A Six-Winged Angel Is Nothing More Than a Stray Dog

"Understood, Teacher." Yan Shaozhe rose, bowed first to Mu En, then turned to face everyone and cleared his throat.

"The reason I have summoned you all to convene this Sea God Pavilion meeting is due to a matter of great importance concerning the century-long grand strategy of Shrek Academy. This matter... stems from a young boy."

He paused, his tone turning grave: "This boy is named Su Chen, a freshman who just enrolled this year, currently in Class Nine of the Outer Court."

"Du Weilun submitted the files regarding this kid several days ago. However, he was only at level twenty-seven back then, so I didn't pay him any special attention." Yan Shaozhe gave a wry smile, "But after his battle with Zhou Yi a few days ago, I truly realized how terrifying this kid is."

He scanned the crowd, enunciating every word: "His martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel. And... it is not the two-winged angel we are familiar with, but an innate Six-Winged Angel!"

"Boom--"

These words exploded in the meeting hall like a thunderclap!

Even Mu En, whose eyes were half-closed, suddenly snapped them open, a sharp glint flashing within.

Six-Winged Angel! An innate Six-Winged Angel!

Which of the elders present was not well-versed and experienced? Who didn't know that after the Great War of the Three Gods, the Angel God Qian Renxue's godhood had shattered, and the angelic lineage had all but vanished. In this era, they had only ever seen two-winged angels, and even those were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

The Six-Winged Angel was the legendary symbol of the Angel God's direct bloodline! It was destined to reach at least the level of a Super Douluo in the future, with the potential to even challenge the limits or reach godhood!

Yan Shaozhe watched the shocked expressions of the elders, feeling immensely pleased. He continued by dropping another bombshell:

"Furthermore, just yesterday, Su Chen did something even more astonishing--he suppressed Ma Xiaotao's evil fire!"

"What?!" This time, even Xuan Zi exclaimed in shock, "Ma Xiaotao's evil fire? That kid can suppress it?"

Ma Xiaotao's evil fire problem had always been a thorn in the side of Shrek's leadership. The girl possessed peerless talent, yet due to the side effects of her Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul, she was at risk of losing control and going berserk at any moment.

Over the years, the academy had tried everything, and even Yan Shaozhe, a Super Douluo with a light attribute, could only provide temporary relief, never a cure.

Yet now, Yan Shaozhe was claiming that a level twenty-seven freshman had suppressed Ma Xiaotao's evil fire?

"It is absolutely true." Yan Shaozhe stated firmly, "Yesterday, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire erupted, and she rushed out of Lake Heart Island. By the time I arrived, Su Chen had already helped her suppress the flames. I could sense that the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao had been completely consumed; she will not have any issues for some time."

He took a deep breath, his tone becoming even more agitated: "Everyone, I suspect that Su Chen's holy attribute... has likely reached the ultimate level!"

Ultimate Holy!

These four words echoed through the meeting hall like a second thunderclap.

If the Six-Winged Angel was a legendary martial soul, then an ultimate attribute was a legendary talent! Across the entire Douluo Continent, the number of soul masters possessing ultimate attributes could be counted on one's fingers, and every single one of them was a peerless genius capable of influencing the course of an era!

The meeting hall fell into a brief silence. Everyone was so stunned by this information that they were left speechless.

After a long while, Mu En spoke slowly, his voice tinged with emotion: "Six-Winged Angel, Ultimate Holy... truly rare in a thousand years."

He looked at Yan Shaozhe: "Shaozhe, what is your opinion?"

Yan Shaozhe replied immediately: "Teacher, I believe the academy should do everything in its power to recruit Su Chen and cultivate him into a future pillar of Shrek!"

He paused to elaborate on his reasons:

"First, with Su Chen's talent, as long as he grows smoothly, our academy will usher in another century of prosperity. Just imagine, a Title Douluo with an Ultimate Holy Six-Winged Angel martial soul, perhaps even one who could become a god... what kind of concept would that be?"

"Second, Su Chen's holy attribute can solve the evil fire problem for Ma Xiaotao. You all know of Ma Xiaotao's talent; if she were not held back by the evil fire, her achievements would certainly not be inferior to Zhang Lexuan's. With two such peerless geniuses, the future of Shrek would be limitless!"

"Third," Yan Shaozhe's tone turned serious, "In recent years, Evil Soul Masters have become increasingly rampant. Soul masters with light attributes are already rare; if this child can be cultivated, he will undoubtedly be our greatest trump card against the Evil Soul Masters in the future!"

His words were clear and his reasoning sound. The elders present nodded one after another, finding it very logical.

It wasn't that there were no light-attribute soul masters in the Inner Court, but most were support-type or had chosen the wrong path. The Six-Winged Angel martial soul possessed the three attributes of light, fire, and holiness, making it the natural nemesis of Evil Soul Masters. If he truly grew up, his combat power would be absolutely terrifying.

The future of Shrek indeed needed such a genius.

As for the old grievances between Martial Soul Hall and Shrek from ten thousand years ago... Mu En felt it was unimportant. After all, that was ten thousand years ago; by now, the grudges had long since faded.

But just then--

"Hmph!"

A cold snort rang out, shattering the harmonious atmosphere of the meeting hall.

Xuan Zi tossed a chicken leg bone aside, wiped his mouth with greasy hands, and spoke with an unkind tone: "Yan Shaozhe, your words sound nice. But have you considered whether this Su Chen is worth cultivating?"

All eyes turned toward him.

Xuan Zi stood up, and beneath his slovenly appearance, the aura of a level ninety-eight Super Douluo was faintly released: "While this child Su Chen is gifted, his martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel--a descendant of the Angel clan!"

He deliberately emphasized the words "Angel clan."

"Possessing such a martial soul, and being so disrespectful to his elders, don't forget how he treated Zhou Yi!" Xuan Zi's voice rose sharply, "Making Zhou Yi kneel and kowtow in apology! That has already slapped Shrek in the face!"

"Regardless of anything else, Zhou Yi is a teacher of the academy and represents the dignity of Shrek! For a mere freshman to be so arrogant and domineering, if he grows up, he will surely become a danger to Shrek Academy!"

Xuan Zi's words carried obvious prejudice, but they were not entirely without merit. Several elders nodded slightly, clearly harboring similar concerns.

Yan Shaozhe frowned: "Elder Xuan, regarding the matter with Zhou Yi, she was at fault first. Bullying the weak and violating the wager, Su Chen was merely defending his own rights..."

"Rights?" Xuan Zi sneered, "What rights does a freshman have to speak of? At Shrek, a teacher's word is the rule! If he dares to resist, he is being disrespectful to his teachers! What does it matter if such a student has high talent? With a crooked heart, he will surely become a disaster in the future!"

His words became increasingly harsh.

He paused, his tone becoming more intense: "If you ask me, such an arrogant and domineering brat who shows no respect for his elders should not be kept, no matter how good his talent is! Who knows if he will turn around and deal with us at Shrek in the future?"

These words had escalated to the level of historical grievances. The expressions of several elders became subtle.

Yan Shaozhe grew anxious: "Elder Xuan, this is prejudice! How can you hold a twelve-year-old child accountable for things from ten thousand years ago? Su Chen currently holds no hostility toward the academy. Furthermore, from my observations, he is not an unreasonable person."

"He doesn't now, but what about in the future?" Xuan Zi interrupted him with a sneer, "Yan Shaozhe, don't think I don't know what you're planning. Aren't you just trying to use Su Chen to help your disciple Ma Xiaotao solve her evil fire problem? For the sake of your disciple, are you going to put the entire academy in danger?"
