis.

Humanity's righteous path will also lose its most solid shield.

Whether from the perspective of the overall situation or from the perspective of the responsibility to protect the academy.

He didn't want to see the final battle with Long Xiaoyao take place at this time and place. Long Xiaoyao's decision to give up was a rational one!

This also slightly reduced the pressure on Moon's shoulders.

This may also be a silent understanding, a shared awareness of the current crisis.

The list of successful candidates did not falter despite the repeated rejections.

After Long Xiaoyao gave up the challenge, the rewards for Long Xiaoyao, who ranked tenth, were distributed.

"Boom boom boom!"

Immediately afterwards, on the golden list.

The light representing the eighth row began to slowly converge in an unprecedented manner!

The light in the eighth row of the Golden List was completely solidified, exuding a heavy, wild, and pure sense of power that seemed to come from the ancient and primordial era!
The light shone with a deep earthy hue, and faintly visible were the phantoms of giant apes roaring towards the sky.

It carried an overwhelming and awe-inspiring power.

[Power Ranking, 8th Place: Titan!]

[Affiliation: Haotian Sect]

[Soul Power Level: Level 99, Limit Douluo]

[Martial Soul: Titan Giant Ape]

[Combat Strength Assessment: At the pinnacle of power, his fists can shatter mountains and split the earth; his defense is also unparalleled. After the evolution of his martial soul bloodline, his control over the power of the earth and the utilization of his own strength have reached an unimaginable level, making his frontal assault capabilities the best among human soul masters. Overall, he ranks eighth.]

[Reward: Titan bloodline further purified, strength and defense attributes greatly enhanced, soul ring age increased by 23,000 years, and the innate combat skill "World-Shaking Strike" gained.]

"Titan? The second sect master of the Haotian Sect!"

"Ultimate power! The greatest human feat in a direct assault!"

"Eighth place... He actually ranked eighth? Even he..."

"The first seven, except for Niu Tian... it's over..."

The impact of Titan's name appearing in the eighth position was doubly striking.

Shrek Academy.

Moon's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the name Titan.

The last glimmer of hope in my heart that "perhaps there is still a place for humans in the top five" was completely shattered.

He slowly closed his eyes, and a barely audible sigh rose in his heart.

"Titan, eighth... Of the top seven, only Niu Tian is left. It seems that what I expected was true."

He had already anticipated that powerful soul beasts would occupy the top positions.

But seeing this ranking, which is almost like a "verdict," still makes me feel powerless.

The gap between humans and soul beasts was even greater than he had anticipated.

He placed high hopes on two powerful figures from the Haotian Sect, both born as soul beasts but with hearts set on humanity. Titan was the first to be listed, but he only ranked eighth.

This undoubtedly exacerbated the sense of despair.

Niu Tian and Titan stood side by side, guarding Wang Dong'er who was in seclusion.

When they saw Titan's name on the list of winners, both of them showed an expression of disbelief and astonishment.

Titan's eyes widened, his rugged face filled with astonishment and confusion: "Me? Eighth?"

He was confident in his own strength, but he was also aware of the power of Mu En, Long Xiaoyao and others, and he understood even more how terrifying the old monsters in the Star Dou Great Forest were.

His ranking of eighth was certainly proof of his strength, but it also caused him a strong sense of unease.

Niu Tian's expression instantly turned extremely serious!

He thought deeper and further than Titan did.

"Second brother, something's not right."

He said in a deep voice, his tone unusually solemn.

"With your abilities, ranking eighth is certainly a recognition from the honor roll."

"But have you considered that this means the top seven, almost certainly, will be occupied by the top beings of the Soul Beast race, except for me!"

He paused, his eyes filled with even deeper worry: "Although we were reborn and transformed by chance, we have coexisted with humans for ten thousand years, always protecting the Haotian Sect. We have developed feelings for this continent and humans, and we hope to see peace."

"But the strength comparison revealed by the Golden List is so disparate... the overall strength of the Soul Beast race far exceeds that of humans."

“Once this balance is completely broken, ambition will inevitably arise.”

"At that time, conflict between the two races will be almost inevitable!"
