Although Xue Qinghe had assured Wang Li that he could freely visit Heaven Dou City, Wang Li had no intention of going. Instead, he spent the next three months entirely at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

And then, on this day—

Qin Ming was teaching a class when his gaze casually swept across the area. Suddenly, he noticed a middle-aged man in a gray robe standing under a distant tree. The man exuded no aura whatsoever and seemed like an ordinary person.

However, how could an ordinary person enter the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy so silently? Judging by the situation, the man had been there for some time.

A chill ran down Qin Ming's back. Who is this powerful figure? What level of strength does he possess?

Qin Ming's abrupt reaction drew the attention of the class. Following his gaze, the students also looked over.

Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise: 

"Grandfather!" 

Ignoring the fact that they were in the middle of a lesson, she grabbed Wang Li and rushed toward Dugu Bo's location.

Qin Ming was stunned upon hearing this. Is that... the Poison Douluo? Looking closely, there was indeed some resemblance, but wasn't Poison Douluo supposed to be older? He looks much younger now...

Matters concerning Title Douluo were not something Qin Ming could question. He turned to the rest of the group and said: 

"It seems that Jade Phosphor Douluo has come to visit Dugu Yan. Wang Li, let's wrap up today's sparring session. Focus on cultivating your soul power. Now that Dugu Yan has already reached the fortieth rank ahead of you, you all need to work harder." 

Hearing this, Oslo, Yu Feng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling all nodded in agreement.

Over the past three months, spurred on by Wang Li's example, they had been training diligently. Although everyone's soul power had improved, Dugu Yan was the first to break through to the fortieth rank.

Meanwhile, on the other side— 

Dugu Yan ran up to Dugu Bo and, like a child, began complaining about all the grievances she and Wang Li had suffered in his absence: 

"Grandfather, you don't know how much trouble Xiao Li and I have gone through while you were in seclusion..." 

Adding a bit of exaggeration for effect, she recounted the events before coquettishly saying: 

"Grandfather, you have to stand up for us!" 

After listening, a fierce light gleamed in Dugu Bo's eyes as he growled: 

"Salas, Spirit Hall—do they think I, Dugu Bo, don't exist? Yan Yan, Xiao Li, Grandpa will head to Heaven Dou City right now!" 

But Wang Li shook his head. 

"Sister Yan, Grandpa, heading to Heaven Dou City now won't achieve much. Punishing or even killing Salas won't help us. On the contrary, it would only make Spirit Hall pay more attention to us." 

"Grandpa, now that you're out of seclusion, we have more important things to do. The Star Luo Empire and the Sensitive Clan—these matters need to be addressed sooner rather than later." 

"Since Sister Yan has broken through to the fortieth rank, let's request some time off and take care of everything at once." 

Dugu Yan was deeply moved. Wang Li was always thinking about her. She said with concern: 

"But Xiao Li, what about the grievances you've suffered?" 

Wang Li replied calmly: 

"Everything I've endured is because my talent is too great, and my cultivation is too fast. If that's the case, I'll train even harder, shock them, and make them regret it!" 

Dugu Bo was delighted, both because Dugu Yan had reached the fortieth rank and because of Wang Li's determination. He laughed heartily: 

"Good, good, good! Xiao Li, your suffering won't be in vain. Grandpa will make sure to settle this score for you!" 

With that, Dugu Bo released a burst of his aura, withdrawing it almost instantly. 

However, that brief release was enough to alert Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin, who quickly rushed over after sensing the terrifying aura. 

Seeing Dugu Bo, the three elders were all startled. The middle-aged man before them looked drastically different from Dugu Bo's previous appearance. 

However, there was no mistaking his aura. Respectfully, the three greeted him: 

"Jade Phosphor Douluo!" 

Dugu Bo nodded slightly and said: 

"I came to see my granddaughter and grandson-in-law. Since Yan Yan has broken through to the fortieth rank, I'll personally take them to hunt for spirit beasts and guide them for a while." 

"I can't let people bully my granddaughter and grandson-in-law while I'm away." 

Hearing this, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin had no objections. For one, Dugu Bo would certainly find the most suitable fourth spirit ring for Dugu Yan. For another, with Dugu Bo's protection, Dugu Yan and Wang Li would be much safer. Additionally, the guidance of a Title Douluo would undoubtedly accelerate their growth. 

Meng Shenji said solemnly: 

"We understand. Jade Phosphor Douluo, you may take Dugu Yan and Wang Li whenever you wish. Rest assured, what happened before will never happen again. We will protect our students so you can confidently entrust them to us in the future." 

Dugu Bo said calmly: 

"I hope so." 

Then he turned to Dugu Yan and Wang Li with a smile and asked: 

"Do you have anything you need to bring? If not, we'll set off immediately." 

Dugu Yan and Wang Li both shook their heads. With their storage soul tools, there was no need to prepare anything further. 

Without delay, Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan and Wang Li and soared into the sky. In that instant, the aura he released stunned Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin. 

Bai Baoshan said in a deep voice: 

"It's not just his appearance that has changed. That overwhelming aura—Jade Phosphor Douluo's strength has clearly advanced again." 

Zhilin nodded, taking a deep breath before speaking: 

"This is for the best. With Jade Phosphor Douluo's enhanced strength, Wang Li will be even safer and can grow without hindrance." 

Meng Shenji's eyes gleamed as he added thoughtfully: 

"Jade Phosphor Douluo's martial soul is poison-based. If his strength has increased, it means his poison is even more potent now. If word of this gets out, Salas will undoubtedly have a headache."

After taking Dugu Yan and Wang Li, Dugu Bo's primary goal was to head toward the Star Luo Empire. However, the Star Dou Forest lay on the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. 

Thus, their first stop was the Star Dou Forest, where they would find a suitable soul beast for Dugu Yan's fourth soul ring. Afterward, they planned to cross the forest and enter the Star Luo Empire's territory. 

Dugu Bo's speed was astonishing. In just half a day, they crossed the Silvis Kingdom and entered the Barak Kingdom. 

Wang Li's gaze drifted toward the distance. He was looking for the Lima Plains, though he wasn't sure if they were in this direction. 

He quickly withdrew his gaze. At this moment, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the other five members of the Shrek Seven Devils were likely undergoing Yu Xiaogang's grueling training. 

If they weren't running, they were probably engaged in soul battles. Wang Li couldn't help but wonder what their mindset was now, especially with himself as a benchmark for comparison. 

These thoughts swirled in Wang Li's mind. 

If Tang San is working tirelessly, thinking he's catching up to me, what kind of despair will he feel when we meet again and see how far ahead I've gotten? 

Of course, Wang Li would still "properly comfort" both him and Xiao Wu when the time came...
