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

Chapter 106 Long Xiaoyao Makes the List
Although Ye Xishui's Blood Soul Demon Puppet was powerful, it ultimately did not reach the level of ultimate attributes.

On a ranking list like the Gold List, which comprehensively assesses peak combat power, even the slightest difference can be magnified into a ranking order.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui's face turned even uglier, and her nails almost dug into her palms.

How could she not know the power of ultimate attributes?

However, such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by.

When Long Xiaoyao pointed out the key point, her resentment intensified, but she was powerless to refute this cruel reality.

Her attributes not reaching their full potential became a hindrance to her striving for a higher ranking!

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

Yan Shaozhe and the others were also surprised when they saw Ye Xishui's ranking.

"Ye Xishui... is actually ranked eleventh? And even after Long Xiaoyao and the teacher?"

Yan Shaozhe asked in confusion, "This doesn't match the order of the Soul Master Power Ranking."

Xian Lin'er pondered: "The combat power ranking looks at comprehensive combat ability, so the evaluation criteria may be different from those of the Soul Master ranking."

Moon's voice was calm, yet carried a clear understanding of the essence of things.

"Ye Xishui's strength is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of the continent."

"Her Blood Soul Demon Puppet is strange and powerful, with profound soul power. If it were to fight to the death, it would be extremely difficult to deal with."

"but……."

Moon then changed the subject, “Ultimate attributes represent the pinnacle of a certain power. Possessing ultimate attributes means having greater control, destructive power, and combat capability in the corresponding field.”

"My injuries have been fully healed, and the Holy Dragon of Light has transformed into the ultimate light. Its power in offense, defense, and purification of evil spirits is now incomparable to what it was before."

"Given the shift in power, in the ranking of the Golden List, my combat strength and that of Long Xiaoyao may indeed be slightly superior to Xishui's, hence my lower ranking."

Upon hearing this, the elders, including Elder Zhuang and Elder Song, nodded in agreement.

They were well aware of the terror of extreme attributes; it was a qualitative change.

Master Mu's analysis is reasonable and explains why Ye Xishui appeared on the list before Long Xiaoyao and Mu En.

Ye Xishui's inclusion on the list is like a stepping stone, vaguely revealing the importance that the Golden List of Combat Power places on the factor of "ultimate attributes".

This has made powerful figures on the mainland even more aware of the importance of this!
At their level!

Any improvement, however small, could lead to a significant change in rankings.

.......
at this time!

According to the rules, the cold and mighty voice of the Golden List once again resounded through the sky.

Will the Sea Princess, ranked twelfth on the power ranking, challenge Ye Xishui, ranked eleventh?

This question caused the various factions on the continent, whose emotions had been complicated by the appearance of powerful humans, to once again turn their attention to the endless, deep ocean.

Deep within the magnificent and dreamlike palace of the mermaids.

The sea princess listened to Jinbang's questions, her deep, ocean-like eyes remaining completely calm.

Her exquisite face held only a serene and clear expression.

Challenging Ye Xishui?
This thought didn't even linger in her mind for a moment.

She gently shook her head, as naturally as the ripples of the sea, her ethereal yet firm will spreading far and wide through the golden list.

"I reject."

Her reason was simple and pure.

The mermaid race has lived peacefully in the vast ocean since its birth, following the rhythm of nature and protecting the balance and tranquility of the sea.

They love life and sing praises of peace!
Its power is also more reflected in protecting, healing, and communicating with the will of the ocean.

Engage in life-or-death battles with human soul masters, especially with evil soul masters like Ye Xishui, who are known for their bloodthirstiness and cunning.

This was neither what she wanted nor did it go against the beliefs passed down through generations of the mermaid race.

The double rewards for the top scorers are certainly tempting.

But compared to the potential casualties, the enmity that may result, and the risk of deviating from the path of protecting the community.

This temptation was as light as a feather to her.

