Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 164 concludes; the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School visits.
"In fact, training elite disciples and going to suppress evil soul masters are responsibilities that Shrek Academy should naturally undertake. I do not object to them, but each operation requires at least one elder of the Sea God Pavilion to lead the team."

Moon looked around, his fingertips rhythmically tapping the golden conference table.

His tone was calm, without any hint of discussion; rather, it sounded more like a direct announcement of a conclusion.

"..."

"I have no objection," Old Song sighed softly and nodded slightly.

"Neither do I," Old Zhuang nodded.

Xuanzi: "Aba aba."

"..."

After all the elders unanimously approved, Moon showed no surprise and moved on to the next topic.

Su Wen was astonished by this efficiency.

In the past, Old Mu was always a kind and approachable old man, but at this moment, he seemed like an autocratic leader. Although he was still warm, the sharp edge in his bones was gradually being revealed.

The surrounding elders showed no surprise whatsoever, clearly having witnessed this scene before.

"There's one more thing, concerning the Soul Guidance Department..."

Moon leaned back.

Her gentle gaze fell on Su Wen: "Xiao Wen, I'd like to hear your opinion. Since you've created a forging department and painted such a big picture for us old folks, can the forging department really replace the soul guidance department? Or is it just a temporary boom, and we'll still have to rely on the soul guidance department in the future?"

Swish!
Everyone looked at Su Wen.

His eyes held gentleness, apology, confusion, and curiosity...

"The potential of the Soul Guidance System is not small, but within the next ten thousand years, once the Battle Armor is released, Shrek Academy's position as the overlord will be secure," Su Wen said after a long pause.

Ten thousand years later, battle armor became the dominant theme.

Even further back, when the Soul Guidance System leaves Douluo Star and its technological level is sufficient to reach interstellar space, its forging skills will still be very strong. After all, warships, mechs, and the like also require powerful metals as their foundation.

"My view is that now that you've returned, we have the capital to develop steadily. Even if the Soul Guidance Department is expensive, we should grit our teeth and develop it. This is for the future. As for the Forging Department, you can think of it as a jack-of-all-trades. If we put it on the fast track of the Soul Guidance Department, the two will catalyze a world-shaking reaction. And Battle Armor is just the one that is easiest to produce results."

"understood."

Mu En nodded.

He understood.

Clearly, the forging industry will be one of the hottest industries in the next ten thousand years, a shortcut for Shrek Academy to overtake others. The Soul Guidance system, on the other hand, is a matter of accumulating experience before unleashing its full potential; it's a case of predecessors planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. If Shrek Academy can overcome the numerous difficulties to develop it now, it won't lag far behind the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

“A few days ago, Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, visited and mentioned the exchange student program. It is clear that the Sun Moon Empire is also eager for our Shrek Academy’s experience in martial spirits to make up for the shortcomings of their students.”

"We at Shrek Academy won't hide anything; let them learn as they please. Similarly, the Master of the Red Dust Hall has stated that the Mingde Hall will be open to our exchange students. So, children, cherish this opportunity..."

"Shao Zhe, confirm the list of students from the Martial Soul Department who are volunteering. Lin'er, you too... As for Xiao Wen, your entire Forging Department will definitely be going, right?"

……

Poseidon Pavilion.

top layer.

At this moment, Moon no longer possessed the domineering and authoritarian air he displayed in meetings; he was just like the kind old man he once was.

"Did you feel like I was a stranger just now?"

"I said with a smile."

"Some." Su Wen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“Shrek Academy has been corrupt for a long time now. If we don’t take a tough stance, it will be difficult to get anything done. Those old guys, like me, have all come back step by step. They rely on their past achievements, and few people can suppress them. Shao Zhe can’t, Xuan Zi can barely manage, but you… are the only one who can truly make them believe in you.”

"Before handing Shrek over to you, I will first remove the thorns from the scepter."

"The many elders of the Sea God Pavilion are definitely your most valuable asset and your most substantial team. But you must have some understanding of this as well. These old guys are all very proud and arrogant, and they are not so easy to convince."

"Ah."

Su Wen nodded slightly.

Among the many senior scholars, there are those with varying abilities.

It's like a treasure trove. For example, Elder Du could find a master craftsman as soon as he wanted to learn forging. The only downside is that these elders are all eccentric or arrogant, making it difficult to get them to work for you...

But why is Elder Mu saying all this? Is he afraid that after he takes over as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, he will use violent means to kick all these old guys out?

“Being the head of the Sea God Pavilion is no easy task.”

Seeing that Su Wen understood his intentions, Mu En smiled with satisfaction, lay on the bench, and leisurely fanned himself.

"You silly child, when are you going to leave me an heir so I can enjoy the joys of family life? When people get old, they just love watching their children and grandchildren play around."

"Um, Elder Mu, isn't this a bit early?" Su Wen opened his mouth, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"It's getting late, Xiao Tao, Le Xuan, or Ning Tian, ​​Nan Nan, Wang Dong'er... Your charm is so irresistible, even Shao Zhe can't match it." Mu En looked at Su Wen with a smile and teased him.

……

Empire of the Sun and Moon.

The Demon Forest. Deep, dark underground, in a vast, empty hall of unknown depth.

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, this is what happened..." Zhang Peng knelt on the ground, his face pale, and said tremblingly.

