While the conspiracy unfolded in the Dark Iron Armored Dragon family, Yu Chen and his party had already returned safely to Shrek Academy from the Star Dou Great Forest.
"By the way, Xiao Chen,"
"In the Star Dou Great Forest, that intense draconic aura I sensed… did something extraordinary awaken?"
After Yuyuan escorted Yu Chen and the others back to Shrek Academy, he turned to Yu Chen with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin also looked at Yu Chen curiously.
They had both sensed the overwhelming pressure back in the forest—an aura that didn't belong to any ordinary soul beast.
It was the moment when Yu Chen obtained the Right Arm Bone of the True Dragon Emperor—a sacred remnant of the ancient Golden Dragon King bloodline.
"This is what I obtained," Yu Chen responded, calmly raising his right arm as he began channeling his soul power.
Buzz!
As his soul power condensed, his entire right arm was instantly covered with radiant pale golden dragon scales.
Each scale shimmered with draconic essence, exuding an aura of overwhelming might.
The air itself grew heavier, and even the surrounding soul masters felt their hearts tighten from the sheer pressure!
Especially Yuyuan and Yu Xiaogang—both possessing dragon-type martial spirits—they were more sensitive than others to the reverberations of this bloodline.
"This… is that a soul bone?! And a dragon soul bone no less!"
"Judging from the aura… it must be at least tens of thousands of years old!"
"The bloodline is purer than any ordinary dragon—it must have originated from a pure-blood dragon sovereign!"
"The value of this soul bone is… beyond estimation!"
Yuyuan and Ning Fengzhi both narrowed their eyes, shocked to their core.
As the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yuyuan had seen countless soul bones, but none compared to what Yu Chen had just displayed.
A soul bone alone was already a rare treasure—dropped only in one out of every ten thousand soul beasts slain.
But a true dragon's soul bone?
That was practically extinct in the current world!
Its appearance was enough to tempt even Titled Douluo into betrayal and murder!
Dragon soul bones, especially from ancient bloodlines like the Golden Sacred Dragon, were infinitely more precious than ordinary spirit beast remnants.
For Yu Chen to not only obtain but absorb such a treasure, was simply against the heavens!
"Chen'er, this soul bone is extremely precious. Until you fully integrate with it, you must not use it lightly."
Yuyuan placed a hand on Yu Chen's shoulder, his voice grave, though the pride in his eyes could not be hidden.
"Hah!"
"Twin peerless martial souls, four ten-thousand-year soul rings, over level 30 in cultivation… and now the right arm bone of an ancient dragon!"
"He's truly a monstrous genius!"
Yuyuan, the Wuhun Palace's dominance is only growing bolder. With talents like Yu Chen, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should stand together through alliance and blood!"
Ning Fengzhi chuckled heartily, but his tone was sincere.
Gu Rong and Chen Xin, standing behind him, exchanged glances filled with satisfaction.
Yu Chen had more than proven himself worthy in their eyes.
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's mention of an alliance through marriage, Ning Rongrong blushed furiously, lowering her head while gripping the edge of her dress, clearly flustered.
…
"You must remain vigilant—especially this little girl."
"And Xiao Chen, your right arm bone is not something the world can overlook. Even forces beyond the continent may move to seize it."
"Principal Flender, Ming Wang Fu Dong, we leave these children in your care. As for us—we must begin countermeasures against the Wuhun Hall and the Dark Iron Armored Dragon Clan."
Yuyuan didn't respond directly to Ning Fengzhi's marriage suggestion but instead looked sternly toward Xiao Wu and Yu Chen.
After a few more instructions to his daughter, Ning Fengzhi turned and departed with Yuyuan, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin.
"Respectfully sending off Blue Lightning Douluo!"
"Farewell, Bone Douluo! Farewell, Sword Douluo!"
Flender and Zhao Wuji saluted respectfully. After all, these three were among the highest-ranking Titled Douluo in the empire.
Their prestige was such that even the imperial emperor had to show respect—Flender and Zhao Wuji naturally followed suit.
Yu Xiaogang stood in silence, eyes fixed on Yuyuan's departing back.
Only when the silhouette vanished did he speak again.
"After this Star Dou trip, you should realize how terrifying true strength can be. That is why your cultivation must accelerate!"
"On the Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme. If you don't want to be prey, become the predator."
"From tomorrow, return to the Great Spirit Arena of Suotuo City and resume battles!"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes swept over each student, his tone stern and resolute.
"Yes, Master!"
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others responded with solemnity.
Yu Chen gave a small nod. After the Star Dou ordeal, none of them underestimated the journey ahead.
By the time Yu Xiaogang finished, night had completely fallen.
Yu Chen and his team returned to their dormitories.
Shua!
As soon as Yu Chen entered, he activated his [Mimic Space], encasing the entire dormitory in an isolated cultivation field.
Xiao Wu quickly washed up and sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.
After everything in the forest—and especially Yuyuan's warning—she understood one thing clearly:
She had to become stronger.
She feared the day she might lose Yu Chen.
"Silly girl."
Yu Chen reached out and gently ruffled her hair, smiling before sitting down to cultivate himself.
Knock knock!
Just as he closed his eyes, a knock echoed from the dormitory door.
Yu Chen opened it—and there stood Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
"Brother Chen, can we practice here with you?"
"We promise to be quiet… We won't disturb you at all!"
Ning Rongrong looked up shyly, her cheeks tinted with crimson.
And at that exact moment—
Ding!
