Feng Tianyu's eyes were frighteningly bright!
Just as Mu En had said, after absorbing the soul ring of the Gale Two-Headed Wolf, the greatest gain—aside from obtaining the Wind Blade Array soul skill, which rivaled a thousand-year soul skill—was the improvement in Grey Wolf's ability to control the wind attribute.
If one were to rank the mastery of the wind attribute on a scale of one to ten!
Ten is the Ultimate Wind!
Previously, Grey Wolf's mastery of the wind attribute was at most a level six—neither high nor low, just slightly above average.
That was the standard level for Grey Wolf after fusing with the Gale Demon Wolf martial soul.
However, the Gale Two-Headed Wolf, as a variant of the Gale Demon Wolf, possessed a wind attribute mastery infinitely close to the Ultimate Wind, sitting at approximately level 9.9.
Now, Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf had absorbed the Gale Two-Headed Wolf's soul ring, boosting Grey Wolf's wind attribute mastery to near-Ultimate Wind levels, effectively jumping from level six to level nine.
This improvement was nothing short of massive!
Based on this wind attribute mastery alone, Grey Wolf could be considered a standout among high-level martial souls, separated by only a thin line from top-tier martial souls like the Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, or Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
More importantly, this gave Feng Tianyu hope. Perhaps because the Grey Wolf martial soul was a pure energy construct without a physical body, it was able to perfectly absorb the elemental energy within the soul ring.
Looking at it this way, as long as the second and third soul rings Feng Tianyu absorbed were powerful enough, there was a chance to push Grey Wolf's wind attribute mastery to level ten, truly grasping the Ultimate Wind and becoming a genuine Ultimate martial soul.
Then Feng Tianyu would be set!
Possessing Twin Martial Souls—one an Ultimate Wind martial soul, the other a Body Martial Soul—Grey Wolf would be able to fight independently once he condensed dual Soul Cores in the future.
With Grey Wolf's extraordinary intelligence, he could even vigorously develop soul guidance technology, creating Battle Armor and Mecha thousands of years ahead of schedule.
Feng Tianyu possessed a Body Martial Soul, and his compatibility with Battle Armor and Mecha was extremely high; it could even be called a "match made in heaven." The formidable physique of a Body Martial Soul could withstand the load brought by Battle Armor and Mecha to the greatest extent.
Once Feng Tianyu's Body Martial Soul reached the level of a Limit Douluo with nine 100,000-year soul rings, wearing Battle Armor and piloting a Mecha, he would even dare to challenge gods with a mortal body.
From then on, he would reach the pinnacle of life!
Just thinking about it made the corners of Feng Tianyu's mouth lift involuntarily. The brightness and brilliance of his future filled him with boundless anticipation!
Mu En, standing nearby, naturally did not know what Feng Tianyu was thinking. Seeing the boy's excited expression, he assumed it was simply because he had successfully absorbed a 500-year Gale Two-Headed Wolf soul ring.
Mu En stroked his beard and smiled. In his view, Feng Tianyu was still a six-year-old child, after all; it was understandable that he would be so excited after exceeding his limits to absorb a 500-year soul ring.
"Tianyu, now that your Grey Wolf martial soul has absorbed a suitable first soul ring, it is time for us to leave the Star Dou Great Forest."
"By the time we return to Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe should have your enrollment matters arranged. If we head there now, we'll arrive just in time for lunch."
After Mu En finished speaking, Feng Tianyu snapped out of his reverie. No matter how formidable he might become in the future, he was currently just a small soul master with 13 levels of soul power. He had to remain humble, cautious, and disciplined.
Feng Tianyu fully utilized his age to his advantage, putting on a well-behaved and sensible expression:
"I will follow your arrangements, Elder Mu!"
Mu En nodded with a smile. He reached out with his withered palms, grabbing the shoulders of Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf. With a thought, spatial ripples radiated from his body, and the figures of the two and the wolf vanished completely from within the ripples.
Soon, only a pile of wolf carcasses remained on the ground. Even after four or five hours, the stench of blood lingered, refusing to dissipate.
