The Sea God Pavilion Meeting Held Again

"Du Weilun, you may return first." After deep contemplation, Yan Shaozhe decided to convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting to reach a decision.

Whether it was the postnatal awakening of a second martial soul or a True Dragon Ultimate martial soul, neither was something he, as the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, could decide on his own.

Once the decision was made, Yan Shaozhe's figure flickered as he headed toward the Sea God Pavilion.

"Shaozhe, speak. What has happened?" Mu En lay at the head of the table and spoke slowly.

In just one year, Yan Shaozhe had already taken the initiative to call for two Sea God Pavilion meetings. The last time was when he discovered Lin Shuo, a genius who only appeared once in ten thousand years. One had to realize that some Sea God Pavilion members might not even propose such a meeting in decades.

Yan Shaozhe stood up respectfully. "Teacher, fellow Elders. Just moments ago, Du Weilun, the Director of the Outer Court's Martial Soul Department, reported that core disciple Huo Yu'er suddenly awakened a second martial soul during her vacation. Furthermore, this second martial soul possesses the True Dragon Ultimate attribute and is named the Water Dragon King. I went to investigate before coming here, and the situation is true. Not daring to make a rash decision, I proposed this meeting."

The Sea God Pavilion fell into a sudden silence. A True Dragon Ultimate attribute. True Dragon martial souls were already extremely rare, let alone one with an Ultimate attribute.

One had to know that in the past ten thousand years, only three Ultimate attribute soul masters had appeared on the entire continent, and every one of them had been a formidable figure who dominated their era.

"Beyond this, according to Huo Yu'er, her second martial soul was awakened due to the influence of Lin Shuo's aura. The Seven-Colored Dragon King and the Water Dragon King—these are two martial souls we have never heard of. I suspect there is some connection between them."

As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, several Elders present wore thoughtful expressions. Xuan Zi, in particular, had been entrusted by Wang Yan to observe Huo Yu'er's Spirit Eye martial soul previously; he had concluded that it lacked the potential for a secondary Body Martial Soul awakening and deemed it unworthy of cultivation. Before this, he had never detected any signs of Huo Yu'er awakening a second martial soul.

Qian Duoduo, sitting at the far end, hesitated for a moment before slowly standing up.

"Fellow Elders, Huo Yu'er had already become Fan Yu's disciple before this. Not only did she become a Level 2 Soul Guidance master in eight months, but the Soul Guidance Department also intends to implement the Ultimate Soldier Plan with her."

Previously, Huo Yu'er only had the Spirit Eye martial soul, and her first soul ring was merely a ten-year ring. Although she was a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department, she wasn't highly valued, and the Soul Guidance Department still had a chance to recruit her.

But now that Huo Yu'er had awakened such a powerful second martial soul, if they didn't speak up now, they would never have another chance.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Qian Duoduo in shock, wanting to lash out, but remembering he was in a Sea God Pavilion meeting, he suppressed his displeasure. "Dean Qian, this is underhanded of you. Huo Yu'er is already a core disciple of my Martial Soul Department; how can you just snatch people away from us?"

Xian Lin'er, sitting beside Qian Duoduo, couldn't sit still any longer. With her temper, she wouldn't swallow such an insult. "Yan Shaozhe, stop making false accusations. Yu'er had already apprenticed under Fan Yu before she was selected as a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department."

"That doesn't matter; she is already a core disciple of my Martial Soul Department, not your Soul Guidance Department," Yan Shaozhe said unhurriedly. The Martial Soul Department's influence at Shrek Academy was inherently stronger than the Soul Guidance Department's, and in this matter, the Martial Soul Department was in the right.

Unable to stand the sight of Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "That is only because the Soul Guidance Department can only choose its core disciples after three years. Pavilion Master, if the Ultimate Soldier Plan cannot be realized through Huo Yu'er, Dean Qian and I are willing to resign."

Elder Lin, Xian Lin'er's mother, who sat at the head of the right side, frowned and stopped her. "Lin'er, don't be unreasonable."

Seeing her mother, Xian Lin'er obediently sat back down.

"There is no need to worry about the origins of these two children. Although we don't know where these two little monsters popped out from, neither of them is ill-intentioned."

Hearing this voice, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo sat down obediently as Mu En continued.

"As for Huo Yu'er's cultivation, since she hasn't fallen behind in either martial soul training or soul tool studies over the past year, let her hold both positions. If she finds she cannot manage both later, she can make her own choice."

Yan Shaozhe wanted to say more, but thinking of Lin Shuo being in the Martial Soul Department, he curled his lips. He had heard some rumors regarding the relationship between these two children.

"Since there are no more issues, let us conclude the meeting."

Seeing that no one had any further questions, Mu En immediately ended the meeting.

"Seven-Colored Dragon King, Water Dragon King, Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King..." Mu En remained alone, lying on his recliner in deep thought.

A True Dragon Ultimate martial soul—the only thing he could think of was the Beast God Di Tian. Could there be a connection between them? And what link did the Seven-Colored Dragon King, capable of using multiple elements, have with these two?

Mu En shook his head. At the very least, he could be certain that both of them were human, and that was enough.

The notification that Huo Yu'er had become a dual core disciple of both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department was quickly delivered to her. However, the lives of the three—Lin Shuo, Huo Yu'er, and Wang Dong'er—remained unchanged.

After Huo Yu'er finished her upgrade assessment for the Soul Guidance Department, Wang Dong'er brought three gold-stamped red papers to Lin Shuo and Huo Yu'er.

"Lin Shuo, Yu'er, look at what I have here."

Lin Shuo took one of the red papers and glanced at it.

"Treasure Appreciation Fair?" Huo Yu'er looked at Wang Dong'er with a puzzled expression.

"This is a Treasure Appreciation Fair for core disciples. As the commercial center of the continent, Shrek City often has some good items circulating through here," Wang Dong'er explained to Huo Yu'er.

"Lin Shuo, Yu'er, this is for tonight's fair. Are you going?" Although Wang Dong'er asked both of them, she only looked at Lin Shuo.

From her time spent with Lin Shuo, she could tell that the items at the academy's fair might not even be as precious as the things Lin Shuo already had in his own possession.

"Let's go take a look. If there's nothing good, we'll just treat it as entertainment," Lin Shuo said in a lazy tone. Hearing his answer, Huo Yu'er nodded in agreement.

After the three finished dinner, they walked toward the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

At the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, four young women in long dresses stood on each side. Seeing this, Wang Dong'er initially wanted to cover Lin Shuo's eyes, but after noting the height difference between them, she silently lowered her hand.

Seeing this, Lin Shuo looked at Wang Dong'er with amusement. "What a child."

Hearing this, Wang Dong'er immediately jumped up. "Lin Shuo, who are you calling a child?"

"Whoever gets worked up is the child." Lin Shuo teased Wang Dong'er as he always did.

Seeing the three arrive at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, one of the eight young women stepped forward. "Are the three soul masters here to attend the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?"

After the three handed over their invitations, the smile on the young woman's face became even softer. "Three soul masters, please follow me." As she spoke, she gestured for them to follow and led the way.
