Mu En Comes Out of Seclusion

Within Shrek Academy, Xian Lin'er looked at the scene within the Heavenly Curtain and sighed, "See, this is the gap between us and the Sun Moon Empire in terms of Soul Tools."

Qian Duoduo, who had come to the Sea God Pavilion to deliver Xian Lin'er's lunch, chimed in, "Yes, whether it's low-level or high-level Soul Tool Technology manufacturing, or the training of Soul Tool Masters, we're being crushed by the Sun Moon Empire."

One was the Dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department, the other the Vice Dean; naturally, they were qualified and capable of saying such things.

Especially Xian Lin'er, as one of the most top-tier Soul Tool Masters of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, could truly feel the gap.

The Sun Moon Empire openly had three Level Nine Soul Tool Masters, while their original Douluo Three Kingdoms? Their ceiling was only Level Eight and a half.

What did that half-level mean? Having the strength of a Titled Douluo, but being unable to create Soul Tools that only a Titled Douluo could use.

That's right, that so-called half-level was mostly just to save face.

Compared to the Sun Moon Empire, the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were far too backward, both in the development of Soul Tool Technology and the cultivation of Soul Tool talent.

"Since we're behind, why not just work hard to catch up to them?"

At that moment, a third voice suddenly rang out from the third floor of the Sea God Pavilion.

Hearing that extremely familiar voice, Xian Lin'er immediately turned her head to look.

The person who had just emerged from seclusion was the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En.

Seeing her teacher who had finished his seclusion, she said with immense excitement, "Teacher~ You're out of seclusion?!"

Then, she and Qian Duoduo hurried over to greet him.

Everyone at Shrek Academy had been hoping that Elder Mu would emerge from seclusion soon to take charge.

Because the Heavenly Curtain Monologue kept exposing major future events, even a powerhouse like Shrek couldn't help but feel a bit unsettled.

There was no choice; those future events were simply too huge, affecting the entire continent, so much so that Shrek Academy had to be on high alert and prepare in advance.

Although their pillar, Elder Mu, was in seclusion and couldn't oversee everything, the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion were no pushovers. They had immediately started thinking of solutions and taking action.

For instance, Elder Xuan had gone to the royal families of the three kingdoms for talks, and a more formal, official meeting might be held at Shrek Academy later.

Another example was Elder Song, who stayed at Shrek Academy to maintain order, prevent any troublemakers, and keep the academy stable...

Now, with Elder Mu out of seclusion, the stabilizing anchor was back in its rightful place.

"Teacher, have your injuries healed?!"

After the initial excitement, Xian Lin'er quickly noticed the changes in Elder Mu.

The former aura of decline was completely gone, replaced by surging vitality.

Most importantly, after coming out of seclusion, Elder Mu was walking upright!

"Yes, this seclusion was very fruitful~" Feeling the abundant power within him, Mu En couldn't help but sigh.

The Hundred Year Longevity Gu from another world had been even more effective than he had imagined.

After absorbing the Hundred Year Longevity Gu, Mu En seized the opportunity to absorb the power of many more Dragon Cores in one go.

Not only had his lifespan been extended by a hundred years, but the chronic ailments within his body were also completely suppressed, and the paralysis that had plagued him for over a century had finally been cured.

To put it bluntly, Mu En was now in his peak state.

A Limit Douluo who surpassed the other two Limit Douluo, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

The Dragon God Douluo, Mu En, who had shaken the continent and suppressed all Soul Masters, had returned!!

If he were to also utilize the power of the Golden Tree, Mu En's strength would become even more exaggerated.

"I heard the conversation between you two just now."

After their excitement had subsided a little, Mu En continued on the previous topic.

"Elder Mu, what do you mean?" Realizing what her teacher was implying, Xian Lin'er became excited again.

"Elder Mu, is the academy's Soul Tool Department about to undergo major development?!" Qian Duoduo directly voiced his deduction.

How else would they work hard to catch up? It had to be by vigorously developing the Soul Tool Department.

"Duoduo, you're right. From now on, the quality of students recruited for the academy's Soul Tool Department will be on par with the Martial Soul Department, and resources in related areas will be tilted towards it." Looking at the excited pair, Elder Mu gave them a reassurance.

In the past, Mu En had also wanted to reform the Soul Tool Department, focusing on cultivating Soul Tool talent and vigorously developing Soul Tool Technology.

But by the time Mu En belatedly realized this, his own physical condition no longer supported such a sweeping reform within Shrek Academy.

Even if he had forcibly started reforms within the academy, his remaining lifespan was too short to sustain them.

In the end, it would likely have fizzled out, ending anticlimactically and coming to nothing.

It was precisely for these reasons that Mu En had ultimately been unable to push through reforms at Shrek Academy.

But now it was different. Having received the Hundred Year Longevity Gu as a reward from the Heavenly Curtain, extending his life by a century, and having suppressed his chronic ailments, Mu En now had both the ability and the time to carry out sweeping reforms at Shrek Academy, making it completely new!!

"Alright, you two, first tell me what new things the Heavenly Curtain has revealed while I was in seclusion."

After initially discussing the matters related to developing the Soul Tool Department, Mu En shifted the topic back to the Heavenly Curtain.

The importance of the Heavenly Curtain was, of course, self-evident.

It could reveal the secrets of the past and allow one to glimpse a corner of the future, and those listed on it could even receive Opportunity Rewards that could change their fate.

So naturally, one had to keep a constant watch, not missing any useful information.

"This..." Qian Duoduo suddenly became somewhat embarrassed.

Beside him, Xian Lin'er was in the same state, as if there was some unspeakable reason.

Whether it was Long Xiaoyao's monologue or Ye Xishui's, both were extraordinary in their own way.

Although their teacher had moved on from that incident back then, he still didn't know the truth of the matter, nor did he understand what path his two old friends had taken.

As juniors, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo really couldn't say much more.

"Don't worry~ This old man has weathered countless storms, just speak your mind." Mu En said with a chuckle.

Looking at his two students' expressions, he could basically tell that the monologues of those behind him would contain information related to himself.

In that instant, he thought of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

"Alright, teacher."

After exchanging a glance with Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er ultimately stepped forward to explain to her teacher the monologue information that had been displayed on the Heavenly Curtain during his seclusion.
