Three years later, Nuoding Academy.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San stood in a row.
Mu Chen stood before the three of them with his hands behind his back, looking quite like a "stern teacher."
However, because of his "Succubus Holy Body," the way the two female disciples looked at him was truly not quite right.
Mu Chen smiled slightly: "The three of you will accompany me to the Bala Kingdom next. There is a Shrek Academy there; I am taking you there to gain some experience."
The three were stunned upon hearing this, but after coming to their senses, they replied with solemn expressions: "Yes!"
Mu Chen pondered: "Tang San, your cultivation progress has been delayed by other trivial matters over these years; your soul power has yet to reach level thirty."
Tang San lowered his head in shame.
As fellow disciples of Mu Chen, Xiao Wu had already reached level thirty-two soul power, and while Zhu Zhuqing's talent was not as great as his or Xiao Wu's, she had reached level twenty-eight through unremitting effort. Yet he, bearing the heritage of the Tang Sect, was still only at level twenty-nine.
It was all his fault for spending so much time on other trifles and practicing Tang Sect skills.
Mu Chen smiled and patted Tang San's head: "According to my observations, you should be able to reach level thirty before long. The Bala Kingdom is also quite close to the Star Dou Forest, which will be convenient when the time comes."
Tang San was filled with emotion: "Teacher, you consider everything for me, yet I am so disappointing. I am truly sorry for your guidance over these past six years!"
Xiao Wu shrugged: "It is quite normal for a family to have a disappointing child."
Hearing this, Tang San felt even more ashamed: "Teacher, please rest assured, I will definitely cultivate diligently from now on. I will certainly catch up to Xiao Wu!"
Mu Chen nodded: "I believe in you."
Xiao Wu looked up at Mu Chen with curious eyes: "Teacher, is there something special about this Shrek Academy? Why must we go there?"
Mu Chen explained: "This Shrek Academy is a bit strange. They uphold the philosophy that 'those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre,' and the students within are all of the arrogant and domineering sort, skilled at bullying the weak."
Hearing this, the three were instantly dumbfounded.
"Teacher, why would you take us to such a place for training? What kind of people are they!" Xiao Wu frowned deeply.
Mu Chen laughed: "The more complex the environment, the better it can test a person's state of mind. I want to see if you can pass this test."
Zhu Zhuqing asked softly: "Teacher, then what counts as passing the test?"
Mu Chen shook his head: "I cannot say. If I say it, it will no longer be a test."
Tang San furrowed his brows, carefully contemplating the meaning behind Mu Chen's words.
Mu Chen gestured to the three: "Set off now. I will not be traveling with you."
"Yes!" Tang San said solemnly.
Xiao Wu smiled brightly: "Zhuqing, let's go! Let's see what this Shrek Academy is all about!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, the corners of Mu Chen's mouth curled upward slightly.
Once at Shrek Academy, he could find an opportunity to take Ning Rongrong.
He just wondered if Ning Rongrong would be easy to trick.
As for the Shrek trio...
Oscar and Ma Hongjun already had teachers, and Dai Mubai was not within his scope of consideration.
After the three left, Mu Chen vanished from Nuoding Academy.
Ever since Xiao Wu broke through to the third ring to become a Soul Elder and obtained the teleportation soul skill.
He had received the system's reward of the teleportation ability; as long as he could sense the target's aura, he could teleport directly to them.
Not only that.
After Xiao Wu broke through a major realm, he also received an increase of one level of soul power, one innate soul ring, and the age of all his soul rings increased by five hundred years.
Xiao Wu was truly his favorite disciple.
After Zhu Zhuqing advanced from one ring to two, the system also fed back to him an increase of one level of soul power, as well as a five-hundred-year increase in soul ring age!
He had cultivated for another three years, and having absorbed his innate soul ring, he became a level 74 Soul Saint without needing to hunt any soul beasts.
His seventh soul ring had even reached ninety thousand years.
Currently...
[Soul Power: Level 74!] [First Martial Soul: Radiant Dragon King] [First Soul Skill Radiant Dragon's Verdict: 8,400 years!] [Second Soul Skill Dragon King's Roar: 8,800 years!] [Third Soul Skill Holy Light Illuminates the World: 10,500 years!] [Fourth Soul Skill Radiant Dragon Judgment: 13,000 years!] [Fifth Soul Skill Radiant Dragon Fury: 35,200 years!] [Sixth Soul Skill Dragon King Annihilation Array: 62,000 years!]
[Seventh Soul Skill: Radiant Dragon King True Form! 90,000 years!]
[Cultivation Method: Primordial Infinite Art!]
[Martial Skills: Kirin Heaven-Treading Steps, Heavenly Eye Divine Ability, Nine Yin Divine Claw, Snow-Treading Traceless!]
"Whoosh--"
Mu Chen's figure vanished directly from Nuoding Academy and appeared at Shrek Academy.
Because he had been here before, he was able to teleport over directly.
Li Yusong, the Soul Emperor powerhouse responsible for registration, and the people currently signing up were so startled by Mu Chen's sudden appearance that they retreated repeatedly.
Mu Chen did not linger, instead searching directly for the aura of the strongest person in Shrek.
"Found it!"
Mu Chen focused his mind, located Zhao Wuji's aura, and teleported over instantly.
Seeing this scene, Li Yusong's eyes widened in shock.
"Little brother, stop sleeping."
Mu Chen appeared directly beside Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji was taking a nap, and upon hearing this unfamiliar voice, he snapped his eyes open.
"Who are you!?"
He stared intently at Mu Chen, his face full of seriousness.
"Let me introduce myself."
"This Humble One is Mu Chen, a Level 74 Battle Soul Saint, here to apply for a teaching position."
Mu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
"Level 74 Soul Saint? You?"
Zhao Wuji was full of disbelief; after looking Mu Chen up and down, he wore an expression of disdain.
Mu Chen was only eighteen years old, so it was normal for him to be looked down upon when claiming to have Level 74 soul power.
"I know you don't believe it."
"Open your eyes wide and watch closely; the scene you are about to witness will be unforgettable for the rest of your life."
Mu Chen gave a wicked smile.
Rings of soul light rose from beneath his feet, starting directly from purple, with his third soul ring already being ten thousand years old.
A full seven soul rings were displayed.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
"This is impossible!"
Mu Chen activated his Radiant Dragon King Martial Soul Possession; the sacred aura and power of light made him appear as if a deity had descended.
"Nothing is impossible!"
"Little brother, do you want to try?"
He beckoned to Zhao Wuji with his finger.
Even if Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for two of his fingers.
Two purple, five black!
Zhao Wuji stared fixedly at Mu Chen's seven soul rings, his palms beginning to sweat.
In particular, Mu Chen's Martial Soul brought him immense psychological pressure.
The aura of a genuine Soul Saint—there was no mistake.
"Ahem!"
"There is no need for that!"
"If you wish to apply for a teaching position, you've come to the right person. This Humble One is Zhao Wuji, known as the Immovable Wisdom King, and I am the Vice Dean of this Shrek Academy!"
Zhao Wuji offered a flattering smile.
Although he was already Level 76, he had no confidence in defeating the Level 74 Mu Chen.
Just by the age of the soul rings alone, Mu Chen had pulled far ahead of him, and his Martial Soul was clearly superior to his own Vajra Bear.
