Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, two powerful auras collided.

Mu En slowly stepped into the forest, his hunched figure casting a long shadow in the sunlight, but the oppressive aura he exuded made the surrounding soul beasts tremble.

"Di Tian! I only want to take my disciple away; I have no intention of starting a war with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of black light descended from the sky, and Di Tian's figure appeared out of thin air a hundred meters in front of Mu En.

His black hair flew wildly, and the dragon's might emanating from his body made the soul beasts within a radius of several miles prostrate themselves, not daring to move.

“Moun, you are bolder than I imagined.”

Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, "I didn't expect you to dare come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone."

“I said, as long as my disciple,” Mu En stepped forward, “hand over Zhou Xuan, and I will leave immediately.”

"impossible."

As soon as those three words were spoken, the dragon's might emanating from Di Tian surged dramatically.

Black dragon scales were faintly visible beneath the skin, accompanied by bursts of dragon roars.

Mu En was not to be outdone; a golden dragon phantom materialized behind him, its aura no less imposing than that of Di Tian.

"Roar!"

A rough roar rang out, and Xiong Jun's massive body burst out of the forest, heading straight for Mu En.

The enormous bear paw, carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, slammed down on Moon's head.

Moon didn't even look up.

"roll."

With a single, light word, the golden dragon behind him raised its dragon might and swung it around violently.

"boom!"

Xiong Jun's body, which was tens of meters tall, was sent flying backwards instantly. He tumbled several times in the air, smashed through several giant trees, and finally came to a stop, creating a huge crater in the ground.

As the smoke cleared, Xiong Jun struggled to his feet from the pit, looking at Mu En with some apprehension, and refrained from making a move again.

A beam of green light descended from the sky, and Xiong Jun's injuries were instantly healed.

Biji's figure descended from the sky and landed beside Di Tian.

Biji Chiwang and Wan Yaowang also appeared beside Di Tian at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, Moon was surrounded by five ferocious beasts.

Moon scanned the encirclement; although he was surrounded, there was no trace of panic in his eyes.

"Di Tian, ​​as long as I take Zhou Xuan away, I know he's not dead yet."

As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Moon came alone this time, without any worries.

However, it's a different story for Di Tian. Di Tian may not be afraid of Mu En, but the others are no match for Mu En at all.

Di Tian sneered: "I already said, it's impossible!"

Zhou Xuan's importance to the soul beast race is self-evident; there's no room for negotiation if Mu En wants him to take him away.

Brigitte stepped forward: "Moun, you are old. Although the Golden Tree can prolong your life, your peak has long passed. It's not too late to leave now."

"Old?" The golden dragon phantom behind Moon suddenly solidified. "Then let me show you what this old man is capable of!"

For some unknown reason, Di Tian refused to hand over Zhou Xuan.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to take action.

Moon made the first move, and a golden light condensed from the mouth of the almost solidified golden holy dragon behind him.

"boom!"

Golden light, like a pillar, shone directly into the heavens.

Di Tian flashed, his entire body covered in black dragon scales, and he withstood the attack head-on.

After the light faded, Di Tian emerged unharmed.

"No wonder he was the number one player back then."

"Getting old?" Moon stepped forward. "Then let's give it a try!"

The phantom of the golden holy dragon suddenly materialized, its massive body spiraling upwards, its scales shimmering.

The true form of Wuhun!

With a roar, Xiong Jun charged at Mu En once again.

"court death."

Without even glancing at it, Mu En swung his dragon claw after transforming into a dragon.

Dominate the world!

The dazzling golden light formed three slashes. As soon as Xiong Jun's bear paws touched the slashes, his massive body was sent flying backward again, this time even further.

Upon seeing this, the Demon King transformed into a streak of green light, moving at an astonishing speed.

"The Dragon King shakes the realm!"

Mu En gave a low shout, and his golden domain plowed through the entire battlefield. If viewed from above, one could see that a section of the Star Dou Great Forest was missing.

The Demon King hurriedly dodged, but the aftershock still struck his left arm, instantly charring it black. Bi Ji waved her jade hand, and green light sprinkled onto the Demon King, healing his injury.

"Go back!"

Before he finished speaking, Di Tian transformed into a black shadow and instantly appeared behind Mu En.

"Dragon God's Claw!"

The black dragon claw, carrying the power to tear through space, reached for Moon's back.

Without moving, Moon's tail lashed out and collided with the dragon claw with a "snap".

The massive shockwave spread outwards, allowing the other four ferocious beasts to retreat.

