The Peerless Splendor of Heaven and Earth's Strongest Defensive Treasure

"Doesn't make sense. Would he really trade severe injuries for eliminating one person?"

Seeing this, Li Changsheng frowned slightly. Though puzzled, he did not hold anything back.

Golden Light blazed from his eyes as three soul rings—purple, black, and black—emerged from his body.

"Second Soul Skill, Profound Yellow Suppresses Heaven and Earth!"

Just as everyone except Mu En believed the match had reached its final stage, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda appeared once more, shielding Ma Xiaotao.

Although they had already learned how terrifying the Golden Pagoda's defensive power was, that did not mean they had expected Li Changsheng, at the level of a Soul Elder, to block Dai Yueheng, a Soul Emperor.

Especially Dai Yueheng's Sixth Soul Skill.

"Th-this, this... am I seeing things?"

"One Thousand Year Soul Ring and two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings? How is that possible?"

"How did he do it?"

Not only Ling Luochen and the others watching from the side, but even Yan Shaozhe and Mu En were shocked.

Clearly, they too had not known that Li Changsheng's soul ring configuration was this heaven-defying.

"Mu, Mu En, if it were you, would you dare absorb soul rings like that?"

After the brief shock, Yan Shaozhe swallowed hard. His refined face looked as though he had seen a ghost.

Damn it, he had been the dean of Shrek Academy's Spirit System for quite some time now. Over the years, he had seen countless geniuses and powerhouses.

Yet whether now or in the past, he had never seen anyone who, as a Soul Elder, could absorb one Thousand Year Soul Ring and two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

"No."

Mu En shook his head. His narrowed eyes carried a solemn, serious expression that had appeared on his aged face for the first time.

"Then why do you think he succeeded?" Yan Shaozhe asked excitedly. If they could figure this out, it would be an immense opportunity for Shrek Academy.

"It should be related to his martial soul."

After thinking for a moment, Mu En analyzed, "First, this child's background is very clean. He is a commoner, so the resources available to him could not have been particularly abundant. Second, Jiang Nannan's soul ring configuration is the same as that of an ordinary genius: the standard two yellow and one purple. From this, we can see that not just anyone can successfully absorb them."

"So, does that mean he is the only person in this world capable of doing this?" Yan Shaozhe asked in surprise.

"No, there are others." Mu En shook his head in rebuttal.

"Who?" Yan Shaozhe was confused. Even top geniuses like Ma Xiaotao and Lexuan had absorbed soul rings according to the standards for ordinary geniuses. After all, one careless mistake with such things could result in immediate death or becoming an idiot.

"His descendants!"

Mu En narrowed his eyes and explained, "As long as his descendants can inherit these two martial souls, they will absolutely be able to do as he did, perhaps even better. By then, he will have all the resources and wealth he could want, allowing him to focus on cultivating his descendants."

"That isn't much of an issue. Although Jiang Nannan's martial soul is similar to Xiao Wu's, one of the first-generation Shrek Seven Devils, it is still far inferior to Li Changsheng's." Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement.

"That may be true, but Shaozhe, why do you assume the two of them will end up together?"

Mu En's lips curled upward as he hinted, "Are Xiaotao and Lexuan lacking in any way?"

"Mu En, you mean...?"

After understanding, Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly and reminded him, "There is no major problem on Xiaotao's side, but as for Lexuan, weren't you planning to marry her to Beibei?"

"Ah!"

Mu En sighed softly and said helplessly, "I did have that intention before, but who would have thought he would later fall for Tang Ya?"

"Since that is the case, why should I expose them? Better to take another direction and plan for Shrek Academy's future."

"Then how do we explain this to Jiang Nannan?"

Yan Shaozhe was still somewhat reluctant as he asked quietly.

"Does it need an explanation? This was a matter of mutual affection to begin with. We two old men merely connected the thread between them."

Mu En chuckled, completely unconcerned. "Besides, I never said we had to do this. You could also take him as your disciple and later pass your position to him. Wouldn't that lead to the same result?"

"It's just that, this way, Xiaotao's evil fire will be difficult to completely eradicate."

To completely free herself from the effects of the evil fire, she had to find a soul master with an ultimate ice attribute, become cultivation partners with him, and then consummate the relationship.

Honestly, even now, they did not know how Ma Xiaotao's ancestor from ten thousand years ago, Ma Hong Jun, had solved the problem of his evil fire.

The records showed that before ascending, Ma Hong Jun had married a woman named Bai Chenxiang. Her martial soul was the Swiftlet, which had absolutely nothing to do with the ice attribute.

"That's true!"

After giving it some thought and realizing that this was indeed the case, Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement.

Ma Xiaotao had grown up under his watch. In his heart, she was not only his disciple, but also like a daughter. Naturally, he wanted to help her escape the torment of her evil fire.

But he had the will without the means.

Why would he not want Ma Xiaotao to find a husband she loved? But what about the evil fire?

Moreover, given the current situation, there did not seem to be any male student whose talent and future could surpass Li Changsheng's.

So if they could be together, he would certainly be more than willing. The only question was whether their feelings could heat up quickly in the days to come.

If all else failed, Ma Xiaotao could be the first wife and Jiang Nannan the second. Who said a powerhouse could only marry one wife?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was a genius!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda suddenly appeared and helped Ma Xiaotao completely block Dai Yueheng's Sixth Soul Skill.

As one of the strongest defensive treasures of the primordial world, it displayed its peerless splendor at this moment.

"How is this possible?! I refuse to accept this! I don't believe it!"

Dai Yueheng's eyes turned blood-red. Unwilling to accept this reality, he directly unleashed three great soul skills.

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Body Protection Shield!"

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, White Tiger Demon God Transformation!"

With the enhancement of the three great soul skills, every attribute of Dai Yueheng's body rose dramatically.

"Dai Yueheng, you're panicking! Sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

After giving Li Changsheng a look of approval and gratitude, Ma Xiaotao's sixth soul ring suddenly lit up beneath her feet.

The next moment, countless flaming meteors crashed toward Dai Yueheng.
