Due to Shrek Academy’s towering reputation, the top spot on the Young Genius Rankings had always belonged to Shrek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Xu Tianzhao was one of the rare exceptions: his veins pulsed with pure Solar-Lunar imperial blood, and he was barely two years older than Tang Dong. Their peak periods nearly overlapped; until Xu Tianzhao turned eighteen, Tang Dong had always remained second, never ascending to first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiji Zhao Xuanzhen, the hottest young genius in recent years, burst onto the scene by defeating Shrek Academy’s representative team with overwhelming force, crushing Lan Yu Yuanheng and sending shockwaves through the soul master world. He then climbed steadily, defeating the top four contenders one by one to claim the top rank, simultaneously breaking the record for the youngest ever Young Genius Rankings champion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Tianzhao dominated the juniors, Zhao Xuanzhen surpassed the seniors; when compared horizontally, Tang Dong resembled a tragic, caught-in-the-middle transitional figure—fronted by a ferocious wolf and backed by a ferocious tiger, the Ultimate Ice barely scraped by in misery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the main gate of the Solar-Lunar Imperial Soul Mechanist Academy, multiple media outlets stood ready, determined to capture every detail and moment of the event—regardless of the outcome, this battle was destined to be etched into history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sssss—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A steel behemoth executed a flawless drift, its four doors bursting open as six young men and women stepped down from the soul mechanism vehicle. Their instructor, Shen Yi, descended from the sky amid a flurry of flashing cameras, and the seven strode forward with unwavering steps into the Solar-Lunar Imperial Soul Master Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Solar-Lunar Imperial Soul Mechanist Academy dedicated itself to soul mechanism technology; everything in sight glowed with a metallic sheen. At the center of the hall floated a massive metal sphere, its inner core pulsing with immense soul power, illuminating the academy hall with unusual brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dean of Instruction had been waiting long, and upon seeing the seven representatives of Shrek Academy, a cold smile curled on his lips as he gestured for them to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator carried them directly to the battlefield meticulously prepared by the Solar-Lunar Imperial Soul Mechanist Academy—the Zero Arena. Two colossal arched gates swung open, and a deafening roar of noise, wild and fervent, surged toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zero Arena was modeled after ancient gladiatorial arenas, over fifteen hundred meters in diameter, with seating capable of holding one hundred fifty thousand spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stands were packed to capacity: the academy’s own students numbered only ten thousand; the rest were mainstream media, soul master academies from Mingdu and surrounding cities, and high-ranking officials of the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Mo Hongchen had ordered an open-door policy—everyone was welcome to witness the glorious downfall of Shrek Academy and the glorious coronation of the Solar-Lunar Imperial Soul Mechanist Academy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the six students and their teacher stepped into the Zero Arena, the roaring stands fell silent for an instant—fifteen thousand pairs of eyes locked onto the seven tiny figures—then erupted into an unprecedented tidal wave of noise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not Shrek Academy’s home ground of Shrek City—it was Mingdu, built after the Great Solar-Lunar Darkness Explosion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninety percent of the spectators harbored boundless hostility toward the Shrek students; when countless furious roars and glares converged, they inevitably exerted considerable psychological pressure on the Shrek students’ spirit and composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing such a hellish battlefield, even merely entering it placed immense pressure on the six youths’ hearts. Xu Xiaoyan, the weakest in mental resilience, had already turned slightly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shrek will win! Class President is invincible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From one corner of the stands came an abrupt cheer—it was the entire first-year Class One. They had learned Zhao Xuanzhen would fight in the second match between the two academies and rushed from all directions to support their class president.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen turned toward the sound and saw the familiar, flushed, bloodshot faces—and noticed the weary, dimmed figures of Tang Wulin and the others. The culprits met Zhao Xuanzhen’s gaze and lowered their heads in slight panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen waved to his classmates, smiled, and strode confidently into the Zero Arena. Soul masters each walk their own path—he chose the path of confronting his true self, proving his Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen never denied his desire to possess the Golden-Water Harmony and the Silver Dragon Dragon Core—but he also bore responsibility: the duty of a first-year class president, to restore his class’s honor after their defeat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side of the Zero Arena stood many Solar-Lunar Imperial Soul Master students clad in white uniforms. Aside from the central, sinisterly charismatic Xu Tianzhao, the rest were roughly the same age as first-years—under fifteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same as last time? Still six?” Xu Tianzhao sneered. “Fall where you fell, rise where you fell—typical Shrek Academy style…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Long Chen, Xue