They never expected that Moon, who seemed to be on the verge of death, could still unleash such power.

Mu En remained expressionless as the golden holy dragon unleashed a deafening roar, its golden light spreading outwards from Mu En's center.

The power of all attacks was greatly reduced the moment they touched the golden light.

Di Tian remained calm.

He had long anticipated Moon's strength.

"You were indeed formidable when you were young, but how long can you maintain this image now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu En's face suddenly turned pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Maintaining the domain was putting too much strain on his body.

Mu En wiped away the blood, looked at Di Tian, ​​and said calmly, "Killing you is indeed not an option."

He then looked at the other ferocious beasts: "But, killing you all is enough!"

The golden dragon roared once more, its dragon might even greater.

Di Tian's expression changed: "Stop it. If we continue fighting, it won't do either of us any good."

He hadn't expected Moon to be so resolute; this was already a battle fought with his life force burning.

"I only want my disciple!" Mu En's chest heaved violently; clearly, maintaining this state was extremely taxing on him. Di Tian's face darkened; Mu En's resolute decision had exceeded his expectations.

Is it worth burning one's life for a disciple?
"Moun, are you really going to be so unwise? To risk your life for a human kid, and possibly even jeopardize the entire Shrek Academy? Have you thought this through?"

Moon's chest heaved, each breath carrying a scorching heat, but the light in his eyes grew even more intense: "I've lived this long, what is there left for me to be unable to let go of? Zhou Xuan is the future of Shrek Academy, and today, I must take him away!"

As for Shrek, go ahead and try if you dare!

The golden dragon's roar resounded through the sky once more, its golden light shining brightly, as if it were about to dye the entire sky gold.

Biji, Chiwang, and other ferocious beasts looked solemn and retreated one after another. They couldn't get involved in this level of battle, and rushing forward would only make them cannon fodder.

Just as tensions were running high and a major battle was about to erupt—

"Teacher! Senior Di Tian! Please stop!"

A slightly hurried but crystal-clear voice came from the dense forest not far away.

Moon's resolute death-defying aura suddenly froze, and he looked in the direction of the sound with almost disbelief.

He originally thought that even if Zhou Xuan didn't die, he wouldn't have an easy life, but now it seems that things are a little different from what he thought.
A figure emerged briskly from the woods, looking slightly travel-worn but in good spirits. Who else could it be but Zhou Xuan?

Zhou Xuan strode into the arena and bowed deeply to Mu En, saying, "Teacher, I am an unfilial disciple and have caused you worry."

Seeing that Zhou Xuan was unharmed, Mu En's burning life force seemed to calm down a little.

"Zhou Xuan? You...are you alright?"

Zhou Xuan nodded: "This disciple is unharmed."

Mu En looked Zhou Xuan over and, after confirming that he was indeed unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief.

Di Tian was already standing beside Zhou Xuan.

Moon frowned again, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

Zhou Xuan gave a wry smile and bowed again: "Teacher, this is a long story, let me tell you slowly."

"Senior Di Tian, ​​could you please give me some face?"

Di Tian's expression was cold and stern, but in the end he still waved his hand, dismissing his subordinates.

"Okay! Remember our agreement!"

"it is good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Tian left.

He wasn't worried about Zhou Xuan leaving, after all, this was the Star Dou Great Forest, and as long as he didn't agree, even Mu En in his prime couldn't take Zhou Xuan away.

Shrek City, Seagod's Lodge.

Elder Xuan suddenly stood up, feeling the fluctuations coming from afar, and his heart was not at peace.

"This fluctuation... it's from the Pavilion Master! And... Di Tian!"

Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe also appeared beside him at the same time, both with solemn expressions on their faces.

"What a terrifying clash of soul power! The core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest... the Pavilion Master really went there!"

Yan Shaozhe clenched his fist: "Before the Pavilion Master left, he gave instructions that no matter what happens, we must not act rashly. Protecting the academy is our top priority."

Old Song's figure also appeared. She was relatively calm: "Since Old Mu has made a decision, he must have his reasons. The only thing we can do now is to trust him and protect Shrek Academy."

Before he could finish speaking, the two terrifying pressures from the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest reached their peak almost simultaneously.

Just as everyone's hearts were in their throats, the oppressive force of the collision mysteriously subsided, as if it had never existed.

"……it's over?"

A wave of sadness washed over everyone.

In this situation, they couldn't think of any other possibilities.

Star Forest.

