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

Chapter 4, Rank 19 on the Martial Soul Ranking: Dugu Yan, the Poison Dragon Martial Soul
Tang San nodded solemnly upon hearing this. His teacher was right. He possessed twin martial souls with innate full soul power. Who on the entire continent could compare to him?

He was secretly delighted, and dreamed of receiving the generous rewards from the Golden List.

If the twentieth place winner receives such a reward, what about the top five, or even the top three? It would probably be a priceless treasure that could change their lives.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi and his two companions were not at peace, because they had met Meng Hongchen, who was on the list.

Moreover, it wasn't just once; every year when Ning Rongrong went home on vacation, it was this woman named Meng Hongchen who escorted her.

"Feng Zhi, it seems that the Martial Soul Ranking really only looks at the potential and strength of the Martial Soul. We have all witnessed Meng Hongchen's strength. With the strength of a Soul Douluo and the help of a high-level soul tool, he was able to fight me to a draw."

"Yes, this also reflects the power of soul tools. Uncle Bone is a level 95 peak titled Douluo. Not to mention Soul Douluo, even those who have just entered the titled Douluo realm would be suppressed."

When Meng Hongchen first came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he actually came with a mission. He took advantage of his eight-ring Soul Douluo level and his level nine Soul Guidance Device to fight a great battle against Bone Douluo.

The result was a draw.

The soul tools that all soul masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are equipped with today are provided by the Heavenly Path Academy.

"Tianxing Academy is full of hidden talents. With Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu, we are probably about to witness the rise of a top-tier power."

Ning Fengzhi sighed.

Inside Tianxing Academy, everyone cheered.

Behind Meng Hongchen, the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad Emperor Martial Soul emerges, revealing the optimal nine-ring combination.

Two yellow, two purple, four black and one red.

After the golden reward from the Heavenly Ranking entered his body, his soul power, originally level 93, unexpectedly broke through to level 94, and his soul ring configuration also changed from the original:

Purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.

Four purple, four black, and one red.

"Teacher Mengmeng, you're amazing! You actually made the list!"

"Yes, there are so many martial spirits on the mainland. Teacher Mengmeng is indeed a genius!"

"cheers!"

Meng Hongchen smiled slightly, took the champagne handed to him by Shui Yue'er, and took a sip.

"Good, keep it up. This ranking only considers martial spirit, not soul tool. If we look at overall strength, you are definitely more than this."

"However, I reckon that future lists will include those for special professions, and that's when you'll truly shine."

Li Tianyi comforted him.

"Thank you, Dean. I'm already very satisfied to be on the list."

"Teacher Xiaoxiao, Mengmeng is on the list, so your three-legged yellow toad should be on the list too, right?"

Shuiyue'er walked towards Xiao Hongchen and asked.

Xiao Hongchen's face darkened. What do you mean by a three-legged toad? My martial soul is the ancient, exotic three-legged golden toad, a terrifying being that wields the ultimate metal!
How did it become a three-legged yellow toad in this little brat's mouth?
Laughing at the world's troubles, yet feeling gloomy.

The Crown Prince's Residence...

"The Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad? It's not as good as my Six-Winged Angel. It seems I'm still ranked higher."

Just as everyone on the mainland was discussing it, the Martial Soul Ranking suddenly changed.

The Martial Soul Ranking, which was originally ranked 20th, has now become 19th.

[Rank 19 on the Martial Soul Ranking: Poison Dragon]

[Holder: Dugu Yan (Tianxing Academy)]

[Evaluation: Evolved from the Azure Serpent Martial Soul to the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, undergoing multiple dragon transformations to reach the Four-Clawed Dragon realm, possessing both poison and physical attributes. Dominant in poison, unparalleled in physical strength!]

[Rewards: Soul Power level increased by 1, all Soul Ring duration increased by 500 years, Dragon bloodline enhanced by 10%]

The golden characters on the Heavenly Ranking were revealed. At the same time, Dugu Yan's martial soul possessed her body uncontrollably, and four soul rings appeared: two yellow, one purple, and three black. Behind her, the four-clawed poisonous dragon martial soul roared to the sky.

With the distribution of the Gold List rewards, Dugu Yan's level broke through from 63 to 64, and her Martial Soul Poison Dragon also let out a loud dragon roar under the golden holy light.

The poisonous properties became even more potent, and the purplish-green scales shone with an even more extraordinary luster. A fifth fleshy growth appeared on the dragon's claw, as if a fifth claw could appear at any moment. The next moment, the six spirit rings beneath her feet also began to change. With the age of all spirit rings increasing by five hundred years, her spirit ring configuration was upgraded to: yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.

One yellow, two purple, and three black; six soul rings.

Dugu Yan was the oldest among the students present and the last to meet Li Tianyi, before she obtained her third spirit ring.

Her first two spirit rings were over three hundred years old and over five hundred years old, respectively.

"Sister Yan Yan! You made the list too! No wonder you're the senior sister of our academy!"

"Yes, yes, the twentieth and nineteenth places are both from our college. This really makes the teacher proud!"

"Congratulations."

Despite her aloof nature, Shui Bing'er still offered her congratulations to Dugu Yan.

Listening to the praise from everyone, Dugu Yan showed no pride whatsoever, but remained extremely calm.

"All of this is thanks to my teacher. He said I met him too late, but you can't have everything. I also made the list."

Dugu Yan was quite open-minded and satisfied with the ranking. After all, apart from herself, almost all the other students had received Li Tianyi's guidance after their martial souls awakened, so she naturally couldn't compare.

"If I can make it, you guys will only be even further ahead. Keep it up!"

As Dugu Yan spoke, she raised her wine glass.

Congratulations to Yan Yan on making the list!

Li Tianyi was also holding a wine glass. Dugu Yan was his first student, so he naturally cared a lot about her.

In the Sunset Forest, a figure in emerald green suddenly rose to its feet.

He was initially drowsy, but upon seeing the people on the list, he excitedly let out a roar that was almost like a dragon's cry.

This person was Dugu Bo.

Unlike the original story where he was troubled by his own toxins, Dugu Bo's eyes and hair color are now those of a normal person.

He exuded the aura of a level 94 Title Douluo, with the Azure Phosphorous Flood Dragon King martial soul attached to his back.

"Yan Yan is on the list too. I never thought that our tense encounter would lead to this opportunity between Yan Yan and me."

"Little monster, little monster, I wonder where you'll rank on the Martial Soul Ranking."

Dugu Bo laughed heartily, still unable to forget the first time he met Li Tianyi a few years ago.

At that time, Li Tianyi forcibly took his granddaughter as his disciple, and he fought a great battle with her... um...

Dugu Bo scratched his head. Actually, he was so frightened by Li Tianyi's look that he stood there stunned.

Those eyes had two pupils; when I looked into them, I was immediately stunned.

However, the result was good. His martial soul defect was resolved, his martial soul evolved, and he reached the level of a 94th-level Title Douluo.

And his granddaughter has become a true genius, possessing countless martial souls across the entire continent.

Dugu Bo was very satisfied that his granddaughter ranked 19th.

"I haven't visited Yan Yan in a long time, so I'll take this opportunity to go see her."

……

Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

The elders were all discussing the matter, and they all kept talking about the grandfather and granddaughter pair, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"Sect Master, isn't Dugu Yan's martial soul the Azure Phosphorous Serpent? Back then, the old poison master claimed it was a level seven soul power."

Yu Luomian asked in confusion.

"Besides, I saw that girl with my own eyes back then, there's no mistake."
