Xu Zihuang headed south from outside Shrek City's East City Gate, stopping beside a stretch of woods after about fifteen minutes.
Shrek City was located in the south-central region of the Douluo Continent. The climate was warm, and although the trees were not as towering as those in the south of the Sun Moon Empire, their average height still exceeded thirty meters. Since few people passed through here, the woods had grown exceptionally well, their lush branches and leaves blocking out much of the sunlight.
Xu Zihuang walked slowly nearly a hundred meters into the depths of the woods before calmly turning around.
As though responding to the chill in his eyes, an elderly man in black with a heavy, imposing aura appeared out of thin air.
It was Wang Xiao, who had left Yueshu Island for Dragon City on the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire half a year ago.
"Young Master, have you already obtained your Third Soul Ring?" Wang Xiao asked in surprise as he sensed the Soul Power fluctuation within Xu Zihuang. Having advanced to the rank of Title Douluo, it was naturally not difficult for him to discern Xu Zihuang's true Cultivation.
Xu Zihuang nodded calmly.
"Just a fortunate coincidence. I happened to fuse with a suitable Soul Ring on the way to Shrek Academy."
Wang Xiao understood Xu Zihuang's personality well and did not ask further. He retrieved a letter from his Soul Tool.
The words "Dragon City" were stamped across the top of the letter in gold foil.
"Young Master, this is a letter of recommendation personally written by the Dragon City Lord. All information regarding your background is exactly as we discussed before. However, your uncle hopes that you can visit the Heavenly Dragon Gate someday. He wishes to meet you
