In the north, outside Dragon City.

In the distance, a group of people wearing flying soul guides quickly approached the largest city in the northern border. They were the soul hunting team led by Fan Yu and Zhang Lexuan. White mist was exhaled from their mouths and noses, and immediately turned into broken ice chips flying in the air. They had to use their soul power to block the biting cold wind and prevent the icy cold air from drilling into their bodies.

As the largest city in the north of the Tianhun Empire, the size of Dragon City was beyond the imagination of all the students of Shrek Academy.

This group of people can be said to have their own concerns. The three people headed by Han Ruoruo are trying to obtain soul rings from the Frozen Forest and even the Arctic Ice Field. Although the environment here is harsh, they all agree that the soul beasts in the Far North are not as aggressive as those in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Fan Yu and Zhang Lexuan came to look for someone.

It was already night, but it was precisely because it was night that the shock Dragon City brought to them was even stronger. Looking around, there were large buildings everywhere, most of which were more than five stories high, and there were even more than ten stories high buildings.

This was something they had never seen in other major cities of the three empires, or even in Shrek City before. Moreover, buildings of this scale were not unique. Looking into the distance, it was impossible to count how many such tall buildings there were. The lights of thousands of houses illuminated this seemingly endless city with such brilliance that it almost competed with the stars in the sky.

Between the buildings, wide stone streets were scattered everywhere, and some main roads were even more than 30 meters wide. And among the thousands of lights, there was a faint flow of soul power.

What shocked them even more was that, apart from the thick wall that protected the distant part bordering the Arctic ice field, there were no walls to the south. There was only a layer of almost transparent light curtain covering it. The pale golden light continued to spread outward, and it seemed to maintain a special frequency, repeating over and over again, thus isolating the blizzard outside Dragon City.

"Teacher Fanyu, why does this city only have half of the city wall?!" Chu Qingtian couldn't help but ask.

“Yes! And this Dragon City is too big, right? It’s bigger than Shrek City. The Tianhun Empire actually favors one over the other. It’s really too much!” Wu Ming exuded the Golden Crow flame, resisting the severe cold climate in the north.

"I heard that the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu, doesn't have a city wall either. I think Longcheng is also very confident in the soul guide they developed." Fan Yu looked in the direction Chu Qingtian pointed. "As for why Longcheng is larger than Shrek City, classmate Wu Ming, if you know a little about Longcheng's history over the past few thousand years, you will know that Longcheng has been expanding towards the Arctic Ice Field over the past few thousand years. Not to mention Shrek City, even Tiandou City, the capital of the Sky Soul Empire, is less than half the size of Longcheng."

"Expansion? How dare they?! Aren't the rulers of Dragon City afraid of retaliation from the Far North?" Wu Ming's eyes widened in surprise. Even Shrek Academy did not dare to expand towards the Star Dou Great Forest, because doing so would inevitably trigger a tide of beasts.

"I once saw a record of the beast tide in the Far North in the Sea God Pavilion's library. For some reason, not long after the Sky Soul Empire handed over Dragon City's autonomy to Dragon Pavilion, the soul beasts on the ice field, led by Snow Emperor, the leader of the three kings of the Far North, launched an attack on Dragon City. At that time, the Sky Soul Empire was worried that Dragon City could not resist the beast tide, so it asked Shrek Academy for help. The predecessors of the Sea God Pavilion who went to the north that generation brought back an astonishing news." Zhang Lexuan recounted this history, "Snow Emperor launched the beast tide not because soul masters were hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Far North, but because she believed that there were traitors among the soul beasts who colluded with humans..."

"In that battle, the Sea God Pavilion also lost several Super Douluo, and several seniors almost couldn't come back, so the information they brought back was not very clear. But what is certain is that after the beast tide, Dragon City, under the leadership of Dragon Pavilion, began to expand towards the Arctic Icefield..."

"It sounds like they are seeking revenge against the Snow Emperor. Although Dragon Pavilion is a hostile force to us, their courage is still worthy of admiration. But I don't think this is just a momentary dispute of pride. Look over there." Fan Yu pointed to the infrastructure in the distance bordering the Arctic ice field.

Before Shrek Academy moved, he was not qualified to enter the Poseidon Pavilion. By the time he was qualified to occupy a seat in the Poseidon Pavilion, the information and resources had been almost destroyed. Naturally, he didn't know about this history. In addition, he had been to Dragon City, so he had a different opinion on this.

There were many large soul-guided machines in the direction that Fan Yu pointed to. The metal drills were installed underneath those huge soul-guided machines, and the diameter of the drills was more than five meters. There were thousands of guards stationed outside the infrastructure, and there were also many workers busy at work.

"The rapid development of Dragon City's soul guidance technology is inseparable from the rare metal veins on the edge of the Arctic ice sheet."

“Teacher Fanyu, you are right. They are indeed brave to mine in the soul beast habitat.” Although Chu Qingtian is a traditional soul master, he also feels that Fanyu’s opinion is more reliable.

"Let's land. If we continue watching, it would be terrible if we were mistaken for spies with bad intentions." Fan Yu gave an order, and everyone followed him to land on the ground and walk into the city.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Although Wu Ming obeyed Fan Yu's instructions, his expression showed some indifference.

"When I first came to Longcheng to purchase rare metals for the academy, there were already high-altitude detection soul guides in the sky around here." Fan Yu glanced at her, "Not only that, there are also all-terrain long-range detection soul guides, short-range thermal energy detection soul guides, medium-range air detection soul guides, and trigger-type positioning soul guides. If you dare to act rashly, those soul guides will blast you to pieces before you can react."

Wu Ming's face turned pale in an instant, "So that's why they dared to demolish the inner city wall, right?"

"Maybe." Fan Yu led them towards the city gate. Although the inspection process was quick, there was still a long queue outside the city gate, and there were even many caravans stationed outside the city.

At the city gate, there is a special large-scale soul power detection soul guide device. Once it is scanned, it will immediately detect whether there is any soul power fluctuation.

"Are you all soul masters?" At the city gate, the guard in charge of inspection waved to Shrek and his group, motioning them to go over and register.

Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly, took a step forward, bowed slightly and said: "Hello, guard brother, we are from the Moonlight Sect of the Sky Soul Empire. We are going to the Arctic Ice Field to obtain spirit rings. Before entering the Arctic Ice Field, we want to rest and replenish supplies in Dragon City."
