Heaven Bless Shrek Academy, Bloodline of the Nine Dragon Kings?

Mu Jin pulled over a chair and carefully explained Gu Chen's background word by word, recounting every detail of the battle, his abilities, and the immense power of Blue Silver Grass without leaving anything out.

A few minutes later, she finished.

Yan Shaozhe could no longer remain calm. He abruptly straightened in his chair and asked in disbelief, "Teacher Mu Jin, is everything you said true?"

Mu Jin nodded.

Yan Shaozhe practically sprang out of his chair, overcome with ecstasy.

Incredible, absolutely incredible!

This was no mere genius. He was a peerless monster, one in ten thousand, perhaps even more terrifying than the ancestor of the Tang Sect.

He had shattered the Tortoise Shell Shield with one punch, knocked Xu Sanshi down with two more, and he was even a Blue Silver Grass soul master.

Wasn't he practically the reincarnation of the Tang Sect's ancestor?

No, he had to go see this child.

No... he should inform Elder Mu first.

Yan Shaozhe immediately looked at Mu Jin and said solemnly, "Teacher Mu Jin, if you have not concealed any facts, then starting this year, you will be promoted to a teaching position in the Inner Court. You will receive the treatment of an Inner Court teacher, and you will personally teach this young man named Gu Chen."

"For such a child to come to Shrek Academy is our academy's honor. Heaven truly favors Shrek Academy."

Mu Jin felt delighted upon hearing this, sighing inwardly that Gu Chen truly was her lucky star.

She had not been promoted for so many years, yet now she could leap straight into the Inner Court. How many people could only dream of such an opportunity?

At that moment, Mu Jin suddenly recalled the academy's conduct issues and said, "When Gu Chen enrolled, he was deliberately obstructed by the registration teacher at the East City Gate. That person seems to be close to Zhou Yi and nearly sent this child away to a rival academy."

Yan Shaozhe's expression immediately turned cold, forming a stark contrast with before.

That registration teacher could not be kept.

Yan Shaozhe said gravely, "I will speak to someone about it shortly. Our academy happens to need a teacher to guard the gate, so from now on, that clueless teacher can go guard it. Zhou Yi will be punished as well, and her year-end bonus will be withheld."

Mu Jin instantly grinned.

Zhou Yi, you finally got what was coming to you!

Immediately afterward, Yan Shaozhe rose to his feet. "I need to tell Elder Mu about this at once and let him make the decision."

"There is no need to summon me. I am already here."

Suddenly, an ancient, distant voice sounded. A white-haired elder leaning on a cane walked in.

"Elder Mu!"

Yan Shaozhe and Mu Jin immediately bowed respectfully.

Mu En waved a hand and said solemnly, "I have already met that child. He is indeed a Blue Silver Grass soul master, but his origins are far too mysterious. He possesses a supreme Dragon Clan bloodline and may very well be descended from one of the Nine Dragon Kings."

"The moment I saw him, I sensed bloodline suppression. It was suppression from a higher Dragon Clan bloodline. If my guess is correct, Gu Chen's bloodline is, at the very least, that of one of the Nine Dragon Kings."

Yan Shaozhe and Mu Jin instantly froze upon hearing this.

The Nine Dragon Kings?

They had only heard of the Dragon Clan in legends, and the Nine Dragon Kings existed only in written records. If not for the Beast God Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest, they would not have believed that the Nine Dragon Kings truly existed.

Yan Shaozhe immediately asked, "Elder Mu, could he be a spy sent by the Sun Moon Empire?"

Mu En was amused. "If he truly is a gift sent by the Sun Moon Empire, then Shrek Academy will gladly accept him."

"However, this matter requires a Sea God's Pavilion meeting to discuss our response. Shaozhe, come with me."

Yan Shaozhe respectfully cupped his hands and bowed. "Yes."

Beneath Sea God's Pavilion, inside the meeting room.

This was the place that symbolized Shrek Academy's highest authority, where meetings were held only when major decisions had to be made. Normally, there was scarcely anyone here.

At this moment, several elders sat on both sides of the conference table. Even Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe could only sit near the end.

Elder Lin, Elder Zhuang, Elder Song, Elder Xuan, and the others all had greater seniority than them.

Qian Duoduo sat at the very end.

Mu En sat at the head of the table. Only after everyone had arrived did he open his eyes.

"Elder Mu, why have you suddenly gathered the elders for a Sea God's Pavilion meeting? Is there something you wish to instruct us on?"

A plump and beautiful middle-aged woman seated near the front spoke up.

