After leaving the Fasno Province, Wang Li and Dugu Yan finally embarked on their journey back to Heaven Dou City.

With their ability to fly, traveling was significantly more convenient. It didn't take long before they arrived in Heaven Dou City.

The Dugu Family Residence

After more than a year, Wang Li and Dugu Yan finally returned—just in time, as Dugu Bo was also at home.

Seeing her grandfather, Dugu Yan was overjoyed. She ran up to him, clinging to his arm as she pouted playfully.

"Grandpa! This is great! You're not in seclusion. I missed you so much!"

Dugu Bo smiled indulgently and replied, 

"I'm an honorary elder of the Heaven Dou Empire. I have to come back every so often. But I didn't expect you two to return at the same time."

At that moment, Wang Li stepped forward, smiling. 

"Grandpa!"

Upon seeing Wang Li, Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, his eyes unable to hide his pride. But then, he feigned a stern expression and scolded loudly: 

"You brat! You said you wanted to challenge strong opponents, so I thought you'd fight Soul Saints. But you went straight to challenging a Contra! Do you have any idea how terrifying a Soul Douluo is? They're the closest experts to Titled Douluo! When I heard about it while I was out, I was completely shocked!"

Wang Li, however, responded earnestly, 

"Soul Saints don't offer any challenge. With my spirit ring configuration, fighting a Soul Saint would just be a waste of time. Only battling a Soul Douluo puts any pressure on me."

Dugu Bo looked at Wang Li's sincere expression and was momentarily at a loss for words. After all, considering Wang Li's spirit ring configuration, even an average Soul Douluo couldn't compare to him. Finally, Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh and curse. 

"Forget it! The more I lecture you, the more arrogant you become! I have to admit, you're impressive. You've even been called the strongest below the Titled Douluo rank, stirring up the entire continent!"

"But this will also make you a bigger target. Since you're back, don't go running around recklessly again."

Wang Li shook his head and said firmly, 

"Grandpa, I can't stay just yet. I still have to visit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. They invited me, so I should at least make an appearance."

Dugu Bo's eyes widened in disbelief. 

"Taking down the lower four sects wasn't enough? Now you want to challenge the upper three? They have Titled Douluo guarding them—this isn't a joke! Ugh, fine. I'll go with you."

Wang Li grinned. 

"Many thanks, Grandpa."

Dugu Bo snorted. He had long realized that this kid had a tendency to seek out beatings. Now, he was running around provoking death at every turn. First, he fought Soul Douluo, and now he wanted to take on Titled Douluo. Shaking his head, Dugu Bo sighed. 

"Your martial spirit… I really don't know what to say."

The Next Day 

Under Dugu Bo's lead, Wang Li and Dugu Yan set off for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's domain—Thunder Valley.

Thunder Valley was filled with wild lightning energy. The sky remained perpetually dark, covered in thick thunderclouds. Lightning crackled and boomed, illuminating the valley in flickering flashes.

It was the ideal battlefield and training ground for thunder-attributed martial spirits. As one of the top three sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan concealed itself within this valley.

Upon reaching the entrance, Dugu Bo shouted loudly, 

"Yu Yuanzhen! I, Dugu Bo, have come to visit! Hurry up and show yourself!"

He infused his voice with soul power, causing it to echo throughout the valley, reverberating endlessly. Moments later, a bolt of lightning shot toward them, accompanied by a bold, hearty laugh. 

"Hahaha… You old poison! What brings you to my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan today?"

In an instant, the lightning struck the ground before them, transforming into a towering figure. The newcomer was an elderly man with white hair and beard, but his aura was incredibly powerful—like a human-shaped soul beast.

Dugu Bo remained composed. In the past, Yu Yuanzhen had been stronger than him. Now, the tables had turned. Confidently, Dugu Bo chuckled. 

"You publicly invited my grandson-in-law to challenge your sect anytime. Now that I've brought my granddaughter and grandson-in-law, do you still dare to accept the challenge?"

Yu Yuanzhen didn't hesitate. 

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

His gaze then shifted to Wang Li and Dugu Yan. Even under his scrutiny, neither of them flinched, making him inwardly admire them. As expected of the genius who had shaken the continent.

But soon, his attention returned to Dugu Bo. The more he observed, the more something felt off. He couldn't sense any soul power from Dugu Bo—yet the longer he tried, the more boundless Dugu Bo's presence seemed.

He spoke with uncertainty, 

"Your strength…?"

Dugu Bo replied calmly, 

"I've made a bit of progress, nothing worth mentioning. Now, will this match take place outside the sect gates or inside?"

Yu Yuanzhen was momentarily dazed. His thoughts had already drifted away from Wang Li's challenge, but he instinctively responded, 

"Of course, inside the sect. Follow me!"

