Huo Yuhao hurriedly said respectfully:
"Elder Mu, please."
Mu En smiled and waved his hand, taking the box and nodding gently at him.
The surrounding crowd instantly held their breath, everyone's gaze locked tightly onto Mu En, not daring to even draw a full breath.
That was the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, one of the few remaining Limit Douluo on the entire continent!
Even Elder Mu had to buy this Huo's Excrement?!
Under the gaze of the crowd, Mu En did not hesitate in the slightest, tilting his head back and swallowing all the excrement inside.
What were they seeing?
The Dragon God Douluo was actually eating dung!
"He ate it! Elder Mu actually ate it!"
"I wonder what the effect will be? Elder Mu's body..."
Suppressed whispers broke out in the crowd; everyone craned their necks, staring fixedly at Mu En, their eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation.
The next second, Mu En's originally cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt a warm current spread throughout his entire body.
He couldn't help but tilt his head back and let out a long, resonant roar, the sound carrying a sense of relief and majestic soul power that had been suppressed for far too long!
Following this dragon-like roar, dots of pearly white holy light suddenly radiated from Mu En's body.
His back, which had been so hunched it could barely straighten, slowly straightened up bit by bit under the shocked gazes of the crowd!
His face, originally withered and covered in wrinkles, regained a rosy vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Strands of dark hair even began to grow back amidst his graying locks, and his cloudy eyes became clear and sharp.
The entire man shed the twilight aura of his decrepitude, once again radiating the majestic momentum that a Limit Douluo should possess!
Aung!
A dragon roar that shook the heavens and earth echoed over Shrek City, and a massive phantom of a Bright Sacred Dragon slowly emerged in the air behind Mu En.
"Who goes there?! How dare you act recklessly at the gates of Shrek Academy!"
"Enemy attack! Protect the academy!"
As soon as the dragon might of the Bright Sacred Dragon spread, over a dozen figures rushed out from within Shrek Academy; they were the teachers on duty.
One by one, they activated their Martial Soul Possession, unleashing their full soul power, and charged toward the stall as if facing a formidable enemy.
But when they saw Mu En standing in the center of the scene with his back straight and holy light swirling around him, Everyone instantly retracted their martial souls, their expressions changing drastically as they hurriedly bowed, their voices filled with respect and shock:
"Elder Mu!"
After venting the stagnation that had accumulated in his body for many years, Mu En slowly retracted the Bright Sacred Dragon phantom behind him, and the aura around him converged, returning him to the gentle and kind old man he once was.
He waved his hand at the panicked teachers and said with a gentle smile:
"No need to be nervous, I was just venting a bit; there is no enemy attack, you may all disperse."
The teachers looked at each other, staring at the rejuvenated Elder Mu with utter disbelief in their eyes.
Yet, they still responded respectfully and retreated to the side, though their gazes could not help but remain fixed on Mu En, unable to look away.
Just then, a flurry of hurried footsteps approached.
Xuan Zi, gnawing on a greasy chicken leg, rushed out of the academy in a panic, accompanied by a group of flustered Sea God Pavilion elders.
As soon as Xuan Zi reached the front, he caught sight of Mu En standing in the center with his back straight and a rosy complexion; the half-eaten chicken leg in his mouth dropped to the ground with a plop.
He widened his eyes, his face full of shock and disbelief, his voice trembling:
"Elder Mu! Your injuries... you've recovered?!"
The group of Sea God Pavilion elders behind him also froze in place, their eyes wide and their faces etched with shock.
They knew the state of Elder Mu's body better than anyone.
Even countless heavenly treasures and miraculous secret methods had been unable to heal him.
But now, not only was Elder Mu's spine straight, but he was also glowing with health—where was there any trace of the decrepit old man from before?!
Mu En looked at the shocked crowd and couldn't help but laugh out loud, his voice resonant and full of vigor, devoid of its previous weakness:
"Indeed! Not only have my old injuries fully healed, but my withered foundation has been nourished and repaired, and my lifespan has even increased!"
"That's wonderful!!"
Xuan Zi's eyes instantly turned red, his whole body trembling with excitement, and the Sea God Pavilion elders also showed expressions of wild joy, their excitement beyond words.
Mu En was the pillar that held up Shrek!
That he could recover and extend his life was a monumental blessing for all of Shrek!
