Mu En's Arrangement

Mu En's Arrangement

Other than Mu En, only Xuan Zi knew of the little fellow's background.

After confirming that Ye Chen was not a soul beast rebuilding itself, they had once speculated whether he might be the child of a god who had somehow ended up on the continent.

Now that he had personally presided over and witnessed Ye Chen's Martial Soul Awakening ceremony, he became even more convinced of his earlier suspicions.

"Xiao Chen, can you tell us what exactly your two Martial Souls are?" Mu En asked curiously.

It was also what everyone else wanted to ask. Though they could be certain that both Martial Souls were top-tier existences, none of them had ever seen them before.

They had not even heard of them.

Under everyone's curious gazes, Ye Chen scratched his head and slowly said, "I don't know where they came from either. I only know that the sapling is called the Fusang Divine Tree, and my Second Martial Soul is called Taiyin Youying."

That was all Ye Chen could say.

Everyone nodded after hearing this. Even they had never encountered such things, let alone a tiny child like him.

Mu En fell into thought after hearing this. He asked no more questions and instead intended to check Ye Chen's Soul Power Level.

"Xiao Chen, test your Soul Power Level."

Ye Chen nodded. At Xuan Zi's prompting, he gently placed his small hand on the crystal ball.

"Innate Full Soul Power."

As the crystal ball emitted a dazzling radiance, the room echoed with everyone's relatively calm voices.

After the Martial Soul Awakening just now, they had practically become numb to Ye Chen possessing Innate Full Soul Power.

It seemed like the most ordinary thing in the world. It would have been surprising if he did not have Innate Full Soul Power.

"Lin'er, take Xiao Chen back first. Everyone else, stay behind. I have something to say." Mu En's voice returned to its usual gentleness. Some matters were not suitable to discuss in front of Ye Chen.

Because they concerned the most evil organization on the continent—the Evil Soul Masters.

Although Mu En knew that Ye Chen's background was extraordinary, he could never have imagined that a soul from the modern twenty-first century lived inside Ye Chen's mind.

He did not think Ye Chen was hiding anything he had not said. If a child this young possessed such scheming, that would truly be strange.

Xian Lin'er understood and stepped forward, taking Ye Chen's little hand as she led him out of the room.

Ye Chen skipped along the road while holding Xian Lin'er's hand, the excitement in his heart still refusing to settle.

It was not that he did not know. He simply did not know how to explain it.

Even if he told them, no one present would have heard of them. They would still be utterly baffled.

Both were things that existed in the myths and legends of his previous life.

In truth, Ye Chen also had a trace of doubt in his heart. According to the memories of his previous life, Taiyin Youying was a divine beast from ancient mythology, depicted as an enormous hollow ring. In reality, it referred to the moon.

Because ancient people were ignorant, they regarded the sun and moon as two divine beasts born at the beginning of heaven and earth. One was called Taiyin Youying, while the other was called Taiyang Zhuzhao.

They represented the moon and the sun respectively.

Yet according to that voice, his Second Martial Soul was called Taiyin Youying.

Judging from its appearance alone, it indeed had two pairs of butterfly-like wings.

But Ye Chen could not determine what was really going on. He simply knew too little at present.

There was another point that did not match his memories: the Ultimate Darkness Attribute within his Second Martial Soul.

And why was his first Martial Soul not Taiyang Zhuzhao, but the Fusang Divine Tree instead?

Since he could not figure it out, Ye Chen did not bother dwelling on it. As long as he knew that his Second Martial Soul was one of the strongest Martial Souls in the world, that was enough. He did not care about the rest.

In the Sea God's Pavilion council hall, aside from Xian Lin'er, who had taken Ye Chen home, every one of the elders was present, seated neatly around the oval table.

"I believe you all saw it. Xiao Chen possesses unimaginable talent. Within his two Martial Souls, I sensed four ultimate auras!" Mu En's voice was filled with amazement as he spoke.

