Zhao Wuji was just about to defend when—
Tang Lan's left hand lit up with his Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor, clenching from afar—
"Explode!"
Through the wound inflicted earlier by Ning Rongrong, the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor seed lurking inside Zhao Wuji's body suddenly burst into rapid growth within his bloodstream!
Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically!
An internal attack?
If he wasn't careful, this could be fatal!
He immediately channeled most of his soul power to protect his meridians and internal organs.
At the same time, he swung one bear paw toward the Thunderflame Haotian Hammer, while the other struck at Tang Lan's abdomen.
——That tiny hammer? A single hand was enough!
But.
The Thunderflame Haotian Hammer already weighed several thousand jin and was further enhanced by Sky-Shattering Strike.
Zhao Wuji's bear paw couldn't even slow it down for an instant—it was pushed back and smashed straight into his face!
Scorching flames surged!
Wild lightning erupted!
A combination of grilling and electroshock therapy, sending Zhao Wuji into a state of near-ecstasy and near-death!
"Boom—"
At the same time, Zhao Wuji's bear paw struck Tang Lan's abdomen.
Immortal Seal Technique activated, converting the already scarce soul power into his own.
The golden glow of the Indestructible Vajra Body flared up, absorbing most of the impact.
Tang Lan floated half a meter back lightly and landed safely.
"Rumble—"
Zhao Wuji was sent flying, crashing into a wooden house, completely silent.
The scene fell into absolute stillness!
Everyone stood there, dumbfounded, staring at Tang Lan—
Left hand wielding the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor, right hand gripping the Thunderflame Haotian Hammer.
Two martial souls?
Twin Spirits?!
But…
Even if he had twin spirits, he actually managed to send Zhao Wuji flying?
That was a Seven-Ring Soul Sage!
A 36-level gap!
A difference of three major ranks!
Even if Zhao Wuji underestimated him, it shouldn't have been this one-sided, right?
"Boom—"
The ruins were blasted apart.
A battered and bruised Zhao Wuji emerged, his eyes burning with fury!
Behind him, the Vigorous Vajra Bear manifested, showing signs of turning solid.
This is…
Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body?!
Oh wow.
He's really pissed now—he's about to bully a kid!
Everyone instinctively took half a step back in fear.
How the hell were they supposed to fight this?!
Only Tang Lan remained smiling, unfazed by the immense pressure, as if it were just a gentle breeze.
He pointed at the incense nearby.
"Teacher Zhao, the incense has burned out."
"If you make another move, that would be abusing your authority for personal revenge."
Zhao Wuji: ╬д╬
Zhao Wuji: (●—●)
His head stiffly turned to look at the completely burned-out incense stick.
He stood there, unable to process the situation for a long time.
They actually… passed the test?
And not by stalling for time, but by fighting him head-on multiple times?!
His chest was injured!
His clothes were torn!
His face was swollen!
Yet—
The incense was gone.
And he couldn't hit back!!!
AAAAHHHH!!!
So infuriating!!!
But Zhao Wuji was a man of his word. Gritting his teeth, he turned and walked away.
Even after he disappeared from sight, no one in the group moved.
Tang Lan's performance had been too overwhelming—they still couldn't wrap their heads around it.
Even Xiao Wu and Tang San, who knew him well, felt the same!
Ning Rongrong's brain practically short-circuited—how did Tang Lan do it?!
Meanwhile, a light slowly flickered in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
So that martial soul… was meant to be used like this?
——She recognized the Thunderflame Haotian Hammer as the fiery red dagger from that day!
So powerful!
But—
Didn't that also mean that, in the future, she could explode with such overwhelming force as well?
A Speed-type Soul Master dealing Strength-type damage?
Who could resist that temptation?!
Her gaze toward Tang Lan grew even more determined!
"Ahem!" Tang Lan broke the silence. "We passed the test. Why does everyone look so unenthusiastic?"
That one sentence snapped everyone back to reality.
"Big brother, you're amazing!" Xiao Wu cheered. "You even sent a 76th-level Soul Sage flying!"
"It was all thanks to our teamwork," Tang Lan said modestly. "And Teacher Zhao underestimated us. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been…"
So miserable.
"That's because you commanded well," Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said.
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously and affectionately took Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
——Anyone who praises my big brother is my friend!
"Tang Lan, you really are shocking," Dai Mubai said with a bitter smile. "It's one thing to be strong, but your tactics were also incredible. I'll be relying on you more in the future."
Everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their approval.
The only exception was Tang San, whose expression was somewhat unnatural—
After all, he had transmigrated, and yet... he wasn't the protagonist?
But.
In every possible aspect, Tang Lan was undeniably superior to him.

[Host has displayed exceptional performance in Shrek Academy's entrance exam, obtaining command over the Shrek Seven Devils. Successfully plundering a moderate amount of Tang San's destiny!]
[Reward: Blue Silver Domain Second Evolution – Spiritual Domain!]
In the next instant—
Tang Lan's Blue Silver Domain unfolded on its own. Countless Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground, blanketing the entire plaza.
Tang Lan could now clearly sense a new form of energy within the domain—mental power!
Just like a person's facial features, mental power also carried distinct "signatures."
Furthermore—
Even the Blue Silver Grass within the domain contributed their tiny traces of mental power, temporarily making them available for Tang Lan to use.
Defense, attack, communication—
Tang Lan directly used his mental power to link everyone present together.
「Testing, testing—can you all hear me?」
Zhu Zhuqing and the others whipped their heads toward Tang Lan in shock.
"Big Brother, did you just talk to me?" Xiao Wu asked curiously. "It felt just like when we fuse... What is this?"
"Mental power!" Tang San answered with certainty. "Brother, you're using mental power to communicate with us, aren't you?"
Tang Lan nodded.
"During the battle just now, my Blue Silver Domain underwent a second evolution, allowing me to manipulate mental power to a certain extent."
"From now on, we can discuss tactics directly on a mental level—quick, efficient, and completely secure from eavesdropping."
Everyone's eyes lit up!
This ability was incredible!
Wait!
"Domain?!" Ning Rongrong suddenly blurted out. "You've already comprehended a domain?!"
"Is a domain that special?" Tang San asked.
"Of course!" Ning Rongrong's voice rose in pitch. "Domains are classified into Innate Domains and Acquired Domains. Tang Lan, your Blue Silver Domain should be an innate one granted by your martial soul, right?"
Tang Lan nodded.
"I never expected Blue Silver Grass to have such potential…"
Ning Rongrong sighed emotionally—
"It must be related to your martial soul mutation."
"You're really lucky."
"Innate Domains aren't necessarily the strongest in combat, but they are always the most compatible with their wielder."
"In the past ten thousand years, out of the 634 recorded Title Douluo, only 54 have ever possessed a domain."
"Among them, only 14 had Innate Domains."
"And those who comprehended their domain before becoming a Title Douluo? Only 6!"
"Now do you all realize just how broken Tang Lan's Blue Silver Domain is?!"
Ning Rongrong's impromptu history lesson made everyone truly comprehend Tang Lan's monstrous talent.
They looked at him in awe and admiration.
Xiao Wu, beaming with pride, hugged Tang Lan's arm tightly—this was her brother!
The only one whose expression was hard to read was Tang San.
He also had a Blue Silver Grass martial soul…
So why couldn't he comprehend the Blue Silver Domain?!
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!
Little did he know—
His growing frustration was transmitted, without a single bit of distortion, through the mental link to Tang Lan.
To which Tang Lan responded—
