Mu En's Compromise

"Kids, the championship you won this time is definitely one of the most prestigious in the history of the academy."

"Your deeds will be recorded in the academy, and Shrek will forever remember your contributions."

"After deliberation at the Sea God Pavilion Meeting, it has been decided to award you the following prizes. As the champions of this competition, you have received a total of four Soul Bone."

"As is customary, these Soul Bone are to be given to the seven of you to consume internally, but considering your contributions to the academy this time..."

"The academy has decided to give you three more Soul Bone, making a ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone for each of you. Moreover, the selection is based on your abilities and characteristics, ensuring that Soul Bone is the most suitable for you."

"Furthermore, to recognize your defense of the academy's honor, all members of the Sea God Pavilion have decided to bestow upon you the title of Shrek Seven Devils, for life!"

None of these Soul Bone Soul Bone were suitable for Chen Yuan. Electrolux Chen Yuan the Phantom Wing Flying Luan skull into equipment.

The equipment in the Holy Demon Continent is much more convenient than irreplaceable Soul Bone. It allows you to use skills and also absorb a better skull in the future.

For Chen Yuan, the honorary title of "Lifetime Shrek Seven Devils" was not as valuable as having another Soul Bone.

This title is practically useless in the original work; almost no one knows about it, and it's only used to show off when someone wants to be pretentious.

Even those within Shrek Academy themselves were unaware that someone had earned the title of "Lifetime Shrek Seven Devils."

This reward is purely for teasing the kids.

With this title, can Chen Yuan blame everything on Shrek Academy when he gets into trouble in the future?

No, that's not good. It will only entangle him more and more with Shrek. Unless the Sea God Pavilion Master is Bei Bei, Chen Yuan doesn't want to have too much involvement with Shrek in the future.

Everyone except Chen Yuan was excited, including Ning Tian. With this identity, she could do more things.

Yan Shaozhe was somewhat surprised that he didn't see any excitement on Chen Yuan's face.

Even the title of "Shrek Seven Devils" couldn't stir any strong emotions in Chen Yuan? Or was he secretly overjoyed?

It should be the latter, right?

As the dean of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe also represented Shrek in the competition during his youth. When he became one of the Shrek Seven Devils of that generation, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

He believed that no one in the world was immune to the title of Shrek Seven Devils.

Yan Shaozhe stepped aside and bowed respectfully to the person sitting at the end of the long table.

"Teacher, is there anything else you want to say to these children?"

"Ahem, you kids, your performance this time has exceeded my expectations. Originally, I was thinking of giving you some experience in advance, so that even if you lost, you could win it back in the next competition."

"As a result, you won the championship of this competition with your absolute strength. Of course, now that you have become the Lifetime Shrek Seven Devils, you must shoulder this responsibility."

"Chen Yuan, come help me up."

Upon hearing Mu En's words, Chen Yuan immediately stepped forward to help the old man lying on the recliner to his feet. After standing up, Mu En's body was bent forward at a ninety-degree angle.

Not seeing the expression he wanted on Chen Yuan's face, Mu En felt that this kind of identity reveal was no longer very entertaining.

Seeing that the Sea God Pavilion Master was an old man sunbathing at the dormitory entrance, everyone except Bei Bei gaped in astonishment, especially Xiao Xiao, who recalled the scene when Chen Yuan took her to Mu En to experiment with Martial Soul Fusion.

So the big shot was right next to me all along?

"Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao, Chen Yuan, Xiao Xiao, the five of you will stay and cultivate with me for a while."

"Ning Tian, Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's research on the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul is unmatched. Even Shrek Academy can't offer you much help. Why don't you go with Wang Yan to the Library?"

"Jiang Nannan will be taught by Cai Mei'er. Meeting adjourned!"

Almost the instant Mu En announced the end of the meeting, all the elders disappeared. Yan Shaozhe and the others bowed to Mu En and then left the Sea God Pavilion.

Jiang Nannan left with Cai Mei'er, and Ning Tian also went with Wang Yan to Shrek's Library, hoping to find another way to evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul Evolution there.

