Mu En didn't rush to leave.

His gaze focused on that incredibly handsome face.

That face looked somewhat familiar to Mu En.

It wasn't an old friend.

It was more like what Lu Heqiu, lying on the table, would look like when he grew up.

"Can you speak!?"

Mu En tentatively sent his voice towards the figure, but his voice couldn't even pass the first seal, being completely destroyed by lightning on its path.

Yet, the seated figure understood Mu En's meaning and pointed to the first chain, signaling Mu En to begin.

Mu En looked at the chain filled with lightning power, his heart beginning to hesitate.

This person didn't seem to have the aura of an evil soul master.

But why...

Was such a person sealed by these chains containing the aura of the Heavenly Dao?

Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi hadn't entered Lu Heqiu's sea of consciousness, so they couldn't see clearly. But Mu En, who had entered and could see clearly, became hesitant at this moment.

He didn't know if it was right to help unseal such a martial soul. If Lu Heqiu turned out like this in the future and walked the evil path, was that what he wanted to see!?

The figure seated in the sky didn't rush him, merely watching him quietly, his gaze still kind.

Mu En didn't know how long he hesitated.

His spiritual power still extended towards the first chain emitting lightning.

That chain was far more powerful than Mu En had imagined, but an incredibly terrifying aura erupted from Mu En. A Limit Douluo possessed power infinitely close to godhood in this world.

It was just without the blessing of a divine position.

The two powers collided.

Lu Heqiu's sea of consciousness began to churn, terrifying power sweeping through the entire world. The golden seawater boiled, but the phantom sitting above didn't move at all, just watched quietly.

His sea of consciousness could clearly withstand such fluctuations.

Otherwise, Mu En wouldn't have been able to enter.

Mu En didn't completely destroy the chain, as thick as a tree trunk. Instead, he created an opening on the chain, making its circulation less smooth. The lightning power of the entire chain was reduced by more than half.

The figure seated in the sky, locked by nine chains, shifted slightly. He waved his left hand a few times. He didn't break the chains, but he was clearly more comfortable than before.

Mu En withdrew from the sea of consciousness, fatigue evident on his face.

Unlike the upright phantom in the sea of consciousness.

He was still hunched in the Sea God Pavilion, like an ordinary old man. Even standing was extremely difficult for him.

"Teacher, was it successful?"

Yan Shaozhe immediately walked to Mu En's side and helped him sit down. They had no idea what Mu En had seen or done in the sea of consciousness. They only knew that Lu Heqiu, lying on the table, soon fell asleep.

His aura was gradually strengthening.

"I suppose it was a success."

"Go, help this child test his soul power."

Mu En's words were filled with fatigue, but his tone remained incredibly gentle.

Yan Shaozhe dared not delay and immediately flew out to the Soul Tool Department to get the device that could test soul power.

Xuan Zi also withdrew his aura at this moment and waved to the elders guarding the perimeter. The elders were curious but didn't fly towards the Sea God Pavilion. They had the right to know, but not now.

Elder Mu was clearly a bit tired. Even if the information needed to be passed on, it would have to wait until Elder Mu rested.

"What kind of martial soul does this kid have?"

Xuan Zi said as he walked to Lu Heqiu's side. Lu Heqiu also slowly opened his eyes at this moment, but his pupils were extremely sharp, unlike his casual expression before, as if he could see through everything in the world.

"Oh? You're awake?"

"Release your martial soul and let's take a look."

Xuan Zi fiddled with Lu Heqiu's fingers and said with a light laugh. This kid's awakening of a martial soul had the inner court on high alert. If he awakened some trash martial soul, it would be truly embarrassing.

Not only would Elder Mu be embarrassed, but he, Xuan Zi, wouldn't dare to speak of this matter.

Wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?

Lu Heqiu waved his little hands and turned over on the table. That small body actually managed to prop itself up and stand using the strength of its arms. Although he hadn't completely gotten used to this body, Lu Heqiu could finally perform some simple actions.

Shaking his head, standing, and walking, he could finally use the Golden Pond and the weakened power of the first seal to forcefully control himself for a moment, no longer having to act on instinct.

Things like crawling into Ma Xiaotao's bathroom before would likely not happen again as long as Lu Heqiu's divine sense was still present.

As for sleeping...

He still couldn't control that for now.

After all, his divine sense was also resting at that time!

"He's standing up!?"

Xuan Zi looked at Lu Heqiu, who had managed to stand up, with considerable surprise. Lu Heqiu's entire body looked only a few months old, yet he was now standing on the table, looking slightly up at Xuan Zi. His body swayed a little, but he remained standing.

Mu En watched him and repeated what Xuan Zi had said to Lu Heqiu.

"Release your martial soul and let us see."

Although he already had a guess in his heart.

He still wanted to witness it with his own eyes.

Lu Heqiu didn't refuse. A massive aura emanated from him. However, unlike all other soul masters releasing their martial souls, he didn't have the physical changes of a beast-type martial soul, nor did he directly hold a weapon-type martial soul in his hand.

Instead, a phantom appeared behind him.

That phantom was a full circle larger than Xuan Zi's.

Golden light permeated the air, exuding an immortal aura.

It was precisely the figure Mu En had seen in his spiritual sea, except this figure was no longer seated but stood straight, its eyes seeming to hold disdain for the Heavenly Dao.

Xuan Zi suddenly took a step back, looking at the phantom, clearly unsure how to evaluate it.

Weapon-type martial soul? Obviously not.

Beast-type martial soul? Could a human be considered a beast?

Body-type martial soul? Soul masters whose martial soul was their own body existed, like Du Busǐ, the sect master of the Body Sect, but Lu Heqiu's martial soul was completely different from his!

Du Busǐ's martial soul was his own body; whatever state his body was in, his martial soul reflected that.

Lu Heqiu before them was merely an infant. How could he possibly reflect his future appearance?!

Ma Xiaotao, watching from the side, was also somewhat mesmerized. The phantom was indeed exceedingly handsome. Was this how the little fellow would look in the future?

The moment Yan Shaozhe stepped into the Sea God Pavilion, he was also shocked by Lu Heqiu's martial soul.

This incomparably sacred power was even more sacred than his Bright Phoenix!

Mu En looked at the phantom, his eyes filled with admiration. If the people from the Body Sect knew about this, they would surely storm Shrek Academy and claim him as their disciple.

"Let the little fellow test his soul power."
