Core Disciple Treatment

Body Martial Soul!

Just these few words were enough to send a massive shock through the mind of Mu En, a rank 99 Limit Douluo.

The expression on his face shifted rapidly, his gaze toward Feng Tianyu growing increasingly fervent.

Mu En understood the potential of a Body Martial Soul better than anyone.

The reason he, a dignified rank 99 Limit Douluo, was now hunched over like this was entirely due to a battle he had fought against Du Bisi, the previous sect master of the Body Sect.

Du Bisi possessed a Body Martial Soul, and his strength could be described as having reached the pinnacle. During that great battle with Mu En, both of them suffered severe injuries, leaving them with incurable wounds.

Not long after, Du Bisi died because his injuries were too severe to heal.

Mu En was only able to survive because he risked absorbing the power of a Dragon Core, luckily breaking through to become a rank 99 Limit Douluo. However, the baleful energy within the Dragon Core had damaged his waist, leaving him unable to ever stand straight again, reduced to a frail, elderly cripple.

Even now, when Mu En recalled it, he still felt a lingering sense of trepidation at Du Bisi's formidable combat prowess.

There were levels of quality even among Body Martial Souls; the more vital the body part, the more powerful the martial soul.

Feng Tianyu's Body Martial Soul was a super martial soul among Body Martial Souls, which was no wonder it brought with it the talent of Innate Full Soul Power.

Twin Martial Souls, plus a Body Martial Soul—it was a pity that the mutated Gale Demon Wolf was not a martial soul with an ultimate attribute, otherwise, Feng Tianyu would have gathered the strongest possible talent.

Mu En felt a hint of regret!

But even so, with Twin Martial Souls and a Body Martial Soul, Feng Tianyu's future potential was immeasurable.

Mu En's eyes were fervent; he had already come to view Feng Tianyu as the future hope of Shrek Academy, and Feng Tianyu's background was clean and trustworthy.

"Tianyu, it is fortunate that this old man followed along this time, or else I would have let my good-for-nothing disciple commit a grave mistake. Everything still has a chance to be mended!"

"In my capacity as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, I have decided to admit you into Shrek Academy ahead of schedule. While in the Outer Court, you shall enjoy the status of an Outer Court core disciple, and when you enter the Inner Court, you shall enjoy the status of an Inner Court core disciple."

"You need not undergo any assessments, and no one has the authority to expel you from the academy."

Mu En walked forward and patted Feng Tianyu on the shoulder, his voice gentle and earnest.

"Tianyu, we are family, after all."

"You are a descendant of the Shenfeng Lineage. Your ancestor, Feng Xiaotian, led the Four Elements Academy to join Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago and was one of the founders of our Shrek Academy."

"Even now, a statue of your ancestor, Feng Xiaotian, stands within the academy. Shrek Academy will always be your home. This old man will certainly cultivate you with all my might, allowing you to become a powerhouse just like your ancestor."

Upon receiving Mu En's promise, Feng Tianyu should have been very happy, even if he had to pretend to be.

But he simply didn't have the heart for it right now!

Feng Tianyu was now truly and clearly experiencing the double standards of Shrek Academy.

If you have talent, you are family to Shrek Academy!

If you don't have talent, you are just a passerby to Shrek Academy!

If he hadn't awakened a Body Martial Soul, he would likely be no different from anyone else in the eyes of Shrek Academy.

Even though he had now gained Mu En's favor, he felt no sense of belonging to Shrek Academy.

In Feng Tianyu's heart, there was only himself. Only by becoming strong on one's own would others look at you with respect.

If one only thought of relying on others, they would be no different from a stray dog on the side of the road, liable to be stepped on by anyone.

Out of consideration for the various promises Mu En had made him, Feng Tianyu still pulled himself together and offered his thanks.

"Many thanks, Mu En!"

As a rank 99 Limit Douluo, Mu En's spiritual power was incredibly sharp; naturally, he could perceive that Feng Tianyu's spirits were low.

He couldn't blame a six-year-old child, so he could only grumble about his own good-for-nothing disciple, Yan Shaozhe.

As the possessor of the Bright Phoenix martial soul, he should have been open-minded and impartial.

Yet, Yan Shaozhe was narrow-minded and petty. He wasn't a bad person, but his way of doing things always gave people a sense of small-mindedness.

If it weren't for the fact that his strength was sufficient—he was a rank 95 Super Douluo—and that he truly loved Shrek Academy, Mu En would never have chosen him as the Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

He muttered to himself in his heart:

"This child Shaozhe, is there something wrong with his ancestral bloodline? Could he be some kind of heaven-defying, resentment-inducing evil soul master? A possessor of the Bright Phoenix martial soul, even under my constant instruction and guidance, still hasn't been fully corrected and has developed this narrow-minded, petty personality."