Liushuang, Weng Daimin, Jian Mochen, Kuang Zhantian—you five, stand with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Brother Tianzhao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Dragon Xu Tianzhao, the Holy Light Dragon Soul Ancestor Long Chen, the two martial soul fusion technique users—Heavenly Tiger Summoning and Ice Goddess—had unleashed the strongest young lineup the Solar-Lunar Imperial Soul Mechanist Academy could muster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xu Tianzhao’s age was conspicuously out of place—he was roughly ten years older than both sides. This battle hardly seemed fair. After all, Shrek Academy had lost the first match; to reclaim lost glory, they must be prepared to face unfair treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secret stakes between the two academies were their respective academy treasures. If Zhao Xuanzhen faced Long Chen on the battlefield, the Solar-Lunar Imperial Soul Mechanist Academy might as well quit—Mo Hongchen would kneel and present the Silver Dragon Dragon Core with both hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the relentless hype from both academies, this battle was nothing short of a decisive clash. Soul master society had seen few matches with such attention; countless souls sat glued before soul mechanism televisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Tian Dou City Blacksmiths Association, Mu Ye had laid out a table of snacks and feasted with Master Zhen Hua and his disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the hundredth floor of the Transmission Tower headquarters, Leng Yaoju swirled a glass of rich red wine, her crimson phoenix eyes gleaming with absolute confidence—she always believed in her disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Shrek Academy, the Holy Spirit Douluo Luo Yali leaned against her husband, watching the broadcast on screen, softly saying: “Ming Ge, weren’t you a bit impulsive this time? Ignoring Yue Jie’s objections, you wagered the Hanhaiqiankun Crystal. If the outcome isn’t what we hoped, the academy will fall into ruin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ming replied calmly: “I admit I was impulsive—but Zhao Xuanzhen’s words truly reignited the passion I’d long forgotten.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been bound too long by the position of Sea God Pavilion Master—hesitant, cautious, until I gradually lost the fearless heart that once charged into Mingdu without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rushing to take Na’er as my direct disciple wasn’t just about training her—it was also to secure her as the next Pavilion Master, so I could finally be free, wander the world with you, and seek a way to transcend this world’s shackles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll gamble with him. Win, and Shrek’s status as the number one academy on the continent will be unshakable. Lose, and I’ll resign in shame—light of heart, free to pursue the divine throne alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yali chuckled: “You’re the cleverest one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the Sea God Lake, a silver-haired girl stood with hands hanging at her sides, her white shirt clinging tightly to her skin, sculpted by the sea breeze into alluring curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal dragon, its body inlaid with emerald scales, floated above a massive soul mechanism screen, its sidelong glance mocking its spiky-headed colleague—the Jade Jade Dragon’s body structure slightly outclassed the Thorn Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl paid no heed to the hidden rivalry between the two soul spirits; her brilliant silver eyes were fixed entirely on the reflection of the handsome youth on the screen, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew—the most perfect figure in her heart would always be the center of attention, no matter where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl clenched her fists, her clear, melodious voice stirring ripples across the lake:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao, Xuan, Zhen! Number One Under Heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the Zero Arena, Principal Mo Hongchen himself presided as referee, sweeping his hand—white, transparent barriers rose from all sides and sealed shut high above, a hundred meters overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One-minute countdown! Release your martial souls!” Mo Hongchen roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Dragon Xu Tianzhao stepped forward; thick dragon scales spread and climbed, extending to his cheeks, his arms transforming into dragon claws, fingers becoming grotesquely thick and bony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal dragon silhouette blazed into existence, its body wreathed in deep purple flames that fluttered like banners; even the faintest leakage of its aura scorched the alloy ground into black ash, as if stripping all life away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial Soul Embodiment: Purple Radiant Heaven-Devouring Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Radiant Heaven-Devouring Dragon’s attribute was Destruction. Its ancestor, the Radiant Dragon King, was born alongside the Dragon God and was called the Ancestor of Sub-Dragons. Later, due to the destructive nature of its Destruction attribute, it was slain by the Dragon God himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Douluo Continent originally had no Purple Radiant Heaven-Devouring Dragon martial soul—until fourteen thousand years ago, when the Solar-Lunar Continent collided with the Douluo Continent, the Solar-Lunar imperial lineage inherited the Destruction blood of the Purple Radiant Heaven-Devouring Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Tianzhao let out a deafening roar; the dragon’s cry even disrupted his teammate, Holy Light Dragon Soul Ancestor Long Chen—but Xu Tianzhao unleashed his soul power without restraint, his soul rings rising from his feet: three purple, three black—six rings, Soul Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wum—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black, black, black, gold, black!