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

Chapter 84 The Sealed Soul Beast Cub
The beam of light was an intensely fiery golden-red.

Within that extreme heat, a sinister aura, originally hidden but now activated and purified, faintly emanated.

[Douluo Continent Genius Ranking, 11th Place: Ma Xiaotao!]

Within the pillar of light, it seemed as if a gigantic phoenix phantom was raising its head and letting out a long cry that shook the surrounding area.

The phoenix's wings were made of the purest flames, radiating a terrifying power capable of incinerating everything.

"Ma Xiaotao! It's that fire demon from Shrek Academy's inner court!"

"The Fiery Phoenix has been purified? My god, this reward is incredible!"

"No wonder she's ranked eleventh! Ma Xiaotao, who eliminates the hidden dangers of evil fire, is practically a human-shaped natural disaster!"

The entire continent was shaken once again!

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

When they saw Ma Xiaotao's name and that golden-red pillar of light...

All the elders were stunned at first, then burst into huge joy!

"Xiao Tao! It's Xiao Tao!"

Yan Shaozhe's voice trembled with excitement.

As Ma Xiaotao's teacher, he knew all too well what the evil fire meant to his disciple.

That was not only an obstacle to her cultivation, but also a sword hanging over her head!

Now, this biggest worry has actually been solved by the Golden List!
Xian Lin'er's face was also beaming with joy: "That's wonderful! The evil fire is completely gone, and I've transformed into a pure fire phoenix!"

"Little Peach can finally soar through the heavens without any worries!"

"Her future will surely go much further than ours!"

Even Moon, who was in the main seat.

A genuine smile and a sense of relief appeared on his face.

He said slowly, "Xiao Tao has turned misfortune into blessing. The evil fire tempered her will, and today she has been purified and is emerging from the abyss like a dragon."

"Eleventh place, well deserved, this is Shrek's good fortune."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er below were extremely happy for Ma Xiaotao.

Huo Yuhao still remembered the painful sight of Ma Xiaotao, tormented by the evil fire, when he first met her.

Now all the hidden dangers are gone!

He was genuinely happy for this senior student who had a fiery personality but a kind heart.

Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, where Ma Xiaotao was in seclusion.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was completely enveloped by the golden-red reward beam.

The surging, magma-like, yet gloomy soul power within her body, under the influence of the Golden List's power...

The impurities and evil elements within were completely stripped away and purified.

Only the most primal and explosive pure fire power remains!
The phantom of a fiery phoenix behind her.

The dark red, sinister light that had originally clung to the edges of the feathers completely faded away.

The entire phoenix turned golden-red, sacred and noble, radiating a breathtakingly pure fiery pressure!
"what!"

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but let out a long howl.

This howl was no longer the same as before, a wail filled with pain and repression.

Instead, it was a phoenix's cry filled with joy, freedom, and endless delight!
She could clearly feel that the evil fire that had troubled her for more than a decade, making her constantly on edge and even afraid to use her full strength, had disappeared!

Totally gone!
Tears streamed uncontrollably down Ma Xiaotao's cheeks, but they were tears of joy.

She clenched her fists tightly, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease and power within her, and murmured softly, her voice choked with sobs.

"It's gone...it's really gone...thank you...thank you..."

She looked up at the golden list in the sky, her eyes filled with gratitude and determination.

From today onwards, Ma Xiaotao will be reborn!
The core of the Starry Sky Forest is the Lake of Life.

The light of the golden list pierced through the layers of tree canopy.

The name of Ma Xiaotao and the phantom of the reborn pure fire phoenix were clearly reflected on the calm lake surface.

Gu Yuena gazed at the golden list with her purple eyes, her tone calm and unwavering: "Another human genius has received a stroke of good fortune, the evil fire has been completely extinguished, a pure fire phoenix... The power of this golden list is truly beyond imagination." Her words revealed no emotion, as if she were simply stating a fact.

Lu Chen stood beside her, his hands behind his back.

Their gaze did not linger on the list of successful candidates.

Instead, it plunged into the deep bottom of the Lake of Life, seemingly able to penetrate the layers of water.

To see something deeper.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, asking a seemingly unrelated question:

"Na'er, Xiao Lin... he should be waking up soon, right?"

Gu Yuena was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

She immediately understood what Lu Chen meant, and a barely perceptible hint of gentleness flashed across her cold face.

"Yes, I checked yesterday. The rampant bloodline power in his body has basically subsided and has been perfectly integrated."

"He has completely absorbed the medicinal power of that 'Chaos Returning to Origin Pill'."

"Considering the time, after sleeping for nearly a thousand years, it is indeed time for it to emerge."

Lu Chen nodded, a hint of emotion in his eyes: "Di Tian and Zi Ji's bloodlines are both too domineering. One is the strongest Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and the other is the Hell Demon Dragon King. The two top-level dragon bloodlines were forcibly fused together. No wonder this child almost collapsed due to bloodline conflict when he was first born."

He recalled that scene from nearly a thousand years ago.

The only child of Di Tian and Zi Ji was unable to withstand the attack of two completely different, yet equally violent, top-tier dragon bloodlines at birth.

The young dragon's body was about to be torn to pieces almost the instant it was born.

At the critical moment, Lu Chen used his supreme divine power, along with a "Chaos Returning to Origin Pill" that he had painstakingly refined.

Forcibly sorting out and harmonizing the two conflicting bloodline forces.

This led to a strange transformation and fusion.

This process is extremely dangerous.

In order to save the child's life, and in order to allow him to perfectly inherit and surpass the power of his parents.

Di Tian and Zi Ji ultimately decided that Lu Chen and Gu Yue Na would join forces to seal it in the deepest part of the Lake of Life's origin.

Nourish him with the purest life energy, and wait for the day he breaks out of his cocoon and becomes a butterfly.

"After nearly a thousand years of slumber, nourished by the essence of the Lake of Life, and with the power of the Chaos Returning to Origin Pill, he turned misfortune into blessing. His bloodline not only stabilized, but also underwent a benign mutation."

Lu Chen said slowly.

“Once he is born, his potential will probably be no less than that of Youyou and Lingtian.”

Gu Yuena nodded slightly in agreement.

It was precisely because of Lu Chen's existence that the difficulties faced by the soul beast race, especially the top-tier soul beasts, in reproducing were greatly alleviated.

The more powerful and top-tier the bloodline of a soul beast, the more difficult it is to reproduce.

Offspring are highly susceptible to premature death due to bloodline conflicts or insufficient energy.

However, Lu Chen's methods can effectively harmonize bloodlines and replenish one's essence.

This allows powerful figures like Di Tian and Zi Ji to have offspring.

And their descendants' talents surpassed even their teachers'.

It can be said that, because of Lu Chen, these ferocious beasts in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest have truly seen the hope for the continuation of their race and even greater prosperity.

"With Xiao Lin awakened, Di Tian and Zi Ji must be very happy."

Gu Yuena said softly.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, "With Youyou and Lingtian as role models, Xiao Lin probably won't be too lonely."

While the two were talking.

Deep within the heart of the Lake of Life!
The dragon cocoon, enveloped in life energy so concentrated it had almost liquefied, seemed to tremble slightly.

A faint, yet powerful, heartbeat, emanating from within, carried a powerful life force and a subtle dragon's might.

"Boom..."

Like a war drum that had been dormant for a thousand years, it was quietly sounded.

Lu Chen withdrew his gaze from the bottom of the lake.

He looked back at the golden list in the sky, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

Humans produce many geniuses, and naturally, the soul beast race cannot lag behind.

The future of Douluo Continent ultimately belongs to the Soul Beast race.
