Chapter 360: The Latest Battle Strength Rankings, Martial Soul Hall's Absolute Dominance
Ranked second, Golden Crocodile Douluo, peak 99th level.
Ranked third, Lion Douluo, peak 99th level.
Ranked fourth, Qing Luan Douluo, peak 99th level.
Ranked fifth, Sword Douluo, 99th level.
Ranked sixth, Demon Slayer Douluo, 99th level.
Ranked seventh, Thousand Jun Douluo, 99th level.
Ranked eighth, Light Wing Douluo, 99th level.
Ranked ninth, Bone Douluo, 98th level.
Ranked tenth, Qing Yuan Douluo, peak 97th level.
The top ten spots were still dominated by the Martial Soul Hall, with eight of the positions occupied by its members.
Poison Douluo still held the steady eleventh spot, at 97th-level soul power.
Twelfth, Angel Legion Leader, 95th-level soul power.
Rank thirteenth to sixteenth were taken up by ordinary Title Douluo elders of the Martial Soul Hall, including Snake Spear Douluo, all of whom were at the 96th level.
Ye Wen was particularly surprised that the Angel Legion Leader, with a 95th-level soul power, was ranked higher than the four 96th-level Title Douluo, such as Snake Spear.
It's worth noting that the difference between 95th and 96th levels was a significant divide, with a huge gap in both soul power and overall strength.
No wonder the Angel Legion Leader, like Yang Wudi, was one of the individuals Ye Wen greatly valued.
Ranked seventeenth, Yang Wudi, peak 92nd level.
As Ye Wen had predicted, once Yang Wudi broke through to Title Douluo, his battle strength had surged. His ranking had drastically increased, but a 92nd level still struggled to challenge the 96th-level Title Douluos.
However, Yang Wudi was now the strongest Title Douluo below level 96, and his ranking had surged from 26th to 17th, which was an incredibly rapid pace.
It was known that it was very difficult to rise even one rank from the top of the rankings.
Ranked eighteenth, Hu Yan Zhen, 95th-level soul power.
Ranked nineteenth, Feng Bai Long, the leader of the Wind Sword Sect, 95th-level soul power.
Ranked twentieth, Golden Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, peak 94th level.
Out of the top twenty, the Martial Soul Hall had claimed fourteen spots, maintaining its absolute dominance.
"Within seven years, most of the 1,008 participants should reach 99th-level soul power, that shouldn't be too difficult," Ye Wen said, nodding to himself as he looked away from the battle strength rankings.
Afterward, Ye Wen headed to the third trial area.
After nearly two years, the majority of the participants had already spent some time in the third trial.
The third trial of the Beast God was called the Beast God Body Refinement!
As the name suggested, it was about using the Beast God's divine power to refine the body of the participants and enhance their physical strength.
To eventually fuse with a divine position, the body's strength must be sufficient. If the body was too weak, the fusion would collapse, similar to the way a Soul Ring would explode due to insufficient physical strength.
At this moment, Ye Wen's particular focus, Su Yuntao, had also been in the third trial for nearly a week, undergoing the refinement process.
When Su Yuntao couldn't endure and came out of the third trial, Ye Wen immediately approached him.
"How is it, Su Yuntao? Do you feel confident about completing the third trial?" Ye Wen asked.
"Beast God!" Su Yuntao immediately stood up when he saw Ye Wen, bowing deeply in respect, then replied:
"Your Excellency Beast God, the third trial is very difficult. Right now, I can only hold on for four hours at most each day. However, I'm confident that I can fully complete the third trial!"
"However... however!" Su Yuntao hesitated, sighing.
"What is it?" Ye Wen asked.
"It's just... I feel I've failed to live up to your expectations. You gave me such a precious immortal herb and even gave me five trials, with special care, but my current strength and ranking are still at the bottom..."
"I... I feel ashamed of Your Excellency's cultivation!" Su Yuntao said with regret.
"Heh."
Ye Wen shook his head and smiled, patting Su Yuntao's shoulder. "Su Yuntao, you've done very well. Among the 1,001 participants, you started with the lowest rank. When you came here, you were only at level 41, the only Soul Master, while everyone else started as Soul Kings."
"Your soul power has already started catching up quickly with the main group. Being at the bottom right now doesn't matter. Before the trials are finished, you can climb to the top."
"Su Yuntao, tell me, what is your goal?" Ye Wen asked loudly.
Su Yuntao immediately straightened his back. "To Your Excellency Beast God, my goal is to be among the top 500 in the final battle strength ranking!"
"No! Your goal is too low! From now on, I'll set a goal for you. Before all the trials are finished, your battle strength ranking must be in the top 100!"
"Top 100! But... Beast God, I don't think I can do that!" Su Yuntao was stunned and lacked confidence.
"Su Yuntao, you need to believe in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, you'll never succeed," Ye Wen encouraged him, then added, "Though you started at a low point, there are advantages to starting from the bottom."
"Beast God, what do you mean?" Su Yuntao was confused.
"I'll ask you, what aspect of your abilities does the third trial enhance?"
Su Yuntao replied, "The body! Physical strength, constitution!"
"Exactly, the stronger your body is, the higher the limit of Soul Rings you can absorb!"
"Yes, Beast God!" Su Yuntao agreed.
"Those top 100 Title Douluos cannot enjoy the benefits of the third trial, but you can. After the third trial and the Beast God's divine power refining your physical strength, you will be able to absorb the seventh, eighth, and even ninth Soul Rings!"
"Absorbing Soul Rings beyond your level will increase your soul power quickly, and your level will rise faster. The ages of the seventh, eighth, and ninth Soul Rings will also be higher than most of the top 100. Am I right, Su Yuntao?" Ye Wen asked.
Su Yuntao's eyes were now filled with light and determination.
"Now, Su Yuntao, tell me! Do you have the confidence to make it into the top 100 battle strength rankings?" Ye Wen asked.
"Yes!!" Su Yuntao shouted. "Beast God, I have confidence!!"
"Good, keep going with the trial," Ye Wen waved his hand.
"Yes! Beast God!" Su Yuntao took a short rest and then continued his intense training. He was definitely one of the few participants who was working the hardest.
Ye Wen glanced at the time, knowing that in about 16 days, it would mark exactly two years since the trials began. Then, the third annual 1V1 elimination tournament would begin.
This was Ye Wen's annual way of assessing their latest battle strengths.
Soon, 16 days passed in the blink of an eye.
The third 1V1 personal elimination tournament arrived again. Compared to the previous ones, it had greatly changed because the number of Title Douluos had already surpassed 100.
As a result, many of the battles were fierce and exciting.
It was much more interesting than the initial matches, and Ye Wen watched eagerly.
"Not bad, not bad."