Two figures stood silently in the main hall, and just their presence alone made Zhang Peng feel an extremely terrifying pressure.

"Moun? He's still alive?"

One of the slender figures muttered to herself.

"Although I don't know why he recovered, and even... according to you, surpassed his peak combat power, what I'm more concerned about is why you kept the news from him and secretly went to Shrek Academy to plunder a non-existent 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo." The voice was calm, but it made Zhang Peng's expression change. He glanced at Zhongli Wu, who was lying on the ground with all four limbs crippled.

"Please forgive me, Supreme Elder!" Zhang Peng hurriedly knelt down.

"Alright, let's leave it at that." Ye Xishui waved her hand casually. Beneath her black cloak, her gaze swept to Zhang Peng's side, where the figure lay dying on the cold floor, coughing up blood. "Wu'er, don't make a mistake..."

"Yes, mother."

Zhongli Wu looked desperate and managed to squeeze out a sentence. He knew that Mu En had spared his life because of his mother, but crippling his limbs and severing his meridians meant that he would completely lose control of the Holy Spirit Cult for at least a long time to come.

Even if it recovers in the future, the distance to the Limit Douluo realm will still be like an insurmountable chasm...

Zhang Peng carefully took Zhongliwu away.

Above the higher levels.

In the interplay of light and shadow, a stunningly beautiful face was revealed by the faint glow of several candle flames. The woman had long, deep purple hair and was shrouded in a wide black robe. Time had left no trace on her face. If Su Wen were there, he would be astonished to find that this nearly two-hundred-year-old woman was even younger than Xian Lin'er and the others.

However, compared to before, her eye sockets and nails now have a faint dark purple tinge.

She sat languidly in the main hall, picking her nails.

"What, do you want to go see this close friend? Or are you simply planning to leave the Holy Spirit Cult?"

“…Xi Shui, you know me.” Beside him, the tall figure gave a bitter smile.

“This time, Wu’er acted on his own initiative, but he has already received the punishment he deserves. I hope you can forgive him this time,” Ye Xishui said calmly.

"Hmm." Long Xiaoyao hummed softly.

Seeing this, Ye Xishui sighed inwardly. It seemed that the matter was temporarily over, but once Wu'er's injuries healed, some physical pain would likely be unavoidable...

The black and white dragons of the mainland, their brotherhood forged through life and death, how could she easily sever it?

Wu'er's actions have touched a raw nerve with him.

"As for that kid Su Wen, let's put him aside for now. Even if he comes to the Sun Moon Empire, no one should target him. At least until he leaves the Sun Moon Empire, I don't want to hear any news about him..."

Ye Xishui waved her hand, summoning a man in black robes, and gave him detailed instructions.

Leave the dimly lit hall.

Long Xiaoyao flashed and stood atop a towering ancient tree in the Demon Forest. After hesitating for a long time, he finally took out an envelope from his pocket.

The handwriting is still familiar.

Xiaoyao, seeing this letter is like seeing you in person...

……

Inside the golden tree house.

A golden pill the size of a longan floated up and down in Su Wen's dantian, emitting a rich golden light. Thread-like halos spread out from Su Wen as the center, connecting to every corner of the wooden house. As the golden pill expanded and contracted, the soul power within Su Wen's body completed cycle after cycle.

"call……"

Footsteps sounded outside the window.

Su Wen gently exhaled a breath of stale air and nodded in satisfaction.

More than two months have passed since the Holy Spirit Cult's invasion. Since Mu En's invincible emergence, the entire Douluo Continent has been quiet for a moment. The situation on the continent, which was like a powder keg ready to ignite at any moment, has once again stabilized.

This is the power of a Limit Douluo, capable of making all forces on the continent "follow their hearts".

No force can easily provoke a peak Limit Douluo. Even if the Sun Moon Empire later developed a joint defense soul tool, it would probably not be a match for him. Xuanzi's inability to break through was simply because he was too weak...

After sacrificing a divine herb, Ma Xiaotao advanced to the level 72 Soul Saint. The evil fire within her body, enhanced by the toxicity of the divine herb, was refined into fire poison, greatly increasing her combat power. However, this also gave her an excuse to drag Su Wen along to "release her fire."

Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan was promoted to a title, becoming the Bright Moon Douluo, and also successfully passed the Inner Academy assessment and graduated, becoming an Inner Academy teacher.

The other girls all experienced a surge in strength after acquiring the immortal herbs, with Ning Tian and Wu Feng even considering joining the inner academy.

As for Xuanzi and the other elders, they all went into seclusion to prepare for their ascent to higher levels.

Ma Xiaotao tiptoed open the door, her crimson eyes filled with the thrill of doing something naughty, but what she saw was Su Wen's fixed gaze.

"Boring~"

Ma Xiaotao was deflated and felt bored: "Let's go, the teacher asked me to call you over. He said the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is coming to see you personally. He's in the outer courtyard."

As she spoke, she casually pounced on Su Wen's bed, propping her head up and turning to the side, revealing her perfect S-shaped curves. She lightly kicked Su Wen's thigh with her long leg, looking at him with a seductive expression: "Remember to go to Sister Xiao Tao's after you're done, okay? Sister will give you..."

Su Wen: "..."

P.S.: I'll post each chapter as I write it, and finish before 10 PM. With a little effort, I should be able to write more than 15,000 words today.
