Xuanyuan Sword Scripture, Pupil of the Sword Heart!

Powerful Sword Qi clung to the blade, and Xiao Tian's aura reached its peak.

Even Tang San and Xiao Wu, who knew Xiao Tian well, changed expressions. Was Xiao Tian really going to kill Dai Mubai?

"Ten thousand swords... no, Ten Swords Return to Origin will do!"

In an instant, ten streaks of Sword Qi shot toward Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai was currently bolstered by his first and third soul skills, yet he had no confidence at all in blocking the attack.

Before the Sword Qi arrived, he could only desperately use the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave to resist, but he still ended up covered in blood.

Dai Mubai looked utterly miserable. His once-luxurious clothes had become tattered, and there was barely an uninjured spot on his body.

This was only because Xiao Tian did not want to make too much of a scene. He was still planning to keep farming Dai Mubai for rewards, so a lesson was enough. He had deliberately avoided all vital areas.

Otherwise, with his two-hundred-percent attack boost combined with his peak Sword Intent, Dai Mubai would not have had even the slightest chance of blocking it!

"How about it? Still want to continue? If not for the sake of your Headmaster Flender and Master, you'd already be a corpse!"

At that moment, someone hurried over from outside the Rose Hotel.

It was none other than the Four-Eyed Owl, Flender.

His shop was not far from here. He had been sleeping soundly in it when he suddenly sensed an incredibly familiar and powerful Sword Intent.

When he rushed over, he was shocked to discover that it was Xiao Tian, whom he had not seen for half a year, along with Master and the others. But after looking at the situation before him, something seemed off.

"Mu Bai, Xiao Tian, what happened here?"

Flender looked at the two with a grave expression. Seeing Dai Mubai seriously injured and with his Soul Power nearly depleted, his heart shook. Had Xiao Tian done this?

Only half a year had passed, yet Xiao Tian had grown considerably stronger again.

Dai Mubai no longer had any anger in his heart—or rather, he did not dare to. With his fighting spirit gone, he said dejectedly, "I lost."

Then he looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him and said helplessly, "Sorry, Zhu Qing. I shouldn't have acted like this..."

After Yu Xiaogang explained everything from the side, Flender's expression became rather unpleasant.

His student had apparently been caught visiting prostitutes by someone he had known before. And judging from the families they came from, their relationship did not seem simple.

Ding! Holy shit, congratulations to the host for shocking Tongzi once again! You defeated War God Dai Mubai before God of Speed Zhu Zhuqing, gained Zhu Zhuqing's favor, and triggered a double Critical Strike Reward.

Congratulations, host, for obtaining the cultivation technique "Xuanyuan Sword Scripture" and the five-thousand-year Eye External Soul Bone, Pupil of the Sword Heart!

Xiao Tian: ...

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

Xiao Tian's pupils could not help shrinking slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Xiao Tian, don't get excited. Don't get excited. Don't get excited!

Xiao Tian let out a long breath and calmed himself.

But to everyone else, it looked as though Xiao Tian was still somewhat angry.

Flender walked forward and smiled. "Xiao Tian, you still remember me, right? Little Gang told me that all of you will be coming to the academy I founded tomorrow. Mu Bai was in the wrong today. I'll definitely punish him severely. Until his Soul Power reaches Level 40, he won't be allowed to take a single step out of the academy. His training load will also be doubled. How does that sound?"

Dai Mubai: ...

Xiao Tian: ???

Did that count as punishment?

How could Xiao Tian fail to see through Flender's little scheme? He wanted to use this opportunity to push Dai Mubai harder and see whether he could break through to Level 40 soon, especially with Xiao Tian as such a source of pressure.

Still, having just farmed rewards from Dai Mubai, Xiao Tian was in a very good mood. He simply nodded and said nothing more.

He wanted to hurry back to his room and properly inspect the system rewards.

When Xiao Wu saw that Xiao Tian did not plan on going out anymore, she immediately lost interest as well. The three of them returned together to the rooms arranged by the hotel.

Master and Flender had not seen each other for a long time, so they took the opportunity to have a good chat. Tang San followed the two of them to Flender's shop.