With that, Yu Yuanzhen personally led the way. Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Wang Li followed him, eventually arriving at a vast square in front of a grand hall. 

At each of the four corners of the square stood a massive stone dragon, sculpted in the form of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. The carvings were majestic and lifelike, exuding an air of dominance.

The entire plaza was constructed from an unknown black stone, its surface smooth and gleaming like refined steel. By this time, the elders and disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had all gathered, filling the space.

Yu Yuanzhen looked at them and declared, 

"A year ago, I said that Wang Li was welcome to challenge our sect at any time. Now that he is here, where are my Soul Douluo experts? Before Poison Douluo and myself, let us see who is stronger!"

Three figures stepped forward—Yu Luomian, Yu Minghao, and Yu Mingsheng—the Soul Douluo powerhouses of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. 

However, since Yu Mingsheng had already been defeated, only Yu Luomian and Yu Minghao were eligible to fight.

Yu Luomian sighed inwardly. His elder brother had been too stubborn. A year ago, they should have acted. Now, with Poison Douluo present, any underhanded moves would be much harder to execute.

Still, he wanted to test Wang Li's abilities firsthand. Stepping forward, he declared, 

"I, Yu Luomian, greet Your Excellency. A year ago, my son—the headmaster of Thunder Academy—was defeated by you. Now that you've come to challenge us, I shall personally accept."

Dugu Bo glanced at Wang Li, unconcerned. Without hesitation, he led Dugu Yan to the sidelines.

Yu Yuanzhen also stepped back with the elders and disciples, leaving only the two combatants in the center of the plaza.

Among the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the ones with the most complex emotions at that moment were Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.

They were of the same generation as Wang Li, yet he was now fighting their fathers—and even their grandfather's peers.

In the Plaza 

Yu Luomian's eyes flickered with uncertainty. Over the past year, he had heard countless tales of Wang Li defeating Soul Douluo experts one after another. For Wang Li to actively challenge their sect, he must have absolute confidence in his strength.

Yu Luomian smirked and said, 

"A true hero emerges young. I've heard much about you—let's see if your strength is as remarkable as the rumors claim!"

Wang Li had been looking forward to this battle. Smiling, he replied, 

"Senior, please advise me!"

Without hesitation, he summoned his martial spirit. Six soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—materialized around him. He had deliberately suppressed his aura, though Yu Luomian's presence posed no threat to him.

Yu Luomian summoned his martial spirit as well. Thunderous energy erupted as lightning surged across his arms, legs, torso, and back. With a powerful roar, his body underwent full dragon transformation—blue-violet scales covering his form. Eight soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—circled him, radiating a terrifying might.

The battle began with Wang Li taking the initiative. His first soul skill activated, and Blue Silver Grass erupted in all directions, spreading endlessly. As he channeled his power, he silently murmured in his heart: 

"Black Jade Divine Bamboo Spear!"

Yu Luomian was momentarily stunned. Although the intelligence reports mentioned that Wang Li could summon an enormous amount of Blue Silver Grass, witnessing it in person was another matter entirely. 

He watched in shock as the terrain transformed before his eyes—Wang Li had single-handedly reshaped the battlefield to his advantage. 

Even though Blue Silver Grass had a low energy cost, the sheer quantity was overwhelming. Yu Luomian soon lost sight of Wang Li's exact position. Before he could react, the Black Jade Divine Bamboo Spears came raining down on him like a storm.

With a thunderous roar, Yu Luomian activated his third and fourth soul skills: 

"Thunderous Wrath!" 

"Lightning Serpent Frenzy!" 

His lightning power surged, amplifying his strength by 100%. His entire body became enveloped in dense blue-violet electricity, and hundreds of lightning serpents burst forth, writhing like a swarm of vipers.

Crackle! Boom! 

The wild bolts of electricity clashed against the Black Jade Divine Bamboo Spears. Some of the spears, dimmed by the overwhelming lightning, shattered upon impact.

But Wang Li had the advantage of numbers. As the lightning serpents began to dissipate, the remaining spears surged forward in a relentless wave. Even with his dragon-transformed body, Yu Luomian couldn't withstand the sheer force. His blood churned violently, and his expression changed drastically.

"Fifth Soul Skill—Thunder Tyrant Armor! Seventh Soul Skill—Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon True Form!" 

Roar! 

A deafening dragon's roar echoed as Yu Luomian unleashed his full strength. He was well aware of Wang Li's power—this young man had defeated Soul Douluo experts one after another and could no longer be considered an ordinary Soul Emperor. 

A colossal Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon emerged, its entire body clad in a layer of thunder-infused armor. Crackling with endless lightning, it rampaged through the Blue Silver Forest like a living thunderstorm. 

