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

Chapter 51 Brigitte Makes the List
Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

For the first time, a violent fluctuation flashed in Gu Yuena's cold eyes. Her slender fingertips trembled slightly, and ripples spread across the once calm lake of life.

She gazed at the four characters "Tianxing Academy" on the screen, her voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of solemnity.

"Tianxing Academy... can actually cultivate a 51-year-old ferocious beast? And it's a Black Jade Divine Bamboo with dual extreme attributes..."

When the information from the Soul Beast Ranking reached Tianxing Academy, the old man who was the incarnation of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo trembled slightly. Then, a dazzling golden beam of light descended from the sky, pouring down like a waterfall and instantly enveloping it.

A surge of immense energy flowed into his body, and the aura of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo began to soar wildly.

51 years, 52 years, 53 years... and finally it came to a steady stop at 66 years!

The bamboo stalks grew thicker, and golden patterns covered the dark bamboo joints, radiating a chilling aura.

The energy of the ultimate wood caused the surrounding vegetation to grow wildly, while the energy of the ultimate metal made the bamboo indestructible, as if it could tear everything apart.

Inside the pavilion beside the bamboo grove, Li Tianyi was quietly sipping tea, while Shui Bing'er sat cross-legged, refining the energy within her body.

When Li Tianyi saw the information that the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo had made it onto the list, his hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Finally made it onto the list? The Jade Bamboo... 66 years old, with two extreme attributes, it's worth the effort of nurturing it."

Shui Bing'er slowly opened her eyes, gazing at the black jade bamboo in the distance whose aura was surging, her eyes filled with shock and awe.

"Teacher, Elder Mo's strength is terrifying! 66 years of cultivation, and he also has two extreme attributes..."

"fear?"

Li Tianyi smiled faintly, picked up his teacup and took a sip, "This is just the beginning. The potential of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo is far more than this."

"Once it fully masters the dual extreme attributes, even a ferocious beast that is 800,000 years old may not be able to suppress it."

He paused, his gaze fixed on the Soul Beast Ranking in the sky, a profound look flashing in his eyes.

[Ninth on the Soul Beast Ranking: Bi Ji]

【Duration: 600000 years】

[Affiliation: Star Dou Great Forest]

[Evaluation: Chief of the Emerald Swan Clan, whose true form is an Emerald Swan. Possessing exceptional life attributes, she is the world's premier healing-type soul beast.]

[Reward: 100,000 years of cultivation, gaining the ultimate annihilation attribute; with a single thought, all things are born; with a single thought, all beings perish.]

The words "Bridget" and "Ninth Place" on the sky were frozen in time like a brand, and the wind by the Lake of Life seemed to freeze at this moment.

Gu Yuena's slender body stiffened slightly, and unprecedented shock surged in her usually calm eyes. For the first time, an incredulous ripple appeared clearly in her eyes.

She knew all too well how important Brigitte was.

The patriarch of the Emerald Swan clan, with 600,000 years of cultivation, and the holder of the ultimate life attribute.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, in terms of age and background, Bi Ji has long been one of the top figures, and even Di Tian has to show her respect.

For countless years, Biji has nourished every inch of Xingdou with her ultimate life force, making her the undisputed pillar of Xingdou and the "Mother of Life" in the hearts of countless soul beasts.

But now, this universally acknowledged top king of the Star Dou region is only ranked ninth on the Soul Beast Ranking.

"ninth……"

Gu Yuena murmured softly, a hint of gravity in her voice, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the surface of the Lake of Life, stirring up ripples. "Even Bi Ji can only rank ninth, so what terrifying beings are on that list?"

Her gaze was fixed on the dazzling curtain of light on the horizon, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

Since the Soul Beast Ranking appeared, powerful figures from the Star Dou region have appeared on the list one after another, including the Demon King, Bear Lord, and Bi Ji...

Each and every one of them is a legendary soul beast king, yet their rankings repeatedly challenge the understanding of the Star Dou beasts.

Bi Ji's 600,000 years of cultivation and dual extreme attributes already represent the pinnacle of the soul beast world, yet she still failed to break into the upper ten. What lies behind this is a terrifying foundation that the entire soul beast world of Douluo Continent has never revealed.

Di Tian also noticed Gu Yuena's unusual behavior. His dragon aura subsided slightly, and his golden eyes were filled with shock and solemnity.

As a veteran overlord of Xingdou, he always thought he had a clear understanding of the strength of the soul beasts on the continent, but the appearance of the Soul Beast Ranking has repeatedly shattered his understanding.

"My lord, Brigitte... her lifespan of six hundred thousand years, the ultimate lifespan, has now ended in ultimate annihilation, and she can only be ranked ninth..."

Di Tian's voice was deep, tinged with disbelief, "Could there be beings on this list that are over 800,000 years old?"

Xiong Jun had long lost his former arrogance; his amber eyes were filled with horror. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

In his view, Brigitte's strength was already beyond his reach.

But now, this powerful figure, whom even he had to look up to, was only ranked ninth, which instantly extinguished the pride he felt from his promotion.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons' vertical pupils flickered with eerie green light, and three ultimate attributes slowly swirled around him. He gazed at the sky, his voice steady and deep.

"My lord, what the Soul Beast Ranking shows may only be the tip of the iceberg of the strength of the soul beasts on the continent."

"The Ice Emperor of the far north, the Demon Emperor of the deep sea, and those ancient soul beasts that live in seclusion... Perhaps their strength has already exceeded our imagination."

"It seems we underestimated the world."

Gu Yuena's voice regained its usual coolness, but it carried an unprecedented solemnity.

"The appearance of the Soul Beast Ranking is not only a test for our Xingdou, but also a reshuffling of the entire soul beast world on the continent. Biji's ranking precisely illustrates that Xingdou still has a long way to go."

Then, all the ferocious beasts' gazes instantly converged on that elegant and holy figure, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

Brigitte was surrounded by a soft emerald halo, like a fairy under the moon.

Although the emerald swan's true form was not revealed, its gentle aura, originating from the very source of life, brought unprecedented vitality to the surrounding vegetation.

The reward information appeared on the screen that day: "100,000 years of cultivation, obtained the ultimate annihilation attribute, one thought creates all things, one thought annihilates all beings."

For the first time, a great ripple appeared in Brigitte's clear, lake-like eyes.

Her slender body trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

Ultimate life is already one of the most supreme attributes in the world, controlling vitality and healing, and is a power that all soul beasts and even humans yearn to be close to.

Ultimate annihilation, on the other hand, is a terrifying attribute that is the complete opposite of this, representing the end and destruction, and can reduce all things to nothingness in the blink of an eye.

These two attributes, one representing the ultimate of life and the other the ultimate of destruction, should be incompatible, yet they are about to befall her simultaneously.

"boom--!"
