Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 164 Elders of the Sea God Pavilion

Facing this group of important figures who could shake the entire continent with a stomp of their feet.

Zhang Lexuan was also a little nervous, after all, it was her first time officially participating in the Sea God Pavilion meeting.

No one in this meeting had a cultivation level lower than that of a Title Douluo.

She gathered her thoughts and began her report in a clear and steady voice.

"Elder Mu, Elder Xuan, esteemed elders, and deans."

"This mission will be led by me, along with inner court disciples Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Xixi, and outer court core disciples Yin Chen, Gu Yuena, Ye Guyi, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan."

"The initial objective of the mission is to capture and eliminate the Nirvana Corpses that have escaped from our grasp."

She started by talking about the routine parts of the task.

"Based on the intelligence provided by the inspection team, we tracked them all the way to Dragon City on the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire. In Dragon City, we received assistance from the two major local forces, the Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Earthly Dragon Gate."

"After investigation, we finally located the hiding place of the Nirvana Corpse and successfully eliminated them all."

She paused slightly at this point.

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion showed no change in expression.

A few Nirvana Corpses are nothing to them; they're not worth their time.

Xuanzi didn't even lift his eyelids, and took out a new chicken leg from his storage soul tool, continuing to eat heartily.

He seemed completely unconcerned about the content of the meeting.

"Get to the point, Le Xuan."

Xuanzi muttered to himself as he ate a chicken leg.

“My time is precious, I don’t have time to listen to your petty stories. Boss Mu called us all here in the middle of the night, it certainly wasn’t for this trivial matter.”

Zhang Lexuan also noticed the elders' reactions, which were basically the same as Xuanzi's. She knew that these routine battle reports were simply not worth the attention of these important figures.

She changed the subject and continued:

"During the mission, the performance of several core disciples from the outer academy exceeded expectations. They demonstrated combat wisdom and mental fortitude beyond their years. This proves that the academy's policy of having inner academy disciples lead core outer academy disciples in carrying out some low-intensity missions was entirely correct, and it has played an irreplaceable role in promoting their growth."

These words can be considered a small summary and an affirmation of the college's decision.

Yan Shaozhe nodded in satisfaction.

He was pleased to receive positive feedback on this policy, which was his own suggestion.

After reporting all this, Zhang Lexuan paused again.

Her beautiful eyes swept over everyone present, and her expression changed from a formulaic report to one of utmost seriousness and solemnity.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire Sea God Pavilion quietly changed.

Even Xuanzi, who had been engrossed in eating chicken, stopped what he was doing, looked up, and glanced at Zhang Lexuan with his seemingly murky but actually piercing eyes.

'Oh? Is the main event about to begin?'

Moon's eyelids, wrinkled like withered tree bark, twitched slightly.

"Next, I will report on some unexpected situations that occurred during this mission."

Zhang Lexuan lowered her voice a few decibels.

"And some of my personal investigations and speculations, which are of great importance."

Yan Shaozhe gestured for her to continue.

"After the mission, Yin Chen, an outer disciple, gained some insights during the battle and broke through to level 40 in soul power. According to the academy's regulations, I decided to take him to the far north to obtain his fourth soul ring."

Upon hearing this, the deans present all showed expressions of interest.

"Level 40? How old is that kid? Twelve or thirteen?"

"I can't believe it!" asked Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, in surprise.

"Under twelve years old," Zhang Lexuan replied.

"A Soul Master who is not even twelve years old..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xianlin'er's eyes. "This talent is extremely rare even in our Shrek Academy."

Yan Shaozhe smiled smugly, but said nothing.

Yin Chen was a student in their Martial Soul Department and one of the most promising talents he had the highest hopes for.

"Indeed, it is an amazing talent."

An elder spoke calmly.

"But that's not the point. Keep going. What happened to Le Xuan when she went to the far north to obtain a spirit ring?"

"result……."

Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and tossed in an appetizer.

"Yin Chen's fourth spirit ring is an Ice Prison Ape Crocodile spirit ring with an age of over ten thousand years."

"what?!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er both widened their eyes at the same time.

"A fourth spirit ring, ten thousand years? Le Xuan, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Qian Duoduo asked in disbelief.

There are ironclad rules governing the time limit for a Soul Master to absorb Soul Rings.

The limit for the first spirit ring is over four hundred years, the second spirit ring is over seven hundred years, the third spirit ring is over seventeen hundred years, and the theoretical limit for the fourth spirit ring is around five thousand years.

Some exceptionally talented and physically strong Soul Masters might be able to slightly exceed this limit and absorb a Soul Ring that is six or seven thousand years old.

But ten thousand years?
This is no longer as simple as exceeding the limit.

"I am sure."

Zhang Lexuan said solemnly.

"Not bad. With this talent, after absorbing the fourth spirit ring for ten thousand years, he's no worse than Elder Mu."

Xuanzi wiped his mouth and looked at Dragon God Douluo Mu En, because Mu En's fourth spirit ring was also ten thousand years old.

But who is Mu En? A level 99 Limit Douluo, the Holy Dragon of Light. The fact that Yin Chen can be compared to him is enough to shock the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, after all, it means that Yin Chen also has the potential to reach the limit.

Although everyone was shocked by the news, they didn't lose their composure.

After all, Shrek Academy has a history of such extraordinary precedents.

If another one comes out now, it's absurd, but not entirely unacceptable.

'Fourth ring, ten thousand years…'

Yan Shaozhe's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

'This child's talent is even more terrifying than I anticipated. It seems we need to reassess our training plan.'

However, they didn't know that this appetizer was just the beginning.

The real main course, which will overturn their understanding and make even these powerful figures at the top of the continent lose their composure, is yet to come.

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Lexuan gave a bitter smile to herself.

'If that were all, why would I have bothered Elder Mu and convened the Sea God Pavilion meeting?'

Her voice became low and solemn once again.

"After obtaining the spirit ring, we intended to return immediately, but on our way back, we unexpectedly... got involved in a mess we shouldn't have gotten involved in."

"Then, we encountered a dying... ferocious beast."

The moment the words "ferocious beast" were uttered, the air in the entire Sea God Pavilion seemed to freeze.

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply in that instant.

Xuanzi's hand froze in mid-air, Yan Shaozhe straightened his back, and even Mu En, who had been resting with his eyes closed, had his long white eyelashes tremble slightly.
