At the very last moment, Mu En's body erupted with dazzling golden light.
Before everyone's eyes, Mu En's body floated into the air. His formerly stooped frame straightened, and his skin became smooth and full again. He returned to his prime.
A golden beam shot skyward from the Sea God Pavilion. Mu En transformed into a radiant sacred dragon and flew into the sky along the beam.
After a dragon's roar, the radiant sacred dragon dispersed into countless motes of light that enveloped all of Shrek Academy.
Everyone immediately sat down to regulate their breathing. This was Mu En's final gift to them.
Then some of the light entered the Golden Ancient Tree. Even in death, Mu En still wanted to protect Shrek Academy.
Mu En's passing plunged all of Shrek Academy into grief.
But... life still had to go on.
The academy's students threw themselves into diligent cultivation. Without Mu En's protection, they had to improve their strength faster, so that they would have the power to respond if a threat arose in the future.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the agreed time for the exchange program with Sun Moon Academy was almost upon them.
Xuan Zi gathered Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, and several other Soul Engineers to announce the arrangements for the exchange students.
Naturally, Wang Dong'er was there too. As a Level 2 Soul Engineer, she was hardly an outsider. With Clear Sky Castle pulling a few strings behind the scenes, she had successfully secured a place.
The others looked at Wang Dong'er with some disdain. She was merely a Level 2 Soul Engineer who had gotten in through the back door, wasting a perfectly good place.
Wang Dong'er did not care. As long as she could go to Sun Moon Academy
