"You advanced a level in just two years? How did you do that?"
With the support of cultivation techniques and elixirs, it's quite normal for Five-Ring Soul King in the Su Clan Su Clan reach four or five levels in a year. In two years, they should be able to break through their cultivation realm by now.
Even the average geniuses of the Sun Moon Empire, when they were around level 50 Soul King, wouldn't take two years to level up.
Su Ning went to the Shrek Academy, which he had always longed for, but how come his cultivation speed was still slower than that of an ordinary nobleman from the Sun Moon Empire?
"Hmph! That's because I didn't lay a solid foundation before. Once I established a good foundation at the Shrek Academy, my cultivation will naturally advance by leaps and bounds!"
Su Ning said proudly, he had great faith in the Shrek Academy. Although he hadn't benefited from the Shrek Academy at all, that didn't matter. Never doubt Shrek Academy's ability to raise dogs in remote areas.
The moment Su Ning saw that the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was the family's Grand Elder, he regarded everything before as a test from Shrek. He believed that as long as he passed Shrek's test and proved his loyalty, Shrek would give him the resources that would truly enable him to grow.
"Basic skills?" The elder laughed, then slapped Su Ning.
Without any Soul Skill, it was just a simple slap, a mere impact of Soul Power, but for a mere Soul King, it was absolutely enough to take his life.
"Stop!"
In a flash, Song Yunzhi appeared in front of Su Ning, facing the Grand Elder's casual palm strike.
In an instant, Song Yunzhi's heart was filled with turbulent waves.
The strength of that Soul Power was no less than his own. More importantly, the Su Clan's Grand Elder did not use Soul Tool. In other words, the Su Clan's Grand Elder was not an ordinary Titled Douluo, but a Level 97 Super Douluo like him.
The thought that the Grand Elder opposite her was of equal cultivation level to hers made Song Yunzhi feel flustered, but she still maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
He dared not show weakness here; otherwise, if a fight broke out, not only would the student be lost, but she might also perish.
Without any hesitation, Song Yunzhi waved her hand, and the Shrek Academy students were swept up by her, along with Su Ning.
She couldn't let the Su Clan's eldest elder know that she was actually quite weak, so she had to appear tough.
Of course, this tough stance has its limits, because if a real fight breaks out, the situation could be very unpredictable.
At this moment, Song Yunzhi was somewhat fortunate that she possessed Agility Attack System Beast Martial Soul; otherwise, leaving would have been quite dangerous.
Looking in the direction Song Yunzhi left, her speed was easily matched by Level 9 Soul Tool, but there was no need to. The Su Clan didn't have much time left to lie low, so a little longer wouldn't make a difference.
"Since they've left, let's go too."
The Grand Elder waved his hand, no longer dwelling on the matter, and led everyone away.
Seeing that the Grand Elder's group hadn't caught up, Song Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She then quickly sped up, bringing the academy to Shrek and reporting the situation to Mu En.
"You're saying the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is about as powerful as you?"
Upon hearing Song Yunzhi's report, Mu En's wrinkles deepened.
As if things weren't going to go wrong, not only did a genius emerge in the Sun Moon Empire, but the high-level combat power of their Soul Master also saw a significant improvement.
Level 97, that's top-tier even in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Plus, with the Soul Tool, Mu En seriously doubted whether Xuan Zi could defeat the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
"Yes, Mu En, I felt that palm strike very clearly. That was an attack power that only a Level 97 Titled Douluo could casually unleash; it was definitely not something an ordinary Titled Douluo could deliver."
"He didn't deliberately increase the power of that palm strike?"
"No, it was just a casual strike. In fact, if it weren't for Su Ning's sudden provocation, he might not have even slapped her."
Mu En fell silent; at this moment, he was also unsure of what to do.
In the original story, Huo Yuhao was there to protect the future, but now Mu En has waited for so long and still hasn't found a genius who can protect Shrek Academy in the future.
Yan Shaozhe's temperament is flawed; he only managed to maintain his Level 95 strength by relying on the top-tier Martial Soul, the Bright Phoenix, and has virtually no chance of reaching Level 96.
