Chapter 53 Breaking through level 95, the new ranking list has finally arrived!
"Can break through two levels in succession!"
Upon hearing the system's voice, Ye Han couldn't help but admire it.
Mulan is quite efficient; she must have gotten both women to take the magic herb.
Use two immortal herbs to exchange for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's faith power to be raised by two levels.
This deal was a good one!
Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly:
"Lord City Lord, what's wrong?"
Ye Han slowly stood up and said solemnly:
"Wan'er, I need to go into seclusion for another half day to break through. During this half day, I will trouble you to take care of the affairs inside and outside Chang'an."
Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback:
"Lord City Lord, you're about to break through again. Could it be related to those two newly recruited members?!"
Ye Han nodded slightly, said no more, and left in a flash.
The new ranking will be announced in one day, and there will only be half a day left after I come out of seclusion.
...
Half a day passes in the blink of an eye.
When Ye Han pushed open the door to the seclusion room again, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
Breaking through two levels in a row feels so different. For most people, it would take at least several years to break through two levels.
However, the improvement was not as great as imagined. Only when a Title Douluo reaches level 95 does the difference of one level become a world of difference.
"Lord City Lord!"
As soon as he came out, he saw Shangguan Wan'er waiting there. When she saw him, her face immediately lit up with joy.
"Has anything happened in the past half day?"
Ye Han looked up at her, smiled faintly, and asked.
"My Lord, there are two things I need to report to you."
Shangguan Wan'er composed herself and spoke clearly and logically:
"Firstly, after Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, whom Hua Mulan brought back, consumed the immortal herb, their martial souls both underwent miraculous evolution!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Han's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had anticipated Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolution, but Zhu Zhuqing's...
But on second thought, it makes sense; the immortal herbs of Chang'an, after undergoing the "ultimate" Linze treatment, naturally have more miraculous effects.
Secondly.
At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er continued:
"Poison Douluo Dugu Bo has arrived with his granddaughter Dugu Yan, as well as Ye Lingling, the inheritor of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. She has also come seeking the 'ultimate' blessing to heal the defects of her Martial Soul, and is willing to join Chang'an for life as a price."
Ye Han's eyes lit up.
That's great! Ye Lingling is also a character from the original novel, so it's buy one get one free.
However, she didn't have many scenes in the original work, so it's unclear how much faith power she could provide.
Where are they now?
"Reporting to the City Lord, we have been waiting in the Taiji Hall for quite some time."
"In that case, come with me to see him."
...
Taiji Hall is the main hall in the city.
The palace is magnificent, and the walls and pillars are carved with stories of kings and the long history of the world.
When Ye Han and Shangguan Wan'er arrived at the main hall, they saw three people standing solemnly waiting inside.
Dugu Bo, dressed in a green robe, still had his characteristic stern expression, but now showed much more respect.
Dugu Yan has short, deep purple hair and wears a purple skirt that accentuates her beautiful figure. Her bewitching green eyes exude a unique charm.
Ye Lingling has delicate features, short, snow-gray hair, and wears a snow-white short skirt. She has a slender and graceful figure and a cool temperament with a touch of gentleness.
Upon seeing Ye Han enter, Dugu Bo bowed deeply, his voice respectful:
"Your subordinate, Dugu Bo, greets Your Lordship!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were taken aback at first.
The young city lord before them was even younger and more handsome than they had imagined.
But the invisible aura surrounding them made them lack even the courage to look up and look directly at them.
But the two quickly realized what was happening and immediately bowed in response.
"This humble girl, Dugu Yan/Ye Lingling, pays her respects to the City Lord!"
Ye Han walked to the main seat and sat down, his gaze sweeping over the three of them, and got straight to the point:
"I know all your intentions. I'll ask you one last time: are you sure you want to join Chang'an for life in exchange for the 'ultimate' grace?"
"Once you agree, there's no going back!"
Dugu Yan, being straightforward, immediately nodded:
"I'm certain! As long as my martial spirit defect can be cured, I am willing to be loyal to Chang'an and you, Lord City Lord, forever!"
