Inside Clear Sky Peak, Tang Xiao, upon hearing the news, felt a surge of pride and rushed to Tang Hao's room to share the good news.
"Haha! Good, good! Little San has really done it! To think that in just a few years, he's already strong enough to defeat Qian Daoliu! This is fantastic! Little San hasn't disappointed me!!"
As he spoke, Tang Xiao's eyes shone with pride.
He had endured so much pressure over the years, spending countless sleepless nights.
But now, Little San had truly made him proud.
He had even managed to take revenge on the Spirit Hall!
Soon, as the news spread across the nation, the Star Luo Empire, which had been standing by, finally decided to take action. They approached the Clear Sky Clan, seeking an alliance.
As for Shrek Academy, which had just reopened in the Star Luo Empire, Tang San's high-profile actions had caused a surge in its popularity.
The academy's doors were nearly trampled by the crowds of people trying to enroll their children.
Seeing Shrek Academy grow in reputation and influence, Dean Flender felt a deep sense of satisfaction and pride.
For a time, the continent, which had been peaceful for years, began to stir and grow restless due to the actions of Tang San, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.
As for Tang San, after reclaiming the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, he didn't linger.
He immediately returned to the Slaughter City.
Upon his return, he was warmly welcomed by the Slaughter King, who was thrilled that Tang San had dealt a heavy blow to the woman who had controlled him for years.
In the following days, Tang San wasted no time and headed to the Rakshasa Temple to complete the final step of his Rakshasa God inheritance.
Meanwhile, Oscar and Ma Hongjun also began their final god trials.
Once they completed the last two trials, they too would ascend to godhood.
On the other hand, as Tang San and his group settled down to complete their final trials, the figure who had been in seclusion for years in Blue Tyrant Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire slowly opened his eyes.
As his eyes opened, a majestic aura, like a dragon awakening, began to emanate from him.
"Am I at the 99th level now, or have I reached level 100?"
Xiao Yu, who had just awakened, felt the abundant divine power within him and was filled with confusion.
After years of cultivation, Xiao Yu's soul power had completely transformed into divine power.
Now, when he cultivated, he no longer produced soul power but directly generated divine power.
This meant he had skipped the step of converting soul power into divine power.
However, Xiao Yu now felt as if he had hit a bottleneck.
This feeling was familiar to him, as it usually occurred when he needed to obtain a new soul ring.
But now that he was at the 99th level, this feeling could only mean one thing: he was approaching level 100.
"Silver Dragon King, can you tell me if I've reached level 100?"
Uncertain, Xiao Yu turned to the Silver Dragon King for answers.
Having witnessed Xiao Yu's transformation over the past four years, the Silver Dragon King had already formed her own conclusions.
Thus, she spoke directly, "Congratulations, Xiao Yu. Your soul power has transformed, and your divine power is complete. You are now truly at level 100. All you need is a soul ring to officially break through to level 100 and reach the realm of a true god. By then, with the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon, your strength might even rival that of a first-level god."
As she spoke, the Silver Dragon King's tone was complex.
Humans truly were the favored children of heaven.
While others struggled to break through to level 100, Xiao Yu had done so effortlessly.
Hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, Xiao Yu's face showed a look of realization.
But soon, he was filled with doubt and confusion.
If he needed a soul ring to break through to level 100 and officially become a god, what kind of soul ring should he obtain?
Currently, the only spirit beasts suitable for him were Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King. But he couldn't ask them to sacrifice themselves for him.
Moreover, their attributes didn't match his.
Even if they did, Xiao Yu wouldn't let the Silver Dragon King, his woman, sacrifice herself for him.
But if he excluded them, there were no other suitable spirit beasts.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, aside from Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King, there were only Bear Lord and Jade Emperor, but their cultivation levels were lower and unsuitable.
On the Sun Moon Continent, there was a 700,000-year One-Eyed Tyrant Monarch, but like Di Tian, its attributes didn't match Xiao Yu's.
The same went for Ice Emperor and Snow Empress in the Ice Forest.
Thus, Xiao Yu found himself in a dilemma.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yu? Are you worried about choosing a soul ring?"
Seeing Xiao Yu's silence, the Silver Dragon King asked curiously.
Xiao Yu didn't deny it and simply nodded.
"Hehe, I've already thought of the perfect soul ring for you."
"Oh?! Who? Don't tell me it's you."
Xiao Yu spoke with a complicated expression.
"No, of course not. I need to merge with the Golden Dragon King to become the Dragon God again, so I'm out of the question. My suggestion is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the ocean!
That guy was specially nurtured by the Sea God as the tenth soul ring for his next heir. Although its attributes don't perfectly match yours, the water attribute is relatively gentle and can be more easily altered by your Holy Light Dragon bloodline. Thus, it's the best choice for you right now!"
Hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.
Yes, how could he have forgotten? In the original story, there was a Deep Sea Demon Whale King that was nearly a million years old.
With its near-perfect million-year cultivation, it would be an ideal match for him.
Compared to the ice attributes of Ice Emperor and Snow Empress, the water attribute was more adaptable, just like the Blue Silver Grass.
"Wow! Silver Dragon King, you're my savior! I love you so much!!"
"..."
Hearing Xiao Yu's heartfelt words, the Silver Dragon King fell silent.
After thanking the Silver Dragon King, Xiao Yu began preparing to head to the ocean to hunt the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
After officially leaving seclusion, Xiao Yu spent a month with his women, ensuring they were well taken care of.
Then, he headed to the Spirit Hall.
