Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 7 The Golden Crocodile King Makes the List
Golden light swirled above the sky.

Before the mainland's soul masters had much time to digest the top three rankings, the vast voice of the Heavenly Dao once again resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
[Martial Soul Ranking, 17th Place: Bone Dragon]

[Owner: Gu Rong (Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School)]

[Rating: Top-tier defensive/space-type beast spirit, with bones that can transform into dragons, possessing ultimate physical defense and the ability to manipulate space.]

[Reward: Soul Power level increased by one level, all Soul Ring age increased by 1,500 years, Spatial Power Control +10%]

"Bones!"

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo Chen Xin cried out in surprise and looked sharply at his close friend beside him.

Gu Rong was also dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief and a hint of ecstasy.

His Bone Dragon Martial Soul actually made the list!

Although it's only seventeenth place, it's still an honor to be in the top twenty across the entire continent!

And the rewards are so generous!

call out!
The golden beam of light fell precisely, enveloping the ancient banyan tree's towering form.

A surge of immense energy coursed through him, and his peak level 95 soul power instantly broke through, propelling him into the ranks of level 96 Super Douluo!

At the same time, his nine spirit rings (two yellow, two purple, and five black) shone brightly, and his lifespan increased rapidly.

The configuration eventually stabilized at four purple and five black.
The first two spirit rings both crossed the millennium mark!
A more profound and powerful aura, carrying the sensation of spatial ripples, spread from the ancient banyan tree.

He felt the surging power within him and his increasingly resilient bones, and couldn't help but roar to the sky, his voice shaking the surrounding area!

"Hahaha! Excellent! What a wonderful reward from Heaven!"

Gu Rong laughed heartily, patting his chest forcefully, producing a metallic clang.

Ning Fengzhi also showed a gratified smile, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations on Uncle Gu's great progress in strength!"

Chen Xin was happy for his old friend, but a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

He had a deep understanding of the Bone Dragon's power, especially its unpredictable spatial abilities, which were considered divine skills for both survival and controlling the battlefield.

Such a martial spirit is only ranked seventeenth?
"Feng Zhi, even Old Bone's Bone Dragon is only seventeen. This list is incredibly valuable."

"My Seven Kill Sword."

Chen Xin said in a deep voice.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, his smile fading, and his tone became serious: "Uncle Jian's Seven Kill Sword is the number one offensive weapon spirit in the world, so its ranking will definitely be higher. However, the competition for those higher positions will probably be fiercer than we can imagine, so we need to be mentally prepared."

After the initial joy, Gu Rong calmed down.

He clicked his tongue and said, "Seventeenth place. It seems that the old monsters in this world know more than we do."

"Feng Zhi, it seems that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also needs to make plans soon."

The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was immersed in the joy of Bone Douluo being listed and in contemplation about the future.

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong sat high on her throne, her cold gaze sweeping over the words "Bone Dragon, 17th Place" on the sky, a disdainful smile curving her lips.

"A mere bone dragon is only troublesome because of its spatial abilities. In terms of quality and potential, how can it compare to my Spider Emperor?"

"Ranking it seventeenth is reasonable."

She muttered to herself, her resentment at her low ranking of her twin martial souls subsiding somewhat.

After all, even the Bone Dragon, known for its defense and spatial abilities, is ranked lower, making her ranking seem less unacceptable.

However, the next moment, when the voice of the Heavenly Dao rang out again, Bibi Dong's face instantly darkened.

[Spirit Ranking, 16th Place: Golden Crocodile King] [Holder: Golden Crocodile Douluo (Spirit Hall)]

[Rating: Top-tier offensive beast spirit, possessing extreme strength and defense, ancient bloodline, and the might of a king.]

[Rewards: Soul Power level increased by 1 level, all Soul Ring age increased by 2,000 years, Ancient Bloodline Awakening of Martial Soul +20%]

"What?! The Golden Crocodile King is only sixteenth?!"

Bibi Dong suddenly stood up, her phoenix eyes flashing with cold light.

The powerful aura caused the newly renovated Papal Palace to tremble slightly once again.

Golden Crocodile King!

This is the martial soul of the Golden Crocodile, the second elder of the Hall of Worship and a peak level 98 Douluo!

Its quality and bloodline are so strong that it is definitely one of the top-tier beast spirits!

In her opinion, if she hadn't relied on her innate full soul power and the advantage of twin martial souls, her cultivation speed would not have been as fast as Golden Crocodile Douluo's.

Although she disliked the group of people in the Hall of Offerings, the power of the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul was undeniable.

But in reality, the Golden Crocodile King only ranked sixteenth!

Only one place higher than the Bone Dragon! This is utterly absurd!
This means that there are at least fifteen more martial souls above the Golden Crocodile King!
How can this be?

When did Douluo Continent hide so many peerless martial souls?
A strong sense of unease and that things were completely out of control surged into Bibi Dong's heart once again.

Enshrined in the temple.

When they heard "Golden Crocodile King, number sixteen," all the worshippers were stunned.

Immediately, everyone turned their gaze to the Golden Crocodile Douluo standing behind Qian Daoliu.

Golden Crocodile Douluo himself was also stunned, his rugged face filled with disbelief.

He had absolute confidence in his Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul, an ancient royal bloodline comparable to a true dragon!
He thought that breaking into the top ten might be difficult, but being in the top twelve or thirteen was always a sure thing.

"Ten-sixteen?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was dry, and he felt his face burning, especially in front of the other elders, this ranking was really embarrassing.

Qian Daoliu slowly turned around, his golden eyes calm and unwavering. He looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo and said indifferently, "Second brother, the Heavenly Dao Ranking has its own criteria for judgment. Being able to be on the list is already a blessing, not to mention the considerable rewards. Go, accept your opportunity."

Golden Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration in his heart, and respectfully said, "Yes, elder brother."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a golden beam of light descended.

boom!
The immense energy poured into Golden Crocodile Douluo's burly body, and his peak level 98 soul power instantly boiled over, shattering the solid barrier that had trapped him for decades!

Level 99!
Extreme Douluo!

A terrifying pressure, far more violent and primal than before, erupted.

Behind Golden Crocodile Douluo, a gigantic crocodile phantom covered in dark gold scales faintly appeared, roaring silently to the sky, full of power!
His original soul ring configuration was two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. Under the tempering of golden energy, it was instantly upgraded to four purple, four black, and one red.

The age limit of all his spirit rings was increased by two thousand years, which made the overall quality of his spirit rings leap to a new level!
"Hahaha! Good! Such powerful strength!"

As Golden Crocodile Douluo felt the surging soul power within his body and the unprecedented realm he had reached, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

My previous frustration vanished completely.

Strength is the foundation!

What does it matter if I'm ranked sixteenth, as long as I can break through to the Limit Douluo level?
