Sea God's Pavilion Elder Meeting! Song Yunzhi Takes an Unconventional Path!

Xian Lin'er: What? Mother, I have a Junior Brother now? You were actually willing to take in a disciple?

Qian Duoduo: Mother-in-law, just how much of a monster is this Huang Fei for you to take him as a Personal Disciple?

Cai Mei'er: Congratulations, Old Song, on gaining such a beloved disciple!

Yan Shaozhe: Congratulations, Old Song, on gaining such a beloved disciple!

Xuan Zi: Burp You actually took in a disciple—and a Personal Disciple at that. What a rare sight!

Mu En: This Child Huang Fei truly is extraordinary.

In an instant, the Sea God's Pavilion group became lively.

Everyone was extremely curious about what heaven-defying talent Huang Fei possessed to be accepted as a Personal Disciple by such a senior figure.

They quickly ordered people to gather information on Huang Fei, one of this year's Freshmen.

Their subordinates worked efficiently, and before long, they brought over a recording.

It showed the scene of Huang Fei fighting Cheng Hai.

His First Soul Ring was actually a Thousand Year purple ring.

And his Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass.

As a one-ring Soul Master, he fought three-ring Soul Elder Cheng Hai without falling into a Disadvantage.

His healing ability was terrifying, and so was his endurance.

"Such powerful individual combat ability, such powerful healing, and such incredible endurance—he is exactly the all-around talent I've been looking for!"

"I love him. He absolutely must become a student of our Martial Soul Department!"

"What a pity. Old Song got to him first. She stands with the Soul Tool Department."

"No, I have to find a way to bring Huang Fei into our Martial Soul Department."

"Looks like Elder Lin will have to step in personally."

"A talent like him absolutely cannot be buried by the Soul Tool Department!"

Inside the Martial Soul Department office, Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Outer Court, grew excited after watching the recording.

He decisively left to find Elder Lin.

Meanwhile, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo also began to take action on the Soul Tool Department's side.

In the Inner Court, within a Dormitory close to nature, Yan Shaozhe went to find Elder Lin.

She was an elderly woman.

Among the Elders, she was the Martial Soul Department's greatest supporter.

Her full name was Lin Hui'qun.

Her Martial Soul was the Sky Burning Fire Lion, and she was a Level 97 Super Douluo.

Her title was Blazing Sky.

"Elder Lin." Yan Shaozhe bowed respectfully.

Lin Hui'qun's aged voice sounded out. "Shaozhe, this Old Woman already knows why you have come. Huang Fei is indeed an outstanding child. He has forged a One in a Million path for Blue Silver Grass. That is truly rare."

She had also watched the recording of Huang Fei's battle.

Whether it was his Soul Ring configuration, combat awareness, abundant combat methods, or the strength to withstand a Three-Ring Soul Elder head-on, all of it pleased her greatly.

"That is precisely why a talent like him is better suited to the Martial Soul Department. We need to win him over."

"If such a talent goes to the Soul Tool Department, researching Soul Tools will surely cause him to waste his precious cultivation time during these crucial years."

"But he has already become Song Yunzhi's Personal Disciple. I am a junior, so I cannot go and say it myself. I can only ask you to step forward..."

"After all, you and Old Song are of the same generation..."

"Your words carry far more weight than mine."

Yan Shaozhe spoke in a low voice.

He truly wanted to win Huang Fei over.

"This will not be easy."

"If Huang Fei had not taken Song Yunzhi as his master, I could have brought him into the Martial Soul Department under the identity of an Academy Student."

"But now he is Song Yunzhi's Personal Disciple. The meaning of that status speaks for itself. It is far closer than merely being an Academy Student. Moreover, she released a message in the Sea God's Pavilion group, making her stance clear—she does not want us poaching him. If we insist on going anyway... it will indeed be difficult..."

Lin Hui'qun also found the matter rather troublesome.

"Then... what should we do..."

"If Huang Fei truly studies Soul Tools, then such a talent will really be wasted."

Yan Shaozhe was at a loss.

Even Elder Lin had said so.

But upon consideration, Elder Lin's concerns were understandable.

A Personal Disciple and an Academy Student were not the same concept...

"Fine. We will do our best. Let us speak with them first. If that truly does not work, we can only ask Mu En to step forward and take charge."

After thinking it over, Lin Hui'qun did not refuse outright. She truly wanted to win Huang Fei over as well, and she was especially curious about and eager to see his future. Thus, she intended to make every effort.

Thus, everyone gathered at Sea God's Pavilion.

They sat divided into two sides.

On one side was the Soul Tool Department, led by Song Yunzhi.

On the other was the Martial Soul Department, led by Lin Hui'qun.

Although neither side made a move directly,

the tension in their exchanged gazes was unmistakable.

Originally, Shrek Academy had always supported the Martial Soul Department.

However, after Soul Tools rose to prominence, the Soul Tool Department split off from the Martial Soul Department.

From then on, the Martial Soul Department and Soul Tool Department became competitors.

Of course, there was a limit to their competition. They stopped at the appropriate point and would not truly damage their most fundamental bottom line.

This was also permitted.

Because only competition could bring progress to a world.

The same was true for an academy.

What was more, after the Soul Tool Department emerged, Shrek Academy's Soul Tool technology had visibly improved.

Although there was still a considerable gap compared to the Sun Moon Empire,

it still ranked among the best across the entire continent.

"It is rare for us to gather like this. Only a Sea God's Pavilion Elder Meeting could bring us together."

"Old Song, let me first congratulate you on taking in such an outstanding Personal Disciple."

Looking at Song Yunzhi, Lin Hui'qun was the first to speak.

"Yes, Old Song, congratulations."

The Others also gave this second-ranked figure sufficient respect.

In truth, Lin Hui'qun and Song Yunzhi were both Level 97 Super Douluos. They were both second-ranked figures among the Elders and stood on equal footing.

Within all of Shrek Academy, they were likewise third-ranked figures of the same level.

"This Old Woman is indeed very happy today."

"Xiao Fei truly is a rare talent."

"This Old Woman does not misjudge people."

"Just say it. What is the real reason you came here this time?"

Song Yunzhi picked up her teacup and slowly took a sip, speaking unhurriedly.

They were both old foxes who had lived for centuries. There was no need to keep pretending here.

They understood each other well.

"Fine. Since you, Old Song, are so straightforward, I will not beat around the bush either."

"Huang Fei is a talent with an exceptional mind for developing Martial Souls. I hope he can join our Martial Soul Department. Our Martial Soul Department will nurture him with all our strength."

After speaking, Lin Hui'qun picked up the cup on the tea table and drank slowly.

"Fine. I agree."

Song Yunzhi set down her teacup and spoke calmly.

"????"

The moment those words were spoken, everyone present looked utterly bewildered.

Both sides were stunned.

They all stared at Song Yunzhi in disbelief.

Since when had this powerful figure become so easy to talk to?

Everyone present felt rather unaccustomed to it.

"Mother, that will not do! Junior Brother must join our Soul Tool Department. We will also nurture him with all our strength."

"Yes, Mother-in-law. Junior Brother's talent is so exceptional. He is perfectly suited to become an Extreme Soldier. When his Martial Soul works together with Soul Tools, he will become an incredibly terrifying Extreme Soldier King!"

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo both became anxious.

They had thought their mother would never yield on this matter.

Yet she had agreed just like that?

This was beyond their expectations.

After all, they understood Song Yunzhi's temperament best.
