In the soul master community of the Heaven Dou Empire, the highest authority is held by the top three sects.

Inside the grand hall of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect, the direct descendants are gathered together, and the topic of discussion is none other than Wang Li's victory over the president of Thunder Academy.

An elderly man, dressed in luxurious robes, with white hair and a sharp, piercing gaze that seemed as intense as a thunderbolt, stood up. He spoke to the other elder sitting in the seat of honor: 

"Brother, this matter cannot be left unresolved. That Wang Li went to Thunder Academy to challenge my son, even defeating him and causing the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon's reputation to be shattered. This is a blatant provocation."

"If we don't respond, how will the soul masters across the continent view us? Can it be that the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon martial soul is weaker than the Blue Silver Grass martial soul?"

"We must capture Wang Li and, even if we don't punish him severely, he should still suffer the pain of the Thunder Devouring Body. He must be interrogated to discover what treacherous methods he used to defeat an eighty-level Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon martial soul with a mere sixty-level Blue Silver Grass martial soul."

The speaker was none other than Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect and the younger brother of the current sect leader, Yu Yuanzhen.

The elder sitting at the head of the table, who emanated an unspoken authority and seemed like a true dragon waiting in ambush, was the current sect leader, Yu Yuanzhen—a Titled Douluo with a soul power level of ninety-five.

The direct descendants gathered at the meeting were primarily their offspring—Yu Minghao, Yu Mingsheng, Yu Tianheng, and Yu Tianxin.

Among them, Yu Mingsheng was the one who had been defeated by Wang Li, the president of Thunder Academy.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng spoke up:

"Grandfather, Second Uncle, actually, when Wang Li went to challenge, he was very polite and not aggressive. After defeating Uncle, he immediately helped him recover. If we take action against him now, it may only lead to us being mocked."

Yu Luomian glanced over. His desire to capture Wang Li and preserve the reputation of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect was just an excuse—what truly intrigued him was the secret that Wang Li seemed to possess. How could a low-level, trash martial soul soul master defeat a high-level, top-tier martial soul soul master? This secret was certainly of great significance, and even he could not resist the temptation to uncover it.

He was unable to surpass his older brother, so he could only remain the second-in-command of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect. But his son, Yu Mingsheng, was no less talented than his older brother's son, Yu Minghao. However, because of their status differences, Yu Mingsheng was only in charge of Thunder Academy, the sect's subsidiary.

As time passed and each generation had its own children, his older brother's grandson, Yu Tianheng, grew stronger than his own grandson, Yu Tianxin.

Yu Luomian knew that if he didn't act soon, all his descendants would fall behind those of his older brother.

This opportunity, he could not afford to miss:

"Tianheng, how can you speak in favor of an outsider? Your own flesh-and-blood uncle was defeated by him. I understand that he's a teammate in your battle team, and you regard him as a friend."

"However, to maintain the sect's reputation, we must not hesitate. We cannot let personal feelings cloud our judgment."

Yu Tianheng opened his mouth to speak. He wanted to say that he only saw Wang Li as a necessary opponent to defeat. However, his thoughts shifted to the Explosive Burning Flame right arm.

He had to admit that he owed Wang Li a debt of gratitude. It was this soul bone that added the explosive attribute to his Thunder abilities, nearly doubling his strength.

But thinking about Wang Li's increased strength, Yu Tianheng felt deeply unsettled. The opponent he had once wanted to defeat could now take on Titled Douluo-level experts. In the end, he still spoke:

"Grandfather, Second Uncle, I am already a Soul Master with level forty-nine. I will soon break through to level fifty. Once I become a Soul King and gain the Explosive Burning Flame right arm, I will challenge Wang Li. Even if I have to risk my life, I will defeat him."

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused the people in the room to exchange glances. Was he truly foolish, or was he pretending to be? How could a Soul King possibly defeat Wang Li, a man who could even defeat Titled Douluo-level soul masters? Was he stalling for time?

However, Yu Yuanzhen was quite pleased. From Yu Tianheng, he saw the potential of another future Titled Douluo of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect.

His younger brother, Yu Luomian, though already a high-ranking Soul Douluo, was too calculating, lacking the drive to make a decisive push. With such a mindset, he could never reach the level of a Titled Douluo in the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect.

On the other hand, Yu Tianheng seemed more promising—stubborn, capable of fighting, and fearless. Even at a young age, he already possessed a soul bone, which gave him a significant advantage.