Wherever it passed, Wang Li's Blue Silver Grass—or rather, his Blue Silver Emperor—couldn't withstand the devastating force and shattered instantly. 

Wang Li shook his head. Back when he had fought Yu Luomian's son, he had already realized how troublesome the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could be. Their violent thunder and formidable dragon bodies made them difficult opponents. 

Without hesitation, he activated his third soul skill—Chaotic Dance, followed by his fourth soul skill—Infinite Plunder. 

Chaotic Dance boosted all attributes of Blue Silver Grass by 75%, while Infinite Plunder allowed him to absorb 75% of any foreign energy. Under the current circumstances, this effectively granted him 75% resistance to lightning attacks. 

With the enhancement of two ten-thousand-year soul skills, Wang Li's Blue Silver Emperor remained entirely unaffected by the dense storm of lightning. 

Snap! 

A Blue Silver Vine shot through the lightning storm, striking Yu Luomian with such force that he was sent flying. 

Yu Luomian was utterly dumbfounded. His lightning, his dragon body—how could they fail to block a mere Blue Silver Grass attack? Before he could react, countless Blue Silver Vines had already surrounded him. 

Snap! Snap! Snap! 

Speed, strength, durability, armor penetration, lightning resistance—Wang Li's fully empowered Blue Silver Vines rained down on Yu Luomian, relentlessly lashing him in a furious barrage. The attacks were so overwhelming that he was forcibly knocked out of his Martial Soul True Body state. 

If he couldn't withstand the strikes even in Martial Soul True Body, how could he possibly endure without it? 

Moments later, the Blue Silver Vines withdrew. 

The thunderstorm had dissipated. Yu Luomian's dragon body lay battered and broken. He collapsed onto the ground, his entire body wracked with unbearable pain, as though he had been torn apart. 

Eyes dull, he stared blankly at the sky as Wang Li approached and used a healing ability to mend his injuries. 

Yu Luomian roared in frustration, 

"Why?! Why?! You're just a Soul Emperor, yet your soul skills possess such terrifying power! How could you possibly harm me?!" 

In consideration of the experience points Yu Luomian had just provided, Wang Li responded with a mix of truth and deception: 

"My third soul ring is 2,000 years old. My fourth soul ring is 7,000 years old. Take a guess—how old are my fifth and sixth soul rings? Strength comes at a cost; those who wish to stand above others must endure suffering beyond imagination. But... I doubt anyone else could replicate my path." 

Yu Luomian's eyes widened in shock. His gaze fixated on Wang Li's fifth and sixth soul rings—the two soul rings Wang Li hadn't even activated yet. Just how old were they? 

Meanwhile, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan erupted in an uproar. 

Yu Luomian—their second-in-command—had been utterly defeated by Wang Li without much resistance. How could they possibly accept such a result? 

Dugu Bo smirked, tempted to pat Yu Yuanzhen on the shoulder and say, "My grandson-in-law just beat your younger brother." 

But considering that an irrational old dragon might act impulsively, he held back. 

Instead, he simply chuckled and said, 

"Looks like the match is decided." 

Yu Yuanzhen remained completely unfazed and replied indifferently, 

"Hmm." 

Then, using sound compression, he transmitted a voice message directly to Dugu Bo: 

"Dugu Bo, you've broken through to that realm, haven't you? You've become a Super Douluo, haven't you?" 

Dugu Bo wasn't surprised and responded in the same manner, 

"That's right. Rank 96." 

Yu Yuanzhen's eyes burned with passion. This was the realm he had pursued his entire life. 

After a brief moment of contemplation, he spoke, 

"Would you be willing to guide me? Name your terms—if it's within my power, I'll agree to anything!" 

Dugu Bo initially wanted to refuse. What he sought, Yu Yuanzhen could never provide. 

However, upon glancing at Wang Li, he suddenly changed his mind. 

With a slight smile, he said, 

"In that case, why don't you personally spar with my grandson-in-law?" 

Yu Yuanzhen didn't hesitate for even a second. 

"Agreed. Your grandson-in-law is truly exceptional. Even I can't predict how far he'll go in the future." 

Without another word, Yu Yuanzhen flashed into the arena, first ensuring Yu Luomian was taken away for treatment. 

Then, turning to Wang Li, he spoke with great solemnity, 

"With Luomian defeated, there is no longer a Soul Douluo in my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan capable of facing you. So now, I offer you a choice—fight me for a few exchanges. You may accept or decline." 

Wang Li had no reason to refuse. 

A battle with a Titled Douluo would provide invaluable experience—far beyond anything he could imagine. 

A wide grin spread across his face as he clasped his hands together and declared loudly, 

"I accept. Please, guide me!"
