Ultimate Attribute

"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan!" While everyone was exchanging greetings, Wang Yan squeezed into the crowd with an excited expression.

"Haha, Teacher Wang—"

Lu Yuan was just about to greet Wang Yan when he was directly interrupted. Wang Yan grabbed Lu Yuan's hand and asked excitedly, "Lu Yuan, is your Martial Soul a Light Elemental? And I don't think you're merely a Light Elemental. What you control is Ultimate Light!"

"Teacher Wang, you're right. My Martial Soul is indeed a Light Elemental." Lu Yuan had nothing to hide in response to Wang Yan's question. It was only information about his Martial Soul, and they were all so familiar with one another. Everyone would find out sooner or later.

"I knew it, I knew it!!!"

The usually composed Wang Yan seemed somewhat out of control at this moment. When Lu Yuan revealed one yellow and two purple soul rings without displaying any Beast Martial Soul Possession or Tool Martial Soul manifestation, the well-read Wang Yan had already formed a guess.

Elemental Envoy Martial Souls were rare elemental Martial Souls. Their possessors were naturally favored by one or several elements and also possessed extraordinary talent for spiritual power cultivation.

"Ultimate Martial Soul, an Ultimate Martial Soul," Wang Yan stammered excitedly after receiving the answer. "Do you know that your Martial Soul is very likely an Ultimate Martial Soul with the Ultimate Light attribute?"

"Cough, cough, Teacher Wang, calm down!"

Lu Yuan lightly patted Wang Yan's shoulder, signaling for him to settle down.

Brother Wang, we may be close, but there are some things I absolutely won't do!

Jokes aside, Lu Yuan also knew that Wang Yan's research obsession had kicked in. How could Wang Yan not be excited when faced with such an exceedingly rare Elemental Envoy Martial Soul, one that even possessed an Ultimate Attribute?

"Teacher Wang, what is an Ultimate Martial Soul?" On the other side, the ever-curious Xiao Xiao also asked Wang Yan her question.

"An Ultimate Martial Soul is..." Having been reminded, Wang Yan realized he had lost his composure. After adjusting himself slightly, he began explaining the knowledge of Ultimate Attributes to everyone. Still, his occasional stammer and faintly trembling voice revealed the unrest in his heart.

Ever since the first Soul Master awakened a Martial Soul, the varieties of Martial Souls on the Douluo Continent had been as vast as the stars in the sky, too numerous to count. As time passed and Martial Soul theory developed, certain particularly powerful Martial Souls came to be defined as Super Martial Souls.

For instance, Beast Martial Souls with exceptionally powerful bloodlines such as True Dragons and phoenixes, Tool Martial Souls with the potential to become divine artifacts, twice-awakened Body Martial Souls, and so on. Ultimate Martial Souls were also among them.

The reason Ultimate Martial Souls could be called Super Martial Souls lay in the word "ultimate."

Next, to make things easier for everyone to understand, Wang Yan gave several detailed examples.

"Ultimate Martial Souls can take many forms and can belong to any attribute. But regardless of the attribute, how could reaching the ultimate be easy? Even the slightest difference means it is no longer ultimate. You've all seen Wu Feng's Fire Dragon Martial Soul, right? Among fire-attribute Martial Souls, her Fire Dragon Martial Soul is already an exceptionally high-level existence. Yet her fire is still not Ultimate Fire, and there is still quite a considerable gap between it and Ultimate Fire. Therefore, we generally call her Fire Dragon Martial Soul a Fire-Dragon Variant, rather than a True Fire Dragon. If a genuine Fire Dragon appeared, it would leave a thousand miles of land scorched red."

"Furthermore, Ultimate Martial Souls are exceedingly rare. Among the statues at our academy's entrance, the first generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters was so powerful, yet not one of them—including Tang San, the ancestor who founded your Tang Sect—possessed an Ultimate Attribute. Over our academy's ten-thousand-year history, Ultimate Attributes have only appeared three times: Ultimate Wind, Ultimate Fire, and Ultimate Wood. The possessors of those three Ultimate Attributes all became famous across the continent in their time. The most renowned among them was the possessor of Ultimate Fire. Under his leadership, the three nations originally belonging to the Douluo Continent finally defeated the Sun Moon Empire. He later established a powerful clan, but while his descendants inherited his Martial Soul, they lost the word 'ultimate.'"

Speaking of Shrek's past glory, Wang Yan became impassioned, filled with pride.

"Eh? Teacher Wang, I can understand Martial Souls like Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice. Fire can scorch a thousand miles of land, while ice brings freezing temperatures. But what is the basis for saying Brother Yuan's Martial Soul possesses Ultimate Light?" The diligent student Huo Yuhao had keenly noticed the definition of Ultimate Martial Souls. Then, thinking of his roommate, he hurriedly added, "Teacher Wang, my roommate Wang Dong's Martial Soul is the Light Goddess Butterfly, and her talent is also very strong. Could she also possess Ultimate Light?"

"Uh..." Huo Yuhao's sharp observation made Wang Yan, as a teacher, very gratified. However, such a direct question made Wang Yan put on an awkward yet polite smile.

Although the Light Goddess Butterfly was also a powerful Martial Soul, compared with an Ultimate Martial Soul, Wang Yan could only say: don't even try to compare them.

I said Ultimate Martial Souls are badass!!!

Moreover, Wang Yan, who knew the details of the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul, looked at the pink-and-blue-haired boy before him—uh, girl—and found her little hobby rather hard to process.

Still, as a teacher, he dutifully began explaining it to Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, that's a very good question. Elements such as fire and ice are easy to judge; they are simply high temperatures or low temperatures." After speaking, he paused. "Ever since Ultimate Attributes first appeared at Shrek Academy, we have never stopped researching the various Ultimate Attributes. And now, the academy also has two extremely powerful light-attribute Soul Masters."

"Finally, with their cooperation, we arrived at a definition for Ultimate Light—it is purity!"

"Purity?" Upon hearing the answer, several of them tilted their heads. Wang Dong, whose Martial Soul was the Light Goddess Butterfly, felt it even more keenly, as though she had vaguely grasped something.

"That's right, purity!" Wang Yan did not keep them in suspense and continued his explanation.

With three Ultimate Soul Masters already having appeared in Shrek's history, and with Mu En, a Light Saint Dragon Limit Douluo, and Yan Shaozhe, a Radiant Phoenix Super Douluo, both alive in the present day, their Martial Souls were also exceptionally powerful Beast Martial Souls. Naturally, the academy hoped they could take another step forward and achieve an Ultimate Attribute!

However, although both of their cultivation levels surpassed their peers and even the entire continent, neither could be considered Ultimate Light. Mu En had given the specific reason: they were not pure enough.

As Xuan Zi's disciple's grandson and Shrek's future reserve elder in theoretical research, Wang Yan naturally knew many of the academy's secrets.
