If You Don't Speak, I'll Assume You Agree! Master of Nature, Mu Chen!!

"System, can soul beasts that haven't taken human form be accepted as disciples?"

Mu Chen was curious about this.

[Yes!]

Hearing this, Mu Chen began to calculate how to take Ah Yin as a disciple and what rewards he might gain from doing so.

If I take Tang San as a disciple now, Tang Hao will definitely be watching me while he monitors Tang San's growth. Acting rashly will only bring trouble upon myself; I had better wait a while longer.

It's time for me to go get breakfast.

Mu Chen stretched and headed toward the cafeteria.

On the way.

He happened to run into Yu Xiaogang, who wore a dejected and melancholy expression. Mu Chen rubbed his chin in thought.

Without Tang San, it seemed Yu Xiaogang would be stuck at Nuoding Academy indefinitely.

Yu Xiaogang also noticed Mu Chen.

Through his relationship with the dean, he had learned of the information Mu Chen had revealed.

Radiant Holy Dragon martial soul!

Soul Elder!

His exact age was unclear, but judging by his appearance, he was extremely young!

He couldn't help but sigh.

If his own martial soul hadn't mutated, he would likely be even more outstanding.

Yu Xiaogang avoided Mu Chen's gaze and quickened his pace.

Three months flashed by in the blink of an eye.

Mu Chen's Soul Power Level reached fifty, and he headed to the Star Dou Forest alone.

A plan had formed in his mind.

Deep in the dense forest, the morning light was sliced into fragments by layers of leaves.

A brilliant golden halo quietly emerged in the depths of Mu Chen's eyes. A low dragon roar resonated from within his body, and the Radiant Dragon King martial soul instantly possessed him.

In an instant, fine, brilliant, pearlescent holy dragon scales appeared all over his body.

Following this, dragon horns sprouted from his forehead, accompanied by golden, shimmering dragon claws, dragon wings, and a dragon's physique. A vast and majestic dragon might erupted, and a pure, intense aura of light swept across the surroundings.

The Radiant Dragon King was one of the nine most powerful Dragon Kings under the Dragon God, second only to the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings.

Every sub-dragon species, low-ranking dragon race, dragon-type soul beast, and martial soul in the world would instinctively tremble when encountering the Radiant Dragon King martial soul; their bloodlines would be forcibly suppressed, and their strength would be directly slashed by more than half.

The several sub-dragon soul beasts lurking nearby sensed this aura and immediately shrank their bodies in terror, not daring to move, feeling a fear that originated from their very souls.

On a rocky beach not far away, a sturdy Light-Scaled Earth Dragon suddenly raised its head.

Facing the Radiant Dragon King aura radiating from Mu Chen, its massive body trembled uncontrollably, and its limbs went weak.

The Light-Scaled Earth Dragon let out a low, cowardly hiss, devoid of its usual ferocity, wanting only to turn and flee.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Even though this Light-Scaled Earth Dragon was over thirty thousand years old, Mu Chen was very confident in hunting it alone.

Purple, purple, purple, and black soul rings rose abruptly.

Mu Chen unleashed the Kirin Heaven-Treading Steps, catching up to the Light-Scaled Earth Dragon in an instant.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Radiant Dragon Judgment!"

As the fourth soul ring was activated, a golden, domineering long blade suddenly appeared and automatically slashed toward the Light-Scaled Earth Dragon!

This soul skill suppressed all low-ranking dragon races!

The blade fell cleanly and decisively, accompanied by an explosion of holy light. Under the absolute bloodline suppression and the restraint of the soul skill, the Light-Scaled Earth Dragon collapsed in an instant!

The surrounding sub-dragon soul beasts had long since fled without a trace. Mu Chen looked at the black ten-thousand-year soul ring of the Light-Scaled Earth Dragon, sat down directly beside its carcass, and began to absorb the soul ring to break through.

A long time later.

