Chapter 24: Mu En's Thoughts
What Xuan Zi didn't say was that Body Martial Souls needed a second Awakening to truly shine.
But that no longer mattered. Half a month ago, Mu En had sought out Xuan Zi and instructed him on many matters, the most important of which was to build momentum for Huo Yuhao.
Mu En deeply felt that his days were numbered. Who would preside over the overall situation when that time came?
Xuan Zi? His strength was sufficient, but his actions were improper.
Given the things Xuan Zi had done, if Shrek didn't truly need a ninety-eighth-level Super Douluo to uphold its prestige and protect it after his death, Mu En would have long since removed Xuan Zi from his position as Vice Head of the Shrek Supervisory Group and his seat in the Sea Gods Pavilion, keeping him in the academy purely as an enforcer.
If only one of the many elders in the Sea Gods Pavilion could break through to the ninety-eighth level, Mu En would have done so.
Unfortunately, those elders were old, their potential exhausted, with no room for further advancement.
Mu En's four Disciples, the four deans of Shrek, each had their own flaws and were unable to bear heavy responsibilities.
Before Huo Yuhao, the one Mu En was most optimistic about was the Inner Court's Senior Sister, Zhang Lexuan.
At a young age, she was already an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, possessing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, destined to become a Super Douluo in the future.
Alas, Mu En felt he wouldn't live to see that day.
Now, with the emergence of a prodigy like Huo Yuhao, whose talent spanned across all fields, Mu En's heart was reignited.
Xuan Zi could ensure Shrek's safety for a decade or more after his death, by which time Inner Court Disciples such as Zhang Lexuan, Wu Ming, and Han Ruoruo would have also matured.
Under the protection of Xuan Zi and Zhang Lexuan's two generations, Huo Yuhao would also be able to grow!
How could he not know the power of the Body Martial Soul!
By then, Shrek would usher in another era of glory! It would also be able to calmly cope with the increasingly turbulent situation on the continent!
Therefore, for Huo Yuhao to smoothly inherit the position of Sea Gods Pavilion Master in the future, Mu En had to Cultivate Huo Yuhao's sense of belonging to Shrek. With Shrek's ten-thousand-year glory, could it not win over the heart of an eleven-year-old child?
Prestige was also necessary, and showcasing potential and talent was the best way. It was precisely for this reason that Mu En brought the elders of the Sea Gods Pavilion to observe this New Student Assessment.
For these elders, what was so interesting about a New Student Assessment?
The youngest among them was over a hundred years old!
They had watched countless New Student Assessments and had no interest, but they couldn't resist the fact that among this batch of new students was a new Disciple taken in by Elder Mu!
In the Sea Gods Pavilion, no one could rival Mu En's prestige; he was Shrek's stabilizing force.
These elders only listened to Elder Mu.
Elder Mu's closed-door Disciple—that was Shrek's future! They couldn't not watch!
"New Student Assessment, Finals: New Student Class Nine's Huo Yuhao Team versus New Student Class Five's Dai Huabin Team!"
Both teams stood in position.
Mu Jin, on the viewing platform, couldn't help but look a little nervous, while Du Weilun chuckled beside her.
"Teacher Mu, you've taught three excellent students."
"Ah, no, no, it's the students' own hard work. Moreover, if it weren't for the director, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have entered the academy, and Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo wouldn't have come to Class Nine."
"Haha, Teacher Mu, you're too modest. Even students with the best talent need good teachers to guide them."
Du Weilun said with a laugh.
Who knows what happened with this New Student Assessment; all four deans came!
Whatever the reason, it was a good thing.
This batch of new students was unprecedentedly outstanding; in recent decades, such excellent students hadn't been seen.
To Cultivate to a Soul Elder at the age of eleven or twelve was truly outstanding.
In this batch of new students, there were three.
And one Body Martial Soul, who made it to the finals, even defeating a one-ring Soul Master of the Soul Elder rank—this was a merit bestowed upon him, Du Weilun, by heaven!
Later, if the dean asked, and he casually mentioned that Huo Yuhao was specially recruited into the academy by him, then there would be great merits and no shortage of rewards.
Don't look at Du Weilun being the teaching director of Shrek's Martial Soul Department and an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, a prominent figure anywhere on the continent.
But in Shrek, without the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, who would want to be a high-ranking official?
"New Student Class Nine, Huo Yuhao, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, please enlighten us."
"New Student Class Five, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie."
"Match, start!"
In front of Huo Yuhao were the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo. The moment the referee called'start,' they embraced each other.
It was clearly their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which they had never used in an assessment before!
Many students in the stands were captivated by this strange sight.
Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo knew that as twenty-fourth-level Great Soul Masters, and control-type at that, facing a strong assault-type Soul Elder like Dai Huabin, they couldn't even buy time for Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao, who could make Soul Elder-level Soul Masters fall into a coma, was the strongest combat force.
Therefore, from the beginning, the plan was for Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to take Dai Huabin out of the ring, ideally also taking Zhu Lu or Cui Yajie down with him.
But they didn't know that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu also possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Nor did they know of Dai Huabin's formidable strength.
The White Tiger lineage's Legacy Martial Soul was quite famous in the Martial Soul world, known for its formidable power.
But truly, the White Tiger Martial Soul didn't rank among the top.
There were always Super Martial Souls, and the White Tiger Martial Soul could only be considered an Advanced Martial Soul.
But the White Tiger Martial Soul was stable!
Each generation could consistently produce Titled Douluo, and White Tiger Soul Masters with good talent, barring accidents, could all Cultivate into Soul Douluo.
For over ten thousand years, it had been like this generation after generation.
This stability was what major Sect forces valued most.
For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, hailed as the strongest beast Martial Soul, but compared to the Golden Dragon Martial Soul and the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul, it was like a sub-Dragon.
But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was stable; it produced Titled Douluo every generation.
After more than ten thousand years of Legacy, the White Tiger Martial Soul's cultivation and Soul Ring matching were extremely reasonable and fully utilized the Martial Soul's characteristics.
As such, even if the White Tiger Martial Soul couldn't surpass Super Martial Souls, it wasn't far behind.
As a direct descendant of the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, Dai Huabin naturally received the best training.
He also developed an arrogant and overbearing personality.
On the arena, when Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo embraced, Dai Huabin knew something was wrong.
He was confident that even if Huo Yuhao, along with the Lan sisters, ganged up on him, he had the strength to fight one against three!
Dai Huabin didn't know that Huo Yuhao was his half-brother.
Of course, even if he knew, it wouldn't matter; at most, he would spit out the word 'bastard'.
Huo Yuhao activated his Martial Soul, the Soul Ring's light flickering, indicating he was constantly using his Soul skillss.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Heaven's Net!
In the charging Dai Huabin's eyes, his double pupils turned a deep, profound blue, and two yellow and one purple light rings rose with his assault.
Zhu Lu's body became slender and mature, but her movements were a beat too slow.
She never expected that the young man who guided her out of her Spiritual predicament the night before last would be her opponent in the finals!