The four ultimate auras he had sensed were light, darkness, ice, and fire.

Ultimate attributes that might not appear even once in several centuries had appeared simultaneously on a child who had only just awakened his Martial Souls.

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

They all knew what this meant for the academy and the continent.

After the generation of Ancestor Tang San ten thousand years ago, a new era was about to arrive!

"According to my observations, the four ultimate attributes within Xiao Chen have reached a delicate balance. If there were only two of them, Xiao Chen might have been unable to control the two conflicting energies during Martial Soul Awakening and would have exploded to death."

Mu En paused before speaking again.

"Therefore, until he begins school, he will study under me. I will personally guide his cultivation. We must also keep a close watch on the movements of the Evil Soul Masters."

"Xiao Chen's Light Attribute is the natural nemesis of all Evil Soul Masters. If they were to capture him and make use of his Darkness Attribute, it would surely become a disaster for the entire continent in the future!"

For once, Mu En did not ask the others to speak first. Instead, he laid out everything in one breath.

Everyone's expressions were grave. They understood the consequences of this matter.

Qian Duoduo could not help worrying inwardly.

Although Ye Chen had been adopted by Xian Lin'er and him, they had treated him as their own son all these years. It would be a lie to say he was not worried.

"But overall, as long as we protect him and allow him to grow up healthily, it will absolutely be a blessing for both our academy and the continent!" Elder Song, seated at the head of the table, said with a sigh.

"Why are you all so serious? It's a good thing that Xiao Chen has such talent. From now on, this old man will protect him, so none of you better fight me for the job!" Seeing the atmosphere in the hall grow somewhat gloomy, Xuan Zi lightened the mood at the right moment.

Everyone relaxed considerably upon hearing that.

That evening, in a small house in the Inner Court, Ye Chen's family of three sat around a small table. To celebrate Ye Chen's Martial Soul Awakening, Xian Lin'er had prepared a sumptuous dinner.

"Xiao Chen, tell Dad—which Martial Soul do you want to focus on in your future cultivation?" At the dinner table, Qian Duoduo put some meat into Ye Chen's bowl and asked.

"Dad, can't I cultivate both Martial Souls at the same time?" Ye Chen's large eyes were full of confusion.

As a Douluo fan, he knew about the so-called primary and secondary Martial Soul theory, but he still put on a puzzled expression.

After all, he was only six years old. He had not begun learning those theories yet, and if he suddenly showed that he understood them, people might notice something was off.

"You'll learn about those things later." Qian Duoduo did not explain in detail. Once Ye Chen officially entered school, his teachers would teach him all of it.

Even if he knew now, he probably would not understand.

In Qian Duoduo's eyes, Ye Chen had always been a six-year-old child.

Ye Chen nodded obediently and said in a childish voice, "Then I'll make the Fusang Divine Tree my first Martial Soul."

After saying that, Ye Chen placed some food into Xian Lin'er's bowl and made a face at Qian Duoduo.

"You little brat, you only know to serve food to your mother. Did your father spoil you for nothing?" Qian Duoduo fondly rubbed Ye Chen's little head and pretended to be jealous.

Ye Chen shook his head in dissatisfaction, picked up his little stool, and ran to Qian Duoduo's other side. How dare he mess up my hairstyle!

In his eyes, his hairstyle was more important than anything.

If his handsome, dashing hair got pulled out, how would he chase after all those beautiful senior sisters at the academy?

The moment Ye Chen moved away, Qian Duoduo was left standing there in stunned disbelief.

Xian Lin'er, meanwhile, looked at the father and son with amused helplessness, her gaze filled with unconcealable tenderness.

Yet none of the three noticed the faint gleam that flashed through Ye Chen's eyes.

Dear readers, Taiyang Zhuzhao will appear later. There's a small setup behind this, so please forgive me for not spoiling it...

Also, let me state once again: Ye Chen's Second Martial Soul really is not a butterfly. Around Xiao Chen's second year, it will undergo a tremendous change.
