Yan Shaozhe stared fixedly at Feng Tianyu. Although he did not deliberately release his soul power pressure, as a level 95 Super Douluo, he could inadvertently exert a pressure on Feng Tianyu as overwhelming as a flood or a wild beast.

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

Yan Shaozhe suddenly waved his hand.

"Du Weilun, take Zhou Yi and head out first. There is nothing for you here."

Du Weilun had long since realized that something was wrong!

This Feng Tianyu actually dared to refuse Yan Shaozhe—what kind of background did this guy have?

Although Shrek Academy would occasionally make exceptions due to power and connections—for instance, when Dai Huabin sent people to assassinate Huo Yuhao in Shrek City and faced no consequences—Yan Shaozhe was the Dean of Shrek Academy. He held the greatest power and was the most formidable backing himself.

To dare to speak to Yan Shaozhe like that, just how arrogant must one be?!

Du Weilun shrank his neck; he dared not think any further. This was not something he was meant to know.

He dragged the limp Zhou Yi off the floor and quickly left the Library Pavilion.

Seeing that there were no outsiders left, Yan Shaozhe tried his best to speak calmly.

"Tianyu, it was my blindness that failed to see your talent. I rejected your request for an exceptional admission, and I understand why you hold a grudge against me for that."

"It was my teacher who discovered you and granted you a special status that no one can expel: a core disciple of both the Inner and Outer Courts."

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

"But you should at least seriously consider the teacher's words!"

"Come, let the teacher be the judge!"

Feng Tianyu nodded slightly; he had known that transferring from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department would not be an easy task.

Seeing Feng Tianyu determined to lock horns with Yan Shaozhe, the smile on Beibei's face vanished completely. He tugged at Feng Tianyu's sleeve.

"Tianyu, don't be so stubborn. The Dean is surely doing this for your own good."

Feng Tianyu waved his hand, breaking free from Beibei's grip.

"Beibei, I am sorry for dragging you into my affairs, but I am going to the Soul Guidance Department no matter what. You should go back to class first; no one is stopping you now."

As the words fell, Feng Tianyu followed Yan Shaozhe away. Grey Wolf, still feeling unsatisfied, lifted its head. This soul guidance technology was truly interesting. It temporarily closed the book in its hand and chased after Feng Tianyu.

As Feng Tianyu's martial soul, Grey Wolf could not stray too far from him.

A moment later!

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

The arrival of Feng Tianyu and Yan Shaozhe caused Mu En to open his old eyes in surprise. Realizing that something must have happened, he utilized the power of the Golden Ancient Tree to transport Feng Tianyu and Yan Shaozhe into a golden space.

The heaven and earth energy in this space was extremely abundant and filled with a sacred, bright aura. If one could cultivate here long-term, the results would surely be twice as effective with half the effort.

Mu En's cloudy old eyes seemed to possess the power to see through the human heart.

"Speak, what is going on?"

Yan Shaozhe clenched his fists, saying with great grief and indignation:

"Teacher, please handle Feng Tianyu. I can't control him at all. He suffered a slight grievance in the Martial Soul Department, and I even upheld justice for him, yet even so, he is throwing away a bright future in the Martial Soul Department and insisting on transferring to the Soul Guidance Department regardless of the consequences!"

Mu En's expression did not change. Whether it was the Martial Soul Department or the Soul Guidance Department, as long as Feng Tianyu remained at Shrek Academy, he would not panic.

"Tianyu, are you insisting on going to the Soul Guidance Department because you were wronged in the Martial Soul Department and want to spite Shaozhe?"

Feng Tianyu stepped forward and puffed out his chest.

"Of course not. I want to go to the Soul Guidance Department out of a genuine interest in soul guidance technology."

Mu En sat up from his rocking chair. Why had he invested so many resources into Feng Tianyu?

It was so that after his own death, Feng Tianyu could take his place in guarding Shrek Academy!

Therefore, he could not watch Feng Tianyu waste his cultivation.

"Tianyu, soul guidance technology is indeed miraculous, especially the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Continent, which allows soul masters with average talent to possess impressive combat power."

