After taking the stone containing the Thunder God Power, Su Ze immediately headed to a secluded forest.

Based on his previous experience absorbing powers like the Heavenly Tribulation, he tried injecting Soul Power into the stone.

However, the stone showed no reaction.

"Is it useless?"

In the forest, Su Ze looked at the stone before him. After carefully sensing it with the Storm Dragon King's martial soul.

That familiar, yearning feeling struck him again, but he clearly felt a sense of obstruction.

"It seems my strength is still insufficient."

"I can't mobilize the Thunder God Power within."

Once the reason was confirmed, Su Ze placed the stone into the storage device at his waist.

He already had the item, so the next step was to improve his strength.

The Thunder God Power within would be his sooner or later.

With that thought, Su Ze quickened his pace towards Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

He needed to return to his dormitory for Meditation and increase his strength.

Meanwhile, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

When Ning Fengzhi learned from a maid that Su Ze had taken the stone containing the Thunder God Blood, a smile immediately spread across his face.

"Excellent. Over the past few years, I've sent many good things, but Su Ze never accepted any of them."

"This time, he finally accepted it."

Looking at Ning Fengzhi, who was laughing heartily beside him, Bone Douluo showed a curious expression.

"Fengzhi, I've heard you and Chen Xin mention this Su Ze quite a few times!"

"Is his talent that exceptional?"

Bone Douluo had not met Su Ze with Sword Douluo at the time.

Therefore, he had no concrete understanding of Su Ze's talent.

"Uncle Gu, you'll understand when you meet Su Ze."

"Uncle Chen has assessed this young man's talent. As long as he doesn't die, he has the potential to surpass him in the future and become a legendary peak Douluo."

"Moreover, I've just learned from Heaven Dou Royal Academy that this Su Ze is 13 years old and already has level 55 Soul Power."

Hearing Bone Douluo's words, Ning Fengzhi spoke with immense confidence.

Upon hearing Su Ze's strength, Ning Fengzhi completely believed Sword Douluo's judgment from back then.

After all, how old is Su Ze now?

He's already level 55 at 13 years old.

In other words, even if the other party were a pig, he'd at least break through to Soul Emperor by age 20.

A 13-year-old Soul Emperor!

What astonishing talent.

"A 13-year-old Soul Emperor, Ning Fengzhi, are you serious??"

Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo's aged face revealed a look of shock.

What did a 13-year-old Soul King mean?

Bone Douluo was extremely clear.

The youngest Soul Emperor in the world today, Tang Hao, He had already reached the Soul Emperor level in his twenties.

Who was Tang Hao?

The youngest Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent.

He had sent the Pope of the Soul Martial Hall, Qian Xunji, to his death with a single hammer right after breaking through.

And he even escaped from the hands of a Limit Douluo.

He could be called a Genius of exceptional talent.

In terms of one-on-one combat, Bone Douluo didn't believe he would be a match for that Clear Sky Douluo.

The most recognized Genius on this continent, Tang Hao, was only in his twenties when he was a Soul Emperor.

Now, this young man named Su Ze, at 13 years old, was already level 55, a Soul King.

He would likely break through to Soul Emperor by age 15 at the latest.

In other words, compared to this Su Ze, Tang Hao seemed like an ordinary person.

At this moment, Bone Douluo thought about his own age when he became a Soul Emperor, which was 37.

For a time, he felt like he was a mediocre talent.

After having this feeling of being a mediocre talent, Bone Douluo completely understood why Ning Fengzhi valued this young man named Su Ze so much.

"Fengzhi, if such a young man cannot be won over, it's best to find an opportunity to kill him."

"If he becomes an enemy, the consequences are unimaginable. The former Pope of the Soul Martial Hall is a prime example."

The Soul Martial Hall's failure to eliminate the young Tang Hao in his cradle led to their Pope being killed.

Ning Fengzhi nodded at Bone Douluo's words.

"Don't worry, Uncle Gu! I understand this."

"In recent years, Su Ze and we have maintained a very good relationship."

"It's a pity that I can't recruit Su Ze into the sect. Otherwise, I would even consider marrying Rongrong to him!"

A genius who became a Soul King at the age of 13 was destined to become a Titled Douluo in the future.

If such talent could be allied through marriage with his daughter, perhaps the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could even surpass the Clear Sky Sect in the future.

Becoming the number one sect in the world.

Unfortunately, the Poison Douluo and the Ye Family got there first.

Thinking about the news he gathered from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Bo's granddaughter and the Ye Family Daughter were basically with Su Ze every day.

Given his daughter's personality, even if she really went there.

