My son Yun Ze has the potential to become a god.

Originally, Yun Ze did not much care for the sentiment Yun Ming often expressed about remembering that he was a part of the academy.

It sounded too much like the brainwashing from the era of the second generation, but seeing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Spirit Soul now, he couldn't help but feel his irritation subside slightly.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, this was a genuinely good thing.

Compared to the empty promises of the past, at least Yun Ming was actually giving him something, and upon closer reflection, Yun Ze realized he didn't really have much room to act for the greater good at the expense of his family.

Given his connections and this martial soul, even if he did try to act righteously, no one would believe him.

Since that was the case, beyond cultivation and study, changing some of the filth and corruption within Shrek Academy seemed especially important.

As Yun Ze thought this to himself, the gaze he directed toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Spirit Soul revealed his determination.

Things had reached this point; Yun Ze had no way to retreat. Or rather, from the moment he transmigrated to this Douluo Continent, his stance had already been set.

As he reached out his hand, it felt as if it were destined; the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Spirit Soul held no hostility toward him at all.

As Yun Ze extended his hand, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Spirit Soul also took a step forward, and a small golden paw rested in the palm of his hand.

A Spirit Soul Fusion Seal, several times more profound than a standard fusion, manifested between the man and the beast.

Yun Ze felt this surging power, while the profound Yun Ming silently opened his arms.

Invisible soul power transformed into a barrier, isolating everything here from the outside world.

Yun Ze's attempt to fuse with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Spirit had been approved by the Sea God Pavilion meeting, but this specific outcome could not be known to anyone else.

There were two ways to fuse with this Spirit Soul. The first was a legacy fusion, the conventional method; after the host died, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Spirit Soul could rely on its own Power of Fate to return to the fortune line of Shrek.

It was equivalent to merely accompanying the host for a journey, but now, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was not choosing this method of fusion.

Instead, it was drawn by Yun Ze's own fortune, forming the legendary permanent fusion.

It was completely detaching from the fate line of Shrek Academy and binding itself tightly to the fate of Yun Ze.

This exceeded the expectations of all the Sea God Pavilion elders, including Yun Ming.

Yun Ming felt the Power of Fate gradually manifesting on Yun Ze and suddenly sensed that it seemed to harmonize with a certain celestial phenomenon.

"Truly a divine appearance of heaven's standing. My son, Yun Ze, has the potential to become a god."

Before this, Yun Ming had only hoped that Yun Ze could be a ruler who maintained the status quo, relying on his innate talent to reach Limit Douluo early and protect Shrek Academy alongside him; that would have been enough to satisfy his life.

But now, seeing that Yun Ze's fate had such great fluctuations, enough to attract an existence like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Spirit Soul to stay for a lifetime, his mindset underwent some changes.

No father wanted his only son to be anything less than the best. Previously, Yun Ming wanting Yun Ze to guard Shrek for his whole life was, in his view, essentially the best and safest path for him.

But now the situation had changed; Yun Ze clearly had a much broader path ahead.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion Spirit Soul seemed to be able to sense the uniqueness of Yun Ze's Heaven-Propping Spear and Heaven-Surpassing Spear martial souls.

After providing the first soul ring for the Heaven-Propping Spear, it unexpectedly generated a yellow, hundred-year soul ring for the Heaven-Surpassing Spear as well.

Feeling the soul skill that had appeared in each of his two spears, Yun Ze felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Although in his past life he had often mocked Douluo Continent as the "sewer of fantasy" and played many memes about its power levels.

But at the end of the day, this was a fantasy world, a world where the great power of heaven and earth could be imbued within one's body.

With just a casual swing of the Heaven-Propping Spear and the Heaven-Surpassing Spear, the surrounding air was distorted by the sharpness attached to the spear tips.

Yun Ming looked at Yun Ze at this moment, his eyes filled with a degree of admiration.

"It seems you have adapted very quickly to the changes after absorbing the Spirit Soul. Follow your Uncle Guan Yue for the next two days and study spear techniques diligently."

"After a few days, I will search through the Sea God Pavilion's collection to find a soul power cultivation method suitable for you."

Yun Ze looked at Yun Ming and said, "Father, shouldn't you give me a place to adapt to my new soul skills?"

Yun Ming shook his head and said, "There is no rush for such things; I have my own arrangements. Intervening in actual combat too early is also a form of harm to your psychology and spirit. After all, actual combat in this era involves mental damage."

Yun Ze nodded. This was quite different from what he had originally expected. Based on his stereotypical impression of Shrek from his past life, Yun Ze had assumed that as soon as he finished gaining his soul power, he would be dragged off to fight a battle.

It was so scientific that it didn't feel like Shrek at all.

After following Guan Yue to learn spear techniques for over a month, Yun Ze was completely different from how he had been a month ago.

Thin calluses had already appeared on his hands. Guan Yue's training method was extremely rigorous, yet it also contained a certain logic.

It wasn't the chaotic training of people like Zhou Yi from his past life; instead, every time his body was pushed to its absolute limit, he would be thrown into a medicinal bath made of herbs whose names Yun Ze couldn't identify.

After his body was pushed to the limit, his pores would open wide, and each time he would absorb seven or eight tenths of the entire vat of medicine.

Yun Ze's body also gradually turned fair, as if it were carved from white jade.

Yun Ze felt that his entire body was gradually undergoing a transformation, and those medicinal baths seemed to be of great help in absorbing the Spirit Soul.

Yun Ze could feel that he was gradually becoming closer and closer to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Spirit Soul.

Although he hadn't practiced it deliberately, he had a deeper, underlying understanding of the soul skills bestowed by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

It was as if his intelligence had been unlocked by the medicine.

On this day, after being called up by Guan Yue, Yun Ze stepped out of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion for the first time.

Sitting on the Soul Guidance Train, Yun Ze looked at Guan Yue in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Teacher, where are we going?"

Guan Yue smiled slightly, his tone calm as he spoke.

"A Simulation Training Room under Shrek, the actual combat you've been looking forward to is about to arrive."

Yun Ze narrowed his eyes; after more than a month of training, he had already learned to restrain his emotions and not let them show.

Simulated combat, huh? That's interesting.

He just didn't know if the simulated targets would be soul beasts, some figure from Shrek, or a master from the history of the Douluo Continent.

It was truly strange that an industry under Shrek would be located outside of Shrek City.

Guan Yue looked up at the ceiling of the Soul Guidance Train and closed his eyes to rest, looking completely unbothered.

Seeing Guan Yue like this, Yun Ze stopped bothering him and simply rested his chin on his hand, watching the scenery outside the window.

This was his first time leaving Shrek, and the scenery of the Federation was actually quite nice; at least it wasn't as bad as Yun Ze had imagined.

If one ignored the few thugs with tattooed arms flashing past...
