Mu En, the Dragon God

Feng Tianyu no longer wanted to bother with Yan Shaozhe!

What did he mean by "getting admitted into your Shrek Academy"?

Yan Shaozhe's own grandparents were Long Xiaoyao, the Chief Honored Guest of the Holy Spirit Cult, and Ye Xishui, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a mole planted by the Holy Spirit Cult into Shrek Academy.

As for Feng Tianyu's ancestor, he was Feng Xiaotian of the Shenfeng Lineage from the Four Elements Academy, who had joined Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago.

In terms of being well-rooted and red-blooded, and in terms of pure lineage, Feng Tianyu was the standard, upstanding Shrek candidate.

Yet, he was now being turned away by Yan Shaozhe, who claimed to represent Shrek Academy!

Feng Tianyu felt extremely speechless inside, his spirits dampened to the point where he didn't even want to speak. He crouched down to help up Grey Wolf, pouring his soul power continuously into the wolf's body.

As a martial soul, Grey Wolf's body was composed of energy. With the replenishment of Feng Tianyu's soul power, the injuries caused by the Phoenix Flame miraculously began to recover.

There were benefits to becoming a martial soul; even if Grey Wolf were beaten to death, it could be resurrected within Feng Tianyu's body.

In fact, as long as Feng Tianyu's soul power continued to supply it, Grey Wolf could rapidly recover from any injury.

Given the relationship between host and martial soul, as long as Feng Tianyu did not die, Grey Wolf would be immortal and indestructible.

Grey Wolf gasped for air, casting a lingering, fearful glance at Yan Shaozhe, its wolf face filled with resentment:

"Feng Tianyu, this world is too terrifying. I feel like that bird from just now could have torn my body apart!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Why is it that no matter which world I go to, I am destined to be bullied!"

"I want to become stronger. I will become the strongest step by step. I will be the one who stands at the peak!"

"This grudge from today, I, the Great King, will remember it!"

Feng Tianyu's tone was flat, yet it carried a sense of determination:

"That day will come..."

Meanwhile, Elder Ling was still trying to plead on Feng Tianyu's behalf, sparing no effort to recommend him:

"Dean Yan, please reconsider!"

"This is Innate Full Soul Power! Even if the martial soul quality is a bit lacking, the talent of Innate Full Soul Power is enough for Tianyu to reach the realm of a Title Douluo in the future!"

"Please show some mercy and admit him into Shrek Academy early. I guarantee that as long as the academy is willing to nurture him, Tianyu will surely become a pillar of Shrek Academy in the future!"

Yan Shaozhe remained completely unmoved, his face written with the words "impartial and incorruptible":

"Enough. Shrek Academy has its rules. Tianyu's talent is good, but his martial soul quality is average. I cannot make an exception for him."

"As you said, he has Innate Full Soul Power. Sooner or later, he will be able to rely on his own efforts to get admitted into our Shrek Academy."

"Tianyu, work hard. I believe in you..."

Just as Yan Shaozhe was making excuses, a voice that was gentle yet filled with majesty echoed from the void:

"Shaozhe!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Yan Shaozhe's body trembled. He tightened his posture, looking utterly submissive:

"Teacher, have you arrived?"

As the words fell, ripples appeared in the space within the room. From those ripples, an old man with white hair and beard, his face a map of deep wrinkles, and his frame hunched, stepped out slowly.

Not a shred of aura leaked from his body; he seemed like the most ordinary old man imaginable.

But could an ordinary old man walk out of the void like that?

This was definitely no simple old man!

Combined with the "Teacher" title Yan Shaozhe had used, the old man's identity was clear...

The Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, one of the strongest individuals on the Douluo Continent today, the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En!

Seeing this unremarkable, even exceptionally short and hunched old man, Yan Shaozhe bowed his waist and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, asking with a look of confusion:

"Teacher, why have you come?"

Mu En's face tightened. He curled his left index and middle fingers and rapped Yan Shaozhe on the head. With a thud, a large bump swelled up on Yan Shaozhe's head, causing him to let out a muffled groan of pain.

After disciplining Yan Shaozhe, Mu En finally spoke:

"If I hadn't come out, I would have had to watch you turn away a genius!"

Yan Shaozhe clutched the bump on his head, looking at Feng Tianyu with confusion upon hearing this. Although he didn't speak, the contempt in his eyes was overflowing.

It was as if he were saying, That trash martial soul deserves to be called a genius?

Seeing this, Mu En couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:

"You, oh you. Your vision is so shallow. You are hardly qualified to be the Dean of Shrek Academy. How can I feel at ease entrusting you with heavy responsibilities in the future!"

