"There are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens."
Mu En slowly spoke, his tone calm.
"It is not impossible for someone stronger than Di Tian to appear."
"And do not worry, no matter how strong they are, they are still only Limit Douluo."
"We of Shrek have nothing to fear."
With Mu En's words, the hanging hearts of everyone finally dropped.
With Mu En, this stabilizing pillar, speaking up, their Shrek could finally rest easy.
A Limit Douluo was the pinnacle of this world.
And Mu En himself was a Limit Douluo.
Lin Chen, however, sneered in his heart.
A Limit Douluo?
Was the Silver Dragon King really only a Limit Douluo?
Even if she was only a Limit Douluo, did you people match up to her?
It remained to be seen whether you could even fight a Limit Douluo.
Lin Chen finally understood why those big shots would burst into laughter for no reason.
When you heard this, could you hold back from laughing?
Anyone who could keep a straight face through this had the composure of a lifetime.
The criticism the Silver Dragon King received the most was about her astonishing lack of intelligence.
Yet no one ever criticized her strength.
Are you kidding me? The half-body of the Dragon God, even if cut down to a dog, was still divine-grade.
She could toy with everyone on the Douluo Continent as if it were a game.
If not for the fact that she was an idiot who severed herself countless times,
the soul beasts would have unified the world long ago. What business would soul masters have had then?
However, this Mu En was also quite interesting.
Even though he already knew seven or eight out of ten, he still came to ask about it.
Lin Chen should have thought of it sooner.
How could Mu En possibly let Bei Bei go alone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts?
There must have been powerhouses protecting him from the shadows.
What a pity.
That great battle between Madara and Di Tian scared Mu En's arranged people out of their wits, making them not dare to get close.
Otherwise, they really would have discovered their secret.
Still, it could be considered saving a petty little life.
As long as he dared to approach, it would have been a matter of a single glance from Madara Uchiha.
A single glance could have stared him to death.
Now that Lin Chen's situation had been understood clearly,
Mu En turned his attention to Tang Ya.
He looked at Tang Ya, his tone softening a fraction.
"Child, release your martial soul and let me see."
"Martial soul, soul ring, and aura-do not hold anything back."
"Rest assured, the Tang Sect and Shrek share an origin."
"No matter what, we will never harm you."
"Even if your martial soul is an evil martial soul, we will not harbor any ill intentions toward you."
"On this, I, Mu En, can swear upon my soul."
With Mu En's words, everyone was shocked.
Swearing upon his soul.
This oath was truly heavy enough.
On the Douluo Continent, a soul oath was the most solemn vow. Once violated, one would suffer soul annihilation and eternal damnation.
For a Limit Douluo to swear upon his soul-one could imagine the weight of this.
Tang Ya was also somewhat moved.
She looked at Lin Chen, and Lin Chen nodded slightly.
Then she complied one by one.
Anyway, her posture was upright and she feared no shadows.
Thus, Tang Ya immediately summoned her martial soul.
Her soul ring.
And her soul power.
Her martial soul was indeed the Blue Silver Grass.
At this moment, however, it had transformed into the Nine-Headed Blue Silver Dragon Grass.
Nine huge Blue Silver Vines surged into the sky from behind Tang Ya, each as thick as a water vat. Scales covered the vines densely, and at their tips were striking, ferocious dragon heads.
Fangs protruded and dragon whiskers fluttered. All nine dragon heads opened their eyes simultaneously, and dragon might swept outward like a tide.
The air in the entire hall froze at that instant.
Feeling the terrifying dragon might emanating from Tang Ya's martial soul, even Mu En's expression changed.
"Your martial soul absorbed the dragon blood of Di Tian and evolved."
Mu En's gaze fell upon those nine dragon heads, his voice somewhat heavy.
"It is already a dragon martial soul."
"Correct."
Tang Ya nodded, her tone calm.
"Dragon-type, plant-type Blue Silver Grass martial soul."
"Nine heads, respectively corresponding to nine attributes."
At Tang Ya's words, everyone drew in a cold breath.
Blue Silver Grass could actually evolve into such a heaven-defying martial soul?
What was the Blue Silver Grass?
The universally acknowledged trash martial soul of the Douluo Continent, without exception-ubiquitous and entirely lacking in offensive power.
Yet now, this trash martial soul had actually evolved into a dragon martial soul?
