Secondary Evolution!

Listening to Bei Bei's words, a glimmer of hope ignited once more in the depths of Tang Ya's heart.

But Bei Bei knew that the grand vision he had painted for Tang Ya was nothing more than a castle in the air; unless she possessed immense talent for Soul Tools, it would be fundamentally impossible to achieve.

This was the trap Bei Bei had dug for Tang Ya. Once she began researching it herself, she would discover just how difficult it was to independently fuse two different technologies.

When that time came, and she realized she could not complete it on her own, she would have only one choice: technology sharing.

By then, the Soul Tool Department would help her rebuild the Tang Sect, and those students from the Soul Tool Department would very likely become the future disciples and members of the Tang Sect.

This was Bei Bei's plan: to make Tang Ya rely solely on him and on Shrek Academy.

Of course, there was one more point: to avoid letting Huo Yuhao join the Tang Sect.

Otherwise, given Huo Yuhao's talent for Soul Tools, these matters could be accomplished by Huo Yuhao alone.

After Tang Ya's soul power recovered slightly, Bei Bei brought her back to the Inner Court.

Having experienced the day's events, Tang Ya needed to rest well and digest everything that had occurred.

Lying on her bed, Tang Ya looked ahead, feeling somewhat lost, and murmured to herself, "Father, Mother, what should Xiao Ya do..."

The next morning.

Bei Bei received notification that Mu En had returned from the Star Dou Great Forest and had captured a Sky Dragon Horse soul beast of approximately twenty thousand years for him.

Upon hearing this news, Bei Bei hurried toward the Golden Ancient Tree, unable to contain his impatience.

Arriving beneath the Golden Ancient Tree, Yan Shaozhe was there waiting specifically for Bei Bei.

"Come in! Everything is prepared." Yan Shaozhe led Bei Bei into the interior of the Sea God Pavilion.

The two arrived before a wall. Yan Shaozhe raised a hand and pointed; a golden light ignited, and a dense golden halo enveloped them both.

The surrounding space gradually shifted, and the two arrived in a spacious hall with several corridors along the surrounding walls.

Inside the room, Elder Mu stood in the center, with Elder Zhuang by his side.

Beside them stood a snow-white steed with a head resembling that of a dragon, covered in white dragon scales, with broad dragon wings on both sides of its body, radiating a brilliant and dense aura of light.

This Sky Dragon Horse was robust and powerful, with a rich bloodline and a pure aura of light; it was currently in a state of unconsciousness.

"This is the underground of the Sea God Pavilion, connected to one hundred and eight rooms. It is a mimetic cultivation environment that Shrek Academy has been continuously modifying for ten thousand years."

"It allows any soul master to find an environment suitable for themselves and enables them to reach a state of deep meditation."

Elder Mu explained to Bei Bei, "Only students who have entered the Inner Court have a single opportunity to enter this place. Evolving your martial soul here will yield twice the result with half the effort."

"If you are ready, then begin!" Yan Shaozhe said. "With me, the teacher, and Elder Zhuang here, even if you fail, you will not be in any danger."

Bei Bei took a deep breath, adjusted his aura to its most perfect state, and slowly approached the Sky Dragon Horse.

His arms were covered in platinum-colored dragon scales, and his sharp dragon claws pierced into the head of the Sky Dragon Horse.

The body of the Sky Dragon Horse twitched violently, and a pitch-black soul ring slowly condensed into shape.

"Bei Bei, go into the first corridor on the right from the front. After about ten meters, there will be a gate. That mimetic cultivation environment is extremely suitable for you; you don't need to worry about being disturbed." Mu En pointed forward.

"Understood." Bei Bei nodded and walked forward.

That pitch-black soul ring, pulled by a force, followed by Bei Bei's side.

Arriving at the room Elder Mu had mentioned, he pushed open the door, and an incomparably dense aura of light rushed toward him; the dense light energy seemed to have condensed into a liquid state.

In the room of only ten square meters, wisps of golden light mist drifted about. The entire room was wrapped in the roots of the Golden Ancient Tree, and those light energies were emanating from them.

Bei Bei sat cross-legged on the cushion in the center of the room. The dense light energy continuously surged into his body, reflecting his entire body in gold, with several golden halos circling his form.

The surrounding power of light, like a warm stream, continuously nourished his body.

Almost in an instant, Bei Bei fell into deep meditation and began to refine that twenty-thousand-year soul ring.

At the same time, Bei Bei completely detonated the Dragon Core within his body, and the powerful origin energy rapidly flooded his entire body.

The Radiant Sacred Dragon martial soul appeared around him, its size having increased significantly.

It circled continuously around Bei Bei, its origin power growing stronger, and it began to emit a strange luster as it started to undergo a transformation.

Having entered deep meditation, Bei Bei gradually lost his perception of the surrounding space and time.

He only felt that he had arrived in a vast, white, and golden space, filled with gentle and vast power of light.

Bei Bei felt as if he had transformed into a young dragon, soaring wantonly through this world of light.

Time passed quietly in this light and tranquility. The young dragon gradually grew, becoming a behemoth a thousand meters in size, radiating a majestic and sacred aura.

A touch of pure life energy, like a clear spring, instantly cleansed his consciousness.

Bei Bei suddenly remembered that he was a human, not a dragon, and his body jolted violently.

The surrounding white space, like thick fog, gradually dissipated.

What met his eyes was a vast golden ocean, the sky filled with emerald-green light, and a giant vertical eye hanging in the very center.

"This is... my Spiritual Sea!" Bei Bei finally realized. He had been influenced by the Dragon Core earlier; fortunately, he had awakened in time, otherwise, he would inevitably have been influenced and become a wild beast.

Bei Bei began to sense his body. The Dragon Core within him was gone, and the fourth soul ring had been completely refined. His body was currently wrapped in a two-meter-tall golden silkworm cocoon.

Even his martial soul was the same, leaving only a mass of pure origin of light, like an egg, currently undergoing a transformation.

A ceaseless stream of light energy was being absorbed by his body, as if swallowed by a whale, faintly forming an illusory golden vortex around him.

Bei Bei could not help but sigh with emotion; fortunately, the surrounding energy was abundant, and the Dragon Core would also provide a steady supply of power for his Martial Soul Evolution.

Otherwise, if his Martial Soul lacked sufficient energy during the evolution process, leading to a failure like Yu Xiaogang—who ended up turning into a pig—it would truly be a laughingstock.

Sensing that everything was proceeding in a smooth direction, Bei Bei set his mind at ease, sat cross-legged in the void above his Spiritual Sea, and began to perceive the powers of light, holiness, and life.

Outside, Mu En still stood in that room, seemingly having not moved at all.
