Yun Ming did not beat around the bush—he spoke cleanly and directly: “Na’er, I came here to ask you a question face to face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does your spear Dao have a master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Self-taught!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er’s voice rang clear, her face brimming with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true—the Spirit Transmission Tower had no sealed Douluo of the Spear God realm, so Leng Yaoju could only find spear soul experts; Na’er’s spear Dao was largely self-developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just four years, she had penetrated the essence of the spear intent—most of the credit belonged to her half-body’s Silver Dragon King’s innate brilliance and the Spirit Transmission Tower’s collection of ancient spear techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forged the Silver Dragon Spear Intent by absorbing the strengths of a hundred schools, using that intent to protect those she cherished—this was the spear Dao she had cultivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four words “self-taught” sounded like celestial music, equivalent to “I’m a wild genius with no teacher.” Yun Ming’s face broke into a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Na’er, your talent is extraordinary. I believe the Spirit Transmission Tower values you deeply, but they cannot find you a master who teaches the Spear God path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you know my name, you must have some understanding of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no descendants, no disciples. I possess complete mastery of the Spear God, yet I have found no one to inherit it. Therefore, I wish to take you as my direct disciple and pass on the Pillar of Heaven spear Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Elder Pillar of Heaven, for your esteem—but I have already joined the Spirit Transmission Tower and cannot switch sects to become your Sea God Pavilion disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er held firm to her principles, shaking her head like a rattle drum—loyalty and righteousness were the pillars of life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ming was momentarily stunned. In his hundred years of life, he had once been the envy of his peers, then the ultimate quasi-god revered by all soul masters on the continent. Countless golden honors had never been denied him—yet his first defeat came at the hands of a ten-year-old girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mingge, explain more clearly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere seemed to freeze; Ya Li broke the silence, scolding Yun Ming gently, then fixed her emerald-green eyes on Na’er and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Na’er, becoming the Sea God Pavilion’s disciple does not mean you sever ties completely with the Spirit Transmission Tower, or cut yourself off from Xuanzhen, Yaoju, and the others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Ice Douluo founded the Spirit Transmission Tower, and its first master was the Sea God Pavilion’s Lord—Xuanzi, the Gluttony Douluo, your ancestor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shrek Academy and the Spirit Transmission Tower were originally one family. Of course, I do not deny that over the long centuries, the two factions gradually developed tensions, even becoming nearly strangers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Na’er, becoming the Sea God Pavilion’s disciple and joining Shrek Academy is a turning point. Your childhood bond with Xuanzhen will cause the two factions to mend their rift, returning to the closeness they shared ten thousand years ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Sacred Spirit, I still prefer to remain loyal to one path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er’s face grew slightly cold, her expression unyielding—Ya Li’s words had missed the mark. In her view, the Spirit Transmission Tower had no need to reconcile with Shrek Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme—power determines superiority. Because the Pillar of Heaven Douluo and the Light-Dark Douluo had both beaten the Spirit Transmission Tower’s master, Shrek Academy had firmly held the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next generation of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Zhao Xuanzhen is an unprecedented divine-level physical martial soul, and Na’er is the Silver Dragon King’s half-body, wielding the divine artifact, the Silver Dragon Spear—they are certain quasi-gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget the hidden boss Gu Yue, the divine craftsman disciple Jiutian who is close to Zhao Xuanzhen, and even the Bai sisters with their martial soul fusion technique—the Spirit Transmission Tower’s faction is the strongest on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Shrek Academy cannot find a single young student who dares to guarantee they will break through to quasi-god status—it has already revealed itself as being crushed under the Spirit Transmission Tower’s heel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the gap between the top experts of the two factions is so vast, Na’er believed the Spirit Transmission Tower could even overturn the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Pillar of Heaven Douluo dares to raid the War God Hall for Ya Li, the Spirit Transmission Tower will raid the entire Shrek Academy—there will be no Shrek Academy on the Douluo Continent anymore; only one king remains—the Spirit Transmission Academy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yun Ming and Ya Li were completely unaware that the silver-haired girl’s veins pulsed with the blood of dragon conquest—they merely saw a peerless spear Dao genius who had entered Shrek Academy, and could not bear to let such an heir slip from their grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Na’er seemed resolute in staying with the Spirit Transmission Tower, Yun Ming sighed softly and decided to change tactics for one more attempt: “Na’er, you don’t understand—going from spear intent to spear soul, and from spear soul to spear god, each step forward is a tremendous trial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without a senior’s guidance, your future spear Dao will not proceed smoothly. The Spirit Transmission Tower cannot give you spear Dao guidance—only Shrek Academy can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let us speak through our spears—experience it firsthand, and perhaps you will change your mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing Yun Ming intended to lure her with combat, Na’er’s eyes flashed, a sly smile curving her lips:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to fight… unless, Elder Pillar of Heaven, you agree to one request.