She would probably just bring humiliation upon herself.

So Ning Fengzhi gave up on that idea and instead chose to win him over with resources.

Anyway, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had plenty of money.

With this thought, Ning Fengzhi took out the letter Sword Douluo had given him from his desk.

After opening the letter, Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed instantly. As he finished reading the document, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

According to the letter, Sword Douluo, while secretly protecting Ning Rongrong, discovered that the Shrek students were all very dissatisfied with Su Ze.

Especially Master.

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi immediately decided to have his daughter drop out of school as soon as she arrived in Heaven Dou City.

What kind of talent did Su Ze possess? A genius destined to become a Titled Douluo in the future.

According to Sword Douluo's letter, what were those students of the Shrek Seven Devils like?

A trash Blue Silver Grass, a prince living abroad, and a Chicken Martial Soul that often bullies commoners.

These martial souls, at first hearing, couldn't compare to Su Ze.

What surprised Ning Fengzhi even more was.

Su Ze had publicly criticized Yu Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge.

Regarding Yu Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge, Ning Fengzhi didn't actually know the specifics of his level.

He had only heard others say it was acceptable.

But after hearing that Su Ze had criticized Yu Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge, Ning Fengzhi immediately changed his mind.

He knew Su Ze's cultivation and talent.

If Yu Xiaogang wasn't recognized by Su Ze, it definitely meant his theoretical knowledge was extremely poor.

Withdrawal, she must withdraw.

Originally, he had intended for Rongrong to suffer a bit at Shrek Academy, to temper her personality in a harsh environment.

But that wouldn't do now. Staying with these people, he was worried his daughter might be led astray.

If she were corrupted by the people at Shrek Academy and offended Su Ze, how would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect position itself next?

As Xue Qinghe's teacher, Ning Fengzhi had heard Xue Qinghe regret not trying to win over Su Ze earlier countless times.

Coupled with the Poison Douluo behind Su Ze.

It could be said that if Ning Rongrong were led astray by Shrek Academy and offended Su Ze, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be facing a super genius, a Titled Douluo introduced by him, and the future emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Thinking of the motley crew backgrounds of Shrek Academy.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he absolutely could not accept such a situation.

One month after Su Ze obtained the stone.

Through constant meditation and research.

Su Ze could finally begin to wield the Thunder God Power within it.

High above Heaven Dou City, Su Ze, within the Misty Sect, raised the Thunder God Stone in his hand.

Attracted by the stone bathed in Thunder God Blood, the dark clouds began to churn violently.

The dense lightning element in the air continuously condensed, forming lightning that struck Su Ze.

These violent lightning bolts were all absorbed by Su Ze.

This was the new method he had researched.

Although he couldn't use the stone containing the Thunder God Blood.

He could, however, use it as an antenna.

To attract the lightning element from the sky.

Originally, Su Ze would have needed at least half a day to absorb the lightning element within a thousand meters in the air.

But with the Thunder God Stone, Su Ze only needed half an hour.

In other words, with the Thunder God Stone, Su Ze was equivalent to having a 10x cultivation cheat.

Not long after he came up with this method, Su Ze could feel himself approaching the threshold of level 56.

When the Global Soul Master Elite Tournament begins not long from now.

Su Ze felt he would definitely be a Soul Emperor by then.

At that time, as a Soul Emperor, Su Ze eagerly anticipated meeting Tang San and that group of protagonists.

And while Su Ze was cultivating, at this very moment, at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng were withdrawing from school.

Although the three committee members tried their best to persuade them to stay, Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng had made up their minds.

They were going to join Shrek Academy.

As Yu Tianheng walked out of the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, excitement flashed in his eyes.

He could finally train under his uncle.

With his uncle's abilities, he would definitely be able to wash away his shame.

Recalling how his uncle had told him about Su Ze insulting him.

Yu Tianheng clenched his fists.

In the competition a year later, he would definitely make Su Ze pay the price.

And at the same time, wash away the humiliation he suffered at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

To welcome Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng, the Shrek Group was also waiting here.

Except for Dai Mubai, who was of royal birth, the Shrek members were amazed by the precious medicinal herbs at the entrance of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Even Dean Flender, a Soul Saint, looking at the precious medicinal ingredients outside the gate, couldn't help but feel a surge of greed.

"This is Su Ze's academy? The resources are truly abundant."

Tang San withdrew his gaze from the several precious medicinal ingredients.

With such rich resources supporting him, and having heard that Su Ze had managed to get close to the Crown Prince and a Titled Douluo.

With such resources, would he still be Su Ze's opponent in a year's time?