"That shouldn't be possible, though. To be able to inherit the Bright Phoenix martial soul, even if his ancestors weren't selfless, good people, they couldn't possibly have been heaven-defying, evil people. Strange, truly strange."

Mu En had ruled out the correct answer first; he could never have imagined that Yan Shaozhe's ancestor really was an evil soul master, and the leader of the evil soul masters on the Douluo Continent at that.

Yan Shaozhe's grandmother, Ye Xishui, was Mu En's girlfriend, and Yan Shaozhe's grandfather, Long Xiaoyao, was Mu En's sworn brother. His brother had cuckolded him, and he, in his ignorance, had taken the grandson of his own brother and girlfriend as his disciple.

One has to say, this is the specialty of the Douluo Continent: a lineage of love triangles.

What appears to be a continental conflict is, in reality, just a family ethics dispute.

Returning to the main topic, Mu En valued Feng Tianyu highly. Feng Tianyu, possessing a Body Martial Soul, would inevitably become a top-tier powerhouse on the continent in the future.

Moreover, Feng Tianyu had Twin Martial Souls. Relying on the advantage of being able to absorb 18 soul rings with Twin Martial Souls, after Feng Tianyu broke through to become a Titled Douluo, he would have the opportunity to break through to a Limit Douluo in a short period of time.

To show his goodwill to Feng Tianyu, Mu En was willing to go all out.

"Tianyu, I know that you are currently in need of hunting a soul beast to absorb as your first soul ring."

"Your first soul ring cannot be taken lightly; it concerns your future achievements and must be chosen with care."

"I will personally take you on a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest to select the most suitable soul beast for your first soul ring."

Having said this, Mu En turned his head to look at Yan Shaozhe, his tone inevitably becoming a bit more stern:

"Shaozhe, you return to Shrek Academy and arrange the enrollment for Feng Tianyu. Once I return from the Star Dou Great Forest with him, have him begin his studies in the first grade."

Yan Shaozhe dared not delay. Because of his blindness, he had nearly caused Shrek Academy to miss out on a genius. His heart was now a complex mix of emotions; he felt some resentment toward Feng Tianyu for not revealing his Twin Martial Souls from the start, which had ultimately resulted in Mu En knocking two large bumps onto his head.

Yan Shaozhe truly had the potential to be the Blind Douluo; every genius he looked down upon possessed their own extraordinary qualities.

For instance, Huo Yuhao from the original timeline.

And now, Feng Tianyu.

"Rest assured, Teacher, this disciple understands. I will certainly make proper arrangements for Tianyu so that when he arrives at Shrek Academy, he will feel as if he has returned to his own home."

Mu En nodded, his expression softening slightly as he turned back to look at Feng Tianyu with a beaming smile:

"Tianyu, you will first study in the Outer Court of Shrek Academy. Once you have laid a solid foundation, you will be able to advance to the Inner Court."

"On the day you enter the Inner Court, I will teach you a Self-Created Soul Skill. It is my signature technique: Reign Over the World."

Hearing this, Feng Tianyu's spirits lifted. That technique, Reign Over the World, was a fusion of spiritual power and soul power that allowed attacks to carry an additional mental assault. Furthermore, enemies defeated by Reign Over the World would be left with psychological trauma, causing them to become timid and unable to unleash their full strength when facing him in the future. It was an incredibly formidable Self-Created Soul Skill.

For the sake of Reign Over the World, Feng Tianyu wore a smile and offered his thanks solemnly:

"Many thanks, Elder Ling—no, Elder Mu! I will study hard at Shrek Academy!"

Mu En felt a little more at ease; he could tell that this time, Feng Tianyu's thanks carried a bit more genuine sincerity.

He then glanced at Elder Ling in the corner:

"Ling Cao, I recall that is your name. Back then, you were just a little tot, but so many years have passed, and you are now of a ripe old age."

"You did well this time by discovering a genius for Shrek Academy. I would like to express my gratitude to you here."

"Furthermore, regarding Tianyu's Twin Martial Souls—especially the fact that his second is a Body Martial Soul—you must keep your lips sealed. It must never be spread."

Ling Cao's expression was one of agitation. Firstly, he had not expected to see Mu En today, and secondly, he had not expected Mu En to actually remember him.

Upon hearing what Mu En said, Ling Cao swore by his own martial soul that he would never let a single word regarding Feng Tianyu slip out.
