"Your Majesty, when it came to inherited Martial Souls, today's Douluo Continent wasn't exactly weak!"

Atop the Divine Mountain.

Golden Crocodile Douluo watched the Sky Screen as he spoke to Feng Ji ge.

"According to the records passed down in Spirit Hall, the strongest Martial Souls on Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago were the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

"Yet neither of them made the Sky Screen's list!"

"Instead, the Godly Taotie Bull and the Bright Phoenix both have the potential to evolve into Ultimate Martial Souls. Unfortunately..."

Empress Feng Ji ge nodded.

"Unfortunately, they chose the wrong inheritors. Not only did those inheritors fail to advance their Martial Souls, they neglected their training for all sorts of reasons and never brought out their Martial Souls' true power!"

"Only that Limit Douluo woman who appeared last was worth a second glance."

"But even she was merely mediocre."

To a Quasi-God,

the gulf between a Limit Douluo and a Quasi-God was greater than the gulf between a Soul Scholar and a Limit Douluo.

If this was all the strength Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent possessed, the empire's heavenly army would face almost no resistance in unifying all of Douluo Star.

The next moment, the Sky Screen continued its ranking.

[Rank Eight: Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon, Ultimate Martial Soul.]

The name Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon left the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent puzzled.

[Yu Tianlong: What kind of Martial Soul is the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon? Could it be stronger than our Heavenly Dragon Sect's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul?] [Nan Qiuqiu: I think I've heard of it. The Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon's ancestor was a lesser dragon that existed alongside the Dragon God. It was also called the Ancestor of Lesser Dragons. Later, the Dragon God personally killed it because it was too destructive.] [He Caitou: I've heard that members of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family occasionally inherit this powerful Martial Soul.] [Bei Bei: It existed alongside the Dragon God and was the Ancestor of Lesser Dragons. No wonder it has an Ultimate Attribute!] [Du Busi: Unless your Heavenly Dragon Sect can raise its Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to the level of Ultimate Lightning, it definitely can't match the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon.]

In Mingdu, capital of the Sun Moon Empire, at Crown Prince Xu Tianran's residence.

Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair in the rear garden, gazing calmly at the words on the Sky Screen.

No one knew that the Sun Moon Empire's crown prince, who appeared to be a cripple unable to stand,

was actually a Titled Douluo. His Martial Soul was none other than the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon!

"Someone, come straighten up my appearance."

Judging by the earlier entries, before the Sky Screen assessed a Martial Soul, it usually showed a Soul Master who possessed it.

Xu Tianran summoned several maids to comb his slightly disheveled hair back into place.

But he had apparently jumped the gun.

The image on the Sky Screen changed. Instead of the crown prince's residence, it revealed an unfamiliar sect.

"Roar!"

A boy who still looked quite young threw a punch. Purple dragon-shaped energy, carrying tremendous destructive power, surged toward a metal plate a full three inches thick.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, the heavy plate shattered into pieces that scattered across the ground.

"Black Tortoise Fine Gold?!!!"

For all his self-control, Xu Tianran could not help widening his eyes.

He nearly performed a medical miracle and rose from his wheelchair.

Black Tortoise Fine Gold was an extremely rare metal that strongly resisted Soul Power.

In other words, Soul Power could barely pass through it, which gave it exceptional resistance to Soul Power and Soul Skills.

Because supplies were so scarce, only some important large Soul Tools had a thin layer of Black Tortoise Fine Gold applied to their casings to protect them from damage in battle.

Yet the sect on the Sky Screen was using Black Tortoise Fine Gold as a punching target.

Worse still, a boy who clearly looked no older than fifteen had shattered it.

The Sun Moon Empire's Chat Interface on the Sky Screen erupted in much the same way.

[Jing Hongchen: How is this possible? Black Tortoise Fine Gold is extremely difficult to damage. Even a novice Soul Engineer knows that!] [Ye Yulin: Unless they used special means, even a Soul Saint couldn't damage Black Tortoise Fine Gold in the slightest!] [Nangong Wan: A Soul Saint under fifteen? That's impossible, isn't it?] [Meng Hongchen: There's actually a Soul Master more talented than me in this world?]

By contrast, no one on the Phoenix God Continent's Chat Interface seemed impressed by the sight.

[Purple Radiance Sect Master · Long Zihuang: You little brat, you even cheated with Battle Armor during training? Don't want lunch today, is that it?] [Elephant Armor Sect Master · Huyan Zhuo: Sect Master Long's grandson truly is an outstanding young talent!] [Holy Dragon Sect Master · Tuoba Yuan: Old Long, all of Douluo Star is watching your Purple Radiance Sect live. You've got to treat us to dinner tonight, right?] [Worship Hall's Fourth Worshipper · Light Feather Douluo: Let's go to Old Jack's Dumpling House at the foot of the Divine Mountain. Their Soft Bone Rabbit dumplings are simply unmatched!]

The people of Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent stared at the long exchange, unable to make heads or tails of it.

The Purple Radiance Sect?

Was it a sect made up entirely of Soul Masters with the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Martial Soul?!

And what was this Battle Armor?

Could Battle Armor be some new kind of Soul Tool that let an ordinary boy smash Black Tortoise Fine Gold with one punch?

Just then, lines of text appeared on the Sky Screen.

[The Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon descends from the Ancestor of Lesser Dragons, which existed alongside the Dragon God, and inherited its ancestor's destructive attribute!] [Occasionally, a fortunate member of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family awakens the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Martial Soul!] [However, over the past tens of thousands of years, constant infighting within the Sun Moon Empire drove several outcast branches of the royal family to settle on the Phoenix God Continent.] [One fortunate descendant awakened the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Martial Soul and founded the Purple Radiance Sect, establishing a stable lineage for the Martial Soul.] [Believing this Martial Soul's inheritance too precious to lose, the Phoenix God bestowed a divine miracle, raising its destructive attribute to the ultimate level and making it an Ultimate Martial Soul!] [Today, the Purple Radiance Sect is the Spirit Hall Empire's largest Soul Master sect, with over a thousand disciples!] [However, because Soul Masters on Sun Moon Continent have also awakened the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Martial Soul, and its quality there is far below that on the Phoenix God Continent, this Martial Soul has been ranked one place lower!]

At Shrek Academy.

Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and the other senior figures of Shrek Academy all looked stunned.

Over a thousand?

A thousand Soul Masters with Ultimate Martial Souls?!

In Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year history, Ultimate Attributes had appeared only three times.

They were Ultimate Wind, Ultimate Fire, and Ultimate Wood!

The Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Martial Soul had an ultimate destructive attribute!

Its name alone conveyed its terrifying power to destroy!

No Ultimate Martial Soul that had ever appeared at Shrek Academy could possibly compare!

"Shrek Academy is the holy land of Soul Masters. No other power understands how to cultivate Soul Masters with Ultimate Martial Souls better than we do!"

"If we could bring the entire Purple Radiance Sect into Shrek Academy, wouldn't that..."

Xuan Zi once again lost himself in fantasy.

Meanwhile,

back at the crown prince's residence in Mingdu, Xu Tianran's expression had turned ugly.

What did it mean, ranking the Martial Soul one place lower because Soul Masters on Sun Moon Continent had also awakened the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon?

Weren't they pointing straight at him?

He was the Sun Moon Empire's crown prince, a peerless genius who had reached the Titled Douluo level by thirty.

And somehow, he had become a liability?
