After a month of relentless effort, the Shrek Seven Devils of Shrek Academy successfully reached Yu Xiaogang's goal. They became Silver Spirit Badge holders and formed a Silver Spirit Battle Team. 

Without the participation of the Emperor Team, they achieved this goal even more effortlessly. 

In a private room within the Soto Great Spirit Arena, the Shrek Seven Devils were either standing or sitting, their faces brimming with excitement. 

After all, dominating the Soto Great Spirit Arena without a single rival was undoubtedly a remarkable achievement. Their natural talents were extraordinary to begin with. 

Soon, several Shrek Academy teachers—Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Zhao Wuji—entered the room one after another. 

Seeing their teachers arrive, the Shrek Seven Devils, whether standing or sitting, all gathered together. 

"Headmaster!" 

"Master (Teacher)!" 

"Teacher Zhao!" 

After exchanging greetings, Flender was the first to speak, laughing heartily: 

"First of all, I want to congratulate you. In such a short time, you have fulfilled one of the academy's graduation requirements, becoming Silver Spirit Badge holders and forming a Silver Spirit Battle Team." 

"Little monsters, I am proud of you, and Shrek Academy is proud of you!" 

As his words fell, the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't help but smile. 

However, Flender's expression turned slightly awkward as he stepped aside and said to the group: 

"As for the upcoming arrangements, I'll leave that to the Master to explain." 

Yu Xiaogang, his expression stern and devoid of any hint of a smile, stepped forward with his hands behind his back. In a steady voice, he said: 

"You've done well. The first phase of your physical training and the second phase of your combat training have concluded perfectly. But this is far from enough. There's still the third phase—your spirit power training." 

"However, the third phase of your spirit power training will not take place here at Shrek Academy but in Heaven Dou City. There, an advanced spirit master academy whose headmaster is acquainted with Headmaster Flender will admit you." 

"The third phase of your spirit power training will involve using the resources and cultivation environment of this advanced academy to quickly improve your spirit power. The ultimate goal—" 

"—is to prepare for the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, which is just over a year away. This is a continental competition exclusively for advanced spirit master academies. It pits the best students under the age of twenty-five from each academy against one another in individual and team battles." 

"The benefits are innumerable, and I won't list them all here. My requirement for you is to win first place in your division in the next All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Tournament. Then, in the tournament after that, win first place in the overall competition. Although you won't be representing Shrek Academy, you can compete under the name of the Shrek Seven Devils and truly become the number one on the continent!" 

Flender's previously melancholic expression lightened somewhat. Shrek Academy might soon become history, but the Shrek Seven Devils were destined to shine brightly. 

For the Shrek Seven Devils present, the title of "Number One on the Continent" was undeniably thrilling. Given their ages, they could participate in at least two All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Tournaments. 

However, the mention of Heaven Dou City made them think of someone—Wang Li! 

Back when they went to the Star Dou Forest to hunt for spirit rings, they had met Wang Li in a small town a hundred miles from the forest. 

That brief encounter had left a lasting impression. Wang Li, unlike Tang San and Xiao Wu, who entered the junior spirit master academy at the same time, had continuously skipped grades. 

By their next meeting, while Tang San and Xiao Wu had only reached the twenty-ninth rank, Wang Li had already reached rank forty and was a Spirit Ancestor in the making. 

Now, the Shrek Seven Devils assumed that Wang Li was likely a full-fledged Spirit Ancestor. 

Thinking of this, the expressions of the Seven Devils became varied. Tang San's face darkened at the thought that Wang Li's Blue Silver Grass surpassed his own. Xiao Wu also looked uneasy, but her concern stemmed from the possibility of encountering Titled Douluo-level experts in Heaven Dou City. 

As for the other five members of the Seven Devils, their emotions were similarly complicated. Among their peers, only Wang Li made them feel utterly incomparable. 

Then, Ma Hongjun muttered under his breath: 

"The advanced spirit master academy in Heaven Dou City... it wouldn't happen to be Heaven Dou Royal Academy, would it?" 

Yu Xiaogang noticed that his speech not only failed to inspire the Seven Devils but also dampened their morale. His expression turned grim. Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's comment, he immediately responded: 

"Don't mention Heaven Dou City, let alone the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The headmaster of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the current Snow Night Emperor, someone not easily approachable." 

"Furthermore, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is filled with spoiled aristocrats. While the facilities are excellent, the academic atmosphere is far from ideal. I do not want you to be influenced by their habits, so we won't be going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy." 

"The academy we're heading to is called Blue Tyrant Academy. It's an advanced spirit master academy established in Heaven Dou City, with a deep foundation that is not to be underestimated. It will provide you with substantial opportunities for growth." 

At this point, Yu Xiaogang himself felt puzzled. Blue Tyrant Academy—if he didn't know it was the direct affiliate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and part of the Five Elemental Academies (specifically the Thunderclap Academy)—he might have suspected that it had some special connection to his own clan. 

Yu Xiaogang continued, "I know what you're all thinking. But let me assure you, you are no worse than anyone else. After completing my first phase of physical training and the second phase of combat training, you've developed indomitable willpower and a deep sense of camaraderie. All you're missing is the right opportunity to take flight and soar to the skies."

"Additionally, you now have a three-month break. Use this time to adjust your mental and physical states. Three months from now, we'll set off for Heaven Dou. Rest well and balance work with relaxation." 

Hearing this, the Shrek Seven Devils—except for Tang San and Xiao Wu—became visibly excited. 

Unlike Tang San and Xiao Wu, the other five weren't very familiar with Wang Li. While they felt some pressure, they didn't take it to heart. 

Only Tang San and Xiao Wu found themselves in a complicated emotional state. If they were to encounter Wang Li again, they didn't know how they would face him. 

As the break began, the Seven Devils spent their time in various ways—some went shopping, some played the role of sycophants, some indulged in the pleasure quarters, and some immersed themselves in their craft. 

The one immersed in his craft, naturally, was Tang San. He remained steadfast in his belief that the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect were unparalleled in the world. 

What was so special about a Spirit Ancestor? If he could forge the most advanced hidden weapons of the Tang Sect, he could change the world and stand at the pinnacle of the continent. 

A mere Wang Li would never be his match! 

As Tang San thought about this, his expression turned nearly maniacal. The hammer in his hand swung with even greater intensity.
