Three-Year Internship

Yan Shaozhe stared intently at Feng Tianyu. Although he didn't deliberately release the pressure of his Soul Power, as a Level 95 Super Douluo, he could still bring Feng Tianyu a tremendous, almost monstrous pressure without even realizing it.

Feng Tianyu's expression was stern, his gaze calm. He had already made his decision, and there was no reason to take it back.

Yan Shaozhe suddenly waved a hand.

"Du Weilun, take Zhou Yi and go. There's nothing for you to do here."

Du Weilun had realized something was wrong a long time ago!

This Feng Tianyu actually dared to refuse Yan Shaozhe. Just what kind of background did he have?

Although their Shrek Academy sometimes made exceptions because of power and connections—for instance, when Dai Huabin had people assassinate Huo Yuhao in Shrek City, and in the end, nothing happened to him—

Yan Shaozhe was the dean of Shrek Academy. He held the greatest power of all, and he himself was the strongest backing anyone could have.

How powerful would someone have to be to dare speak to Yan Shaozhe like that?!

Du Weilun shrank his neck. He didn't dare think any further. This wasn't something he was in a position to know.

Dragging Zhou Yi, who had collapsed on the ground, he hurried out of the Library Pavilion.

Once there were no outsiders left, Yan Shaozhe did his best to speak calmly.

"Tianyu, I was blind. I failed to recognize your talent and rejected your request to make an exception and let you enroll. I understand that you're unhappy with me because of it."

"It was my teacher who discovered you and gave you the special status of a core disciple of both the Inner Court and the Outer Court—someone no one could expel."

"You don't have to listen to me!"

"But you should at least give serious consideration to my teacher's words!"

"Come on. Let's have my teacher judge who's right!"

Feng Tianyu gave a slight nod. He had known that transferring from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department wouldn't be easy.

Seeing that Feng Tianyu intended to hold his ground against Yan Shaozhe, the smile vanished from Beibei's face. He tugged at Feng Tianyu's sleeve.

"Tianyu, don't be so stubborn. The dean must have your best interests at heart."

Feng Tianyu waved his hand and freed himself from Beibei's grasp.

"Beibei, I'm sorry I dragged you into this because of my own affairs, but I'm going to the Soul Guidance Department no matter what. Go back to class. No one's stopping you now."

With that, Feng Tianyu left with Yan Shaozhe. Grey Wolf raised his head, still reluctant to put the book down. Soul Tool Technology was really interesting. He closed the book for the moment and followed Feng Tianyu.

As Feng Tianyu's Martial Soul, Grey Wolf couldn't stray too far from him.

A short while later!

At the entrance to the Tube Building dormitory of Shrek Academy!

Feng Tianyu and Yan Shaozhe arrived together, making Mu En open his old eyes in surprise. Realizing something must have happened, he drew upon the power of the Golden Ancient Tree and brought Feng Tianyu and Yan Shaozhe into a golden space.

The space was brimming with heaven and earth energy, filled with a sacred, luminous aura. Anyone who could cultivate here for a long time would surely progress twice as fast with half the effort.

Mu En's cloudy old eyes seemed to possess the power to see straight through people.

"Tell me. What's going on?"

Yan Shaozhe clenched his fists, his voice full of indignation.

"Teacher, you need to talk some sense into Feng Tianyu. I can't control him at all! He suffered a little injustice in the Martial Soul Department, but I did see that justice was done. Even so, he's willing to throw away the bright future he has in the Martial Soul Department and insist on transferring to the Soul Guidance Department!"

Mu En's expression didn't change. Whether Feng Tianyu was in the Martial Soul Department or the Soul Guidance Department, as long as he remained at Shrek Academy, Mu En had no reason to panic.

"Tianyu, did you suffer an injustice in the Martial Soul Department and want to spite Shaozhe? Is that why you insist on going to the Soul Guidance Department?"

Feng Tianyu stepped forward and puffed out his chest.

"Of course not. I want to go to the Soul Guidance Department because I'm interested in Soul Tool Technology."

Mu En rose from his rocking chair. Why had he poured so many resources into Feng Tianyu?

So that after Mu En died, Feng Tianyu could take his place and protect Shrek Academy!

He couldn't stand by and watch Feng Tianyu neglect his cultivation.

"Tianyu, Soul Tool Technology is indeed amazing, especially the Soul Tool Technology of the Sun and Moon Continent. It can give even Soul Masters with ordinary talent impressive combat strength."

