"Your ambitions are certainly grand. But I never expected you to quietly set your sights on this."

At the dormitory Training Ground, Mu Ye sat upright, his expression complicated as he looked at Feng Zaixing, who had perked himself up for Night School after sending Yu Xin back to her room.

"Setting everything else aside, you've trained desperately for the past two years. It really is time for you to rest. Even the hardest-working students in Shrek Academy's Inner Court train only half as much as you do."

Feng Zaixing stretched his arms, and his entire body crackled with popping bones as he smiled at him.

"Didn't I finally relax for once today? Other than accompanying Na'er, I usually don't even leave the house."

"Without the resolve to train myself to the limit, I'm not worthy of being your and Teacher Hua's student, much less worthy of my Martial Soul."

From comprehending Sword Intent to grasping the Element Heart, from breaking through to Soul Grandmaster to becoming a Level 5 Blacksmith, even Mu Ye and A Ruheng sometimes sighed that they could not compare to his cultivation pace. He had dragged them into training themselves to the bone alongside him.

By now, A Ruheng was already close to Seven Rings, and his Innate Secret Method was rising steadily. Only Mu Ye still clung to his Mecha without letting go.

Because of this, Feng Zaixing secretly resolved to find an expert to suppress Mu Ye in the future, temporarily confiscate his Mecha, and force him to focus wholeheartedly on cultivating Soul Power and advancing his realm.

If Mu Ye refused to walk the "proper path," then Feng Zaixing would have no choice but to force-feed him a hundred-thousand-year Immortal Grade and invite this teacher of his to ascend as Supreme Sect Master. He believed the ancestors of the Primal Body Sect would certainly approve of his decision.

Desperate times called for desperate measures. Reviving the Primal Body Sect was not his responsibility alone. There was no way he would exhaust himself while his teacher sat back and reaped the rewards. They all had to get up and grind.

Naturally, Mu Ye had no idea that this disciple's "butcher's blade" dealt indiscriminate map-wide damage. After offering a few words of comfort, he turned to Yu Xin with a gossipy look on his face.

"You and that little girl from the Yu Family are quite close. You discussed something this important with her First Thing."

Feng Zaixing rolled his eyes slightly and looked at him. "Teacher, your role in this matter comes during the later negotiations. You can't really help much in the early or middle stages."

"When we get to the Negotiation Table, remember to insist that we're the victims and Shrek is the great villain. Then dig up old dirt and settle old scores. First, demand that Shrek unconditionally hand over the Primal Body Secret they've owed us for ten thousand years. The harsher you curse them, the better."

"Remember, it must be handed over unconditionally. This cannot be counted among the compensation. Spirit Ice Douluo was shameless enough to steal our sect's ultimate art, and Shrek was even more shameless, occupying it for ten thousand years without ever mentioning returning it. It's simply outrageous..."

Worried that Mu Ye, who did not have much literary refinement in him, might get taken advantage of, Feng Zaixing painstakingly explained the key points of the negotiation, even bringing out props and acting it out himself with great emotion.

Mu Ye's Eyes lit up repeatedly. He seriously suspected that this kid had been an actor in his previous life. It did not look like an act at all!

If he lost control and went berserk In Front Of A Group Of peers, exposing that dark chapter of history, wouldn't Shrek's reputation stink to high heaven?

"Mm-hm, I understand. Don't worry, I definitely won't let down your expectations."

Mu Ye nodded again and again. The more he thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed. As expected of the successor to the next generation's sect master whom he had chosen. Other than not cultivating the Innate Secret Method, there was not a single regret.

But then again, even if he wanted to teach Feng Zaixing the Innate Secret Method now, the Primal Body Sect did not have sufficient resources...

"Good. The plan will be Activated next year. For now, aside from keeping an eye on those Shrek trash, cultivation is the most important thing. Please guard me tonight, Teacher. Let's relax for once and cultivate in a different way."

Feng Zaixing brushed his Storage Ring and took out the jade box containing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. He opened it and began eating from the enormous flower core, then consumed the petals one by one. After that, he sat cross-legged in meditation and circulated the Modified Mysterious Heaven Skill, disguised on the surface as the Primal Body Sect's Meditation Method, to absorb the medicinal power.

Using the Modified Mysterious Heaven Skill to refine the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum gave Feng Zaixing a strange feeling for an instant. But in the next moment, he erased that stray thought and entered deep meditation with his entire being.

At once, the petals and flower core, which melted upon entering his mouth, turned into streams of warmth that merged with his Soul Power. They flowed through his Meridians, connecting his limbs and extending through the Eight Meridians. His Entire Body felt warm and comfortable.

Watching Feng Zaixing circle back to cultivation after only a few sentences, Mu Ye quickly shook his head and chuckled. This disciple would never repeat his mistakes. He would become an unprecedented, peerless Quasi-God.

A short while later.

Feng Zaixing's Soul Power began to stir. The medicinal power merged with his Soul Power and circulated through his body in a Great Cycle, steadily yet unhurriedly striking at his bottleneck.