Zhang Lexuan is still too young. By the time she can support Shrek Academy, he will be buried many years from now.
"By the way, how's Lexuan's cultivation level now? Has she overcome her inner demons?"
Mu En automatically avoided the topic of the Su Clan's eldest elder, because he really had no way to solve the problem.
"It's solved, and not only that, Lexuan's cultivation has even reached Level 79."
" Level 79? How could it be so fast?" Mu En was puzzled. Although Zhang Lexuan had skipped Level 71 72 because he gave Zhang Lexuan a 70,000-year Seventh Soul Ring, she was still far from Level 79!
After reaching the seventh ring, the cultivation speed will decrease significantly. Even with Zhang Lexuan's talent, reaching the seventh level in two years is ridiculously fast.
" Mu En, I asked Lexuan. He hasn't been idle these past two years. He's been fighting Ruoruo and Su Qingxue almost every spare moment. They only rest when they're covered in wounds. As a result, both of their cultivation levels have progressed very quickly."
"They cultivate so quickly, how are their bodies? Do they have any hidden injuries?"
"No, don't worry, Mu En. I've already checked that. Don't forget, the Shrek Seven Devils from Lexuan's year also went. They have the Nine Heart Begonia, which can absolutely heal in a non-death state."
" Nine Heart Begonia..."
Mu En was silent for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
" Xiao Song, do you think that if the Nine Heart Begonia could cultivate to the Titled Douluo or even possess Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, it would be possible for it to heal my injuries?"
" Mu En, you..."
"I'm still a little worried about entrusting it to Xuan Zi. His strength is still a bit lacking. He couldn't even defeat the Du Busi of the Body Sect. In the past, it might not have been a problem, but with the current strength of the Sun Moon Empire, I'm afraid Xuan Zi might not be able to handle it."
"Perhaps. After all, the Nine Heart Begonia is the most top-tier healing-type Martial Soul. If one can cultivate it to the level of Titled Douluo and obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, perhaps a Soul Skill that undergoes a qualitative leap will emerge."
How long until she reaches Level 70?
"A cultivation level of Level 67 is already quite fast for Support System."
"That's not enough. Equip her with all the Soul Bone except for her torso, so she can directly reach Level 70. As for Lexuan and Ruoruo, give them a top-tier Soul Bone to help them break through."
" Ruoruo is what I promised her before: if she helps Lexuan overcome her inner demons, I'll give her a top-tier Soul Bone. As for Lexuan, I'll find a reason to give her one too."
" Mu En, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Lexuan and Ruoruo to give away their Soul Bone before they've even made any other contributions to Shrek?"
" Xiao Song, things are different now. There are some things I don't need to worry about anymore, otherwise someone else will benefit from them."
"I understand. Also, regarding Su Ning, I can sense that he truly belongs to Shrek, but his talent..."
Song Yunzhi shook her head. "If this were in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, allowing him to graduate from the Outer Academy would be considered a great favor from Shrek."
"Let him be, let things be as they are. We need to get Lexuan and the others up to speed as soon as possible, otherwise I'm worried that if Shrek is wiped out one day, there won't be Core Flame left for Shrek to rise again."
" Mu En, what did you say? Shrek is wiped out? Who dares to wipe out Shrek?!"
"This is just a little worry of mine; it shouldn't happen, so don't worry about it too much."
"Yes, Mu En. Also, Mu En, when Lexuan and the others break through this time, should I lead a team to hunt for Soul Ring? After all, it involves your future recovery. I'm worried that if Yan Shaozhe leads the team, something might go wrong."
" Lexuan, Ruoruo, and Ye Qingzhu of the Nine Heart Begonia, they still need some time to break through. Fortunately, besides them, some of my Shrek's direct disciples are also either about to break through or have already broken through."
"They are all potential Titled Douluo, and they all need at least the seventh ring. Let them all go together. As for who will lead the team..."
Mu En closed his eyes. " Xiao Song, your strength is still a bit lacking. If we send you, there's a possibility of casualties. Xuan Zi should go instead."
