Yu Luo Mian thought to himself that he was now at level eighty-five, but it had taken him four years to rise from level eighty-four to level eighty-five.

To rise from level eighty-five to level ninety, there was still the bottleneck at level eighty-nine. He had no idea how long that would take.

In any case, he felt there was little hope of breaking through to Titled Douluo.

"Tian Heng and Tian Xin don't need you to raise them. If you have time, go see that daughter of yours and build more affection with her.

"The clan needs a second Titled Douluo. I think he has more hope of breaking through than you!"

Yu Yuanzhen said bluntly.

Yu Luo Mian only felt that his elder brother was especially angry today. He immediately did not dare argue and hurriedly said, "I'm already taking care of her. She wants to run an academy; if she needs resources, the clan gives her resources, and if she needs connections, the clan gives her connections. We support her unconditionally!"

Only then did Yu Yuanzhen nod.

But in his heart, he was thinking of seven years ago, when Bibi Dong ascended to the position of Pope.

He had gone to his son Yu Xiaogang to learn about Bibi Dong's martial soul cultivation.

His son had said only one thing to him: Bibi Dong had Twin Martial Souls.

There was no need to say anything else.

The pressure bearing down on him had already made Yu Yuanzhen feel it.

After so many years, Bibi Dong had quickly gained her footing and made that group of veteran elders in Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Pass, Guimei, and the others, obediently follow her orders. That had already proven his son's words true.

Recently, Spirit Hall had been acting more and more aggressively.

Their poaching talents had already reached the point where they were digging brazenly into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Although Xiaogang was trash when it came to martial soul cultivation, arranging for him to enter Spirit Hall had indeed been the right move.

With the help of Spirit Hall's resources, he had proposed so many martial soul theories, greatly raising the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's status in the Spirit Master World.

"Xiaogang, I'm becoming more and more optimistic about you. Just what is so special about that disciple you accepted?

"Tang San, Tang San.

"With your judgment, an ordinary person absolutely wouldn't catch your eye.

"And he even has an Innate Full Soul Power Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

"Surnamed Tang. This really is interesting!

"Xiaogang, I hope that, as you said, you can make your father see you in a new light in the future!"

Yu Yuanzhen's thoughts raced, and his spirit once again sensed toward the Dugu Family's carriage.

If he could draw the Dugu Family over, with the two families allied, the clan would be somewhat more stable too.

This time, Dugu Shuo had poisoned Hu Yan Zhen to death, completely offending Spirit Hall.

Dugu Shuo, oh Dugu Shuo!

You don't know how formidable Bibi Dong is.

In the future, there will be a day when you come begging me.

By then, Tian Heng would have also won over Dugu Yan. How could the Dugu Family not attach itself to me!

Yu Yuanzhen laughed inwardly, his wishful thinking ringing loud and clear.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

Next Morning.

Dugu Feng, who had cultivated all night, felt the energy within his Pill Bead surge by two points, reaching eighty-eight.

If things progressed at this pace, wouldn't he need only six days to fill it completely?

It was just that condensing soul power and energy was truly fast, truly comfortable.

Dugu Feng took out Serpent Meat, Serpent Gall, and Fried Scorpion, then ate another fierce meal before getting off the carriage.

Then he saw Ge Ying standing outside the carriage.

"Brother Ge, you've recovered! You have no idea how frightening you looked yesterday. That damned Breaking Clan actually dared poison Brother Ge!!"

Dugu Feng looked filled with righteous indignation.

Ge Ying smiled helplessly. Ge Long had already told him about what happened yesterday.

It had absolutely been an undeserved disaster.

The Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect wanted to scheme against the Dugu Family, so they first found someone to poison him and frame Dugu Shuo.

And he, Ge Ying, had become the victim.

But the Dugu Family had turned the tables and directly wiped out the Elephant Armor Sect. That was ruthless enough, and powerful enough.

After hearing his father's account, he had been stunned for quite a while.

"I was just about to come thank Dugu Clan Leader for saving me!" Ge Ying said with a smile.

"Brother Ge, you're being too polite. You're my teacher, after all. In the future, when I'm at school, I'll still need you to take care of me!"

Dugu Feng winked.

Ge Ying immediately gave a wry smile. "You need me to look after you?"

The Elephant Armor Sect's high-end forces, including its Sect Master, had all been wiped out. Once word got out, who knew how much of a shock it would cause?

Though Dugu Shuo denied it, everyone knew he had done it.

The Dugu Family's prestige was about to sweep across the continent once more, just as it had several years ago when Dugu Bo advanced to Titled Douluo.

He patted Dugu Feng on the shoulder and said nothing more.

What he was thinking about were his father's words: the Dugu Family absolutely could not be made an enemy.

They did not only have Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, but also someone as ruthless as Dugu Shuo, and the new generation's Dugu Feng had begun to grow as well.

Though this family had few members, every one of them was a vicious character.

Ge Ying very much agreed.

The sun gradually rose. After the people in the convoy had filled their stomachs, they set off again.

Next up was Suotuo City.

Their traveling speed was still not fast. The matter with the Holy Dragon Sect had made the entire convoy much more cautious.

Only after two days did they finish this final stretch and approach Suotuo City.

When they were still several kilometers from Suotuo City, the first thing that entered their view was an unbroken expanse of military camps. The garrison here had at least a hundred thousand men.

From this alone, one could see the importance of this city.

Once they drew near the city, Dugu Feng discovered that Suotuo City's walls were taller than those of every major city he had seen along the way.

This city had been built to guard against the Star Luo Empire!

After entering the city, the three carriages headed straight for the tallest building in the city.

It was nearly a hundred meters high, entirely white, and looked extremely solemn and imposing.

Through the carriage curtain, Dugu Feng looked at the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena and somehow felt it was strange.

Strictly speaking, his family was one of the bosses behind the Great Soul Arena, yet this was still his first time coming here.

"The Suotuo City Great Soul Arena is one of the largest soul arenas on the continent.

Inside, there is one Main Soul Duel Arena and twenty-four sub-arenas. The spectator stands can hold sixty thousand people, and there are over a hundred VIP boxes. The money earned here every day is an astronomical figure!"

Old Snake's eyes shone with gold, as if he had completely taken the Great Soul Arena as his own family's property.

Old Scorpion and the other soul masters all revealed smiles as well.

"The share of profits vacated by the Clear Sky Sect absolutely cannot be allowed to fall into Spirit Hall's hands!"

Dugu Feng's eyes likewise glittered with gold.

In the past, he had not thought much of it. If Spirit Hall took it, then so be it.

But now the Great Soul Arena was right before his eyes.

And it made his heart ache.

That was mine. That was mine.

How much Whale Rubber could all this money buy?

Moreover, for the family to train so many soul masters, they needed to provide all kinds of Antidote Pills to resist Poison Attacks, needed to research martial spirits, and needed to cultivate the Nine Heavens Centipede Spirit Masters hidden in the shadows. Even a landlord's household had no surplus grain!

After the carriages stopped, the group walked in familiarly.

They did not go to the soul duel area prepared for soul masters, but instead arrived at the topmost floor of the Great Soul Arena.

The top floor of the Great Soul Arena was the Six Great Families' own territory, serving as their living area and viewing area.

From there, the twenty-five soul arenas below, along with the massive spectator stands, could all be seen at a glance.

Standing above and watching so many Guests below betting on victories, placing wagers, and fighting soul duels gave one a strong feeling of being the mastermind behind the scenes.

When this place was built, it had definitely been filled with wicked amusement and a sense of accomplishment.
