I have no idea what that crazy woman Bibi Dong is up to now.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Sword Uncle, there must be nearly ten Level 99 Limit Douluos in the Bright Realm by now, right?"
As he watched another Level 99 Limit Douluo from the Bright Realm appear on the Heavenly Screen, Ning Fengzhi looked at Jian Douluo Chenxin and swallowed nervously.
Jian Douluo Chenxin stared blankly at the Heavenly Screen and nodded in a daze.
Chen Xin had always believed that his cultivation talent was among the best on the Douluo Continent. Even if it wasn't peerless, it was still first-rate.
His Martial Soul, the Seven Kill Sword, also possessed the ultimate in offensive power.
Among Titled Douluos of the same level, he was considered top-tier. He could even fight opponents of a higher level.
But ever since the Heavenly Screen appeared, it had shattered every ounce of pride in his heart.
One Level 99 Limit Douluo after another, and one terrifying Martial Soul after another, had crushed his confidence so thoroughly that he couldn't even stir it back to life.
"Looks like I truly underestimated the heroes of the world!"
Thinking of how he had ranked only twenty-third on the Human Race Combat Strength Ranking, Chen Xin couldn't help but throw his head back and sigh.
Seeing Sword Uncle like this, Ning Fengzhi didn't know how to comfort him. He could only shake his head and sigh.
Inside Shrek Academy.
"Supreme among flames, able to command all fires in the world..." Tang San murmured as he read the Heavenly Screen.
"What a terrifying Martial Soul!"
Hearing his beloved disciple, Yu Xiaogang immediately cut in, unable to wait a moment. "Xiao San, there's no need to envy him."
"Your talent and potential far surpass those of the people on the Heavenly Screen."
Yu Xiaogang paused, then looked Tang San straight in the eye and brought out his usual theory once again.
He declared with absolute confidence:
"As long as you cultivate Blue Silver Grass to the Titled Douluo level first, then add Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, no one in the world will be your match."
"Before the Clear Sky Hammer, the mighty number-one tool-type Martial Soul under heaven, the so-called Armor Martial Soul of the Bright Realm is nothing but a pile of scrap metal!"
Tang San glanced at the confident Yu Xiaogang and replied flatly, "Perhaps."
The previous incidents had already brought Tang San's trust in Yu Xiaogang down to zero.
He now scoffed at everything Yu Xiaogang said.
He was even wondering whether he should take Xiao Wu and leave Shrek Academy to join the Bright Realm.
After all, judging by what he'd seen so far, any random powerhouse from the Bright Realm could crush all of Shrek Academy.
Its teachers and educational standards were undoubtedly far better than this academy's.
Meanwhile,
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, two of the Shrek Seven Devils, were nowhere to be seen.
On a patch of grass not far away,
the three Ning sisters were chatting about something, laughing from time to time.
Beside Ning Rongrong, Oscar held out a grilled sausage and some water with both hands, smiling as he offered them to his goddess.
"That's enough!"
"Oscar, I've told you I don't want your food. Don't you understand?"
Ning Rongrong had finally had enough of Oscar's pestering. Forgetting all about her image, she shouted at him.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu also looked at Oscar with disgust.
"I... But... I only..." After Ning Rongrong snapped at him, Oscar was left flustered and at a loss for words.
Just then,
the space beside them suddenly began to tremble.
A lean man with an unfathomably deep aura stepped out of it.
Yet as soon as Ning Rongrong saw him, she leaped up excitedly and threw herself into his arms.
"Grandpa Bone!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong smiled as Ning Rongrong cuddled against him.
"Grandpa Bone, why did you suddenly come to Shrek Academy?" Ning Rongrong looked up from Gu Rong's arms and asked, puzzled.
Gu Rong didn't keep her guessing. He got straight to the point. "Something has changed within the sect. I've come to take you back on the Sect Master's orders."
Ning Rongrong immediately grew nervous. "Something's changed? Did something happen?"
Gu Rong simply shook his head, offering no further explanation.
Then he picked Ning Rongrong up, ready to leave.
"Wait! Where are you taking Rongrong?!" Oscar rushed over and stood in their way.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong with equal concern.
"Rongrong, where are you going?"
"Yeah, why are you suddenly leaving?"
Seeing her friends' worried faces, Ning Rongrong felt a warmth in her heart.
Then, with just as much reluctance, she explained, "Something came up at home. Grandpa Bone has come to take me back."
"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, don't worry. I'll be back soon."
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu had nothing more to say. They could only watch Ning Rongrong reluctantly.
Just then, Master Yu Xiaogang hurried over. "Wait, wait!"
"Your Excellency Bone Douluo! You can't take Ning Rongrong away!"
"We're at a critical stage in training. How can she just leave?"
The moment he said this, the whole area fell silent.
Gu Rong's eyes turned cold.
He swept his sleeve, and a terrifying surge of Soul Power immediately swept through the area.
It sent Master Yu Xiaogang, whose Soul Power was only at level nineteen, flying.
Then Gu Rong said coldly:
"I call you Master out of respect. Without that respect, what are you?"
"Hmph! A useless piece of trash!"
With that, Gu Rong gave no one else a chance to speak.
He took Ning Rongrong and vanished into the void once more, heading for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
All that remained were the silent onlookers and Yu Xiaogang, whose face had flushed red.
"First, someone who can command all waters under heaven, and now someone who can command all fires under heaven."
"Who could've imagined such overbearing Martial Souls existed? They're incredible."
As he watched the Heavenly Screen's report on Explosive Flame Douluo Yan Nan, Dugu Bo thought of the man's overwhelmingly powerful Martial Soul, then of his own flawed Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. His eyes filled with envy.
Beside him, Canglang Douluo Jun Hao patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be envious. We're about to reach the Bright Realm."
At his words, Dugu Bo immediately cast all his unhappy thoughts aside.
Then Wind Eagle suddenly beat its wings and plunged toward the golden Stone Tablet below.
The moment the seal touched the Stone Tablet, it entered a space and disappeared.
"Is this the Bright Realm? What abundant Soul Power!"
As soon as they entered the Bright Realm,
a sensation like a sudden revelation swept through every cell in Dugu Bo's body.
In an instant, he felt utterly refreshed and clear-headed.
His aged yet still keen eyes widened.
For the first time, his face showed nearly unrestrained shock and delight.
He didn't even bother to take in the magnificent scenery or the strange buildings around him. All his attention was fixed on sensing the changes within his own body.
Because the instant he stepped onto this land, he felt it with absolute clarity.
