After descending the mountain, Dugu Yan pulled Wang Li to the side, carefully inspecting him. Once she confirmed that he wasn't injured, she exclaimed with a mix of surprise and excitement: 

"Xiao Li, Hu Yanzhen is a Soul Douluo, possessing the Diamond Mammoth, a top-tier martial soul. His strength and defense are nearly at the level of a Titled Douluo. I thought you wouldn't lose against him, but I never expected you'd actually win!" 

Wang Li smiled faintly. At full strength, he could now take on a Titled Douluo head-on. Compared to that, Hu Yanzhen—who was merely close to the level of a Titled Douluo—was no real challenge. 

He replied, "If it had been before, it might've been troublesome. But now that I've condensed my soul core, both my soul power burst speed and recovery rate have improved significantly. That made the fight much easier." 

Dugu Yan was astonished. "I didn't realize a soul core was this powerful!" 

Wang Li nodded and explained, "In a way, the soul core functions similarly to a Dan Bead. I was able to condense mine after obtaining my seventh soul ring, by refining and purifying my soul power through my martial soul." 

"By utilizing the cyclone principle, I compressed my soul power, transforming it from a liquid state to a solid state—thus forming my soul core. You could try it in the future as well. If you manage to refine a powerful Dan Bead, it might even be called a Dragon Pearl." 

Since Wang Li held nothing back when teaching Dugu Yan, she took his words to heart. The mention of the Dragon Pearl stuck with her, and she immediately clung to his arm, curiously asking, "That'll have to wait until I become a Soul Sage, but for now, where do you want to go next?" 

Recalling what Hu Yanzhen had said, Wang Li pondered for a moment before smiling. 

"Next, I plan to conquer the Four Elements Academies—Divine Wind Academy, Chihuo Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Leiting Academy—by challenging their headmasters." 

Dugu Yan had no objections.

Half a Month Later – Divine Wind Academy 

Facing Feng Xiaotian, his father, and his grandfather, Wang Li spoke calmly and confidently: 

"Ever since I left seclusion, I've sought to challenge strong opponents at the Soul Emperor level, honing my combat experience. With that in mind, my first stop was Elephant Armored Sect." 

"Master Hu Yan is a truly kind and approachable elder. Upon hearing my challenge, he generously sent his son to fight me so I could witness the power of the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul firsthand." 

"We fought fiercely, yet we were still unsatisfied. In the end, Master Hu Yan himself stepped in, personally guiding me in battle. That experience was invaluable to me." 

"Today, I've come to Divine Wind Academy, hoping that Elder Feng would also be willing to offer me a lesson through battle!" 

At this point, Feng Xiaotian could no longer hold back. 

"Wait… how much time has even passed? You're already above level 60, a Soul Emperor?!" 

Wang Li merely smiled and nodded. 

Feng Xiaotian instantly felt immense pressure. Like Wang Li, he also possessed a mutated martial soul, the Stromwind Twin-Headed Wolf, and was born with innate full soul power. After the Soul Master Tournament, he had been diligently working toward breaking through level 50 to become a Soul King. 

Yet now, Wang Li had already reached level 60 and become a Soul Emperor. 

Feng Xiaotian's grandfather stroked his beard, his eyes filled with surprise. Something felt off about Wang Li's story. 

Was the Hu Yanzhen in Wang Li's account really the same Hu Yanzhen he knew? 

A kind and approachable elder? 

That guy?! 

However, since Wang Li had spoken so openly, there was no way he could refuse the challenge. With a chuckle, he replied, 

"As expected of the Soul Master Tournament Champion, truly a prodigy. Poison Douluo has certainly trained an outstanding successor. Since even Hu Yanzhen has battled you, it would be improper for me to decline. Come with me—to the forest behind the academy!" 

Wang Li was overjoyed and brought Dugu Yan along as they followed Feng Xiaotian's grandfather, his father, and Feng Xiaotian himself into the academy's backwoods. 

Feng Xiaotian's grandfather did not possess a mutated martial soul like his grandson but instead had a normal martial soul—the Stromwind Demon Wolf. 

His soul ring configuration consisted of two yellow, three purple, and three black rings—not even the optimal setup. 

