Leaving Shrek Academy
Because of his previous defeat in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.
Therefore, Mu En, as the Sea God Pavilion Master, single-handedly defied public opinion and sent the seven members of the Reserve Team into the space under the Golden Tree for in-depth cultivation and training.
Meanwhile, in the Outer Court, Tang Ya, who no longer held any expectations for Shrek or for herself, also chose to leave the academy.
As Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, without Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline inheritance, the Blue Silver Grass of the Tang Sect's successive sect leaders was truly just ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Moreover, due to the choice of Soul Ring, the poison attribute is not compatible with Blue Silver Grass. If Tang San from ten thousand years ago had not been blessed with the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline and had not accumulated a lot of fortuitous encounters, he would certainly not have been able to break through the limitations of Blue Silver Grass.
Even if Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass had the potential to become Evil Martial Soul due to the Martial Soul Mutation, how could Tang Ya dare to cultivate freely under the supervision of the Shrek Academy?
The more Tang Ya cultivated, the more desperate she became. With her ordinary talent as Blue Silver Grass, if she continued to cultivate in the way Shrek Academy did, no matter how long she cultivated, she would probably never be able to fulfill her desire to revive the Tang Sect and seek revenge before she died.
She also deeply resented Shrek Academy for its inaction in the face of the Tang Sect's decline, and even for the Tang Sect's failure to respond when the Iron Blood Sect Tang Sect sought reinforcements from Shrek before the latter wiped out the Tang Sect.
But what could she do with such weak strength? The hatred in her heart had nowhere to be expressed, and the more it was suppressed, the more suffocated she became.
Moreover, because Beibei also entered the space under the Golden Tree to cultivate along with the other members of the Reserve Team, Tang Ya's resentment was even more severe than in the original story without Beibei's guidance.
Although Shrek Academy has historically reserved special admission slots for the Tang Sect, what meaning does this so-called preferential treatment hold for the Tang Sect now that even its base has been seized?
If there are outstanding disciples in the Tang Sect, they will naturally be recruited by the Shrek Academy and enter the Inner Court. After being labeled as Inner Court Disciple Shrek Academy, will these people ultimately belong to the Tang Sect or Shrek?
As for those Tang Sect disciples who are unable to enter the Inner Court and have poor aptitude, how can they change the current situation of the Tang Sect?
After submitting her withdrawal application, Tang Ya left Shrek Academy without anyone trying to stop her, because no one at the Shrek Academy believed that a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master could cause much trouble.
"Has that little girl left?" After returning to the academy, Mu En naturally learned of Tang Ya's departure, but this was not because of her important status as the head of the Tang Sect.
After all, the Tang Sect has been defunct in name only for a long time. It's only because Tang Ya is the beloved of his great-grandson Beibei that Mu En is still alive. Although Mu En doesn't actually care much about her, Beibei will probably be depressed for a while after learning this news.
However, in his youth, Mu En was a playboy, and now that he is dedicated to the Shrek Academy, he understands that for most people, the pain of love is only temporary. Even if losing someone is painful, life must go on.
Moreover, although it's not mandatory, Mu En actually hopes that Beibei can marry Zhang Lexuan, who has the best talent in the Inner Court and was personally trained by him, so that they can lead Shrek Academy in the future.
"Fine, that's fine too. Since that's the case, then let's exchange the resources from the Body Sect." A glint flashed in Mu En's eyes.
"Those little guys should be coming out of seclusion soon, I'm really looking forward to it."
Mu En then let out a long sigh. With the resources exchanged from the Body Sect, he thought they would be able to provide further assistance to the children's growth.
Although Huo Yuhao had already returned to the Shrek Academy with that Titled Douluo, as instructed by Mu En, he continued to cultivate under the Golden Tree during his time back and did not participate in the regular Outer Court courses.
During this time Mu En would also provide guidance, but it was all in the minor details. Rather than cultivation, it was more like being secretly monitored by the Shrek Academy.
After all, the time for the transaction with the Body Sect was approaching, and Mu En didn't want any unexpected events to happen and let the cooked duck fly away.
The Body Sect was not exactly a law-abiding force either, and they had several clashes with the Shrek Academy in secret.
