After another round of introductions from Ning Fengzhi.

Su Ming learned that this ice-attribute dragon-type soul bone came from a 30,000-year-old Frost Giant Dragon, obtained by the Sect Guardian Elder of that generation two thousand years ago; the soul bone was left behind after his death.

As for this ten-thousand-year Blazing Burning Heaven Tiger soul bone, it was obtained by Sword Douluo Chen Xin while out training; needless to say, this soul bone was undoubtedly stained with the scent of blood.

After the introductions, Ning Fengzhi handed these two ten-thousand-year soul bones to Su Ming. Su Ming took them and passed them to Dugu Bo, letting Dugu Bo put them away.

Afterward, Su Ming bid farewell to Ning Fengzhi.

"Then, Father-in-law, Uncle Gu, we shall take our leave now."

Watching the four of them step onto clouds and fly toward Heaven Dou City, Bone Douluo Gu Rong spoke to Ning Fengzhi.

"Fengzhi, you say it's impossible for that brat Su Ming to have obtained only one Immortal Herb, right?"

"Uncle Gu, Su Ming is now betrothed to Rongrong. As for how many he obtained, I do not know. We can only let Rongrong whisper sweet nothings in his ear later to see if she can get Su Ming to cough up a few more. Even if we don't all upgrade to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, upgrading to the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda would still be quite good."

On the other side, halfway through the flight to Heaven Dou City, Su Ming had Dugu Bo change direction to head toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Half an hour later, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Upon arriving, Wang Sheng was shocked by the environment before him.

After arriving, Su Ming gave Dugu Bo an instruction.

"Old Poison, don't let Sister Yan Yan absorb that soul bone just yet."

After giving the instruction, Su Ming walked straight toward a Blood Dragon Ginseng; this particular Blood Dragon Ginseng was a full 50,000 years old.

He also picked a Nine Grade Dragon Ganoderma and a True Dragon Grass.

Su Ming then walked to the side of the Yang Spring and took the Creation Furnace out of his soul tool.

He told the three of them that he needed about an hour to refine pills and that they should not disturb him during that time.

Having said that, Su Ming began to refine the pills on his own.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan ran to the side of the Ice Spring to begin cultivating, Wang Sheng, possessing a Fire Attribute, cultivated not far from Su Ming, and the soul power within Dugu Bo was nearing level 95, so he also began to cultivate cross-legged.

Su Ming threw these three medicinal herbs in right from the start and began to control the Creation Furnace to extract the essence of the three herbs, mixing them together to refine them into two pills, one large and one small.

Time passed quickly, and an hour went by; Su Ming's pills were also finished.

The other three stopped their cultivation and walked over. Seeing Dugu Yan approach, Su Ming handed her the large and small pills in his hand.

"These are True Dragon Pills I refined based on three dragon-attribute medicinal herbs. If a soul beast eats them, it can purify its dragon bloodline. If a dragon-type soul master eats them, they can evolve their martial soul."

"Between this large one and the small one, you eat the large one, then refine that Frost Giant Dragon Right Arm Bone. Your martial soul will be at the True Dragon level, which is to say, a top-tier martial soul."

"As for the small one, you can give it to your boyfriend, Yu Tianheng."

"Alright, go ahead and eat it."

Dugu Yan took the pills and thanked Su Ming. She then took the pills and the soul bone Dugu Bo handed her, preparing to absorb them beside the Ice Spring.

"Little Monster, I have this other ten-thousand-year Blazing Burning Heaven Tiger soul bone here. Why aren't you planning to absorb it yourself? Are you planning to give it to this kid?"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo glanced at Wang Sheng, who was beside Su Ming.

"That's right, I intend for Wang Sheng to absorb it. The age of this soul bone is too low; I don't have any use for it. Besides, it doesn't suit my martial soul."

"After he absorbs it, he can shine brilliantly at the All Continent Soul Master Elite Tournament two years from now. Later on, many soul masters will come to trade things in exchange for martial soul evolution. Who knows what kind of good things might be among the items traded."

