At Shrek Academy, on the edge of the inner academy, beside the tranquil Sea God Lake.
Bei Bei hurried to the shore of Sea God Lake and looked at the naked figure in the water, a hint of exasperation on his young face.
"Brother Yueye, Great-Great-Grandfather has told you so many times already: you can't bathe in Sea God Lake."
The boy bathing in Sea God Lake stood up, casually draped his clothes from the shore over himself, and said,
"You only listen to your great-great-grandfather, don't you? You remember everything he says, but you can't remember me telling you not to go rushing around like a whirlwind."
Bei Bei looked at Mu Yueye and said,
"All right, Brother Yueye, stop lecturing me. Today's our Martial Soul Awakening. Come on, Great-Great-Grandfather's urging us to hurry."
Mu Yueye wiped the water from his head and said calmly,
"It's fine. That old man's got a good temper with me. He won't get worked up over this... well, let's go."
As Mu Yueye spoke, he fell into step with Bei Bei, going over the events of the past six years in his mind.
By the categories of transmigration from his previous life, Mu Yueye counted as having transmigrated before birth.
Unfortunately, he hadn't had much luck. He had become Bei Bei's full-blooded older brother, and when they were very young, Bei Bei's parents had died while carrying out a mission.
According to his parents' original plans in this life, Mu Yueye would take his father's surname, Mu, and follow Mu En from childhood, with one of the world's three Limit Douluo guiding him.
Bei Bei, meanwhile, would take his mother's surname and live with their parents.
The plan would have maintained their parents' relationship as husband and wife to the fullest, but unfortunately, the couple kicked the bucket too early, and looking after Bei Bei ended up falling to Mu En as well.
Mu Yueye only remembered his previous life when he was three. After learning who he was now, he had nearly burst out laughing on the spot.
What kind of status did Bei Bei's family have?
They were descendants of the current master of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion. On the entire Douluo Continent, they were bona fide Celestial Dragons.
When he had read the novel in his previous life, he had cursed Shrek for courting disaster with its arrogance and said it deserved to get bombed in later years.
But now, I'm a Shrek Celestial Dragon, and I'm arrogant too. Mu Yueye was quite satisfied with his birth. Given Mu En's bloodline, he would most likely awaken a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul just like Bei Bei.
If he was lucky, he might even have a trace of the Radiant Sacred Dragon bloodline.
Although becoming a god would be a little difficult, as long as he obtained two suitable Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings before Huo Yuhao widely promoted the Soul Spirit System,
reaching the Limit and enjoying centuries of glory would be no problem.
Mu Yueye had entertained thoughts of becoming a god, but he didn't feel strongly about it.
If he could succeed and gain eternal life, that would naturally be best. If not, a few centuries of high-quality living would be enough.
Now that he had endured three years, the day of his Martial Soul Awakening had finally arrived.
Mu Yueye looked at Bei Bei walking beside him. Bei Bei's eyes were shining with excitement as well.
As the foremost Soul Master Academy on the continent, Shrek Academy naturally did things differently when it came to Martial Soul Awakening.
An ordinary Martial Soul Awakening required only a simple formation, activated by a Soul Master using Soul Power to help awaken the Martial Soul.
Shrek Academy, however, had an altar specially cast from rare metals, with eight rings of pillars standing around the outside, all inscribed with various formations.
It was a special awakening platform reserved exclusively for the descendants of the Sea God Pavilion.
Those eight pillars were cast from refined gold, with branches of the Golden Tree as their cores.
So far, no one who had awakened on this platform had ever had Innate Soul Power below rank five.
Whether the bloodlines of these elders were truly far superior to the average on the Douluo Continent, or whether they had received special help from the Golden Ancient Tree, was hard to say.
Today, only two people needed to awaken their Martial Souls on this platform: Bei Bei and Mu Yueye.
Mu En was standing there today, a rare sight. Though his back was still bent, the smile on his face simply wouldn't fade.
Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe stood at Mu En's sides, one on the left and one on the right, both wearing kindly smiles.
When Mu Yueye and Bei Bei came before Mu En and bowed to him, Mu En stroked his beard and said with a smile,
"Not bad, not bad, truly not bad. You're both good children. Let's begin. An old man like me can't stand for too long. Xiao Ye, you're the older brother, so you should give way to your younger brother. Let Bei Bei go first."
Mu Yueye nodded. When it came to Martial Soul Awakening, seven parts depended on bloodline and three on heaven's will. There was no need to insist on going by seniority.
Mu Yueye gave Bei Bei a push on the shoulder and said with a smile,
"Sure, Great-Great-Grandfather. Come on, Bei Bei, you go."
Bei Bei didn't refuse. He simply scratched his head with a smile, thanked Mu Yueye, and strode toward the awakening platform.
Sure enough, as Yan Shaozhe activated his Soul Power, the illusory image of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appeared behind Bei Bei, with a faint golden glow within it.
Mu En frowned slightly and said to Xuan Zi,
"This child... is about average. In the end, he didn't fully inherit my light bloodline."
Xuan Zi smiled and said to Mu En,
"Mu En, your bloodline is so powerful that even inheriting a trace gives this child boundless prospects. We can find some light-attribute Soul Beasts later and still nurture him."
Mu En nodded, then looked at Mu Yueye. Clearly, he had placed his hopes on Mu Yueye, who had spent more time with him.
When Mu Yueye stepped onto the awakening platform, before Yan Shaozhe had even raised his hand to release his Soul Power, Mu Yueye felt the surroundings suddenly come to a standstill.
[**Ding!** Target identity confirmed. Long Yeyue template bound!] [Martial Soul obtained: Radiant Sacred Dragon!] [Martial Soul obtained: Dark Sacred Dragon!]
Mu Yueye froze, seemingly unable to grasp what the voice was saying. By then, Yan Shaozhe had activated the formation as usual and released his Bright Phoenix Martial Soul.
Guided by the light emanating from the Bright Phoenix, the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul Mu Yueye had just obtained was immediately brought forth.
A heaven-shaking dragon roar rang out over the awakening platform, striking fear into the hearts of the assembled elders.
It was not a hostile intimidation, but the intent to pass judgment over all living beings, released in the ordinary movements of a superior being.
Mu En's clouded eyes lit up. As though he had returned to his youth, he abruptly straightened his back and raised his head to look behind Mu Yueye.
A golden dragon suddenly appeared behind Mu Yueye and raised its head to roar at the heavens. Even Xuan Zi's Martial Soul stirred slightly.
"Radiant Sacred Dragon! This is a genuine Radiant Sacred Dragon!"
Looking at the golden dragon behind Mu Yueye, Mu En's eyes sparkled with excitement, and even his fingers trembled slightly...
