After leaving the courtyard, Lin Yuan arrived at the Back Mountain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. By then, the Back Mountain was already a complete mess. The members of the Heaven Dou Battle Team lay collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. None of them had completed the task Lin Yuan had assigned before leaving.

Meanwhile, the Blood Fiend Azure Dragon stood there completely unscathed. The aura radiating from its body alone was enough to make Soul Beasts within a hundred miles flee in fear.

"What a bunch of ants. I don't know why Master wants me to train you. If Master hadn't forbidden me from killing, you little brats would have become this king's meal long ago."

Soul Beasts that broke through to a hundred thousand years could speak human language, and this Blood Fiend Azure Dragon naturally possessed that ability. Its imposing presence even surpassed that of ancient species such as the Forest Emperor, the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Lin Yuan teleported over, one hand held behind his back. He glanced at the exhausted Heaven Dou Battle Team members sprawled across the ground and asked calmly, "Not a single one of you completed it?"

The Blood Fiend Azure Dragon immediately lowered its head and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Master, none of them passed the assessment."

Osler wiped the sweat from his face and said miserably, "Teacher Lin, no matter how strong we are, we can't possibly defeat a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Besides, Ling Ling is a girl. Even if she can heal us, she still needs a huge amount of Soul Power to keep it up."

Lin Yuan looked at Ye Lingling, whose little face was flushed red, then said without hesitation, "Then continue until every one of you can pass."

At those words, the faces of the Heaven Dou Battle Team members immediately turned pale.

They still had to continue?

They had already run out of Soul Power. If this went on, someone would die.

Yet Lin Yuan did not care. Back then, he had repeatedly broken through his Soul Power limits under such circumstances to achieve what he had today. Besides, he had already said that if they wanted to rise above others, they had to endure this much hardship.

Ye Lingling exhaled a breath of hot air and struggled to her feet. A trace of determination appeared in her eyes. "Osler, Yufeng, Shimo, Shimo, continue!"

Then, accompanied by a faint fragrance, a ray of white light descended from the sky. The white light was incredibly strange, taking the shape of flower petals as it slowly drifted down and landed directly on the people in the field, lightly merging into their bodies.

Osler and the others shuddered. The wounds exposed on their bodies miraculously began healing at an astonishing speed, and their complexions improved considerably. They even rose directly to their feet.

Cradled in Ye Lingling's hands was a pink begonia flower formed from white and pink petals. Its colors were vivid, and its posture graceful.

Leaves and trailing branches slid down from either side of Ye Lingling's palms. Its soft vines swayed in the breeze, its drooping blossoms delicate and lovely, like a graceful lady with hair veiling her face—tender and affectionate, with a pitiable charm.

The purple glow around her had only just faded. Clearly, the white petal-shaped light from before had been the ability of her Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

So this is the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul? No wonder it is the strongest Support System Soul Master Martial Soul on Douluo Continent, Lin Yuan thought.

The Blood Fiend Azure Dragon glanced at its master. After receiving Lin Yuan's nod, it immediately unleashed its Soul Beast pressure.

Vast energy spread relentlessly in all directions like raging waves. Wherever it passed, even the air twisted. The mountains and rivers around them seemed to have been frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

Lin Yuan sat atop a rock, watching everything unfold before him. No matter what happened, he did not intervene, nor did he deliberately help any one of them.

Amid that boundless oppressive force, Ye Lingling, gritting her teeth, suddenly felt her entire body lighten. The Soul Power within her directly broke through from level thirty-eight to level thirty-nine.

"I broke through!"

Seeing Ye Lingling's Soul Power break through, the others were overjoyed as well. It seemed Teacher Lin was right after all. Under training of this intensity, the Soul Power within their bodies could improve tremendously.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and swayed the Wine Gourd in his hand. He then looked toward the distant Sunset Forest and decided to make a trip to Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden there to bring back the herbs inside.

After all, the Shrek disciples in the original story had relied on herbs to greatly increase their cultivation. Without those Immortal Grade Herbs, the Shrek disciples' talent alone would naturally have been insufficient for them to take first place in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Nor would they have been able to break through level one hundred in the future and become powerhouses in the realm of Title Douluo.

Lin Yuan stood up, dusted off his shoulder, placed one hand behind his back, and slowly walked toward the depths of Sunset Forest.

As the second-largest Soul Beast forest on Douluo Continent, Sunset Forest had no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, but its Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts were enough to support Soul Masters across the entire Douluo Continent.

Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden lay deep within the forest. As for which mountain it was on, even Dream Machine and the other two chiefs did not know.

However, Dugu Bo was not difficult for Lin Yuan to find. The place where he lived was always shrouded in dense poisonous mist. Any human or Soul Beast that trespassed there would die instantly upon coming into contact with the toxic fog.

Dugu Bo had always been solitary. Although he had been employed by the royal family, he did not live in Heaven Dou City.

Following the poisonous gas drifting through the air, Lin Yuan soon arrived outside a valley filled with miasma.

The valley was shrouded in emerald-green miasma. Any bird or beast that took a breath of it would feel heart-wrenching pain before ultimately falling straight to the ground.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to step inside, an icy voice rang out from not far away.

"If I were you, I wouldn't casually enter someone else's territory."

Lin Yuan stopped and turned to look at the figure emerging from the mist. He smiled and said, "Poison Douluo, you truly are alert. I have not even entered this place, yet you already sensed my aura."

That was right. The newcomer was the master of this place, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo snorted coldly. Perhaps because of the Soul Beast incident last time, his mind was still filled with images of Yanyan obtaining a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

For that reason, even his voice was somewhat colder as he said, "I don't care what grudge you have against the Shrek disciples. This is not a place you can come to. And if you want to fight, this old man is not afraid of you."

"I did not come here to fight you."

"Then what do you want?"

Dugu Bo frowned as he asked.

"I have long heard that Mr. Dugu Bo enjoys cultivating herbs. I came here this time to pick a few herbs. Of course, name your price. So long as I can provide it, I will not refuse."

Brothers, the new book has been recommended. During the recommendation period, I hope you big shots won't stockpile chapters and will read through to the end every day.
