Cross-Realm Teleportation, Arriving in Dugu Yan's Boudoir

Ning Rongrong rolled around anxiously on her princess bed, her gorgeous skirt bunched into a wrinkled mess.

[Bunny Is So Cute: Aaaah! Brother Yifei is coming! But I'm in Nuoding City, so far from Sunset Forest! This is infuriating! It's all Tang San's fault for dawdling!]

In the dormitory, Xiao Wu angrily grabbed a carrot and took a vicious bite.

He's going to Heaven Dou City... while I'm on my way to Star Luo City. We're heading in completely opposite directions.

In the carriage, an unmistakable trace of disappointment flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's cool eyes.

[Is Jade Not Jade: Tsk, that old freak Dugu Bo is getting off easy. Little handsome guy, come visit Blue Tyrant Academy after you're done. Big sister will personally entertain you!]

Liu Erlong's tone was thick with jealousy.

A powerhouse from another world was about to descend... The academy's higher-ups had to be informed immediately.

Shui Bing'er's expression turned more solemn than ever before.

He's going to Heaven Dou City... It's not too far from Spirit City. Could I have a chance to see him in person?

Hu Liena covered her burning cheeks, her heart fluttering wildly.

Dugu Yan... Dugu Bo... Heaven Dou City.

In the Crown Prince's East Palace, Qian Renxue lightly tapped the table with her slender fingers, a sharp glint flickering in her eyes. An uncontrollable and powerful variable had entered the core region of her plan.

[A Little Goose: Eh? Why does everyone know about me now?!]

[Bibi Dong: You're descending upon Douluo Continent?]

Inside Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong frowned tightly at the message, her heart filled with confusion and vigilance.

Seeing the fanatical reactions in the Group Chat and the repeated mentions of a "god descending," Li Yifei felt it was necessary to correct their misunderstanding.

[Li Yifei: Everyone, stop. I need to clarify something.]

[Li Yifei: I never admitted that I was some god from the God Realm. You all just made that up yourselves.]

[Li Yifei: This is a good chance to clear things up. First, I am not some god from the God Realm, so stop imagining things.]

[Li Yifei: Second, "High-level God of War" is a ranking for powerful people in my world, similar to your "Titled Douluo."]

[Li Yifei: Third, I don't have a Martial Soul, so I'm going there this time to awaken one.]

The three messages instantly plunged the frenzied Group Chat into silence.

A few seconds later, the entire screen was flooded with "Eh?!" messages.

[World's Number One Princess: Eh?! You're not a god? It's just a title for your strength?]

[Bunny Is So Cute: Eh? Then... then Brother Yifei, you don't have a Martial Soul?]

That question struck straight at everyone's heart.

[Li Yifei: Of course not. Otherwise, why would I be going to your world to awaken a Martial Soul?]

Boom!

Li Yifei's answer was like a nuclear bomb exploding in every girl's heart!

[World's Number One Princess: No Martial Soul... A person without a Martial Soul... pinned His Holiness the Pope, who has Twin Martial Souls, to the ground and rubbed her face in it?!]

Ning Rongrong's little mouth formed an O, feeling as though her entire worldview had been utterly shattered.

[Is Jade Not Jade: Holy shit! I thought he was relying on divine power before. So that old woman lost to an "Ordinary Person" without a Martial Soul?! Hahahaha! I'm dying! Bibi Dong, you finally got what was coming to you!]

Liu Erlong laughed so hard that she swayed like a flower in the wind, tears nearly spilling from her eyes.

[Bunny Is So Cute: Someone without a Martial Soul... can still be that powerful?]

Xiao Wu's big eyes were filled with confusion and admiration.

[???: A completely new power system that doesn't rely on Martial Souls... His body, his armor, his weapon... their value is immeasurable!]

In the Crown Prince's East Palace, Qian Renxue's breathing quickened for the first time, and an unprecedented light burst from her eyes.

[Ghost Cat: So... Martial Souls... are not everything.]

In the carriage, Zhu Zhuqing stared fixedly at the screen. Those words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting apart the gloom that had long shrouded her heart.

Her fate, the gap between herself and her sister Dai Weisi—its root lay in the difference between their Martial Souls.

Yet Li Yifei's existence showed her a brand-new path to the heavens, one unbound by Martial Souls!

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong stared at the information on the screen, her exquisite face alternating between pale and livid.

So... he had no Martial Soul.

So the Twin Martial Souls she had always been so proud of had been nothing but a joke from beginning to end in that battle.

She had lost to someone who was not even a Soul Master.

Bibi Dong suddenly clenched her fists.

"Since you have no Martial Soul, you relied purely on your body and that armor. If I had gone all out back then and used my Ninth Soul Skill, used the Rakshasa Scythe... perhaps I might still have had a chance to win!"

The thought had barely surfaced before she crushed it herself.

Was that possible?

No.

Let alone injure him, she probably could not even break through the defense of that gleaming black battle armor.

That realization left her feeling even more powerless and humiliated than losing to a god.

Ignoring the chaos in the Group Chat, Li Yifei told Dugu Yan, "I'm here," then used the [Group Member Teleportation Ticket].

In an instant, a strange sensation enveloped him.

The surrounding space seemed to twist into a knot, and the whole world turned into a dazzling stream of data that swept rapidly past his senses.

There was neither weightlessness nor dizziness. It felt more like passing through a bizarre dream.

Inside Dugu Yan's boudoir in Sunset Forest.

She had just finished explaining what had happened to her grandfather, Dugu Bo. The Titled Douluo-level old man wore an expression full of doubt and gravity.

Yet in the end, he could not overcome his granddaughter's insistence and agreed to this seemingly absurd deal.

"Yanzi, are you sure that person is really reliable?" Dugu Bo's worried voice sounded from outside the door.

"Grandfather, he's our only hope!" Dugu Yan answered firmly.

Just then, the air at the center of the room twisted without warning, and a vortex made of light opened out of thin air.

Dugu Yan jumped in fright and nervously held her breath.

The next second, a tall, slender figure slowly stepped out of the vortex.

As the light faded, Li Yifei's figure came clearly into view.

Li Yifei put away his Black God Battle Armor, revealing his true appearance.

He stood around six feet tall, with a well-proportioned yet powerfully built body.

After his Planetary-level life evolution, his features had become even deeper and more defined. Sword-like brows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, skin smooth as jade—his entire being exuded a unique, transcendent aura.

Dugu Yan was stunned.

She had only seen Li Yifei in his armored form during the livestream and had imagined what he might look like beneath it, but seeing him in person brought an incomparable impact.

The man before her was a hundred times more handsome than any prince or noble she had ever seen. The calm, powerful aura around him made her feel safe, yet also left her utterly captivated.