Seeing This, Mu Ye muttered to himself, "With an Immortal Grade to aid him, he'll definitely become a Soul Elder within a year. A nine-year-old Soul Elder... aside from the Six-Winged Angel Soul Master in Spirit Hall's history, no one has ever been faster."

Just as Mu Ye expected, the medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum rapidly spread, like a surging river washing through every tendon and Meridian in Feng Zaixing's body.

Feeling the changes in his body, Feng Zaixing suddenly had an idea. He pushed his Blood Qi toward a special tendon and Meridian, activating the Acquired Secret Method he cultivated.

This is an opportunity. I can try opening the Eight Meridians, perhaps even undergo a Second Awakening...

Gradually, a faintly visible special Meridian on Feng Zaixing's back glowed with a blood-red hue, while his skin began to emit a faint red light.

"What's going on?"

Mu Ye's expression changed in shock. Something unexpected was happening to Feng Zaixing. It was as though a new tendon and Meridian had been opened.

As the Primal Body Sect Master, Mu Ye's instincts quickly locked onto the corresponding Meridian within Feng Zaixing. It was a Meridian that was innately blocked in the human body. Opening it would undoubtedly bring benefits, but it also carried dangers. The Primal Body Sect had rarely studied it before.

After all, they had not even finished researching their own body parts, and there were all kinds of secret methods to cultivate. Who had the time to study anything else? Throughout history, almost no one had ever possessed a Martial Soul of tendons and Meridians.

What happened next left Mu Ye staring dumbfoundedly.

Intense Blood Qi and dazzling soul light erupted from Feng Zaixing's body. Heaven and Earth Origin Power seemed to answer a summons and surged toward him, condensing behind the youth wreathed in Blood Qi into a massive Humanoid Phantom seven or eight meters tall.

The phantom's Entire Body was Silver-white and emitted a terrifying aura like that of a mighty Giant Beast.

"Th-this... a Silver-level Second Awakening? Is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum really this potent?"

Mu Ye was tongue-tied, briefly not knowing what words to use to describe the scene before him.

Throughout the Primal Body Sect's history, Second Awakening had been its most important inheritance and the foundation of why Body Martial Souls surpassed other Martial Souls. Yet the lowest level at which anyone had ever completed a Second Awakening in the sect's history was Three Rings, as a Soul Elder.

Feng Zaixing had completed his Second Awakening at Two Rings, undoubtedly creating another record despairing enough to crush others, even if he had consumed an Immortal Grade.

Wealth was part of strength. If eating a few flowers and herbs could trigger a Second Awakening, Mu Ye would gladly distribute one to every member of the sect.

Now he understood why the Tang Sect had endured for so long. Those Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes were a peerless foundation. He wondered how Tang Sect ancestor Tang San had discovered such a treasure land.

Next year, I'll have to fight with everything I've got when we argue. Even if I have to cry in public, This Sect Master must extort a few more Immortal Grades from the Tang Sect!

Mu Ye made up his mind. From tonight onward, he would study how to insult people and learn how to cry.

Two hours later, the phenomena surrounding Feng Zaixing dissipated, and the spectacular sight of countless streams returning to the sea came to an end. He rose to his full height, seeming to have grown a little taller, straight and upright like a pine.

"The Yin Wei Meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians has been opened. My Soul Power is at level twenty-six. Not bad."

Calculating the changes within himself, Feng Zaixing revealed a knowing smile. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum had greatly increased his potential. It truly deserved to be called a top-tier thousand-year Spirit Object.

Legend had it that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could forge an indestructible diamond body. The claim was admittedly exaggerated, but its benefits were real enough. Below Soul King, there would not be many people capable of breaking through his defenses.

Opening one of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians increased the speed at which he absorbed Heaven and Earth Origin Power to recover by more than twenty percent. It would greatly benefit him in prolonged battles in the future.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Zaixing took out a copied paper scroll and handed it to Mu Ye.

"Teacher, during the battle at the Spirit Ascension Platform this afternoon, I saw that fellow from the Star Luo Empire had a rather good footwork technique, so I carefully memorized it. Please offer some guidance."

"Oh? That's another good thing."

Mu Ye smiled as he took the scroll and read through it, but his expression quickly changed.

"This is the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track."

Feng Zaixing feigned surprise, his eyes shifting as he played dumb. "Tang Sect? What Tang Sect? What does This Sect's Battle Skill have to do with the Tang Sect?"

"Heh, Zaixing, what you said is just..."

Mu Ye was about to rebuke him when a flash of insight suddenly struck his mind.

That was right. His disciple had memorized this footwork through his own ability. What the hell did it have to do with the Tang Sect?

"Teacher, what did you say? What's wrong with what I said?" Feng Zaixing asked with a smile.

Mu Ye coughed twice without changing his expression, his face breaking into a broad grin. "Of course, it makes perfect sense! Hahahaha... Hahahahaha..."

The wheel of fate turns, and Heaven spares no one. Tang Sect, so closely tied to Shrek, you have your day at last!
