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

Chapter 71 Wang Dong'er Awakens

The entire continent has not yet recovered from the ultimate shock brought by the "Return of the Universe to the Void".

Moreover, all forces are still digesting the terrifying and despair-inducing power displayed by the Soul Beast race.

at this time!

In the sky, the golden list, whose light had been gradually dimming, suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance once again without warning!

"Here we go again! The list of successful candidates has changed again!"

"What's this time? Is there another ranking list?"

"My God, is it not over yet?"

"..."

Countless eyes were once again drawn to it.

Weary, numb, yet unable to suppress our curiosity, we focus on the list of successful candidates.

On the list of names, all the words about Martial Soul Fusion Techniques slowly faded away.

Instead, a line of even more magnificent characters appeared, seemingly containing infinite possibilities and vitality.

Like the rising sun, illuminating the sky.

[The Douluo Continent Genius Ranking will be announced in three days!]

[Scope of evaluation: Covering all living beings in the Douluo Continent (including Soul Masters and Soul Beasts)]

[Evaluation Criteria: A comprehensive assessment is conducted based on multiple dimensions, including age, soul power level, talent potential, bloodline strength, rule affinity, and mental fortitude.]

[List of Entries: Top 20]

[Note: Geniuses are favored by the heavens and earth, the cornerstone of future development. This list aims to highlight potential, inspire the younger generation, and encourage diligence from all.]

The release of this trailer was like a breath of fresh air, dispelling some of the oppression and panic that had gripped the mainland.

"Genius Ranking! Finally, a ranking that looks 'normal'!"

"Covering all living beings? Soul beasts included?"

"Top twenty! Do our sect's geniuses also have a chance?"

"Age, soul power, talent, bloodline... a comprehensive score, sounds fair!"

"The announcement will be made in three days... Great, at least there's something to look forward to!"

Many forces, especially those human forces that had made almost no achievements in the previous Martial Soul Ranking and Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at that moment.

Hope was rekindled in my heart.

After all, which power doesn't have a few promising young geniuses?

This list of geniuses seems to be a stage where they can participate and potentially gain glory.

However, this spark of hope had only just been ignited.

They were quickly jolted awake by the harsh reality.

"Wait, the Genius Ranking also includes Soul Beasts..."

"Don't forget those two from the Star Dou Great Forest, Lu Youyou and Lu Lingtian..."

"And then there were those terrifying beings on the previous Soul Beast Bloodline Ranking, like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion..."

"With their bloodline, talent, and that incredible soul beast bloodline, their top rankings are probably a foregone conclusion, right?"

"Sigh, it seems that we can only compete for the lower ranks on this genius list at best."

A sense of helplessness and powerlessness spread once again.

The unparalleled power displayed by the Soul Beast race weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like an insurmountable mountain.

People realized that even at the level of "genius".

Humanity also seems to be facing enormous challenges.

……

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

Xuanzi saw the preview of the genius ranking.

His previously dejected spirits suddenly lifted, and he slapped his thigh hard, speaking in a loud voice.

"A genius ranking! Hahaha! This is great! When it comes to geniuses in the world, if Shrek Academy claims second place, who dares to claim first?"

"The inner and outer courtyards are teeming with geniuses!" "In my opinion, at least half of these top twenty will be from Shrek Academy!"

His words carried a hint of alcohol, but even more so, the confidence and pride that Shrek had accumulated over millennia.

In his view, Shrek Academy has gathered the most outstanding young soul masters on the continent.

The Genius Ranking should rightfully be Shrek Academy's stage to showcase its prowess.

However, Moon, who was sitting at the head of the table, slowly shook his head, pouring cold water on the situation.

"Xuanzi, don't be blindly optimistic."

"Have you forgotten the criteria for the Golden List? It covers all living beings, including soul beasts."

"Lu Youyou and Lu Lingtian are probably extremely young for soul beasts, but their strength and potential are already so terrifying. How could their overall score be low?"

"And then there's that mysterious three-eyed golden lion, whose bloodline is the embodiment of the power of destiny, its talent is beyond doubt."

"In addition, the 'geniuses' cultivated by the Holy Spirit Cult through evil secret methods, although their foundation is unstable, may not be weak in terms of soul power level and short-term burst power."

"We at Shrek Academy have many geniuses, but it's difficult for them to occupy half of the top twenty spots."

Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement, his expression solemn: "What the teacher said is absolutely right. Moreover, the evaluation criteria of the Golden List also include 'rule affinity', 'mentality and willpower', etc., which are not simply based on soul power level and martial soul quality."

“Yuhao and Dong’er naturally have a very high chance, but other geniuses may also have a chance. We need to take our opponents seriously, especially… the opponents on the side of the soul beasts.”

Xian Lin'er sighed: "It seems that the competition on this genius ranking will be even more intense than we imagined."

"The intervention of soul beasts has completely changed the rules of the game."

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi opened his mouth.

Unable to refute it in the end, he sat back down somewhat dejectedly.

He picked up the gourd and took another swig.

But the confidence in his eyes had faded considerably.

Instead, a sense of worry arose.

Moon's words were like a thorn, piercing the hearts of all the members of the Sea God Pavilion.

Make them realize it.

The challenges Shrek faces in the new era are far more severe than imagined.

……

Meanwhile, in the secret chamber of the Sea God Pavilion.

Just as the outside world was buzzing with discussion about the preview of the genius list.

Inside the secret room, Wang Dong'er lay in a deep sleep.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally slowly opened her eyes.

Those were eyes that seemed no different from before, yet they also seemed to contain the vastness of the stars and the sea, and endless vicissitudes.

The complete awakening of the Sea God Martial Soul and the lifting of the memory seal allowed Wang Dong'er to...

Or rather, after regaining her memories as Tang Wutong, the daughter of the Sea God, her temperament underwent a subtle yet profound change.

He's lost some of his youthful exuberance.

It possesses a more divine grace and tranquility.

An aura of all-encompassing, sacred, and vastness subtly emanates from him.

She sat up, feeling the surging soul power within her body, which was many times more refined and vast than before.

And as the flood of memories—Tang Wutong's ten-thousand-year-old memories and Wang Dong'er's memories of her school life—drew through her mind, a brief look of bewilderment and loneliness flashing across her eyes.

"Daughter of the Sea God... Tang Wutong... Wang Dong'er..."

She murmured the two names softly.

A complex smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The sudden change in her identity and the overwhelming amount of information left her feeling somewhat lost and disoriented.

But soon, she took a deep breath.

His gaze gradually became firm and clear.

"Whether I am Tang Wutong or Wang Dong'er, I am who I am. Memories will not change my essence, and identity will not sever my past."

"The friendships I formed with Yuhao, Xiaoxiao, and the others during my time at Shrek Academy were real and precious."
