When they saw the nine Soul Rings appearing around Lin Yuan's body, every disciple and teacher of Shrek Academy was astonished.

Even Master, who was lying on the ground, was too shocked to speak. His eyes were wide as bells as he stared in disbelief at the Soul Ring configuration surging around Lin Yuan.

"Y-you're actually... a Title... Douluo!"

Flender staggered back two steps, breathing heavily as he rubbed his eyes hard. He could not believe that the young man before him, barely twenty years old, was actually a Title Douluo who could command the winds and clouds of Douluo Continent!

The casual pressure of his Soul Power alone struck fear into countless hearts. Ma Hongjun, in particular, was so terrified that he collapsed onto the ground, drenched in sweat.

It should be known that the youngest Title Douluo in all of Douluo Continent had already been over forty when he broke through Rank 90.

Yet the young man before them was only around twenty, and he had already reached the shocking realm of a Rank 90 Title Douluo. It was simply unheard of.

Master's body trembled, and his lips quivered. "He really is... a Title... Douluo!"

He had never imagined that anyone could break through to the Title Douluo realm at such an age, much less that he would encounter one today.

The energy radiating from the scarlet Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring constantly told him that Lin Yuan before him was a Title Douluo, and a peak powerhouse who possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring at that!

The sweeping pressure forced everyone from Shrek Academy to kneel. Even Flender, who had released his Martial Soul, had no ability to resist, his head driven fiercely into the dirt.

As for the disciples whose Soul Power was below Rank 40, they crawled on the ground like beaten dogs. Under the pressure of Soul Power, the bones in their bodies emitted crisp cracking sounds, as though they might explode and die at any moment.

At his right hand, a longsword radiating dense malevolent energy silently appeared.

The sword was four feet three inches long and two inches wide, with a hilt one foot two inches long. A ring of blood-red mist swirled around it, while densely packed, peculiar patterns were etched across its blade, making the sword seem even more sinister.

Most horrifying of all, an unimaginable aura of death faintly emanated from its edge. This was the God-level Martial Soul, the Asura Demon Sword!

Upon seeing the Asura Demon Sword brimming with malevolent energy, Xiao Wu immediately hid behind Zhu Zhuqing in fright. Her pretty face was filled with fear, and she even had the urge to leave this place as quickly as possible.

Dean Flander clenched his fists, but under the Soul Power pressure of a Title Douluo, he could not even lift his head.

At this moment, dense blood-red energy filled the sky, nearly obscuring half the heavens. Such a world-ending spectacle caused countless Soul Masters of the Heaven Dou Empire to raise their heads and look in this direction.

Just then, the three members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Teaching Committee arrived after hearing the news. When they saw the nine Soul Rings floating around Lin Yuan, the three Soul Douluo who had each reached Rank 80 also looked on in astonishment.

"Title Douluo!"

The three elderly men all wore black robes embroidered with strange patterns in gold thread.

These robes were not exclusive to them. They could only be claimed from Spirit Hall by Soul Masters above Rank 80 who possessed the title of Soul Douluo. They were custom formal attire representing one's status, second only to the red ceremonial robes of a Title Douluo.

Chief Dream Machine hurried over, rubbed his eyes, and said in great surprise, "You are... Teacher Lin?!"

Lin Yuan withdrew his Martial Soul, turned around, and slightly cupped his hands toward the three committee members before him. "Three committee members, it has been many years. Have you been well?"

"It really is you."

Bai Baoshan was stunned. He could not believe that Lin Yuan, who had left Heaven Dou Royal Academy as merely a Soul Emperor, had broken through to become a Title Douluo in just five short years.

And he even possessed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring that everyone dreamed of. Was this truly the limit a human could reach?

Zhi Lin smiled brightly and patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder. "Good lad, we were right about you. In only five years, you've broken through to the Title Douluo realm. Given enough time, you'd have a great chance of breaking through to Rank 99 as well."

Chief Dream Machine glanced at the Shrek Academy group lying on the ground, then could not help asking, "Teacher Lin, what is this about?"

Lin Yuan replied, "There was a minor incident on my way back. It has already been resolved."

Bai Baoshan furrowed his brows. Just as he was about to throw the Shrek Academy disciples out, he spotted Qin Ming, who was also a teacher of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, among them.

"Teacher Qin?"

Dream Machine and the others quickly stepped forward and helped Qin Ming up from the ground. They asked in surprise, "Teacher Qin, why are you here as well? Didn't you go welcome the teachers from Shrek Academy?"

Qin Ming's expression was livid as he replied, "Three committee members, these are the teachers and disciples of Shrek Academy I mentioned. I just didn't expect something like this to happen."

Lin Yuan usually cultivated in the Back Mountain and rarely returned to the academy. Therefore, Qin Ming had never met Lin Yuan, the youngest Title Douluo of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After learning the full sequence of events, Dream Machine's aged face showed a trace of displeasure. If Teacher Qin had not vouched for them, then given his temperament, he would have long since expelled the people of Shrek Academy from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After all, no matter how talented they were, they could never compare to Lin Yuan, who had broken through to the Title Douluo realm at eighteen.

Dream Machine glanced at Dean Flander before turning back to introduce him. "Teacher Qin, this is Teacher Lin whom I told you about last time. Teacher Lin rarely returns to the academy, so you were unfamiliar with one another, which led to this misunderstanding."

"Teacher Lin is the youngest teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, as well as the most talented person since the academy's founding. He possessed Innate Full Soul Power at six, broke through to Soul King at ten, and reached the Soul Emperor realm at twelve."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was stunned. He had reached the Soul King realm at ten years old—no wonder he had been able to break through to the Title Douluo realm at eighteen.

Qin Ming had heard of Lin Yuan's reputation before, but he had never met him in person. He had thought it was merely a gimmick created by the academy. Now that he saw him for himself, he finally believed that the three senior committee members had not deceived him.

Chief Dream Machine smiled. "This can be considered a case of getting to know one another through a fight. I wonder if Shrek Academy has anything to say?"

Dean Flander glanced at Master, who was still vomiting blood nearby, then let out a deep sigh and bowed to Lin Yuan. "This junior, Flender, is a Rank 78, seven-ring Assault-type Battle Soul Saint. I apologize to Lord Lin Yuan for what happened just now."