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shrek Academy’s inner disciples get one chance at Golden Tree enlightenment. Elder, make an exception—allow me and Zhao Xuanzhen to enter for enlightenment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spent four years together, Na’er could clearly sense Zhao Xuanzhen’s aversion to entering the inner academy, yet his intense interest in the Golden Tree enlightenment—so she proposed this condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Golden Tree…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ming fell silent in thought. Golden Tree enlightenment itself wasn’t especially precious—it was merely an inner disciple benefit; non-inner disciples found it difficult to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sea God Pavilion master, Yun Ming had the authority to reward two Shrek students with Golden Tree enlightenment, and precedent existed—it wasn’t even breaking rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao had once been permitted by the Dragon God Douluo Mu En to enter early for enlightenment, ultimately finding their own paths and forging a lasting bond between Shrek Academy and the Tang Men, becoming a celebrated tale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Defeat me, and you both earn the right to Golden Tree enlightenment,” Yun Ming said slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Defeat… you? Me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er’s face paled—she’d only wanted to secure a favor for Zhao Xuanzhen, not to challenge a mountain with a fly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry,” Yun Ming chuckled. “I’ll suppress my soul power to thirty-one levels, reduce my Spear God intent to mere spear intent, and forgo soul rings, soul bones, and the Pillar of Heaven Divine Spear—I’ll fight only with spear technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you have no restrictions—you may use all your abilities freely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about it? Dare you fight the Sea God Pavilion master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three thousand-year soul rings erupted violently; Na’er gripped the Silver Dragon Spear, its silver tip pointing skyward, its blade shimmering with moonlight-like radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ming’s smile didn’t fade; he traced the air several times with his fingertip, and a wooden spear appeared in his hand. Don’t underestimate the wooden spear—in the Pillar of Heaven Douluo’s hands, it was no less potent than any top-tier martial soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood facing each other, their aura currents silently clashing, searching for flaws in each other’s energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Catch this spear!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er’s eyes flashed two sharp beams; with a clear dragon cry, the Silver Dragon Spear tore through the mist, stabbing straight for Yun Ming’s brow. The spear’s tip had not yet arrived, but its wind had already scattered the strands of hair on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver Dragon Spear surged forward; Yun Ming remained utterly calm, his wooden spear crossing to block the silver one—the two spears scraped, sparks flying. The next instant, the silver spear split into seven points of cold starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Catch another!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the girl cried out, silver spearlight surged like a tidal wave toward her opponent, the wind whipping their robes. Yun Ming, Zhongjiu  an ultimate Douluo, possessed experience and technique far beyond Na’er’s reach—his wooden spear perfectly blocked every thrust of the Silver Dragon Spear, his calm demeanor embodying the demeanor of a grand master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to break through with direct assault, Na’er suddenly dropped low, sliding along the ground; the Silver Dragon Spear reversed, striking like a venomous snake at Yun Ming’s knee. Yun Ming planted his wooden spear into the earth, using it to leap upward, flipping midair like a kite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, elders would yield three moves to juniors; three moves had passed. Yun Ming immediately launched his own offense—his body landed as his spear shaft swept like a thousand soldiers, an unstoppable force forcing Na’er to retreat step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To enter the Golden Tree, this isn’t enough,” Yun Ming said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The provocation failed; Na’er grew even more composed and focused. Her second soul skill, Silver Dragon Rage, erupted—the silver dragon coiled and roared, her elemental power surged, her slender body becoming a silver phantom as she charged forward without hesitation toward Yun Ming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single point of cold light arrived first, then the spear emerged like a dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pillar of Heaven spear intent surged wildly; the wooden spear swept with the force to cleave mountains, the Gangfeng  it generated slicing a thousand-year tree in half at waist height. Na’er arched her waist like a willow branch—the wooden spear grazed her nose tip. The Silver Dragon Spear suddenly rose upward. Yun Ming slammed his spear shaft into the ground, using the rebound to flip into the air, his wooden spear plummeting like a falling star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body moved like a graceful crane spreading wings; the Silver Dragon Spear slid up along the wooden spear, sparks flying from blade friction. Na’er roared, the Silver Dragon Spear trembling violently—she twisted it, sweeping the wooden spear aside, then drove the tip straight toward Yun Ming’s waist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid countless shadows, the two figures rose and fell, clashed and spun—each move displayed exquisite skill. Outsiders saw spectacle; experts saw the art. Watching from the side, the Sacred Spirit Douluo Ya Li’s eyes widened, unwilling to miss a single detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Yun Ming’s soul power suppressed to thirty-one levels, a single wooden spear could crush ninety-eight percent of four-ring Soul Ancestors on the Douluo Continent. She knew Na’er was strong—but still underestimated this girl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dragon Flash Shadow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sweep the Mountains!