Core Disciple Benefits

Body Martial Soul!

Just those few words sent a tremendous shock through Mu En's mind, even as a Level 99 Limit Douluo.

The expression on his face shifted repeatedly, and his gaze toward Feng Tianyu grew increasingly fervent.

Mu En knew better than anyone just how great the potential of a Body Martial Soul was.

The reason this dignified Level 99 Limit Douluo had become so hunched over was because he had once fought Du Bisou, the former sect master of the Body Sect.

Du Bisou possessed a Body Martial Soul, and his strength had reached the pinnacle. During that great battle with Mu En, both had suffered severe injuries, leaving behind wounds that could never heal.

Not long afterward, Du Bisou died from his grave injuries.

Mu En had survived only because he had risked absorbing the power of the Dragon Core, luckily breaking through to become a Level 99 Limit Douluo. However, the Dragon Core's violent aura had damaged his waist, and he had never been able to straighten his back again, becoming a frail and crippled old man.

Even now, whenever Mu En recalled it, Du Bisou's formidable combat ability still left him with lingering fear.

Body Martial Souls also varied in quality. The more vital the body part, the more powerful the Martial Soul's quality.

Feng Tianyu's Body Martial Soul was a supreme Martial Soul among Body Martial Souls. No wonder it had granted him the talent of Innate Full Soul Power.

Twin Martial Souls combined with a Body Martial Soul... Unfortunately, that mutated Gale Demon Wolf was not a Martial Soul with an ultimate attribute. Otherwise, Feng Tianyu would have possessed the strongest possible talent.

Mu En felt somewhat regretful!

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

Mu En's eyes burned with enthusiasm. He already regarded Feng Tianyu as Shrek Academy's hope for the future. Furthermore, Feng Tianyu's background was clean and trustworthy.

"Tianyu, fortunately, this old man came along this time. Otherwise, my disappointing disciple might have committed a grave mistake. There is still a chance to make things right!"

"In my capacity as the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, I have decided to admit you into Shrek Academy ahead of schedule. While you are in the Outer Court, you will receive the treatment of an Outer Court Core Disciple. Once you enter the Inner Court, you will receive the treatment of an Inner Court Core Disciple."

"You will not need to undergo any assessment, and no one is qualified to expel you from the academy."

Mu En stepped forward and patted Feng Tianyu on the shoulder. His voice was gentle and earnest.

"Tianyu, we were family to begin with."

"You are a descendant of the Shenfeng Lineage. Ten thousand years ago, your ancestor Feng Xiaotian led the Four Elements Academy into Shrek Academy. He was also one of Shrek Academy's founders."

"Even now, a statue of your ancestor Feng Xiaotian still stands within the academy. Shrek Academy will always be your home. This old man will certainly nurture you with all his strength and help you become a powerhouse like your ancestor."

Feng Tianyu should have been delighted by Mu En's promise. Even if he had to pretend, he should have looked extremely happy.

But he truly had no interest in it right now!

Feng Tianyu had now experienced Shrek Academy's double standards firsthand.

If you had talent, you were Shrek Academy's family!

If you had no talent, you were merely a passerby to Shrek Academy!

If he had not awakened a Body Martial Soul, then to Shrek Academy, he probably would not have been any different from anyone else.

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

Feng Tianyu only had himself in his heart. Only by becoming strong could he make others think highly of him.

If one only thought of relying on others, one would be no different from a stray dog by the roadside, ready for anyone to step on.

For the sake of all the promises Mu En had given him, Feng Tianyu still gathered his spirits and thanked him.

"Thank you, Elder Mu!"

As a Level 99 Limit Douluo, Mu En's spiritual power was incredibly sharp. Naturally, he could sense Feng Tianyu's lack of enthusiasm.

He could not possibly blame a six-year-old child. He could only resent his disappointing disciple, Yan Shaozhe.

As the possessor of the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul, Yan Shaozhe should have been open-hearted, fair, and selfless.

Yet Yan Shaozhe was petty and calculated over every little thing. He was not a bad person, but the way he handled himself and affairs always gave others a small-minded impression.

If his strength had not been sufficient—if he had not been a Level 95 Super Douluo, and if he had not truly loved Shrek Academy—Mu En would never have chosen him as the dean of the Martial Soul Department.

Mu En silently grumbled to himself.

