Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire

Weak—far too weak. His Soul Power Level was low, his physical constitution was poor, and he looked utterly ordinary, without a single distinguishing feature.

If Huo Yuhao had previously possessed the foundation of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as a Million Year Soul Ring and the potential to become a god, then what about this boy?

However, Brother Sky Dream had made up his mind to stand with Lin You. No matter what, he would not shortchange him, so he explained directly, "Mu En, it seems your judgment still falls short. This kid Lin You possesses an Air Martial Soul with tremendous potential. Though he may be weak at present, he will be able to possess both Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire in the future—Dual Ultimate Attributes. In terms of potential, no one in Shrek Academy can surpass him."

"Oh?"

Mu En's expression turned serious. Ultimate attributes were rare even among Soul Masters over the past ten thousand years, let alone two utterly opposing and conflicting ultimate attributes.

This simply defied all common sense!

Yet even he knew that common sense was meant to be broken by geniuses. How many Soul Masters in history had been hailed as the strongest in a thousand years, like him—a Limit Douluo with three red Soul Rings?

"In that case, I can agree to this condition on behalf of Shrek Academy. But I must make one thing clear: Shrek Academy has never forced anyone to do anything. This child's path, as well as Lin You's, will ultimately depend on themselves." A glint flashed through Mu En's eyes.

"Of course. True powerhouses always rise amid adversity. I understand Shrek Academy's traditions well enough. All we seek is a fair stage for competition from the academy, as well as a helping hand when they encounter difficulties they cannot overcome. As for how far they can go, that will depend entirely on their own effort and talent." Brother Sky Dream nodded gently in understanding.

As the two sides reached a consensus, an invisible mutual understanding spread through the air.

Mu En lightly tapped the armrest, signaling for Huo Yuhao and Lin You to step forward.

Under Mu En's watchful gaze, the two slowly entered the Dormitory Area.

Should I investigate the Far North?

The smile on Mu En's face gradually faded. He lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and ultimately abandoned the idea.

That Million Year Soul Beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, had dared to come before him and propose cooperation. With its Spiritual Power, it could easily sweep through Shrek Academy. It likely knew about the Sea God Pavilion as well, yet it had still come, clearly confident in its position.

Besides, he had already seen that these two children were not transformed Soul Beasts, but pure humans. No matter how he looked at it, this plan held no disadvantages for him or Shrek Academy. If anything, they had struck gold.

"The God-Making Plan... compared to this, the Ultimate Individual Soldier Plan truly is child's play. To think Soul Beasts possess such ambition as well. I really have underestimated the heroes of the world, haha."

Chuckling softly, Mu En bathed in the sunlight. It was as though a tremendous burden had been lifted from his shoulders. His entire person seemed to light up, radiating a brilliant glow.

When they arrived before Dormitory 103, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice echoed in their minds as it breathed a sigh of relief. "Whew~ That scared me to death. I didn't expect I'd actually manage to bluff my way through it. Hehe, my racial Soul Skill is Simulation! Imitating that presence at the core was easy as pie!"

"Brother Sky Dream?" The little girl tilted her head in confusion, unable to understand.

"It actually has no ability to contend with that old man. That imposing manner earlier was nothing more than a bluff." Lin You understood its thoughts well and could not help explaining.

"Sigh, Xiao Linzi really gets it right away. I almost want to become your Soul Ring, but sadly, that's all I can do—think about it." Brother Sky Dream's smug voice echoed out, clearly delighted.

However, its reason for being happy differed from theirs. As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had experienced everything in its previous life, it knew very well that Xiao Yuhao's first year had not been easy. It could even be called grueling and agonizing.

Whether it was running training, the New Student Assessment Tournament, or those snobbish teachers, nearly every time, he had been looked down upon, treated as weak, and had what little dignity he possessed trampled beneath others' feet.

From Wu Feng provoking him into battle, to everyone receiving Core Disciple treatment except Xiao Yuhao, even being forced to rename an entire team the Wang Dong Team—Brother Sky Dream truly felt it was unfair to Xiao Yuhao. It had even wondered what a glorious scene it would be if, after being expelled in Second Grade because he lacked the Soul Tool Department Core Disciple privileges...

No matter what, Xiao Yuhao could always go to the Body Sect. If Shrek did not want him, then they were blind!

But now, things were different. Completely different.

Before school had even started, it had already changed history, transforming the little fellow who had once been looked down on everywhere into the sole executor of the God-Making Plan.

They had persuaded the master of the Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy's hidden powerhouse, Mu En. It was equivalent to gaining the strongest possible backing. If students truly targeted them or teachers oppressed them, it could confidently go find Mu En and demand, "Do you not want this job anymore?"

Naturally, all of this was thanks to that man.

For a moment, Brother Sky Dream's gaze toward Lin You became incomparably gentle. Originally, it had planned to slowly follow the plot of its previous life all over again, which would have been safer. But with the situation so unpredictable, it was better to gain strength as early as possible. Otherwise, why deliberately take beatings in the early stages?

"Ah? So, Brother Sky Dream, you weren't that old man's match after all? Then why were you putting on such an act?" Huo Yuhao raised her brows in surprise. The big bug in her Sea of Consciousness that did nothing but sleep seemed unexpectedly bold.

"Isn't that obvious? If I had the strength to contend with Mu En, I wouldn't have been eaten for ten thousand years. Hahaha! Yuhao, cultivate properly. I'm going to sleep first. Once you reach Level 20, I'll take you to the Far North to get the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul!" Brother Sky Dream's laughter gradually faded away. Yet unnoticed by anyone, the Gray Pearl in the Sea of Consciousness shifted slightly.

Vaguely, an aged voice slowly rang out, as though speaking to itself, yet also as though recounting something. "What dense light energy. I never expected there to be someone in this world whose cultivation is close to mine."

Gray. In that instant, Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness turned gray, while the Gray Pearl that had lain dormant in her mind all this time vanished.

Ten clusters of golden light lit up almost simultaneously, and Brother Sky Dream's clear voice immediately emerged. "Old fellow, you've finally awakened. You slept all the way until now and made me wait so painfully."

"Oh? Little bug, why were you waiting for this old man?" The aged voice carried no emotion and remained utterly calm.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was deeply moved for a moment. In its previous life, it had constantly bickered with Electrolux and never won. Yet now, it could sense that the other's personality was actually quite easy to get along with. It had simply been too stubborn back then, insisting on competing with him and determining who was better.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to see who had moved in and whether you would harm Yuhao."

"Eek, eek, eek? What's going on?" In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao found herself within her Sea of Consciousness. Looking at the ten clusters of golden light and the drifting wisps of gray mist before her, she was utterly shocked and had no idea what was happening.

When facing Huo Yuhao, the aged voice became noticeably gentler. "Little girl, I originally should not belong to this world. I only remember that I seemed to be dying at the time, but perhaps because my soul power was too strong, at the moment of death, I broke through space and left behind this wisp of Divine Sense, which then arrived in your world.

"At that time, that big bug happened to be merging with you, producing an intense energy fluctuation that drew me here as well. Thus, this wisp of my Divine Sense took up residence in your Sea of Consciousness. Do not worry, I bear you no ill will. I likely will not be able to leave this place in the future either."