As he finished speaking, Mu En looked at Feng Tianyu. The wrinkles on his face smoothed out, and his gaze became as gentle as if he were looking at one of his own descendants:

"Tianyu, hello!"

"My name is Mu En, and I am the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion here at Shrek Academy!"

"To tell you the truth, my ancestor was one of the founders of Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago, known as the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang."

"My ancestor's martial soul, just like yours, was an external martial soul. It was a malignant mutation of the Overlord Dragon: Luo Sanpao."

"I happened to hear that another external martial soul had appeared, just like my ancestor's, so I grew curious and followed you secretly to see the situation."

"And as a result, I saw this good-for-nothing disciple of mine actually turning you away at the door..."

Speaking of this, Mu En grew angry again, curling his left index and middle fingers to rap Yan Shaozhe on the head once more.

With a dull thud, Yan Shaozhe let out a muffled groan as a second bump swelled up on his head.

He dared not show any disrespect toward Mu En, so he could only fix a sharp gaze upon Feng Tianyu, as if he wanted to see through him from the outside in, to discern exactly what kind of talent Feng Tianyu possessed.

At this moment, Feng Tianyu felt a massive shock in his heart. He had only come today to obtain the first soul ring for Grey Wolf; how had he encountered one exaggerated big shot after another!

First there was Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe, and now Dragon God Douluo Mu En!

Dragon God Douluo Mu En, a level 99 Limit Douluo, was one of the strongest individuals on the Douluo Continent!

Seeing Feng Tianyu's stunned expression, Mu En did not find it strange; after all, his existence was a secret even within Shrek Academy.

Except for the members of the Sea God Pavilion, very few people knew he was still alive.

A glint of wisdom flashed in Mu En's eyes as he spoke with a very certain tone:

"According to the Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Souls proposed by my ancestor Yu Xiaogang, the level of Innate Soul Power is directly proportional to the quality of the martial soul."

"The higher the quality of the martial soul, the higher the Innate Soul Power."

"The lower the quality of the martial soul, the lower the Innate Soul Power."

"This external martial soul of yours truly cannot be considered a powerful martial soul; therefore, it is absolutely impossible for it to have granted you the talent of Innate Full Soul Power."

"I can be 100% certain that you possess a second martial soul, and it is one of extremely high quality."

As soon as these words were spoken, before Feng Tianyu could even admit it, Yan Shaozhe, standing to the side, let out an exclamation of disbelief:

"How is that possible? Twin Martial Souls!"

"Feng Tianyu, you have Twin Martial Souls? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

That sharp gaze seemed as if it wanted to pierce right through Feng Tianyu.

Mu En immediately frowned and reprimanded him sternly:

"Shaozhe!"

"Put away your interrogation. A martial soul is a person's secret; whether or not to speak of it is Tianyu's freedom!"

Under Mu En's reprimand, Yan Shaozhe withdrew his sharp gaze, his heart filled with an indescribable feeling.

But mostly, it was shame. As the Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, he had failed to notice that Feng Tianyu possessed Twin Martial Souls.

At this moment, he prayed in his heart that Feng Tianyu did not actually have Twin Martial Souls, otherwise, it would mean he was a poor judge of character and had nearly missed out on a peerless genius.

As for Feng Tianyu, he was secretly grumbling to himself. It was a case of a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse—Mu En had guessed correctly; he really did have Twin Martial Souls.

This put Feng Tianyu in a difficult position. Under the watchful eyes of a Limit Douluo, trying to continue hiding his body-type martial soul was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

If he kept hiding it and left a negative impression on Mu En, making him think he had ulterior motives, then there would be no place for him in Shrek Academy or Shrek City.

Conversely, gaining Mu En's trust and protection would be of great benefit to his growth.

If he could even obtain the tilted resources of Shrek Academy, he would have hit the jackpot.

On the path of cultivation, one step fast means every step is fast!

Finding someone with good character to be a backer was much easier than starting from scratch, and at least Mu En was far more reliable than the likes of Xuan Zi or Yan Shaozhe.

Besides, what was he afraid of? He was a descendant of the Shenfeng Lineage; in Shrek Academy, he could be considered to have pure roots and red seedlings.

"Elder Mu, you guessed correctly. I do indeed have Twin Martial Souls."

"Aside from my first martial soul, Grey Wolf—oh, right, Grey Wolf is the name I gave my first martial soul."

"I also have a second martial soul; it seems to be my own body."