"But you're different. Your talent is extraordinary, so you should focus your energy on cultivating your Martial Soul. You can't let learning Soul Tool Technology distract you. That would slow down your cultivation."

Feng Tianyu smiled and draped an arm over Grey Wolf's shoulder.

"Although I want to go to the Soul Guidance Department, I never said I planned to learn Soul Tool Technology myself. Naturally, learning it won't distract me."

"My Martial Soul and I can divide the work. It can study Soul Tool Technology, while I focus on cultivating my Soul Power."

"Elder Mu, you once told me that after we form Dual Soul Cores, my Martial Soul and I will be able to fight independently."

"But forming Soul Cores is still a long way off. It'd be better to use Soul Tool Technology to arm my main body to the teeth. Then my Martial Soul and I will be two separate combat units."

"That way, I won't hold back my cultivation, and I can still increase my combat strength!"

!!!!

Mu En was so shocked that he stood up from his chair. He looked at Feng Tianyu, then at Grey Wolf.

How had he forgotten?

Feng Tianyu's mutated detached Martial Soul might have developed a Mental Attribute. It had intelligence and could think independently. His detached Martial Soul could study Soul Tool Technology, while his main body focused on cultivating Soul Power.

What a brilliant idea!

It was wildly imaginative, but not impossible to put into practice!

As long as it helped Feng Tianyu grow stronger, Mu En would agree to anything. For the sake of Shrek Academy, he could make an exception after exception for Feng Tianyu.

"Tianyu, you've convinced me!"

"Martial Soul cultivation is the foundation. Your records will remain in the Martial Soul Department, but I can give you a three-year internship and let you study in the Soul Guidance Department."

"If, after three years, your Grey Wolf Martial Soul really has learned Soul Tool Technology, then I won't stop you whether you want to stay in the Martial Soul Department or transfer to the Soul Guidance Department."

"But if your detached Martial Soul isn't as intelligent as you think and can't learn Soul Tool Technology, then you'll come back to the Martial Soul Department without complaint. And during these three years, you mustn't neglect cultivating your Soul Power."

Yan Shaozhe's face turned pale and then flushed. There was really such an arrangement? The main body could cultivate while the detached Martial Soul learned Soul Tool Technology.

He had come to ask Mu En to judge the matter, only for Feng Tianyu to convince him in just a few words.

A smile appeared on Feng Tianyu's face.

"Thank you for understanding, Elder Mu. Three years will be plenty of time for Grey Wolf to show what he can do."

Mu En then sent out a spiritual message. Before long, a tall, burly figure came rushing over and was transported by Mu En into the Golden Ancient Tree's inner space.

The man stood over two meters tall, with short gray-white hair that stood up like steel needles. His muscles bulged like granite, and a peculiar metallic scent radiated from his massive frame.

As soon as he arrived, he bowed to Mu En.

"Elder Mu, you called for me!"

Mu En nodded with a smile.

"Tianyu, let me introduce you. This is Qian Duoduo, vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department. He's an eighth-and-a-half-level Soul Engineer with the cultivation of a Titled Douluo. He only needs to create one Level 9 Soul Tool to become a Level 9 Soul Engineer. He's one of the top Soul Engineers at Shrek Academy."

"For the next three years, your detached Martial Soul will study under Qian Duoduo. How much it learns will depend on whether it has what it takes."

Then he turned to Qian Duoduo.

"Duoduo, this is Feng Tianyu. He's a genius I've taken an interest in. He has Innate Full Soul Power and a mutated detached Martial Soul that seems to possess a Mental Attribute. It can think and has intelligence."

"I originally planned to have him study in the Martial Soul Department, but he wants to join the Soul Guidance Department, so I've given him a three-year internship. For the next three years, teach his detached Martial Soul well. We'll see how things turn out after that."

Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up. A Martial Soul Department genius Mu En had taken an interest in wanted to join their Soul Guidance Department.

Then he took another look at Yan Shaozhe's face, pale one moment and flushed the next. Qian Duoduo couldn't have been in a better mood.

He and Yan Shaozhe had been rivals in love. His wife, Xian Lin'er, had fallen for Yan Shaozhe first, but when Yan Shaozhe proved unfaithful, she had angrily married Qian Duoduo instead.

Now they were in charge of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy, respectively. Seeing a Martial Soul Department genius jump ship to the Soul Guidance Department made Qian Duoduo feel as if he'd finally held his head high.

The more he looked at Feng Tianyu, the more he liked him. He gave him a thumbs-up, as if to say, You've got a good eye.
