Breaking Clan.
Clan Leader Yang Wudi and two elders sat in the family's not-so-large living room.
"After our Breaking Clan became famous this time, I'm afraid we will attract more attention from those sects under Spirit Hall."
"Dogs!"
"They're always looking to please their master."
The three highest leaders of the family gathered together today specifically to discuss how to walk the path ahead.
"This step must be taken sooner or later!"
If the Breaking Clan wanted to turn the tables, there would always be a day when they would be noticed by the entire Douluo Continent.
Unless they continued to be dogs!
"The Continental Advanced Academy Soul Master Elite Tournament will begin in three days."
"Announce it tomorrow..."
"Our Breaking Clan will provide free injury treatment medicine for the students participating in this Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
As soon as Yang Wudi's decision was announced, the two elders' eyes immediately lit up.
Of course, they understood Yang's intention in doing this.
The two elders immediately indicated their agreement.
"Mm..."
"Let's do it this way."
Yang Wudi doing this was not only to deal with the trouble that might be encountered after the Breaking Clan suddenly became famous.
It was also for the future of the Breaking Clan...
He had calculated!
There were not many participating students from the Continental Soul Master Academies, even including eating and taking, it would only cost the Breaking Clan the price of 50,000 gold soul coins.
However...
If things went smoothly, this Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament could let the entire Douluo Continent recognize the Breaking Clan's Blood Coagulation Powder.
This was the goal Yang Wudi wanted to achieve!
"Good!"
"I will first convey this message to every clansman and let them take action."
"Tomorrow I will go to contact the committee of the Star Luo Region for this Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
Although the Breaking Clan was down on its luck, every clansman had a high degree of cohesion.
When the family's order was issued, the entire Breaking Clan immediately started to mobilize.
...
On the other side.
Yang Fan decided to leave the Breaking Clan again to carry out his next stage of cultivation.
This decision was not a whim, but a decision he had carefully considered before returning to the Breaking Clan.
He wanted to become stronger!
And to do this, he must continuously search for flames that he could devour, thereby allowing the Flame Mantra to evolve.
He also needed to obtain more soul bones to refine high-quality medicinal pills.
These... Yunluo City could not give him!
"Brat, have you really decided?"
This time Yang Wudi did not refuse.
Because he knew there was an amazing master behind Yang Fan, this kid following his master was even safer than staying by his side.
"Yes!"
Yang Fan nodded.
This decision had never changed in his heart from beginning to end.
"If you've decided, then go."
"When there's a chance, Grandpa will go to Tian Dou City to see you."
Different from before...
This time when Yang Fan left, he told his grandpa the places he might go.
Of course... he only told Grandpa!
...
The next day.
Yang Fan left.
He left Yunluo City quietly without disturbing anyone.
The route Yang Fan chose this time was the same as before.
Cutting across from Great Star Dou Forest, then entering the territory of Tian Dou Empire.
"Master!"
"Do you have any good ideas for my next stage of cultivation?"
Yang Fan asked.
"Good ideas?"
"Search for flames that can allow your Flame Mantra to evolve, constantly tempering your Dou Qi and soul power."
There were no shortcuts to cultivation!
All Yao Lao could do was prevent Yang Fan from taking detours during this process.
This alone had already let him far lead the vast majority of cultivators!
"Alright then."
Yang Fan decided to go to Tian Dou City first to find Huo Wu and give her the answer from over a month ago.
He decided to temporarily join the Blazing Fire Academy!
Whether to obtain a soul bone by participating in the next Soul Master Academy tournament he had not yet decided, but registering a name in advance never hurt.
Blazing Fire Academy!
An old academy with several hundred years of history, very proficient in fire attribute martial souls.
For him, a soul master who also belonged to the fire attribute, there was always something to be instructed on.
Joining the Blazing Fire Academy was a decision made after he and Yao Lao discussed, and also his grandpa Yang Wudi's idea.
The only thing lacking confidence was that after giving Grandpa two immortal grade medicinal herbs, the inventory was no longer so substantial.
But seemingly there was no rush...
Worst case scenario, just go to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and dig out two more plants.
Anyway, this time the master and disciple's decision was made, after going there there was no need to worry about Dugu Bo not giving.
...
Night.
A bonfire burned fiercely within the soul beast forest.
After ten days, Yang Fan had successfully entered the territory of the Tian Dou Empire.
"Master?"
"How can one judge whether there is a Beast Flame inside a soul beast?"
Just like the Explosive Flame Tiger last time, if it weren't for Yao Lao's reminder, he would have had no idea that brute's body possessed a Beast Flame.
"Flames!"
"The quality of the flame released by a soul beast possessing a Source Flame will be much higher in terms of purity and heat."
"This is one of the standards to judge whether they possess a Source Flame inside."
What Yao Lao said was simple, but for Yang Fan it was as if he said nothing at all.
Ultimately, his soul power was still insufficient, and he lacked experience with Beast Flames.
The quality of the flame released by a 30,000-year Explosive Flame Tiger was naturally much higher than that of a 3,000-year one.
However, the essential difference within...
"Actually, you don't need to worry about this problem too much, if you're not sure, in the future just melt the soul beast's corpse and you'll eventually understand it."
The method was tedious, but intuitive and effective.
And most suitable for an inexperienced novice like him!
The master and disciple pair were talking and laughing… when
Suddenly!
The abnormal sound within the soul beast forest made Yang Fan's nerves instantly tighten.
His palm pushed outward!
The bursting Dou Qi made the bonfire in front extinguish instantly, and the surrounding area fell into darkness.
Not long after...
In the dark night, a figure was flashing and maneuvering.
Although it was in the dark night, Yang Fan still saw that it was a pink figure.
Xiao Wu?
Yang Fan, relying on his sharpness as a transmigrator, had already guessed the identity of this pink figure from its shape.
That's right... it was Xiao Wu!
At this time, Xiao Wu had also stopped, the experience of a 100,000-year soul beast seemed to have let her discover something.
"This little girl... this is..."
"Not ordinary!"
"Truly amazing!"
Although Yao Lao was not a Titled Douluo, he still discovered Xiao Wu's soul beast identity at a glance.
The reason why a 100,000-year soul beast was nowhere to hide before a Titled Douluo was not because of spiritual power, but because of spiritual power's detection of the opponent.
Why didn't Dugu Bo discover Xiao Wu's identity in the original work?
Ultimately, it was because he was too weak!
"This... this is actually a transformed soul beast."
Even Yao Lao, who was rich in experience, couldn't help but be surprised at this time, after all, this kind of thing was truly too rare.
"Yes!"
Yang Fan took a bite of a biscuit, inexplicably feeling a trace of sweetness.
