Inside the Healing Scepter family.
The seventy-nine-year-old patriarch, disregarding his usual air of authority, excitedly shouted throughout the family.
"Who! Who is it that's ranked 200th on the Potential Gold List? Come here, let me see what a Triple Repulsion Halo looks like!"
He yelled for almost seven minutes. Finally, the youngest of his five sons slowly raised his hand.
"F-father, it seems to be me..."
The old patriarch strode forward and kicked his youngest son's rear twice.
"You little rascal, you made me shout for so long before you came out! Are you deaf? I'm not going to steal your Triple Repulsion Halo, what are you hiding for?"
After being kicked a few times, the youngest son mumbled.
"I'm your son. If I'm a little rascal, then you're the old rascal…"
The old patriarch almost wanted to kick him again.
The youngest son quickly and sheepishly displayed his martial spirit and Soul Rings.
The Soul Rings had all gained five hundred years of cultivation, his Soul Ring configuration now being yellow, purple, purple, purple, purple.
The old patriarch wasn't concerned about that. He was focused on the special skills granted by the Gold List rewards.
The old patriarch turned to a fifty-six-level strong attack-type Soul King who was affiliated with their family and said,
"Qiangzi, spar with him. Don't hold back. If he gets injured by you, I won't blame you and will even reward you with 500 Gold Soul Coins."
The Soul King nodded and activated his martial spirit, the Tempest Two-Headed Wolf.
Unexpectedly, the Triple Repulsion Halo prevented the Soul King from even touching his target, constantly pushing him away and leaving him completely exasperated.
The battle ended only when the old clan leader's youngest son, whose soul power was depleted, called a halt.
The Soul King hadn't managed to touch him once, and instead, he had been bounced around by the Triple Repulsion Halo, leaving him bruised and battered.
The old clan leader was overjoyed and immediately rewarded the Soul King with 1000 Gold Soul Coins to appease him.
"Rank 170, Human, 36th-Rank Soul Master, with the Netherworld Spirit Cat as his martial soul. Reward: All Soul Rings increase by 1000 years, with the special skill Netherworld Assassination."
"Rank 163, Human, 38th-Rank Soul Master, with the Evil Eye White Tiger as his martial soul. Reward: All Soul Rings increase by 1000 years, with the special skill Tiger Roar of the Mountains and Forests."
In the Council Hall of the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Palace.
The Star Luo Emperor sat upon his throne, his eyes filled with the majesty of an emperor as he surveyed the assembled royal children.
When the first Potential Gold List was announced, the Star Luo Emperor had immediately ordered all the royal children to gather in the Council Hall.
Not only the royal children, but also several major families of the Star Luo Empire were present.
For example, the Spirit Cat Zhu Clan and the Star Crown Xu Clan's children were all gathered here.
In the center of the hall, a man and a woman had released their martial spirits.
The man was tall and handsome, with a powerful presence. His martial spirit was the Evil Eye White Tiger, accompanied by three purple Soul Rings, which caused envy among the royal children.
The woman had a slender figure, with long, black hair cascading to her waist. Her martial spirit was the Netherworld Spirit Cat, also possessing three purple Soul Rings.
Standing together, their martial spirits showed a subtle tendency to merge.
In the crowd, a little boy, no older than seven or eight with golden hair, fixed his gaze on a beautiful little girl who was only five.
He knew this little girl was his fiancée, although he didn't quite understand the concept yet.
But his mother had told him a fiancée was someone he would spend his whole life with.
Therefore, the little boy knew she was important to him.
The little girl felt his burning gaze and gave a cold snort, turning her face away.
The little boy was instantly flustered, a little lost…
"Rank 149, Human, Level 74 Soul Saint, possessing the Diamond Mammoth martial soul, rewards: all Soul Rings increase by 2,000 years, special skill: Bloodthirst Impact."
Diamond Mammoth? Isn't that the martial soul of the Elephant Armor Sect disciples?
Ling Yun raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the lower four sects, still had some potential.
However, compared to the Upper Three Sects, the gap was not just a little.
"112th place human, 49th-level Soul Master, possessing the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, rewards all Soul Rings with an increase of 3000 years, gains special skills..."
"67th place human, 63rd-level Soul Emperor, possessing the Soul Devouring Demon Spider, rewards all skills with an increase of 4000 years, gains special skills..."
Ling Yun looked at those familiar martial souls on the Potential Gold List, and couldn't help but feel that it was worthy of being the Potential Gold List.
Previously, the Combat Strength Gold List and Advancement Gold List were dominated by soul beasts.
The ratio of soul beasts to humans on the Advancement Gold List was about 2:1, and on the Combat Strength Gold List, it even reached 3:1.
But when the Potential Gold List opened, Ling Yun found that humans had the advantage on the Potential Gold List.
The ratio of soul beasts to humans on the Potential Gold List reached 1:1.5.
It was obvious that humans, with their family support and superior bloodlines, possessed a natural advantage in potential compared to most lone-wolf soul beasts.
These inherent advantages were undeniable, even to the gods.
Therefore, it wasn't surprising that humans outnumbered soul beasts on the Potential Gold List.
Within the top 50 on the Potential Gold List,
though the list still didn't reveal the names of those on it,
Ling Yun could tell at a glance that almost all of the top 50 were dominated by the Spirit Hall, Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Star Luo Imperial Family, and the Upper Three Sects.
These were the most powerful forces on the entire Douluo Continent.
Besides the exceptional bloodline, they also have abundant cultivation resources and strong luck.
As a lone wolf, Ling Yun didn't have any fantasies about the Potential Gold List.
He was just a Slime right now; what could he compete with those young masters from the big families?
He was already very fortunate to have seized the top spot on the second Gold List through sheer luck.
He had no regrets at all, so he felt no pressure.
