Stardust Dragon Dancing with the Full Moon (Part 2)

Just as Junk Warrior performed an aerial split above You Jie's head, the phantom of Junk Converter flickered before him, and Junk Synchron reappeared in front of him once more.

"Grand Ancestor Xuan, Sister Lexuan, the moment to witness a miracle is now!"

"I tune Junk Synchron with Junk Warrior!"

"Gathering wishes will become a new shining star."

"Become the path that light shines upon!"

"Soar, Stardust Dragon!"

As Junk Synchron transformed into three rings that settled onto the Stardust Dragon—which was gradually turning into light—another pillar of light erupted into the sky.

A giant dragon with a pale blue torso, silver-white wings, and slender limbs emerged from the pillar, wings spread wide. It circled above the training grounds before finally coming to a halt beside the full moon.

As the gust of wind stirred by Stardust Dragon swept past, the air filled with specks of starlight that accompanied its arrival, forming a scene of stars surrounding the moon above the training grounds.

Even though it was daytime, the brilliance of this "stars surrounding the moon" display remained largely unaffected.

"It really is a Soul Douluo-level Bright Dragon..."

Zhang Lexuan looked up at the Stardust Dragon in the sky, her entire being stunned into silence.

You Jie had actually kept his word; not only had he summoned a Soul Douluo-level Bright Dragon, but he had also brought her such a magnificent sight.

The aura radiating from the giant dragon, while seemingly inferior to Zhang Lexuan's, was still undeniably at the Soul Douluo level—a strength worthy of recognition even within the Shrek Academy inner court.

The light energy it possessed was also incredibly pure; had its form and color scheme not been clearly distinct from the Radiant Holy Dragon, Zhang Lexuan would have suspected this was the true form of You Jie's martial soul.

The Radiant Holy Dragon martial soul, passed down through the bloodline of Mu En and Bei Bei, was not so easily lost.

Whether in terms of appearance or strength, You Jie had brought Zhang Lexuan and Mu En endless surprises.

Just then, several more figures appeared around the training grounds. They were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, who had rushed over the moment they noticed the appearance of Stardust Dragon.

Even Xuan Zi, who never failed to disappoint when it came to being disappointing, tucked away the chicken leg and wine gourd he rarely let go of, standing honestly beside Mu En.

Mu En merely glanced at his troublesome grand-nephew before fixing his gaze back on You Jie.

"Hmm, it is indeed a dragon of the Soul Douluo level possessing light energy."

"You Jie, order it to attack me immediately. Let me test its offensive power."

Although Mu En's words sounded shocking, no one around felt it strange, nor did anyone worry about Mu En's safety.

Even You Jie only muttered to himself, If I forced out a Shooting Star Dragon to activate an effect, wouldn't you explode, Grand Ancestor?

"Alright, go, Stardust Dragon! Shooting Sonic Blast!"

You Jie immediately turned and commanded Stardust Dragon.

A blue dragon breath carrying countless specks of starlight surged from Stardust Dragon's mouth, heading straight for Mu En on his recliner.

However, just as the breath was about to strike Mu En, a thin golden barrier appeared before him. It was slightly larger than the diameter of the breath and blocked it with precision, without causing a single shred of collateral damage.

After firing the breath, You Jie's legs went weak, and he nearly stumbled to the ground.

The next moment, Mu En gently raised his hand, and You Jie's figure was pulled to his side.

"Hmm, it is indeed a Soul Douluo-level attack. Even if it only has the power of a single strike, it is authentic Soul Douluo-level strength."

"And you... Stardust Dragon, it should have other abilities, right?"

Mu En placed a hand on You Jie's wrist, confirmed his physical condition, and continued to ask.

"Yes, it is an ability called Sacrifice Sanctuary. It can render an enemy's ability ineffective for a certain period, or block a powerful attack for me."

"It's just that my current soul power is insufficient; performing one offense or defense, or activating an effect, exhausts all my soul power."

Although You Jie had guessed the cost of summoning an eight-star monster, this was his first time experiencing the feeling of his soul power being squeezed completely dry.

However, even as a half-baked duelist, he would not fear this state.

Because for a duelist, the phrase "your life is like a candle in the wind" is the strongest positive buff.

"Sacrifice Sanctuary... Good, very good. My Sea God Pavilion has a successor, hahahaha..."

After hearing You Jie's explanation, Mu En couldn't help but laugh heartily. The bright, clear laughter startled the surrounding Sea God Pavilion elders, especially Xuan Zi, who stood on Mu En's other side.

It had been many years since he had heard Mu En laugh so heartily from the depths of his heart; not even when Yan Shaozhe became the Dean of the Martial Soul Department through his unique secret techniques had Mu En laughed like this.

Could it be that You Jie, who did not follow the custom of his lineage to inherit his mother's surname, would surpass Bei Bei, the possessor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, and become the new hope of Shrek Academy?

The Sea God Pavilion has a successor? Pfft, not even a dog would want this job.

This kind of old zombie who has lived for ten thousand years should just "let the whale fall so that all things may flourish." A healthy world has no need for such morbid existences.

Unless Shrek Academy can truly practice what it preaches and return to being a pure Soul Master Academy...

Listening to Mu En's laughter, You Jie couldn't help but complain internally.

Although the Douluo Continent during the era of The Legend of the Dragon King was truly a place where "immortals were as common as hemp," and one couldn't find a few normal people leading factions from top to bottom, the current Douluo Continent was, in fact, no different.

Becoming a "successor" to the Sea God Pavilion in this era likely came with the bundled responsibility of revitalizing the Tang Sect. One only had to look at the way that "Prisoner Huo" was worked to the bone in the original work to know that this was even more painful than a 007 work schedule.

You Jie would rather engage in endless Shadow Games with Yugi Muto than be a beast of burden here.

Of course, if the goal were to let Shrek Academy return to being a pure Soul Master Academy, stop being an alternative Papal State that effectively stood above the three empires of the Douluo Continent, and incidentally take down Tang San—who had always tried to turn the Douluo Continent into his own private garden and toy—then You Jie would be more than happy to oblige.

"Alright, You Jie, just cultivate in the Sea God Pavilion with peace of mind for this period. Ask for whatever you need."

"Lexuan, take You Jie to get some good rest."

After laughing, Mu En gave a few instructions and then vanished before everyone's eyes.
