The Worries of a Centenarian

Mu En rubbed his temples, clearly not in a good mood. His retirement life should have been leisurely, spending his days basking in the sun in front of the New Student Dormitory, watching the energetic Shrek students, occasionally acting as the gatekeeper, enjoying that rare tranquility and peace.

However, fate did not seem to intend for him to spend his later years in such a peaceful manner.

A year ago, the world suddenly changed drastically. The connection between Sea God Island within the Shrek Academy and the Divine Realm was suddenly severed, and Douluo Continent completely lost its connection with the Divine Realm.

This was a huge shock to Mu En and the entire Shrek Academy at the time.

Just as Mu En had no time to breathe a sigh of relief, his great-grandson brought back even more astonishing news—their ancestor Yu Xiaogang, was actually alive! This news was like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through Mu En's heart.

The name Yu Xiaogang holds immense significance for both Mu En and Shrek Academy.

He was the ancestor of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, a legendary figure who once led Shrek Academy to glory. Logically, Yu Xiaogang is said to have long since passed away, and his deeds have been gradually buried by time.

But now this person, who had been presumed dead, has suddenly appeared in Mu En's sight. How can Mu En accept this calmly?

Mu En was filled with doubt and unease. He didn't know if the news was true or false, nor did he know what impact Yu Xiaogang's return would have on the Shrek Academy if he was really still alive.

If Tang Ya's Martial Soul weren't something that couldn't be faked, Mu En would have thought his great-grandson was joking to amuse the old man.

After a thorough examination by Dragon God Douluo Mu En, it was confirmed that Tang Ya's Martial Soul had been reforged. Her Martial Soul had transformed from its original dark form into Life Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power, and its vibrant vitality left a deep and unforgettable impression on Mu En, whose body was already old and frail.

What surprised him even more was that Tang Ya's original two Spirit Rings had been completely shattered and transformed into Soul Power stored in her body. Mu En was amazed by this move by his ancestor Yu Xiaogang.

It turned out that Soul Master's Spirit Ring could be changed in this way, which broadened Mu En's horizons, but he dared not do it. Mu En was also well aware of the risks involved, and he dared not easily attempt this change, because if he failed, the consequences could be unimaginable.

However, these are just minor issues. The real and huge problem facing Mu En now is the issue of succession.

As the top academy on the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy now bears the heavy responsibility of its future development and inheritance on his shoulders. However, the current situation makes him very worried.

Mu En had originally placed high hopes on Xuan Zi, hoping that this young man could shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the God of Sea Pavilion Master. However, Xuan Zi always seemed unreliable, as if he didn't have many plans or ideas for the future of the academy, which made Mu En feel deeply disappointed and helpless.

However, the situation on the Douluo Continent is becoming increasingly unclear, with various forces surging and crises lurking everywhere. Mu En is reluctant to easily relinquish the position of the God of Sea Pavilion Master, as this position represents the highest power and responsibility of the academy.

Mu En's headache wasn't just about the lack of a successor; it was more about his worries about the future of the academy. Mu En knew he couldn't stay in this position indefinitely and had to cultivate a new generation of leaders to take his place as soon as possible.

Mu En's biggest worry is how to find such talent now. Although Yan Shaozhe, as his eldest disciple, is young and promising and has already been promoted to Titled Douluo, which undoubtedly proves his strength and talent, his prejudice against Soul Tool has become a major obstacle to his succession to the Shrek Academy, making him even more unsuitable as the successor of the Shrek Academy.

Xian Lin'er is my only female disciple. Alas, it's just that Xian Lin'er is too easily swayed by emotions, and her personality is too straightforward. She is also a rather sentimental woman.

Finding a suitable successor is indeed a daunting task for the Shrek Academy right now.

This requires consideration not only of the successor's strength and talent, but also of their character, qualities, loyalty to the academy, and sense of mission.

In the end, Doudou and turns, it was still up to this centenarian himself to carry the burden. These disciples and grand-disciples are so unfilial! Just as Mu En was reminiscing about his few good-for-nothing disciples and grand-disciples, he sighed and lamented.

The sounds of Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo arguing could be heard outside the God of Sea Pavilion, which made Mu En had just finished his work at the Shrek Academy, turn pale.

When will my eldest disciple Yan Shaozhe, finally be able to shoulder the responsibility? He's so old, yet he's still acting like a child, constantly arguing with that Qian Duoduo.

"Bump!!!"

The loud bang of the door being broken down and the ensuing chaos instantly turned the once peaceful office into a smoky mess. The tea on Mu En's desk was also affected, the surface rippling as if expressing displeasure at the sudden disturbance.

Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo's intrusion was like two rabbits with their bottoms on fire, not only breaking the tranquility of the office but also bringing a series of troubles to Mu En.

Their arguments and conflicts left Mu En feeling both helpless and angry. As the dean of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Tool Department of the Shrek Academy, he expected his juniors to handle problems maturely and steadily, rather than arguing endlessly in front of him like this.

"Sect Master, you be the judge! Our Soul Tool Department has been losing more and more new students in recent years. We finally managed to get half of the new students from Yan Shaozhe after pleading and begging, as Shrek Academy had started recruiting on a large scale!"

With Qian Duoduo spoke directly to Mu En, first accusing Yan Shaozhe, which made Yan Shaozhe so angry that he pointed at Qian Duoduo's nose and didn't know what to say.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened instantly, staring angrily at Qian Duoduo, his heart already churning with rage.

If it weren't for saving face for the teacher, he would have already taught this unsportsmanlike guy a lesson. Qian Duoduo actually dared to launch a sneak attack and reduce the original three levels to half! "Qian Duoduo, don't go too far!"

Qian Duoduo looked at Yan Shaozhe's exasperated expression, but secretly he was pleased. He knew that his approach of accusing Yan Shaozhe first was somewhat unethical, but he was doing it for the sake of the Soul Tool Department, and he didn't want to lose face!

Mu En listened quietly to Qian Duoduo's complaints, his face showing little expression, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. He knew that the competition for students between the Soul Tool Department and the Martial Soul Department had always been fierce, and Shrek Academy's large-scale recruitment this time had brought the competition to a fever pitch.

However, Yan Shaozhe, who had just been furious with Qian Duoduo, suddenly softened his expression and then smiled slyly in front of Teacher Mu En.

"Qian Duoduo, I agree to your request, but those two Little Monsters, Huo Yuhao and Tang San, must join our Martial Soul Department!"

"Impossible!!! Huo Yuhao must come to our Soul Tool Department! Only the Soul Tool Department can give him the best education!"