Ye Lingling also raised her head, her eyes resolute:
"The Nine Heart Begonia lineage has been plagued by a flawed martial soul for generations. If we can gain the City Lord's assistance, Lingling will serve Chang'an and you, the City Lord, for the rest of her life, and will never regret it!"
Seeing the two women's resolute attitude, Ye Han nodded in satisfaction:
"Very well. From this day forward, you will all be subjects of Chang'an."
He turned to Shangguan Wan'er beside him and gave her instructions:
"Wan'er, you will be in charge of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. You will take care of their subsequent arrangements and all other matters. The Heavenly Curtain will descend soon, and I need to go back to make some preparations."
"Yes, ma'am!" Shangguan Wan'er bowed and replied.
Ye Han said no more, got up and left in a flash.
After his figure disappeared, Dugu Yan quietly tugged at Ye Lingling's sleeve, lowered her voice, and her eyes were filled with infatuation:
"Lingling, that city lord is absolutely stunning in both appearance and temperament. He's my ideal type! Only a man like him is worthy of my pursuit!"
Ye Lingling glanced at Shangguan Wan'er discreetly and whispered a word of advice:
"Shh, this senior sister is looking at the city lord strangely. It seems like they have some secret relationship. Don't let her hear you."
Dugu Yan then realized what was happening and quickly shut her mouth.
But deep in her heart, a seed of "admiration" was quietly planted.
...
After Ye Han returned to the city lord's mansion.
About two and a half incense sticks later...
The system's voice rang in my mind again:
[bite--!]
[Detected that [Ye Lingling] has developed faith in the host, contributing [233] faith power!]
[Detected that [Dugu Yan] has developed faith in the host, contributing [333] faith power!]
[Current Faith Power [11800], has reached the threshold for breaking through [Level 95], host level is about to increase!]
[Note: After level 95, the Faith Power required to level up doubles, now requiring 1000 Faith Power per level!]
"Wan'er was quite efficient; she must have given the two girls the immortal herbs as well."
Ye Han murmured to himself, then frowned upon seeing the system notification.
The amount of faith power provided by Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan was not much, which is probably related to their limited screen time in the original novel.
Each subsequent level requires 1,000 faith points. To reach level 99, you need to accumulate 15,500 faith points, which requires an additional 3,700.
It's not a lot, but it's not a small amount either. At least some more characters from the original work need to be recruited, the more important the characters in the original work, the better.
I wonder if recruiting soul beasts would be useful?
People like the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor from the far north have good reputations and are crucial in the original Douluo Continent II story. Recruiting them would be...
"Alright, I'll go into seclusion for another half day to break through."
"The moment we emerge from seclusion will be the moment the new Heavenly Ranking descends!"
Ye Han moved and disappeared from the spot again, entering the secret chamber for seclusion.
...
Half a day passes in the blink of an eye.
Ye Han successfully broke through to level 95 and came to the back mountain of the city lord's mansion to wait.
Shangguan Wan'er was already there and reported that Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan's martial souls had also broken through.
Ye Han did not inquire about the extent of the two women's martial soul breakthroughs, but simply waited quietly for the arrival of the new Heavenly Ranking.
At this very moment, the entire continent... no! The entire plane of existence was also eagerly anticipating it. After two and a half full days, it finally arrived!
"Boom!"
Finally, the celestial canopy, which had been suspended in the sky for two and a half days, reassembled into a new list after a loud bang:
[The will of Heaven manifests on the Golden Ranking, ranking second on the Martial Soul Quality Ranking!]
[Based on the overall quality of all martial souls, the top thirty have been ranked!]
[Rewards are given to all who make the list, with higher rankings yielding richer rewards, awarded to the most outstanding current owner of the Martial Soul!]
[Note: This ranking only considers the origin of a martial soul, including 'talent domain' and 'origin evolution', and does not include factors such as 'soul master' and 'soul ring'!]
