Heading to Spirit City

Before heading to the outer sea, he decided to go back and visit his grandfather and sister. By his reckoning, the Soul Master Tournament should be starting soon as well.

Because of Tang San, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo would ambush the Heaven Dou Empire's team along the way.

Although helping Dugu Yan would not be a problem, he still decided to go take a look, just in case.

Dugu Feng returned the Forging Hammer to the system space, and the Wind-Thunder Twin Wings on his back instantly unfurled.

He flew toward another part of the Star Dou Great Forest, intending to first improve his soul ring configuration.

With the Wind-Thunder Twin Wings, his speed had increased dramatically.

In less than half a month, he had raised all his soul rings to their limits.

After his first soul ring reached sixty thousand years, it could no longer be upgraded, while his second soul ring had risen to eighty thousand years.

The rest of his soul rings had gradually all been raised to one hundred thousand years.

His soul ring configuration was now two black and seven red.

After raising his soul ring configuration to its limit, Dugu Feng sped toward Heaven Dou City.

His A Leap of a Thousand Li had now evolved into A Leap of Ten Thousand Li.

At the same time, like a true Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, it had produced a new skill.

It was called Spatial Leap. Its greatest difference from A Leap of Ten Thousand Li was that it could carry others.

Of course, this skill had another effect: once someone was kicked by it, that person would also be instantly teleported away.

Dugu Feng first made a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and found that Dugu Bo was not there.

He then strengthened the poisonous gas at the outermost layer of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

That way, once Dugu Bo returned, he would certainly notice that Dugu Feng had been there.

Afterward, he rushed without stopping to Heaven Dou City and paid a visit to the three education committee members.

Upon learning that the Imperial Fighting Team had set out three days ago, he hurried after them.

After all, Spirit Hall would strike before the Heaven Dou delegation reached Spirit City. Though their target was Shrek Academy's group,

the other teams would inevitably be caught up in it as well. To achieve their goal, Spirit Hall would not care about the safety of other soul master teams.

Dugu Feng traveled swiftly with A Leap of Ten Thousand Li.

Before long, he arrived at a great canyon, the only route leading to Spirit Hall.

Before he even got close, he heard the sounds of battle coming from nearby.

A large group of masked men were fighting the teachers and students from the various academies.

Dugu Feng swept the area with his spiritual sense and quickly locked onto the Imperial Fighting Team.

With a flash of his body, he seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared before Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan was currently fighting a Soul Emperor when Dugu Feng's sudden appearance separated them.

Since her martial soul had evolved into the Jade Spirit Serpent Emperor, Dugu Yan's cultivation speed had soared. She was now a level fifty-three control-type Soul King.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to hold out against a Soul Emperor for so long.

Looking at the familiar back that had suddenly appeared before her, Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with excitement. Even after so many years, she recognized it at a glance.

"Xiaofeng, is that you?!"

Dugu Feng nodded slightly.

"Courting death!"

The black-clad Soul Emperor did not care who Dugu Feng was. He gathered Soul Power in his palm and struck toward Dugu Feng's chest like a flood dragon emerging from the sea.

Dugu Feng stood where he was without moving, allowing the black-clad Soul Emperor's attack to land on his chest.

But in the next second, a vast and powerful surge of Soul Power burst forth from Dugu Feng's body like a tidal wave.

The powerful recoil instantly sent the black-clad Soul Emperor flying backward, his body smashing stiffly into the canyon wall.

"An overconfident insect. Die!"

Dugu Feng merely raised a finger, and a pure, tyrannical burst of inner force shot out, directly blasting apart the Soul Emperor's head.

This sudden scene made all the nearby black-clad men turn toward Dugu Feng. Before they could react, however, Dugu Feng clapped his hands.

In the next moment, the black-clad men let out heart-rending screams one after another, clawing frantically at their own throats.

They could only feel that breathing had become difficult and their throats were burning unbearably.

Some of the black-clad men tried to use Soul Power to lessen the excruciating pain.

But the moment they used their Soul Power, a strange force instantly spread over their bodies, and they began to slowly dissolve into blood at a visible rate.

The process was not fast, but that was precisely what made it truly terrifying: it forced them to watch themselves die bit by bit.

The torment of both flesh and soul reached its peak.

This horrifying sight also made the Heaven Dou soldiers still resisting nearby turn toward Dugu Feng, their eyes filled with fear.

Yu Tianheng hurried over to Dugu Feng, his face full of excitement.

"Captain, is that you?!"

At the same time, another figure rushed out of the crowd and arrived before Dugu Feng. It was Gu Lei, whom he had not seen in years. Gu Lei had become much more muscular and stood nearly two meters tall.

His Soul Power had also reached level forty-nine. He was already a Soul Ancestor.

All of this was thanks to the simplified Toad Breathing Method Dugu Feng had given him.

"Teacher, you finally came back. My talent is too lacking. I had hoped to break through to the Soul King realm before you returned, but it seems that was wishful thinking."

"A twenty-two-year-old Soul Ancestor is still a genius. With your talent, you can break through to the Soul King realm at around twenty-three. There is no need to belittle yourself. This time, I plan to establish a sect."

"It will be called the Toad God Sect."

"The Toad God Sect? Isn't that name a little too casual?"

Gu Lei asked in confusion. Dugu Feng truly could not think of a better name. After all, sect names were generally related to their own martial souls.

The Clear Sky Sect was named after the Clear Sky Hammer, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

His martial soul was the Ice Fire Nether Toad Emperor. If he named the sect after his martial soul, the name would become extremely long: the Ice Fire Nether Toad Sect.

"The name Toad God Sect really is a little unsuitable. It feels like it lacks some imposing power. We can think it over after we get back. If we truly cannot come up with anything better, we'll use that name."

"I knew it. Shouldn't we help the others? We can think about the name after that. The other academies are still fighting their opponents."

Yu Tianheng looked around and found that the surrounding area had been blocked off by enormous boulders, so he quickly spoke up.

Hearing this, Dugu Feng waved a hand.

"These people are not targeting those academies. Their real target is Shrek Academy. Do not interfere with the karma of others."

Dugu Feng naturally wanted to eliminate Tang San as well.

Therefore, if Tang San could be killed by Spirit Hall's hand, it would not necessarily be a bad thing for him.

He had already examined the situation with his spiritual power. The other academies were only being stopped by Soul Kings, with the strongest among them merely Soul Emperors.

The teachers from those academies, meanwhile, were being held back by several Soul Saints.

At present, a Soul Douluo had already headed toward Shrek.

"A dignified Soul Douluo failing to deal with a few little brats would be downright shameful."

Just then, Dugu Feng discovered that the Soul Douluo still had not dealt with Tang San. While marveling at the strength of the child of destiny, he also looked down on that Soul Douluo.
