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

Chapter 35 Soul Beast Ranking, Number 20: Three-Eyed Golden Lion

Shui Bing'er gazed at the pillar of light and said softly, "This is an understanding of Teacher's martial soul, Double Pupil. It's like standing on the shoulders of giants. Teacher's power of Double Pupil is probably going to reach a new level."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second reward, "God King Level," took effect.

A faint black and white divine light emanated from Li Tianyi's body. His originally restrained power of creation suddenly sublimated, forming visible ripples that spread throughout the entire academy.

Shui Bing'er and the others felt refreshed, and their soul power bottlenecks seemed to loosen slightly. Shui Yue'er even broke through a small level, reaching the 50th level Quasi-Soul King realm, with four soul rings—one yellow, two purple, and one black—circling her body.

Wow! I broke through!

Shuiyue jumped up and down with joy, her eyes filled with ecstasy. "Teacher's God King power is so amazing! It can actually help us break through!"

Huo Wu felt the boiling soul power within her body, and the barrier that had previously blocked her at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm actually cracked. She clenched her fist tightly, her heart filled with unparalleled shock.

The pressure from the God-King realm was so beneficial; this level of strength had long exceeded her imagination.

Immediately afterwards, the "Divine Artifact Yin-Yang Halberd" and the "Divine Artifact Yin-Yang Armor" materialized in front of Li Tianyi.

The halberd is entirely black and white, with the tip swirling with the ultimate powers of destruction and life, and the body is engraved with ancient runes.

The armor, woven from flowing light, fits the entire body seamlessly, its black and white divine light swirling around, exuding an aura of supreme majesty.

Li Tianyi raised his hand and grasped the Yin-Yang Battle Halberd. With a gentle swing, a black and white intertwined mark was drawn in the void. No energy leaked out, but it made Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, tremble and submit.

He raised his hand again, and the Yin-Yang Armor automatically donned itself. Its divine light was contained, yet it caused subtle ripples in the space around him, as if he could shatter the void with a single step.

"A divine artifact! It really is a divine artifact!"

Shui Bing'er's eyes widened, her voice filled with disbelief.

"The aura of that halberd is even more terrifying than the legendary divine artifacts!"

Ye Lingling nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with awe: "And that armor, it feels like it can withstand any attack. Teacher's current strength is probably truly invincible!"

Li Tianyi opened his eyes, a flash of black and white divine light appearing briefly in his double pupils. He looked down at his disciples, his voice calm yet carrying a power that penetrated the heart.

"These are merely inheritances and artifacts; true power lies in one's own understanding of martial spirit and the principles of the Dao."

He raised his hand and waved, and two soft black and white divine lights fell on Shui Yue'er and Huo Wu. "Yue'er, this life force will help you stabilize your realm; Xiao Wu, this destructive force will help you break through your bottleneck."

Shui Yue'er felt warm all over, and her newly broken-through soul power instantly stabilized and even showed signs of improvement.

Huo Wu felt a domineering yet not violent power surge into her body, and the barrier of the peak Soul King shattered, revealing her fifth Soul Ring.

"I've made a breakthrough too!"

Huo Wu looked up at the figure on the observation deck, her eyes filled with reverence and admiration.

"Thank you teacher!"

Li Tianyi put away the Yin-Yang Battle Halberd, and his battle armor transformed into a stream of light that merged into his body. He looked at the excited disciples below and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Cultivate diligently, and when you reach a sufficient level, you too will be able to have such an opportunity."

"I will heed your teachings!"

On the side of the viewing platform, Yunming and Yali walked slowly over, their eyes full of admiration.

Yun Ming laughed and said, "Congratulations, Dean. With the God King realm and two divine artifacts, you can probably even go to the God Realm and become its ruler."

Yali nodded in agreement: "The power of double pupils is already heaven-defying, and with these rewards, no one on the continent can match it."

Li Tianyi smiled faintly and looked into the distance.

"maybe."

After the rewards for the top spot on the Martial Soul Ranking were distributed, the Golden Ranking once again shone brightly. [The top twenty of the Martial Soul Ranking have been announced. Next ranking: Soul Beast Ranking]

The Soul Beast Ranking lists the top twenty strongest soul beasts in the world, selected based on factors such as age, combat power, bloodline, and potential. Soul beasts on the list receive numerous rewards.

[Official announcement in three days.]

The appearance of a Soul Beast on the list immediately caused a huge uproar across the continent.

In the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong stared at the list, having already made up her mind.

He is now invincible below the god level. As long as the list of soul beasts and their respective soul beast forests is announced, he will lead his people to kill them and obtain their bones to help him complete the eighth trial of the Rakshasa God.

"Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, you two will probably be near the top of the list as well. This time, I won't allow you to run away again!"

In Soto City, Tang Hao stared blankly at the Soul Beast Ranking.

“Ah Yin, if you hadn’t taken human form back then, with your status and position as the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, you would definitely have been among the top three.”

"No! You're still alive, so you'll definitely make it onto the list. The rewards on this list are generous, and there's definitely a way to help you revive."

Star Dou Forest, core area.

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena muttered to herself.

"The Soul Beast Ranking is about to be ours so soon."

"I hope the rewards from this list will not disappoint me. My current injuries will take at least 20,000 years to fully recover."

Above the Lake of Life, Di Tian and several other ferocious beasts were also eyeing the list, naturally eager to be listed, since the rewards on that list were obvious to all and were definitely an earth-shattering opportunity.

"My lord is undoubtedly ranked first. I am ranked second. The third is most likely the Ice and Snow Maiden of the far north, or the Evil Eye of that continent that has not yet been developed by humans."

"As long as the rewards on this list are generous and not deliberately targeted at the Soul Beast race, then my Soul Beast race might be able to produce a few more god-level powerhouses and launch a counterattack against the God Realm!"

Beside Di Tian's feet was a young beast, babbling like a qilin and a lion; it was none other than the auspicious imperial beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

At this time, its cultivation level was only around five thousand years.

Beside Di Tian's enormous dragon claw, the three-eyed golden lion was rubbing its small head against his scales, its fluffy mane glistening with tiny droplets of water.

When the words "Soul Beast Ranking" appeared on the Sky Golden List, its clear beast eyes widened suddenly, and a faint golden light flashed in its third vertical pupil, as if it had caught some special fluctuation.

"Eeya... list?"

It let out a soft, melodious cry, its little paws gently pawing at Di Tian's claws, its eyes full of curiosity.

"Great Black Dragon, am I... up there?"

Di Tian lowered his head, his originally majestic dragon eyes softening slightly, and nuzzled its forehead with the tip of his nose.

"Lord Auspicious Beast, you are born extraordinary. Even with only five thousand years of cultivation, your auspicious fortune and power of destiny are enough to earn you a place on the list. However..."

Before it could finish speaking, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly tilted its head, and its third eye flickered slightly.

"I sensed... a lot of 'strong' auras, in the ice to the north, in the sea to the east, and... in a very, very far, dark place."

It wrinkled its little nose, as if displeased with the evil aura. "They...want to steal the rankings?"

"Yes," Di Tian said in a deep voice.

"Those ferocious beasts all covet the rewards on the leaderboard, hoping to use them to break through their cultivation levels. But you don't need to worry, with me here, no one can harm you."

The three-eyed golden lion wagged its tail, a serious look appearing on its little face.