Mu Chen opened his eyes, a golden light flashing through them before vanishing. Five soul rings—purple, purple, purple, black, and black—circled his body, and his soul power had reached level fifty-one.

He searched the Light-Scaled Earth Dragon but found no soul bone. After a hearty meal, he rose to leave, but instead of returning to Nuoding Academy, he headed toward Holy Soul Village.

Along the way, Mu Chen was extremely cautious, eventually finding the cave where Ah Yin was hidden.

"Hello."

Mu Chen released the aura of the Radiant Dragon King. This holy, radiant power made Ah Yin, who was trapped in a deep slumber, feel an instinctive joy in her body.

Mu Chen reached out his finger and gently touched Ah Yin.

Ah Yin also instinctively extended her leaves, wrapping them around Mu Chen's finger.

"I want to take you as my disciple."

"If you don't speak, I'll take that as a yes."

Mu Chen released an even richer aura of light and divinity, enveloping Ah Yin.

Ah Yin also extended more branches and leaves, wrapping them around Mu Chen's fingers, her body swaying as she clearly delighted in the sacred light energy he released.

[Ding--! Host has successfully taken Ah Yin as a disciple!]

[Aptitude: S!]

[Reward obtained: Seed of Life!]

[Fuse?]

"Seed of Life? Fuse!"

Mu Chen did not yet fully understand what the Seed of Life represented, but fusion was surely all gain and no harm.

In an instant.

A vast and majestic life force radiated from within his body.

The sounds of all things in heaven and earth flooded into his mind.

The soft rustle of grass breaking through the soil, the pulse of ancient trees growing, the rhythmic babble of flowing water, the whispers of blooming flowers, the breath of mountains and earth...

Countless fragments of the natural Dao resonated in his ears.

"Hiss!"

Mu Chen was shocked.

Suddenly, he noticed that Ah Yin was also growing frantically, all due to the dense life aura radiating from him.

[Fusion successful!]

[Host has become a Child of Nature and obtained a God-level domain: Domain of Life!]

In an instant, with Mu Chen as the center, the forest within a radius of a thousand meters underwent a sudden, drastic change!

Life energy permeated the surface of every plant, and at this moment, all the vegetation began to grow wildly; Mu Chen could even feel their joy.

At the same time, he could feel the reverence and adoration coming from all the plants.

Mu Chen looked at Ah Yin, who had grown significantly and now almost filled the entire cave. After a moment of stunned silence, he attempted to communicate with her.

"Thank you, Master, for awakening me."

A gentle and ethereal female voice entered Mu Chen's ears.

"You can already speak?"

Mu Chen looked surprised.

"I cannot yet speak like a normal human; for now, I am only communicating with Master through my thoughts."

Ah Yin's voice echoed in Mu Chen's mind once more.

Mu Chen was lost in thought.

This situation was inextricably linked to his fusion with the Seed of Life.

But being able to communicate was good.

It was just...

Ah Yin's form of address for him was a bit strange.

"Why do you call me Master?"

"I... I do not know. I only feel that Master gives me a very intimate feeling, and is so noble, far exceeding my own level. I couldn't help but call out."

Mu Chen smiled slightly.

"Very well."

"From now on, you shall call me Master."

This was truly an unexpected joy.

"Yes~"

Mu Chen still had one question in his heart: "Do you still remember the past?"

"Master, I fell into a deep slumber because my injuries were too severe, but my memories remain intact."

Mu Chen calculated silently.

He decided to store Ah Yin in the system space first.

According to his estimation, Ah Yin had already reached the level of a ten-thousand-year soul beast. He had to keep her by his side; perhaps in the future, he would even have the chance to become Tang San's stepfather.

"Take the soul bone as well!"

In a blink, Mu Chen found a lead box from above the stone chamber, which contained exactly what he sought: Ah Yin's soul bone, the right leg bone.

However, he had no intention of absorbing this soul bone for the time being.
