Purple God Bell

As the deep night slowly passed, morning arrived in the blink of an eye.

Yu Xiaogang sat cross-legged in his dormitory, his eyes tightly shut, immersed in a deep sleep like an old monk.

However, his consciousness had already drifted outside his body, observing his surroundings with his spirit power.

At this moment, within Yu Xiaogang's mind, his azure spirit power flowed continuously. Even without the aid of the Magic Spider Compound Eye, he could achieve spirit power detachment. His overall spirit power level was now comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Douluo.

This was the effect of the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull. With the cultivation boost from the 50,000-year-old Phantom Spirit Fox, Yu Xiaogang's Purple Demon Eye had reached the Mustard Seed Peak realm. The next step would be to break through to the highest Vast Realm.

"Moreover, the spirit ability brought by this skull has given me a great surprise."

Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes slightly, then recalled the information that had just appeared in his mind.

The spirit ability brought by the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull was named the Purple God Bell.

Its effect was to condense a spirit power barrier on the surface of the body, which could neutralize spirit power attacks and conceal one's aura. Even soul masters of the same spirit power realm as himself could not detect it; only soul masters a major realm higher could see through it.

"This means that if I activate the Purple God Bell now, only soul masters at the Titled Douluo level will be able to see through my presence. I wonder how much the effect of this spirit ability will increase with the enhancement of the Golden Triangle Formation. If it can hide me from Titled Douluo, there will be a lot of room for maneuver."

Yu Xiaogang slowly opened his eyes, a faint azure light flashing within them before disappearing.

Looking at the sunlight shining into the room from outside the window, Yu Xiaogang got up and stretched his body, then walked out of the dormitory.

Despite not sleeping all night, Yu Xiaogang felt exceptionally energetic. In fact, at the Soul Douluo realm, due to their powerful spirit power, sleep was no longer a necessity. Usually, they only needed to close their eyes and rest for a short while each day to alleviate the fatigue of the entire day.

Yu Xiaogang did not head to the teaching building as usual, but instead walked towards the Dean's Office.

For the next period, he would focus his energy on his own cultivation and would not have time to be responsible for the academy's teaching courses.

However, Yu Xiaogang had already compiled the textbooks and formulated the teaching plan. He was going to see Flender now to explain the specific details. As long as the academy's teachers followed this plan, it would definitely improve the academy's teaching effectiveness.

This was core to the overall teaching of Shrek Academy and would be more useful than Yu Xiaogang teaching in person.

The entire morning, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong were in the office discussing the details of the academy's teaching. It wasn't until the class dismissal bell rang in the morning that all matters were concluded.

Flender stacked all the books and documents on the table, letting out a long sigh. "It's good that we can use the students' holiday to prepare the textbooks and let the teachers familiarize themselves with the teaching plan beforehand. Otherwise, such a large undertaking would be quite difficult."

"The plan Xiaogang provided is very comprehensive. As long as it's executed diligently, there won't be any problems," Liu Erlong said with a smile.

The three of them smiled and nodded. Just then, a knock came from outside the door.

Zhao Wuji then pushed open the office door and announced loudly, "Boss, someone from the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan has arrived."

Zhao Wuji then led a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe into the office. The three people inside turned to look and immediately recognized the newcomer as Yu Xiaogang's third brother, Yu Xiaofeng.

Yu Xiaofeng walked up to everyone, paid his respects in turn, and then said, "Since Shrek Academy won the championship of this session's Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, the clan has specifically sent me to offer congratulations."

As the Dean, Flender spoke first out of respect, "Brother Xiaofeng, you're too kind. Please, sit."

Everyone sat down. Yu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment before continuing, "Since we're all family here, I'll get straight to the point. When the news from Shrek Academy reached the family, they were quite shocked. Especially when Second Brother's theory was proven, it caused a huge stir within the clan."

"Now seems like the perfect time. Second Brother, do you have any plans to return to the family?"

All eyes turned to Yu Xiaogang. After a moment of thought, Yu Xiaogang nodded heavily and said, "It is time to return to the family."

"Then the sooner, the better. Let's depart now, lest those old guys come up with some new tricks to save face," Yu Xiaofeng added immediately.

"Alright."

Yu Xiaogang made his decision instantly and then looked at Flender and Liu Erlong.

Seeing this, Flender immediately said, "Xiaogang, you and Erlong can go for this. I still need to handle things here at the academy. However, you can bring the Poison Douluo along to help keep things in order."

"That sounds good. I'll go ask him then."

The matter was settled, and just as they were about to leave, Zhao Wuji appeared at the office door again.

"Boss, someone from the Royal Soul Master Guard has arrived."

Since Yu Xiaogang had informed Flender and Liu Erlong about this the night before, the academy was prepared. Yu Xiaofeng, who had just arrived, was a bit confused. After all, the Royal Soul Master Guard were Emperor Xue Ye's personal guards, and he couldn't understand why they would come to Shrek Academy.

Seeing his third brother's bewildered expression, Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to explain.

Upon learning that Yu Xiaogang had become the Imperial Advisor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Yu Xiaofeng was too excited to speak.

Yu Xiaogang smiled and patted Yu Xiaofeng's shoulder. The group then proceeded towards the academy's training grounds.

On the training grounds, a team of knights clad in golden armor stood in formation.

Each knight was leading a black war horse, also covered in armor.

The entire knight team consisted of fifty people, each standing ramrod straight, exuding an imposing and solemn aura.

Yu Xiaogang arrived and immediately inquired with the knight team, learning about the unit before him.

This knight team of fifty men was divided into ten teams, with each team captain being a Soul Ancestor Realm soul master, and the remaining nine members being Soul Ancestor Realm.

"Not bad. It seems Emperor Xue Ye is quite willing to invest."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the team before him and nodded. While Soul Ancestor Realm soul masters might not be much to the Heaven Dou Empire, Soul Saint Realm soul masters were definitely strategic resources. Being able to mobilize five at once showed Emperor Xue Ye's firm resolve.

Yu Xiaogang then went forward to inquire about the martial souls of each guard knight. Based on the five Soul Saint Realm captains, he rearranged the teams and formed five new squads.

Although the Martial Soul Heterogeneous Fusion theory could allow soul masters with different martial souls to fuse their soul power, the resulting effects varied depending on the types of martial souls.

If the martial souls were similar, the soul power fusion would yield better results.

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang used the martial souls of the five Soul Saints as a basis, broadly categorizing the martial souls of the fifty men into five groups to facilitate subsequent soul power fusion training.
