Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 1: Creating a Divine Position, the Martial Soul Ranking Descends
Sunset Forest, Skywalk Academy.

The entire forest was bathed in sunshine, but the students inside the Tianxing Academy saw a completely different scene.

Countless lightning bolts struck down from the sky, coiling like dragons toward the azure figure in the heavens.

"Roar!"

The lightning tribulation was terrifyingly powerful, but the figure in green did not retreat but advanced, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he gripped a long sword and met the attack head-on.

The terrifying sword intent emanating from the longsword was enough to tear the heavens and earth apart.

"Zhu Qing, just what level has your cultivation reached, that it has attracted a tribulation of lightning!"

Ning Rongrong stood inside the academy's grand formation, looking up at that imposing figure.

"I don't know. After I awakened my martial soul, my teacher brought me to the academy, far away from the royal family's conflicts, but I have never seen my teacher release a soul ring."

Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing, whose figure was extremely exaggerated, shook her head, her eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, even Grandpa Sword couldn't force the teacher to show his strength. A few years ago, when I had just awakened my martial soul, the teacher came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and forcibly took me as his disciple. With Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone joining forces and my father's assistance, they couldn't even withstand a single move from the teacher."

Around Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling and others nodded in deep agreement.

The teacher's strength is definitely not that of an ordinary Title Douluo.

When they were accepted as disciples by their master, there were people who tried to stop them, but none of them could withstand a single move from him.

"Never mind the teacher for now. Have you finished your assignments to make two-word battle armor and level three soul tools?"

"The teacher said that we will check everyone's work tomorrow, and those who don't finish will be punished."

Xiao Wu hopped and skipped as she spoke, not forgetting to show off the two-word battle armor she had just finished making.

"Xiao Wu, you're being stubborn again! Take this!"

"Me too! We agreed to be punished together, but you little rabbit, you've become a rogue ninja again!"

The girls were playing and laughing together, creating a beautiful scene.

"Boom!"

The lightning was even more terrifying, and the figure in the sky couldn't help but curse under his breath.

His name is Li Tianyi. He transmigrated to the Douluo Continent a few years ago, bringing with him a system that allows him to recruit disciples and become stronger.

According to the timeline, they traveled here at the same time as Tang San when he awakened his martial soul.

The starting reward is the cultivation level of a Title Douluo, the twin martial souls "Double Pupils" and "Xuanyuan Sword", and all soul rings are terrifying existences of more than 100,000 years.

What if you're invincible from the start? Naturally, you should take advantage of the original character's youth, bring them back to the academy to become their disciple, and help them grow stronger.

The teenage Dugu Yanye Lingling, the ten-year-old sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, and Huo Wu.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and... who have just awakened their martial souls.

They forced Xiao Wu to transform and then tied her up.

It's that simple and crude.

Not convinced?
Go tell my double pupils and the Xuanyuan Sword.

After six years of training, his disciples were unparalleled geniuses, possessing everything from soul tools and battle armor to alchemy.

Even he himself, by creating his own godhood today, has attracted a heavenly tribulation, becoming the first terrifying existence in the Douluo Continent to create his own godhood through sheer strength.

"Sigh, I originally wanted to use the tribulation lightning to temper my physical body, but I didn't expect it to be so useless."

Dressed in blue, Li Tianyi smiled helplessly and swung the terrifying longsword in his hand, engraved with the words "Xuanyuan," directly at Lei Jie.

With a single sword strike, the arrogant lightning tribulation was shattered, leaving only that figure in green in the sky.

"Although the divine status is at the creation level, can it only exert the combat power of a priest now?"

Li Tianyi sighed, then returned to the academy.

……

"Da da da…"

Before long, the disciples, led by Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan, arrived at the pavilion where Li Tianyi was. "Disciples congratulate Master on his great increase in strength and wish him a long and healthy life!"

"Teacher, teacher, what level have you reached now? Just tell Rongrong, and Rongrong swears she will never tell anyone."

"Teacher, don't listen to her. Just tell me one person. I'm known throughout our college for being tight-lipped."

The women chattered and surrounded Li Tianyi. Li Tianyi looked at them and nodded with satisfaction.

The strongest among them is already a high-level Soul Emperor, and the weakest is at the Soul Sect realm. The oldest among them is only in his early 19s.

However, he remained serious and gave each of Shuiyue'er and Ning Rongrong, who were closest to him, a roasted chestnut.

"All you do all day is fool around. Have you finished the homework I assigned?"

Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and said confidently:

"Teacher, battle armor is too difficult to make. Why don't you make another five-word battle armor for me? I can observe it carefully and improve rapidly!"

"I still think soul tools are too difficult to make. Let the teacher make a level 10 soul tool instead."

"No, you don't understand how difficult it is to refine pills. The pill room is very hot, okay? Let your teacher refine a magic herb pill to nourish us."

The women, each with their own strengths, argued incessantly.

"So, you didn't do anything again?"

"Can't you guys have any sense of crisis? This is knowledge that outsiders can't even learn if they want to, but you guys are just slacking off all day long."

Although it was a reprimand, Li Tianyi was still not truly angry.

"Teachers are the best...hehe."

"By the way, what level have you reached in terms of soul guidance, battle armor, and alchemy, Teacher?"

This is definitely the issue that Zhu Zhuqing and his disciples are most concerned about.

"You all want to know?"

Li Tianyi smiled slightly, realizing that his current level was indeed quite high.

"Yes, teacher, please tell me..."

Ning Rongrong grabbed Li Tianyi's arm and shook it vigorously.

"Alright, alright, I am now a quasi-six-word battle armor master, a quasi-eleventh-level soul master, and a divine-grade alchemist. However, the materials on the Douluo Continent are too scarce, and I have been unable to break through for a long time."

"hiss…"

Everyone gasped. According to Li Tianyi, a four-word battle armor could already give an ordinary titled Douluo the combat power of a level 99 peerless Douluo, while a five-word battle armor could reach the god level.

So… what is the power of a quasi-six-word battle armor…?

Moreover, he also possesses an eleventh-level soul tool and divine-grade pills; the teacher's strength is truly terrifying.

"Perfect timing. I still have some materials left, enough to upgrade my five-word battle armor to a near-six-word battle armor."

"You can observe from the sidelines and how much you understand depends on your own destiny."

After Li Tianyi created his own godhood, the system rewarded him with a large number of rare metals and medicinal herbs. It was time to arm himself even stronger.

"Yes, teacher!"

Just as Li Tianyi stood up, the entire Douluo Star underwent a dramatic change in an instant.

A vast expanse of purple aura appeared in the sky, stretching for 30,000 miles in the east, as an enormous golden list materialized there.

The words above, written in a bold, flowing style, read: Martial Soul Ranking
It can be seen clearly from any direction.

The will of the Douluo Continent manifests, ranking the top twenty martial souls of the current era. Those who make the list will receive generous rewards…

Only one Soul Master of each type of Martial Soul can be listed on the rankings, which are based on Martial Soul strength, potential, and development level, etc.

[The quality of martial souls is divided into: Genesis-level, Super God-level, God-level, Super, Top-level, and Advanced.]

The Martial Soul Ranking will be officially released tomorrow…
