“Alright, then after she comes out of seclusion, take her to Mingdu to find me as soon as possible.”

Kong Deming got up to leave, but before he did, he suddenly remembered the instructions given to him by the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire before he came, and said, "Before I came, His Majesty asked me to give you a message. He hopes that you can stay in Mingdu for a while longer."

"Go stay in Mingdu?"

Dugu Han was somewhat puzzled by his uncle's intentions.

Kong Deming explained, "His Majesty has health problems that even I cannot detect. However, it is certain that his health is deteriorating and he is now very weak. His spirit is also not as good as before, and he has handed over many government affairs to the Crown Prince."

“You are His Majesty’s only nephew, and he dotes on you, so I think he probably wants to see you more often.”

"I see!"

Dugu Han solemnly agreed and then saw him out.

Old Mu had been waiting outside. When he saw the two of them come out, he smiled and said, "You've finished talking!"

"It's over!"

Kong Deming bid farewell to Elder Mu, saying, "Dragon God Douluo, I have finished my business and need to return to Mingdu as soon as possible. There is still a madwoman there, so I will not linger here any longer!"

"I send you!"

Elder Mu and Dugu Han together escorted Kong Deming out of the academy.

Before leaving, Kong Deming also made a promise to Dugu Han.

"I am only lacking in cultivation level to reach the level of a level 10 Soul Master. After returning to Mingdu, if I can break through to level 95 by taking the Spirit Breaking Elixir, I can directly become a true level 10 Soul Master."

"Once I become a true level 10 Soul Master, I can help that woman complete the creation of her Soul Tool in two years at most, and complete the creation of your armor in three years at most."

"Five years!"

Kong Deming promised, "I will complete the armor for you within five years."

"Elder Kong can rest assured, I will take Le Xuan to Mingdu as soon as she comes out of seclusion." Dugu Han also made his promise.

"Lexuan?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Mu frowned. He glanced at the two of them and, considering Zhang Lexuan's martial spirit, began to speculate.

However, he believed that Dugu Han could handle it, so he did not ask any questions.

"gone!"

Kong Deming nodded to Dugu Han, then bid farewell to Elder Mu, saying, "Dragon God Douluo, farewell!"

"Walk slowly!"

Old Master Mu nodded slightly and watched Kong Deming leave.

They then walked back to the academy together.

"teacher!"

Dugu Han accompanied Elder Mu through the academy, explaining that he planned to leave the academy with Ma Xiaotao the next day, and that he needed some Life Gold.

Elder Mu readily agreed to Dugu Han taking Ma Xiaotao to the Land of Inheritance, as it had been agreed upon beforehand.

The gold of life surprised him somewhat.

"Your Ice Emperor Wings contain a large amount of life energy, which you can now draw upon at will. What use is the Gold of Life?"

"My uncle has developed serious health problems for some unknown reason, and I need some 'Life Gold' to prolong his life."

As Dugu Han walked, he explained, "As for the life energy stored in the Ice Emperor's Wings, although I can now mobilize it at will, it can only be used on myself and cannot be used on others."

"That's it!"

Old Mu nodded slightly, stopped in his tracks, and with a flick of his wrist, took out the small half of the Life Gold.

Then he used his other finger to slice it in half again.

"Teacher, we don't need that much. We only need a little to keep my uncle alive."

Dugu Han was surprised to see his teacher directly divide up half of the Life Gold.

"Just consider it doing a favor!"

Old Mu smiled and handed half of the gold of life to Dugu Han, saying, "When you give it to your uncle, just mention that you got it from the academy."

"That's no problem!"

Dugu Han put away the Life Gold, and then accompanied Elder Mu towards the Soul Battle Zone.

The battle between Ma Xiaotao and Xian Lin'er has ended.

Although at the last moment, with various enhancements, she used her eighth soul skill to condense an incomparably powerful fire phoenix, unleashing an attack comparable to a Super Douluo, causing great trouble for Xian Lin'er.

However, there is a ten-level difference in soul power between level 85 and level 95, which is not only a difference in attack power, but also a huge difference in the total amount of soul power.

After Ma Xiaotao used her strongest attack, her soul power was completely exhausted, and she could barely fly. On the other hand, Xian Lin'er suffered some minor injuries under Ma Xiaotao's strongest attack, but was not seriously hurt.

His condition is relatively good, and he still has a surplus of soul power.

So Ma Xiaotao decisively chose to admit defeat.

Even so, she still received unanimous praise from the elders.

The fact that an 85th-level Soul Douluo could fight a 95th-level Super Douluo for such a long time, especially since this Super Douluo was Xian Lin'er, already proves her worth.

When Dugu Han and Elder Mu arrived, the group of elders were still praising Ma Xiaotao, and they didn't even notice the arrival of the two.