As Mu En looked at Zhou Xuan who had suddenly appeared, the aura of certain death on his body slowly subsided, but the backlash from the burning life force caused a sharp pain in his chest and a metallic taste in his throat.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Zhou Xuan quickly stepped forward, wanting to help him up.

Mu En waved his hand, his tone softening considerably: "It's nothing, but what's this agreement that Di Tian mentioned?"

He naturally believed that Zhou Xuan would not betray humanity, but what kind of agreement could there be between humans and soul beasts? Not to mention that Zhou Xuan and Di Tian's strength were not even on the same level.

“Teacher, I do have an agreement with Senior Di Tian.”

"Di Tian has taken a liking to some of my abilities and hopes to cooperate with the Soul Beast Clan."

"Cooperation? Humans and soul beasts?" If these words hadn't come from Zhou Xuan's mouth, he would have found it hilarious, but Zhou Xuan was most likely not lying to him. "What's going on?"

"For the past six months, I have been conducting a study on soul spirits, which may improve the current situation of the soul beast race."

"Soul?"

"Yes, a soul."

Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and organized his thoughts: "Teacher, this 'Soul Spirit' method, simply put, is a method that allows the soul of a soul beast to continue in another form without damaging its origin, and to coexist with the human soul master, thus giving the soul master soul rings and soul skills."

Moon's pupils contracted slightly; he had lived for hundreds of years and had never heard of such a thing.

Allowing the souls of spirit beasts to continue and bestowing spirit rings upon human spirit masters? This completely overturns the fundamental understanding of the spirit master world.

Moon's voice carried a hint of disbelief: "You mean, we can obtain spirit rings without hunting spirit beasts?"

Zhou Xuan nodded solemnly: "Yes, teacher. The most recent experiment involved a thousand-year-old Moon-Gazing Rabbit. Its soul was successfully transformed into a spirit and merged with a volunteer mercenary. As a result, the mercenary obtained a spirit ring and the Moon-Gazing Rabbit's spirit skills."

Moon listened quietly, his expression gradually shifting from initial shock to deep thought.

He immediately realized the profound significance behind this research.

If it can be realized, it will be the most significant change in the world of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts in tens of thousands of years.

“Symbiosis…” Moon repeated the word in a low voice, “The souls of soul beasts are preserved, and human soul masters can also gain power. This… this is indeed a completely new path.”

His gaze returned to Zhou Xuan, tinged with complexity. "Is it because Di Tian valued this ability of yours that he made an agreement with you, asking you to research this method for the Soul Beast race?"

Zhou Xuan replied, "Exactly. Since our teacher is here, why don't we have the Star Dou Great Forest cooperate with Shrek Academy?"

After all, once the issues of spirit rings and spirit bones are resolved, there will be no conflict of interest between spirit beasts and humans.

Mu En nodded slowly. He naturally understood that if this matter succeeded, it would only benefit Shrek Academy and the Soul Beast Clan.

Di Tian's figure appeared silently in the open space to the side.

Although Mu En's body was somewhat weakened by the previous outburst, his demeanor remained calm: "Di Tian, ​​is what Zhou Xuan said true?"

Di Tian snorted coldly, which was taken as tacit agreement: "If it weren't for that, do you think I would be willing to give him face?"

"Moun, you've heard about Zhou Xuan's research. I'd like to know your, and Shrek Academy's, attitude towards it?"

"Di Tian, ​​what do you want?"

"I only want the Soul Beast race to live! The living space of Soul Beasts is being squeezed more and more. If Zhou Xuan's Soul Spirit Technique can truly allow the souls of our Soul Beast race to continue in another way and reduce the excessive hunting of Soul Beasts by humans, I don't mind cooperating with you." Di Tian's words revealed a bit of helplessness.

Zhou Xuan spoke up at the opportune moment: "Teacher, Senior Di Tian. In my opinion, the core of the Soul Spirit Technique lies in 'symbiosis' and 'voluntariness.' Soul beasts voluntarily offer their souls to transform into Soul Spirits, and human Soul Masters must also voluntarily accept them."

This is not a one-sided plunder or control; it is more conducive to peaceful coexistence between the two races. Moreover, if artificial soul spirits or even artificial soul rings and soul bones can be developed later, the problems between the two races can be completely resolved.

“Di Tian,” Mu En pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, “if what Zhou Xuan said is true, Shrek Academy is willing to be the first human force to attempt this cooperation with the Star Dou Great Forest.” (End of Chapter)