Clearing the lack of confidence from his disciple's tone.

Yu Xiaogang immediately spoke up with a teasing tone.

"Alright, don't look at this Heaven Dou Royal Academy just because it has the support of the royal family."

"The teachers inside are all mediocre talents, and since this is an academy established by the royal family for noble children, everyone inside is also a mediocre talent."

"Mediocre talents teaching mediocre talents, even with abundant resources, it's useless."

"The proof is that you can't even find 20 Soul Elders above level 30 in this academy."

"Although Su Ze was lucky enough to get in here, if he stays with those mediocre talents, his foundation won't be solid, and his future achievements will definitely not be high."

Originally, Yu Xiaogang wanted to say that Su Ze's current strength was not good enough, but considering that his nephew had been defeated by Su Ze.

So he changed it to his future not being good enough.

Hearing his teacher's words, Tang San nodded.

After interacting with Yu Tianheng during this period, Tang San was confident that defeating Yu Tianheng with his own methods would not be difficult.

After confirming this, combined with his teacher's words that Heaven Dou Royal Academy was full of mediocre talents.

Tang San was relieved.

How could Su Ze, who had been enjoying himself at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, compare to himself who had been training diligently?

Furthermore, Su Ze's scolding of his teacher in the academy showed that he was someone who disrespected knowledge.

Disrespecting knowledge coupled with constant enjoyment.

Tang San was confident that the current Su Ze was no match for him.

Seeing his disciple regain his confident smile, Yu Xiaogang nodded.

After helping his disciple regain his confidence, Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Yu Tianheng.

"Tianheng, joining Shrek Monster Academy is an extremely correct choice."

"Uncle guarantees you'll definitely surpass that Su Ze in the future."

"Uncle tells you, that Su Ze is just a commoner with good talent, but his character is terrible. He relies on his good talent."

"His future achievements will definitely not be as good as yours."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang's face was also filled with a smile.

Thus, the Shrek Seven Team was finally complete.

They just had to wait a year before appearing at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

He would lead Shrek Academy to achieve good results.

He and Little San would slap the faces of those who mocked them.

Thinking of Su Ze's scene of verbally abusing him in the academy, a trace of resentment flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

That detestable Su Ze, with his blind eyes, actually looked down on him.

When the Continental Elite Tournament began, he and Little San under his command would defeat the opponent, and he would definitely mock them back fiercely.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was fantasizing about the future, a mocking voice rang out successively.

"A trash who isn't even a Soul Elder dares to mock the strongest person in our Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Yu Tianheng, that's your uncle, right! No wonder you can't beat Su Ze. You treat a trash uncle like a treasure."

"Can he not be trash?"

As this mocking voice sounded, everyone from Shrek immediately turned their heads to look.

They saw a mature woman with long green hair and a fiery figure, accompanied by a young girl wearing a black veil, slowly walking out.

"Dugu Yan, Ye Lengleng."

Yu Tianheng recognized the newcomers at a glance.

Yu Tianheng hadn't even gotten angry yet, but Tang San, who believed in Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parent, Teacher, was furious.

As a Tang Sect Disciple, Tang San had always regarded Yu Xiaogang as his father.

Now that his father was being insulted, Tang San naturally wouldn't stand by.

"I don't care who you two are, apologize to my master now!"

Tang San looked coldly at the two women before him, his heart already judging that these two women were courting death.

"What if I don't apologize?"

Dugu Yan said disdainfully. She had just entered the academy and heard someone slandering Su Ze.

How could Dugu Yan tolerate this?

Only she was allowed to curse that stinking guy.

At most, Ye Lengleng could join in.

Anyone else who dared to curse him, Dugu Yan, the Poison Queen, would not allow it.

Following behind her, Ye Lengleng also looked at a group of people in the distance with a displeased expression.

Especially that guy with the flat top.

A mere Soul Elder dared to insult her Junior Brother.

Being openly mocked like this, Yu Xiaogang's breathing grew heavy, his eyes turning red.

Such mockery reminded him of the feeling of being mocked by Su Ze in person at the academy.

Tang San, standing beside him, also had a cold expression, his footsteps constantly moving forward.

If his teacher was being mocked like this, it would be unfilial for his disciple not to stand up.

"I warn you..."

Just as Tang San was about to issue a further warning, a voice that often appeared in his dreams sounded in his ear.

"Tang San, who are you preparing to warn?"

Hearing this, both Tang San and Xiao Wu beside him trembled.

Immediately after, both of them subconsciously raised their heads.

In the sky, a figure surrounded by lightning floated in mid-air, looking down at Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Su Ze!"