"But you are different. Your talent is transcendent, and you should focus your energy on martial soul cultivation. You cannot let learning soul guidance technology distract you; it will slow down your cultivation progress."

Feng Tianyu smiled slightly and wrapped his arm around Grey Wolf's shoulder.

"Although I want to go to the Soul Guidance Department, I never said I wanted to learn soul guidance technology myself, so naturally, I won't be distracted by it."

"My martial soul and I can divide the labor. It will learn the soul guidance technology, and I will focus on cultivating soul power."

"Mu En, you once told me that after condensing a Soul Core, my martial soul and I could fight independently."

"But condensing a Soul Core is too far off. It would be better to arm my physical body to the teeth through soul guidance technology. By then, my martial soul and I will be two separate combat units."

"It won't delay my cultivation, and it will increase my combat power!"

!!!!

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

How could he have forgotten!

Feng Tianyu's mutated external martial soul very likely possessed a spiritual attribute, granting it intelligence and the ability to think independently. This would allow his external martial soul to study soul tool technology while his main body focused on cultivating soul power.

What a genius concept!

Although it was wildly imaginative, it was not without the possibility of being realized.

As long as it helped Feng Tianyu improve his strength, Mu En would not refuse. For the sake of Shrek Academy, he was willing to give Feng Tianyu the green light:

"Tianyu, you have convinced me!"

"Martial soul cultivation is the foundation. Your file will remain in the Martial Soul Department, but I can grant you a three-year internship to go and study at the Soul Guidance Department."

"If, after three years, your Grey Wolf martial soul can truly master soul tool technology, then I will not stop you whether you choose to stay in the Martial Soul Department or move to the Soul Guidance Department."

"But if your external martial soul does not possess enough intelligence to learn soul tool technology, you will obediently return to the Martial Soul Department, and you must not neglect your soul power cultivation during these three years."

Standing to the side, Yan Shaozhe's face turned shades of green and white. Such a maneuver was actually possible—the main body cultivating while the external martial soul studied soul tool technology.

He had originally come to seek justice from Mu En, only to have Mu En persuaded by Feng Tianyu in just a few short sentences.

A smile appeared on Feng Tianyu's face:

"Thank you for your understanding, Mu En. Three years is enough for Grey Wolf to show what he can do."

Mu En immediately sent out a soul message. Not long after, a burly figure rushed over in a flurry and was transported by Mu En into the interior space of the Golden Ancient Tree.

The man was over two meters tall with short, graying hair that stood up like steel needles. His muscles were knotted like granite, and a distinct metallic scent radiated from his massive frame.

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

"Mu En, you summoned me!"

Mu En nodded with a smile:

"Tianyu, let me introduce you. This is the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Qian Duoduo. He is an 8.5-level soul master and a Title Douluo. He is only one 9th-level soul tool away from becoming a 9th-level soul master. He is considered one of the top soul masters in our Shrek Academy."

"For the next three years, let your external martial soul study under Qian Duoduo. How much it learns will depend on whether your external martial soul has the talent for it."

He then looked at Qian Duoduo:

"Duoduo, this is Feng Tianyu. He is a genius I have taken a liking to, possessing Innate Full Soul Power and a mutated external martial soul that is suspected to have a spiritual attribute, allowing it to think and possess intelligence."

"I originally intended for him to study in the Martial Soul Department, but since he wants to join the Soul Guidance Department, I have set a three-year internship for him. During these three years, teach his external martial soul well. Everything will be clear after three years."

Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up. A genius from the Martial Soul Department, favored by Mu En, wanted to join their Soul Guidance Department.

He glanced at the green and white expression on Yan Shaozhe's face and felt better than he ever had.

Back in the day, he and Yan Shaozhe had been romantic rivals. His wife, Xian Lin'er, had originally been infatuated with Yan Shaozhe, but due to Yan Shaozhe's infidelity, she had angrily married Qian Duoduo instead.

Now that they each managed the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy respectively, having a genius from the Martial Soul Department wanting to jump ship to the Soul Guidance Department made Qian Duoduo feel a sense of triumph.

The more he looked at Feng Tianyu, the more he liked him. He gave him a thumbs up, signaling that he truly had a good eye.