"What are you still standing around for? Go find Xiao Ao and treat your injuries. Until your Soul Power reaches Level 40, don't even think about leaving the academy!"

Flender's four eyes glared fiercely at Dai Mubai.

How embarrassing!

A Level 38 Battle Soul Master had lost to a Level 36 Sword Cultivator, despite having three Soul Rings and two enhancement-type soul skills!

After tightly closing the door, Xiao Tian carefully examined today's gains.

"Xuanyuan Sword Scripture": An unparalleled cultivation technique passed down from ancient times. It contains endless mysteries of the Sword Path and the power of the sacred path. Those who cultivate it must comprehend the sword with their heart and use the sword to reach the divine. At the beginner stage, one can sense threads of cool Sword Intent flowing through the meridians, cleansing the marrow and remolding the bones, strengthening one's innate foundation...

Looking at the cultivation description of the "Xuanyuan Sword Scripture," Xiao Tian summed it up in sixteen words: Body Refinement with Sword, Spirit Refinement with Sword, Clear Sword Heart, Man-Sword Unity.

This technique was indeed far more impressive than Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill. But precisely because it was so extraordinary, and because he was constrained by this realm's Realm Rules, how much of the Sword Path's profound meaning he could comprehend would depend entirely on himself.

Still, with this technique, he could temporarily use the methods recorded within to refine his body and spirit—that was, his constitution and Mental Power.

Mental Power was indeed one of his weak points right now.

Then Xiao Tian shifted his gaze to the second External Soul Bone.

An Eye External Soul Bone. Needless to say, once he absorbed this Soul Bone, his Mental Power would definitely receive a certain boost.

This would be immensely helpful for his plan to absorb a ten-thousand-year black Soul Ring as his fourth Soul Ring.

Before becoming a Level 40 Soul Master, he had to cultivate his Mental Power to the level of a Soul King in order to withstand the resentment attacks contained within a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Without further nonsense, Xiao Tian took out the pair of eye External Soul Bones and began absorbing them.

Boom!

An hour later, Xiao Tian absorbed them with great ease, and his Soul Power rose to Level 38.

After using them, Xiao Tian discovered that his pupils had not changed much. However, cool silver-white sword blades flickered over his eyes. After looking in the mirror, Xiao Tian felt that they looked quite handsome.

Not only could this Soul Bone greatly enhance his Mental Power, it also granted him two soul skills—one passive and one active.

Sword Insight: It improved his ability to predict an enemy's moves, allowing him to quickly capture the trajectory of an opponent's actions. It could also see through all kinds of illusions, Charm, and more.

Sword Intent Gaze: It could condense his Sword Intent into his gaze, exerting mental pressure on enemies and launching attacks, similar to Spirit Impact.

Shocking! Is There a Titled Douluo Behind Shrek Academy?

The next day.

At Xiao Wu's urging, Zhu Zhuqing still decided to visit Shrek Academy.

Her impression of Dai Mubai had completely collapsed, but she was already out of options.

If Shrek Academy truly was good, then staying there to improve her strength would count as a choice.

Of course, the most important thing was that Xiao Tian was going too.

After they enrolled, she could find an opportunity to seek guidance from Xiao Tian. She wanted to become stronger!

At the same time, though she knew it was not quite right to think this way, she still held back a sliver of judgment toward Dai Mubai. Having been born into the Duke Family, she naturally knew how chaotic noble circles were. A powerful and influential man could not possibly remain with only one wife.

The main reason Dai Weisi had not taken anyone else was that his attention was focused on the coordination between the two of them and the competition for the throne.

That was what angered Zhu Zhuqing the most. She did not object to having three wives and four concubines, because she knew such things were unavoidable.

But Dai Mubai had indulged himself so recklessly during the Royal Selection. Did that not mean he had already given up?

Dai Weisi was probably clearer on this point. Although he was currently stronger than Dai Mubai, he maintained a dismissive attitude outwardly while taking him seriously in private. It was evident from the fact that he had not taken concubines and had not spent too much time fooling around.

Of course, this was Zhu Zhuqing's own conclusion based on what she had seen and heard. That was why she had been so cold when she saw Dai Mubai and the pair of Twins beside him.

