Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 166 Moon's Condition

"So, the only clue right now is with that kid named Yin Chen?"

Old Lin pressed for an answer.

"Yes."

Zhang Lexuan nodded.

"We will probably only get the full answer to all the details and secrets from Yin Chen after Hyotei awakens."

Silence fell once again inside the Sea God Pavilion.

A tremendous wave of emotion surged in everyone's hearts.

An unparalleled genius who possesses the ultimate ice and a second martial soul.

A shocking event occurred in the far north.

There seems to be an invisible thread connecting the two.

Everyone understood that the continent, which had been peaceful for so long, was probably about to undergo a major change.

The air inside the Sea God Pavilion seemed to have solidified into a tangible substance.

"Second Martial Soul", "Ultimate Ice", "400,000-Year Soul Ring", "Beast Sacrifice"...

Each word was like a giant hammer weighing ten thousand pounds, slamming heavily into the hearts of every elder of the Sea God Pavilion, making even these people, who had long been accustomed to great storms and stood at the pinnacle of power on the continent, feel dizzy and unreal.

Time seemed to stretch out at that moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, whose body was hunched over and whose life force seemed to be about to be extinguished at any moment, finally spoke slowly.

His voice wasn't loud, and was even a little hoarse, but it carried an undeniable authority that instantly pulled everyone back from their extreme shock.

"That's the end of the matter concerning Yin Chen."

"From today onwards, this matter is classified as a top-secret item at Shrek Academy. All of you present here are members of the Sea God Pavilion and should be aware of the implications. I do not wish for anyone other than us to know even a single word about this matter."

Moon's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and his seemingly cloudy old eyes contained a sharp edge.

"Especially about Hyotei."

He emphasized his words.

"Now that it has chosen to merge with Yin Chen and become his martial soul, from this day forward, it belongs to Yin Chen and is no longer a ferocious beast that needs to be guarded against and treated with hostility, understand?"

These words not only issued a gag order, but also set the tone for the existence of Yin Chen and Bing Di.

This is to protect Yin Chen.

Which of the elders present wasn't a shrewd person? They instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Elder Mu's words.

The news that a Soul Master can fuse with a ferocious beast as a Martial Soul will inevitably cause a huge uproar across the entire continent.

Jealousy, greed, fear... countless troubles will swarm in like sharks smelling blood.

Even the reaction of the Soul Beast race if they learned that Ice Emperor, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, had become a human's Martial Soul is unpredictable.

Old Master Mu is trying to nip all potential risks in the bud.

"I'll wait to understand."

Led by Xuanzi, all the members of the Sea God Pavilion responded solemnly in unison.

Xuanzi silently picked up the chicken leg that had fallen to the ground and stuffed it back into his storage soul tool. The carefree expression on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

However, with the issue of secrecy resolved, a more practical and thorny problem immediately surfaced in everyone's minds. "Elder Mu."

Yan Shaozhe remained standing, so excited and eager that he even forgot to sit down.

He took a step forward, his voice rising slightly with barely suppressed excitement.

"So... what should we do next?"

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his speech remained rapid:
“I’ve seen Yin Chen’s file. He is an orphan of the Eighth Soul Master Legion of the Star Luo Empire, adopted by the royal family. He has a close relationship with the current Star Luo royal family, especially Princess Xu Jiujiu. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, after graduating from the academy, there is a very high chance that he will return to the Star Luo Empire and serve the Star Luo royal family.”

“We must find a way to keep him at the college.”

Yan Shaozhe's words were filled with determination.

He thought of his disciple Ma Xiaotao, who was tormented by the evil fire, and of the countless efforts and disappointments he had spent in his search for the ultimate ice.

Now that hope is within reach, he will not allow it to slip through his fingers.

"Elder Mu, colleagues."

Yan Shaozhe looked around at everyone, his voice earnest.

"What ultimate attributes mean to Shrek Academy is self-evident."

His words touched the hearts of all the elders present.

Shrek Academy's history is epic, marked by both triumphs and setbacks.

And without exception, the one who propelled the academy to its peak and created a glorious era was the Sea God Pavilion Master, who possessed ultimate attributes.

Four thousand years ago, it was the Sea God Pavilion Master who possessed the ultimate fire who led the Shrek Academy's powerful warriors to turn the tide when the continental coalition was on the verge of collapse. They defeated the invincible Sun Moon Empire's army in one fell swoop, and even launched a counterattack into the Sun Moon Empire's homeland, forcing it to sign a humiliating treaty, cede territory, and pay reparations. They also forcibly changed the name of that continent from Sun Moon Continent to the Douluo Continent of today.

That was Shrek's most glorious era.

The power and rarity of ultimate attributes are evident from this.

And now, a living, breathing genius with the ultimate ice attribute, and even rarer twin martial souls, is right in front of them.

Shrek Academy is an absolute must-see.

not to mention……

The elders present all tacitly thought about another, deeper, and more serious problem—the future of Shrek Academy.

They all turned their gazes to Mu En, who was seated at the head of the table.

Their pillar of strength, Dragon God Douluo, is old.

All members of the Sea God Pavilion knew that when Elder Mu had a peak duel with the former sect leader of the Body Sect, the equally brilliant Poison Must-Death, both were severely injured. Although Elder Mu took this opportunity to break through the shackles and step into the threshold of the level 99 Limit Douluo, he also paid a heavy price.

His spine was completely broken by Poison Must Death of the Body Sect in that battle.

Even the immense life force of the ancient golden tree on Poseidon Island could only prolong his life, but could not repair the fundamental wound.

Nowadays, Elder Mu no longer dares to use his full strength easily. Every time he uses the power of a Limit Douluo, he is overdrawing on his already limited lifespan.

The sky above Shrek Academy could collapse at any moment.

And who can replace him?

Xuanzi? Although Taotie Douluo is powerful, having reached the peak of level 98, his Taotie Divine Ox Martial Soul has a huge flaw, and his temperament is too capricious.
