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

It was a soul bone, but it looked unlike any other soul bone.

It was a palm-sized, dark blue eye, unlike the roughness of ordinary soul bones. Its appearance was very unique and exquisite, and its surface continuously shimmered with an eerie light.

This gave Yu Wudao the feeling that it was blinking, which was extremely eerie.

"The evil-eyed tyrant possesses a soul bone!"

Yu Wudao's voice was hoarse, and his pupils trembled violently.

"It's this! Shrek Academy even has this!"

His eyes widened, his face almost overflowing with shock and disbelief.

"That's incredible, isn't it?"

A voice suddenly rang out from the air.

Yu Wudao nodded subconsciously.

This is truly incredible; it's an external soul bone! And a precious spiritual external soul bone at that!

In some ways, the rarity of this external soul bone even surpasses that of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's claw bone!

While Shrek Academy is ostensibly the number one power on the continent, judging from the details in the original work, this claim to be number one is actually quite exaggerated.

Leaving aside how many forces could shake its position, just in terms of performance, as a force that has been passed down for ten thousand years, the only resource support it has given Huo Yuhao is Mu En's personal dragon core!

Even after Huo Yuhao became the first in line to succeed the Sea God Pavilion, the academy still did not produce any truly remarkable rare and precious materials!

Not to mention self-created soul skills, ultimate martial soul cultivation secrets...

Basically, only Moon was making the effort.

Even now, Yu Wudao himself has not seen any so-called ultimate martial soul cultivation secret method. As the great-grandson of Mu En, he cannot obtain this thing. He seriously suspects that this is just a trick to deceive people in the original work!

But one day, Shrek, just like that, suddenly...

With a "snap," it tossed out an opportunity no less valuable than a divine herb. Who wouldn't recognize it? Even Yu Wudao, a direct descendant who had practically grown up in Shrek Academy, found it utterly unfamiliar!

"Don't be too happy yet. If you weren't Elder Mu's great-grandson, this kind of thing wouldn't be given to you in advance."

The voice rang out again, and Yu Wudao finally came to his senses. He turned around and saw a figure standing behind him.

"Old Lin."

He called out.

Old Lin nodded and continued:

"According to past rules, when a new Sea God Pavilion Master takes office, he can choose three opportunities from the Sea God Treasure Vault to enhance his strength. If his cultivation level has not reached level ninety-nine, he can choose one more."

However, apart from natural treasures that are consumables, all resources that can be consumed sustainably must be recycled after death.

"It's always been like this since the Sea God Pavilion was founded, but you have a good ancestor!"

Lin Huiqun glanced at Yu Wudao, walked to the display stand of the externally attached soul bone, and continued:

"This soul bone is also an old artifact. It is a spoil of war from a thousand years ago... As a treasure of this level, it should have always been kept in the treasury."

She reached out and touched the glass on the counter, as if admiring this treasure from afar.

"But what Elder Mu said three days ago made a lot of sense."

Even at Shrek Academy's lowest point, the Sea God Pavilion Master still possessed at least level ninety-eight cultivation. The uniqueness of the external soul bone lay in its growth potential, allowing it to remain in the Sea God's Treasury, waiting to be chosen by a powerful individual whose potential was nearly exhausted...

"Why not take it out and gamble on the hope of a new era! Cultivate a giant tree that can blot out the sky, so that even if it returns to the Sea God's Treasury in the future, it won't be so useless."

Lin Huiqun looked at Yu Wudao expressionlessly, her emotions unreadable.

Yu Wudao never expected that after living in Shrek Academy for so many years, there would still be secrets he didn't know.

"No wonder Huo Gua didn't get anything! It turns out he was just unlucky!"

Although Huo Yuhao is the first in line to succeed Shrek Academy, he has never actually served as the head of the Sea God Pavilion for even a single day! This is not surprising.

As for why Shrek Academy's rules are so stupid, insisting on waiting until a Limit Douluo is given an opportunity instead of using opportunities to create Limit Douluos.

Yu Wudao stated that this is how Shrek Academy is; if the rules weren't stupid, then it wouldn't be Shrek Academy.

Composing himself, he asked again with a puzzled look:

"There must be other reasons, Elder Lin? After all, I am not yet the young master."

"When Elder Mu ascended to the throne, he was already very close to breaking through his limits. He originally intended to wait until after breaking through before choosing a more suitable opportunity, but..."

Later, he realized that nothing could change his situation, and with his injuries still bad, any opportunity to enhance his combat power would be of little use.

So even though we tried our best to dissuade him, he insisted that he "didn't want to waste the legacy of his ancestors."

But now that Elder Mu has regained his peak strength, we all took the opportunity to persuade him to reaffirm his promise from back then. However, he simply took out this soul bone and asked me to give it to you, saying, "This is his choice." No matter how much we tried to dissuade him, it was to no avail...

But you should understand why I, not Elder Mu, gave you this soul bone.

Yu Wudao nodded, still speaking his mind without any reservations.

"In the eyes of most of the senior students, I was arrogant and domineering, bullying my classmates. Unlike Sister Lexuan, who grew up in the academy, I never showed much love or pride for the academy. I didn't consider the academy my home..."

Lin Huiqun looked at Yu Wudao without saying a word.

Yu Wudao then continued:

"But in my opinion, Professor Su is the one who truly doesn't love the academy and doesn't consider it his home."

Lin Huiqun showed a hint of curiosity, "What makes you say that?"

"The old master has always maintained that the academy is perfect, protecting it in every way, not allowing anyone to slander it, and not allowing anyone to discuss it. Is this love?"

No, that's just blind worship! True love for the academy means seeing through all its flaws and still feeling proud of it! It means being able to accept its imperfections!

I was arrogant and domineering in the academy, even beating up classmates, but I never got angry when students spoke ill of the academy. This wasn't because I didn't love the academy; on the contrary, it was proof of my deep love for it!

Yu Wudao spread his hands in front of Lin Huiqun and then said:

"In my view, in this day and age, the elders who blindly uphold the academy and blindly follow ancient systems have become an obstacle to the academy's development! Only by accepting imperfection can there be a possibility of progress! And the elders do not possess this possibility!"

"A hundred years from now, if I ascend to the position of Pavilion Master, the current Sea God Pavilion will have to cut at least 90% of its elders! Are you satisfied with this answer, Elder Lin?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Huiqun's stiff face suddenly relaxed, revealing a smile, and she turned to the side to show the exhibition stand behind her.

"Very good. I didn't expect you to be able to view the academy from the perspective of those in power."

You don't need to be dissatisfied with the elder's blindness. How many fools do you think can cultivate to the level of a Super Douluo? The academy needs a clear-headed helmsman, but it also needs blind sailors...

Yu Wudao's answer far exceeded her expectations, and was even more satisfying than she had imagined!

Yu Wudao did not reply. He strode forward, opened the glass cabinet, and took out the palm-sized dark blue eye.
