Yuyuan stood tall, surrounded by nine dazzling spirit rings, radiating boundless spirit power. His sharp eyes were filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
Ever since Yuchen awakened his second martial soul—Vermilion Bird—and triggered a shocking upheaval across the continent, Yuyuan had left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and made his way to Shrek Academy.
As the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a powerhouse who stood at the summit of the Heaven Dou Empire, Yuyuan instantly recognized the origin of those attacking Yuchen—the Dark Iron Armored Dragon Clan of the Jialuo Empire!
"Blue Lightning Douluo!"
The moment Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others saw Yuyuan appear, along with Shrek Academy's principal Flender and the academy's teachers, their expressions instantly shifted to ones of deep respect.
The Title Douluo Realm represented the pinnacle of power within the Heaven Dou Empire—those who stood there were bestowed a title as a mark of supreme might.
Yuyuan, being the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, had earned the formidable title: Blue Lightning Douluo.
A Title Douluo—an existence revered above all!
However, unlike the awe shown by the others, Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen when he saw Yuyuan. His expression dimmed, full of mixed emotions.
"Blue Lightning Douluo?!"
"Retreat!"
The remnants of the Dark Iron Armored Dragon Clan were thrown into utter panic. Only a handful remained alive, and upon seeing Yuyuan, their pupils constricted in dread.
Of course they had heard of the Blue Lightning Douluo—one of the most terrifying Titled Douluo in the empire.
Yuchen had already rendered them crippled. Now, with Yuyuan's arrival, it was clear—they had been completely crushed!
If they lingered any longer, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to escape their fate.
"You came so easily… and now you think you can leave just like that?!"
Before they could flee, Yuchen, suspended mid-air, took a single step forward and raised his hand.
Roar!
With a wave of his palm, his soul power surged forth, condensing into a torrent of dragon shadows. In his grasp, four golden dragons howled as they burst forth!
Under the influence of his [Title Douluo Exclusive Card], these golden dragons were forged from supreme power—unstoppable!
As beams of golden light stretched across the skies, the dragons descended like divine judgment, their roars shaking the heavens.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The brilliance of the attack engulfed the area. Whether elders or disciples of the Dark Iron Armored Dragon Clan, not a single one remained alive.
"Too… too strong!"
"Brother Chen, what the hell just happened? How are you fighting like a Title Douluo, smashing those old monsters of the Jialuo Empire?!"
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others stared wide-eyed. In their eyes, Yuchen had ascended to the level of a god. Shock and admiration surged in their hearts, their reverence deepening.
"Chen'er… how do you possess the strength of a Title Douluo? And your martial soul… it transformed into the supreme bloodline of our clan—the Ninth-Rank Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?!"
Yuyuan, descending from the sky, retracted his martial soul and spirit rings. Landing before Yuchen, his perpetually calm face showed a rare trace of emotion—excitement and disbelief.
To others, Yuchen's strength was astonishing. But for Yuyuan, it was utterly earth-shattering. In mere moments, Yuchen had surpassed the limits and summoned the legendary Ninth-Rank Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
Even Yu Xiaogang and Flender couldn't help but cast complicated looks toward Yuchen. What he had displayed far exceeded imagination.
"This was a one-time ability unlocked during my martial soul awakening," Yuchen said calmly, his spirit power dissipating as he withdrew the dragon into his body.
He had used the [Title Douluo Exclusive Card] in that critical moment. The effect had now ended, and rather than explaining its mysterious source, Yuchen gave a vague but convincing response. He had no intention of revealing the system.
"I knew it had something to do with Brother Chen's insane martial soul!"
Ma Hongjun, with his bright red hair, nodded repeatedly as if everything made sense now.
The teachers and principal of Shrek exchanged glances, their expressions echoing the same sentiment.
"I see."
Yuyuan nodded slightly. "Actually, when Chen'er awakened his martial soul, I expected powerful enemies to target him. But I didn't anticipate it would be the Dark Iron Armored Dragon Clan of the Jialuo Empire."
"The Heaven Dou and Jialuo Empires have always had strained relations. Now that they've made a move, other factions will follow."
"You must be extremely cautious from now on. If danger arises, use the family token immediately!"
Yuyuan's tone turned solemn as he looked at Yuchen with seriousness.
"Yes, Father."
Yuchen nodded respectfully.
"Xiaogang… take good care of your younger brother."
"You two should visit the clan when you can. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Since the Dark Iron Armored Dragon Clan dared to act, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will naturally repay the favor!"
After giving instructions, Yuyuan glanced at Yu Xiaogang. Though his expression was calm, his eyes flickered with icy light as he turned and left the academy grounds.
"Farewell, Blue Lightning Douluo!"
"Farewell, Blue Lightning Douluo!"
Flender and the teachers all bowed respectfully as Yuyuan departed.
"Father… he asked me to return home…"
Yu Xiaogang, standing beside Yuchen, murmured, eyes red. "He's… not angry? I always thought my martial soul's mutation shamed him… and that my uselessness had made him disappointed in me…"
Just then, a familiar chime rang out in Yuchen's mind.

As Yu Xiaogang stood there, overcome with regret, the system's options echoed one after another within Yuchen's thoughts…
