Elder Gong: Why Not Leave It Behind to Breed?

"Teacher, I am at most three months away from breaking through to Rank 50. I hope to go to the Golden Ancient Tree after reaching Rank 50."

"During this training expedition, I found a Soul Beast exceptionally suitable for me. If I absorb its Soul Ring, I am confident I can directly elevate my strength attribute to its ultimate limit!"

The moment Qiangu Qitian finished speaking, every Title Douluo present changed expression. Mu En's gaze sharpened as he sucked in a breath.

Ultimate strength—this was a realm no one in the Soul Master world had ever reached. Even the Clear Sky Hammer, hailed as the greatest weapon Martial Soul in the world, was far from ultimate strength.

With Qiangu Qitian's explosive power, if his strength reached its ultimate limit, just how terrifying would his attack power become?

Though Mu En still appeared relatively calm on the surface, a raging storm had already been stirred within his heart.

Ever since taking Qiangu Qitian as his disciple, he had been shocked to the point of complete numbness.

At first, he had believed this disciple's limit would be Rank 97. Then he thought it would be at least Rank 98. Now, he even suspected that his disciple might be able to pursue that illusory realm of gods!

Ultimate strength—even Mu En had only heard of it in connection with certain elusive Soul Beasts.

"Brat, what kind of Soul Beast could make you feel that absorbing its Soul Ring would transform your strength attribute? Could it be the Golden Dragon, the legendary ancestor of strength?"

"Tell us quickly. When the time comes, I'll personally accompany you to hunt it..."

Xuanzi had even stopped eating his chicken leg. Interest appeared on his aged face.

Hm, you want to personally accompany me to obtain my Soul Ring?

Qiangu Qitian's expression changed. The last sacrifice had failed, so was this going to be a second attempt at sacrificing him?

That damned Holy Spirit Cult Supreme Elder! You had truly gone to great lengths just to sacrifice me!

"That's enough, Xuanzi..."

"If anyone goes, it will be me personally. Qitian is my disciple."

Mu En shook his head. He knew Xuanzi's unreliable nature all too well. In the past, he had had no choice but to use Xuanzi, but now, Xuanzi could just obediently serve as muscle.

"Little Qitian, what kind of Soul Beast is it? Is it truly the Golden Dragon, the ancestor of strength?"

A forty-five-year-old middle-aged man standing behind the Title Douluos eagerly squeezed his way forward. Rubbing his hands together, he kept staring at Qiangu Qitian as he asked curiously.

His name was Gong Changlong. Titled Beast King, he was the administrator of the Shrek Beast Arena and had devoted his entire life to researching Soul Beasts.

If it really was a Golden Dragon, he truly wanted to find a draconic creature and test whether they could breed.

"Little Gong, how could it be a Golden Dragon? If it truly were one, how could Di Tian allow such a bloodline to wander outside?"

Di Tian's true form was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King. A super ferocious beast with a cultivation exceeding eight hundred thousand years, he was one of the continent's most formidable existences.

Though Mu En had now recovered his combat strength, there was still a certain gap between him and Di Tian.

"Elder Gong, the Soul Beast I encountered was indeed not a Golden Dragon, but another Soul Beast that possessed ultimate strength. It is called the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff!"

Qiangu Qitian shook his head slightly and recounted everything about his encounter with the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.

Upon hearing this, Mu En immediately nodded.

This matter could not be delayed. Since Qiangu Qitian had sensed it, they needed to bring that Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff back as soon as possible.

Only then would it be safer. If someone killed the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff right before Qiangu Qitian broke through to Rank 50, then all of Shrek would have nowhere to cry.

"Xiao Song, Shao Zhe, I will personally make a trip to the Rosen Mountains and bring that Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff back. While I am away, watch over the academy."

Qiangu Qitian immediately revealed a delighted smile. If an ordinary Title Douluo, or even a Super Douluo, went, they might not necessarily be able to capture that Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff. After all, purely in terms of raw power, a Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff of at least thirty thousand years would possess absolutely terrifying combat strength.

But the one going now was his teacher, so there would be no problem at all. The strongest of the continent's three Ultimate Douluos was not a title earned in jest.

That was right. In Qiangu Qitian's view, Mu En's pure strength definitely surpassed Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.

"Elder Mu, rest assured!"

"With Shao Zhe and me here, nothing will happen to Shrek."

Elder Mu had already instructed Xuanzi to enter seclusion. Thus, during Mu En's absence from Shrek Academy, the person taking charge of the academy would naturally be Elder Song, the third-ranking figure of the Sea God Pavilion!

As for Yan Shaozhe, he was merely there to assist Elder Song in managing the academy.

Mu En was quite reassured by Xiao Song. He nodded, then shot into the sky and vanished from everyone's sight.

After Elder Mu left, everyone departed as well. Elder Xuan left with a dejected and conflicted expression.

He was preparing to enter seclusion. If he truly could not break through, then he could only follow his martial uncle's advice and find a woman he liked to leave behind his bloodline.

There was no helping it. He could not win in a fight, and at his age, could he really let his martial uncle hold him down and make him breed?

After all the Title Douluos had left, Qiangu Qitian also planned to return to his room on Sea God Island to cultivate.

But just as he entered cultivation, he sensed a familiar aura approaching.

When he opened the door, he saw Zhang Lexuan in a white dress.

"Big Sister Lexuan..."

Qiangu Qitian took the initiative to hold Zhang Lexuan's hand and directly led her into his room.

Only after Qiangu Qitian told her certain things did she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Then, the two fell silent for a moment, and the room filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

As a man, Qiangu Qitian naturally took the initiative.

Soon, under his advances, Zhang Lexuan shyly closed her beautiful eyes.

Qiangu Qitian also took the initiative to press his lips against hers.

His height had long since exceeded one hundred eighty centimeters. Zhang Lexuan was also tall, but only a little over one hundred seventy centimeters.

So even when Zhang Lexuan sat in Qiangu Qitian's lap, it did not feel particularly awkward.

"Big Sister Lexuan, when I was training outside, I missed you so much..."

Qiangu Qitian held Zhang Lexuan and gently rubbed his cheek against hers, speaking the simplest words of love.

Zhang Lexuan's cheeks reddened slightly, but she did not stop Qiangu Qitian's actions in the slightest. Years of spending time together had long filled her heart with affection for him.

Furthermore, Qiangu Qitian had spent nearly a year in the Outer Academy, leaving them with few opportunities to meet. Now that they finally had a chance to be alone together, she naturally would not refuse him.

"I... I missed you too..."

"But I seem to have heard that you helped a girl named Jiang Nannan and even gave her a Soul Bone. You've never even given me a gift?"

"Hm?"

"Big Sister Lexuan, that's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding. Jiang Nannan is a genius I recruited for the academy. With you, how could I possibly be interested in her? You know me—I'm not interested in girls younger than me."

"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm old?"

"Big Sister Lexuan..."

"I was only teasing you..."
