Chapter 19 Martial Soul Ranking Eighth, Bibi Dong's Killing.
Intent Xiao Hongchen's smile froze on his face, inexplicably embarrassed.
Yes, his fate was truly unfortunate.
In the original timeline, he was suppressed by Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul, and his talent in Soul Tools was barely keeping up with Huo Yuhao.
But in this timeline, he encountered an even more monstrous existence.
The Dean, whose Soul Power level was unknown, and whose Soul Master level was a terrifying eleventh.
He still remembered when he and his sister Meng Hongchen were summoned, and how he had boasted arrogantly to the Dean.
A 28-year-old, level 97 Super Douluo, and a level nine Soul Master, he certainly had reason to be arrogant.
But his opponent was Li Tianyi. Could even the strongest talent fight against a cheat code?
Li Tianyi immediately made his move, creating a level ten Soul Tool in Xiao Hongchen's shocked gaze, completely subduing him.
"Hehe... Um, Dean, don't you think it's a bit chilly today? I'll go put on another layer."
Xiao Hongchen casually made an excuse and tiptoed away from this troublesome place.
Li Tianyi looked up at the sky; the huge sun was so bright he could barely open his eyes.
"Indeed, it's a bit chilly in August; an egg placed under it wouldn't cook immediately."
He laughed as he stood up, not caring at all.
Just then, the rankings continued to update, and the eighth place appeared without any struggle.
[Martial Soul Ranking Eighth: Taiyin Xuan Yue Rabbit]
[Holder: Xiao Wu (Tianxing Academy)]
[Evaluation: Xiao Wu, whose true form is a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit, has evolved her martial soul from the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit to the Taiyin Xuan Yue Rabbit, which governs space and has the Taiyin attribute.]
[Rewards: Soul Power level increased by 5 levels, all soul rings' age increased by 5,000 years, talent domain strengthened once, and a 100,000-year-old Moon Rabbit soul bone.]
The rankings sparked a flurry of discussion across the continent.
"The eighth-ranked spirit is a rabbit? Is a rabbit stronger than a crocodile or a bone dragon?"
"Perhaps it's because of its great potential. Look at its spirit power increased by five levels. In my experience, those who only increase their spirit power by one level are the strongest on the continent, while those who increase it by several levels are low-level spirit masters with immense potential."
"That makes sense. But Xiao Wu is actually a 100,000-year-old spirit beast in human form? That's a walking treasure of the Blood River! Moreover, the Spirit Rankings rewarded her with a 100,000-year-old spirit bone. That's a guaranteed two 100,000-year-old spirit bones and a 100,000-year-old spirit ring."
"If I could catch it, I might just defy fate!"
Some spirit masters harbored ulterior motives. A 100,000-year-old spirit beast in human form—such an opportunity is undoubtedly the greatest blessing from heaven.
"Don't drag me down with you if you want to die! Didn't you see the suffix of 'power'? Tianxing Academy, you dare?"
"Don't you even know how many strongmen and geniuses this academy has on its list? You pig-brain!"
Bibi Dong's nameless rage surged within the Spirit Hall.
She hadn't heard of Xiao Wu before, but the transformation of the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit reminded her of past events.
Two perfectly good 100,000-year-old transformed spirit beasts had escaped right under her nose.
"Good, good, good! I've searched high and low, and now it's right here!"
"Tianxing Academy, is it? I'm taking Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone. Your dean can't protect them, I said it!"
Bibi Dong immediately gave the order.
"Ling Yuan, Shen Gui, each of you lead an elite Soul Hunting team to the Heaven Dou Empire."
"No matter the method, get me the address of the Heavenly Path Academy, even if it means breaking ties with the Heaven Dou Empire. Also, order Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to expedite the process!"
"Once you find the address, don't alert them; report back immediately."
Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a dangerous light; she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Who knew how many people from the Heavenly Path Academy could still make the list?
However, it's certain that apart from Tang Chen and Poseidon, who are at the quasi-god level, no one else on the continent has reached the quasi-demigod level.
Based on her combat strength, realm, and the trump card of briefly using the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, she could definitely rank among the top three on the continent.
Tianxing Academy currently has many confirmed geniuses, as well as the two titled Douluo, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
But as long as they haven't reached the demigod level, there's nothing to fear.
Of course, what truly made Bibi Dong decide to break off all pretense was Xiao Wu's soul bone reward.
A 100,000-year soul bone reward, plus the soul bone she already possessed of the same age, was enough to make Bibi Dong take the risk.
Bibi Dong only needs two more soul bones; once she obtains them, she can complete the eighth trial of the Rakshasa God Trial. At that point, Bibi Dong, who only needs to focus on completing the ninth trial, won't be afraid of Tianxing Academy causing trouble.
After all, with the strength of a level 100 god, dealing with some titled Douluo is a piece of cake.
After receiving Bibi Dong's order, the entire Spirit Hall was on high alert, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
At Tianxing Academy, Xiao Wu, who had been joking with everyone, was suddenly enveloped in golden light.
Her soul power level increased from 45 to 50, just one soul ring away from breaking through to Soul King.
Her original four soul rings—one yellow, two purple, and one black—gained an additional five thousand years of age, becoming two purple and two black soul rings.
The adorable Taiyin Xuan Yue Rabbit behind her also had its talent domain mark on its brow become even more clearly visible.
However, when Xiao Wu broke free from the golden light, her first instinct wasn't to grab the 100,000-year soul bone reward from the Martial Soul Ranking, but to warily look around.
In this academy, apart from Li Tianyi, no one knew her true identity.
But now, with the Martial Soul Ranking exposed and her identity known throughout the continent, how could she trust anyone?
Even her classmates of many years, Xiao Wu dared not gamble, because everything before was based on the premise that she was human.
"Xiao Wu, you're actually a 100,000-year soul beast in human form?"
Shui Bing'er and the others, who had kept their distance from Xiao Wu, looked at her with curiosity.
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast transforming into human form, it feels so cool!"
Shui Yue'er managed to utter only this sentence after a long pause.
"Alright, Xiao Wu, do you still remember the promise I made to you back then?"
"I remember, Teacher. You said you wouldn't let anyone hurt me."
Xiao Wu still remembered that year when Li Tianyi's large hand, like steel bars, gripped the back of her neck, forcing her to transform.
"Then I'll say it again today: with me here, no force or person on the continent can harm you."
"Yes, Xiao Wu, you must trust your teacher, and you must trust us too."
"That's right, didn't Teacher talk about Soul Spirit Techniques in class before? He also advocated peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts."
Seeing that everyone didn't seem to mind her identity, Xiao Wu finally relaxed.
She stuck out her tongue and said shyly,
"Actually... I fell asleep in that class."
"You... you really deserve a beating!"
Everyone resumed their usual lively chatter.
Li Tianyi returned to his recliner and looked at the sky.
"I hope no foolish individual comes to their death; my divine position and power are no joke."
