Mu En Comes Calling, Xuan Zi...

The Indomitable Staff Technique first appeared in Douluo Dalu III ten thousand years later. It was a staff technique passed down and studied through generations of the Qiangu Clan, divided into nine forms!

Yet there were only eight forms now. Clearly, the most crucial final move had yet to be developed.

As Qiangu Qitian flipped through the thick notes documenting the Indomitable Staff Technique, an unyielding fighting spirit surged awake within him!

He itched to fight to his heart's content at once!

The Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul gave him an indomitable will and an impassioned fighting spirit. He was destined for an extraordinary future.

If events followed the original plot, ten thousand years from now he would have a descendant named Qiangu Dieting, who would use the Coiling Dragon Staff to bend the divine artifact Golden Dragon Spear by force, his explosive power hailed as the greatest on the continent.

Since his descendant would be so formidable, then he, their ancestor, could not be lacking either!

He had to learn the Indomitable Staff Technique, as well as Weight of Ease and Weight of Heaviness!

The Coiling Dragon Staff was actually very heavy. Though it could not compare to a Clear Sky Hammer of the same level, it was still among the heaviest Tool Martial Souls!

If he could master Weight of Ease and Weight of Heaviness, he would be able to catch opponents off guard in battle and make his fighting style utterly unpredictable.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to master these two techniques. Even if merely getting started proved difficult, he absolutely could not give up.

"Qitian, our family's Coiling Dragon Staff comes with the ability to grow and shrink. Try to draw out this ability."

Seeing Qiangu Qitian put the notes back into his Soul Tool, Wang Yan summoned his own Martial Soul. It was also a Coiling Dragon Staff, with no major differences in appearance, except that its aura was noticeably weaker.

Under Qiangu Qitian's watchful gaze, Wang Yan's Coiling Dragon Staff gradually shrank until it resembled an embroidery needle. Then, starting from the size of that needle, it continuously expanded until it was as tall as its wielder.

The ability to grow and shrink?

Upon seeing this, Qiangu Qitian immediately closed his eyes and sensed the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand. The next moment, he abruptly opened his eyes, delight flashing across his face.

That was because he had already grasped this ability!

In the next instant, the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand became an embroidery needle, small enough to hide in his ear. Then it returned to its full-length form.

"Not bad. If you master growing and shrinking properly, you can completely catch your enemies off guard in battle."

"Qitian, your talent is the result of blessings from generations of Qiangu Clan ancestors. For the Qiangu Clan to rise again, you need guidance from the strong."

"Your uncle only has the strength of a Soul Ancestor. I am destined to be unable to guide you much."

"I can offer you advice in theory, but you must still explore your own path. Things written in books can only serve as references if they have not been put into practice."

"This room contains some of my cultivation notes on the Coiling Dragon Staff. You can look through them for reference."

"I need to seek out an elder now. Your talent and Martial Soul must receive the best resources. Keeping you by my side will only hold back your cultivation speed!"

That was right. Wang Yan planned to pay a visit to his nominal grandmaster. Although that grandmaster was often unreliable in certain respects, he was still a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo. With his guidance, Qiangu Qitian's future growth would only become smoother.

"Alright!"

Qiangu Qitian did not know which elder Wang Yan intended to seek out, but Wang Yan had raised him since childhood. To him, Wang Yan was the closest person in the world. Naturally, everything the man did was for his own good, so all he needed to do was wait.

After Wang Yan left, Qiangu Qitian immediately found notes on cultivating the Coiling Dragon Staff on a bookshelf in the room. He had never turned down notes that could make him stronger.

As a renowned scholar and theorist of Shrek Academy, his uncle's notes were truly detailed. Though he had only skimmed through them once, he had still gained quite a lot.

The corners of Qiangu Qitian's lips curled upward. Just as he was about to rise and look through the other books on the shelf, a burst of noisy footsteps sounded, accompanied by the tapping of a cane against the floor.

The sound of a cane striking the ground... Had his uncle actually invited that person over?

Qiangu Qitian's expression immediately turned strange. It was not impossible for Wang Yan to know Xuan Zi and then get to know Mu En through Xuan Zi, but could his uncle really invite Mu En here?

Still, it was not entirely incomprehensible. Although Shrek Academy was now hailed as the continent's foremost academy and a massive neutral force that no empire or faction could ignore, Shrek was actually suffering from a lack of successors.

As far as Qiangu Qitian knew, Shrek's only presentable genius was Zhang Lexuan. As for Ma Xiaotao, her talent was quite good, but due to her evil fire, she was destined to be unable to cultivate continuously. Otherwise, she would be controlled by the evil fire and completely become a Fallen Soul Master.

Under such circumstances, he, a suddenly appearing child with Innate Full Soul Power and no parents, perfectly met the conditions to become a pillar supporting Shrek Academy in the future.

While Qiangu Qitian's thoughts ran wild, the door opened. Wang Yan helped an elderly man holding a cane and slightly hunched over into the room. He appeared to be in his twilight years, dressed in plain gray cloth, his entire body looking somewhat frail.

Yet Qiangu Qitian did not dare underestimate him in the slightest, because he truly was Shrek Academy's stabilizing pillar, one of the continent's three Ultimate Douluos—the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En!

Another old man followed behind them. He was obviously somewhat younger than Mu En, but his miserable appearance made him look like a beggar at first glance. His originally white robe had been stained a filthy grayish-brown, with multiple tears across it. As he walked, he ate roast chicken in one hand and drank from a wine gourd in the other.

This man was also a heavyweight figure, the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder—Xuan Zi!

Of course, that was a joke. Though Xuan Zi, a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo with the Godly Taotie Bull, was often unreliable, his strength was currently the greatest in Shrek Academy aside from Mu En.

"Qitian, come and greet Mu En and Xuan Zi!"

Wang Yan waved at Qiangu Qitian and spoke at once.

Before Wang Yan had even finished speaking, Xuan Zi, who had followed them in, flashed over to Qiangu Qitian's side. He directly placed his greasy palm on the boy's shoulder.

The next moment, Qiangu Qitian felt a surge of Soul Power rush into his body!

Under the pressure of that Soul Power, he involuntarily summoned his Martial Soul!

As a dragon's roar rang out, the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul appeared directly in his hand.

"It truly is a super Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power. And just as Wang Yan said, this little fellow's Coiling Dragon Staff contains a Dragon Soul!"

"Little fellow, this old man is right, isn't he?"
