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

Chapter 29 Martial Soul Ranking Second Place: Xuanyuan Sword

On the training ground of Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai was sparring with Tang San, Oscar and others, his white tiger soul power surging around him.

When the information from the Martial Soul Ranking entered his ears like a thunderclap, the three words "Zhu Zhuqing" struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

He froze, his White Tiger Martial Soul instantly dissipated, and his face was filled with disbelief and shock.

"Zhu Zhuqing... Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? A martial soul surpassing the God King level?"

Dai Mubai murmured to himself, his voice trembling, as the image of that aloof and proud figure appeared in his mind.

His fiancée, the Ghost Duke's daughter, with whom he had been betrothed since childhood, yet he had never truly been close to her or even met her.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was shock, resentment, and a trace of attachment that even I wasn't aware of.

Tang San noticed his unusual behavior and frowned, asking, "Mu Bai, what's wrong? Do you know this Zhu Zhuqing?"

Dai Mubai snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and barely managed to suppress the turmoil in his heart: "I wouldn't say I know her, I've just... heard her name."

He was unwilling to mention the engagement, only glossing over it vaguely, but his gaze grew increasingly intense.

"I never expected her to have such a terrifying martial spirit and strength, and even get into Tianxing Academy."

Oscar clicked his tongue in amazement: "Tianxing Academy is too outrageous! First there was God King Yun Ming, and now there's Zhu Zhuqing. What kind of magical place is this academy? And yet, no one knows where it is!"

Dai Mubai remained silent for a moment, a resolute glint in his eyes. He didn't say he was going to find Zhu Zhuqing, but he already had a goal in mind.

The name that once existed only in the marriage contract has now become a top expert on the continent, and a raging fire has been ignited in his heart once again.

If Zhu Zhuqing could support his marriage according to the marriage contract, then the Star Luo throne would surely be his.

However, it's obvious whether Zhu Zhuqing would look down on such a coward.

Inside Tianxing Academy, the golden beam of light cascaded down like a gilded waterfall, pouring into Zhu Zhuqing's body and instantly unleashing a surge of energy that swept through her limbs and bones.

Her black clothes fluttered and rustled even without wind, and behind her roared a ferocious giant tiger with wings on its back and a hooked tail, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.

The lingering, chilling aura was enveloped by golden divine energy, gradually merging with the six ultimate attributes of time and space, wind and thunder, evil, and power, transforming into a stream of interwoven seven colors.

Within his dantian, the bottleneck of level 51 soul power shattered like thin ice, and the immense energy propelled the soul power ladder to climb rapidly.

In the past few years, Zhu Zhuqing's level has skyrocketed under Li Tianyi's dedicated tutelage. At the age of only twelve, she reached level 51, making her arguably the number one genius on the continent.

The level 60 barrier crumbled instantly, and a profound sense of weight followed as the age of the spirit rings increased by 40,000 years. Five spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, black, and black—rose beneath his feet.

The original ten-thousand-year soul ring has now transformed into a sixty-thousand-year level ring, with gilded patterns showing through its dark color, and its aura has become increasingly heavy and solid.

Black, black, black, black, black.

Five black spirit rings appeared beneath his feet, the last one already showing red threads, clearly approaching the 100,000-year level.

51, 52, 53... up to level 61.

Zhu Zhuqing's soul power level soared, and the power surging in her meridians was no longer just soul power, but a divine energy refined from six extreme attributes. As it flowed, it even caused subtle ripples in the surrounding space.

At the center of his brow, the phantom of the Dark Demon God Tiger flashed by, and his vertical pupils, which contained the mysteries of time and space, opened and closed slightly.

The last trace of the Death Arena secret technique was wiped away like dust by the golden light, and the shackles deep in her soul completely dissipated, allowing her to gain an increasingly perfect control over this secret technique that reverses time.

Even without deliberate activation, it can be triggered automatically when faced with a deadly threat.

The original Death Arena was pulled into an illusion by Zhu Zhuqing, where six-year-olds faced off against each other. With the strength of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he was unlikely to lose.

Now, its effect has been changed so that the enemy will enter their childhood stage or when their martial soul has just awakened. According to Zhu Zhuqing's current understanding, she can only fight when she is nine years old.

But that's enough. After all, she was capable of fighting against a Soul Master when she was only nine years old. With continued mastery of this secret technique, she will one day be able to fight at her peak.

At that time, no one will be able to stop us.

When her soul power finally settled at level 61, Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes.

Her clear, cold eyes reflected six flowing elemental halos, and with every gesture, the power of spacetime subtly swirled around her, making her figure appear even more ethereal and unpredictable.

She raised her hand and clenched it, and six ultimate powers condensed in her palm, transforming into a small, dark gold tiger-shaped short blade. The blade was accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, and one could feel its sharpness enough to tear through space upon touching it.

"Level 61..."

Zhu Zhuqing felt the surging yet controlled power within her body, and her clear, cool voice carried a hint of relief.

The stagnation caused by the conflict of multiple attributes during my previous cultivation has completely disappeared.

The rewards for the Golden List not only increased the level and the age of the Soul Ring, but also streamlined the relationships between the six attributes, making them flow together like streams into the ocean, forming a unified whole.

With a swift movement, she left several afterimages in her place, her speed increasing several times over, even faintly breaking through spatial limitations, leaving behind faint folds in spacetime.

The palm strike, imbued with the power of wind and thunder, cleaved a trench several meters long upon impact with the ground, within which lingered a lingering, malevolent force.

"The six attributes have been completely integrated, and the soul power foundation far exceeds that of other soul masters of the same level."

As Zhu Zhuqing landed, the spirit rings beneath her feet slowly receded, and the energy fluctuations around her subsided. Only the occasional flash of golden light in her eyes revealed her terrifying strength.

With a soul power of level 61, a martial soul surpassing the level of a God King, a soul ring of 60,000 years, and a time-manipulation technique without side effects, plus the boost she will receive after absorbing a soul ring, her combat power has already far exceeded that of an ordinary Soul Emperor, and she can even contend head-on with a Title Douluo.

This is not a sign of her delusions, but a genuine surge in combat power.

If we can't win, we can just drag them into the death arena.

She turned to look in the direction of Li Tianyi and Yun Ming, nodded slightly, and a hint of determination appeared in her clear, cold eyes.

As for the final reward of a 200,000-year-old soul bone, she chose the skull. After accepting the soul bone, the people from Tianxing Academy gathered around.

"Wow... Zhu Qing, you're so strong! Level 61 at the age of twelve, breaking through to Soul Emperor."

"Yeah, yeah, with your talent you're only ranked third. I really don't know what kind of monsters the top two are."

Shuiyue chattered on and on, her eyes filled with undisguised envy.

That's third on the list. He can easily boost his soul power by ten levels with a single move, plus a 60,000-year soul ring, not to mention a 200,000-year soul bone. It's simply beyond human comprehension.

"Do you think the teacher will be first or second since they haven't made the list yet?"

I guess first!

Shui Yue'er, Ye Lingling, and Shui Bing'er almost all supported Li Tianyi to win first place.

"Don't you believe that the teacher can consistently rank in the top two?"

"Unless the teacher possesses twin martial souls..."

Shui Yue'er suddenly stopped talking, as if Li Tianyi had never said that he did not possess twin martial souls.

"Hiss... Could it be...?"

Just then, the second-ranked person on the Martial Soul Ranking appeared.