They wanted to try to secretly take Huo Yuhao away, but because the Sea God Pavilion was too vigilant, all their attempts ended in failure.
"The Body Douluo has brought several other Titled Douluo from the Body Sect with him this time. What a grand entrance! Welcome, welcome. If any of you are interested in giving a few lessons to the students of the Shrek Academy, that would be even better."
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En sat in the head seat with a smile on his face, looking down at Du Busi. Behind Titled Douluo Du Busi stood several Title Douluos of the Body Sect, each with a different aura but all powerful.
"Enough with the nonsense. I've brought what you wanted. But where's Huo Yuhao, whom you've been praising to the skies? Don't disappoint me!" Du Busi said with a Du Busi face.
"Yuhao, come out. This is the Sect Master of the Body Sect, the current Body Douluo Du Busi." As Mu En spoke, Huo Yuhao was teleported out from the space under the Golden Tree and appeared in the main hall with a golden light.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Du Busi's eyes lit up instantly, because he discovered that although Huo Yuhao was still young, the spiritual aura contained within him was extremely subtle, a sign that only appears after one's Spiritual Power level has reached a certain level.
At the same time, he cursed Lang Ya and Yu Tao in his heart for being unreliable. If their investigation had been more accurate, and if he had been able to snatch Huo Yuhao earlier, he wouldn't need to use so many resources to make an exchange now.
"It looks promising, but we'll have to put it to the test to see what it's really like. Huo Yuhao, right? Come here, let me personally investigate." Du Busi beckoned to Huo Yuhao and said.
Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and walked directly towards the other party. As Du Busi's large hand landed on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, Du Busi's Soul Power and Spiritual Power penetrated into Huo Yuhao's body to investigate.
However, the investigations focused on the meridians and the flow of Soul Power. The Du Busi of the Spiritual Sea was not explored in much detail, since for every Soul Master, especially Soul Master with Spiritual Attribute, the Spiritual Sea is of paramount importance and an absolute secret.
After completing the investigation, although his expression remained unchanged, Du Busi secretly thought he had stumbled upon a great opportunity.
Because of the strength of Huo Yuhao's physique and Spiritual Power that he detected.
Even Long Aotian, the Young Sect Master was nurtured by the Body Sect from childhood and was hailed as the number one young person in the Body Sect.
At the same age, he was about the same as Huo Yuhao now, and even inferior in the development of the Soul Power circulation system.
Furthermore, it's important to know that Huo Yuhao, who trained at the Shrek Academy and was an orphan, never received systematic training from the Body Sect, which specializes in Body Martial Soul.
Moreover, the resources Huo Yuhao could obtain at the Shrek Academy were worlds apart from the level of training he received as a direct descendant of the Body Sect.
From birth, all kinds of medicines, Soul Beast flesh and blood, and training methods were compulsory courses for Long Aotian. Under such circumstances, he was able to level the gap with his peers at the same age, so there is only one explanation.
That was Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul Second Awakening, which greatly enhanced his original strength limit and solidified his foundation. Moreover, Huo Yuhao's Secondary Awakening level had to surpass that of Long Aotian to achieve this.
However, Long Aotian was already Secondary Awakening at the innate silver level.
To surpass him, even if it's not the legendary, impossible Golden-tier Second Awakening that could never occur except for the first sect Sect Master of the Body Sect, it would probably be a top-tier silver Secondary Awakening that is extremely close to this level.
Moreover, as Du Busi's Soul Power and Spiritual Power came into contact with Huo Yuhao, Du Busi discovered that the Seed of Inheritance of the Body Sect that he originally carried with him seemed to resonate with Huo Yuhao in some way, but he forcibly suppressed it.
It should be noted that even the current Young Sect Master, Long Aotian, did not elicit a reaction from the Seed of Inheritance. Normally, one is only qualified to inherit the Seed of Inheritance after reaching the Gold-Grade Awakening stage.
"Hmm, not bad. Dragon God Douluo, you didn't lie to me." Du Busi released his hand from Huo Yuhao's body.
