Not to mention that under the pressure of the Dragon Ascension, he had broken through and advanced to a colorful soul body at the 40‑meter Colorful Cloud realm. After that, he had also obtained the Nine‑Scale Heavenly Dragon Battle Body, which had greatly boosted his combat power.According to Albert’s estimation, even though he was only at the colorful soul body stage now, with top‑tier techniques like the Dragon Tooth Sword Formation, he was completely unafraid of any powerful enemy at the Two‑Star Primary Heavenly Spirit Realm.But that was clearly still not enough. After all, the Cave Heavenly Secret Realm would surely gather numerous prodigies from the Primary Heavenly Spirit Realm—many of them would be at the Five or Six-Star level, or even higher. If he had to compete with such opponents, he would still be outmatched.So before the secret realm opened, he had to raise his strength as much as possible.Three days later, Albert finished his secluded training and headed for the ma

Right now, the First Academy has no Head Dean, with only four Deans—the smallest number among all four academies. If a new Dean were to be added now, Kenton naturally hoped it would be someone on his side. That way, he could completely suppress Angel, and the First Academy would become his domain alone.Angel flicked a glance at Kenton at that moment, her eyebrows furrowing almost imperceptibly. She knew full well that Kenton was eyeing the newly created Dean position, and he had made thorough preparations for it.The requirements to compete for the Dean position were quite strict: one must not only have a record of service within the First Academy’s territories but also possess strength that commanded the respect of all. Few within the two realms under the First Academy’s jurisdiction met these criteria.The only two qualified city lords had already pledged their loyalty to Kenton.So under normal circumstances, the new Dean would most likely end up in Kenton’s hands.Angel understoo

Kenton’s coveting of that position had ultimately come to nothing. There was no help for it—even though Albert truly lacked deep roots in the Dragon Tooth Vein… who could blame him when the Vein Master doted on this grandson who had been stranded outside the clan since childhood?And all these actions were clearly Thomas’s way of compensating Albert.As long as Thomas remained in the Dragon Tooth Vein, no one within the Supreme Martin Clan could lay a finger on Albert.Joseph’s promotion to Dean was eventually approved smoothly. This matter undoubtedly caused quite a stir in the Dragon Tooth Vein, for the position of Dean counted among the top echelons of power, with influence not to be underestimated.Moreover, anyone could see that while Joseph’s rise was nominally recommended by Albert, it was in fact fully endorsed by the Vein Master. Otherwise, strictly by the rules, Joseph’s seniority would still have been lacking.Fortunately, Joseph had a decisive advantage: his own strength a

It’s normal you haven’t heard of it, Thomas said. Such a rare treasure is extremely hard to find even in the Inner Divine Continent. Its traces might only exist on the Otherworld Battlefield.Albert asked curiously, What does it do?Thomas paused for a moment. Do you know about the Soul Origin?Albert frowned. I think I’ve heard of it. It seems to be something one only truly touches upon at the Heavenly Spirit Realm.Thomas nodded. The so-called Soul Origin can be understood as a deeper comprehension of your own soul laws. Generally, you can only sense and evolve it after reaching the Heavenly Spirit Realm. And this Soul Origin is also crucial for advancing to the God Realm in the future. Those who fail to comprehend the Soul Origin will never be able to forge a God Platform.It is the foundation of the God Realm!Albert’s eyes sharpened immediately. Without forging a God Platform, one could never step into the God Realm. He had not expected the Soul Origin to be so important.Anyone

And in that instant, a dragon-shaped mark appeared between Albert’s eyebrows. Within the mark, nine dragon scales blazed with dazzling radiance, as if a dragon’s roar resounded.As the dragon-shaped mark erupted, Albert’s body swelled slightly. Dragon scales began to grow across his skin, and even his fingertips transformed into sharp dragon claws, exuding a cold, sharp glow.At this moment, Albert was like a half-dragon clad in dragon scales!A clear sound echoed from between his eyebrows. The black thorn wreathed in faint light collided with the dragon-shaped mark but failed to pierce through. Instead, it was blocked and shattered, dissolving into faint radiance.Nevertheless, Albert’s head rang with a buzz, and he stumbled back dozens of steps before steadying himself, shaken but unharmed.Then, with a cold gaze, he stared into the distance. The ordinary fiend that had launched the attack swelled rapidly, growing to hundreds of meters in size.It had multiple heads and arms, a fero
