Douluo Continent, Xuanwu Gate clashes, but exposed by the Heavenly Ranking.

"Your Highness, you mean to..."

With Orange's intelligence and understanding of Snow Moon, she could naturally guess what the person in front of her wanted to do.

"Time waits for no one. If the hidden strength of the Tian Ce Mansion is truly exposed, it will inevitably make some people wary."

If she could abandon the plan and choose to leave out of fear, that would be ideal.

But if they played dirty and destroyed Heaven Dou City before leaving, that would be a huge loss!

The person Xueyue was referring to was naturally Qian Renxue, who had been an undercover agent in Tiandou for many years.

"Therefore, I must resolve this problem before the Heavenly Path Golden Ranking is revealed!"

"Understood, Your Highness. What should we do next?"

Xueyue: "Use the soul tool to secretly contact the people inside Tiandou City and tell them to prepare."

After I take down Qian Renxue, I will have them control the palace and the court. No matter what happens outside, things must not fall into chaos inside.

As long as the imperial edict is successfully issued, everything will be fine!

After making the arrangements, while Ju Zi went to contact the secret agents inside Tian Dou City, Xue Yue transformed into a streak of light and flew directly to the Jixia Academy, which was built on the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

……

The Jixia Academy was built against the mountain.

The entire academy is a very standard Chinese ancient building complex.

With its upturned eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, and vermilion palace walls stretching for miles, the palaces rise layer upon layer along the mountainside, arranged in a harmonious and orderly fashion.

From a high altitude, the thousands of palaces and buildings are hidden in the swirling clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura, possessing a grand and majestic air reminiscent of a cultivation sect, far surpassing the ordinary soul master academies of the Douluo Continent.

This is the foundation upon which Xueyue cultivates talent.

Those who can emerge from here are the most loyal of his own people!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the Whampoa Military Academy of the Douluo Continent.

It is completely different from the academies in Douluo Continent that solely train Soul Masters.

Based on her past life's experience, Xueyue built the Jixia Academy, which not only had ample funds and a strong teaching staff, but also divided into two departments: literature and martial arts.

Wu Ke devoted himself to cultivating his soul power and refining his combat skills.

The humanities, on the other hand, delve into the study of governing the country and managing state affairs.

It can govern the country and manage affairs, and it can also study arable land. Its outstanding feature is its comprehensiveness, cultivating talents in all walks of life.

With no expense spared, and after several years of accumulation, the Jixia Academy, like a continuous stream of fresh water, has provided Xueyue with countless talents in both literature and martial arts.

However, since this was a coup d'état, civil officials could not be relied upon, and the task of personnel had to be placed on military officers.

Jixia Academy, Senior High School Martial Arts Training Ground.

A gentle breeze swept across the smooth bluestone training ground, creating a soft rustling sound, but it could not disperse the soul power rising from the field.

In the center of the playground, a tall and upright figure stood out.

Her white hair fell to her shoulders, her blue clothes were as white as snow, and her whole demeanor was as cold and aloof as jade, with no warmth in her eyes or brows.

This person is none other than Wu Changkong, the swordsmanship instructor of Jixia Academy and a level 98 Title Douluo!

Like Ju Zi, Wu Chang Kong was also one of the people Xue Yue randomly selected by chance.

At this moment, Wu Changkong was carefully guiding the students of the elite class to temper their soul power and hone their soul skills.

The elite class of Jixia Academy has always been the core foundation of the academy.

Unlike regular classes with dozens of students, each year's elite class has very few students, ranging from a minimum of one person to a maximum of seven.

Yet these few people are all exceptional geniuses, one in a million!

It boasts the most advanced resources and top-notch teachers in the academy.

Based on the experience of the past few years, as long as you can get into the elite class, you are guaranteed to be a Contra Master in the future.

This year's elite Class 1 of the senior year is a collection of exceptionally talented young geniuses.

Long Aotian is tall and has a majestic physique.

Ye Guyi has exquisite features, and his eyes exude a righteous and awe-inspiring aura, even a touch of evil in his righteousness.

Ma Xiaotao successfully evolved her martial soul and mastered the ultimate fire by consuming the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower.

In addition, there is Ji Juechen, who has extremely high swordsmanship talent; Ling Luochen, who cultivates at an extremely fast pace; Ye Lingling, who possesses the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul; and Dugu Yan, who was forcibly inserted into the group by Dugu Bo.

With such a configuration, it's safe to say that there's a wealth of talent!

Their talent was already quite high, and after Xueyue's systematic training, their soul power cultivation became ridiculously high.

With their strength, apart from Ye Lingling of the healing class, any one of the rest could easily defeat seven opponents and sweep away the participating teams from other Soul Master academies.

Including the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, on which Bibi Dong placed high hopes!

However, in order to conceal his strength, although he possessed the skill to slay dragons, he could only stay in the academy and bury himself in cultivation.

That makes sense, though.

Geniuses don't take advantage of their prime years to hone their skills and transform themselves into strong individuals in the shortest time.

Are you suggesting I should abandon my talents and go undercover instead?

On the other side of the playground, on the viewing platform, two figures stood quietly, their gazes fixed on the training ground.

One of them is the Vice Dean of the Jixia Academy, the Poison Immortal whose cultivation is unfathomable.

The other person was Dugu Bo, who was very willing to give up his Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes early on.

Unlike the weakest Title Douluo in the original work, Dugu Bo, under Xue Yue's tutelage, has accumulated strength over the years and his cultivation has improved extremely rapidly!

With two titled Douluo presiding over this place, it should have been a solemn and serious scene, but today the martial arts arena was filled with a sense of distraction.

In fact, it wasn't just them. Ever since the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, which hung high in the nine heavens, appeared, everyone in the entire Douluo Continent had been inevitably moved by the list.

The upcoming "Stronger Ranking" is highly anticipated by countless people.

On the training ground, Ye Guyi and the others seemed to be circulating their soul power and practicing moves according to Wu Changkong's guidance.

However, compared to the past, there was less focus in his eyes, and his mind was completely on the Heavenly Path Golden List.

In fact, it wasn't just these teenagers; even Du Busi, Dugu Bo, and Wu Changkong were somewhat distracted at this moment.

They weren't too worried about whether they would make the list.

After all, with their cultivation level, even if they couldn't make it onto the Heavenly Ranking, making it onto the Earthly Ranking wouldn't be a problem at all.

What I'm really worried about is whether the appearance of the Heavenly Ranking will ruin His Highness Prince Qin's plans.

"What a turbulent time!"

Taking advantage of Wu Changkong's distraction, Dugu Yan, whose mind was rather restless, nudged Ma Xiaotao beside her and couldn't help but speak up.

"Xiao Tao, you've become so wicked, it's okay if you practice less, just talk to me!"

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

Sister, are you always so direct?

However, even though her size could easily surpass Dugu Yan's, the thought of Ju Zi still made Ma Xiaotao feel a surge of anger!

She was the first one summoned by His Highness, but because of her age, she can only come here to study!

If I were a few years older when I was summoned...

"Who is the Princess Consort of Qin? That's still uncertain!"

……

"Xiao Tao, do you think this Heavenly Ranking is real or fake?"

"It should be true, right? To be able to influence an entire planet, that would have to be a power possessed by a god, something a Limit Douluo couldn't do!"

Dugu Yan: "I also think it's true, but there are only thirty spots in total. Who do you think will make the list?"

I wonder where our faculty members would rank!

Speaking of rankings, not only Ma Xiaotao, but also Long Aotian, who was tall and had unruly red hair, immediately became interested.

"I can't speak for others, but I'm certain that our academy will have at least two people on the Heavenly Ranking!"