"Although the so-called Tang Sect still exists in name, I've inquired about the sect leader, Tang Ya. She's just a minor Soul Elder. It's a sect that exists in name only. Why would it need so many resources?"
Mu En shook his head. "That's not right. You should know that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect have been on good terms for generations. Even though Tang Sect is weak now, the resources that Tang Sect should receive should not be reduced."
"Moreover, I am also an elder of the current Tang Sect Master. During the time she was away from the academy for training, as her elder and teacher, I naturally couldn't let her suffer any losses."
"Hmph, that's quite a nice way to put it." Du Busi sneered, "Anyway, once the stuff is in your hands, it'll all be your credit."
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. Our Body Sect isn't one to go back on its word. I'm indeed satisfied with this little guy, Huo Yuhao. Everything's here, belonging to the Body Sect. Let's go."
Du Busi tossed down a Storage Soul Tool, then used his Soul Power to pull Huo Yuhao directly out of the Sea God Pavilion.
Huo Yuhao naturally did not resist. He followed the Soul Power of Du Busi and left the Sea God Pavilion. He then flew into the sky and disappeared into the distance.
Mu En shook his head as he watched the departing figures of the Body Sect members. He was already old and Du Busi, so how could he not see the hidden joy in Du Busi's eyes?
However, forcing things won't work, and considering the future of the Shrek Academy, letting Huo Yuhao go is the best choice now, whether they like it or not.
Not long after Du Busi left, on the empty surface of Seagod Lake, Jing Hongchen Mingde Hall Master, secretly infiltrated Shrek Academy using a Level 9 Soul Tool of the stealth type.
"Guests are always welcome. Why does the Mingde Hall Master need to hide himself like this? I will wait for you at the Sea God Pavilion."
Mu En's voice reached Jing Hongchen's ears, and Jing Hongchen knew perfectly well that she had been discovered.
"Shrek Academy truly lives up to its Shrek Academy. Even Super Douluo would have difficulty detecting this level-nine concealment Soul Tool. I didn't expect it to be discovered before it even got close."
Since that's the case, Jing Hongchen stopped pretending, removed the effect of the concealment Soul Tool, and quickly moved towards the Sea God Pavilion.
After all, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. Since the other party had already made an invitation, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Mingde Hall's reputation if they didn't go?
Moreover, although the Sea God Pavilion is Shrek Academy's headquarters, he dared to come here alone, which means he wasn't unprepared.
Following Mu En's instructions, the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the teachers of the Inner Court all avoided the area where Jing Hongchen was located.
Looking at the unassuming old man sitting in the head seat, Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice, "Jing Hongchen greets senior. I have come here today to retrieve the Sword of Judgment, Level 8 Soul Tool of my Mingde Hall."
"That Soul Tool was made by my own hands, and it is of great significance. Moreover, I believe that the incident that happened at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament could not have been caused by the Sword of Judgment."
Mu En smiled slightly, "You have lingered in my Shrek City for quite some time. Besides demanding the Sword of Judgment, do you have other schemes against the Shrek Academy?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's expression changed. She hadn't expected that Mu En had discovered her actions from some time ago. Was it a coincidence or...?
Then Jing Hongchen said, "Senior, you are overthinking it. It's just that I'm new to Shrek City. The city where the number one academy in the world is located is indeed extraordinary. So I didn't pay a visit right away, but instead spent some time traveling around."
Mu En shook his head. "In short, I'm not interested in what you really think. The Level 9 Soul Tool you have are indeed powerful, but they're nothing compared to what I have."
"You trespassed into the Shrek Academy without permission. Even if you had a reason, you still have to leave something behind. Otherwise, wouldn't the world look down on the Shrek Academy?"
"."
Afterwards, Jing Hongchen left Shrek Academy. At the same time, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Shrek Academy's Soul Engineering Department launched an exchange program, exchanging students from both sides for three years to study at the other's academy.
Meanwhile, shortly after Jing Hongchen left, a group of Evil Soul Master came to Shrek City and caused a great disturbance, but they failed to take away their target Ma Xiaotao, and instead fled in a sorry state.
However, after this battle, Mu En's already limited lifespan was almost gone. But the events that happened at the Shrek Academy had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao in the short term.
