Departure for Suotuo City

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan's dormitory.

After refining the Soul Bone Wang Feng had given her, she began circulating her poison cultivation technique and forcing the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's source poison into the Soul Bone. After several days, she finally succeeded.

From this day onward, she no longer had to worry about being harmed by the poison's backlash.

"Wang Feng, I want to tell my grandfather about this. If he finds out, he'll definitely be very happy."

As she spoke excitedly, Dugu Yan pulled Wang Feng toward her home.

Her home was in Heaven Dou City's inner district, not far from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Had the time finally come? Was he finally going to meet Dugu Bo?

Wang Feng was rather curious about Dugu Bo, the disgrace of the Titled Douluo.

In his previous life, Dugu Bo had been known as nothing more than the weakest Titled Douluo and the disgrace of the Titled Douluo.

He clearly possessed powerful poison, yet he had been poisoned himself and could not cure it, even passing it down to his descendants.

In the end, he had still needed the protagonist Tang San's help to resolve it. Otherwise, he would not have lived for many more years.

He even possessed a treasure land like the Icefire Yin Yang Well, filled with Immortal Herbs, yet because he could not recognize their value, Tang San had eventually stolen them all.

Now that Dugu Yan had become his woman, wouldn't Dugu Bo's herb garden become his herb garden as well?

As for Tang San, he was better suited to being his lab rat.

Before long, Wang Feng followed Dugu Yan to her home.

The moment she entered, Dugu Yan happily called out, "Grandfather, are you home?"

"Strange, why isn't Grandfather home?"

Wang Feng reminded her, "Yanyan, could your grandfather have gone off to cultivate?"

"Cultivate!" Dugu Yan thought of a possibility, and her little face turned pale. She hurried to her grandfather's room and, after seeing the letter he had left behind, finally confirmed it.

"Yanyan, what's wrong?" Wang Feng asked worriedly when he saw her expression.

"Wang Feng, my grandfather should be in Sunset Forest, cultivating in seclusion."

As she spoke, she showed Wang Feng the letter in her hand.

[Yanyan, Grandfather will be cultivating in seclusion for a year. Study hard at the academy and don't worry about Grandfather.]

The moment Wang Feng saw it, he thought of Dugu Bo's poison and guessed that it had probably flared up. Dugu Bo must have said this because he did not want Dugu Yan to worry.

"Wang Feng, I think my grandfather may have suffered a poisonous backlash. What if he..."

At the thought of her grandfather suffering that living hell brought by the poison's backlash, Dugu Yan's face was filled with worry. If her grandfather...

"Yanyan, don't worry. Your grandfather will be fine."

Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo. If he could die that easily, he truly would become the disgrace of the Titled Douluo.

After comforting Dugu Yan, the two returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

What disappointed Wang Feng was that, because Dugu Bo was suffering from the poison's backlash, he could not go with Dugu Yan to the Icefire Yin Yang Well for now. Still, he was not in a hurry. There was more than a year left. Once Dugu Bo emerged, the Immortal Herbs there would still be his.

After returning to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the two resumed their daily routine of classes, cultivation, and sparring practice.

Three months passed quietly.

During those three months, aside from cultivating, Wang Feng collected many books and materials at the academy. There was everything from geographical records to records of Spirit Beast distributions...

Throughout his studies, he did not neglect training or creating techniques either.

Perhaps because of Wang Feng's arrival and because they had witnessed his formidable strength, the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Team's first squad entered a period of frenzied cultivation. Their strength had improved even more than in the original story.

At this point, Wang Feng's Soul Power had reached level thirty-three.

Dugu Yan was level thirty-nine.

Yu Tianheng was level thirty-nine.

Ye Lingling was level thirty-seven.

Yufeng was level thirty-six.

Shi Mo was level thirty-seven.

Shi Mo was level thirty-eight.

At this point, the Heaven Dou Imperial Team's first squad was already much stronger than in the original story.

At this moment, Heaven Dou Imperial Team's training ground.

Boom!

With a thunderous crash, Wang Feng dodged Yu Tianheng's attack and said,

"Come on, continue."

"Alright, Wang Feng. I'll be going all out now. Be careful."

"Fine, attack with everything you've got. Let me see how strong you really are."

"Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Might."

Rumble! Thunder roared as countless electric serpents shot out from Yu Tianheng's body, instantly enveloping Wang Feng.

Using his second Soul Skill under the effects of his third Soul Skill, Berserk, was already Yu Tianheng's strongest attack.

"Thunder, huh? This attack is indeed powerful, Tianheng. If you could condense all those attacks and unleash them at once, I might fear you somewhat. But your attack is too scattered now, so its power has been greatly reduced. Let me break it for you."

As Wang Feng spoke, a purple Spirit Ring lit up around him.

"Third Soul Skill, Teleportation."

Wang Feng's third Soul Skill, Teleportation, allowed him to instantly move within a hundred meters to appear before his opponent.

This skill was extremely practical for Wang Feng.

The instant he used his third Soul Skill, Wang Feng vanished. In the next second, he appeared directly before Yu Tianheng.

The moment he appeared, the longsword in Wang Feng's hand was already poised to strike.

