Xu Tianran raised his hand, stopping the guard beside him from continuing.

They didn't have the cultivation level of a Title Douluo, and they didn't know what a Super Douluo meant. Especially Zhongli Wu, with his strength, the entire Sun Moon Empire would have to use many methods to deal with him. Xu Tianran couldn't think of anyone who could pose a threat to Zhongli Wu, given that Du Busi was dealing with Wan Feng.

"Perhaps the Imperial Preceptor has simply gone to recuperate. Send word to all areas to be on the lookout, and if the Imperial Preceptor is spotted, immediately send him back to Mingdu."

"Yes."

Xu Tianran then continued walking towards the study, but his brows remained furrowed.

He was naturally suspicious. When he couldn't find any trace of Zhongli Wu, his first thought wasn't that Zhongli Wu had been killed, but that he had fled to another place for fear of being held responsible.

The Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps is one of the five guardian forces of the Sun Moon Empire. It was originally supposed to be led by Ju Zi, serving as the main force in attacking the Heavenly Soul Empire. However, due to Ju Zi's return to the palace, Luan Feng temporarily took over as corps leader. Even for the Sun Moon Empire, such a Soul Master Corps is not easily created.

As the Imperial Advisor and Military Supervisor, Zhongli Wu has been involved in such a major incident, and he cannot escape the responsibility.

Given the Holy Spirit Cult's practices, it wouldn't be surprising if the attack was planned by Zhongliwu.

"Delaying the war, collecting souls—did you really think I knew nothing? The Holy Spirit Cult, humph!"

With a cold look in his eyes, Xu Tianran spoke again, "Pass down the order to push forward the battle line in the Mingdou Mountains at all costs. I don't believe that a mere White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire can hold off the Death God Douluo in the Mingdou Mountains for two whole years."

"As for the Heavenly Soul Empire, have the Terrorclaw Soul Instructor Corps withdraw from the border of the Fighting Spirit Empire and replace the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps to continue advancing southward."

"Yes," the guard behind him replied, but then paused slightly. Shrek Academy lies just south of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Xu Tianran certainly knew this. However, their cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult stemmed from their fear of Shrek Academy's power.

Since the start of the war, the Holy Spirit Church has been going through the motions without contributing anything. They claim to be cooperating, but in reality, they are just collecting souls from the battlefield.

I've let them run wild for two years; it's time to force them to deal with Shrek Academy. Once Shrek City is breached, the Holy Spirit Cult will have no reason to exist.

"metropolitan!"

At the top of Tianling City, Du Busi coughed up a mouthful of blood as soon as he landed.

He was already recovering from his injuries. First, he fought with the Fire Phoenix Douluo for a long time, then he took the hit of the bone dragon that Zhongli Wu had detonated, and finally he was affected by Wang Nan's domain. Although he managed to stabilize himself in the air and avoid falling to the ground, all of this had made it impossible to suppress his old injuries.

"It's alright." Poison Undying waved his hand and looked back at the outside of the city.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Heavenly Soul Empire's army launched a counterattack, throwing the Sun Moon Empire's camp into chaos. Although the surrounding Sun Moon Empire's troops quickly arrived to provide support, the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps had suffered heavy losses, and their greatest threat had been eliminated.

"Thank you very much, young man."

Du Busi looked at Wang Nan, who had come to Tianling City with him. Wang Nan's complexion was also somewhat poor at this moment. Although he was not injured, he had very little soul power left.

Although Wang Nan was not at a disadvantage against a level 98 Super Douluo, the series of moves he used, especially the last few soul skills, the Panlong Staff Technique, and the soul bone technique, would have drained his soul power in an instant if he hadn't already condensed two soul cores.

"You're too kind, Poison Sect Master."

Golden-bodied Douluo Jinpeng stepped forward to support Du Busi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes upon seeing Wang Nan. He had just joined Du Busi in attacking the Sun Moon Empire's military camp and had seen the commotion involving Wang Nan and Zhongli Wu from a distance.

I just didn't expect that the person who had been fighting Zhongli Wu for so long would be Wang Nan.

Du Busi suppressed his internal injuries and was about to ask Wang Nan about his background when he noticed that his elders looked strange.

"You two know each other?"

"We met once before. Elder Jin, how have you been?"

Jin Peng nodded and whispered a few words to Du Busi.

Poison Undying's expression changed slightly as he sized up Wang Nan. His relationship with Shrek Academy wasn't good; in fact, Mu En was his enemy. Remembering how he had just addressed Wang Nan as "little brother," he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

However, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Wang Nan had just helped the Body Sect, and there was no faking it. "You should go to the city to rest first. The Body Sect will send you a gift of thanks later."

"I just happened to be passing by, so there's no need for a thank-you gift. However, I do need a quiet room to rest for a while."

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it for you right away."

Outside the city, the Heavenly Soul Empire's army was still taking advantage of the chaos to attack the Sun Moon Empire's camp. Inside the city, things were also in a frenzy. Wang Nan had no intention of staying on the city wall to disturb them any longer, so he followed the Body Sect members to a room.

The surrounding rooms faintly emanated soul power fluctuations, suggesting they were specially arranged for soul masters.

Two soul cores, one between his brows and the other on his chest, rotated simultaneously, constantly absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to replenish themselves. As he felt his soul power gradually increasing, Wang Nan frowned.

His ninth spirit ring's spirit skill is somewhat strange.

When a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, they automatically understand the Soul Skill contained within it. It's a mysterious and profound feeling, as if someone, or rather, the residual consciousness of a Soul Beast, is telling the Soul Master how to use the Soul Skill.

This allows Soul Masters to use Soul Skills immediately after obtaining a Soul Ring, even without undergoing training.

Although one cannot freely control the range, power, or direction, how to use it is already like an instinct.

However, Wang Nan's ninth spirit ring was even more special. He could sense that besides the initial domain spirit skill, there was another power hidden within it, and he had not fully unleashed the power of his ninth spirit ring.

Remember the feeling of using Dragon God's Tear.

The Silver Dragon King's words still echoed in his ears. Wang Nan understood that his ninth spirit ring was inextricably linked to those words, but he was just unable to combine those words with the power of the spirit ring for the time being.

Unable to come up with a solution, Wang Nan had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being. He closed his eyes and the scenes of his battle with Zhongli Wu flashed before his eyes.

The battle, especially the fight against a Soul Master whose strength was close to the limit, naturally brought Wang Nan considerable gains.

This was the first time he had used his Martial Soul True Body after his bones were tempered. The strange feeling made him vaguely feel that the Silver Dragon King's "bone tempering" was not just about increasing his physical strength.

The feeling of the power of his soul bone and martial soul merging together showed that, without a doubt, his soul bone had taken a step towards a higher level.

Another gain was Zhongliwu's final sneak attack.

Although Wang Nan had anticipated and prepared for it, he was completely unaware of Zhongli Wufa's sneak attack before it was launched; it was a very unique tactic.
