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

Chapter 21 Shui Bing'er's Talent, a Seventeen-Year-Old Soul Saint
Bibi Dong picked up the documents beside her and, in a fit of rage, shattered everything into pieces.

The entire Papal Palace was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and even breathing was clearly audible. No one dared to offend Bibi Dong, for fear of running into the line of fire.

In the far north, the Ice Emperor, the patriarch of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion clan, a loli-like figure, was furious.

"You damned Martial Soul Ranking, are you deliberately trying to cause me trouble?"

As a ferocious beast of over 400,000 years, when has the Ice Emperor ever suffered such humiliation?

"Ice Explosion"—these three soul skills, which broke her defenses at the mere mention of them, were the only regret in her long life.

The power of the Ice Blast spell is so terrifying that no one but her, as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, could possibly know it.

That's a true god-level soul skill. Even if the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion possesses such talent, its combat power in the far north would definitely not be much worse than that of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.

If the Ice Emperor also possessed such a secret manual, he would definitely be able to contend with ferocious beasts that are sixty or even seventy thousand years old.

"Xue'er, did you see that? A human soul master actually learned the Ice Explosion Technique! He deserves to die!"

"Aaaaaah! My Ice Blast! Ice Blast!"

The green twin-tailed loli who had transformed from Hyotei rolled around in the snow, unable to swallow her anger.

Seeing this, Xue Di, who was standing nearby, also comforted her in a gentle voice.

"Bing'er, isn't there a Soul Beast Ranking later? With your strength and cultivation, it won't be difficult for you to be among the top few. Are you worried that the Ice Blast Technique won't be among the rewards then?"

"That's right, you son of a bitch, you heard of the Martial Soul Ranking and the Soul Beast Ranking? If you don't give me the Ice Explosion Technique, see how I deal with you later!"

After Shui Bing'er received the reward from the Martial Soul Ranking at Tianxing Academy, her aura surged forth.

Her soul power level was already at the Soul Emperor level.

At only 16 years old, she is already a level 64 Soul Emperor, which shows how terrifying her talent is.

More importantly, this is not the result of her daily cultivation. At the academy, she also has to study soul tool making, soul master theory, and battle armor making during the day, which has already taken up most of her energy.

With the release of her seventh-level soul power, Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul appeared behind her, along with four soul rings: one yellow, two purple, and three black. In an instant, her cultivation reached the level of a quasi-soul saint at level 70.

With the increase in the age of her ten-thousand-year spirit rings, her spirit ring configuration changed to six black ones, six jet-black ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

At the same time, the Extreme Cold Ice Phoenix Martial Soul behind him let out an excited hiss, and the aura of the divine beast Martial Soul emanating from his body instantly suppressed Shui Yue'er and Dugu Yan, who both possessed beast Martial Souls.

Even Xiao Hongchen, who had just completed his martial soul evolution and whose three-legged golden toad had become a divine beast-level martial soul, felt a sense of pressure.

"Bing'er's martial soul quality is so high, my Poison Dragon martial soul is so severely suppressed."

Dugu Yan bent down, and the Poison Dragon Martial Soul on her back involuntarily possessed her. Although the Poison Dragon resisted with all its might, it still could not withstand the terrifying bloodline pressure emanating from the divine beast-level Martial Soul.

Shui Yue'er fared even worse. Her dolphin spirit was barely considered a high-level spirit, and before it could even transform into the top-level mermaid spirit, she was directly crushed to the ground by Shui Bing'er's spirit pressure.

She pouted, her face full of reluctance, while her right hand stubbornly held the unfinished chicken leg in mid-air.

"Seriously, how did I become the worst one among us? Let me up!"

However, Zhu Zhuqing was not suppressed by it. Instead, her Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul roared and resisted it effortlessly.

The next moment, all of Ice Phoenix's icy feathers fell off, forming a huge ice-blue cocoon around its body.

The next moment, the ice cocoon shattered instantly, and an even more magnificent ice phoenix flew out from it, its martial spirit aura surrounding it so oppressive that everyone was unable to lift their heads.

A God-King level martial soul is absolutely and unequivocally superior to martial souls of lower quality.

"Ouch, my dentures!"

Shui Yue'er had just managed to get up from the ground with great difficulty, but this sudden pressure knocked her to the ground again.

With a thud, she fell to the ground, her two front teeth hitting the dirt, and even the chicken leg in her hand slipped from her grasp and hit her head. Shui Bing'er floated in mid-air, her eyes closed and silent, and her entire appearance underwent a subtle change.

If Shui Bing'er's original temperament was that of an ethereal, aloof goddess, noble and arrogant.

She is now an empress, looking down on the world with her god-king level Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, as if nothing in the world can catch her eye.

A new ice-blue phoenix pattern appeared between her eyebrows, making her look even more extraordinary.

Before long, Shui Bing'er slowly opened her eyes and grabbed the reward floating in mid-air.

The 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso and soul bone, containing the Ice Explosion Technique and the Ice Attribute Domain, as well as that divinely bestowed soul ring in the shape of a brilliant golden sphere.

"Teacher, my soul power level has reached level 70."

Shui Bing'er opened her eyes and walked happily toward Li Tianyi.

"Not bad, not bad. A 16-year-old Soul Saint, a two-word Battle Armor Master, a level five Soul Master, and he can also refine quite a few ice-attribute pills. Very good."

Seemingly afraid that Shui Bing'er wouldn't believe him, Li Tianyi quickly pointed to Yun Ming, who was watching the show from the side.

"If you don't believe me, ask Teacher Yunming."

Shui Bing'er turned her head, her icy blue eyes filled with hope.

"Ahem, you do have a bit of my style from back in the day."

Yun Ming was not boasting; Shui Bing'er's comprehension was actually inferior to his.

He was sixteen years old, a level 69 Soul Saint, a two-word Battle Armor Master, and a level 5 Soul Master. He couldn't refine pills, and at first glance, he seemed inferior to Shui Bing'er.

As a current teacher at Tianxing Academy, he knew that the resources the dean had cultivated in these children were so vast that even Yun Ming, a genius who would be nurtured by all sides twenty thousand years later, would be envious.

If he had received so many resources from a young age, he would probably have ascended to the realm of gods by now.

Shui Bing'er was provoked by Yun Ming's words and turned to look at Li Tianyi.

"Your teacher Yunming's talent and comprehension are far beyond what you can compare to now."

Li Tianyi said with a smile.

"Is Teacher Yunming that strong?"

"Bing'er is already ranked seventh. According to what the teacher said, wouldn't Teacher Yunming be in the top five, or even the top three?"

"very possible!"

The women discussed among themselves, unanimously agreeing that Yun Ming must be so powerful that they all had to look up to him.

Shui Bing'er was not discouraged; instead, she worked even harder.

If being a Soul Saint at 16 isn't enough, then keep trying!

After some time, the Martial Soul Ranking was updated again, and the sixth place was revealed.

[Sixth on the Martial Soul Ranking: Six-Winged Angel]

[Holder: Qian Renxue (Hall of Offerings/Heavenly Dou Empire)]

[Evaluation: The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, like the Sea God Martial Soul, is a divinely bestowed Martial Soul. However, Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is different; it is close to a God-King level Martial Soul. In other words, she herself is the reincarnation of a Six-Winged Angel God, possessing innate level 20 Soul Power, and her Martial Soul has the attributes of ultimate light and ultimate fire.]

[Reward: Unlocks sealed past life memories (Angel God's memories), increases the age of all soul rings by 10,000 years, evolves the martial soul to God King level, breaks the limitation of a first-level god, and possesses infinite possibilities.]
