After returning to the dormitory, Su Ze washed up and then began to read the medicinal herb illustrated guide.

He specifically looked for Immortal Herbs that could help his Lightning Attribute Martial Soul evolve.

Soon, he found a name!

Thunder Flame Tyrant Dragon Ginseng!

Appearance: The entire body emanates a golden-yellow lightning glow, the ginseng body is scale-like, with many winding roots, faintly resembling a dragon's head.

Attribute Characteristics: Possesses the lightning attribute representing light, and carries the aura of dragon-type martial souls.

This attribute makes it highly compatible with lightning attribute and dragon-type martial souls.

Method of Consumption: When consuming, one must not eat the roots and leaves, as those are the weakest parts of the lightning attribute. Consuming them will not only fail to provide effective enhancement but may also cause trouble.

Looking at the detailed introduction, Su Ze's eyes lit up.

There was an Immortal Herb, and he remembered that in the original work, Dai Mubai seemed to have consumed it.

And it directly broke through from level 98 to level 100.

But now, he was going to snatch it.

Let's look at this description.

It has extremely high compatibility with light-attribute lightning martial souls and dragon-attribute martial souls.

And his own martial soul is a combination of Sikong Zhen and the Storm Dragon King.

Sikong Zhen corresponds to the light-attribute lightning attribute.

The Storm Dragon King corresponds to the dragon attribute.

This Immortal Herb was his.

When he absorbed the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone before, he had faintly sensed the form of his Storm Dragon King.

This time, by consuming this Immortal Herb, his martial soul should be able to evolve again.

Completely unlocking its full form.

The ordinary Sikong Zhen Martial Soul could already be compared to the Six-Winged Archangel as the top-tier super martial soul.

Then, Sikong Zhen combined with the full form of the Storm Dragon King would definitely reach the level of a God-Bestowed Martial Soul!

Thinking of this, Su Ze began to look forward to the day he would meet Dugu Bo.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The majestic Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Inside the Crown Prince's palace.

"This Su Ze truly lives up to his genius reputation, actually defeating Yu Tianheng."

"I recall Yu Tianheng should be considered the strongest within Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

"He is indeed the talent I've set my sights on."

Qian Renxue looked at the tall, slender Snake Lance Douluo in Golden Armor standing before her. Hearing the news, her tone was filled with admiration.

Even as a genius with immense pride.

Qian Renxue highly recognized Su Ze's talent.

She even felt that the other party was not inferior to herself.

To be able to directly defeat Yu Tianheng at the age of 7.

Furthermore, she also heard that the other party had directly absorbed all the Lightning Element within the Lightning Attribute's simulated environment.

Such a genius further solidified Qian Renxue's determination to recruit him.

"Your Highness, this Su Ze is indeed a true genius!"

"I investigated his background; he came from a junior academy in Nuoding City!"

"He was also a famous genius in the academy. I heard his training was extremely diligent."

"With this talent and the willpower for diligent training."

"If he doesn't fall in the future, he will definitely become a Titled Douluo!"

Snake Lance Douluo couldn't help but be amazed as he thought of the young man he had encountered before.

According to his investigation, the young man's daily life in the academy consisted of cultivation and fighting others.

With such talent combined with hard work, it was no wonder he had already reached level 26 before the age of 8.

It could be said that in Snake Lance Douluo's heart at this moment.

This young man named Su Ze was even more outstanding than his young master.

After all, Snake Lance Douluo could tell that his young master still had the bad habits of arrogance and pride.

"Uncle Snake Lance is right, this Su Ze is indeed a genius."

"Therefore, my plan must also change. I can't recruit him like others, slowly waiting for time to bestow favors!"

"I want to recruit him directly."

Qian Renxue's thoughts were clear. With the talent Su Ze was currently displaying, even if he encountered difficulties, there would be plenty of powers willing to help him.

She couldn't wait any longer.

She had to offer benefits quickly and bring Su Ze under her wing.

"Uncle Snake Lance, won't there be a Royal Auction tomorrow? They'll be auctioning many items beneficial for Soul Master cultivation!"

"Send Su Ze an invitation, and tell him that whatever he wants to bid on at the auction, I'll pay for it."

The Heaven Dou Empire held a grand auction once every year.

Various precious resources were available there.

Two years ago, they had even auctioned spirit bones.

This led to a gathering of the major powers of the Heaven Dou Empire at every auction.

Those who attended were either rich or noble.

Therefore, the Heaven Dou Empire had extremely strict controls on attendance.

Without an invitation, outsiders would not be allowed to participate in the Heaven Dou Auction.

Of course, with Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince, bringing someone in would be very simple.

This time, to recruit a genius like Su Ze, Qian Renxue intended to spend big.

She could accept expenses within five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

As long as she could recruit Su Ze.

