Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

Fortunately, he can now control the flames on his body at will.

Before entering the city, he unleashed the flames within his body.

His dark red hair and eyes turned fiery red again, and the familiar flame patterns once more covered his entire body, shimmering with intense light.

However, he had lost weight compared to before, which made the flame patterns even more prominent.

Yue Guan smiled and said:

“Yan, in Wuhun City, just appear like this. That way, people will have fewer suspicions.”

"Ok, I know."

"I wonder if Xie Yue and Nana have returned yet. Let's go to the Papal Palace to report the results of this trip to the Pope."

"it is good."

Yan and Yue Guan did not linger and went directly to the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong has a strong mental power and can sense the changes in the two of them. However, on the way back, the two of them had already thought of a way to deal with it.

After passing through the long corridor, the two arrived at the main hall of the Papal Palace.

As always, the place is so vast and empty that it inspires awe; you can hear the echo of your footsteps as soon as you step inside.

Bibi Dong sat alone on that high throne, her face as cold as ice, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

That solitary and aloof woman enveloped the entire hall in a cool and dignified atmosphere.

"Your Holiness, we are back."

Yan and Yue Guan respectfully bowed to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's gaze lingered on Yan for a moment, clearly noticing the change in his physique.

"Yan, you look like you've lost a lot of weight."

Yan lowered his head slightly and replied:

"Your Holiness, I don't know why this is the case either. It may be because of the many battles with water-attribute soul masters during this training, as well as the cultivation itself."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but she ultimately nodded, accepting the explanation with a mixture of belief and skepticism.

"So, how did you fare in this experience?"

"I got the Bronze Fighting Spirit Badge."

"What? Only a bronze Battle Spirit Badge?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

She had just met Xie Yue and Hu Liena a few days ago. They had received the Silver Battle Soul Badge and the Gold Battle Soul Badge respectively. In comparison, Yan's record was indeed somewhat inferior.

"What? Were those water-attribute soul masters you encountered difficult to deal with? Or was it because you were too engrossed in studying flowers and plants and wasted too much time in Sunset Forest?"

Yue Guan quickly stepped forward to explain on Yan's behalf.

"Your Holiness, in fact, Yan has performed very well in the Tox Grand Arena and has never been defeated in individual matches."

"Oh? Then why did you only get the Bronze Battle Spirit Badge?"

"Yan performed exceptionally well in battles against Soul Masters of the same level, with virtually no rivals. Therefore, he often teamed up with Battle Soul Kings who had just passed level 50 in order to qualify for Soul King-level duels and thus gain the opportunity to fight two opponents at once."

"I see. It is indeed quite difficult for you to fight against two Soul Kings at the same time with the power of a Soul Master."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

"So, during your training in the Soul Arena, has your soul power increased?"

"Your Holiness, I have broken through to level 45."

"Ah, very good."

Bibi Dong nodded again, satisfied with the result.

Then, her gaze shifted to Yue Guan.

After Yue Guan entered the hall, she noticed that the fluctuations in Yue Guan's soul power seemed to be more pronounced than before.

"Elder Ju, it seems you've gained quite a bit from this trip."

Yue Guan smiled slightly and lowered his head, saying:

"Nothing can escape His Holiness the Pope's eyes. After this period of training, my soul power has successfully broken through to level ninety-six."

"Oh? That's great news! Congratulations, Elder Ju."

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope."

A hint of joy flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

She also knew that Yue Guan had been stuck at level 95 for ten years.

Although there is only one level difference between level 95 and level 96, it is a difficult threshold to cross, and there is a huge gap in strength between the two.

As her confidant, Yue Guan's breakthrough to level 96 will undoubtedly strengthen her power.

"You two have both gained a lot from this trip."

Bibi Dong's gaze swept over the two of them again before settling on Yan, and she smiled slightly:

"Yan, Xie Yue and Nana have already returned to the academy. Go find them. There are less than two years until the Soul Master Competition. You must continue to cultivate diligently and don't let me down."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely win the championship."

"Yes. That's excellent."

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, Yan and Yue Guan left the main hall together.

Stepping out of the main hall, Yue Guan let out a long sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect them to be back already. Yan, you should go back to the academy by yourself."

"Alright. Are you going to see Elder Ghost?"

"Yes. I've missed him quite a bit after not seeing him for three months."

Yan knew that Gui Mei was Yue Guan's partner for many years and his most trusted friend.

Of course, I had to share the good news of breaking through to level 96 with my old partner.

The two parted ways, with Yan heading straight back to the academy and arriving at the training ground.

At this moment, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and several other teammates were training when they saw a familiar figure in the distance and stopped what they were doing.

As Yan drew closer, they were all stunned.

Yan has lost weight, her body proportions are more perfect, her facial features are clearer, and the flame patterns on her body are more obvious.

Coupled with his calm and deep gaze, he looks even more handsome and charming than before.

When Hu Liena saw him again, her heart couldn't help but tremble.

Li Kai was the first to run over, circled around Yan, carefully examining him and sensing the changes in him.

"Brother Yan? You've lost weight! Are you still the Brother Yan we know?"

"What? You want to try?"

"No, no, no! I don't want to try! Your fiery power seems even stronger than before; you could turn me into a roasted pig in a heartbeat, haha~~"

The others also gathered around, and were all amused by Li Kai's jokes.

"Brother Yan, you're back."

Xie Yue stepped forward to greet him.

"Well, I just came back."

"You've lost weight and look even more handsome than before. It seems you've gained a lot during your training in the Soul Arena, haven't you?"

Yan gently shook his head.

"It's alright. I only got a bronze Fighting Spirit Badge."

"What? A bronze Battle Spirit Badge?"

Xie Yue was a little confused and turned to look at Hu Liena behind him.

Hu Liena smiled smugly:

"Are all those water-attribute soul masters really that powerful? My brother got the silver battle soul badge, and I got the gold battle soul badge."

"They are indeed quite difficult to deal with, or it may be because I am not strong enough."

Yan answered casually, a faint smile appearing on his face, as if he were savoring something.

Hu Liena then asked:

"Has your soul power increased? My brother and I both increased by one level."

"Great, congratulations. I've also leveled up."