Just as the thunder descended, the word "Slash!" rang out. An unstoppable green crescent sword light slashed from Wang Feng's hand, instantly cutting toward Yu Tianheng's thunder.

Wherever the sword light passed, the thunder shattered inch by inch.

One sword strike. Just one sword strike had broken Yu Tianheng's Thunderous Might.

"Wang Feng, that's cheating. You said you wouldn't use your third Soul Skill."

Seeing Wang Feng instantly destroy his attack, Yu Tianheng was not discouraged. Instead, he began complaining about Wang Feng.

Over the past three months, he had lost to Wang Feng many times and had already grown accustomed to it.

The reason he had fought Wang Feng just now was because they had agreed that Wang Feng would not use his third Soul Skill. Who would have thought he would still use it?

"Haha, Tianheng, I used it instinctively. I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it."

Wang Feng truly could not help it. It was simply too cool, and he had used it without realizing.

He had developed this move over the past half year. It was called Fierce Light Slash.

Using the speed of Teleportation, he instantly appeared before an enemy and unleashed a powerful green sword light through an explosive burst of Soul Power. Its power was so great that even Wang Feng was impressed.

"Alright, Tianheng. Lingling and Yufeng are up next. You two come down first."

"Yes, Teacher Qin."

Yu Tianheng replied before walking down with Wang Feng.

Thinking of what Wang Feng had said earlier, Yu Tianheng could not help asking, "Wang Feng, you said that if I concentrated my attacks together, their power would become stronger. Is that true?"

"Of course it is. Your thunder attacks possess tremendous destructive power, but they are too scattered. Once they scatter, their attack power naturally weakens."

After spending so much time together, Wang Feng and Yu Tianheng had developed a good relationship. They were teammates as well, so Wang Feng did not mind giving him some guidance.

"When you cultivate normally, try concentrating your attacks at one point before releasing them. Your attack power might increase by quite a lot."

"Is that so? Then I'll try it when I get back." Yu Tianheng felt that Wang Feng's words made sense and decided to give it a try after returning.

When Ye Lingling fought Yufeng, the strength she displayed was completely unlike what an auxiliary-type Soul Master should possess.

Now at level thirty-seven, Ye Lingling's Spiral Bullet possessed such formidable attack power that even Yufeng was somewhat surprised.

Ever since Ye Lingling learned Spiral Bullet from Wang Feng and displayed this highly destructive skill, she had been trained as a battle Soul Master.

Furthermore, Ye Lingling also pursued strength, so she naturally gave it her all.

Now, she possessed both an instant recovery Soul Skill and powerful offensive methods.

For a time, even Yufeng, a agility-attack type Soul Master, could do nothing against her.

While Ye Lingling was fighting Lingfeng, Qin Ming was called away by a teacher for a while before quickly returning.

"Pause for a moment. I have something to announce."

Hearing Qin Ming's words, everyone stopped and looked at him.

"Just now, the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City invited us to participate in Spirit Arena battles there. After thinking it over, I agreed, since it would be a good opportunity for you to train. Do any of you have objections?"

Qin Ming's words instantly made Wang Feng think of Shrek.

They were going to Suotuo City. Didn't that mean they would run into the Shrek Seven Monsters?

He had not seen them in a long time. He somewhat missed Zhu Zhuqing, that cold and gorgeous beauty, so he naturally agreed.

"No."

"Spirit Arena battles? That sounds interesting. Besides, we're getting a little tired of staying at the academy."

Yu Tianheng and the others spoke with slight excitement.

"Good. Since that's the case, go back and pack your things. We will depart for Suotuo City tomorrow."

"Yes, Teacher Qin."

After returning to his dormitory, Wang Feng thought of the Immortal Herbs.

"Now that the Suotuo City storyline has begun, running into the seven from Shrek is inevitable."

"According to the plot, it won't be long before Tang San and the others arrive at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, then Dugu Bo takes them to the Icefire Yin Yang Well."

"But with me here, none of that can happen."

"Unfortunately, Dugu Bo hasn't returned even once in these past three months. Otherwise, there would be no need to worry about the Immortal Herbs."

What left Wang Feng speechless was that despite having been at Heaven Dou Royal Academy for so long, Dugu Bo had not returned even once to see Dugu Yan. Moreover, he had no idea what was going on with Xue Qinghe. She had promised to help him obtain a catalog of the Immortal Herbs, yet there had not been any news at all.

"Just in case, after returning from Suotuo City, I'll ask Xue Qinghe about it again. Once I get the catalog, if Dugu Bo still hasn't emerged, I'll have to look for them myself."

Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang's room.

"How can this be? The route is clearly correct, so why can't I research and create it?"

"Could it be because my strength is too low? Am I truly destined to never break through level thirty?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the Soul Power in his hand, his face filled with disappointment.

All these years, he had never given up on becoming stronger or breaking through the limit of level thirty.

But no matter what he tried, it was useless.

Ever since seeing Wang Feng unleash a powerful Self-Created Soul Skill, he had wanted to rely on his own wisdom to create a Soul Skill.

After coming to teach at Shrek Academy and being mocked by Ning Rongrong once more, his obsession with becoming stronger and creating a Soul Skill had only deepened.