The sun rose.

Su Ze woke from his meditation and went to the window. He looked at the Blue Silver Emperor swaying slightly on the windowsill, bathed in sunlight, a hint of pleasant surprise in his eyes.

After being brought out of the cave by him, the Blue Silver Emperor quickly recovered from its listless state.

It had now grown to half a meter in length.

Its vitality was truly astonishing.

With such vitality, the Blue Silver Emperor's spirit should be cultivated towards the life attribute.

##DONE## Cultivating to the extreme might even allow severed limbs to regenerate instantly.

Su Ze even felt that if the Blue Silver Emperor, which focused on vitality, were to be pushed to its limits, it could crush the Jade Swan.

Although the Jade Swan was hailed as the continent's strongest healing soul beast.

Its inherent pure vitality was simply incomparable to the Blue Silver Emperor.

After all, the Jade Swan was just one individual, whereas the Blue Silver Emperor could continuously draw life force from the surrounding Blue Silver Grass.

If such a spirit were to pursue the path of life, its future achievements would be limitless.

Speaking of which, Su Ze couldn't help but think of Tang San.

If Tang San let the Blue Silver Emperor follow the path of life, he would have the Blue Silver Emperor constantly regenerating his life force with one hand.

While wielding the Clear Sky Hammer with the other, swinging it wildly.

The thought alone was terrifying.

He would be like a berserker with an infinite health bar.

If Tang San had chosen this path, Su Ze could hardly imagine what monstrous level Tang San's combat power would reach.

But fortunately, Yu Xiaogang was there.

He made Tang San abandon the broad and smooth path, choosing to add poison attributes instead.

This also gave Su Ze a chance to defeat a favored child of destiny like Tang San in the future.

Thinking this, Su Ze was about to head out.

As soon as he opened the door, a man in Golden Armor with a powerful aura was looking at him.

Snake Lance Douluo?

Su Ze looked puzzled. Why would Snake Lance Douluo come looking for him?

"Su Ze, I am here by order of the Crown Prince to invite you to the annual Heaven Dou Auction."

"This is your invitation. You must attend. The Crown Prince awaits you."

An invitation?

Su Ze took the white invitation with a hint of confusion.

Watching Snake Lance Douluo disappear in an instant.

Su Ze pondered for a moment and then understood.

It must be that Qian Renxue heard about him defeating Yu Tianheng at the academy.

The other party wanted to increase the stakes to win him over.

Looking at the white invitation with the character "Xue" printed on it in his hand, Su Ze felt it was exactly what he wanted.

Qian Renxue wanted to win him over, and she also invited him to the auction house.

If he wanted to buy anything then.

Qian Renxue, who wanted to win him over, would definitely pay for him.

He might be able to save tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins then.

"The annual auction!"

"It's hosted by Heaven Dou Royal Academy! Let me see what precious treasures there are."

Thinking this, Su Ze turned back to his dorm. After all, he was going to attend the auction, so he needed to wear a better outfit.

Meanwhile, in a not-so-large class at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lengleng with some surprise.

"Lengleng, you're saying your Mother actually took in a new disciple?"

"And he's a student at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Your Mother never takes disciples, why is she making an exception now?"

"Oh right, how is your Junior Brother?"

Ye Lengleng shook her head with some confusion on her face.

"I don't know why Mother wants this either!"

"As for my Junior Brother, he's alright!"

As she spoke, Ye Lengleng couldn't help but recall what she had said to Su Ze last night.

Feeling a bit shy, the tips of her ears turned red again.

This posture immediately caught Dugu Yan's attention.

"Lengleng, why are your ears turning red when you mention your Junior Brother?"

"You only met him yesterday, have you fallen for him already?"

"Did your Mother perhaps take him as a disciple intending for him to be your child groom?"

"Speaking of which," Dugu Yan chuckled wickedly, leaning close to Ye Lengleng's ear and teasingly whispering.

"Senior Sister and Junior Brother, just thinking about it is exciting, isn't it? Hehe..."

Ye Lengleng, teased by Dugu Yan, couldn't take it and immediately retorted with a blush.

"Are you trying to die, Yan Yan? Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not like you, you pervert. You even told me before that you like boys younger than you."

"I think you're the one fantasizing."

Hearing Ye Lengleng reveal her little preference, Dugu Yan's face also couldn't help but blush. She immediately changed the subject.

"Alright, alright, Lengleng, quickly tell me about your Junior Brother."

"Didn't you say your Junior Brother is a genius?"

"What level of genius could make Aunt Ye take him as a disciple?"

Dugu Yan had a very good impression of that gentle and opinionated Aunt Ye.

The woman was gentle, beautiful, and also very serious when she got down to business.

Moreover, she valued inheritance immensely.

