The Sea God Pavilion Meeting Convened Specifically for Ling Feng

Ling Luocheng brought Ling Feng to the Academic Affairs Office, where they met Du Weilun again.

After briefly explaining their purpose, Du Weilun immediately agreed to Ling Feng's request to live with Ling Luocheng.

He was a genius with an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul; it was only right to give him some special care.

With the matter settled so easily, Ling Feng and Ling Luocheng headed toward the Inner Court in high spirits.

"Come to think of it, wasn't that old man Mu En absent this morning?"

Ling Feng realized it belatedly, but he did not dwell on it.

Not long after the two left, Bei Bei arrived at the registration office with Huo Yuhao.

Using the Tang Sect's exemption quota and after paying the tuition fee, Huo Yuhao successfully completed his enrollment.

"Little Junior Brother, the dormitories are behind the teaching building. That largest building in the academy is where they are."

"I have a lot to deal with after advancing, so I won't accompany you."

Bei Bei and Tang Ya truly had plenty to do. Tang Ya did not even have time to spare, so Bei Bei had come alone to help Huo Yuhao register.

"Understood. Eldest Senior Brother, go ahead and get busy."

Watching Bei Bei leave, Huo Yuhao tried to communicate with Skydream Iceworm.

"Brother Skydream, I've finished registering. That savage beast you mentioned yesterday..."

"Strange." Skydream Iceworm's voice sounded somewhat bewildered. "I can't sense even the slightest trace of its aura anymore."

"Could you have sensed it wrong?"

Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Skydream Iceworm had one hundred and twenty percent confidence in his senses. Otherwise, he could never have survived among that group of savage beasts.

"Maybe it concealed itself again, or perhaps one of the academy's powerful figures discovered it."

"In any case, it's better to be safe than sorry."

"I'm going to sleep for a while. During this time, study properly at the academy. When you break through to your second soul ring, I'll naturally wake up."

"By then, the ice-attribute martial soul I bestowed upon you should also be able to become your primary martial soul. It will bring about a qualitative leap in your strength."

"That's enough. I'm going to sleep..."

Before Huo Yuhao could say anything else, Skydream Iceworm took the initiative to cut off their spiritual communication, leaving Huo Yuhao speechless.

Following Bei Bei's directions, Huo Yuhao entered the dormitory, stopped outside Room 108, and unlocked the door with his key.

"Hello, I'm..."

"Get lost!"

Wang Dong had yet to recover from the blow of losing to Ling Feng. Seeing Huo Yuhao at the door, she snapped at him angrily.

"What kind of person starts cursing the moment they open their mouth?"

"I'm cursing you! If you don't like it, come fight me..."

Wang Dong believed Ling Feng had merely been an accident.

There was no way she would lose to this insignificant little guy in front of her too, right?

A quarter of an hour later.

Wang Dong sat on her bed, staring at Huo Yuhao, who was meditating on the wooden bed across from her, and began to question her life.

"Why?"

"Fine, losing to that guy earlier was one thing, but how did I lose to this Huo Yuhao too?!"

"Is the assault-type build not viable in this version anymore?"

Sea God Island.

There were many buildings on the island, but the tallest and most magnificent of them all was the Sea God Pavilion at its center.

Whenever something major happened at Shrek Academy, a meeting would be held at the Sea God Pavilion. This was also Shrek Academy's highest-level meeting.

Aside from the elders of the Sea God Pavilion's Hall of Worship, only the deans and vice deans of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department were qualified to attend.

Even the deans and vice deans of the two departments could only sit at the lowest seats during Sea God Pavilion meetings, and each possessed only a single vote.

At this moment, ten people sat around an oval conference table in the Sea God Pavilion's meeting hall.

At the head of the table stood a reclining chair.

However, the reclining chair was currently empty.

Yan Shaozhe rose from one of the lowest seats and was just about to speak when a gentle voice rang out in the meeting hall.

"We can begin. Shaozhe, tell us about what you discovered this time."

Yan Shaozhe looked toward the reclining chair. At some unknown point, a person had appeared there, lying back in the chair that had previously been empty.

"Yes, Teacher."

After respectfully bowing toward Mu En, Yan Shaozhe gave a slight bow to the elders before him and said in a deep voice.

"Perhaps everyone present has already received word. Yesterday, Xiao Tao's evil fire flared up and nearly caused a disaster. It was suppressed by Ling Luocheng's ice."

"However, what you may not know is that the key to helping Xiao Tao suppress her evil fire was not Ling Luocheng, but Ling Luocheng's younger brother, Ling Feng!"

"After examination, the evil fire within Xiao Tao will not backlash against her again for at least half a year."

"And after observing him in person, I can confirm that Ling Feng possesses an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul!"

Ultimate Ice!

Upon hearing those two words, everyone present revealed looks of surprise.

Being able to sit in the Sea God Pavilion's meeting room as elders was enough to prove that both their strength and insight stood at the highest level of the present age.

Yet even as powerful as they were, they understood the importance of an ultimate martial soul.

It was a terrifying existence, invincible among those of the same rank and capable of fighting those above its rank!

"Ultimate Ice! No wonder you called an emergency meeting."

Elder Xuan sat at the head of the left side. Even he, who usually never let go of his chicken leg and wine gourd, wore a solemn expression now.

"Does that mean Xiao Tao's evil fire can finally be completely cured?"

Elder Lin, seated on the right with a kind and benevolent appearance, could not help speaking as well, her gentle gaze falling upon Yan Shaozhe.

"If possible, we might as well introduce him to Xiao Tao."

"Xiao Tao's talent is not bad either. If she could have a partner with Ultimate Ice, the flaw in her martial soul would be perfectly resolved."

"In that case, Xiao Tao and Ling Feng would be the ones to take over the positions of us old fellows in the future."

Setting aside the two people involved, Elder Lin's suggestion did make some sense, and quite a few elders nodded in agreement.

"By the way, since Ling Feng is Ling Luocheng's younger brother, why have we never heard Ling Luocheng mention him? Why didn't he come to Shrek to enroll?"

"Because Ling Feng only just turned twelve. He registered yesterday."

Yan Shaozhe explained, then looked awkwardly at Elder Lin.

"As for what Elder Lin suggested, it seems a little too early..."

"What we need to discuss now is Ling Feng's future training plan."

Yan Shaozhe then gave a detailed account of what he had seen in the outer courtyard, as well as the information he had obtained from Ling Luocheng.

"...In short, as the possessor of an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, Ling Feng is perfectly suited in every respect to our Martial Soul Department's upcoming core training program."

After Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, his gaze swept over the elders present.

His meaning could not have been clearer.

The Martial Soul Department was determined to have Ling Feng!

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, the dean and vice dean of the Soul Tool Department, had not spoken from beginning to end.

They simply had no chance to speak!

The Martial Soul Department had discovered him first, and Ling Feng's martial soul did not offer any exceptionally efficient advantage in researching or crafting soul tools. Moreover, he was only twelve years old and perhaps had never even come into contact with soul tool research before this.

How were they supposed to compete for him?

Seeing that the two deans of the Soul Tool Department had remained silent, Yan Shaozhe felt even more certain of securing Ling Feng.

Just then, Mu En, who had been seated at the head of the table all along, slowly spoke.

"Shaozhe, you are mistaken."

"Ling Feng does not merely possess an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul."

"He also has another martial soul—a body martial soul, the Spirit Eyes!"