Yet she had no choice now. With her current strength, she could not possibly fight Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun alone. She could only place her hopes on Dai Mubai.

Though he could not beat Xiao Tian, he was still Level 38. If he worked hard from now on, perhaps he could narrow the gap between himself and Dai Weisi. They were not without a chance of winning.

(Zhu Zhuqing having this mindset right now is reasonable, right? She couldn't possibly erase all of Dai Mubai's chances at once just because she was curious. Things had to progress gradually.)

Led by Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Tian and the others gradually left Suotuo City and arrived at a nearby village.

"Master, are you sure Shrek Academy is here?"

Xiao Wu frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

Yu Xiaogang had promised that Shrek Academy would not disappoint them, but what was with this environment?

This place looked even worse than Nuoding Academy. At least Nuoding Academy was located in the city. This place was directly in the outskirts beyond the city. Other than a few villagers, there seemed to be nothing at all.

Yu Xiaogang still explained confidently, "Xiao Wu, haven't you heard that some truly powerful experts prefer places with fewer people?"

Xiao Wu did not understand what Yu Xiaogang meant, but Xiao Tian and Tang San did.

Tang San was somewhat curious about it, while Xiao Tian smiled disdainfully.

Was Yu Xiaogang not trying to say that Shrek Academy was free from worldly disturbances, some so-called Hidden Sect Academy, and that every teacher inside was a reclusive expert?

Xiao Tian truly wanted to laugh.

"Oh? So according to Master, the teachers at Shrek Academy are all very powerful? Can I understand it this way: Headmaster Flender, a Soul Sage, is merely the academy's strongest Combat Power on the surface, while a Titled Douluo is hidden within? Otherwise, what kind of powerful expert would that be?

According to the knowledge Master explained before, Titled Douluo are extremely rare on the continent. It must be like that, then. Unless necessary, they only wish to cultivate diligently and advance toward higher realms..."

The moment Xiao Wu heard Xiao Tian mention Titled Douluo, her body stiffened.

Xiao Tian calmly took Xiao Wu's little hand and held it tightly, signaling for her not to panic.

But when Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing saw that intimate gesture, both of their eyes flickered involuntarily.

Tang San also looked curiously at Yu Xiaogang. Did Shrek Academy truly have a Titled Douluo?

Yu Xiaogang: ...

Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened, but faced with everyone's gazes gathering on him, he could only force himself to say, "Yes! It's just that you won't be able to see him. He usually isn't in the academy. He'll only return if the academy faces danger."

When Xiao Wu heard Yu Xiaogang say that Shrek Academy truly had a Titled Douluo, her face turned pale. She unconsciously moved closer to Xiao Tian and trembled slightly.

Xiao Tian had not expected Yu Xiaogang to be so shameless. Where would Shrek Academy get a Titled Douluo?

Could this rundown academy even afford to support one?

"Wow, Master, then what is this Titled Douluo's title? Could you tell us?"

Xiao Tian asked directly.

He wanted to see exactly which title Yu Xiaogang would come up with!

At the same time, he slowly infused gentle Soul Power into Xiao Wu's body to soothe her, then transmitted his voice to tell her to trust him and not worry about her identity being exposed.

This was not a good time to tell Xiao Wu that her identity had already been exposed under Tang Hao's watchful eye. He would tell her after Tang Hao left.

Yu Xiaogang felt that the people before him were not easy to fool. Then he suddenly remembered Tang Hao appearing before him several years ago.

He was now Tang San's teacher, Tang Hao was Tang San's father, and they were about to join Shrek.

So did that not mean Tang Hao was also part of Shrek Academy?

One simple equation solved everything instantly!

After figuring it out, Yu Xiaogang's eyes immediately lit up!

But when he thought of Tang Hao's current identity, he immediately said solemnly, "His identity is special. Your strength is still too low, so I can't tell you yet. Once he appears, he will cause a sensation across the continent. The only thing I can say is that he is very strong. Even the two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are no match for him!"

Yu Xiaogang: Your Excellency Tang Hao, if you happen to be nearby, please don't blame me!
