First Arrival in Heaven Dou City

Heaven Dou City. It had taken Dugu Feng nearly a full year to get here.

Although he was only eleven years old, he already looked like a boy of fourteen or fifteen.

Though he had trained with all his might over the past year, his Soul Power had only risen by one level. He was currently level 43.

However, over that year, he had made a name for himself in Great Soul Arenas across various regions.

Quite a few Soul Kings and even Soul Emperors had been defeated by him.

Ordinary Soul Elders and even Soul Ancestors were basically unqualified to make him fight. They were brought down directly by his poisonous gas.

Only Soul Kings could make him put in a little effort, but very few could force him to use his Martial Soul.

It was not that the pill poison within his body could not defeat Soul Kings. Quite the opposite—his poison was simply too potent.

Too little would have no effective result, while too much would be fatal.

Thus, he could only use his Self-Created Soul Skills, combined with A Thousand Li in a Flash and Bone-Penetrating Acupoint Striking, to defeat his opponents.

Over the past year, he had won 214 matches.

He had not suffered a single defeat and had become the holder of a Golden Fighting Silver Badge.

Bone-Penetrating Acupoint Striking and A Thousand Li in a Flash had also reached mastery through more than a hundred battles.

As long as any cultivation technique on the panel reached mastery, he could receive a corresponding Spirit Bone reward.

This was one of the few reward mechanisms offered by the Ouyang Feng the Western Poison panel.

"Finally, I've arrived in Heaven Dou City."

Dugu Feng looked at the majestic Heaven Dou City before him, his heart filled with emotion.

Back when he had transmigrated into the Douluo world, he had started out as an abandoned infant and had nearly been eaten by a soul beast.

Fortunately, he had encountered Dugu Bo, turning disaster into a blessing.

Afterward, he had obtained the Ouyang Feng the Western Poison panel and begun his arduous cultivation.

Now, at just over eleven years old, he was already a level 43 Soul Ancestor.

Tang San had only been a level 29 Soul Grandmaster at the age of twelve.

Even in Douluo 2 or Douluo 3, becoming a level 43 Soul Ancestor at eleven would still make him an unparalleled genius.

Dugu Feng entered Heaven Dou City and headed straight for Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Halfway there, a pebble suddenly flew at him without warning.

Just as the pebble was about to strike Dugu Feng in the face, it was instantly shattered by an invisible force of Soul Power.

Dugu Feng looked toward the attacker and saw a noble child of only five or six years old.

Two soul masters followed behind the child.

When the noble child saw that the sneak attack had failed, he immediately grew somewhat annoyed.

"Not fun."

Dugu Feng looked at the noble child with an unfriendly expression.

"Commoner, if you know what's good for you, get lost. This is Count Ryan's son."

"Commoner? Since your mouth cannot speak properly, you have no need for it."

The moment Dugu Feng finished speaking, the soul master who had shouted at him instantly clutched his mouth.

In only a moment, his mouth began to rot, releasing waves of foul stench.

"My tongue...!"

Before the soul master could finish speaking, excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his body. His tongue had already turned into a lump of rotten flesh.

It fell straight out of his mouth.

The other soul master watched the horrifying scene and could not help taking several steps back.

"Ah!"

The noble child saw the rotten flesh that had fallen to the ground and was instantly scared out of his wits, screaming at the top of his lungs!

"Ah!"

Dugu Feng watched the scene, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Though this noble child was arrogant and overbearing, he had not committed a crime worthy of death. Dugu Feng was someone who clearly distinguished gratitude from grudges.

He repaid every grudge and every favor.

He judged punishment according to the grievance and would not kill someone over a trivial conflict.

What had happened now was enough to teach the noble child a profound lesson.

Just as Dugu Feng was preparing to leave, the soul master whose tongue had rotted stared at him with venomous hatred.

He had already guessed that Dugu Feng was behind it. Blinded by rage, he had completely failed to consider that someone capable of such bizarre methods—

Could not possibly be an ordinary person.

He immediately activated Martial Soul Possession. His Martial Soul was a Claw Civet.

One yellow and one white soul ring slowly rose beneath his feet, while his five fingers transformed into sharp claws.

He turned into an afterimage and lunged directly at Dugu Feng.

Dugu Feng instantly stopped and turned around without expression.

Before the Claw Civet soul master could even approach Dugu Feng, he suddenly collapsed twenty paces away.

His skin turned gray at a visible rate, his eyes began to cloud over, and not a trace of life remained.

As if he had seen nothing, Dugu Feng continued onward.

"He... he! Is he dead?!"

The noble child looked at the dead soul master, his expression now incomparably terrified.

The sole remaining soul master had not expected Dugu Feng to actually dare kill someone in Heaven Dou City.

"Young Master, we need to return at once and report this to the family head."

Dugu Feng did not care in the slightest about this minor incident.

He soon arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. As the foremost academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Royal Academy truly possessed an imposing presence.

Dugu Feng looked at the soldiers guarding the entrance. Every one of them was a royal armored guard.

That was enough to prove the importance of Heaven Dou Royal Academy within the Heaven Dou Empire.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was filled with noble children and disciples from various sects.

After graduating, all of them would serve the empire.

Only commoner children with exceptionally outstanding talent had a chance of being recruited by the empire into this academy.

Yet even so, because of their commoner origins, they still suffered discrimination and suppression within the academy.

After all, nobles had always possessed a powerful will to dominate.

Relying on their noble status, they believed themselves to be above everyone else.

That was what Dugu Feng found most intolerable.

And that arrogant, overbearing noble child was merely a microcosm of the entire noble system.

Whether in Douluo 1 or Douluo 2, the common people at the bottom lived the hardest lives, especially in Douluo 2.

Though the Douluo Federation of Douluo 3 had some internal problems, it still allowed its people to live well.

At the very least, there was no danger of starving to death.

Dugu Feng then took an admission notice from inside his clothes.

Poison Douluo had personally delivered this admission notice to him. Poison Douluo had originally thought the boy would reach Heaven Dou City in two or three months at most, but he had unexpectedly delayed for an entire year.

After learning that Dugu Feng had not arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy on time, Poison Douluo had begun searching everywhere for his whereabouts, until he found traces of him at the Great Soul Arena in Silvers City.

After learning of his winning streak in the Soul Arena, Poison Douluo was no longer angry and personally came to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for him.

To complete the procedures for extending his enrollment.

"I hope this Heaven Dou Royal Academy can give me some unexpected surprises."

Dugu Feng had only two reasons for coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. One was to participate in the upcoming All-Continent Soul Master Tournament.

The other was to guide his older sister's cultivation while he was at it.

After taking Aromatic Silk Beauty, Dugu Yan's Martial Soul had evolved into the Jade Spirit Serpent Emperor.

Dugu Yan's Jade Spirit Serpent Emperor did not need to worry about snake venom harming her body, perfectly resolving the flaw of the Dugu Family's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

Moreover, Dugu Yan's snake venom possessed the ability to attack the soul.
