Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. It's almost time for Shrek Academy to start school again.

Because he needed to arrange identities for Yu Tianlong and Nan Qiuqiu in advance, Yu Wudao led the three of them on a journey back to Shrek Academy ahead of time.

The Heavenly Dragon Gate is located on the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire, near the far north.

Shrek City is located on the border of the three empires, near the Star Dou Great Forest, so the journey almost crosses the entire Heavenly Soul Empire.

However, Yu Wudao carried a level-five flying soul tool, and with the help of Zhang Lexuan, an eight-ring Soul Douluo, he only took two days to get home.

But returning to the academy was different; there were two more people in the team, so they could no longer rely on Zhang Lexuan to increase the team's speed.

So it took the four of them three and a half days to reach Shrek.

As soon as Nan Qiuqiu entered Shrek City, she couldn't help but look around.

Her mother was a very strict person, so Nan Qiuqiu had hardly left Dragon City in the past ten years, and naturally had not seen many prosperous places, let alone Shrek City, a city that ranks among the top in the entire continent.

Yu Wudao was clearly much more tolerant than her mother. Seeing that Nan Qiuqiu was extremely curious about Shrek City and Yu Tianlong seemed somewhat interested, he was not in a hurry to go to the academy to report. Instead, after seeing Zhang Lexuan off, he took the two of them to stroll around the city until sunset before returning to the academy to report.

Teaching Affairs Office – Du Weilun's Office

"Director Du, these are the two I want. Please make arrangements for them to be assigned to Beibei's class as exchange students."

Yu Wudao raised his arm, hooking his left arm around Nan Qiuqiu and his right arm around Yu Tianlong's shoulder, patting their shoulders to signal to Du Weilun.

Du Weilun glanced at the two: "Name, age, martial spirit, cultivation level."

"Nan Qiuqiu, fifteen years old, martial soul: Rouge Dragon, level 43 Battle Soul Master."

"Yu Tianlong, fifteen years old, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Level 51 Battle Soul King."

"Um?!"

Du Weilun remained calm after hearing Nan Qiuqiu's information; a fifteen-year-old Soul Master was not uncommon in the outer academy, and could only be described as a genius. But as soon as Yu Tianlong finished speaking, his eyes widened instantly, and he became alert.

In the entire outer academy, only Bei Bei has reached the Soul King level at the age of fifteen, and he has only recently broken through and has not even obtained a Soul Ring yet.

Judging from Yu Tianlong's composed demeanor, he was clearly no longer a newly promoted Soul King. Although his cultivation level was only 51, he was not far from breaking through to 52.

These are two top-tier geniuses!

Thinking about this, Du Weilun had a little scheme in mind.

He smiled and said to Yu Wudao:

"Wu Dao, I think we shouldn't bother with the exchange student program! I'll just give them the status of core disciples of the Martial Soul Department!"

Yu Wudao raised an eyebrow; he knew perfectly well what Du Weilun was up to.

He also gave Du Weilun a friendly smile, which made Du Weilun's smile even brighter, as if he could already see Yu Wudao agreeing immediately.

"You want it?"

Du Weilun smiled and nodded.

"Sure, but I have one condition!"

Upon hearing this, Du Weilun frowned. Knowing Yu Wudao well, he cautiously said:

"You tell me your conditions first."

Yu Wudao's smile widened, and he said:

"I want Sister Lexuan to be the team leader for Team Two!"

This condition is indeed not unreasonable, but after thinking about it for a while, Du Weilun still frowned and said:

"Zhang Lexuan was promoted to Grand Secretary a few days ago, and we cannot interfere."

Yu Wudao was prepared, and he responded directly:

"Don't give me that crap. Don't think I don't know that the Martial Soul Department is responsible for all matters related to the previous competitions! Unless there are special circumstances, it's not difficult for you to select an elder to accompany you."