"Bei Bei, you're not being fair! You have such a powerful background, and you didn't even tell me. You just kept it hidden from me. Are you even a friend?"

"Who has nothing better to do than constantly talk about their background? Mystic Ancestor, why didn't you keep Jiang Nannan and Ning Tian here as well?"

As they spoke, Bei Bei came to Mu En's other side and helped him up.

"Mystic Ancestor?!"

Xu Sanshi screamed, his eyes darting back and forth between Bei Bei and Mu En. He had originally thought Bei Bei was from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, but it turned out she was a genuine member of Shrek Academy!

Mystic Ancestor is still the current Sea God Pavilion Master. This background surpasses 99% of the people on the entire continent, yet Bei Bei stubbornly keeps it hidden.

Mu En actually quite liked Xu Sanshi's rudeness; this was a normal person's reaction, unlike Chen Yuan who remained calm and collected, as if he knew everything.

Mu En looked at Bei Bei, knowing that his junior was asking him why he treated them differently. Even if those two were Support System and Agility Attack System, the insights of a Limit Douluo would be enough for them to benefit from for a lifetime.

"Regarding the limitation that the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda can only be cultivated to the Soul Saint, unless a god intervenes, no one can overcome it on their own, and I am no exception."

"Historically, only Ning Rongrong's ancestor broke the curse of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda by consuming the legendary immortal Immortal Herb, the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Martial Soul Evolution into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

"Going to the Library to look at the materials Shrek Academy has researched over the past ten thousand years will benefit that little girl. Maybe she can find a way by analogy. Even if she doesn't find one, it will enrich her knowledge and help her succeed as the sect leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect in the future."

"As for Jiang Nannan, her talent is the worst among you all. If Ning Tian's future wasn't locked at the seventh ring cultivation level, I think she would have the lowest cultivation level among you in the future."

"Let her cultivate with Mei'er for now."

"Alright, enough chit-chat. The sooner we finish, the sooner you can see that girl Tang Ya."

With a wave of his hand, Mu En's surroundings changed rapidly. The original Sea God Pavilion disappeared, replaced by a spacious hall.

"The Sea God Pavilion is located on the continent's only Golden Tree, and this is its interior. My ancestors at Shrek painstakingly carved the interior of the Golden Tree into its present form."

"Each passageway here has numerous rooms, and you can find a simulated environment suitable for almost all martial souls."

"Xiao Xiao, the second door of the third entrance on the left; Bei Bei, the third door of the first entrance on the right; Xu Sanshi, the fourth door of the second entrance on the right; Huo Yuhao, the end of the first entrance on the right."

Mu En turned to look at Chen Yuan, pondered for a moment, and finally gave his answer.

"Chen Yuan, go to the first door on the third door on the left."

Everyone immediately went to their rooms as Mu En had instructed.

Chen Yuan was quite close to his destination. After pushing open the door, he found himself in complete darkness, unable to see anything.

Chen Yuan was somewhat puzzled and was about to try entering when a ball of flame suddenly rose in the room, then spread to both sides, illuminating the entire room.

As soon as he sat down on the futon in the center of the room, the fire element in the room surged toward Chen Yuan Chen Yuan, as if it were trying to please him.

"Chen Yuan, how are you feeling?"

"Not bad."

Mu En's voice came directly into Chen Yuan's ears, as if Mu En were standing right next to Chen Yuan.

"Everyone who becomes Inner Court disciple here gets one opportunity for meditation. Because of your outstanding performance, I'm allowing you to use this opportunity ahead of time."

Chen Yuan remained silent, not intending to answer. Even if he became a student of Shrek Inner Court, he would never join that Inspector Group, which was nothing more than a joke.

The silence didn't last long; Mu En's sigh echoed throughout the room.

"Are you disappointed in Shrek now? Because Xuan Zi caused problems leading the team?"

"Yes, for a Super Douluo to lead a team and still make such a big mistake, it would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed."

