Beibei, Dead

"How... could Elder Mu...?"

The sudden turn of events shocked everyone in Shrek Academy. The academy's Title Douluo naturally understood what this meant.

Yan Shaozhe especially refused to believe his own eyes, unwilling to accept any of it.

Elder Mu had clearly been fine not long ago. How had he fallen in the blink of an eye?

For a time, Shrek Academy was filled with an air of grief.

Within the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian also sensed Mu En's death.

"Why did it seem like ever since that brat Sheng Long became a Fierce Beast, good things had been coming one after another?"

Di Tian looked thoughtfully in the direction of Shrek Academy.

The sleeping Silver Dragon King had also awakened due to Mu En's death. Naturally, Di Tian would not miss this opportunity and hurriedly brought the Auspicious Beast to see Lord.

Within Shrek City, Jiang Heng sensed the dragon roar Mu En had released before dying, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"This really was an unexpected delight!"

With a casual move, he had actually sent Mu En on his way ahead of time.

He also knew that it would soon be time for him to reap the harvest.

However, there was no rush for now. He would wait another ten days or half a month and let Beibei cherish his final days properly.

Mu En's death was an unprecedented and enormous loss for Shrek Academy.

Only after Beibei woke up did he belatedly learn that his great-grandteacher was gone.

And the source of it all had actually been himself.

Looking at the things his great-grandteacher had left him, Beibei was deeply depressed.

At a time when he so desperately needed comfort, his girlfriend Tang Ya had vanished without a trace.

No matter how he searched, he could not find her.

Today, Beibei suddenly received a letter.

The letter's contents were simple: it contained Tang Ya's location.

She had actually gone alone to the Tang Sect Former Site to seek revenge.

One had to know that Xiao Ya was only a Soul Elder of just over rank thirty.

Beibei immediately grew anxious.

He had already lost too much. He had lost his senior sister, lost his great-grandteacher, and now he could not lose Xiao Ya as well.

Then, Beibei went alone to find Tang Ya.

When Beibei left Shrek City, Jiang Heng, hidden in the shadows, confirmed several times that no one was following or protecting him. He was utterly dumbfounded.

"This guy... was he really that innocent?"

He believed a letter that had simply been sent to him.

Then, without seeking out companions or elders, he set off alone just like that.

This was no longer mere innocence. He was a complete and utter fool.

After probing several times and repeatedly confirming that no one was secretly protecting Beibei, Jiang Heng chose to make his move.

Although Beibei only needed another day or two of travel to reach Tang Ya's location.

Jiang Heng had no interest in helping lovers reunite, so he did not let them see each other one last time before death.

After all, there were Evil Soul Masters on Tang Ya's side. Who could guarantee that no accident would occur?

"An immortal strokes my crown; an inch of force shatters the heavenly spirit!"

The instant he appeared, Jiang Heng smashed Beibei's head apart with a single palm strike.

Letting him die without any pain could be considered a good deed.

Afterward, he began inspecting Beibei's Storage Soul Tool.

Sure enough, the Dragon Core was really inside.

Although he had already been mentally prepared, Jiang Heng still found it hard to suppress his excitement after obtaining this Dragon Core.

After all, he could not be one hundred percent certain that Mu En would definitely pass the Dragon Core on to Beibei.

Fortunately, everything had turned out in the best possible way.

Other than the things on Beibei's body, he did not even spare the Radiant Sacred Dragon Bloodline within Beibei's body.

He stripped it away, looted everything, then turned him into a mist of blood with one palm strike.

His figure swiftly left the area.

Only after reaching a completely safe place did Jiang Heng begin examining the Dragon Core.

"Damn it, the former owner of this Dragon Core had been even stronger than I imagined!"

Feeling the immense power contained within the Dragon Core, Jiang Heng's body trembled slightly with excitement.

If his estimate was correct, the former owner of this Dragon Core had been at least a six-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. It might even have been seven hundred thousand years old.

Its strength had very likely reached the Demi-God realm.

But now, all of it was his.

He swallowed the Dragon Core into his stomach, slowly consuming and refining the power within.

Then he devoured the portion of Radiant Sacred Dragon Bloodline that had belonged to Beibei.

After stabilizing himself for a time and putting everything in order, he headed for the Sun Moon Empire.

With his strength, infiltrating the Sun Moon Empire was not difficult.

Learning the Sun Moon Empire's rank-one through rank-eight Soul Tools would not be difficult either.

The difficult part was rank-nine Soul Tools and things at an even deeper level.

For that, he needed a reasonable identity.

Most importantly, his true body was a Soul Beast. Although he could conceal his aura, he could not display soul rings in battle, which was still rather troublesome.

After thinking it over, Jiang Heng soon thought of someone.

Ye Guyi!

Perhaps he could use her identity to join the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.

But there was another problem. Once Ye Guyi's identity was exposed, she would become a thorn in the eyes of the Evil Soul Masters. If he disguised himself as her elder, he would have to deal with unnecessary trouble.

He had not forgotten that the Sun Moon Empire was the Evil Soul Masters' den.

"Perhaps I can guide her and make her the second variable in Tang San's eyes!"

After some thought, Jiang Heng quickly made his decision.

He would integrate into the Sun Moon Empire as Ye Guyi's elder.

Judging by the timeline, Ye Guyi was still under the protection of the Pingfan Alliance.

How could that be allowed?

Her elder could only be him.

Then Jiang Heng began to act.

There was no need for him to personally handle this sort of matter, lest he leave behind any future trouble.

He only needed to directly guide the Evil Soul Masters into attacking the Pingfan Alliance.

All it took was a simple piece of information: someone with the Holy Angel martial soul was hidden within the Pingfan Alliance.

To Evil Soul Masters, the Holy Angel's suppression was simply too great.

How could they allow her to grow up?

After finishing this matter, Jiang Heng found a place to continue cultivating.

The remnants of the True Dragon Blood Essence, the Dragon Core's assistance, the enhancement from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spirit Origin, the Radiant Sacred Dragon Bloodline he had just devoured... under the support of these things, Jiang Heng's cultivation rose rapidly at every moment.

By his estimate, in less than a year, his cultivation would easily rise to three hundred thousand years.

Because of that, he also had time to study some other things.

Naturally, he would not neglect Soul Tools.

He could properly study the Tang Sect's secret arts that he had obtained from Beibei.

Among them, the Mysterious Heaven Skill was of little use to him.

There were only two things he valued: the Purple Demon Eye and the Mysterious Jade Hand.

Of course, there were also the Tang Sect's mechanical Hidden Weapon designs, which could later be incorporated into Soul Tools.

He had already tried the Purple Demon Eye. Soul Beasts could cultivate it as well, helping him improve and control his spiritual power more effectively.

As for the Mysterious Jade Hand, it concerned another of his research projects.

He was very interested in the Body Sect's Flawless Golden Body from ten thousand years later, and some aspects of the Mysterious Jade Hand's cultivation could serve as reference.

If he wanted to rely on his existing conditions to cultivate a God-Tier Physique, he naturally had to gather as many corresponding cultivation theories and resources as possible.

Just as Jiang Heng was immersed in his research, the Evil Soul Masters attacked!