"So, I'm letting him absorb it."

After finishing, Su Ming took the soul bone from Dugu Bo's hand and gave it to Wang Sheng. He also took out one of the two pills he had previously refined using the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and handed it to Wang Sheng as well.

"Eat the pill first, then refine the soul bone."

Receiving the soul bone and the pill, Wang Sheng was moved.

"Alright, stop being moved. Hurry up and absorb it so you can strive to shine at the next All Continent Soul Master Elite Tournament as I said. That way, I can recoup my investment."

Wang Sheng took the soul bone and the pill, sat cross-legged beside the Yang Spring, and began to refine the pill.

Three hours later, both of them had finished refining their pills, and two more hours passed before they finished refining their soul bones; both of their martial souls had evolved.

Dugu Yan, martial soul: Jade Phosphorus Ice Dragon.

Wang Sheng, martial soul: Blazing Burning Heaven Tiger.

After absorbing the pills and soul bones, Wang Sheng's level also rose from his original level 35 to level 40.

Su Ming also gave a suggestion for a suitable soul beast: a "Magma Earth-Splitting Tiger." With Wang Sheng's current physical fitness, an eight or nine-thousand-year-old one would be no problem.

As it happened, this type of soul beast could be found in the Sunset Forest. Later, with Dugu Bo's help, they successfully captured an 8,000-year-old Magma Earth-Splitting Tiger, and Wang Sheng successfully absorbed it, bringing his soul power to level 42.

After the absorption was complete, Su Ming gave a word to Old Monster, and then Su Ming took Dugu Yan and Wang Sheng back to Heaven Dou City.

After returning to Heaven Dou City, they parted ways, and two days later, Ning Rongrong returned after hunting for her soul ring.

Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Su Ming, Wang Sheng, and Ning Rongrong—the seven of them—formed a soul master team and began training.

The first stop was naturally the Great Soul Arena of Heaven Dou. Under the leadership of Flender, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji, the seven of them came to the Great Soul Arena of Heaven Dou for the first time to participate in the seven-versus-seven team battle tournament.

Since three of the seven were Soul Ancestors, the opposing team in the first match had four Soul Ancestors, and they were all much older than Su Ming and his group. Therefore, as soon as Su Ming went up, he instantly took out two of the opposing Soul Ancestors, knocking them off the stage. With the opponent short-handed, it was seven against five, so they won quickly.

After the match, Su Ming was forbidden by the teachers from using his full strength, as they wanted the others to contribute and work on their coordination.

The team name "Shrek Seven Devils" was also coined by the audience after Su Ming and his group had won for a week straight.

Regarding this, Su Ming only wanted to say that the name Shrek Seven Devils would indeed be carried forward in the future, only it would be Su Ming leading others to do so. Tang San would have nothing to do with it.

Over the next month, the seven members of the Shrek Seven Devils progressed smoothly, building their coordination. They experimented with various tactics provided by their teachers, and the results were remarkable; the seven-person team battles clearly became more effortless and intuitive.

Having already fought at the Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City for a month, and with two years remaining until the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, Flender and Liu Erlong discussed the matter and decided to travel around the Great Soul Arenas in the major cities of the Heaven Dou Empire. They would fight wherever they went.

However, just as everyone was preparing to set off, an unexpected event occurred. Yu Xiao Gang arrived with Tang San to find Flender and Liu Erlong.

Upon encountering Yu Xiao Gang and Tang San at the main gate, the itinerary was canceled on the spot. Shortly after, the clan members saw Flender and Liu Erlong leading Tang San and Yu Xiao Gang into the academy.

It was unclear how Flender had been sweet-talked by Yu Xiao Gang, or if it had something to do with Liu Erlong.

In any case, early the next morning, Flender came personally to find Su Ming.

"I say, regarding that Yu Xiao Gang, didn't you already guess the method for Martial Soul Evolution? According to that theory, isn't he, Yu Xiao Gang, just a fraud? Why are you still...?"
