Chapter 97 The Terrifying Number of 100,000-Year Soul Beasts!
In the Star Dou Great Forest, the two brothers were immersed in the joy of receiving their reward, while in the distant Spirit City, before the Papal Palace, the atmosphere became unusually strange and heavy.
Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the others had no interest in how strong Da Ming and Er Ming had become.
Their attention was entirely focused on the ranking numbers.
Twenty-second place: Titan Giant Ape.
Twenty-first place: Azure Bull Python.
Adding to the previous twenty-third place, Demon Soul Great White Shark.
These three were already the most powerful 100,000-year soul beasts known in their Spirit Hall intelligence network!
Yet, they were only ranked at the bottom of the list?!
"This…how is this possible?!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo swallowed hard, his voice hoarse.
"Big brother, did you notice?"
"According to the rules of the Heavenly Canopy, only soul beasts with domains can be listed."
"And generally speaking, only soul beasts with a cultivation level of 100,000 years can awaken a domain."
Golden Crocodile Douluo stretched out his finger, trembling as he gestured: "That means there are twenty-three positions on this list..."
"Does that mean that there are at least twenty-three 100,000-year soul beasts hidden in this continent and sea?!"
Upon hearing this, the entire audience fell silent.
Everyone's expression changed.
Twenty-three?!
What does that mean?
You must know that in the understanding of human soul masters, 100,000-year soul beasts are extremely rare.
The entire Spirit Hall's records show that there are no more than a handful!
But now, the Heavenly Canopy is telling them that there are twenty-three with domains alone!
What about those without domains?
"Not only that."
Qian Daoliu added solemnly, "Don't forget, the Heavenly Canopy has another rule."
"Only one from the same race can be on the list!"
Qian Daoliu's gaze swept over everyone, his tone carrying a deep sense of apprehension.
"What does this mean?"
"It means that perhaps within a certain race, there is more than one 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
Bibi Dong, having recovered from her earlier shock, also showed a hint of astonishment in her purple eyes upon hearing Qian Daoliu's analysis.
"If that's really the case…"
"Then our understanding of the soul beast world as human soul masters is merely the tip of the iceberg!"
"What monsters are still lurking deep within the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"What exists in that forbidden zone of life in the far north?"
"And that endless sea…"
In an instant, a fear of the unknown enveloped the hearts of all the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall.
Only now did they realize that while the Spirit Hall prided itself on its extensive knowledge of the continent, they were now like frogs in a well!
Not to mention the vast sea, even the core area of the far north was a place that even someone as powerful as Qian Daoliu had never set foot in.
The living environment in the far north is far harsher than in the Star Dou Great Forest, which suggests that the number of 100,000-year-old soul beasts in its core area is definitely higher than in Star Dou!
This is because they usually hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts in Star Dou, and never consider the sea or the far north.
"We must reassess the threat of soul beasts!"
Ghostly said in a hoarse voice.
"If these soul beasts unite and launch a beast tide..."
No one dared to continue.
Even the Spirit Hall, with its quasi-god level experts, would likely find the consequences unbearable.
Canglan Academy, back mountain.
Space slightly distorted, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
The next instant, Lin Yuan and his group appeared out of thin air.
"Little monster...you..."
"You've become a god now, your strength has truly undergone a qualitative change!"
Dugu Bo's tone was full of disbelief.
"From Spirit City to here, it's been several thousand miles, right?"
"And it's only been less than a minute?!"
"It feels like only a blink of an eye, and you're back already? That's too fast!"
Chen Xin nodded silently, the Seven Kill Sword in his hand trembling slightly.
He hadn't even felt the flow of space before he was in a different place.
Is this the realm of a god?
Ignoring distance, seemingly worlds apart.
Lin Yuan, upon hearing this, simply stretched lazily, walked to the familiar recliner, lay down, and let out a comfortable sigh.
"It's alright, actually I could have been faster."
"Mainly because I was carrying so many of you, I was afraid your bodies couldn't withstand the pressure of the spatial tearing, so I was a little slower."
Dugu Bo: "..."
Chen Xin: "..."
Listen to this, is this even human language?
A little slower?
Lin Yuan's words were not an exaggeration at all. The Immortal Wheel Eye was a divine artifact, and not just any ordinary one, with unparalleled mastery of space.
In addition, the Xuanyuan Sword also possessed the ability to tear through space.
This minute was considered slow.
On the other side.
Arou was holding Xiao Wu's hand, her eyes still carrying a hint of bewilderment as if from another world.
She looked around at the idyllic scenery, then at the powerful humans before her.
"Xiao Wu, you've suffered these past years, haven't you?"
Arou tenderly stroked her daughter's cheek.
"No! Not at all!"
Xiao Wu shook her head vigorously, her face beaming with happiness.
"Mom, I'm doing so well now!"
"With my teacher around, no one dares to bully me!"
As the two girls were chatting intimately, suddenly, the golden sky shone brightly once more.
Xiao Wu instinctively looked up and saw the newly announced twenty-first and twenty-second places.
Titan Giant Ape—Er Ming.
Azure Bull Python—Da Ming.
"Huh?" Xiao Wu's mouth dropped open in surprise.
"Da Ming and Er Ming are on the list too!"
"But why are their rankings so low?" She scratched her head, puzzled.
"One is twenty-one, the other twenty-two, they're at the very bottom!"
"They're the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts!"
In Xiao Wu's memory, Da Ming and Er Ming's strength had long surpassed her own during her soul beast days. How come they're at the bottom of this list?
A Rou was also puzzled, but then she suddenly thought of a possibility.
Because in the Star Dou Great Forest, Da Ming and Er Ming's location was merely on the edge of the core area.
In the true core area, in that perilous land, there were still so-called ferocious beasts!
Back then, her husband had gone into that perilous land alone and never came out again.
Lin Yuan heard Xiao Wu's mutterings, closed his eyes, and leisurely explained, "It's not surprising."
"Da Ming and Er Ming's cultivation levels are considered strong by humans, but in the true top-tier soul beast circle, they're only average."
"They've only accumulated a little over 100,000 years of cultivation, less than 200,000."
"Moreover, their domain development is relatively low; they rely more on innate instincts and haven't seriously developed them, which leads to their lower ranking."
