Sea God Pavilion Meeting

Xuan Zi said to Mu En, "He's a boy named Chen Feng, a new student who just enrolled this year."

Hearing that Xuan Zi was talking about a newly enrolled student, the Sea God Pavilion Elders present all became skeptical.

A student who had only just enrolled, and Xuan Zi dared claim he was even more formidable than Elder Mu in his youth? Wasn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

After all, new students in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard were all twelve-year-old boys.

For a youth of that age to cultivate his soul power to the rank of Soul Elder, possess a solid foundation, and wield the power of his Martial Soul with some proficiency was already remarkable.

Calling him astonishingly talented was acceptable, but saying he surpassed the young Elder Mu was going too far.

After all, Elder Mu's strength was not limited to his cultivation talent and cultivation level... His understanding, application, and development of Martial Souls and soul power were all at the grandmaster level.

Could a boy who had only just enrolled truly be compared to the young Elder Mu? And was he worth convening a Sea God Pavilion meeting over?

As Shrek Academy's highest-level meeting, the Sea God Pavilion meeting could be convened in two ways. One was the annual regular meeting, while the other was an emergency meeting.

Regular meetings were one thing, but every emergency meeting meant that something major had happened at Shrek Academy. Several emergency Sea God Pavilion meetings in history had even determined the course of the continent.

Yet unlike the other elders, who were doubtful and unconvinced, Mu En, reclining in his chair, abruptly opened his eyes wide.

The image of that youth who had created a Soul Skill of his own immediately surfaced in Mu En's mind.

Mu En thought to himself, If it's that boy, then his understanding of soul power and Soul Skills truly is uniquely gifted. He even surpasses me.

Seeing the disbelief on the faces of the elders present, Xuan Zi said no more.

He recounted how Chen Feng had casually defeated Xu Sanshi in the Soul Battle Arena with just a few strikes. Xu Sanshi's Martial Soul had awakened as the Black Tortoise Shield, and he had already been designated by the Sea God Pavilion as one of the next generation of Shrek Seven Monsters.

He particularly emphasized Chen Feng's Twin Martial Souls, his Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, and his domineering, razor-sharp Self-Created Soul Skill.

After hearing Xuan Zi's account, the Sea God Pavilion Elders were so shocked that they could not speak.

Twin Martial Souls, an Ultimate Martial Soul, a Self-Created Soul Skill—if any youth possessed even one of these, he would be an undisputed genius, worthy of being chosen by Shrek Academy as a core disciple and cultivated with priority.

With all of these traits gathered in one boy, the Sea God Pavilion Elders present found it difficult to believe.

An Elder dressed in white exclaimed, "Does such a peerless genius truly exist in this world?"

The one who cried out was Yan Shaozhe, disciple of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, Dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department, and Ma Xiaotao's teacher. His title was Bright Phoenix Douluo. He was a Level 95 Super Douluo—Level 97 by the end of the original work.

As Dragon God Douluo Mu En's disciple, Yan Shaozhe naturally possessed extraordinary talent. Not only did he have Innate Full Soul Power, but his Martial Soul was also the Radiant Phoenix, one of the most superior Beast Martial Souls.

Yet when Yan Shaozhe, who considered himself exceptionally talented, compared his own gifts to the Chen Feng described by Xuan Zi, he felt that his own talent was simply not worth mentioning.

"Hmph, Yan Shaozhe, you're already ninety years old. Why are you still making such a fuss?"

The speaker was a woman around 1.7 meters tall. She appeared to be only about fifty, with fair skin and black hair neatly pinned up. Her white clothes, trimmed in gold, fit closely and gave her a sharp, capable appearance. Though advanced in age, it was still obvious that she must have been a breathtaking beauty in her youth.

The one mocking Yan Shaozhe was Xian Lin'er, Dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department and also Yan Shaozhe's former girlfriend. Her Martial Soul was the Azure Flame Dragon. She was a Level 95 Assault System Super Douluo, titled "Martial God," and a Level 8 Soul Tool Master. She was also one of Mu En's disciples and Qian Duoduo's nominal wife.

At Xian Lin'er's remark about Yan Shaozhe making a fuss, the man beside her immediately laughed. He appeared to be around fifty, broad and powerfully built, with not a wrinkle on his face. Yet his hair was stark white and stiff as steel needles, lending him a slightly weathered air. He stood over 2.2 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a thick back, bronze skin, and well-defined muscles.

"Yan Shaozhe, your temperament still needs work. A strong man should carry himself like one."

The one who chimed in after Xian Lin'er was Qian Duoduo, Vice Dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department. His Martial Soul was the Oolong Shield. When it came to fawning over someone, Xu Sanshi was a mere amateur before this vice dean of the Soul Tool Department. After Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe broke up, Xian Lin'er had entered a nominal marriage with Qian Duoduo to spite Yan Shaozhe.

Qian Duoduo had been married to Xian Lin'er for decades, yet he had never even touched her. If Yan Shaozhe knew, who knew how thrilled he would be.

Yan Shaozhe ignored Qian Duoduo. Hearing Xian Lin'er's words, he furrowed his brow as well. "Lin'er, you..."

Yan Shaozhe had wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. He still felt guilty toward Xian Lin'er. After all, he had cheated on her with another beauty back then, and Xian Lin'er had caught him in the act...

Xian Lin'er snorted and said nothing more.

At that moment, a beautiful middle-aged woman sitting beside Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Faced with such a peerless genius, being astonished is only natural. Even I was shocked when I heard Elder Xuan speak of this young man named Chen Feng."

This beautiful middle-aged woman was Cai Mei'er, Vice Dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department and Yan Shaozhe's wife. She was also the beauty Yan Shaozhe had cheated with in his youth.

Xian Lin'er had originally decided not to say anything after Yan Shaozhe fell silent and conceded, but when she heard Cai Mei'er smilingly rebut her, anger immediately rose in her heart.

Just as Xian Lin'er was about to say something else, an old woman seated in the seat of honor on the right frowned slightly. "Lin'er, this is a Sea God Pavilion meeting. If you keep making a scene, leave."

Xian Lin'er's expression changed slightly. She snorted and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En spoke. "Enough. Quiet down, everyone. Xuan Zi, continue."

Seeing the four Shrek Academy deans seated at the lower end of the table, the several elders seated above showed no surprise.

However, Elder Song, seated at the head on the left, could not help but sigh inwardly as she watched her daughter Xian Lin'er behave this way.

In Elder Song's eyes, her daughter had already been married to Qian Duoduo for decades, yet she still could not let go of her past with Yan Shaozhe. It truly was inappropriate.

There was nothing Elder Song could do about it. In terms of cultivation, aside from Elder Mu and Xuan Zi, she ranked first, with soul power as high as Level 97. But when it came to her daughter Xian Lin'er, Elder Song knew full well that she would not listen to reason and was stubborn to the bone. She thought to herself, Let these juniors figure out matters of the heart on their own.