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Herald of the Falling Swallow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver-white spear shadows wove a dense net; the “Herald of the Falling Swallow” diverted the downward-swinging wooden spear to the side. The ground cracked like spiderwebs beneath their footwork; the ripples from their spear blades expanded, crossed, and overlapped endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attack and defense switched constantly; the large and the small fought back and forth, each drawing upon their lifetime’s knowledge with ease. In the battle, their differences became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver Dragon Spear was light and fluid, endlessly variable; the wooden spear was broad and forceful, embodying the Pillar of Heaven—unbreakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two spear intents clashed, the fierce dragon roars and ringing spear cries echoing across the Sea God Island, drawing the spiritual attention of the Sea God Pavilion’s elders. When they saw it was the Pillar of Heaven Douluo Yun Ming, they were surprised; when they saw the silver-haired girl holding her own against him, their jaws nearly dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still unable to gain the upper hand, Na’er’s gaze grew intensely serious. Her snow-white, slender left leg glowed; the air rippled with a mercury-like sheen, and a silver-white domain erupted—revealing the shadow of the Thorned Dragon Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten-thousand-year Thorned Dragon Emperor left leg soul bone skill: Thorned Space Battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest area technique of the Thorned Dragon clan—it suppresses the opponent with spatial binding and absorbs spatial energy to amplify the user. Within the Thorned Space Battlefield, the user gains continuous teleportation, allowing repeated use without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ming’s body tensed; the surrounding space thickened like mud. The girl teleported behind him, swinging the Silver Dragon Spear in a blinding white arc—the cold light resembled a real silver dragon, lunging to devour Yun Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Na’er believed her ten-thousand-year soul bone technique had succeeded in a surprise strike, Yun Ming taught her a lesson—his wooden spear tip snapped upward with explosive force, transmitting power through the shaft—it was the Spear Technique: “Crack Spear.” He spun and struck, piercing through the silver dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire space battlefield began vibrating intensely; the Thorned Dragon Emperor’s shadow cracked apart. Dozens of silver-white thorns, each several meters long, erupted into the air, piercing the boundary between reality and the space battlefield, creating overlapping ripples—as if a million stones had been thrown into a lake at once. A silver-white thorn flower burst into full bloom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thorned Dragon Emperor’s second skill: Ten-Thousand-Direction Thorned Spears!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ming, fired up, swung his wooden spear with force that shook Kunlun—the terrifying power shattered the thorn flower. The Pillar of Heaven Douluo showed Na’er with action: even the so-called invincible ten-thousand-year soul techniques were powerless against true masters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both ten-thousand-year soul techniques failed, yet Na’er did not lose heart. Her silver-white eyes blazed with brilliant light; her bloodline aura surged powerfully. Purple light flared—her pupils contracted into the cold, vertical pupils of a dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blinding silver-white flames erupted—instantly, Na’er’s entire body turned white-hot, her aura skyrocketing. She attacked Yun Ming with a sweeping spear strike; he reacted swiftly, lifting his wooden spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the Silver Dragon Spear halted mid-swing—the sweeping motion instantly transformed into a thrusting strike, the transition so swift it was utterly unpredictable, as if one could never guess where the next spear would go!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-air, Na’er’s slender body spun like a top, the silver spear hurtling like a comet toward Yun Ming’s face. As he crossed his spear to block, Na’er suddenly released her grip—the Silver Dragon Spear was flung away by the wooden spear, which then rose Shunshi .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Na’er concentrated all her soul power at her third eye. A twisted silver-white beam blasted toward the wooden spear—the external soul bone: Evil Eye Tyrant, Shatter-Space Light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of space-shattering exploded—the wooden spear shattered instantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er teleported, grasped the Silver Dragon Spear, and pointed its gleaming tip at Yun Ming’s throat, her face beaming with triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, feint!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clever tactic. You win.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden spear broken, the outcome was clear. Yun Ming’s eyes shone with unhidden admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In spear technique, Na’er could never match Yun Ming. Once she realized this, she immediately devised a way to break the deadlock—shatter the wooden spear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sea God Pavilion master keeps his word, right?” Na’er confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll wait for you both at the Sea God Pavilion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunming nodded slightly, and the couple departed together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they had gone a distance, Yali could no longer suppress her curiosity: “Ming-ge, did you let her go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At first I intended to let her go. Even ordinary fishermen bait their spots—how much more so for attracting a core disciple of the Spirit Tower? Besides, attaining enlightenment beneath the Golden Tree isn’t precious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s funny—I got so absorbed in sparring with her that I completely forgot to leave an opening. This child’s talent is simply astonishing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The little girl still doesn’t seem to want to become your disciple,” Yali teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunming held his wife’s soft palm and said, “There’ll be plenty of chances later. Let’s try to connect with her again. After this battle, she should realize that studying spear Dao with me is the right choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why am I so amazing? Even the Pillar of Heaven Douluo isn’t that great—why bother taking a master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the wooden dormitory, the silver-haired girl curled into her blanket, lazily propping up her legs. The white glow from her soul tool communicator illuminated her exquisite face with joy. She opened the chat window with her childhood friend and typed furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er: Idiot Zhao Xuanzhen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen: 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er: What are you doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen: The Xuanlong Street redesign plan is finalized. I’m heading back to the dorm to bathe and meditate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er: Bathing (lewd)—who are you trying to tempt?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen: Fine, then I’ll go boil myself like pork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er: Good little piggy~ Tomorrow I’ll take you to attain enlightenment beneath the Golden Tree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen: What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er: Little Zhenzi, don’t you owe me thanks? (ω)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen: !!
