Huo Lei and Jin Shan arrived at Holy Soul Village

Huo Lei and Xie Chong split up; the former went to Sunset Forest to search for Soul Bone, while the latter was busy with matters related to the new academy.

Huo Lei and his teacher Jin Shan searched for five days in Sunset Forest and finally obtained two Soul Bone as they wished. One of them was the Right Arm Bone produced by the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King, who had cultivated for 70,000 years; the other was the Head Soul Bone produced by the Lie Yan Demon Bat King had cultivated for 60,000 years.

Jin Shan was overjoyed when the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King dropped his Right Arm Bone. After absorbing the Right Arm Bone, Jin Shan successfully gained a skill called ' White-Eyed Demon Tiger King Through the Tiger Roars in the Mountain Forest '.

At the same time, Jin Shan, whose cultivation level had already reached the required standard but whose Soul Power was insufficient, successfully broke through to level ninety-seven Super Douluo with the support of the Soul Power energy provided by the Soul Bone.

The skill ' Tiger Roars in the Mountain Forest ' is powerful, not only possessing physical attack effects but also inflicting mental shock, which can shatter fighting spirit and tear apart the field.

The construction of the new academy is progressing smoothly. After communicating with the person in charge of Heaven Dou City, Xie Chong successfully acquired the land next to the Shrek Academy. Although the land area is not large, it has met Huo Lei's initial requirements.

Huo Lei drafted the blueprints for the new academy in three days; Xie Chong gathered a large number of craftsmen in Heaven Dou City, and after everything was ready, construction of the new academy officially began.

After leaving Xie Chong with several Gold Soul Card, Huo Lei left Heaven Dou City with his teacher Jin Shan and returned to the Blazing Fire Academy.

Back at the academy, Huo Lei arranged for several Soul Master to go to Heaven Dou City to support Xie Chong, including Lin Yin.

Huo Lei gave the Skull of the Lie Yan Demon Bat to his father, Huo Feng. When Huo Feng received the Head Soul Bone, he was overwhelmed with emotion. Although he already possessed three ten -Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, the Lie Yan Demon Bat's Skull was the oldest, a full sixty thousand years old. Huo Feng was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

Huo Feng's Soul Power Level had already reached the peak of Level 88. After absorbing the Skull the Lie Yan Demon Bat, his Soul Power directly increased by one level, reaching the peak of level 89, and he was only one step away from Level 90.

In the following months, Huo Lei and the others cultivated in peace. Perhaps because the Spirit Hall was about to make a big move, they did not harass Blazing Fire Academy and the other elemental academies during these months.

In less than six months, the new academy in Heaven Dou City was completed and entered the decoration stage, which greatly surprised Huo Lei.

With the completion of the new academy's construction, Huo Lei assigned Lin Yin a new task: to stake out Tang San near the Moonlight Pavilion in order to find out Tang Hao's exact location.

Time flies like an arrow, Sun Moon.

In the blink of an eye, nearly five years have passed since the Soul Master Tournament.

"You brat, you've only been behaving yourself for a few months, and you're up to your old tricks again. Where are you taking your master this time? You're not going to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for Soul Bone, are you?" Jin Shan asked Huo Lei beside him, irritably as he rode his horse.

Huo Lei urged his horse forward, saying mysteriously, "We are indeed looking for Soul Bone, but not in the Star Dou Great Forest. This time, we're going to a place where it's even easier to obtain Soul Bone than in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Jin Shan said irritably, "You little rascal, always so mysterious, playing riddles with your master."

Huo Lei said, "I don't know the exact location either. I've already sent Lin Yin to scout it out. We can just go to a village and wait for news! Master, you can rest assured that you'll be fine with me."

Jin Shan laughed heartily on horseback, exclaiming, "Hahaha! That's true. I don't know what good fortune you've had, but every time I go out with you, we always come back with quite a bit of success. I really admire you for that."

Huo Lei bluntly asked, "Then why do you always seem so reluctant when you go out?"

Jin Shan was momentarily speechless at the question, then said irritably, "You brat, how could I be unwilling? You know my temper; I was just trying to lighten the mood."

Jin Shan had no choice but to offer a forced explanation.

Huo Lei smiled helplessly, "Teacher, your way of livening up the atmosphere is a bit too unique; people who don't know it really can't tell the difference."

Jin Shan forcefully argued, "That's called individuality, you know? Everyone who can become Titled Douluo has their own individuality."

"Alright, alright! That's a unique style! Giddy up!" Huo Lei nodded with a helpless smile, urged his horse forward, and galloped ahead quickly.

"Giddy up!" Jin Shan looked at Huo Lei's retreating figure with a smug expression, then shouted and spurred his horse to chase after Huo Lei.

Several days later, Huo Lei and Jin Shan arrived at Holy Soul Village, Nuoding City, in the Fasinuo Province of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Holy Soul Village is a small village with only over three hundred households, located in the southwestern part of the Heaven Dou Empire Balak Kingdom and the Star Luo Empire.

"You brat, are you kidding me? What are you doing in this run-down village?" Jin Shan walked through the village, leading his horse with his right hand, and looked at Huo Lei walking beside him with a puzzled expression.

While leading the horse, Huo Lei said, "Master, through my investigation, I have learned that the renowned Clear Sky Douluo once lived in seclusion in this Holy Soul Village."

"Oh? You mean Tang Hao lived in seclusion here back then? What does that have to do with our search for the Soul Bone?" Jin Shan looked at Huo Lei with suspicion.

Huo Lei calmly replied, "Of course there's a connection. Tang Hao is so strong, he must possess Soul Bone."

"You brat, are you crazy? You want to take Soul Bone from Tang Hao? You've got some nerve! Tang Hao isn't someone you can easily deal with. Back in Spirit City, he single-handedly took on seven Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall and escaped unscathed. You were there too. You're looking for trouble, dragging your master into it. Even now that I've broken through to level 97, I might not be a match for Tang Hao." Jin Shan stared wide-eyed in shock, looking at his disciple with disbelief.

Huo Lei deliberately said sarcastically, "I thought you were fearless, teacher, but I never expected you to have moments of fear too."

Jin Shan retorted irritably, "I'm not afraid of you! I'm not afraid of him at all, but I don't think it's necessary. Five years ago, Tang Hao had already reached level 95 when he saved people in Spirit City. Five years have passed, hasn't he improved at all? If he breaks through to level 96, even if I'm one level higher than him, I'm not confident of defeating him. It's not worth fighting to the death and offending such a powerful opponent for the sake of Soul Bone."

"Teacher, your analysis is correct. But you overlooked a very important point, and that is me. Do you think I don't understand what you just said? Do you think I would be foolish enough to take such a risk? In all the years we've known each other, when have I ever done anything without being sure of success?" Huo Lei bombarded Jin Shan with a series of probing questions.

"This...! Since we met, you have never done anything to suffer a loss, but this time I can't understand, where do you get the confidence to kill Tang Hao?" Jin Shan hesitated for a moment after hearing Huo Lei's words, but was still full of confusion.

Huo Lei found a rock at the entrance of Holy Soul Village, sat down, and looked at Jin Shan, saying, "Let's rest at the village entrance for a while! You'll understand once Lin Yin brings back the message."

"I'd like to see what tricks you're up to," Jin Shan muttered, then sat down next to Huo Lei.