Without Mu En here, it wouldn't take long before these carcasses became a feast for the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
At the same time!
Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf both felt dizzy and disoriented. Within their field of vision, space seemed to fold, and the surrounding scenery became a bizarre, kaleidoscopic blur.
As Mu En carried them through space, looking outward, everything—people, objects, and buildings—appeared twisted and shattered. This fragmentation made their heads feel as if they were about to explode.
Without a formidable physique, entering space was a death wish. Fortunately, Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf were protected by Mu En; otherwise, their bodies would have been twisted and shattered just like the scenery around them.
But the speed of travel was indeed fast. One moment they were in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the next, they were back in Shrek City.
Inside Shrek Academy, behind the statues of the Shrek Seven Devils, Flender, Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, and the others!
Ripples appeared in the air, and Mu En emerged with Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf.
When Mu En let go, Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. Their heads felt like mush, as if they had spun in circles hundreds of times.
After a long while, Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf finally regained their senses and helped each other stand up.
Seeing that Feng Tianyu had recovered, Mu En said:
"Tianyu, I have already notified Shaozhe. You will follow him shortly to officially enroll."
Feng Tianyu's face was pale, his head still somewhat foggy from the dizziness of spatial travel. Hearing Mu En's arrangement, he responded instinctively:
"Alright, I understand."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!
Having received Mu En's soul transmission, Yan Shaozhe arrived behind the statues immediately.
He first bowed to Mu En:
"Teacher, you have returned so quickly. Have you already found a suitable first soul ring for Tianyu?"
Mu En instructed in a solemn tone:
"Yes. Tianyu now has 13 levels of soul power and is a true soul master. I leave him in your hands now."
"As I said before, after he enrolls, give Tianyu the treatment of an inner courtyard core disciple. Provide him with the best of everything. Additionally, besides his top-tier nutritional meals, prepare a portion of Whale Rubber over 3,000 years old for him every day, and keep feeding it to him until his body develops a resistance and can no longer improve his physical constitution."
Yan Shaozhe gasped, a top-tier nutritional meal cost at most a few dozen Gold Soul Coins, so supplying that was not difficult.
However, Whale Rubber over 3,000 years old had a market price of at least fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins; to let Feng Tianyu eat it until his body developed a resistance would require an investment of at least a million Gold Soul Coins.
This was no small sum!
Yan Shaozhe's penny-pinching, narrow-minded nature flared up again. He cast a complex look at Feng Tianyu before tentatively saying:
"Teacher, even if you value Feng Tianyu, isn't it too extravagant to supply 3,000-year-old Whale Rubber every day? If we change it to once every three days, or even five, we could effectively control costs."
Smack!
Mu En curled his left index and middle fingers and rapped Yan Shaozhe on the head, scolding him sternly:
"What do you mean by 'effectively control costs'! Shaozhe, you've fallen into the money pit. When cultivating the future of the academy, one should spare no effort or investment."
"If you continue to be so stingy, I will hand Feng Tianyu over to Lin'er and Duoduo to cultivate. Your Martial Soul Department may be broke, but their Soul Guidance Department is plenty wealthy."
Feng Tianyu's eyes lit up as he listened. Great! He had been wanting to have Grey Wolf learn soul guidance technology. Although the Shrek Academy Soul Guidance Department could not yet compare to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it would be enough for Grey Wolf to learn the basics, and he could find a way to steal techniques from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy later.
But Yan Shaozhe did not let Feng Tianyu get his wish. If a genius possessing Twin Martial Souls and a Body Martial Soul were to transfer from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department, he, as the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, might as well quit.
Yan Shaozhe gritted his teeth, endured the heartache, and agreed with a twitching face:
"Fine, fine, I'll listen to you, Teacher. One portion of 3,000-year-old Whale Rubber every day; it's not like our Martial Soul Department can't afford it."
Only then did Mu En's expression soften. He greeted Feng Tianyu, gave Yan Shaozhe a few more instructions, and then vanished as if he had teleported away.
Now, only Yan Shaozhe and Feng Tianyu were left, staring at each other with wide eyes...
