Chapter 30 Returning to the Body Sect, the Reward for the Poison-Invincible.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, golden light flowed endlessly.
Moon's already somewhat hunched body remained tense for a long time after listening to the staff's report.
Although he was disabled, his eyes, which had seen through the ways of the world, were now shining with a fiery light.
"At such a young age, he's already level 27, a level 2 player can injure a level 5 player, and he survived being cut in half at the waist..." Mu En murmured to himself, his thin old face full of amazement.
"This is not just a matter of the quality of one's martial soul, but also the ultimate development of one's own potential."
"If such a brilliant young man is carefully nurtured, he will surely become the backbone of Shrek Academy in the future, and even the future leader of this continent."
Moon has seen many promising young players.
But a child who can display such "unconventional" strength at such a young age and with such a high level of soul power is someone even he himself would probably be three points inferior to back then.
"Such talents must not be allowed to wander outside, much less be led astray."
Thinking of this, Moon's expression turned serious as he looked at the staff below.
"Has Xuanzi sent anyone to contact or recruit him?"
The staff member immediately replied, "Reporting to Elder Mu, Elder Xuan showed great interest after listening to Luo Chen's report."
"I have already sent Luo Chen with his men to travel day and night back to the vicinity of Yaro City. We must find the boy's whereabouts and bring him back to the academy."
Mu En nodded slightly, a look of relief appearing on his aged face: "Although Xuanzi is a bit impatient, he is still quite clear-headed when it comes to such important matters."
"He did a good job this time. Such an outstanding young man deserves any resources from the academy."
However, despite his feelings of regret, Mu En's sense of guilt about "Liu Yuan" never faded away.
"However... that boy with the eye martial spirit... could it be Liu Yuan?"
Moon sighed and slowly lay back down in the rocking chair, his eyes once again half-open and half-closed.
"Although they are about the same age and both possess eye-type martial souls, I am well aware of Liu Yuan's aptitude." Mu En shook his head, his tone tinged with regret.
"When Liu Yuan left, he was only at level nine. Even if he had some kind of fortuitous encounter and successfully broke through, it would be impossible for him to jump from level nine to level twenty-seven in just a few months."
"Moreover, Liu Yuan's martial soul had already been diagnosed as a blindness and disability caused by a failed mutation before he left. This kind of leapfrog level increase and domineering offensive and recovery ability is something he could never possess."
In Moon's view, while there are exceptions where talent is developed gradually, it can never violate basic logic.
In his eyes, Liu Yuan was ultimately just a pitiful and mediocre junior, completely different from the monster Ling Luochen described as a warrior who could roam the battlefield and regenerate severed limbs.
"Go ahead, and intensify the search for Liu Yuan as well."
"That child is, after all, the orphan of my Shrek family. It's never safe for him to wander outside."
Moon closed his eyes and waved his hand.
"As for that boy with double pupils... he is the future hope of the academy. If we find him, we should report to the Sea God Pavilion immediately."
"Yes!" The staff member respectfully accepted the order and retreated into the shadows.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, deep within the Heavenly Soul Empire, lies the Body Sect's mountain gate.
Liu Yuan and his entourage, weary from their journey, had already crossed the treacherous mountain gate corridor and arrived at the solemn sect master's hall.
At this moment, Poison Undying was sitting firmly in his high position, listening to Long Aotian report word by word on the life-and-death battle outside Yaro City.
Especially when he heard that Liu Yuan had risked being cut in half at the waist by a five-ring evil soul master to save Vina and had shot through his opponent's wings in a desperate situation, Du Busi slammed his thick palms hard on the armrest.
"Good! Well done!"
Poison Undying stood up and took a few steps to reach Liu Yuan.
Although he had already learned what had happened from the two titled Douluo beforehand, he still felt he had to clearly express his appreciation for Liu Yuan's actions.
So he directly praised Liu Yuan:
"Liu Yuan, you've got guts! You're someone I can entrust with my work!"
"It's not just the battle record, but also the courage to face strong enemies and the spirit to risk one's life to save fellow disciples—that's truly remarkable!"
"You did a great job!"
Du Bu Si turned to look at Vina and the others, then at Long Ao Tian, and shouted loudly.
"Although this mission was extremely dangerous, that's the true meaning of training!"
"Flowers in a greenhouse, no matter how beautiful they bloom, are just decorations. Only those who have gone through life-and-death trials are worthy of being called the future of my Body Sect!"
Feeling that the remaining poison in his body had been cleared and his breathing was steady, Liu Yuan bowed to Du Busi and said, "Master, you flatter me. I only did what I should do. I did cause Master and everyone else some worry this time."
"Don't be modest, kid. I may be protective of my own, but I value talent even more!" Du Busi took out a jade bottle from his robes, flicked his fingers, and several streams of azure light fell into the hands of the disciples.
"This is a 'Body Strengthening Pill' made by our sect. It can not only greatly strengthen your foundation and nourish your vital energy, but also enhance the resilience of your meridians."
"You've all worked hard on this mission. Here's a bottle for each of you. Take it back and absorb it properly!" Poison Immortal waved his hand, his tone tinged with amusement.
"Especially Liu Yuan and Ao Tian, you two, don't let me down!"
"Thank you, Master (Sect Leader)!"
The group responded in unison, and after exchanging glances, they all returned to their respective lodgings, carrying with them the fatigue and gains of the mission.
Liu Yuan returned to Tingtao Pavilion and casually activated the surrounding tranquility array.
He sat cross-legged on the futon, toying with the bottle of body-strengthening pills that emitted a faint fragrance in his hand, while his mind kept replaying the look in the eyes of the fifth-ring evil soul master before he fell from the sky.
"Strong ability does not mean invincibility; the gap in levels is still a fatal flaw." Liu Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination.
This experience served as a great wake-up call for him.
Although his laser eyes were powerful enough to threaten the Fifth Ring, and although his immortal body allowed him to regenerate multiple times, if he had faced that Fifth Ring evil soul master alone that day, his ultimate fate would have been a tragic death.
Ultimately, a total of twenty-seven levels of soul power is still too weak.
"Abnormal soul skills require even greater soul power and mental strength to support them. My primary task now is to reach level 30."
Liu Yuan opened the bottle and swallowed a body-strengthening pill.
Instantly, a scorching yet gentle medicinal effect exploded throughout his body, cleansing his meridians like warm magma.
He took a deep breath, and the double pupils in his eyes shone brightly in the dark chamber, overlapping and swirling as if devouring the sparse spiritual energy around him.
"I will not emerge from this seclusion until I reach level 30."
Liu Yuan had already planned it out in his mind: once he broke through level 30, he would definitely go and find a powerful soul ring that best matched the concept of "Qilin Step".
By then, with ranged attacks, healing abilities, and melee movement all integrated, Liu Yuancai would finally have a foothold on this continent.
So now he needs to quickly raise his level first.
