Chapter 150: Martial Soul Rankings

The golden flames enveloped Lin Yi's body, causing his hair to lengthen as a powerful current surged within him, intensifying his aura.

Lin Yi stated, "I won't use Spirit Skills in this battle."

Xiao Wu and the others nodded, and the battle commenced.

With Ning Rongrong's support, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's combat prowess soared even higher.

Xiao Wu took on the main attacking role while Zhu Zhuqing looked for opportunities to strike alongside her, allowing the combination of their strength to reach a level where they can defeat a Soul Saint.

The battle was fierce and lasted for three hours.

In the grove, Xiao Wu and the others lay on the ground, panting for breath.

Lin Yi stood with his arms folded, observing Xiao Wu and the rest.

Xiao Wu shook her head, "We can't do it, Brother Yi. You're incredibly powerful."

Lin Yi smiled gently, "With my Soul Power at level 60 and the power of my Martial Soul, you're already quite strong. If you rely solely on your physical bodies, it would be challenging to defeat me."

Lin Yi turned and said, "Let's head back."

Xiao Wu felt weak, "My legs are so shaky, I can't walk. Brother Yi, please help me."

Lin Yi nodded, "Alright, I'll assist you down the mountain."

Ning Rongrong also felt drained, "I gave my all to support Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing. My Soul Power is depleted, and I'm exhausted. Brother Yi, can you also support me? I should be fine on the road, but going downhill in my current state might result in an accident."

Lin Yi stepped forward and supported both Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't bring herself to say anything, so she struggled to her feet. However, after taking a few steps, she staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Lin Yi inquired, "Zhuqing, are you unable to walk any further?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, her icy demeanor preventing her from asking Lin Yi for support as casually as Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.

Lin Yi extended his offer, "Then... Shall I carry you?"

Simultaneously, Lin Yi couldn't help but spend an extra second looking at Zhu Zhuqing's chest as her clothing was pushed higher by his gesture.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed but still nodded slightly, "Mm..."

Lin Yi bent down, and Zhu Zhuqing wrapped her arms around his neck.

With Zhu Zhuqing on his back, Lin Yi helped Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong make their way back to the dormitory.

As they descended the mountain, Lin Yi couldn't help but notice the sensation from his back, and while Zhu Zhuqing attempted to avoid direct contact between her chest and Lin Yi's back, her well-developed figure made it nearly impossible to avoid.

Once Lin Yi had safely returned them to the dormitory, they went to rest.

Two days later, the Martial Soul Ranking was set to be revealed. Most soul masters across the continent didn't have high expectations, as there were only ten spots available, and they recognized their own limitations.

Tang San, however, was eagerly anticipating the announcement, confident in his ability to secure a spot.

At this very moment, the new ranking was unveiled, drawing attention from all corners of the world. Three bold letters stood out at the top: "Martial Soul List."

Tang San's confidence was unshaken. "I'm certain I'll secure a place on the Martial Soul Ranking. The Clear Sky Hammer is formidable and among the best martial souls on this continent."

In the Spirit Hall, someone muttered to themselves, "Where will Seraphim rank? She's sure to be on the list. Her innate soul power is at the twentieth level, and she possesses the first martial soul."

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue had departed from Tiandou City, waiting for the announcement in a remote mountainous area.

A voice echoed, "The Martial Soul List is about to announce its rankings."

Across the continent, various powerhouses eagerly awaited their turn to become Title Douluo, and the prospect of obtaining a powerful martial soul added to the excitement.

They speculated about the rewards. Would it be soul beast sacrifices, soul bones, or perhaps the remaining four resurrection lights?

"I hope it's a soul bone. After all, Title Douluo could always use another one."

"Boosting one's soul power level wouldn't be bad either."

...

On Sea God Island, Ma Hongjun was ecstatic, declaring, "With my Phoenix Martial Soul, I'm certain to make the list."

Oscar was similarly confident in his Martial Soul. Dai Mubai, however, harbored doubts. There were only ten spots available, and his Martial Soul faced tough competition.

The voice proclaimed, "We'll now unveil the tenth place on the Martial Soul Ranking."

Martial Soul List:

Tenth place: Soft Bone Rabbit, belonging to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu had absorbed four Celestial Grasses, enhancing her martial soul's rarity. Consequently, her martial spirit evolved into the Soft Bone Divine Rabbit, earning her a spot on the list.

The voice continued, "Xiao Wu is rewarded with an addition of 10,000 years for all her Soul Rings' lifespans."

This delighted Xiao Wu as her Soul Ring configuration underwent changes, now appearing as black, black, red, and red.

Lin Yi remarked to himself, "It seems this time the reward is an extension of Soul Ring Cultivation ages."

Meanwhile, Tang San wore a displeased expression. "Sky Water Team again? And it's 'Soft Bone Divine Rabbit' instead of 'Soft Bone Rabbit.' Even so, Sky Water Team's strength has improved. That's alright. I'll receive an even better reward. I'm confident my Martial Soul will secure a top-five spot. While there are many Clear Sky Hammer martial souls, only one will make the list. It will be determined by innate soul power level, and I have a complete innate soul power. So, the Clear Sky Hammer on the list must be mine."

Tang San was brimming with confidence. "My martial soul is definitely in the top five. I wonder what the reward will be? It would be fantastic if all my soul rings' ages were extended by 100,000 years."

Ma Hongjun and Oscar shared their excitement, also looking forward to an improvement of their soul ring's ages.

As the announcements continued, other powerhouses grew excited, aware that an improvement in soul ring's ages meant increased strength. Most Title Douluo did not possess soul rings exceeding 100,000 years in lifespan.

The Divine voice continued its announcements.

Martial Soul List:

Ninth place: Nether God Cat, belonging to Zhu Zhuqing.

Much like Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing had absorbed four Immortal Grasses, leading to an evolution of her martial spirit.

The voice proclaimed, "Zhu Zhuqing is rewarded with an addition of 20,000 years for all her soul rings' ages."

Tang San's displeasure deepened. "Sky Water Team again, and it's another Martial Soul evolution. How did they manage that?"

Tang San contemplated for a moment and then had a sudden realization. His thoughts raced, "Could it be because of Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden? The Cornucopia! My father mentioned the abundance of herbs there. If my calculations are correct, that place should be teeming with Immortal Herbs! Only Immortal Herbs could facilitate such rapid Martial Soul evolution. Did they visit Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden? No, I must go there too. I need the Ice and Fire Sacred Eyes."

Tang San proposed, "Uncle, Grandpa, let's visit Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden and gather Immortal Herbs!"

Tang Xiao wore a grim expression, questioning, "Are you suggesting we steal or snatch them?"

Tang San replied firmly, "No, we should negotiate with him and make a deal."