Immediately, Yu Yuanzhen laughed heartily and said:

"Tianheng, I'm not trying to dampen your courage. Right now, you're still a little short of the mark. Just focus on your training. As for Wang Li..."

"He has already given you a soul bone, the most suitable one for you, as a reward for the Soul Master Competition. Your grandfather will not make things difficult for you. Now, you can make an official declaration."

"Our Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect has countless strong soul masters, and we have more than one Soul Douluo. We welcome Wang Li to challenge us. If he can defeat all our Soul Douluo, I will consider sparring with him myself."

"We are not afraid of that old poisoner. It's just that our Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon soul masters have their pride and sharpness. With our Dragon Transformation soul skill and control over lightning, we will surely dominate the Douluo Continent."

Yu Luomian was stunned. He immediately wanted to stop his brother:

"Brother, if we don't seek him out, he won't dare come to us. Even if Wang Li dares to come, we don't know when it will be."

Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Luomian and said:

"Second brother, stop always thinking about using force against the weak. You need to focus on honing your Dragon Transformation soul skill and lightning control. Whenever Wang Li comes, we will defeat him honorably. This is the best way to maintain the reputation of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect."

Yu Luomian lowered his head in frustration:

"Alright, brother!"

...

Yu Yuanzhen, the Titled Douluo, had made a public declaration, and without a doubt, another storm was about to sweep across the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

*Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect*

Ning Fengzhi sighed deeply, regretting his earlier misjudgment. Three or four years ago, when he first met Wang Li, he had believed that Wang Li would one day reach the level of Soul Saint and possibly challenge the realm of Soul Douluo.

Yet now, at such a young age, Wang Li had already become a Soul Emperor. Not only that, but he was able to defeat Soul Douluo-level experts.

This was clearly the potential of a Titled Douluo. Even though Wang Li possessed the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, perhaps one day there would be a Titled Douluo with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Such a person—someone with extraordinary potential—was not under their control. It was truly a great pity. Ning Fengzhi looked at Chenxin and Gu Rong, smiling bitterly as he said:

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, Lord Bislon makes even me jealous. He has such an outstanding grandson-in-law, and his granddaughter's talent is not low either. She will at least become a Soul Douluo, and perhaps even a Titled Douluo. A family with three Titled Douluos—luckily, they don't have any powerful backing."

Chenxin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance. A family with three Titled Douluos—this was more than enough to overshadow their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Chenxin was straightforward, while Gu Rong was known for his cunning nature:

"Sect Master, should we take any action?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, his hands behind his back as he calmly replied:

"What more can we do when dealing with such a figure? Of course, we should invite him to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. That old dragon from the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect, while not adept at scheming, has always been meticulous in his actions."

"We, too, will make our invitation clear and openly invite Wang Li to be a guest. In truth, our relationship with Wang Li is not bad, but it will require extra effort to maintain that bond in the future."

"Actually, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, we should also be preparing a few protectors for Rongrong. The stronger the battle soul masters, the more significantly their enhancement will be when they gain the boost from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Once Rongrong comes of age, we can designate her as the sect's heir, and then choose a husband for her from the protectors."

Chenxin and Gu Rong understood Ning Fengzhi's concerns. They could not protect Ning Rongrong forever; she would need her own guardians.

Chenxin spoke first:

"Talent is secondary; what matters is her character. She must be loyal to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and to Rongrong."

Gu Rong followed up:

"At the very least, they must have better talent than Wang Li. If a Blue Silver Grass martial soul can be cultivated to this level, I refuse to believe there's no better martial soul out there. Under my training, I'm sure it can surpass all limits."

Ning Fengzhi's expression grew complicated. He thought to himself that on the continent, there were probably very few who could match Wang Li.

However, it might be for the best. Let Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu filter out those with insufficient talent or weak resolve. Only the most qualified would remain and deserve the full support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

...

Ning Fengzhi's attitude toward Wang Li made it clear to the Heaven Dou soul master community just how far Wang Li's influence stretched. Many senior figures were left in awe.

The last time the soul master community had been this stirred up was probably decades ago, when Haotian Sect's Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, the two brothers, made their entrance. With their twin Haotian hammers, they dominated the Douluo Continent.

The brothers built an enormous reputation and were even hailed as the future pillars of Haotian Sect.

But now, Haotian Sect had faded into the background, and Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had not been heard from in decades.

Now, Wang Li, in some ways, outshone the brothers, as he was a Soul Emperor. In comparison, both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had been Soul Saints in their prime.