She was Elder Song, Xian Lin'er's mother, a Rank 97 Super Douluo and one of Shrek Academy's pillars.

Elder Lin, Elder Zhuang, and the others were equally puzzled.

This meeting had come far too suddenly, like a tornado.

Mu En turned to Yan Shaozhe and said mildly, "Shaozhe, tell everyone what happened. I will explain the final key point. I am old now and cannot move about much. Even speaking is tiring."

Yan Shaozhe nodded respectfully. Then he stood, picked up Gu Chen's file, and said seriously, "These past few days have been the final days of new student enrollment, but a Blue Silver Grass soul master came to our academy. He is twelve years old and possesses only Rank 13 soul power."

"From every perspective, this youth does not meet our admission standards. However, he suddenly proposed challenging a student for admission. Teacher Mu Jin happened to pass by and agreed to his request."

"Afterward, Xu Sanshi, the strongest student in our Outer Court, accepted the challenge and was defeated by him in just a few exchanges, struck down with merely a few punches and kicks."

"During the battle, the youth displayed tyrannical bloodline power and the ability to control elements. He also used Blue Silver Grass-exclusive soul skills and has now enrolled in the academy."

After hearing Yan Shaozhe's account, all the elders felt their minds buzzing.

For Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo of the Soul Guidance Department, it felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Another monster had joined the Martial Soul Department.

A one-ring soul master beating down a three-ring soul master—was that even human? Wasn't he a humanoid tyrannosaur?

Blue Silver Grass possessed powerful bloodline strength, could manipulate elements, and even had exclusive soul skills; this was simply underhanded beyond measure.

The elders' understanding of the world was shattered at that moment.

Beside them, Xian Lin'er frowned and asked, "If he is such a terrifying genius, why does he possess only Rank 13 soul power at twelve years old? What are his origins? Which junior soul master academy did he attend?"

Yan Shaozhe shook his head. "The youth did not mention his origins, and there is no way to trace his background. He is also not registered as a soul master in any of the three great empires. According to his own account, his parents guided him here to Shrek Academy."

This made the elders even more suspicious.

Could he be an evil soul master?

Or perhaps someone from the Sun Moon Empire?

But if the Sun Moon Empire or evil soul masters had sent such a terrifying monster to Shrek Academy, then they must have lost their minds.

At this moment, Elder Song said, "Elder Mu, did you convene this meeting because you have already decided to keep him?"

All the elders turned in unison toward Elder Mu at the head of the table, awaiting his answer.

Mu En slowly rose. "Shaozhe has finished, correct? Then it is my turn."

"When that child arrived at the dormitory earlier, my Radiant Saint Dragon Martial Soul experienced fear for the first time. It even showed signs of shattering."

"Later, I examined Xu Sanshi's injuries and discovered that his spine had nearly been broken. His Blackwater Xuanwu Martial Soul had been sealed, and for the time being, he could not even summon his Martial Soul."

"After careful consideration, I reached a conclusion."

"This child's bloodline originates from at least one Dragon King. Furthermore, it is likely the bloodline of a dual-bloodline Dragon King, one that at minimum holds authority over the elements and power. However, Shrek Academy has no records regarding the abilities of the Nine Dragon Kings, so I cannot determine which Dragon King's bloodline it is for now."

A Dragon King?

One of the Nine Dragon Kings?

Now it was the elders' turn to be dumbfounded. The strongest Martial Souls they had ever seen were the Six-Winged Angel and the Clear Sky Hammer. They had never encountered a Martial Soul like one of the Nine Dragon Kings.

Elder Mu's Radiant Saint Dragon and Long Xiaoyao's Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul were already the pinnacle of Dragon Clan Martial Souls. How powerful, then, would a Dragon King Martial Soul be?

No one knew, and no one dared imagine it.

This youth was likely the most terrifying monster to emerge in ten thousand years. Other than his low soul power rank, he had virtually no weaknesses.

At this moment, Xian Lin'er pressed, "Elder Mu, is Shrek Academy going to keep him?"

Mu En nodded and said seriously, "If we cultivate him well, Shrek Academy may prosper for another thousand years. If I am not mistaken, this child's bloodline may very well originate from that place."

"When I was young, I once explored a ruin. It was littered with Dragon Clan corpses, and there was bloodline power there that filled me with fear. At the time, I was too weak to venture deeper. I never returned to that place afterward."

"Today's Sea God's Pavilion meeting was convened to ask for everyone's opinion on this child. Is he worth investing our resources into cultivating?"