Even her Grandfather, Dugu Bo, had praised her many times in front of him.

To be accepted as a disciple by someone like that, who was this unfamiliar young guy?

"That guy's talent is indeed very good, and you should have heard of him. His name is Su Ze!"

"The genius Soul Master who was already level 26 at the age of 8 the day before yesterday!"

"Didn't Yu Tianheng get defeated by him?"

Speaking of Su Ze, Ye Lengleng's pretty face puffed up again.

That annoying little guy, even though he was younger than her, liked to call her Senior Sister.

What a detestable guy!

Thinking of this, Ye Lengleng's teeth felt a little sore, and she had the urge to bite something.

"Su Ze!"

"You mean that Lightning Attribute Soul Master?"

Dugu Yan's expression changed. The face that she found both annoying and unforgettable flashed in her mind.

"That's right, it was him!"

Ye Lengleng didn't notice her best friend's slightly changed tone and directly admitted that Su Ze was her junior brother.

"That detestable guy!"

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth in hatred.

That bastard was her best friend's junior brother.

She remembered the scene where he easily defeated her and called her a coward.

Dugu Yan trembled with anger.

Just then, Ye Lengleng lowered her head and instantly saw a pair of waves.

The moment she saw the waves, Ye Lengleng slumped onto the table weakly.

She actually found herself accepting the title of "junior" now.

She really felt "small."

On the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters grew up very quickly. Although Dugu Yan was not yet 15 years old.

Her figure and development were already similar to that of a normal adult female.

Those slender long legs, combined with her Slender and Fruitful figure.

Made Ye Lengleng incredibly envious.

Her mother had a good figure too.

But she seemed to have inherited nothing.

Ye Lengleng lowered her head in disappointment.

"Lengleng, there's no time to waste. After class, you'll take me to properly meet your junior brother."

"I want to see what this disciple brother Su Ze of yours is up to!"

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth.

Her grandfather had already gone to investigate Su Ze's identity.

And she planned to probe Su Ze herself to see what his intentions were in approaching her, and then approaching her best friend!

Ye Lengleng heard Dugu Yan's tone and realized something was wrong.

"Yan Yan, do you know Su Ze?"

"No, no!"

Dugu Yan shook her head in refusal.

Su Ze's past experiences were connected to the flaws in her family's martial soul.

Even though Ye Lengleng was her closest best friend, she couldn't reveal it.

Su Ze, of course, didn't know that Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng were currently talking about him.

At this moment, he picked out a decent set of clothes and prepared to head to the auction.

As he walked down the road, Yu Tianheng appeared before Su Ze.

"Su Ze, after you left yesterday, I was struck by lightning a few times. I broke through to level 29 amidst a crisis!"

"In a few months, I'll reach level 30!"

"I just want to tell you now that when I reach level 30, we'll have a soul duel again."

Yu Tianheng spoke with a face full of pride.

He felt he had deciphered the secret to Su Ze's strength.

Just yesterday, after being struck unconscious by lightning in Thunder Gorge without any defense, he had a fortunate accident and broke through to level 29.

This breakthrough made Yu Tianheng believe that Su Ze's strength was obtained through being struck by lightning.

After confirming this.

Yu Tianheng's confidence returned.

Now that he understood the method behind Su Ze's strength.

He was sure that by being struck by lightning every day, he could also become as strong as Su Ze.

Regarding Yu Tianheng's inexplicable words.

Su Ze just laughed: "Senior Yu, are you crazy?"

"Is the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan so shameless?"

"You want to break through to Soul Elder and then duel me. Is that fair?"

"You know, the Great Soul Arena prohibits battles between Soul Grand Masters and Soul Elders."

Su Ze felt Yu Tianheng was utterly shameless to say such a thing.

Yu Tianheng actually felt this behavior was undignified and felt ashamed.

But there was no choice, because of his previous defeat.

Now the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy was spreading rumors that the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan was not living up to its reputation.

Not only him, but even his clansmen had heard the news.

If he didn't prove himself quickly, Yu Tianheng's position would be precarious.

"Just tell me if you dare or not?"

"As long as you can defeat me, a Soul Elder, besides the 20,000 Gold Soul Coins, I can also agree to one of your conditions."

"And don't worry, if you lose, you don't have to pay any Gold Soul Coins. You just have to admit that your martial soul is inferior to the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon."

Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Su Ze's eyes lit up.

He was very interested in the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan.

He had read in books before that the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan was the most adept at electricity-attribute powers on the continent.

And they had specially cultivated a batch of hunting grounds suitable for Lightning Attribute Soul Masters within the clan.

Many precious lightning-attribute soul beasts were located within that hunting ground.

He was about to break through level 30.

He needed to start considering his level 30 Soul Ring.