As many awaited Wang Li's response to the invitations from the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, news spread across the borderlands of two great empires. Wang Li had successfully challenged and defeated the renowned Dragon Duke Meng Shu and the Serpent Empress Chao Tianxiang, two famous figures in the soul master world.

The Dragon-Snake couple, known for their powerful martial soul fusion skill, the Dragon-Snake Combination, were said to be capable of rivaling the attack power of a Titled Douluo. For such a formidable couple to be defeated by Wang Li raised the question: where exactly was his limit?

As the news spread, Wang Li's name resonated throughout the continent. Some even began to claim he was destined to become a Titled Douluo in the future. Many sought to challenge him, but his movements were elusive. He would only seek out renowned Soul Douluo to challenge, and the Soul Douluo of the continent began to feel an immense sense of pressure.

They feared his arrival but also feared his absence.

If Wang Li came, it was just one battle. Winning would cement his fame, while losing would mean he wasn't the only one to be defeated. However, if Wang Li did not come at all, that would be even worse. If no one was worthy of challenging him, could a soul master still be considered a prominent figure?

Well-known sects across the continent, such as the Holy Dragon Sect, Wind Sword Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, and Rock Sheep Sect, all set up challenges and awaited Wang Li's visit. They prepared and gathered intelligence on him, knowing that a victory would bring immense fame. Even in defeat, no one would be in a position to mock anyone else.

...

Eight months later, Wang Li's fame had spread throughout the continent. He had cleared the Five Elements Academy, the Lower Four Sects, and defeated countless powerful figures from prestigious families and hidden experts. With these victories, he was recognized as the strongest soul master beneath the Titled Douluo level.

This title had been validated by numerous Soul Douluo, and whether one accepted it or not, it was undeniable. No one could challenge that claim without losing face.

At this time, Wang Li and Dugu Yan were on their way back to the Heaven Dou Empire. Wang Li activated his Blue Silver Domain, hiding his presence completely. Despite all the time spent and the countless soul masters who tried to track him, no one had been able to pinpoint his exact location. This was all thanks to his Blue Silver Domain, which allowed him to blend in like ordinary Blue Silver Grass by the roadside.

Wang Li spoke to Dugu Yan:

"I suppose this counts as traveling across the continent, but I've made you hide our tracks the whole time. I know it hasn't been easy, especially since we couldn't do anything openly."

Dugu Yan shook her head, then proudly replied:

"It's fine. After all, I've witnessed the rise of the strongest soul master beneath the Titled Douluo. But now, are you really going to the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Those are two of the top three sects, with Titled Douluo overseeing them."

Wang Li smiled:

"They've already invited me, so I'll naturally go meet them. Once I've dealt with them, I'll retreat for a while. I'm confident I can break through to the Soul Douluo level soon. After that, I'll head to the Great Snow Mountain in the Extreme North."

"But before that, I'll pass through the Fasno Province. I want to see my old village, or else I won't know when I'll be able to come back again."

Dugu Yan hooked her arm around his, smiling gently:

"I'll go with you."

The two walked side by side, enjoying each other's company.

...

Waterfall Valley!

It seemed as if a black dragon had emerged, causing the waterfall to flow backward. Countless water droplets splashed into the air, glowing in the mist.

When everything settled, Tang San, holding the Haotian Hammer, landed on a large stone. Though breathing heavily, he was clearly thrilled.

He had succeeded; his Chaotic Wind Hammer Method had reached its pinnacle, and he had unleashed a strike powerful enough to reverse the waterfall's flow.

On the shore, Tang Hao smiled in satisfaction, but soon his smile faded. He spoke calmly:

"Not bad. In just two years, you've mastered the Chaotic Wind Hammer Method and brought it to its peak. You've also reached the 50th level of soul power. Breaking through this level at just over 17 years old is exactly what I expected."

Tang San, hearing this, was incredibly excited. He hopped onto the shore and said:

"Father, can I go hunt soul beasts to get my fifth spirit ring? And can I visit Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Forest?"

Tang Hao nodded:

"Yes, but obtaining a spirit ring doesn't necessarily mean you have to hunt soul beasts. Get ready; we'll set off tomorrow."

"I'll take you to get your spirit ring, then we'll head to the Star Dou Forest. After you meet Xiao Wu, I'll take you to the next training location. Once you return from there, you'll be able to travel the continent on your own."

Tang San was elated:

"Okay, Father."