"Sigh, I also think everything Xuan Zi has done is outrageous. If there were someone more suitable to take over the academy than Xuan Zi, I would have crippled him long ago."

"I initially noticed you because of Bei Bei, but later I discovered that you were much more hardworking than Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi. Until a year ago, you and Xiao Xiao actually possessed Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"It was around that time that I noticed the abnormal source power within your martial soul, and it was also around that time that I conceived the idea of taking you as my disciple and imparting to you the Soul Skill I created."

"It seems my plans are going to fail."

Chen Yuan was surprised. He could guess Mu En Chen Yuan's intention in passing on the Reign Over the World to him, otherwise he wouldn't have modified Reign Over the World his own version.

Mu En's tone was full of dejection. Chen Yuan hadn't used "Reign Over the World" in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, which was Chen Yuan's way of rejecting him.

"I will never forget your kindness, senior. I will do my best to help Bei Bei in the future."

"That's not what I want to hear. Never mind, Shrek is your alma mater. I hope you can promise that you will never stand against Shrek Academy again."

"I can guarantee that as long as Shrek Academy doesn't provoke me in the future, I will not stand against Shrek, and Bei Bei will always be my friend."

That's good then.

From the fire element's attentiveness to Chen Yuan in this room, Mu En could confirm that Chen Yuan had become the Ultimate Fire.

A genius with Ultimate Fire, he is very likely to be a core fighting force in the future war against the Sun Moon Empire.

Stifling such a genius will likely result in countless more deaths in the future.

Mu En had been observing Chen Yuan for a long time; he had even visited that Small Lake Village and witnessed the relationship between Chen Yuan and Gong Changlong.

Given the friendship between Bei Bei and Chen Yuan, Mu En believed that if Shrek were to face difficulties in the future, Chen Yuan would certainly not remain indifferent.

The premise is that no one in Shrek would be so brain-dead as to intentionally ruin this family tradition.

In Mu En's eyes, Chen Yuan has a greater than 50% chance of becoming Limit Douluo in the future.

Bei Bei is his only descendant in this world, and with a friend like Chen Yuan, Mu En can feel more at ease.

"You still need to join the Inner Court. This was clearly stated in the contract you signed with Shrek. How about we make another deal on the condition that you don't have to join the Inspector Group?"

"I wonder what kind of deal you're referring to this time, senior? As long as it's not beyond my capabilities, I'll definitely agree."

"In the future, if you ever encounter an Evil Soul Master named Ye Xishui, kill her if you are strong enough."

Did you kill Ye Xishui?

Chen Yuan was stunned. He clearly remembered the entanglement between this Death God Douluo and the Black and White Holy Dragons.

It was unlucky for Mu En to run into such a crazy couple.

Ye Xishui clearly liked Long Xiaoyao, but because of her teacher Zhongli Old Ghost's request, she deliberately got close to Mu En, and then deliberately lost her virginity to Long Xiaoyao on her wedding day.

They've managed to sow discord between the Black and White Holy Dragons to this point.

Later, she even had a son named Zhongli Wu with Zhongli Old Ghost, who is probably still there putting on a show for Long Xiaoyao.

Throughout the entire process, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao were completely outmaneuvered by Ye Xishui.

Especially Long Xiaoyao, who still thinks he has wronged Ye Xishui and ruined her relationship with his good brother Mu En, and has already joined the Holy Spirit Cult as a Supreme Elder.

Seeing Chen Yuan's stunned expression, Mu En assumed that Chen Yuan did not know who Ye Xishui was, so he told Chen Yuan about his past when he was young.

"My old friend fell into the trap of becoming Evil Soul Master because of some things. I took pity on her and let her live."

"Her talent is no less than mine; she's probably already Limit Douluo- level Evil Soul Master. Evil Soul Master's combat power far surpasses that of others at the same level."

"If there's anything I regret in this world, it's letting her go. Countless Evil Soul Master at the Limit Douluo level have died at her hands."

"Whether you meet her in the future or not, you don't need to join the Shrek Inspectorate."