For her, being able to make the list to prove her strength and receive a reward that enhances the power of her tribe is enough.

The mermaid race's strength never comes from plunder and conflict, but from their symbiosis with and protection of the ocean. "Maintain the status quo and get what you deserve."

The sea princess silently prayed to herself.

Gentle ripples spread around him as he calmly absorbed the rewards bestowed by the Golden List.

The growth of our strength is for the purpose of better protecting this blue land.

Rather than using it for pointless conquests.

The sea princess's refusal did not cause much of a stir on the mainland.

The image of mermaids as reclusive and peaceful beings is deeply ingrained in people's minds, so it's understandable that they would make such a choice.

.........

"Boom boom boom!"

After a while.

The light in the tenth row of the Golden List completely condensed, its depths as profound as the eternal night, yet carrying a dragon's might that seemed to rule the world.

Extreme darkness does not appear filthy; on the contrary, it possesses a pure and oppressive majesty that causes light to distort and retreat.

[Power Ranking, 10th Place: Long Xiaoyao!]

[Affiliation: Holy Spirit Cult]

[Soul Power Level: Level 99, Limit Douluo]

[Martial Soul: Dark Holy Dragon (Ultimate Dark Attribute)]

[Combat Power Assessment: Having reached the pinnacle of soul power, cultivating dark power to its extreme, and controlling the pure source of darkness. His Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul combines the formidable strength of a supreme dragon with the corrosive and devouring characteristics of ultimate darkness, achieving a seamless blend of offense and defense; within its domain, all things return to stillness. Overall assessment: Ranked tenth.]

[Reward: A stable boost to ultimate darkness attribute, an 80,000-year-old soul bone, increased soul power purity, an increase of 17,000 years in the age of all soul rings, and a deeper understanding of the origin of darkness.]

"Long Xiaoyao! It's him!"

"Dark Holy Dragon! Ultimate Darkness!"

"Tenth place... Even he can only rank tenth?!"

"The top nine... Could it really be..."

When Long Xiaoyao's name and the ranking of "tenth" came into view, along with words like "Dark Holy Dragon" and "Ultimate Darkness",...

Instead of joy, all the human soul masters felt as if a heavy boulder had pressed down on them, causing them to sink instantly!
Long Xiaoyao, along with Mu En and Ye Xishui, is recognized as one of the three pinnacles in the human soul master world, standing at the very top of the pyramid.

Even now, a Limit Douluo like him, who possesses the ultimate dark attribute, can only barely rank tenth.

They were blocked from entering the top nine!
what does this mean?
This means that in the ranking of the Golden List, at least nine people possess combat power that firmly surpasses that of the strongest human Limit Douluo!

And these top nine seats are obvious even to a fool.

It is likely that the vast majority will be occupied by the top experts of the Soul Beast race!

Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, Emerald Swan Princess...

The mere thought of these names, possibly occupying the top nine positions, sent a chill down the spines of every human soul master.

This is a kind of despair from being absolutely crushed in strength, a suffocating feeling from having one's living space infinitely compressed!

.......
Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

The atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.

Yan Shaozhe spoke with difficulty: "Long Xiaoyao... tenth... It seems that the teacher's ranking is probably..."

He didn't say anything more, but the meaning was self-evident.

Mu En's strength is comparable to Long Xiaoyao's.

Long Xiaoyao ranked tenth, and Mu En, at best, would probably only be ninth, or even...

Xian Lin'er clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white: "The top nine, soul beasts... are we humans not even allowed to compete for a single place?"

Mu En himself remained relatively calm, and he slowly said, "It is reasonable for Xiaoyao to rank tenth."

"Judging from the rankings, considering both our overall performance and current strength, the ancient beings of the Soul Beast race truly possess a foundation far surpassing ours. There's no need to be overly discouraged; recognizing the gap is the only way to find our way forward."

Even so, the solemnity deep in his eyes remained undiminished.
