Yu Xiaogang, Flanders, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wujie stared at Wang Li, their faces filled with disbelief.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe it. Wang Li, who only had innate soul power of level three, should have struggled his entire life between the ranks of Great Soul Master and Soul Exalted, just like himself. How could it be possible that he had reached the rank of Soul King...?

Flanders, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wujie were equally stunned. Their innate talents weren't bad, but it was only when they were in their late twenties, approaching thirty, that they had finally managed to break through the fifty-level mark.

As for the Shrek Seven Devils, they too were considered geniuses, having undergone the Master's brutal training. Even so, only Dai Mubai and Tang San had reached the Soul Emperor level.

Wang Li, who was nearly the same age as them, was so far ahead in soul power cultivation that they couldn't even catch a glimpse of his back.

With a relaxed smile, Wang Li said,

"There's no need to be so surprised. To achieve this level of strength, I've been trained to the point of life and death under my grandfather's guidance."

"On the other hand, Tang San, just now Flanders told me that the journey from Soto City to Heaven Dou City isn't easy. Under such conditions, you managed to reach Soul Master before fourteen. You really are the same Tang San I know—your talent and aptitude are truly top-tier."

"And Xiao Wu, you're not far behind either, right?"

Tang San gritted his teeth, feeling a sense of frustration. In order to speed up his cultivation, he had even borrowed the Eight Spider Spears, but he still couldn't catch up with Wang Li.

Why was that?

Was it really because of Wang Li's innate third-level soul power? Did the guidance and resources from Titled Douluo really make that much of a difference?

Then why didn't I have those...

Xiao Wu looked at Wang Li, feeling a bit timid. There was something about Wang Li that made her feel like she had returned to the Star Dou Forest—there was a natural aura to him. But Wang Li's gaze felt as if he could see right through her.

She felt uneasy, yet when facing Wang Li's inquiry, she still stood tall, trying to appear confident, just like the big sister she used to be. With a carefree attitude, she replied,

"I'm at level thirty-eight now, and I'll be reaching level forty very soon."

Wang Li knew that Xiao Wu hadn't consumed any fairy herbs, yet during the Soul Master competition, she had managed to reach level forty, condense her soul ring, and become a Soul Emperor.

Her transformation as a soul beast made her a top-tier talent among humans, allowing for rapid cultivation.

However, in order to prevent Dugu Yan from reaching the rank of Soul Douluo before becoming a Titled Douluo, Xiao Wu was killed before she could absorb any more soul rings or bones. Wang Li reminded her:

"I do believe in you, but you need to speed up your progress. Aim to break through before the Soul Master Competition begins. Once the competition starts, even in the Heaven Dou City qualifier, there will be Soul Douluos, and even Titled Douluos, coming to watch."

"The main competition in Spirit City will have many Titled Douluos present. If you manage to catch their attention, your future will be limitless."

After hearing Wang Li's words, Xiao Wu's face turned pale, and her rabbit ears drooped. If a Titled Douluo took notice of her, she might end up as a dead rabbit, with no future left at all.

Fortunately, Wang Li's words drew everyone's attention, and no one noticed her unusual reaction.

At this moment, Wang Li continued,

"Let me introduce myself properly. My name is Wang Li. My martial soul is mutated Blue Silver Grass. As for my soul power, I think you can get a sense of it for yourselves."

His gaze swept across the group:

"So, what about you? I think I should get to know you all too!"

The Shrek Seven Devils, apart from Tang San and Xiao Wu, exchanged glances. It seemed they hadn't officially introduced themselves yet.

Dai Mubai stepped forward, his sharp eyes staring at Wang Li. Though he was extremely unwilling, he had to admit that he was no match for him. He spoke:

"I'm Dai Mubai, my martial soul is the White Tiger, and I'm a level forty-two Soul Emperor."

Oscar was the second to introduce himself. His clean-shaven face, distinct features, and peach blossom eyes made him instantly memorable.

"I'm Oscar, my martial soul is the Sausage, and I'm a level thirty-five Soul Exalted."

Ma Hongjun was the third to introduce himself, his chubby face and large frame leaving a strong impression:

"I'm Ma Hongjun, my martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, and I'm a level thirty-four Soul Exalted."

Zhu Zhuqing was fourth. Her youthful face, fiery figure, and cool voice gave her a distinct presence:

"I'm Zhu Zhuqing, my martial soul is the Ghost Leopard, and I'm a level thirty-four Soul Exalted."

Ning Rongrong was fifth. With her cute face, slender figure, and lively personality, she spoke cheerfully:

"I'm Ning Rongrong, my martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and I'm a level thirty-three Soul Exalted."

Upon hearing this, Wang Li seemed curious and asked, even though he already knew the answer:

"Ning Rongrong, your martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Does that mean you're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Ning Rongrong proudly responded:

"The current sect master is my father!"

Wang Li seemed to have a sudden realization and smiled:

"So, your team—two Soul Emperors, five Soul Elder—would be considered a second-tier team. It wouldn't be able to match up to a first-tier team. However, with the aid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, you might still have a chance to pass the preliminaries."

"In the upcoming Soul Master Competition, six first-tier teams will compete. Our Heaven Dou Team is already guaranteed a spot in the finals. The other five first-tier teams come from Five Elements Academy, which is an established powerhouse. At least three of them are Soul Emperors, and four are Soul Elder. If you want to make it, you'll need to match up with one of them."

Wang Li seemed genuinely concerned about the Shrek Seven Devils. Thanks to Qin Ming, he had gained an identity close to theirs, which allowed him to better gauge when an opportunity might arise.

When the conversation turned serious, Yu Xiaogang, Flanders, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wujie all looked stern. Even the Shrek Seven Devils wore serious expressions.

In truth, Yu Xiaogang wasn't pleased. His carefully trained team had been labeled as second-tier by Wang Li, yet he had no rebuttal. After all, their soul power levels were evident.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Oscar spoke up:

"It's not just Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. My Sausage martial soul also provides support. With both of our auxiliary abilities, everyone's combat power and stamina will be greatly enhanced. We're sure to make it through."

Wang Li smiled indifferently:

"Let's hope so. Five Elements Academy, Elephant Armor Academy, Blaze Fire Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Thunder Academy, and Water Academy—all of them have perfected a single attribute to the highest level."

"If you want to make it through, you'll need to figure out which academy you should target and outclass. By the way, Tang San…"

"Has your martial soul mutated too? Your Blue Silver Grass doesn't seem like a normal Blue Silver Grass anymore. Could you tell us about the soul beasts of your four soul rings?"

Wang Li's curiosity was piqued. He wondered about Tang San's fourth soul ring, the purple one—where did it come from?

Tang San was silent for a moment. He had once been a normal Blue Silver Grass, but after absorbing soul rings, it had mutated. He spoke:

"My first soul ring is from a 400-year-old Mantis Snake, my second is from a 600-year-old Ghost Vine, my third is from a 2,000-year-old Demon Face Spider, and my fourth is from a 6,000-year-old Demon Face Spider!"
