On the wide road, a thousand-man contingent marched grandly and slowly forward.
At this speed, it would take a full twenty days to travel from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City.
To allow the participating members to get better rest during this period, the Heaven Dou Empire specially prepared a luxury carriage for each team.
The carriages utilized certain Soul tool technology, ensuring not only a smooth ride but also a vast interior space that could easily accommodate eleven or twelve people resting at once.
The Shui Binger sisters, Feng Xiaotian, and Yu Tianxin arrived at the Heaven Dou Team's carriage to find Yang Yuan, as if they had made an appointment.
Clearly, they did not want to waste these twenty days.
"Brother Yang Yuan, please give us some guidance; we really want to improve."
Shui Yueer looked at Yang Yuan expectantly; although she was older than him, calling him 'Brother' didn't feel out of place at all.
She held a Gold card in both hands, her expression full of sincerity.
Yang Yuan glanced at the Gold card in her hand, shook his head, and smiled. "I've already planned the general direction for you. As for other aspects, there's no room to demonstrate in this carriage, so there's not much I can teach you."
"Of course, if it's just a few pointers, that's fine. As for this, it's not necessary."
After saying that, he pushed Shui Yueer's hand back, not accepting the Gold card.
"Thank you, Brother Yang Yuan. Brother Yang Yuan, you're so kind!"
Shui Yueer giggled, her eyes blinking.
Smiles appeared on the faces of the others as well.
They had come to the right place this time.
Yang Yuan then gave each of them a few pointers. While the results might not have been extraordinary, they were still somewhat helpful.
A few minutes later, after Yang Yuan finished his pointers, Shui Binger, Shui Yueer, and the others didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately, instead starting to chat.
Although the carriage felt a bit crowded with so many people, the atmosphere was pleasant, and everyone spoke freely.
Halfway through the conversation, Feng Xiaotian brought up Shrek Academy, his face full of envy.
"Shrek's luck is really good. I wonder where they got so many treasures to increase spirit power."
"If only I could encounter some Spirit Medicine, then I might not have necessarily lost to Shrek in the Promotion Round."
The Shui Binger sisters nodded, their faces also showing expressions of envy.
Seeing this, Yang Yuan smiled. "No need to envy them. This might not necessarily be a good thing for them."
Hearing this, looks of surprise flashed across their faces.
From Yang Yuan's words, could it be that the treasures the Shrek Academy members used to increase their spirit power had side effects?
Yu Tianxin immediately thought of Yu Tianheng, his brow furrowing instinctively.
Although he didn't get along well with Yu Tianheng, they were cousins after all, and the blood relation was there.
So he couldn't help but ask, "Chief Yang Yuan, Shrek Academy's strength increased so rapidly; are there any aftereffects?"
"It just has a slight impact on their potential," Yang Yuan said nonchalantly.
"What!" everyone exclaimed.
"How is that possible? Could it be that the Shrek Group's Ranks rose so quickly because they took Banned Drugs?"
"How dare the Shrek Academy teachers do that!"
To have students take Banned Drugs just for the sake of results in the Soul Master Tournament.
If word of this got out, who would ever dare to join Shrek Academy in the future?
After hearing this, Yu Tianxin was shocked at first, but then something occurred to him, and his heart skipped a beat.
In this generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, only he and Yu Tianheng had the highest talent. So, barring any accidents, one of them would take the position of Clan Chief in the future.
Originally, as the direct grandson of Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianheng's chances of becoming Clan Chief were higher than Yu Tianxin's.
But now, an 'accident' had arrived.
If Yu Tianheng's potential was truly damaged, then for the sake of the Family's future, Yu Yuanzhen would never pass the position of Clan Chief to him.
Yu Tianxin's selfishness told him that as long as he acted as if nothing had happened...
...in just a few years, he would be able to leave Yu Tianheng completely behind.
At this thought, Yu Tianxin couldn't help but swallow hard, his thoughts wandering.
When he came back to his senses and looked up, he met Yang Yuan's half-smiling gaze.
Seeing Yang Yuan's expression, Yu Tianxin was startled instinctively, feeling as if his thoughts had just been seen through.
Could it be that Yang Yuan's Double Pupils could even read minds?
Meanwhile, inside the Shrek Academy carriage.
The Shrek Group had smiles on their faces.
Having won consecutive matches in the Promotion Round recently, their morale was naturally high.
Even the gloom cast by the Heaven Dou Vice Team earlier had dissipated quite a bit.
"The Grand Finals are finally approaching. I wonder if Fatty has obtained his fourth spirit ring yet."
Oscar sat on the carpet in a lazy posture.
"Bad luck for him. If he had broken through a few days earlier, he might have gone to get his spirit ring with you back then."
Dai Mubai laughed.
His expression looked a bit more somber than before, but his mental state was much better than when his 'eggs' had just been crushed.
Moreover, he had tested it; although one 'egg' had been crushed, it could still be used, at least.
"Speaking of which, Little Ao, you don't seem to be sixteen yet, right?"
Oscar nodded.
"Still three or four months away."
"A fifteen-year-old food systemSpirit Ancestor... you are probably the youngest food systemSpirit Ancestor on the continent."
"If Meng Yiran knew about this, she'd probably be green with regret. She likely doesn't know she missed out on a future food systemTitled Douluo."
Dai Mubai gave a sinister, cold sneer.
But in reality, the person he truly wanted to mock was Zhu Zhuqing.
Look at them; even Fatty was already a Spirit Ancestor.
As for Zhu Zhuqing?
She chose to leave Shrek back then, and even now, she was still stuck in the thirties.
That short-sighted bitch; even if she regrets it now, it's too late.
"It's all thanks to Little San."
Hearing this, Oscar looked at Tang San gratefully.
He had also taken the Secret medicineTang San gave him, and he had broken through Rank forty a few days earlier than Ma Hongjun, successfully absorbing his fourth spirit ring.
"We're brothers; why be so polite?"
Tang San came back to his senses, smiled faintly, and waved his hand.
He was thinking about something else just now.
"Teacher said that twin spirits have Spirit conflicts, so he planned to leave for a while to help me find a way to resolve them."
"I wonder if progress is going smoothly on Teacher's end."
Time passed, and another seven or eight days went by.
The journey was calm and uneventful.
In Spirit City, thousands of miles away, an uninvited guest appeared.
A man with a buzz cut wearing a black robe stood before the magnificent Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Facing the obstruction of two Silver-armored knights, he proudly took out a medallion and held it out before them.
"This is the Supreme Pontiff Order!"
"Seeing this medallion is like the Supreme Pontiff himself being present!"
An indifferent voice came from his mouth.
After the two Silver-armored knights saw the medallion clearly, their pupils shrank suddenly, their bodies couldn't help but shiver, and with a thud, they knelt on one knee.
"Greetings, Elder!"
Behind them, over a hundred knights followed suit, performing the same action.
Yu Xiaogang savored the feeling of being greeted; his eyes were burning, filled with ambition.
"One day!"
"Even without this medallion, I would still receive the worship of millions."
At this thought, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
But when looking at the knights before him, he tilted his head back haughtily and issued an order in the briefest of words.
"Take me to see the Supreme Pontiff!"
