Feng Xiaotian was a secret weapon of the Heaven Dou side, spending most of his time within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, receiving guidance from Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
As Dugu Feng had anticipated, Feng Xiaotian's God Test was not particularly difficult.
After spending over a year, Feng Xiaotian successfully comprehended a Wind Attribute Domain Skill and passed the sixth test.
The seventh test that followed was to obtain the Wind God Divine Artifact.
Now, Feng Xiaotian had also passed this test and gained control over the divine artifact, the Wind Spirit Pearl.
The Wind Spirit Pearl was a divine artifact pearl capable of manipulating all winds in the world. With this pearl, Feng Xiaotian could control all Wind Attribute Soul Power across the entire Douluo Continent.
In this state, Feng Xiaotian's strength was already formidable. Coupled with the rewards from two God Tests and two years of cultivation, he was now in seclusion, compressing his Soul Core and on the verge of breaking through to become a Titled Douluo.
The content of the eighth test had also been revealed, which surprisingly was a requirement for Soul Power Level—to cultivate to level ninety-nine.
As long as he reached level ninety-nine, the eighth test would automatically be completed.
As for the ninth test, it went without saying—it would undoubtedly involve entering the Wind God Divine Hall to undergo the final inheritance.
The God Test was indeed simple, but it was clear that for Feng Xiaotian, the eighth test could not be completed in the near future.
Reaching level ninety-nine would take at least another decade or more.
Even so, this still met Dugu Feng's expectations: a rapid breakthrough to Titled Douluo and mastery over the Wind Attribute Divine Artifact. With the divine artifact in hand, Feng Xiaotian could play a crucial role at critical moments.
After meeting with Feng Xiaotian, Dugu Feng was in high spirits.
He directly left Heaven Dou City, transforming into a shadow as he wandered across the continent.
Judging by his direction, he seemed to be heading toward Suotuo City.
Flying through the sky, the roads below clearly manifested in his mind.
At the age of seven, he had traveled this very road to Suotuo City for a Soul Duel, defeating Zhu Zhuqing and feeding Core Pearls to both sisters, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.
Of course, there had been the Elephant Armor Sect's underhanded schemes and Ghost Douluo's ambush along the way, which ultimately ended with the destruction of the Elephant Armor Sect and Yu Yuanzhen intercepting Ghost Douluo.
All of this felt as if it had happened just yesterday, but in reality, over a decade had already passed.
Dugu Feng soon arrived above Suotuo City, but he did not linger there. Instead, he continued southward and, before long, entered the Star Luo Empire.
Compared to the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire's cities and roads had a drastically different style, predominantly dark-toned and much more solemn.
Dugu Feng was in no hurry to reach his destination. Instead, he leisurely savored the unique flavors of different cities along the way.
After all, his current cultivation focused on compressing his Soul Core. No matter what he was doing, his spiritual power allowed him to multitask, continuously compressing his Soul Power.
In this relaxed state, Dugu Feng took his time traveling, and it took him a month to finally reach Star Luo City.
At night, with a single leap, he entered the imperial palace from the shadows.
The Star Luo Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, with an exceptionally powerful force of Soul Masters. Countless Soul Douluos and Soul Saints were hidden in the shadows, providing covert protection.
However, none of this posed any threat to Dugu Feng.
His concealment abilities were too formidable. With the protection of Overlord Venom, even Dai Tian Jun would be unable to detect him.
Just as Dugu Feng was about to head toward Dai Tian Jun's bedchamber, he caught sight of Dai Mubai at the Prince's Mansion.
Without hesitation, he simply walked into the Prince's Mansion.
Under the scrutiny of his spiritual sense, Dugu Feng discovered Dai Mubai was cultivating.
His Soul Power Level was already approaching that of a Soul Emperor, and his cultivation progress was not slow.
"Unfortunately, it ends here!"
Dugu Feng calmly slipped into the room where Dai Mubai was cultivating.
"Who's there?"
Dai Mubai stood up with a bang.
The Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded. Who could enter without reporting? Could it be Father looking for me?
Raising his head, Dai Mubai instead found a familiar face.
"Dugu Feng!!"
Dai Mubai was stunned. He had seen this person before and had even spoken with him at Shrek Academy.
"What are you doing here!" He hadn't yet grasped the situation.
"I've come to kill someone!"
Dugu Feng said with a smile.
Dai Mubai's face changed drastically, finally realizing Dugu Feng's ill intentions.
"Gu—"
He immediately tried to call out, but found his throat open yet unable to produce any sound.
"Those our Dugu Family wishes to kill all die silently and without a trace!"
From the moment Dugu Feng entered the Prince's Mansion, Dai Mubai had been poisoned—a colorless, odorless poison. In reality, Dugu Feng had already taken control of his body and Soul Power.
"Why..."
Dai Mubai glared with unwilling eyes. Though no sound came out, the shape of his mouth conveyed his thoughts.
Dugu Feng was Ning Rongrong's boyfriend. There was no conflict between them; they had even conversed before. Although their relationship was ordinary, there was no hatred!
"The Star Luo Empire has no reason to exist anymore. Die!"
Dugu Feng drew a short sword and, under Dai Mubai's disbelieving gaze, plunged it into his heart, ending Dai Mubai's life.
Killing Dai Mubai was merely incidental; his true targets were Dai Tian Jun and Zhu Lan Yun.
Star Luo truly had no reason to exist!
To Dugu Feng, the Star Luo Empire was a supporter of the Clear Sky Sect and ultimately could not align with the Dugu Family. Destroying it was just that—destroying it.
The continent was too peaceful; Dugu Feng needed to stir up some storms.
Previously, Dugu Feng had been wary of Tang Bo hiding in the shadows, but now things were different. His Overlord Venom had evolved once more, granting him strong concealment abilities. He believed that even if Tang Bo had cultivated to the realm of a Super Douluo, he would be unable to detect him.
Thus, Dugu Feng took action personally this time.
He believed that after Dai Tian Jun and Zhu Lan Yun died, the Star Luo Kingdom would fall into chaos.
Such an opportunity was sure to provoke Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong.
The most important one was Bibi Dong.
Dugu Feng did not want Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong cultivating in peace.
They needed to be stirred into action.
Dugu Feng had already arrived above Dai Tian Jun's bedchamber.
He did not sense the situation inside the bedchamber. Instead, he quickly released his Overlord Venom, allowing a colorless, odorless toxin to silently seep inside.
To kill Dai Tian Jun, he first had to kill Zhu Lan Yun.
Otherwise, if the two performed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, reaching the strength of level ninety-six, they would be troublesome to deal with.
The toxin spread continuously through the air.
Gradually, Dugu Feng sensed a slightly weaker aura—it must be Zhu Lan Yun, who was at the Soul Douluo level.
Once the toxin invaded her body, Dugu Feng could sense her presence even without using his spiritual sense.
Then, there was another, stronger aura beside her, currently cultivating and continuously absorbing external Soul Power, naturally also inhaling some of the toxin.
Dugu Feng waited patiently like this.
Until there was movement within the bedchamber.
First, Dai Tian Jun noticed something unusual. He felt that the absorption of Soul Power had slowed significantly, and the flow of Soul Power was not as smooth as before.
As a Titled Douluo, his powerful mental strength allowed him to control every wisp and particle of Soul Power during cultivation.
Even the slightest change could be perceived with absolute clarity.
He would never be mistaken in his perception.
There was an enemy!