Qian Duoduo and Han Ruoruo, who were on the periphery, were the first to notice the arrival of Elder Mu and Dugu Han. "Elder Mu!"

"Mr. Mu!"

"Ok!"

Old Mu smiled and asked, "So, who won?"

"I won, but I had the advantage of having more soul power than Xiao Tao. If Xiao Tao hadn't exhausted her soul power first, she would definitely have been the final winner."

After noticing Elder Mu, Xian Lin'er walked out with a wry smile.

Ma Xiaotao's healing soul bone skill that consumes no resources is simply too overpowered!

As long as there are flames on her body, she can quickly heal herself. After she activates her Martial Soul True Body and transforms into a fire phoenix, her entire body is covered in phoenix sacred fire.

The ultimate level of flames, combined with this overpowered soul bone skill, greatly enhances her self-healing ability. As a result, no matter what injury she suffers, she can recover quickly without any cost, which is quite overpowered!
"Mr. Mu!"

"Mr. Mu!"

"teacher!"

At this moment, everyone else also noticed Elder Mu's arrival.

"Grandmaster, Junior Uncle!"

Ma Xiaotao watched the two of them excitedly. Although she lost, as a level 85 Soul Douluo, being able to fight against Super Douluo Xian Lin'er for so long was enough to make her proud!

"Mr. Mu!"

Old Lin said with a smile, "Although Xiao Tao lost in the end, the fact that she could fight Lin'er for so long is enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the ultimate martial soul!"

"Not bad!"

Another elder chimed in, "Xiao Tao is only level 85 now, yet she can already fight Lin'er, a level 95 Super Douluo, for so long. If she reaches level 95, she'll probably be able to handle a level 99 Limit Douluo!"

"Elder Mu, we've always said that Xiao Tao is your successor, but that was all decided privately. Now I suggest that we directly designate Xiao Tao as the next successor of the Sea God Pavilion!" Elder Song suggested with a smile.

"I second the motion!"

"I also agree!"

Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier expressed their agreement the moment Old Song made the suggestion.

Then, Elder Lin, Elder Zhuang, and other elders, along with Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, all agreed without objection.

Although this is the Soul Fighting Zone, almost all the members of the Sea God Pavilion are here, making it practically a Sea God Pavilion meeting!
Looking at the crowd who seconded the motion, and then at the expectant Ma Xiaotao, Old Mu pondered for a moment before shaking his head: "There's no rush, let's discuss it later!"

"Teacher, why?"

Yan Shaozhe didn't understand. These were all things that had been decided long ago. Now, it was just a matter of making the decisions public and turning them into a done deal.

Is there any need to discuss this later?

The others also frowned.

Whether in terms of talent or combat strength, Ma Xiaotao is now qualified to be the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master.

Ma Xiaotao also looked at her grandmaster in surprise.

"Xiao Tao will be going to a place to cultivate with Xiao Han tomorrow, so it's inappropriate to announce her as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master now," Elder Mu explained simply.

"Practice?"

Cai Meier asked in confusion, "Where are we going? Can't we just cultivate at the academy?"

“That’s right. The academy is searching the entire continent for treasures that can enhance Xiao Tao’s fire attribute. Xiao Tao is cultivating at the academy, so if any treasures are delivered, she can consume them immediately,” Elder Lin said.

Elder Song, Elder Zhuang, and other senior figures also expressed their opinions, and none of them were in favor of the suggestion to let Ma Xiaotao go out to cultivate.

"Xiao Tao, what's your decision?" Old Mu asked Ma Xiao Tao with a smile.

"Of course I'll cultivate with my junior uncle!"

Ma Xiaotao looked at Dugu Han, who hadn't spoken yet, and smiled, "Grandmaster, as you know, if the three of us—Junior Uncle, Wu Ming, and I—cultivate together, our cultivation speed can be multiplied."

"If you elders are worried about Xiao Tao's safety, then you can rest assured."

Dugu Han also spoke up at the right time, saying, "The place where we cultivate is very safe. Even a Limit Douluo cannot threaten us."

"Even a Limit Douluo can't pose a threat?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, because even Shrek Academy, with Elder Mu in charge, wouldn't dare to claim that even a Limit Douluo couldn't threaten the academy.

"Since Xiaohan is confident and Xiaotao is willing to go with him, then it's settled!"

Elder Mu made the decision, and then said to Yan Shaozhe, "Shaozhe, prepare the fire-attribute treasures that the academy has collected for Xiaotao during this time, and give them to Xiaotao to wear tomorrow."

"Ok!"

Yan Shaozhe nodded, but also asked with some doubt, "Junior brother, I wonder where your training place is located? If the academy finds any more treasures that can enhance fire attributes, I will send them to Xiao Tao."

"I'll come back with Xiao Tao to get it then," Dugu Han said with a smile.

"That works too!"

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Yan Shaozhe did not ask any further questions.
