Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 108 Soul Beasts Make the List for the First Time, Humans Join Forces to Combat Them!
"boom--!!!"

If Bone Douluo's inclusion on the list brings a shock that redefines the top combat power of humanity.

The appearance of Zi Ji, and the fact that her race was clearly labeled "Soul Beast," was like pouring a ladle of ice water into a boiling oil pan, causing an uproar among the Douluo Continent community!
"The tenth...nineteenth is a soul beast! And a 350,000-year-old soul beast at that!"

"The Dark Demon Dragon! The ferocious beast Zi Ji from the Star Dou Great Forest! It's actually it! Soul beasts are starting to compete with us humans for the rankings!"

"350,000 years of cultivation! And what about 'Law Erosion', 'Abyss Dragon Devour', and 'Demonic Dragon Reverse Scale Armor'? How are we supposed to fight this?"

"A reward! The [Dark Prison Dragon Heart]! Permanently increases the power of dark attributes by 30%?! This... this is practically a divine artifact tailor-made for ferocious beasts!"

"This soul beast is incredibly powerful? But the problem is, how come even something like this is only ranked nineteenth? Just how many monsters are ahead of it...?"

Exclamations of surprise, horror, and incredulous roars swept across the continent once again.

Countless human soul masters, especially those soul hunters and mercenaries who spend their lives dealing with soul beasts, felt their scalps tingle and their worldviews collapse as they looked at the enchanting yet terrifying dragon shadow in the sky and the despairing data!
It turns out that the top beings among the soul beasts already possess such earth-shattering power, and can even be ranked alongside the strongest humans on the gold list!
……

Star Forest, Lake of Life.

When the name and image of Zi Ji appeared on the sky, the core circle erupted with a deafening dragon roar and beast howl!
"It's Zi Ji! Big Sister Zi Ji has made the list!" The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, Crimson King, roared excitedly, all three heads looking up at the sky.

"Nineteenth place! Hahaha! Let those despicable humans see the true strength of my Star Dou Great Forest!" Xiong Jun brandished his dark gold claws, his wild laughter shaking the ancient trees around him.

The Demon King's countless demonic eyes gleamed with excitement: "Good! Very good! Zi Ji's strength deserves this ranking! This reward is just what she needs!"

Biji's gentle eyes were also full of joy: "Sister Ziji's strength has improved so much, now our Star Dou is safer."

Di Tian raised his enormous dragon head slightly, a hint of satisfaction and pride flashing in his dazzling golden dragon eyes.

His deep voice resounded throughout the inner circle: "Zi Ji's inclusion on the list is well-deserved. This is the true display of the power of our Soul Beast race! Humans are ultimately nothing more than ants relying on external resources and numbers!"

His gaze swept over the other ferocious beasts, carrying an undeniable air of authority. "Just watch, this will not be the last!"

The enchanting and beautiful face of the Purple Princess was filled with surprise and excitement.

Feeling the surging thirty-five years of cultivation within her body and the two alluring phantom images of Heavenly Dao rewards, she couldn't help but let out a clear and resonant roar filled with dragon might!

She looked in the direction of Di Tian and Gu Yuena, her eyes filled with gratitude and fighting spirit: "My lord, I will live up to your expectations and let humanity witness the majesty of my Dark Dragon!"

With her silver hair and purple eyes, Gu Yuena stood quietly by the lake. Her beautiful face remained aloof, but a subtle, almost imperceptible ripple flickered deep within her eyes.

She nodded slightly, her clear, cold voice reaching the ears of every ferocious beast: "Zi Ji's performance was not bad. But this ranking is still too low. The Heavenly Dao... may not be entirely fair to my soul beast race."

Her words brought a touch of calm and a deeper sense of resentment to the excited beasts.

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong looked at the alluring yet dangerous Zi Ji in the sky, her fingers tightening slightly as she gripped the scepter.

A hint of solemnity and greed flashed in her bewitching eyes.

"A dark dragon that has existed for 350,000 years... the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest are indeed unfathomable."

Her voice was icy, tinged with a hint of apprehension, "If we could hunt it down and obtain its soul ring and soul bone..."

But the thought was fleeting; she knew all too well the price to pay for hunting such a ferocious beast.

Immediately, her gaze fell upon the generous rewards, and her tone carried a hint of command: "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, pass on the word: closely monitor the movements of the Star Dou Great Forest. If there's an opportunity... our Spirit Hall will also vie for the [Dark Prison Dragon Heart] and the [Seed of Eternal Night]!" Although she was shocked by the power of the spirit beasts, she harbored a predatory mentality, viewing them as resources.

……

Worship Hall.

A ripple finally appeared in Qian Daoliu's calm and unwavering eyes.

He gazed at the phantom of the dark dragon and slowly spoke: "Three hundred and fifty thousand years... the ultimate darkness... the Star Dou Great Forest actually has such a dragon race. Even the radiance of the Angel God must be wary of this ultimate darkness."

Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly, and the phantom of the Golden Crocodile King around him roared: "Hmph! Just a wicked dragon! If it encounters my Golden Crocodile King, I will definitely tear its scales apart! Ranked nineteenth? It seems this list is too lenient on my soul beasts!"

That being said, the seriousness in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

The other worshippers, including Qingluan, Xiongshi, Guangling, Qianjun, and Jiangmo, also had solemn expressions.

The fact that a soul beast has made the list, and such a powerful dragon-type beast at that, means that the competition in the future will be even more brutal and unpredictable.

……

Honkai Impact Academy, VIP Box.

Having just experienced setbacks and anger, Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at Zi Ji in the sky with mixed feelings.

"A dark dragon that has existed for 350,000 years..."

Ning Fengzhi gasped, "The strength of the Star Dou Great Forest is terrifying. It seems our understanding of them has been far too shallow."

Although Bone Douluo Gu Rong was in a bad mood, he couldn't help but grin when he saw Zi Ji's monstrous [Dragon Reverse Scale Armor] and powerful physique, who was also known for her "defense" skills:
"This mother dragon's shell is harder than my bones..."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, clutching the Seven Kill Sword, his gaze as sharp as ever: "A powerful soul beast... interesting. I wonder if my Seven Kill Sword can cut through her dragon scales and darkness."

His fighting spirit was not diminished in the slightest by the fact that his opponent was a soul beast.

……

Haotian Sect.

Tang Xiao and the elders exchanged glances, all of them seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Soul beasts... can also compete with us humans on the same rankings?"

An elder said in a hoarse voice.

The Seventh Elder, Lieyang Douluo, still had a fiery temper, but his tone also carried a hint of caution: "Three hundred and fifty thousand years... Damn, how many years has he lived? No wonder he's so powerful! But my Clear Sky Hammer can even smash gods, why would I be afraid of a dragon?"

Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Looking at the pure dark dragon and feeling the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus bloodline that he was so proud of, Yu Yuanzhen felt an indescribable sense of suffocation welling up in his heart.

The opponent's dragon might and bloodline level seem to... far surpass his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!

This caused him, the sect leader who was proud of his True Dragon Martial Soul, to feel a deep sense of defeat.

"A true dragon, is this the real top-tier dragon race?" he murmured to himself.
