Chapter 2: Everyone watches with bated breath, each wanting to be at the top or in the top five.
Behind the temple.
All six attendants looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky outside the hall.
Even his usually calm and composed face couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise and curiosity.
"The Heavenly Dao Golden List... a ranking of martial soul potential... I've never heard of such a thing before."
The third honorific, Azure Phoenix Douluo, spoke first, his voice clear and melodious, filled with inquiry.
The four offerings feature a majestic lion and a fighting spirit with voices as loud as a bell.
"What a grand gesture! To be able to move the entire heavens—such power is almost a miracle!"
"But what exactly are the criteria for this judgment?"
The Fifth Offering Light Feather Douluo played with the feather in his hand and chuckled softly.
"Whatever the criteria, who else could be at the top of the list besides the young master's angelic martial soul?"
His tone was resolute, filled with boundless reverence for the legacy of the angelic ancestors.
This statement was immediately endorsed by the other worshippers.
"Guangling is absolutely right."
The six offerings to the Thousand-Jun Douluo nodded.
"Angel Martial Soul is of divine quality, carrying the glory of angels, with infinite potential, destined to become a god."
"If this list is fair, the top spot should belong to the young master."
The Seven Offerings to the Demon-Subduing Douluo also echoed this sentiment.
"Exactly!"
"Once the young master reaches the top of the list and receives the Heavenly Dao's reward, he will surely be able to complete the Divine Trial even faster and bring glory to our Martial Soul Hall!"
In their hearts, the supreme status of the Angelic Martial Soul is beyond question.
The topic quickly shifted away from Qian Renxue.
Lion Douluo looked at the Second Elder beside him, whose aura was the most profound and imposing, second only to Qian Daoliu, and said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, with the quality and power of my second brother's Golden Crocodile King, he's probably good enough to have a place on this list, and his ranking will definitely not be low!"
Azure Phoenix Douluo nodded in agreement.
"That's right, Second Brother's Golden Crocodile King is a top-tier mutated beast martial soul. In terms of domineering power, strength, and defense, how is it inferior to that so-called number one beast martial soul in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus?"
"I think the second brother will definitely be among the top five!"
Guangling Douluo also smiled and offered his compliments.
"Maybe we can squeeze a little further forward and compete with the Clear Sky Hammer."
Despite the compliments from his brothers, the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, remained expressionless on his wrinkled face.
But a hint of arrogance flashed in those deep eyes.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse.
"Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
"Hmph, just an empty reputation."
"If this list can truly discern potential, then there will be a fair judgment."
But in his heart, he already considered the top five on the list to be his for the taking!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi, along with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, stood outside the sect's main hall, their expressions solemn yet expectant.
"The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking... If we can make it onto the list, it might elevate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to a higher level!"
Ning Fengzhi's breathing became somewhat rapid.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is known as the best support in the world, but it is limited to seven levels. If this opportunity can be used to break through, the strength of the sect will undergo a qualitative change.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong also secretly hoped that if their martial souls could be listed, it would greatly enhance the sect's high-end combat power.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen stood with his hands behind his back, his body faintly crackling with lightning, and he laughed heartily.
"The number one beast martial soul in the world, my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, will surely occupy a place in the top five!"
"Let's see what rewards this golden list will bestow, helping my sect's might to once again shake the continent!"
The elders shouted loudly.
"Sect Master is mighty! Sect Master is invincible!"
Haotian Sect.
Although they live in seclusion, their presence in the heavens can be seen even within the sect.
Sect Master Tang Xiao and the elders gathered together, their eyes burning with intensity.
"The reputation of the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world, is not just a rumor."
"The top three on this list will definitely be the Haotian Hammer!"
Tang Xiao said with a smile.
They firmly believe that the Haotian Hammer should at least rank in the top three.
And without being immodest, they deserve to be number one.
Shrek Academy.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and the others, who had just finished a day of training, stared at the sky in disbelief.
"Third Brother, what... what is this? The Golden List of Martial Souls?"
Ma Hongjun's mouth dropped open.
Oscar murmured.
"Rewards include soul bones and immortal herbs? If only we could make it onto the list..."
A fighting spirit ignited in Dai Mubai's eyes.
"My Evil-Eyed White Tiger might just have a chance!"
Although Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, her tightly clenched hands revealed the turmoil within her.
Tang San's gaze was deep, and he activated his Purple Demon Eye, trying to see through the sky.
"My Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Silver Grass... dual martial souls, the top spot will surely be mine!"
After all, the master had told him that he couldn't let others know about his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit.
He could roughly guess that it was definitely a peerless martial spirit that was famous throughout the continent!
Therefore, the top spot, or even the top three, must have its own name!
Dean Flander pushed up his glasses, his small eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
"If someone from Shrek Academy makes the list, the academy's reputation... hehehe."
Yu Xiaogang frowned, lost in deep thought.
The entire continent, from the royal families of the two great empires to the four lower sects, and even countless independent soul masters, was in an uproar at this moment.
Countless people look up at the sky, their hearts filled with longing, speculation, and ambition.
Everyone believed that those top-tier martial spirits, already renowned for their power, would surely occupy the top spots on the list.
The eye of ice and fire.
"Taking stock of martial soul potential?"
"There's another reward?"
Dongfang Yao rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"I wonder what kind of martial spirit our power system would be considered in this world?"
Dongfang Jing analyzed the situation calmly.
"Based on the information we have gathered, the martial spirit system in this world leans towards the manifestation of rules and the inheritance of bloodlines. Potential assessment may be related to the upper limit of growth and the degree of compatibility with the rules."
Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan.
"The rewards can directly enhance the martial spirit, and even grant soul skills and soul bones, which is equivalent to the initiation of the Heavenly Dao. This is extremely tempting to people in this world and is enough to cause turmoil in the power structure."
"I wonder if we can make the list and get this opportunity!"
Li Bai finished the wine in the pot and said calmly.
"The world of fame and fortune reveals the true nature of humanity."
Lin Hua listened to his companions' discussion, his face still bearing a gentle smile, as if everything was under control.
"Just wait and see, this list of successful candidates may provide some unexpected answers."
He said it meaningfully.
Lin Hua had complete confidence in them.
Any hero's martial soul, no matter which one you take out, is comparable to a god-level martial soul!
Just then, the sky changed again, and golden characters slowly appeared.
[Douluo Continent Heavenly Dao Golden List: A Review of the Two Most Promising Martial Souls, Number Twentieth: ...]
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
[Douluo Continent Heavenly Dao Golden List: A Review of the Twenty Most Promising Martial Souls]
[20th Place: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex]
Representative: Yu Yuanzhen
[Affiliation: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan]
[Reason for inclusion: Top-tier beast spirit, possessing extremely strong control over lightning and a dragon-like physique, combining offense and defense, renowned for its power.]
However, its potential is limited by the purity of its bloodline and the degree of its dragonification, and it lacks a clear path to evolve into a higher level of life form (such as a true dragon or a dragon king). Therefore, its potential assessment stops here.
[Reward: Soul Ring age increased by 500 years!]
20th!
The number one beast martial soul in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, is only ranked twentieth!
"No--!!!"