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, soul rings materialized, each one elevating Zhao Xuanzhen’s aura. When the fifth black ten-thousand-year soul ring stabilized beside him, a humanoid shadow slowly coalesced—as if standing atop the clouds, overlooking all beings. The Taiji diagram rotated slowly, standing in direct opposition to the howling Purple Radiant Heaven-Devouring Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all his soul power unleashed, Zhao Xuanzhen’s long black hair stirred without wind; his tall, slender silhouette appeared majestic to every spectator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Self vs. Purple Radiant Heaven-Devouring Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oppressive aura of the two martial souls swept across the arena, soul power surging fiercely—on one side, black and white symbolizing Yin and Yang; on the other, deep purple representing Destruction. The two sides stood sharply apart: the dragon’s roar was low and solemn, the Taiji diagram spun silently, and the sky itself seemed to fall still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Begin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Hongchen roared, launching the battle entangled with countless interests and honors—and what happened next left every spectator inside and outside the arena stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the match began, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, Xu Xiaoyan, and Yang Nianxia—the six Shrek students entrusted with the academy’s hope of revenge—five of them simply jumped off the battlefield, leaving only Zhao Xuanzhen standing alone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Tianzhao froze, frowning sharply: “What… do you mean?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was entrusted with a task—I fulfill it faithfully. Shrek wants a crushing victory. I’ll fight you all alone.” Zhao Xuanzhen said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The only inconvenience is they need to complete their academy final exams. Mingdu is the last match—they just came up to make an appearance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting! Extremely interesting!” Xu Tianzhao laughed bitterly with rage. “All my elders say I’m arrogant beyond reason—but you’re the one truly insane in arrogance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Long Chen, you five—stand aside. Not a single footstep moved, or I guarantee you’ll wish you were dead once you enter the Mingde Hall!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now—it’s my one-on-one time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in his life, Xu Tianzhao was underestimated—by a soul master even younger than himself—and Zhao Xuanzhen ignited boundless fury in him. His third soul ring ignited; deep purple flames raged across his body, the Purple Radiant Heaven-Devouring Dragon’s roar shook the heavens, its Destruction attribute crushing the spirit with oppressive weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Soul Skill: Body of Destruction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the enhancement of Body of Destruction, Xu Tianzhao stomped the ground and surged forward, maintaining his charge, opening his mouth to spew a beam of dragon flame. The flame swelled mid-air, and by the time it reached Zhao Xuanzhen, its diameter exceeded three meters—enough to incinerate him into ash in a single breath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Soul Skill: Ruinous Dragon Breath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light erupted suddenly, illuminating the entire Zero Arena; the Golden Awakening created the illusion of a second sun rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhao Xuanzhen unleashed his full power, the humanoid shadow turned golden. The Awakened True Self resembled a colossal scroll—every spectator who gazed upon it was awed by its ancient, intricate patterns!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before soul mechanism televisions, the Master of the Body Sect, Mu Ye, grinned like venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this battle, the Body Sect would once again be revered across the continent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the path of the Ruinous Dragon Breath’s deep purple, the golden figure did not dodge or retreat. One hand swept aside—the dragon breath, infused with the Purple Radiant Heaven-Devouring Dragon’s Destruction power, split cleanly to either side, carving a straight path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple flame erupted outward; Zhao Xuanzhen smiled coldly, his Golden Awakening True Self utterly ignoring the corruption of Destruction, until the Ruinous Dragon Breath reached its climax—directly at Xu Tianzhao’s face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon scales shattered, the Ruinous Dragon Breath halted abruptly. Xu Tianzhao felt a searing pain on his face, the air whistling past his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up, dazed—his vision did not show the rapidly receding blue sky, but a clear, handsome face level with his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One lay back, flying backward; the other leaned forward, chasing. Air rushed past their sides. The startled, deep purple dragon eyes met the cold, golden pupils—each reflecting the other’s hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice rang out, Youran  and icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Tianzhao—I will drag you back to reality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2412,"2026-06-20T10:43:43.510Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","66ecae8c6ff4d6a40a738379da8277a0256eff7a771be6950698820687556584","douluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-chapter-92","douluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-chapter-90",92,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdouluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-cover.jpg"]
