"Radiant Sacred Dragon, it really is the Radiant Sacred Dragon! My Martial Soul really has been passed down intact to a descendant!"
Mu En spoke in a trembling voice, while Xuan Zi cupped his hands toward him and said,
"Congratulations, Elder Mu."
With tears brimming in his eyes, Mu En gazed at the phantom of the Radiant Sacred Dragon before him, then smiled and waved a hand at Xuan Zi.
At that moment, amid the cries around them, the phantom of the giant dragon of light behind Mu Yueye slowly withdrew into his body.
The next moment, a black line suddenly streaked across the horizon, and a pair of dragon claws reached out from its center.
Mu En stared at the scene in surprise and said in a trembling voice,
"This... could it be Twin Martial Souls?!"
Mu En's voice trembled as he looked at the scene, while Xuan Zi's expression grew more solemn. If these were Twin Martial Souls, Shrek's subsequent plans for cultivating him would be entirely different.
After all, the iron law of Twin Martial Souls was that the two Martial Souls had to be of similar rank.
If it was of a rank comparable to the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, this child's future would be limitless.
The dragon claws emerging from the black dotted line on the horizon pulled apart, forcing the line open. Then a dark dragon, somewhat similar to the Radiant Sacred Dragon but utterly opposite in color and attribute, suddenly appeared behind Mu Yueye.
Had the giant dragon not been floating behind Mu Yueye, in the phantom form a Beast Martial Soul should have when manifested,
Everyone from Shrek would have mistaken it for a pure dragon Soul Beast and attacked it.
Amid the chorus of startled cries, only Mu En spoke, his trembling voice tinged with disbelief.
"This is... the Dark Sacred Dragon?! How is that possible? Ye'er's Martial Soul is actually the Dark Sacred Dragon!"
Xuan Zi was the first to recover. He quickly turned to look at Mu En and said in a low voice,
"Elder Mu, the Darkness Holy Dragon Martial Soul, isn't that..."
Mu En nodded, then raised his head and took a deep breath before saying to Xuan Zi,
"You're right. The Dark Sacred Dragon is the Martial Soul of Long Xiaoyao, Dragon Emperor Douluo, the Black Holy Dragon of the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons who shared my fame back then. I never expected this child to possess two Martial Souls with completely opposite attributes, and that under these circumstances, the powers of light and darkness would fuse together perfectly."
As Mu En spoke, he stepped up to Mu Yueye and pressed a hand against his abdomen, sensing the changes in the Soul Power within his dantian.
After a long while, he stepped back, his eyes revealing irrepressible excitement and delight.
"After all these years, my Mu family's grand pity pull has finally come! Hahaha, such perfect Twin Holy Dragon Martial Souls can be cultivated just like traditional Twin Martial Souls. In the future, our Shrek Academy will have a Soul Master with twin dragon Martial Souls and eighteen Soul Rings, and those Holy Dragon Martial Souls will have two Ultimate Attributes!"
Mu Yueye looked at Mu En, who stepped back a few paces and said to Yan Shaozhe beside him,
"Shaozhe, test his Soul Power. Although most people with Twin Martial Souls have Innate Full Soul Power, test him anyway and give this old man something to be happy about."
In truth, the answer had already been revealed the moment Mu En pressed his hand against Mu Yueye's lower abdomen. Mu En simply wanted to see a more precise test result now to make himself happy.
Yan Shaozhe understood his teacher, so he obligingly handed over a crystal ball and said to Mu Yueye,
"Come on, Little Ye, face your final trial on the Douluo Continent: the Soul Power Level test. Get through this, and you'll be a proper Soul Master!"
Mu Yueye nodded, then reached out and placed his hand on the crystal ball. Seeing the blue halo that began to shine from it, he couldn't help nodding.
Without a doubt, Mu Yueye, who was bound to the Long Yueye template, also had Innate Full Soul Power.
The answer, which Mu Yueye had long since known, excited Mu En and the senior elders of Shrek.
Although the descendants of Shrek Academy's senior elders generally had no lack of aptitude, and with the help of magic arrays, they could keep their overall strength from declining,
It had indeed been a long time since anyone with Innate Full Soul Power had appeared.
Mu Yueye's appearance had undoubtedly given Shrek Academy's morale a tremendous boost.
Mu Yueye, meanwhile, looked at Yan Shaozhe, Mu En, Xuan Zi, and the others. Born into such a Celestial Dragon family, the only small problem was that he couldn't choose the first few Soul Rings for his primary Martial Soul himself.
They would surely use the experience accumulated on the Douluo Continent to select the most suitable set of Soul Rings and fighting style for him.
And since there was some debate over his Black and White Twin Holy Dragon Martial Souls themselves, Mu Yueye probably wouldn't even be able to choose which Martial Soul to cultivate first.
From an omniscient perspective, Mu Yueye wanted to cultivate the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul first. After all, a towering mountain of the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul stood right before him, and he was his great-great-grandfather to boot.
Besides, leaving the Silver Dragon King aside, the two best dragon Ferocious Beasts today, Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and Zi JI, the Hell Demon Dragon King, both had attributes aligned with the Dark Sacred Dragon.
If he used the Radiant Sacred Dragon to absorb those two Soul Rings, it would be much more difficult.
But Mu Yueye could also guess what Mu En was thinking. Without an omniscient perspective, Mu En didn't think he had only a few years left before he kicked the bucket.
Under those circumstances, he would most likely save the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul to cultivate as the second Martial Soul.
That way, once Mu Yueye was capable of absorbing Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, he could equip the Radiant Sacred Dragon with them.
And when the time came, Mu En planned to teach Mu Yueye some of the Radiant Sacred Dragon's ultimate techniques, creating an even more powerful Light Dragon King Soul Master.
There was essentially nothing seriously wrong with that logic, except for one point where it all fell apart: there was almost no way to keep Mu En alive until his primary Martial Soul had been cultivated to at least level seventy.
Unless the Long Yueye template could pull some powerful stuff from Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King out for Mu Yueye.
Mu Yueye understood all the reasoning, but he couldn't very well say that to Mu En.
Was Mu Yueye supposed to say, "Great-great-grandfather, stop messing around. You'll be drawing your last breath in a few years anyway, so you might as well pass everything about the Radiant Sacred Dragon on to me first and let me make it my primary Martial Soul"?
That would be such thunderous filial piety that, if he were Mu En, he'd smack himself too.
Mu Yueye turned it over and over in his mind, only to find that he really didn't have much room to maneuver. He could only wait and see what Mu En had in mind.
Mu En was evidently thinking much faster than Mu Yueye, because Mu Yueye had already seen him whisper a few words to Xuan Zi, who then looked at Mu En in surprise.
After Mu En nodded again to confirm it, Xuan Zi turned and left.
Watching Xuan Zi hurry away from the awakening ceremony platform, a thought suddenly welled up in Mu Yueye's mind.
Never mind which Martial Soul I cultivate first. When it's time to go Soul Hunting, I absolutely must not let Xuan Zi lead the team...