After the excitement subsided, Xuan Zi immediately stepped forward, bowed to Mu En, and asked urgently:
"Elder Mu! What kind of divine being healed you?! Which reclusive master took action?! We must properly pay our respects to them!"
Mu En smiled upon hearing this, raising a hand to point at Huo Yuhao, who stood before the stall looking completely at a loss: "The one who healed this old man's injuries is none other than this new student, Huo Yuhao!"
"It was thanks to his heaven-defying treasures that I was able to completely eradicate my old wounds and regain my vitality!"
As soon as these words fell, everyone's gaze snapped onto Huo Yuhao.
Suddenly thrust into the spotlight, Huo Yuhao froze, his cheeks flushing a deep red. He clutched the hem of his shirt nervously, stammering:
"Elder Mu, I..."
Before he could finish, Xuan Zi had already arrived before him, accompanied by a group of Sea God Pavilion elders.
There was not a hint of playfulness on his face now; he bowed deeply to Huo Yuhao, his tone solemn:
"Student Huo, were it not for you, who knows how much longer Elder Mu would have suffered. You have bestowed a gift of rebirth upon Shrek!"
The Sea God Pavilion elders behind him also bowed in unison to Huo Yuhao.
Every one of them was a top-tier powerhouse at the Title Douluo level, yet they were offering the most respectful of salutes to a mere Level 12 Soul Grand Master with a single soul ring.
Huo Yuhao stood completely rigid, his mind a blank slate. He felt lightheaded, as if he were walking on clouds, drifting in a daze.
The most elite group of powerhouses on the entire continent were bowing to thank him—a scene he would never have dared to imagine even in his dreams.
"Calm down, Yuhao. Steady your mind."
Just as he was reeling, Zhao Ze's steady, laughing voice echoed within his Sea of Consciousness, offering a bit of guidance:
"Do you not aspire to become a powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the continent? In the future, there will only be more grand occasions than this.
Besides, you helped Mu En heal his wounds; he will not fail to repay this favor."
"I understand, Master."
Zhao Ze's words acted like a stabilizing needle, instantly calming Huo Yuhao's chaotic heart.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging excitement within.
Watching Huo Yuhao regain his composure in such a short time, a look of appreciation flashed in Mu En's eyes.
He nodded slightly, quietly channeling his soul power to transmit his voice to Huo Yuhao:
"Yuhao, you have done this old man a massive favor. Both I and Shrek will keep this debt in our hearts.
From today on, you are a core student of Shrek Academy and shall enjoy the academy's most premium cultivation resources.
I promise here and now that I will personally lead a team to hunt two 100,000-year soul rings that best suit your martial soul, along with the corresponding soul bones.
And for now, I will also give you a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone."
With that, he produced a soul tool storage device and pressed it into Huo Yuhao's hand.
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, his heart hammering wildly!
Beyond that Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, there were actually 100,000-year soul rings and bones to come!
He had heard Zhao Ze speak of them and knew exactly how precious such things were.
Countless Title Douluos sought them in vain, yet Elder Mu had promised to hunt them for him personally!
Huo Yuhao hurriedly said:
"Thank you, Elder Mu. Also, I have always been very interested in Soul Tools and would like to study in the Soul Tool Department. Would that be possible?"
He had not forgotten what Zhao Ze had mentioned about Soul Tools, and this was the perfect moment to request to study there.
"Oh? You are interested in Soul Tools?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Mu En's eyes, followed by a hearty laugh as he readily agreed.
"Good! I shall tell Qian Duoduo to put the Soul Tool Department's best resources at your disposal!"
On the other side, Wang Dong'er, having heard the commotion, returned with her snacks.
Seeing the crowd gathered at Huo Yuhao's stall, she froze in place, her powder-blue eyes filled with disbelief.
What is going on?
This isn't right, is it?
Did people actually go and buy those rocks to eat?!
Are you kidding me?
Is it me who's losing it, or is the world that's gone crazy?!
"You're saying a student from Shrek Academy healed Mu En?"
Inside the main hall of the Body Sect, Du Busi was listening to a subordinate's report.
"Yes, Sect Master. It is said to have been an extraordinary Life Crystal!"
The subordinate replied respectfully.
"Interesting. I think I shall go to Shrek and see for myself."
Du Busi flexed his wrists and said with a smile.
His own lifespan was running low, and the Body Sect lacked a successor, so he had no choice but to see if that Life Crystal was truly miraculous enough to extend his life.
"Do not let me down this time."
Du Busi muttered to himself.