"Could there be something wrong with Shaozhe's ancestral bloodline? Could one of his ancestors have been some utterly abhorrent Evil Soul Master? A possessor of the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul, and even after this old man's repeated instruction, he still could not be completely corrected. He has still developed such a petty, calculating personality."

"That cannot be right. Anyone capable of inheriting the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul, even if their ancestors were not self-sacrificing good people, could not possibly have produced such utterly abhorrent villains. How strange. How truly strange."

Mu En had immediately ruled out the correct answer. No matter what, he could not have imagined that Yan Shaozhe's ancestors really had been Evil Soul Masters—and the leader of the Evil Soul Masters on the continent, no less.

Yan Shaozhe's grandmother, Ye Xishui, had been Mu En's girlfriend. Yan Shaozhe's grandfather, Long Xiaoyao, had been Mu En's good brother. His brother had cuckolded him, yet without knowing it, he had taken his brother and girlfriend's grandson as his disciple.

It had to be said that this was the distinctive flavor of the Douluo Continent: a love triangle passed down through generations.

What looked like conflicts across the continent was, in truth, just family drama.

Returning to the main topic, Mu En thought very highly of Feng Tianyu. With a Body Martial Soul, Feng Tianyu would certainly become one of the continent's greatest powerhouses in the future.

Furthermore, Feng Tianyu possessed Twin Martial Souls. With the advantage of being able to absorb eighteen Soul Rings, once Feng Tianyu broke through to become a Titled Douluo, he would have a chance to reach the Limit Douluo realm within a short time.

In order to show Feng Tianyu his goodwill, Mu En was willing to spare no expense.

"Tianyu, I know you currently need to hunt a soul beast and absorb it as your first Soul Ring."

"This first Soul Ring cannot be chosen carelessly. It concerns your future achievements, so you must choose a good one."

"This old man will personally take you to the Star Dou Great Forest and select the most suitable soul beast for your first Soul Ring."

At this point, Mu En turned to Yan Shaozhe, and his tone involuntarily became sterner.

"Shaozhe, return to Shrek Academy and arrange Tianyu's enrollment. Once Tianyu and I return from the Star Dou Great Forest, let him enter the first year to study."

How could Yan Shaozhe dare to delay? Because of his blindness, Shrek Academy had nearly missed out on a genius. His feelings were complicated now, and he somewhat resented Feng Tianyu for not explaining from the beginning that he possessed Twin Martial Souls, ultimately causing Mu En to knock two huge lumps onto his head.

Yan Shaozhe truly had the potential to become a Blind Douluo. Every genius he looked down on had some extraordinary quality of their own.

For example, Huo Yuhao from the original storyline.

And Feng Tianyu now.

"Rest assured, Teacher. This disciple understands. I will definitely make proper arrangements for Tianyu, so that when he comes to Shrek Academy, it will feel as though he has returned home."

Mu En nodded, his expression easing slightly. He then turned back to Feng Tianyu with a smiling face.

"Tianyu, first study in Shrek Academy's Outer Court. Once you have built a solid foundation, you can advance into Shrek's Inner Court."

"On the day you enter Shrek's Inner Court, this old man will teach you a Self-Created Soul Skill. It is this old man's signature technique: Reign Over the World."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyu perked up. Reign Over the World fused spiritual power and Soul Power, allowing attacks to carry spiritual attacks as well. Moreover, any enemy defeated by Reign Over the World would be left with a psychological shadow. When facing him again in the future, they would become timid and unable to exert their full strength. It was an exceptionally powerful Self-Created Soul Skill.

For the sake of Reign Over the World, a smile appeared on Feng Tianyu's face, and he solemnly thanked him.

"Thank you, Elder Mu. I will study diligently at Shrek Academy!"

Mu En relaxed slightly. He could tell that Feng Tianyu's thanks this time contained a little more sincerity.

He then glanced at Elder Ling in the corner.

"Ling Cao, I recall that this was your name. Back then, you were still a little child. So many years have passed, and now you are already quite old."

"You did well this time. You discovered a genius for Shrek Academy, and this old man thanks you for it."

"Also, regarding Tianyu's Twin Martial Souls—especially the fact that his second Martial Soul is a Body Martial Soul—you must keep it absolutely confidential. You must not spread word of it."

Ling Cao was excited. First, he had never expected to see Mu En today. Second, he had never expected Mu En to still remember him.

After hearing Mu En's words, Ling Cao swore upon his Martial Soul that he would never reveal even a single word about Feng Tianyu.
