"Hehe, not bad! A single recovery and cultivation session, and you've both advanced by two stars. Congratulations!" Yao Lao chuckled, watching Mo Yu and Xiao Yan emerge from their training.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan, just coming out of his cultivation state, was momentarily stunned. Turning to look at Mo Yu, who had now reached the peak of Da Dou Shi, he shook his head and chuckled bitterly. "Some people are just too talented. Cousin Mo Yu's gifts are indeed impressive; I'm afraid it won't be long before he steps into the Dou Ling level."

Mo Yu exhaled deeply, feeling the powerful, river-like flow of dou qi within him, only a step away from breaking into the Dou Ling stage. Yet, he held back, unwilling to rush into a shaky foundation at Dou Ling.

At Xiao Yan's praise, Mo Yu chuckled, ending his own training. "You're doing pretty well yourself. Advancing to three-star Da Dou Shi so quickly—if Nalan Yanran knew, she'd likely regret her decision to break off the engagement even more."

Mo Yu understood that his recent three-star advancement was thanks to the vast amount of sealed Thunder Soul within him. Though ordinarily dormant, it became a precious resource he could tap into during critical moments, a valuable treasure indeed.

Unlike Xiao Yan, who relied on years' worth of medicinal energy to achieve his three-star Da Dou Shi breakthrough, this opportunity was truly rare.

When Nalan Yanran's name came up, Xiao Yan's face darkened momentarily. "It's a pity that despite visiting the Yun Lan Sect, my father's whereabouts…"

"Don't worry," Mo Yu comforted. "Since our clan leader's whereabouts are unknown, that at least means he's still alive. Once you and I are strong enough, we'll make sure Yun Lan Sect pays for this!"

Though Mo Yu actually knew where Xiao Zhan was, it wasn't the time to reveal it, so he held back.

"Thank you, Cousin Mo Yu." Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief, speaking gratefully.

"Haha, no need for thanks between us," Mo Yu smiled, his tone turning serious. "But we can't stay in the Jia Ma Empire anymore. Beyond Yun Lan Sect, even the mysterious Hall of Souls could put both Yao Lao and She Lao in danger."

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly. To him, Yao Lao was as important as his father, and he wouldn't allow his teacher to face any risk.

"So, Cousin Mo Yu, what's your plan?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Jia Nan Academy."

"Jia Nan Academy?" Xiao Yan echoed, quickly realizing. "So, we're headed there next…"

"Yes, we're still students there, and Teacher Ruo Lin is probably waiting for us to report in. Plus, some of our clan members are there."

As he spoke, a pair of slender, graceful legs flashed through Mo Yu's mind. It was about time to meet his fiancée. Moreover, the cultivation environment at Jia Nan Academy would allow Mo Yu to gradually absorb the immense Thunder Soul energy feed within him, giving him time to solidify his power before heading to the Central Plains.

Hearing Mo Yu's suggestion, Xiao Yan nodded in agreement; leaving Jia Ma Empire, Jia Nan Academy indeed seemed the best choice.

After making their decision, Mo Yu studied the map of Jia Ma Empire in his mind and quickly planned their route.

One Month Later – Da Ling City

Da Ling City, located in the northwest of Jia Ma Empire, sat close to the vast Magic Beast Mountain Range. This strategic location made it a hub for adventurers and merchants, filling the city with a constant flow of life.

According to the map, passing through Da Ling City and a few checkpoints along the way would bring them to the empire's border.

The journey across the Magic Beast Mountain Range over the past month had been grueling. Although the aura of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python kept ordinary beasts at bay, the vast mountain range held many powerful, fearsome creatures who weren't intimidated by the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

Thus, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan had to constantly fend off attacks. Fortunately, unlike in the original story, Mo Yu's presence had amplified the Thunder God Flame Lotus's destructive power against Yun Lan Sect.

Due to the sect's strained resources and the injuries caused by the thunder fire lotus, they sent fewer experts after Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, making their journey easier.

Moreover, in the past month, both Yao Lao's soul power and She Lao's bloodline strength had recovered significantly, giving Mo Yu and Xiao Yan valuable backup.

After one particularly intense encounter with a Dou Wang-level beast, Xiao Yan unknowingly broke through to four-star Da Dou Shi, while Mo Yu successfully advanced to the Dou Ling level.

This month had brought Mo Yu from six-star Da Dou Shi to Dou Ling—a remarkable achievement.

Even more crucially, despite the rapid progress, Mo Yu's dou qi remained solid and dense, showing no signs of instability from the fast advancements.

Estimating his current power, Mo Yu felt confident. Though only a one-star Dou Ling, he could hold his own against three- or four-star Dou Lings, and if he utilized Thunder Soul and the Heavenly Thunder Body, he could even match a five- or six-star Dou Ling.

With such strength, Mo Yu could quickly establish himself at Jia Nan Academy, known for its abundance of talented individuals.

With that thought, he felt an eager anticipation for Jia Nan Academy.

Covered in black cloaks, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan entered Da Ling City, noticing wanted posters of themselves plastered all over.

But the "Xiao Clan Twin Dragons" had become famous throughout the empire, and rumors of their feat in destroying Yun Lan Sect spread far and wide. Despite the bounty, few dared to go after them. The rewards were meaningless if one didn't live to enjoy them.

After resting in Da Ling City for three days, recharging their energy, the two set out for 'Zhen Gui Town.'

As a heavily guarded military fortress, Zhen Gui Town's defenses were impenetrable, with an army of soldiers hardened by countless battles.

This fortress would be the final barrier between Mo Yu, Xiao Yan, and freedom from Jia Ma Empire.

Yet neither Mo Yu nor Xiao Yan felt anxious. In the world of dou qi, even children knew that a Dou Huang-level expert could rival an army of ten thousand.

And Yao Lao and She Lao, though just soul forms, were comparable to two Dou Zong experts.

Such power would be unstoppable unless the Hall of Souls dispatched two of their protectors. Otherwise, no one could keep these fish from returning to the sea or dragons from soaring into the skies.

Once they crossed Zhen Gui Town, a new journey would await Mo Yu and Xiao Yan…
