"This martial soul!"

Elder Xuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the drawing before him. After thinking carefully for a moment, he asked, "Shao Zhe, why did you suddenly think to ask about this?"

Elder Xuan was not the only one puzzled; Mu En had the same question as well.

Why had he suddenly asked them about this out of nowhere?

"Because this martial soul can suppress the evil fire within Xiaotao!"

After answering, Yan Shaozhe had Ma Xiaotao explain to the two of them what exactly had happened to her during the day.

"Something like that actually happened!"

Upon hearing this, both Elder Xuan and Mu En became intensely interested.

Mu En in particular knew very well how violent the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao was.

If not for the influence of that evil fire, which had forced her to slow down her cultivation, that girl would probably already have become a Soul Saint.

A Soul Saint under the age of twenty had never appeared in the entire history of Douluo Continent. Even ten thousand years ago, during Tang San's era, it had been the same.

"Mu En, this martial soul should be a newly emerged one, right?"

At that moment, Elder Xuan spoke up and analyzed, "Logically speaking, this martial soul's power should possess both evil and righteous attributes. So I really do not understand why it would be related to the ice attribute."

"Shao Zhe, could it be that it was not because of this martial soul, but because that child possesses another ice-attributed martial soul?"

If it was Twin Martial Souls, then everything could be explained.

That child had used the black-and-white pattern to block all of Xiaotao's Phoenix flames, then mobilized the ice power of his second martial soul to suppress them completely.

However, to accomplish that, the quality of his martial soul had to far surpass the Evil Fire Phoenix. Otherwise, how could a Soul Elder possibly suppress a Soul Emperor?

And it was a Soul Emperor with no consciousness.

At that time, Ma Xiaotao's combat strength was something even ordinary Soul Saints would have been unable to handle.

"Not very likely."

Yan Shaozhe shook his head and replied, "Because I had already seen it before. It was a golden tower with extremely powerful defensive abilities. Even Xiaotao could not break it. So if that is really the case, then it means he has yet another martial soul—a previously unheard-of Triple Martial Souls!"

"A golden tower?"

Mu En had originally been somewhat confused, but after hearing this, he seemed to recall something. He asked, "Shao Zhe, is the child you mentioned a first-year student from the Outer Court?"

"Teacher, how did you know?"

Now it was Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao's turn to be surprised.

They never could have imagined that the Dragon God Douluo, a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, would know of a student who had only entered Shrek Academy a few days ago.

"Heh, that child left quite a deep impression on me!"

Mu En smiled calmly and said softly, "That child has Innate Full Soul Power, and the Golden Pagoda you mentioned is called the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a martial soul with exceptionally formidable defensive power."

"The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda? That does fit rather well!"

Yan Shaozhe asked, "Teacher, how did you come to know him?"

Mu En did not hide anything and directly told them everything that had happened recently.

"So that was it. It seems Shrek Academy really picked up a treasure!"

Elder Xuan chuckled. While eating the chicken leg in his hand, he asked, "In that case, Shao Zhe, what do you plan to do? Take him as your disciple, or have him marry Xiaotao?"

"Of course, the first option." Yan Shaozhe made his decision without much thought.

"Oh? Why?"

Elder Xuan looked utterly puzzled as he asked, "Do you think that boy is not worthy of Xiaotao?"

"That is not it."

Yan Shaozhe shook his head and gave a wry smile. "It is because he has a very good relationship with Jiang Nannan. I think the two of them are the ones who will end up together."

"Jiang Nannan? There is no one by that name among the Inner Court Disciples!"

Elder Xuan furrowed his brow. After recalling carefully for a moment, he asked, "The Jiang Nannan you mentioned should be an Outer Court disciple, right?"

"That is correct. She is a Fifth-grade student and is known as the number one beauty of the Outer Court!"

Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, "From what I have learned, although he and Jiang Nannan are not biological siblings, their relationship is no different from that of real siblings. Moreover, they are both commoners, completely clean and of upright background."

"In other words, you intend to focus on cultivating both of them?"

Mu En and Elder Xuan seemed to understand something as they asked.

"Yes."

Yan Shaozhe replied, "Under normal circumstances, both of them should be able to pass the Outer Court assessment and become Inner Court Disciples. By then, perhaps they might even become two of the new Shrek Seven Devils."

"Heh, Shao Zhe, do you know what my first thought was when I saw that child? That he could enter the Sea God Pavilion!" Mu En said with a smile.

"What!"

Not only Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao, but even Elder Xuan was filled with shock.

As Shrek Academy's highest institution, the soul masters able to enter the Sea God Pavilion were all Titled Douluo-level powerhouses.

"Do not be so shocked!"

Mu En waved his hand, telling the three not to overreact, before deciding, "Do not concern yourself with this matter. As for that child, I have decided to go personally!"

"Teacher, is that really necessary?" Yan Shaozhe asked.

"Yes!"

Mu En nodded. After standing up from his wheelchair, a flash of golden light passed through his eyes. "My end is drawing near. I cannot protect Shrek Academy for much longer, so before then, I must find seeds and hope worthy of the academy's full cultivation. Only then can Shrek Academy maintain its current neutral position and deter the many vicious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest."

The main reason Shrek Academy possessed its current status was because it had Peerless Douluo that other factions did not possess.

Of course, that was only compared to the Sun Moon Imperial Family and the Body Sect. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult had a full two Peerless Douluo.

"Yes, Teacher. This student understands!"

As time passed, Jiang Nannan and Li Changsheng gradually grew tired from wandering around.

Just as Jiang Nannan was preparing to bid Li Changsheng farewell, she saw him take out a green medicinal pill.

"What is this?"

Jiang Nannan was puzzled. It was her first time seeing something like it.

"It is called a Soul Ascension Pill. It can raise your Soul Power by one level and is an extremely precious treasure!" Li Changsheng explained.

"Where did you get it?" Jiang Nannan asked in surprise.

"Someone gave it to me because of an accident."

"Hey, it is not poison. Why ask so many questions? Do you think I would lie to you?"

"That is it. Remember to take it when you get back. If there is nothing else, I am leaving!"

After saying that, Li Changsheng turned and headed toward the dormitories.

"Chang Sheng, wait!"

At that moment, Jiang Nannan called out to him.

"What is it?"

Li Changsheng turned around in confusion, only to see a graceful figure rush before him.

Then, at incredible speed, she kissed his cheek and said, "Thank you. I was very happy today!"

After doing all that, Jiang Nannan's pretty face flushed red, and she ran away without looking back.
