Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 54 The Madman Dai Mubai
Everyone present watched with bated breath.

Envy was evident in Dugu Yan's eyes.

Although she is already a Soul King, she only has one ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Zhu Zhuqing's fourth and fifth spirit rings are at least ten thousand years old!
The black color of the spirit rings is getting deeper and deeper, indicating that their age is constantly increasing.

Ten thousand years, fifteen thousand years, twenty thousand years...

Zhu Zhuqing's body began to tremble slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

It's clear that she's approaching the limit her body can currently withstand.

Finally, when the age limit for spirit rings was around 25,000 years.

The dazzling golden light slowly receded.

A deep, black spirit ring hovered steadily beneath Zhu Zhuqing's feet.

It complements her original four spirit rings, radiating powerful spirit energy fluctuations.

Congratulations, Zhu Qing!

Ning Rongrong was the first to cheer and run over.

"A fifth spirit ring with a lifespan of 25,000 years... Impressive!"

Dugu Yan also sincerely praised it.

There was no jealousy in his eyes, only joy at his companions becoming stronger.

Although Ye Lingling was quiet, she gave Zhu Zhuqing a faint, encouraging smile.

Zhu Zhuqing felt the surging power within her body, as well as the right leg soul bone that brought her extreme speed.

There's also this fifth spirit ring, which far exceeds the limits of ordinary spirit kings.

Even his usually aloof face couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement and joy.

She took a deep breath and solemnly bowed to her friends and teachers around her.

……

Compared to the joy and excitement of Beidou Academy.

The atmosphere inside the Spirit Hall's Papal Palace had almost reached freezing point.

Bibi Dong sat on the papal throne, looking at the name "Zhu Zhuqing" on the sky and the affiliation of "Beidou Academy".

There's also the "level 50" soul power level and the "eighth place" ranking.

Her heart was in turmoil.

She recognized the surname and the martial spirit. "Zhu," the Netherworld Cat, was the inherited martial spirit of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire.

This family has been intermarrying with the Dai family for generations, jointly ruling the Star Luo Empire.

This Zhu Zhuqing must be someone related to the Xingluo royal family!
However, this kind of martial spirit is definitely not among the top-tier martial spirits; it exists more as an appendage and complement to the Evil-Eyed White Tiger.

However, this very girl actually broke through to the Soul King realm.

Moreover, in Tianmu's evaluation, her talent actually surpassed that of the golden generation she had carefully cultivated!
How could this keep Bibi Dong calm?

"Beidou Academy...it's Beidou Academy again!"

Bibi Dong felt an increasingly strong sense of crisis.

This suddenly emerging academy first had top-tier martial soul possessors like Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.

Now, another unconventional Zhu Zhuqing has emerged.

How many more unknown geniuses and powerful figures are they hiding?
When she saw the reward of the "divinely bestowed soul ring," her pupils contracted sharply.

She is undergoing the test of the Rakshasa God!
He naturally knew exactly what a divinely bestowed soul ring was!
That was a divine gift that even she longed for but could not obtain!

This genius ranking actually rewards things like this?

"If... if I can achieve a ranking on the subsequent power rankings, will I also be able to obtain a divinely bestowed soul ring?"

A thought began to grow wildly in her mind.

"If I could get a few more, my second martial soul..."

She seemed to see her second martial soul with an additional 100,000-year-old divinely bestowed soul ring.

What an incredibly powerful force that would be!

But then, a deeper sense of unease welled up inside him.

Such a precious divinely bestowed soul ring was actually rewarded to Zhu Zhuqing, a girl whose martial soul was not even the most outstanding?
This further proves that this girl must have extraordinary abilities. The ranking is not based solely on martial spirit and level, but rather on a combination of factors such as temperament, perseverance, and breakthrough rate.

……

Worship Hall.

"It seems that Beidou Academy possesses more geniuses and secrets than I imagined..."

Qian Daoliu looked at the list and sighed inwardly.

A strong sense of crisis urged him to speed up his pace.

His eyes sharpened, and he had already made up his mind: "It seems it's time to summon Xue'er back from the Heaven Dou Empire. The plan must be accelerated."

"Only by enabling Xue'er to complete the Angel God Trial as soon as possible and attain godhood can we cope with any possible changes and ensure that the position of our Spirit Hall is unshakeable!"

……

Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai stared intently at the name "Zhu Zhuqing" on the sky.

He was struck dumb, frozen in place.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and a near-collapse-like disorientation.

"No...it can't be...how could it be her?"

He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse.

He knew that name all too well; it was his fiancée, whom he had never met but was engaged to!

Back then, it was because of his fear of family rules and his uncertainty about the future that he chose to escape.

He came to Shrek Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire alone.

In his memory, Zhu Zhuqing should still be in the Star Luo Empire, struggling under those cruel rules.

It's impossible for one's strength to surpass that of oneself.

but……

What are the facts before our eyes?
Zhu Zhuqing, who is a few years younger than him, has now broken through to the Soul King realm.

He even made it to eighth place on the genius list!
He obtained a divinely bestowed soul ring and a 50,000-year-old soul bone!
And what about himself?
He hasn't even broken through to the Soul Master level yet!
This immense sense of loss was like a heavy hammer blow, shattering his self-comforting pride and excuses for escaping reality.

Intense regret, resentment, shame, and a hint of indescribable fear overwhelmed him in an instant.

He looked at his slightly trembling hands and realized it more clearly than ever before.

His former fiancée, whom he had once chosen to abandon, had left him far behind at a speed he could never have imagined.

"Zhu Qing..."

He let out a low growl, his eyes bloodshot, the intense stimulation almost causing him to lose control.

Upon seeing this, Ma Hongjun and Oscar quickly stepped forward and held him down.

"Boss Dai, calm down!"

"Yeah, Boss Dai, maybe it's just a coincidence of names..."

But even they themselves didn't believe it when they said that.

The martial spirit is the Netherworld Cat, and the surname is Zhu. What a coincidence!
Yu Xiaogang looked at the distraught Dai Mubai, then at the sky, his brows furrowed on his stiff face.

Zhu Zhuqing's inclusion on the list, and her astonishing improvement, once again demonstrate the terrifying ability of Beidou Academy to cultivate its students.

His pride in his theory of martial spirits was crumbling under this series of blows.

Flander looked bitter. He had thought that the academy was already amazing enough with Tang San and a few other little monsters.

But now compared to Beidou Academy...

Above the sky, the golden light did not stop after the announcement of the eighth place; instead, it surged even more fiercely.

Information about the seventh-ranked team has begun to be gathered.

The attention of the entire continent was once again firmly drawn.

We eagerly await the unveiling of the next name, and we look forward to this mind-blowing list of geniuses.

To whom will that supreme glory be bestowed in the end?
