Liu Erlong Takes Action

Upon hearing Liu Erlong's question, Dai Mubai snapped out of his shock and nodded, saying, "That person's name is Qing Mu. I saw him at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy a year ago, but his Martial Soul looked different then, and his level was only twenty-four."

"Is he Qing Mu?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's eyes flashed, and he quickly looked towards the battlefield.

But just a moment later, Liu Erlong frowned. "No, this person is clearly a level 47 Soul Ancestor. How could someone jump from a level 20 Soul Grandmaster in just one year? Are you mistaken? Maybe it's his brother or something."

Upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, Dai Mubai hesitated for a moment. Judging from their current behavior, the two were indeed not like the same person; the difference was too great.

Just as the two were talking, Venusaur ended the battle with a single Seed Bomb. A warm current appeared in Qing Mu's body, instantly allowing Qing Mu to break through the level 47 bottleneck and advance to level 48.

"Excellent. At this pace, I'll break through level 50 in just a few months. Then I can hunt down the Flowing Light Roaring Ape as my Fifth Soul Ring, and I'll be a Soul King."

Feeling the increase in Soul Power within her body and the slight improvement she received, Qing Mu nodded in satisfaction.

Upon witnessing this scene, Dai Mubai's eyes widened in disbelief. He had actually broken through so easily!

Although he couldn't clearly see Qing Mu's level, he could still sense the Soul Power fluctuations emitted when Qing Mu broke through.

Unlike Dai Mubai's shock, Liu Erlong's eyes shone even brighter after seeing Qing Mu's breakthrough.

Although it's unclear what this person's relationship is with Qing Mu, whom Yu Xiaogang wants to take as a disciple, there's no doubt that this person is far more outstanding.

However, Soul Ancestor being able to defeat a Twenty-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that even many Soul Emperor might struggle to handle is a level of Combat Power that, while perhaps unprecedented and unparalleled, is close enough.

"If we could lure someone like that away to be Xiao Gang's apprentice, Xiao Gang would surely be very happy."

As she thought about Liu Erlong, her eyes grew brighter and brighter. However, just as she was enjoying the future, a huge vine sprouted from the ground. Although she dodged in time and protected Dai Mubai, it still caught her off guard.

Looking at the man and woman who had been forced out, Qing Mu's eyes flashed with surprise, because he recognized one of them— Dai Mubai from Shrek.

As for the other person, judging from their Martial Soul and strength, the only person who fits the description is Yu Xiaogang's cousin, Liu Erlong.

"Gentlemen, isn't it rather impolite to peek for so long?"

Qing Mu said calmly.

Even knowing the other party's identity, Qing Mu remained completely calm.

Before transplanting the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Qing Mu might have been extra cautious when facing Liu Erlong, since fire is Venusaur's weakness, and it would be at a disadvantage against Liu Erlong, who possesses a top-tier Fire Attribute Martial Soul.

But now the situation has reversed. The Infernal Delicate Apricot has given Venusaur the Fire Immunity Ability, and now Liu Erlong is less of a threat to Qing Mu than the other Soul Saint.

The only thing Qing Mu needed to be careful about was that Flender and Yu Xiaogang were nearby.

Although Yu Xiaogang is trash, he is an important material for synthesizing the Golden Sacred Dragon.

Even with Venusaur fully grown and stacked, Qing Mu still lacks complete confidence when facing the Golden Sacred Dragon.

After all, this was a move that could force Dugu Bo to use his true abilities. Although his strength was still far from that of a Title Douluo, it far surpassed that of a typical Peak Soul Douluo.

Liu Erlong frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "We were just interested in your fight, but you actually attacked us directly. You're being very rude, junior."

"That's right, don't go too far. How can you attack people for no reason?" Dai Mubai chimed in.

Dai Mubai is furious. He truly felt the threat of death from Venusaur's attack. If it weren't for Liu Erlong's protection, he would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died.

"You still think you're right?"

Qing Mu sneered. Two unknown people were watching the fight so closely; who knew what they were up to?

He merely forced the man out with a casual strike; he didn't even use any force, yet that became his fault.

Besides, didn't he remember Shrek Academy's motto being that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre? Why isn't he using it now?

Liu Erlong took a deep breath. "Alright, what's your name, young man? I'm Liu Erlong, a teacher at Shrek Academy. Seeing that you have some talent, would you be willing to join our Shrek Academy? If you Shrek Academy, then we'll wipe the slate clean."

Although she was somewhat unhappy about Qing Mu's attack on her earlier, she felt that if Qing Mu could join them, the matter wouldn't matter anymore.

"!??"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai looked at Liu Erlong with surprise. Was this woman sure she wasn't mistaken about hiring people at this time?

However, Dai Mubai's eyes lit up when he thought of how easily Qing Mu had defeated the giant tiger. If this person really joined Shrek, it would be a good choice.

At least their chances of winning the Continental Elite Tournament of the Advanced Soul Master Academy are practically guaranteed. With a Soul Emperor- level Combat Power in their ranks, how can anyone else compete with Shrek Academy?

"..."

Qing Mu was speechless at Liu Erlong's remarks. The condescending tone made Qing Mu wonder if she was some unwanted trash.

Even if he seems a bit precocious now, he still looks to be at most around eighteen years old, right?

At level 48 at this age, looking at the current Douluo Continent, he's probably second or even first, not to mention he previously defeated a Twenty-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Seeing that Qing Mu hadn't responded for a while, Liu Erlong became a little anxious and quickly said, "How have you considered it? Our Shrek Academy has a bunch of amazing teachers, including the continent's number one Martial Soul Theory Grandmaster and one of the continent's top five Food System Spirit Master. You won't get another chance like this."

"What if I don't want to?" Qing Mu asked, looking somewhat annoyed.

He'd be crazy to go to the Shrek Academy. Even though Shrek Academy, having absorbed Blue Tyrant Academy, is doing alright now, does he really need those resources?

Moreover, Qing Mu is currently still holding the title of a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's face immediately darkened, and he sneered, "That's not up to you. You have to go today whether you like it or not! Oh, and there's another brother named Qing Mu, right? He'll be joining you later."

As he spoke, flames emanated from Liu Erlong's body, and he rushed towards Qing Mu's direction.