Du Weilun shook his head, still firmly stating:

"No! The tradition of having elders accompany the team was established to protect the safety of the academy's geniuses! Zhang Lexuan is only at the eighth ring cultivation level now. I can't gamble the future pillar of the academy on a Soul Douluo! Even if that person is Elder Mu's disciple!"

And it's not just me; I believe none of us in the Martial Soul Department would agree to this!

Yu Wudao wanted to retort, "Yan Shaozhe might not be like that," but seeing Du Weilun's serious expression, he didn't want to contradict him.

After all, among the many teachers and elders of Shrek Academy, Du Weilun was one of the few people he still respected and who treated him well.

The situation froze for a moment. Seeing this, Nan Qiuqiu thought that an opportunity to gain favor had come, and she opened her mouth to speak.

But suddenly a golden light flashed beside them, and then a young man dressed in white walked out of the golden light, and a deep male voice rang out before her.

"Agree to his request! I will personally oversee the safety of the second team this time!"

"Grandpa! You're back!"

"Elder Mu!"

Du Weilun exclaimed in surprise, then turned to Yu Wudao and said:

"Since Elder Mu has decided to accompany you personally, I will not insist any further. However, I can only help you after you submit the personnel list for the second team."

"Thank you, Director Du."

Yu Wudao nodded and, unusually, expressed his gratitude.

Du Weilun looked surprised.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Yu Wudao curled his lip and pushed Yu Tianlong and Nan Qiuqiu in front of him.

"Go about your business!"

Du Weilun chuckled and left the office with Yu Tianlong and Nan Qiuqiu.

Enrolling mid-term is not as simple as just saying a few words. Du Weilun first needs to take the two to the student affairs office to register, then finalize the dormitory arrangements, and then inform the class teacher.

After the three left, only the old man and the young man remained in the office.

"How's it going, Grandfather? Any discoveries?"

Mu En didn't rush to answer, but instead smiled and patted Yu Wudao's head.

"Good lad, you've grown so fast! In another two years, you'll probably be taller than your great-grandfather!"

He was like an ordinary elder who, after not seeing his child for a while, realized that his child had grown up a lot without him noticing.

Yu Wudao raised his head and puffed out his chest, smiling smugly:

"If I don't grow up faster, who will take care of Great-Grandpa in his old age?"

"Then Grandpa will be waiting for you to grow up quickly! Hahahaha!"

Mu En withdrew his hand from Yu Wudao's head and let out a hearty laugh.

After a long while, the laughter gradually subsided.

Moon began to speak:

"I've found where the golden-haired lion is hiding. It really is in another dimension. No wonder we failed last time."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wudao asked with excitement in his eyes:

"Grandpa has already fought it? What's its cultivation level?"

Moon shook his head and said:

"No. Judging from the aura left at the entrance to the space, this golden-haired lion-dog's cultivation level should be around 80,000 years!"

If this soul beast is truly as terrifying as described in ancient texts, then this golden-haired lion-dog's combat power is probably no less than Xuanzi's. To avoid alerting it, I didn't disturb it.

"Eighty thousand years!"

Yu Wudao was startled, but secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, he had already used the Gold of Life to bring Mu En back to his peak, otherwise this 80,000-year-old golden-haired lion would probably have been left to watch helplessly.

As for whether he could absorb it, Yu Wudao was not worried.

Before the holiday, Mu En had examined Yu Wudao's current physical strength and found that his current limit for absorbing soul rings was a terrifying 90,000 years!

This relies not only on the powerful Ancient Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, but also on the role of the Life Gold.

After absorbing the third ring, the lifespan of the spirit ring he could withstand reached 50,000 years!

After fusing with the metal of living beings, Yu Wudao's physical endurance increased dramatically once again.

In the time that followed, the life-giving metal continued to nourish his body, and even after it was melted down into the Ancient Dragon Halberd, it did not lose its original function.

Furthermore, with his continuous improvement in cultivation, Yu Wudao was able to absorb a 90,000-year-old soul ring at the fourth level!
