Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 18 Sea God Pavilion Meeting

Old Mu, who had been reclining in the chair, slowly sat up. His face was finally visible.

Old Mu had an ordinary appearance and was not tall; he even looked somewhat frail and old.

Yes, he is Elder Mu, who once dominated the continent. Now over two hundred and fifty years old, he is the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, whose title is Dragon God. He was already famous throughout the continent two hundred years ago. Two hundred years later, perhaps outsiders have long forgotten him, and many believe that the strongest person in Shrek Academy is the Gluttonous Douluo Xuanzi. But in reality, Elder Mu, the Dragon God, is the undisputed number one.

Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary old man was actually Shrek Academy's number one?

Old Master Mu's usually gentle gaze turned unusually cold as he said in a deep voice, "You're over two hundred years old, how can you still be so impulsive? If everyone were like you, deserting after making a mistake, then Shrek Academy wouldn't be able to continue operating."

Elder Xuan became anxious. "Elder Mu, please let me go. I'm really heartbroken. I don't know how to face the children's families."

Elder Mu said calmly, "You can leave if you want. If you're so capable, find a woman to marry and pass on your Gluttonous Divine Ox Martial Soul through your bloodline, then I'll let you go. Otherwise, forget it. If you say another word, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of my deceased senior brother."

"I……"

Upon hearing Elder Mu's words, the other elders participating in the Sea God Pavilion meeting all showed strange expressions, while Elder Lin on the other side burst out laughing.

Elder Xuan, embarrassed and annoyed, said, "Lin Huiqun, what are you laughing at?"

Old Lin, however, was not intimidated at all, and said with a smile, "Of course I'm laughing at whether you still have the ability to inherit the bloodline."

"Hahahaha..." All the elders burst into laughter. The four deans also couldn't help but chuckle, and Xian Lin'er even covered her face with her hands.

Elder Xuan's aged face flushed red instantly, and he slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage, shouting, "Don't laugh! Don't laugh!"

His shout only made the elders laugh even harder. Even Elder Mu had a smile on his face.

"Alright." Elder Mu tapped the table lightly with his finger, and the elders quieted down, but their strange looks at Elder Xuan remained unchanged.

Elder Mu said calmly: "I am also heartbroken by the deaths of the eight inner court disciples. However, the dead are gone. What you should be thinking about now is not how to escape, but to learn from the lessons and prevent such tragedies from happening again. After that, think about how to compensate the families of the deceased disciples, and how to obtain the forgiveness of the three seriously injured disciples and Le Xuan. So, this matter ends here until Le Xuan returns and the other three wake up."

"But.."

"Alright, that's enough. Let's wait for Lexuan to come back before we talk about anything else."

Elder Xuan wanted to say something more, but Elder Mu waved him off.

Elder Xuan could only nod dejectedly and remain silent.

"By the way, you said that Crimson Douluo happened to meet Le Xuan and the others when she took her disciple to the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings. Is that the child with the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul that you mentioned three years ago?"

Old Master Mu suddenly asked.

"Yes, Elder Mu, it's the child from three years ago."

Elder Xuan nodded.

"I heard from you that the child wants to study at our Shrek Academy. Please take good care of him and try your best to fulfill any requests he may have. After all, we owe that child and the Crimson Douluo behind him a huge favor."

"Shao Zhe, you need to be careful then, don't let this child suffer any injustice at Shrek Academy."

Old Mu turned his gaze to Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe stepped forward and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, teacher. Putting aside his life-saving grace to Le Xuan and the others, I will do my best to cultivate him with his ultimate martial soul. Although this child's background and identity determine that he will not join Shrek Academy in the future, the growth of an ultimate soul master who is close to Shrek Academy will be of great benefit to the current Douluo Continent and our Shrek Academy."

Yan Shaozhe is usually narrow-minded and often suppresses the Soul Guidance Department. He lacks magnanimity and only cares about Shrek Academy. However, his answer this time satisfied Mu En.

In the end, they didn't try to undermine the Star Luo royal family, but instead chose to win them over.

Mu En had no idea that Yan Shaozhe had actually considered poaching his employees.

Ever since Yan Shaozhe first heard about Ji Lin's existence from Ma Xiaotao, he had planned to use some means to get Ji Lin directly into Shrek Academy when Ji Lin came to study there. He even planned to have Ji Lin inherit Elder Mu's mantle and eventually take over as the head of the Sea God Pavilion. He just couldn't believe that even this wouldn't be enough to keep Ji Lin.

The Sun Moon Empire is growing stronger, while Shrek Academy is struggling to find successors.

Since his fatal battle with the Poison Sect, Mu En's body has grown increasingly weak, and he only has a few years left to live. Xuan Lao's martial soul is flawed, and this latest blunder is truly worrying. He himself is self-aware; he lacks vision, is narrow-minded, and only cares about Shrek Academy, making him hopeless of ever reaching the Limit Douluo level in this lifetime.

Zhang Lexuan is indeed exceptionally talented, but whether she can break through to the Limit Douluo level is uncertain. Her disciple, Ma Xiaotao, is even more talented than Zhang Lexuan, but unfortunately, she is hampered by the Evil Fire, and her future is bleak.

Ji Lin is different. Once a Soul Master with ultimate attributes passes the level 70 threshold, their cultivation speed is extremely fast in the later stages, and there are no bottlenecks. They have a very high chance of breaking through to level 99 and becoming a Limit Douluo.

With Shrek Academy's resources, there's no need to worry about Ji Lin's slow cultivation speed at level 30 and 70. Yan Shaozhe is confident that Ji Lin's cultivation speed will be on par with other geniuses of the same age.

Once Ji Lin breaks through level 99, he will become a Limit Douluo of Ultimate Flame, whose strength can be called the best in the world, and he will surely continue the glory of Shrek Academy for at least 300 years.

After all, the achievements of the three Sea God Pavilion Masters with the ultimate attributes in Shrek Academy's history were too dazzling, especially the Sea God Pavilion Master with the ultimate fire attribute who led the original Douluo Three Kingdoms to defeat the Sun Moon Empire, forcing the Sun Moon Empire to cede territory and pay reparations, and renaming the Sun Moon Continent as the Douluo Continent.

And Ji Lin also possessed the ultimate fire, so how could Yan Shaozhe not be tempted?

But now the situation is different. The Star Luo Empire's royal family's Grand Douluo saved his Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion Master candidate, as well as several inner court disciples.

Shrek Academy already owes them a favor, so it would be extremely unethical for them to try and poach their talent.

Shrek Academy was unaware that although Chi Yuan had joined the Star Luo Empire's Royal Hall of Worship and become a Star Luo Empire Worship Douluo, she did not actually obey the Star Luo Empire's orders. Only Ji Lin could persuade Chi Yuan to obey.

Of course, Yan Shaozhe didn't give up completely. Out of consideration for this favor, he decided not to resort to those underhanded tricks.

He wanted to openly and legitimately win over Ji Lin. If Ji Lin ultimately joined Shrek Academy voluntarily, then the Star Luo Empire would have nothing to say.

Just like Moon, who was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan but ended up joining Shrek Academy and becoming the master of the Sea God Pavilion.