Moreover, feeling the attribute aura on Tang Ya, it was practically close to the ultimate level.
Nine powerful elements were completely more terrifying than a single ultimate element.
Even more exaggeratingly, Mu En had already released his Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul at this moment.
Golden holy light burst forth from within Mu En, brilliant and vast. An illusory projection of a Golden Sacred Dragon emerged behind him, its dragon might surging so strongly that the entire hall trembled slightly.
Beneath the illumination of the golden holy light,
Tang Ya felt no discomfort whatsoever.
Her soul power also did not encounter any resistance.
In fact, one of the light-attribute Blue Silver Grass vines even felt very close to Mu En's light element, proactively reaching out and gently brushing its dragon whiskers against him as if acting spoiled.
There was not a shred of evil aura.
Nor was there any evil intent upon her body.
Seeing this in his eyes, Mu En already had a judgment in his heart.
As he spoke, he directly arranged for Gong Changlong to fetch countless soul beasts from the Soul Beast Zone.
"Gong Changlong, go to the Soul Beast Zone and bring back a batch of soul beasts."
Mu En turned and instructed.
"Ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year ones must all be included, and in greater quantities."
"Understood."
Gong Changlong acknowledged the order and turned to leave.
Not long after, the soul beasts were brought over.
Several dozen of them in total.
Ten-year wind wolves, hundred-year mottled cats, and thousand-year azure-scaled pythons were driven by soul masters, gathering in the open space outside the hall and roaring uneasily.
After they were brought over, Mu En immediately had Tang Ya absorb them.
"Child, begin."
Seeing this, Tang Ya immediately smiled.
There was actually such a good thing?
She was not flustered at all.
Because with the suppression of Lin Chen's nine soulflames, she was as upright as could be at this moment.
Thus, beneath the astonished gazes of everyone,
Tang Ya directly used dozens of Blue Silver Vines to entangle these soul beasts.
The vines surged forth like countless snakes, blotting out the sky and instantly enveloping all several dozen soul beasts.
She began to devour them frantically.
One Blue Silver Grass vine after another pierced into the bodies of the soul beasts, and the dragon heads opened their mouths, greedily sucking down the flesh and blood essence.
The flesh and blood essence of a ten-year wind wolf was extracted, its body withering away at a speed visible to the naked eye until it turned into a dried corpse.
A hundred-year mottled cat emitted a shrill, miserable scream, but within breaths it was sucked dry, its fur losing its luster as it collapsed to the ground.
A thousand-year azure-scaled python struggled wildly with its dragon scales standing on end, but the nine vines bound it tightly, its dragon head biting down on its vital spot as its massive life force was continuously extracted.
With every soul beast the nine dragon heads on the vines devoured, the dragon might on their bodies grew a fraction stronger.
In the span of a mere hour,
she had completely devoured the flesh and blood essence of all these soul beasts.
In the open space, dozens of dried corpses were neatly arrayed, and when the wind blew, they turned into flying ash.
Yet no evil Qi appeared on her body.
Not even her eyes turned red.
Everything was normal.
Tang Ya put away the vines, clapped her hands, and looked around.
"Pardon me, am I an evil soul master?"
"No rule states that devouring flesh, blood, and life makes one an evil soul master, right?"
"I have my reason, and my soul power is completely normal."
"I know what I am doing, and I will not harm ordinary, innocent people."
"I am even very restrained when absorbing the blood of soul beasts."
"If not for accidentally encountering the blood of the Beast God Di Tian this time, I would not have been exposed."
"My Blue Silver Grass was born with the ability to devour life."
"However, I do not believe I am an evil soul master."
Tang Ya's voice was not loud, yet every word was clear, entering the ears of everyone present.
"You are naturally not an evil soul master."
Mu En made the final verdict directly, his tone resolute and decisive.
"Anyone else could be an evil soul master, but you definitely are not."
"After you absorb life, not even a shred of evil intent remains, nor even a trace of influence."
"Your martial soul is an extremely pure righteous martial soul, very suited for our Shrek Academy."
And the moment Mu En's voice fell, Yan Shaozhe, the headmaster, spoke up immediately with excitement on his face!
"Tang Ya, I saw it early on-your talent is extraordinary. Right now, I am promoting you to a core disciple, enjoying all the privileges of a core disciple."
