Wang Li and Dugu Yan left the Sunset Forest and began their journey eastward. They avoided main roads, choosing instead to travel through less-frequented paths, passing through remote areas that were seldom visited by people.
Because of this, the vegetation along the way was lush, especially the Blue Silver Grass, which, being a common weed across the continent, was abundant in number.
Wang Li didn't hurry as he traveled. His purpose for this journey was to use his Blue Silver Domain to gather more Blue Silver Grass and convert them into his subjects, thereby condensing their essence and elevating himself to the rank of Emperor.
Thus, he wasn't in a rush, for the journey itself was a process to enjoy, and Dugu Yan was content to follow him. Despite their hardships, such as rough traveling conditions, both of them were Soul Kings, so minor difficulties were easily overcome.
Moreover, Dugu Yan carried the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Bag, which contained various herbs, poisons, and Dugu Bo's notes on toxicology, as well as the inheritance of the Breaking One Clan. She could study these at any time, which kept her from feeling bored.
As the days passed, the two of them grew rapidly in strength. Though the conditions were tough, they both found joy in their journey.

At the same time, in Barak, Soto City:
After a three-month break, the teachers and students of Shrek Academy gathered once again and departed from Shrek City, heading toward Heaven Dou City.
As usual, there were no vehicles to transport them; instead, they traveled on foot the entire way. Their journey would take them all the way to Heaven Dou City.
They passed through the Silver Star Kingdom, and at the Silver Star Grand Soul Arena, they participated in the Soul Fighting competition once more. However, this time was different.
Instead of the usual sparring matches, they entered a life-or-death battle, choosing not to face soul master teams of the Soul Emperor level but instead selecting the notorious Fierce God Team, known for its violent reputation. This was a team made up entirely of Soul Elders.
At this moment, the Shrek team consisted of four Soul Emperors—Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu—and three Great Soul Masters—Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.
This team was aiming to challenge a full team of Soul Elders, and no one was optimistic about their chances.
However, in the Grand Soul Arena, the Shrek Seven Monsters, using the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, instantly wiped out the entire Fierce God Team. Blood stained the arena floor.
The seven members of the Fierce God Team were all left in varying degrees of shock, but Tang San was exhilarated. In his heart, he thought, This is the true power of Tang Sect hidden weapons.
In his past life, a hundred Tang Sect outer disciples, armed with the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, had wiped out a group of powerful experts from an attacking sect.
At the same time, Flender and the teachers of Shrek Academy had made a considerable profit from this match. They left the arena in high spirits, having filled their coffers.
After a brief rest, they resumed their journey. It took some time, but they finally entered the Dio Kingdom and, soon after, arrived at Heaven Dou City.
This time, however, they didn't go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Instead, they found their way to the Blue Tyrant Academy.
In a reunion of the former Golden Iron Triangle, Yu Xiaogang was enraged upon meeting Flender, accusing him of deceiving him. He even made moves to leave.
But Flender persuaded him to stay, reminding him that he should think of the young monsters in their academy as well. Eventually, Yu Xiaogang sighed and reluctantly agreed to stay.
When Flender saw Yu Xiaogang, he realized that the Blue Tyrant Academy was now his, as Yu Xiaogang had essentially transferred the academy, including all teachers, students, and resources, to Flender.
It seemed that everything had come full circle, with Shrek Academy taking over the best cultivation resources and environments. However, Tang San no longer had access to the immortal herbs, and neither did the other six members of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
Meanwhile, Wang Li and Dugu Yan were still traveling through unknown deep forests and mountains. As for Dugu Bo, he was in seclusion, focused on breaking through to the 95th-level Soul Power and had no time to venture outside.
Back at Shrek, Tyron, the former top student of Blue Tyrant Academy, saw Xiao Wu and was instantly taken by her beauty. He began showering her with attention.
Xiao Wu, not interested in Tyron, devised a plan and suggested that he duel with Tang San. If he won, she'd consider giving him a chance.
Tyron, overjoyed by the suggestion, eagerly accepted. Tang San, however, was none too pleased with Tyron's interest in Xiao Wu. Though Tyron's soul power was higher than Tang San's, the battle quickly turned in Tang San's favor as he used all manner of techniques to defeat Tyron.
Tyron hailed from the Power of One Clan, a family known for fiercely protecting its own. After Tyron's defeat, his father, Tyron Senior, personally came to the academy.
Though Tyron's soul power was a few levels above Tang San's, he was only a Soul Elder. In contrast, Tyron Senior was a true Soul King, and his strength was even more terrifying as he was a power-type Soul King, with all his soul rings enhancing his physical power. In a pure contest of strength, Tyron Senior could rival Soul Emperors or even Soul Sages.
As for Tang San, his soul power had only reached the 33rd level. Though he had numerous techniques and external soul bones like the Eight Spider Lances, these were enough to allow him to fight against Soul Elders, but not Soul Kings.
Facing Tyron, a Soul King with extreme power, there was no comparison in terms of raw strength.
Tyron wanted to teach Tang San a lesson and help his son, Tyron Junior, vent his frustration. But Tang San was no ordinary person—he would not take this insult lying down. With weapons ranging from the massive Zhuge Divine Crossbow to the silent sleeve darts, as well as various hidden weapons like the Dragon Beard Needles, Willow Leaf Darts, and Bone-Piercing Nails, Tang San unleashed everything he had on Tyron.
Tyron's Martial Soul was the Mighty Gorilla, granting him immense strength and defense. Though the hidden weapons left him covered in wounds, they weren't enough to claim his life. However, they did manage to enrage him completely. A Soul Elder forcing him into such a situation was unacceptable. After hesitating for a moment, Tyron activated his soul skills and charged forward.
Once the two were close, Tang San quickly launched his Eight Spider Lances. At the cost of enduring a heavy blow, he drove all eight spider legs into Tyron's body. He unleashed the poison of the Man-faced Demon Spider, while simultaneously using his Devouring ability to absorb soul power and recover as quickly as possible.
This was Tang San's first time experiencing such a sensation. The tremendous pressure, combined with Tyron's soul power, forced him to break through his current limits, advancing to the 34th level of Soul Power.
The price was steep—Tang San was severely injured, the Eight Spider Lances were shattered, and his own bones and meridians were nearly torn apart. He collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
However, Tyron, due to the poison from the Man-faced Demon Spider, also turned pale, his once towering body swaying unsteadily. Eventually, he collapsed as well.
Tang San was carried away by Xiao Wu, while Tyron was taken away by Tyron Junior.
---
At Shrek Academy, upon seeing Tang San pale, with his eyes tightly shut and lying motionless on the bed, Yu Xiaogang nearly went mad. He didn't know how to explain things to Tang Hao, nor did he know who could help him validate his theories if something were to happen to Tang San.
---
In the Power of One Clan, Titan, the current clan leader, was enraged when he saw his son poisoned and gravely wounded. He immediately ordered Tyron to be carried to Shrek Academy and summoned Tyron Junior to join him.
It was clear—both sides were burning with fury.
