Tang Wulin brought Huo Yutong out of the room and down to the first floor, only to discover in surprise that Mu En's room was already occupied. Heated arguing could even be heard from inside.
"Mu En, even if we let Tang Wulin off, we can't let that girl named Huo Yutong off! She's just an ordinary soul master whose First Soul Ring is only ten years old. Her level was even only ten when she enrolled. Other than having a Body Martial Soul, she has practically no merits at all. If someone like that can casually squander the academy's resources, then everything will be turned upside down!"
"Xuan Zi, didn't Mu En already say that this matter cannot be pursued any further? Besides, I can state with my status as dean of the Soul Engineering Department that Yutong's talent for Soul Tools is absolutely the best our department has received since its founding. Duoduo and I have even considered taking her as a Direct Disciple lately. So what if she absorbed some Life Force?"
"Hmph, what Soul Tools? They're merely a crooked side path. How could they compare to the Life Force contained within the Golden Ancient Tree? A soul master's own strength is what matters most in the end. Even if Soul Tools develop to their limit, they can never be as powerful as a true Limit Douluo!"

He tightened his grip on Huo Yutong's slightly cold little hand, offering her some reassurance before knocking on the door.
The voices inside immediately
