Mu En's Recruitment

"Mental-type?"

"It's actually a Mental-type martial soul?"

Mental-type martial souls were rare. Even at Shrek Academy, there were not many students who possessed them, and Jiang Nannan looked at Jiang Qingtong with considerable surprise.

They had lived together for so long, yet this was the first time she had seen Jiang Qingtong fight.

So simple and efficient, so swift and fierce!

Was this really a twelve-year-old junior?

"Class Monitor, Qingtong is so strong!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed to Wang Dong as she watched Jiang Qingtong slowly walk toward Xu Sanshi.

Wang Dong fell silent. Indeed, she admitted that Jiang Qingtong was powerful—more powerful than she was. But Wang Dong was not flustered. Her pride did not lie in her cultivation!

Jiang Qingtong walked up to Xu Sanshi and said in a low voice, "From now on, if I find out you're bothering Senior again, I'll beat you up every time I see you! Understand?"

"You..." Xu Sanshi frowned deeply.

"What about me? If you've got the ability, beat me!" Jiang Qingtong glared back at him.

Jiang Nannan stepped forward and stood beside Jiang Qingtong. She said to Xu Sanshi, "Xu Sanshi, don't ever appear in front of me again. You disgust me."

After saying that, Jiang Nannan and Jiang Qingtong turned and left. Someone tried to help Xu Sanshi up, but he shouted them away. "Get lost! It's not like I've been beaten crippled. I can get up by myself!"

"Eh, this senior's mood doesn't seem right." Xiao Xiao clicked her tongue and shook her head as she looked at Xu Sanshi.

Wang Dong nodded. "It's normal to lose when your skills are inferior. What kind of hero takes their anger out on other people? If you've got the ability, win next time."

Xu Sanshi heard their discussion. Furious, he looked toward the voices and spotted Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao standing there.

When Wang Dong met Xu Sanshi's eyes, she did not back down. She glared right back and asked, "Senior, do you need something?"

Seeing that Wang Dong still dared to question him, Xu Sanshi clenched his fists, his chest heaving. It took him quite a while to calm himself down before he shook his head and said, "No..."

"Xiao Xiao, let's go." After watching the show, Wang Dong did not linger. She grabbed Xiao Xiao and left. The crowd around them gradually dispersed, leaving only Xu Sanshi to walk away dejectedly on his own.

On the way back to the dormitory with Jiang Qingtong, Jiang Nannan said in surprise, "Qingtong, you're amazing! I never expected your martial soul to be Mental-type, and that your first two soul rings would both be at the thousand-year level! With talent like yours, even many seniors in the Inner Court don't compare!"

"I prefer to keep a low profile." Jiang Qingtong smiled at Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan nodded. Having finally made a clean break with Xu Sanshi, she was in a fairly good mood. Smiling, she said, "But after today's battle, you'll definitely become famous!"

"We'll talk about the future when it comes. Senior, you seem to be feeling much better now." Jiang Qingtong waved her hand and asked Jiang Nannan with a cheerful smile.

Jiang Nannan took a deep breath and nodded. "Not bad. After this, there's no need to dwell on the past. We should look ahead!"

As they walked, they saw an old man reclining in a lounge chair and basking in the sun at Dormitory Square ahead of them. When he saw Jiang Nannan and Jiang Qingtong, he waved to them. "Girls, come over."

Hearing this, Jiang Nannan looked at Jiang Qingtong and asked, "Is this old gentleman calling for you?"

Jiang Qingtong looked at Mu En and nodded. "Yes, he's looking for me. Senior, you go back first. I'll talk with him."

"Alright, I'll be going, then." Jiang Nannan did not think much of it. After nodding, she parted ways with Jiang Qingtong and returned to the dormitory first.

Jiang Qingtong walked over to Mu En. Once she stood before him, she clasped her hands in greeting. "Greetings, Senior."

"Hehe... You know this old man is a senior?" Mu En laughed. His aged eyes were exceptionally clear as they reflected Jiang Qingtong's figure. "Little girl, you noticed this old man's presence back at Sea God Pavilion, didn't you?"

Mu En believed that Jiang Qingtong had noticed him when she used Spirit Detection at Sea God Pavilion. He did not know that Jiang Qingtong herself did not belong to this world.

Jiang Qingtong neither confirmed nor denied it. Looking at Mu En, she asked, "Did you need something from me, Senior?"

Mu En looked at Jiang Qingtong, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes. "You used two martial souls in your battle with Xu Sanshi just now, didn't you?"

Jiang Qingtong remained calm. Smiling, she gave Mu En a thumbs-up. "Senior, you truly have sharp eyes. Impressive."

He really was a Limit Douluo. She had only used a tiny bit of Ultimate Fire's power to shatter Xu Sanshi's turtle shell. Even the victim himself had not noticed, yet Mu En, standing here, had sensed it.

Seeing that the little girl before him was not the least bit flustered and could even joke with him, Mu En laughed again. He seemed to sigh wistfully. "You little girl, why did you have to be born in the Sun Moon Empire?"

"That's not right, Senior. What's wrong with the Sun Moon Empire? Isn't the Sun Moon Empire also part of the Douluo Continent?" Jiang Qingtong asked in return.

"You're quite clever."

Mu En shook his head. "But when has the Sun Moon Empire ever regarded itself as part of the Douluo Continent? Little girl, are you willing to stay?"

Jiang Qingtong frowned slightly.

Mu En continued, "You possess Twin Martial Souls. Although this old man cannot yet determine what your Second Martial Soul is, it is certainly an immensely powerful attack-type martial soul. Your Mental-type martial soul specializes in control, while your Second Martial Soul specializes in offense. Your talent surpasses anyone this old man has ever seen. The Sun Moon Empire is too shallow a pond for you."

"So Senior wants to recruit me!" Jiang Qingtong understood Mu En's meaning. She smiled and said, "Senior, the Sun Moon Empire is the motherland that raised me. You'll have to pay more."

Mu En understood the teasing in Jiang Qingtong's last sentence. He burst into laughter, then said, "If you stay, this old man guarantees that you will become one of Shrek Academy's key students. In the future, each of your two martial souls will be granted at least one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! Sea God Pavilion will also reserve a place for you."

The terms Mu En offered represented an enormous investment even for Shrek Academy!

Who knew how many people coveted a seat in Sea God Pavilion? Entering Sea God Pavilion meant becoming one of Shrek Academy's decision-makers. Everyone knew Shrek Academy's standing on the Douluo Continent today. Becoming one of its leaders was an overwhelmingly tempting prospect.

"Senior, what generosity!" Jiang Qingtong gave Mu En a thumbs-up, then shook her head and refused. "But I decline."

Mu En raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharp. "You decline? Even such a promise cannot move you? Can you tell this old man why?"
