Chapter 281 The Unparalleled Overlord
Preparations for the Soul Battle Tournament are in full swing, while over there, Xiao Hongchen is further perfecting his Ascension Power.

Meanwhile, within the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian were also making progress under the tutelage of Du Busi, especially in the area of ​​innate secret techniques, which brought them considerable shock.

On Shrek Academy's side, Bei Bei received private instruction from Xuanzu Mu En, gradually perfecting his power as the Holy Dragon of Light, while also beginning to master the fusion of spiritual power and soul power.

The others also tried their best not to hold anyone back under the special training of Cai Meier and Yan Shaozhe.

After all, this continent-wide advanced soul master academy battle tournament will, barring any unforeseen circumstances, be a stage comparable to the most prestigious tournaments in history, with at least three Soul Saints already known!

If we include those with Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo-level combat abilities, there are as many as five of them, which ranks among the top even in the history of those famous competitions.

Everyone is working hard to showcase their talents.

Besides Ning Tian...

She's living a very comfortable life right now. During the day, she drinks tea while handling her important tasks, and occasionally trains with the others. At night, she receives sleep aid from Ning Wuque. Every day is extremely fulfilling.

After all, she had no interest in the Soul Fighting Tournament. Winning the championship once was enough, and with Ning Wuque around, she didn't have many opportunities to appear.

At most, Ning Wuque would just casually throw out a few support items when he was using his martial soul to crush weaker opponents. It was only because the others had their own purposes that they worked so hard.

Some wanted to win the championship, some wanted the so-called glory of Shrek Academy, and some jealous people wanted to teach someone a lesson... and so on. That's about it.

……

"Finally—level 67!"

With one month to go before the Soul Fighting Tournament, in the dormitory at Shrek Academy, Wu Feng was pleasantly surprised to feel the surging power within his body.

At eighteen years old and at level sixty-seven, to be honest, this level of soul power is already something she can be proud of. This is already the peak of the geniuses of this era. Even Mu En and Long Xiaoyao were no more than this when they were young.

The combined power of a single immortal-grade essence and an immortal-grade medicinal plant is absolutely top-notch. In addition, the abundant life force that Ning Wuque has been exchanging every night has also contributed to the improvement of his soul power. This level is a completely reasonable result.

"It's a pity I can't break through to Soul Saint before the Soul Battle Tournament starts, otherwise my chances of winning would be even greater~ Darling, you have so many ideas, please help me~"

Greed knows no bounds. Wu Feng puffed out her cheeks and pounced on Ning Wuque's side, clinging to his arm and begging for help. To show her determination, she even partially activated her martial soul, transforming into a dragon girl, placing her long tail on Ning Wuque's thigh, adopting a submissive posture.

It's a pity that even if Ning Wuque wanted to give the other party another boost, it was simply impossible:
"Even if you beg me, I can't do it... Unless there's a 90,000-year-old torso bone right in front of you, there's no way you can break through to level three again in a short time. Absorbing a 100,000-year-old one now is still too dangerous."

Although there is another celestial herb that would be very suitable for you, its medicinal properties overlap with the cinnabar you previously absorbed. Therefore, you cannot take it until you have fully absorbed the medicinal power of the cinnabar, and I cannot help you with that either.

That's what he said, but Ning Wuque didn't hold back when it came to his hands. He placed both hands on the dragon's tail and stroked the soft flesh beneath it with great ease, looking very relaxed.

He had just finished a full day of cultivation, and would only continue practicing his combat skills after paying his dues at 2 AM—a perfect balance of work and rest. As for the immortal plant he mentioned, it was naturally the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. This immortal plant had a large overlap in effects with the Blazing Glue, so it was unlikely he could consume it before Wu Feng was granted his title.

Even if they took it, it would only speed up the time to become a Super Douluo, which is a bit of a waste. It would be better to save it for their future child, who might awaken a hybrid of the Purple Crystal Dragon Devouring Ant and the Molten Blazing Dragon, which would be perfect.

"Ah—~! Okay then~"

"Feng Mei, you can't be too greedy. Wuque is planning to give you another big gift when you reach level 70!"

Sitting on Ning Wuque's other side, Ning Tian chuckled as he reached out and stroked the soft flesh on Wu Feng's dragon tail. To be honest, stroking a tail is indeed a very stress-relieving thing.

Moreover, just like a cat's tail, a dragon's tail is only meant to be touched by someone very close to it. If a stranger touches it, the dragon's tail will whip them.

Wu Feng had already learned about this great gift from Ning Wuque, so she wasn't particularly excited at the moment. Instead, she pounced on him, stretched out her head, and gently bit his shoulder, her teeth rubbing against his iron-like skin to express her affection.

------

"A focused will can shatter even the hardest rock. Wuque, now you need to forge your own path. You have completed your apprenticeship. If there is anything you still don't understand, come find me as soon as possible."

Several days later, in the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En looked at Ning Wuque with some emotion.

The other party's foundation had already been polished to the point where there was no room for further progress, but because it involved willpower, Mu En did not provide further instruction, as that would have restricted Ning Wuque's own future.

So he decided to let go and let the other person find the path they wanted to master.

This means allowing one's will to flourish in a certain place. For example, Moon's own reign of supreme power was a complete amplification of mental strength through willpower.

Ning Wuque now has to create his own unique "Reign of the World," but this is the only thing he can hardly help with. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.

"Thank you for your church support during this time, Elder Mu. We have some ideas for further developments. If there is anything we don't understand, we will definitely come to you for help."

Ning Wuque felt there was nothing wrong with this, and he had indeed found a preliminary path to further develop it.

He wanted to completely integrate his will and body, to forge his body with his will! To make his body as resilient as his will, which was also what he needed to do in his sixth challenge: to let his will and spiritual power permeate every inch of his body.

With every gesture, one can gather all their strength!
It possesses unwavering perseverance, relentless self-destruction, and a fierce fighting spirit.

This is the path he himself will take, a path unique to him: "The will of a hegemon, with me without flaw!"
"Well, it's good that you have a plan. By the way, the academy has already selected the reserve team members. As the captain, you can take a look."

Nodding, Moon spoke while handing over the list of Shrek Academy's participants in this Soul Fighting Tournament.
