"Hehe, I believe you. I believe all of it." Mu En chuckled, practically wearing an expression that said, I'll just quietly watch you bullshit.

Right, this old man had definitely gotten the wrong idea.

What did he believe? These days, even telling the truth got people maliciously misinterpreting it?

"So, Old Master, does that mean you agree? Should I move up there right now?" Lin You could not be bothered to argue. Instead, he seized the opening and pressed his advantage.

Mu En's wrinkled, aged eyelids lifted slightly. His meaningful gaze swept over Lin You, and he was so irritated he nearly laughed, letting out a dry, hoarse chuckle.

Good boy. You wanted to live in the girls' dormitory upstairs, and you actually dared say that right in front of me.

This was no longer ordinary disregard for the Dormitory Building rules. This was a villain trampling Shrek Academy's rules beneath his feet. He had to be dealt with severely.

"You can try, if you like. When every senior sister in the Outer Academy joins forces to beat you up and drive you downstairs, and there isn't even a dorm room left for you below, don't blame me for not warning you. Hehehehe."

The ancient Dragon God Douluo suddenly felt several years younger. Watching the youth before him entertain such unrealistic fantasies had even made him laugh in a way he had not for years.

Youth. Youth was wonderful—full of vitality, ambition soaring to the heavens, and even bold enough to lust after the impossible. Hahaha.

What Mu En had not expected, however, was that Lin You did not shrink back before such a pointed warning. Instead, his eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"Old Master, are you saying that as long as I'm confident I can stand up to the senior sisters upstairs, I can live in the girls' dormitory?" Lin You was suddenly in a playful mood. He liked having fun, and now that he had such a powerful Martial Soul, he naturally had to make good use of it. Otherwise, would all those grueling nights of cultivation not have been wasted?

Gah! Taking down the entire damn Outer Academy senior sister population all by himself!

If he had enrolled without any backing, he would definitely have tucked his tail between his legs, played meek, and kept out of trouble, fully inheriting the true teachings of the turtle. But now, the entire Sea God Pavilion stood behind him. What was there to fear? The more outstanding his performance, the more resources Shrek's upper ranks would provide.

Seeing how excited, delighted, and animated the boy was, Mu En could not help but think more highly of him.

Did this boy have some sort of confidence?

He recalled what that mysterious Million Year Soul Beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, had said earlier—that Lin You possessed the potential for Dual Ultimate Attributes—and fell into thought. Merely that, however, probably would not be enough to let someone who had just entered Shrek defeat opponents five or six grades above him.

If that little girl had said such a thing, Mu En might have thought it somewhat possible. After all, not only did she have a Million Year Intelligence Soul Ring assisting her, but her Spiritual Power was so formidable it was practically inhuman, surpassing every student in the Outer Academy. It was unbelievably strong. Spiritual Power of that intensity alone was enough to compensate for many disadvantages in physical condition.

After all, the upper-year students of the Outer Academy were merely Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder level experts. Their physical condition far surpassed that little girl's, but their Spiritual Power was weaker by more than a level.

But what did this boy have that gave him the nerve to make such wild claims? Mu En was deeply curious.

He believed the boy was not speaking without basis. From Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's attitude earlier, he had vaguely sensed that it also placed great importance on this boy, no less than on that little girl.

Seemingly sensing the curiosity in Mu En's eyes, Lin You cleared his throat, grinned, and said, "Hehe, Old Master, you know my Martial Soul is air, right?"

"So, I can control the Oxygen Element in the air within a certain range, strip it all away, and create a large oxygen-free zone. Whether humans or soul beasts, once they lose oxygen and cannot breathe, they'll faint in at most three minutes and die in five."

"The senior sisters definitely won't just stand there and wait to die, so they'll have to run downstairs. Once no one is upstairs, I can move in. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Lin You casually summoned his Martial Soul Possession, intending to demonstrate it on the spot.

As an orange-yellow soul ring flashed and spun around him, Mu En realized that the boy was serious. Though the idea sounded strange, it was unexpectedly reasonable.

If I can't deal with the senior sisters, can't I deal with the air they need?

It was like being unable to win the lane, but the enemy's defensive tower could not run away.

Martial Soul: Periodic Table Possession.

A pale gray light screen appeared in Lin You's hand. It was illusory and transparent, giving off a glow that rose and fell like breathing.

Upon that gray light screen, two crystalline points of light adorned its surface, shining with an intoxicating brilliance.

The light screen flashed and vanished, but after giving Lin You a long look, Mu En fell into contemplation.

An Air Martial Soul?

You said it seriously, so I listened seriously.

"I can not only disperse oxygen, but also purify it. Here, take a breath of Pure Oxygen. This stuff is strong!"

Like he was presenting a treasure, Lin You lightly raised his palm and slowly drifted it toward Mu En.

Producing Pure Oxygen was not difficult for him.

The Oxygen Element was a diatomic molecule made up of two oxygen atoms. The two oxygen atoms formed a covalent bond by sharing electron pairs, creating a stable molecular structure.

Therefore, when Lin You arranged the disorderly Oxygen Elements in the air together, he created high-concentration Pure Oxygen.

Driven by curiosity, Mu En gently flared his nostrils and took a faint sniff. Instantly, his pupils widened!

What smooth breathing!

The air was incomparably fresh, even carrying a faint sweetness. After only one breath, Mu En clearly felt his mind grow much more invigorated. His scalp tingled, and his somewhat aged, stiff body seemed to become more limber.

Moreover, beyond that obvious mental refreshment, Mu En, as Shrek Academy's strongest figure and a Limit Douluo, could sense even more. The sharpness of his five senses and the vigor of his Spiritual Power had both increased slightly.

One had to understand that at his strength, standing at the pinnacle of the world, even the slightest improvement was an extraordinarily remarkable effect!

After quietly taking a moment to recover, Mu En felt that one breath was insufficient for an accurate comparison, so he took two more breaths in succession. His whole mental state immediately took on a new appearance. He became far more energetic, his aged demeanor completely gone, while his eyes shone brightly.

Pure Oxygen helped improve concentration, reaction speed, and memory. It could accelerate blood circulation, make one feel full of energy, expand the lungs' absorption efficiency, help raise the body's overall energy levels, and make one's perception of the surroundings sharper. These all-around improvements were too marvelous to describe in words!

The Dragon God Douluo accurately made a comprehensive assessment of the changes that had appeared in his body.

This was practically another secret technique for comprehensively improving one's physical condition. If one encountered a Mental Shock or became utterly exhausted, taking a few breaths of the Pure Oxygen this boy spoke of would probably provide great relief!

For a moment, an indescribable heat had appeared in Mu En's gaze as he looked at Lin You.
