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

Chapter 95 Fire Dance
Meanwhile, outside the secret realm, the two Soul Douluo elders and the royal guards who had received the communication jade talisman had arrived. Upon seeing the shattered defensive barrier, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately rushed into the secret realm.

"Your Highness!" Upon seeing Xue Ke collapsed on the ground, the two Soul Douluo elders rushed forward, their eyes filled with worry.

Xue Ke smiled weakly: "I'm fine... Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo from Wuhun City... have already escaped..."

The two Soul Douluo elders breathed a sigh of relief, then a flash of anger appeared in their eyes: "The Spirit City is too audacious! They actually dared to break into the Royal Secret Realm to assassinate Her Highness the Princess! We will immediately report to His Majesty and request permission to send troops to punish Spirit City!"

Xue Ke shook her head and said softly, "No need... The most important thing right now is to strengthen our defenses... I need to continue cultivating... to improve my strength as soon as possible..."

She knew that only by becoming strong enough could she truly protect herself and the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The two Soul Douluo elders nodded and helped Xue Ke to her feet: "Your Highness, rest assured, we will immediately strengthen our defenses and will never allow anyone to harm you again!"

Inside the secret realm, Xue Ke, escorted by two Soul Douluo elders, once again arrived beside the Millennium Jade Ginseng, sat down cross-legged, and continued her cultivation.

The news of Xue Ke's assassination spread like wildfire across the entire continent, making the already tense situation on the continent even more volatile.

Above the sky, the emerald swan's light and shadow belonging to Princess Xueke had not completely dissipated, and its warm, moon-like silver light was still soothing the people of the continent who had been repeatedly shocked.

However, the heavens seemed unwilling to give the world any chance to breathe. Almost the instant the silver light faded, a completely different, extremely violent and intense aura suddenly exploded from the depths of the sky!
"boom--!!!"

It was not a dragon's roar, yet it was more powerful than thunder! It was a crimson-gold fireball that suddenly appeared out of thin air, burning and expanding continuously. Like a miniature sun, its brilliance instantly dispelled the clouds above the imperial city and dyed half of the sky a golden-red like lava!

Fiery! Fierce! Proud! Unquestionable!
This aura is somewhat similar to Liu Erlong's Blazing Dragon Might, but it lacks the profound weight and destructive power of that aura. Instead, it possesses a youthful vigor, agility, and an unbridled flamboyance that seems to burn away all constraints!

The crimson-gold flames rolled and condensed, eventually transforming into a brand-new list that was even more dazzling than the previous list, with leaping flame patterns wrapped around its border.

The fiery characters, carrying a scorching heat, were powerfully imprinted on the sky:

[Goddess Ranking #16: Fire Dance]

[Level: 44 Soul Master]

[Affiliation: Blazing Fire Academy (Heaven Dou Empire)]

[Evaluation: A once-in-a-century genius of Blazing Academy, his martial soul is Fire Shadow. He possesses an innate affinity and control over fire elements, a fiery temperament, pride and confidence, exceptional combat talent, and unfathomable potential.]

[Reward: Martial Soul evolves into 'Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix', Soul Power increases by six levels, awakens the rudimentary form of the Innate Fire God Domain—'Burning Heaven Domain', with a range of fifty meters. Within the domain, the user's own fire attribute attacks are amplified by 100%, the enemy's fire resistance is reduced by 50%, and the effects of non-fire attribute soul skills are suppressed by 20%.]

"hiss--!"

Across the mainland, gasps of astonishment rose almost simultaneously, only to be drowned out by an even louder uproar.

If Liu Erlong's inclusion on the list represents the rebirth of a top-tier powerhouse, and Xue Ke's inclusion on the list represents the imperial princess's good fortune, then Huo Wu's inclusion on the list represents the powerful rise of a new generation of geniuses, and in such a violent and dazzling way!

"Fire Dance! It's Fire Dance from Blazing Academy!" "Level 44 Soul Master? She jumped six levels directly to level 50 Soul King?! My god, how old is she? She's already touched the threshold of Soul King?"

"Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix! That's a legendary top-tier fire-attribute flying beast martial soul, far surpassing her Naruto martial soul! Flight ability, ultimate fire attribute—it's practically an evolution tailor-made for her!"

"And a domain! A rudimentary innate domain! Although it's only a rudimentary form, and its range is only fifty meters, it's still a domain! An ability that countless Title Douluos dream of! Amplifying oneself and weakening the enemy, this is a strategic-level existence in large-scale battles!"

"Blazing Fire Academy is really going to soar to new heights this time! Huo Wu was already exceptionally talented, and now her martial soul has evolved, her soul power has increased dramatically, and she has even awakened the rudimentary form of her domain... Among the younger generation, besides those few monsters, who else can rival her?"

"What incredible luck has the Heaven Dou Empire had? Liu Erlong, Xue Ke, and now Huo Wu! Although all three forces belong to Heaven Dou, they are different in nature. Is this ranking going to push the Heaven Dou Empire to the top?"

"Don't forget her assessment: 'Her potential is unfathomable'! And that 'Burning Heaven Domain,' although it's only in its nascent stage, has immense potential for future growth! If this woman grows up smoothly, she will surely become a powerful figure!"

Blazing Fire Academy is located in a city in the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire that is famous for its geothermal resources.

The college buildings are mostly constructed of crimson stone, and from a distance they resemble a cluster of burning palaces.

At this moment, on the largest training ground in the academy's center, a fiery red figure had just completed a challenging fire manipulation exercise and was slightly out of breath.

Huo Wu wore a set of form-fitting fiery red leather armor that accentuated her slender and athletic figure. Her long, wine-red hair was tied into a neat ponytail, bouncing behind her head with her movements.

Her features were bright and striking, with her phoenix eyes being particularly piercing, conveying undisguised pride and confidence in her every glance.

A slight sheen of sweat on his forehead made his snow-white skin appear even more striking, giving him an imposing and heroic air.

Just as she was about to take a short rest, the sky suddenly changed!
The crimson-gold list, the familiar names, the unbelievable reward information, rushed into her mind and body like the hottest torrent of flames.

"Goddess Ranking... sixteenth? Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix? Soul power increased by six levels... and... a domain?"

Huo Wu's red lips parted slightly, her phoenix eyes wide open. Even with her proud and confident personality, she was somewhat stunned by this sudden and unimaginable opportunity.

But then, an indescribable ecstasy and boiling fighting spirit surged from the bottom of her heart like a volcanic eruption!

She is Huo Wu, a genius that the Blazing Academy has seen only once in a century. She has always believed that her flames can burn away all obstacles, and reaching the peak is only a matter of time.

Now, the recognition and bestowal of this mysterious list has instantly propelled her already bright future to a height she never dared to easily imagine before!

"Hahaha! Great! That's fantastic!"

Huo Wu threw her head back and let out a clear, hearty laugh, filled with confidence and arrogance. "That's more like Huo Wu!"

Almost the instant her laughter rang out, a crimson-gold beam of light projected from the celestial rankings completely enveloped her.
