"By the way, sorry for the trouble, but could you two seniors also inform the Pope that I wish to go to Spirit City to hold a Titled Ceremony."
"After all, the ultimate dream of many Soul Masters is to hold a grand Titled Ceremony in Spirit City. The main issue is that I'm simply too young."
"I don't want future generations to see a sixteen-year-old Titled Douluo and think it was fabricated out of thin air. Only if Spirit Hall holds it and announces it to the world can Dugu Feng's name truly spread."
Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned slightly upon hearing this, then looked toward Ghost Douluo beside him. Ghost Douluo nodded faintly.
"Of course. Titled Douluos are entitled to hold a Titled Ceremony in Spirit City. We look forward to your arrival."
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo carried away the knocked-out Soul Kings before leaving.
Dugu Feng had not originally considered this, but the system had suddenly issued a mission.
[Ask to Dominate the World] [First-stage mission: Make at least 60% of the Soul Masters across the continent aware that you are the youngest Titled Douluo, and let the world know your prestige] [As a peerless expert, merely speaking your name should be enough to intimidate your enemies] [Reward: Nine-Turn Great Recovery Pill]
If he wanted at least 60% of the Soul Masters across the continent to learn of him in the shortest possible time, the fastest method was Spirit Hall's Titled Ceremony.
Once a Soul Master reached the Titled realm, they could go to Spirit Hall, which would hold a Titled Ceremony and announce it to the world.
This was also one of Spirit Hall's methods of recruiting people.
"Could this Nine-Turn Great Recovery Pill be the top-tier pill recorded in the high-martial Pill Canon? After consuming it, one can gain a hundred years of cultivation, though that naturally depends on the consumer's current internal energy."
"The stronger the person, the greater its effect. It can also cleanse one's marrow and reshape one's body, opening the Ren and Du meridians. Even someone with mediocre talent can completely transform into a peerless genius, so long as they withstand the Nine-Turn Great Recovery Pill's medicinal power."
"However, the medicinal power of the Nine-Turn Great Recovery Pill is extremely overbearing. If an ordinary person took it, they would likely explode and die on the spot."
"But now that I'm a Titled Douluo, taking this Nine-Turn Great Recovery Pill shouldn't be a problem."
Only after breaking through to the Titled realm did he realize just how difficult further advancement would be.
Even with his extraordinary talent, Soul Cores, and the Toad Breathing Method, it would take him at least around two years to advance one level.
That was still under the conditions of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, such an exceptional cultivation treasure ground.
Without some great opportunity, he might need until his thirties or forties to reach level 99, the realm of an ultimate Titled Douluo.
"So it's Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword, and Senior Bone."
"Young friend Dugu, if you don't mind, you may call me Uncle Ning. I have yet to properly thank you for saving Rongrong last time."
"It was nothing worth mentioning."
"I am Hegel, commander of the Royal Knights. Greetings, Your Excellency."
"Would Your Excellency be willing to travel with us?"
"Of course. Besides, my purpose this time is to ensure that my sister safely reaches Spirit City."
After saying that, he ignored the knight commander and directly led the Heaven Dou Royal Academy students to the other side.
"For this competition, just do your best. There's no need to fixate on winning."
Upon hearing Dugu Feng's words, Dugu Yan was the first to object.
"What are you talking about? Since we came to compete, we came for the championship. Or do you think we can't become champions? Xiaofeng, don't underestimate your sister."
"Although I'm not as monstrous as you, becoming a Titled Douluo at sixteen, I'm already a Soul King. You've told me about Spirit Hall's Golden Generation before."
"But even so, I'll defeat them. Even a Soul Emperor might not be able to withstand my poison."
"With Grandpa's help over the past few years, I've successfully condensed a Poison Pill. Although my poison isn't as potent as yours, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary Soul Kings. I refuse to believe Spirit Hall's Golden Generation can withstand my Pill Poison."
Seeing the resolute look in Dugu Yan's eyes, Dugu Feng sighed helplessly before nodding.
He knew he could not persuade Dugu Yan otherwise, so he could only keep an eye on her in secret.
After getting themselves sorted out again, the group continued onward.
Dugu Feng sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, resting.
He did not know whether Dugu Yan had done it deliberately, but she specifically arranged for Ye Lingling to ride in the same carriage as him, with only the two of them inside.
She even claimed that Ye Lingling had accidentally twisted her ankle earlier.
And needed to rest properly.
Dugu Feng was no fool. How could he not understand the little scheme his sister had in mind? A healing-type Soul Master, even if she had twisted her ankle—
Could heal herself with her Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul.
Dugu Feng glanced at Ye Lingling, whose face was slightly flushed.
From the moment she had not refused and instead chosen to ride in the same carriage as him—
Dugu Feng had vaguely guessed her feelings.
But he now longed to become stronger and had no interest in romance.
Only by becoming strong enough could he protect everything. The weak could protect nothing.
At present, his power could only guarantee his own safety.
"With my current strength, I'm definitely no match for Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu is far more than an ordinary level 99 Titled Douluo. He is the guardian of a god's inheritance."
"He can wield a portion of the Angel God's exclusive divine power. A level 99 Titled Douluo with divine power is utterly different from a level 99 Titled Douluo without it."
"Divine power and Soul Power are two completely different energy systems."
"Other than Qian Daoliu, there should currently be no one in Spirit Hall capable of threatening my life. Bibi Dong still cannot display the strength of a king, so she poses no threat."
"Other than those two, the strongest is probably Golden Crocodile Dourolu. No matter how powerful one's defense is, there will always be flaws."
Now that Dugu Feng had advanced to Titled Douluo, his poison posed a powerful threat to Titled Douluos as well.
The reason he had no confidence against Qian Daoliu was that Qian Daoliu could use divine power to drive out his poison. He knew his own limits.
Naturally, he would not use poison against Titled Douluos like Qian Daoliu, who could wield divine power.
But such people were ultimately few. Someone like Golden Crocodile Dourolu would still be harmed by his poison.
Especially his fire poison, because he had successfully condensed Soul Cores.
The fire poison produced by his poison and fire dual Soul Cores was even more powerful.
As he pondered, the carriage slowly came to a stop.
When he raised his head and looked out, he saw the three words Spirit City.
Spirit City was grand and majestic.
It was in no way inferior to Heaven Dou City.
Spirit Hall's armored patrolmen could be seen everywhere, and there were many Soul Masters here as well.
After all, this was the holy land in the hearts of Soul Masters.
"Sister Lingling, tell my sister that I need to leave for a while. Once her competition is over, I'll come back and take you all home."
Dugu Feng knew that Spirit Hall still cared greatly about its reputation. If those who came to compete met with trouble within Spirit City, Spirit Hall's reputation would certainly suffer.
If Spirit Hall truly had no shame, it would not have waited until Xiao Wu's soul beast identity was exposed before taking action.
But speaking of which, it was strange that Dugu Feng had not sensed any soul beast aura from Xiao Wu.
That was something he had not expected.
The Lovesick Heartbreak Red and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower were both in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Unless she had found a second Lovesick Heartbreak Red, or an Immortal Herb with the same effect as the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, she could not conceal Xiao Wu's soul beast aura.