Despite being a Soul Douluo, he struggled immensely in battle against Wang Li. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't gain an advantage. 

At that moment, he realized a critical issue. 

Wang Li had mentioned fighting Hu Yanzhen, but he never said who won. 

Normally, it should be obvious—a Soul Emperor going up against a Soul Douluo should result in an easy victory for the Soul Douluo. 

But now… it wasn't so clear. 

Feeling pressured, Feng Xiaotian's grandfather decided to stop holding back. 

He unleashed his Seventh Soul Skill—Demon Wolf True Form and immediately followed with his Eighth Soul Skill—Stromwind Demon Wolf Slash. 

Before him, his massive Demon Wolf avatar loomed large. 

Eight ten-meter-long wind blades howled through the air like the cries of tormented spirits, unleashing a terrifying assault. 

Wang Li's Victory Over the Thunder Academy 

Wang Li wielded his Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Spear, using offense as defense. For every Blue Silver Vine that emerged, an equally massive Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Spear followed—each as thick as an adult's thigh, radiating a deep emerald glow. 

With a single thought, Wang Li sent them all hurtling through the air. The overwhelming force swept across the battlefield like a tidal wave, breaking apart the Demon Wolf True Form and Stromwind Demon Wolf Slash in an instant. 

As the dust settled, Feng Xiaotian's grandfather lay on the ground, staring up at the sky. At that moment, he couldn't help but think—the sky is truly blue today. 

Wang Li quickly approached, treating his injuries before helping him to his feet. 

"Elder Feng, are you alright?" Wang Li asked respectfully. "Thank you for your guidance—I've learned a great deal from this battle!" 

Feng Xiaotian's grandfather let out a long sigh before asking, "Wang Li, I'll ask you just one thing—when you fought Hu Yanzhen, who won?" 

Wang Li smiled and replied, "I did." 

Hearing this, the old man nodded in satisfaction. "Good, good… As long as you won. I truly am getting old. The future belongs to your generation now." 

With his objective accomplished, Wang Li bid farewell and departed without delay. 

After he left, Feng Xiaotian's grandfather turned to his son and grandson and ordered: 

"Seal the news of my defeat. Keep it hidden for as long as possible. If word spreads, others will start preparing against him." 

Both Feng Xiaotian's father and Feng Xiaotian responded immediately: 

"Understood, Father (Grandfather)!"

One Month Later – Blazing Fire Academy 

Wang Li challenged the Blazing Fire Academy Headmaster—and won! 

One and a Half Months Later – Tianshui Academy 

Wang Li challenged the Tianshui Academy Headmaster—and won! 

Two Months Later – Thunder Academy 

Wang Li challenged the Thunder Academy Headmaster—and won! 

However, it's worth mentioning that the headmaster of Thunder Academy was none other than Yu Tianxin's father, the son of Yu Luomian, and one of the three great Soul Douluos of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. 

His power was truly terrifying—a Soul Douluo with eight soul rings, whose body had nearly fully dragonized. Both his arms and legs had transformed into dragon claws, his torso into dragon scales, and even wings had sprouted from his back. The only thing missing was a dragon's head. 

If he broke through to Titled Douluo, his head would fully dragonize, making him practically indistinguishable from a human-shaped soul beast. 

Wang Li had to go all out and use every trick at his disposal to finally secure victory. 

By this time, Wang Li's achievements could no longer be kept secret. 

In just three months, he had successively defeated: 

- Hu Yanzhen of the Elephant Armored Sect 

- The Headmaster of Divine Wind Academy 

- The Headmaster of Blazing Fire Academy 

- The Headmaster of Tianshui Academy 

- The Headmaster of Thunder Academy 

He had conquered all Five Elemental Academies, sending shockwaves through the Soul Master world of the Heaven Dou Empire. 

A mere Soul Emperor defeating five Soul Douluo—this was a feat worthy of a future Titled Douluo. 

His strength was terrifying beyond words! 

Countless people admired him, while just as many grew envious. 

The secret behind how a Soul Emperor could defeat a Soul Douluo—if someone could uncover it, they might just become the next Wang Li.
