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

Chapter 58 The Mysterious First Place

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Upon seeing the name "Qian Renxue," Bibi Dong's delicate body, which was originally filled with murderous intent and icy coldness, trembled almost imperceptibly.

A complex and unfathomable light flashed across her deep phoenix eyes.

There is a deep-seated hatred, a fleeting pain, and a cold indifference.

But in that deepest, darkest place, there seemed to be a trace of maternal longing that she herself was unwilling to admit.

She quickly composed herself and regained her aloof papal authority.

Only the knuckles of the fingers holding the scepter were even paler.

Looking at the "sixty-first place" and "third place", she felt little joy, but rather a strange sense of irritation.

Even Xue'er... could only come in third?

……

Worship Hall.

The moment Qian Daoliu saw his granddaughter's name, a smile of relief and pride finally appeared on his usually expressionless face.

But when he saw that his ranking was "third", his smile suddenly froze.

His brows were furrowed tightly, like a tightly locked lock.

"Third...how could it be third?"

His heart was filled with confusion and a hint of solemnity.

"Xue'er possesses innate level 20 full soul power, a six-winged angel martial soul, a Soul Emperor, and is the chosen successor of the Angel God... In this world, are there actually two people whose talents surpass hers?"

His gaze seemed to pierce through the roof of the palace, fixed intently on the sky.

Who are the top two...?
Could it be that, besides the God of Angels, there are other deities whose successors have appeared in this world?

An unprecedented sense of urgency and crisis lingered in the mind of this Limit Douluo.

……

In the Heavenly Dou Empire, there was a forest.

Disguised as Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue felt the vast golden light merge into her body, and her soul power broke through to level sixty-four.

The leap in the quality of her spirit rings, especially the improvement in her innate domain, made her connection with the Angel Godhood even clearer and closer.

Her stunningly beautiful face remained largely unmoved, as if all of this was perfectly natural.

However, the ranking of "third place" was like a thorn, piercing her proud heart.

From a young age, her grandfather told her that she was a chosen one, a person selected by the gods, and destined to stand at the pinnacle of the continent.

But now, this list of geniuses tells her that there are two people above her?
Her golden eyes, which held a sense of holiness and majesty, narrowed slightly as she looked toward the direction of Beidou Academy.

It also seems to pierce through the void, looking towards the unknown first and second.

"No matter who you are, I, Qian Renxue, will surpass you. The glory of the Angel God is not to be desecrated."

……

The entire continent was shaken by Qian Renxue, the hidden Soul Emperor.

But many more people turned their curious and fearful gazes toward the yet-to-be-revealed top two.

Even Qian Renxue, who possesses innate level 20 soul power, a god-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, and the Soul Emperor status, can only rank third!

So what exactly are the first and second?

Could it really be a reincarnation of a god?
The sky seemed to sense this intense anticipation and fear that had reached its peak.

The boiling golden light began to collapse and condense inward, as if it were nurturing the first ray of light that pierced the heavens and the earth.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of millions, the information for the second place was revealed.

It descended in a magnificent manner, carrying an aura that seemed capable of subjugating all elements!

[Genius Ranking, Second Place: Ao Yin!]

[Soul Power Level: Level 56, Power Attack Type Battle Soul King]

[Martial Soul: Elemental Dragon (God-level Martial Soul)]

[Affiliation: Beidou Academy]

[Evaluation: Possessing the power of the fundamental elements of heaven and earth—earth, water, fire, wind, light, and darkness—he becomes the master of the elements, achieving unparalleled control and destructive power in his generation, with unfathomable potential.]

[Rewards: Soul Power increased by three levels, all Soul Rings increased by 10,000 years, a top-tier 90,000-year dragon Soul Bone awarded, Elemental Affinity permanently increased by 50%, and Innate Domain power doubled.]

"An elemental dragon? Controlling all primordial elements?" "After receiving the reward, I'm only one step away from becoming a Soul Emperor!"

"Another divine-level martial soul! The second divine-level martial soul in Beidou Academy!"

"He's also number one on the Special Martial Soul Ranking! One is number one, and the other is number two—this talent is just too heaven-defying!!"

"Second place... If he's only second? Then what about first place..."

The mainland has fallen into a state of speechlessness.

Ao Yin's existence has once again redefined people's understanding of the word "genius".

The Elemental Dragon wields multiple primal powers.

Number one on the Special Martial Soul Ranking.

Second on the list of geniuses.

With such talent, his cultivation speed is probably even more terrifying than Qian Renxue's!
Everyone realized that this was not just a Soul Master, but more like a walking natural disaster, an embodiment of the elements!

....
Deep within the Beidou Academy.

Ao Yin, dressed in a blue robe, stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. His handsome and slightly unruly face showed little surprise at his second-place ranking.

"The second one... is interesting."

He murmured to himself, and various colored elemental points of light around him seemed to leap and submit like elves.

Golden light enveloped his body, and his aura surged at an astonishing speed, instantly breaking through the level 56 bottleneck and reaching level 59.

He's only one level away from becoming a true Soul Emperor!
His spirit ring's age increased dramatically, and a dragon claw spirit bone, radiating a nine-colored aura and seemingly containing the primal power of earth, water, fire, and wind, merged into his right arm.

This allowed him to reach a completely new level in his perception and control of the elements of heaven and earth.

He felt the surging, roaring power of the elements within him, as if they were his own arms, and his eyes gleamed with confidence.

Secondly, it doesn't represent the end, but rather another starting point.

……

Wuhun Temple.

Bibi Dong looked at Ao Yin's information and her heart sank to the bottom. Yet another god-level martial soul.

It's Beidou Academy again!

His strength is close to that of a Soul Emperor!

He's still ranked first on the Special Martial Soul Ranking; this kid's threat level is even higher than Ye Lingling's.

She could almost foresee that this child, once he grew up, would become the biggest obstacle to the Spirit Hall's conquest of the continent!

Qian Daoliu remained silent for a long time inside the offering hall.

Elemental Dragons...

He had only seen vague records of this kind of martial spirit in the oldest ancient books.

It was considered a near-legendary existence, but unexpectedly it has actually appeared in the world.

“Ao Yin…Beidou Academy…Li Bai…”

He murmured those names, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"It seems that the mainland is really about to undergo a tremendous change that has not been seen in thousands of years."

Now, all the suspense is over.

All eyes were on that one mystery yet to be solved, the one that hung high above all the geniuses…

The position of leader!

Above the sky, all the golden light seemed to converge at the very center.

That single point of light, pure and ultimate, was like the first ray of light at the beginning of creation, containing infinite mysteries and supreme majesty.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, there are millions of living beings.

Whether human or spirit beast, titled Douluo or ordinary mortal, everyone held their breath at this moment, awaiting the final answer.

That one who overpowered twin martial souls, surpassed the god-level martial souls Six-Winged Angel and Elemental Dragon, and topped the genius list...

Who is it?

The golden light burst forth completely, transforming into a name that illuminated the heavens!
