Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 71 Dragon God Douluo! (55)

"Teacher, I brought him."

After Yan Shaozhe finished speaking,

Teacher?! Zhu Ziyang was secretly shocked. Could it really be the legendary Dragon God Douluo? That peerless powerhouse who was renowned throughout the northern part of the continent?

At the same time, the previously closed door of the cabin suddenly opened, letting in warm, spring-like light, and a voice, aged yet comforting, called out: "Come in!"

Zhu Ziyang followed Yan Shaozhe into the Sea God Pavilion. The first thing they saw was a large hall with a long table and several wooden chairs. They didn't linger in the hall but went straight to the third floor. On the third floor was a small wooden cabin. The furnishings were simple: a wooden bed against the wall, a wooden eight-immortal table and four wooden chairs in the center, a bookshelf filled with books on one wall, and a wooden rocking chair by the window. An old man, looking rather weary, lay quietly on it, facing the window. Sunlight fell on him, giving him an almost awe-inspiring aura.

This sense of sacredness was just right. If it were someone else, Yan Shaozhe might have felt awkward, but for this old man, he felt that he deserved this sacredness.

Because he is Moon.

"Teacher!" Yan Shaozhe walked to the old man's wooden chair, respectfully cupped his hands, and called out.

Mu En turned his face, a kind smile typical of an old man, nodded to Yan Shaozhe, and then looked at Zhu Ziyang with his cloudy eyes, saying, "Child, you have surprised me greatly."

"You're the old man in front of the dormitory building!" Zhu Ziyang exclaimed, his face showing only a hint of shock and his eyes widening slightly.

"Hehe! You don't seem surprised at all to see me?" Moon said with a smile, though he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Because the moment I saw you, I sensed a strong aura of light emanating from you, and I knew you were no ordinary old man. But I never expected that you would be Dean Yan's teacher. This is truly astonishing!" Zhu Ziyang said calmly, though his face showed surprise.

He simply stared calmly at Moon, his eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

"Hehehe, I see. No wonder it's called Ultimate Light!" Mu En laughed again when he heard Zhu Ziyang's words. He thought of the scene that morning when Zhu Ziyang stared at him, and the wrinkles on his face gathered together with laughter.

"Teacher is the current head of the Sea God Pavilion, the leader of the three ultimate Douluo of this era, with the title of Dragon God, and his name is Mu En!" Yan Shaozhe introduced to Zhu Ziyang, his face showing a strange look of adoration, like a child looking at his father.

"Dragon God?! You really are the legendary Dragon God Douluo!" Zhu Ziyang looked both shocked and excited, and was even a little flustered, just like a fan who had met his idol.

"Oh, it seems you've heard of this old geezer?" Mu En noticed Zhu Ziyang's reaction and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Mmm!" Zhu Ziyang nodded excitedly, his hands clenching involuntarily—a genuine expression of his emotions. Little did he know, it was this authenticity that made Mu En and Yan Shaozhe truly let go of their scrutiny of him. This was how a young person should be, even if he was a super genius.

Zhu Ziyang, oblivious to all this, continued, "In our Heavenly Soul Empire, you're hailed as the strongest Dragon Soul Master in the world!"

"Heh, just empty fame." Mu En waved his hand dismissively. He had heard such words of admiration countless times, but hearing them from the pure-eyed young man before him still pleased him. He chuckled, "As for you, you truly make this old man envious. The ultimate light attribute! Do you even know that your martial soul is an ultimate martial soul?"

"I know." Zhu Ziyang nodded and said, "My martial spirit told me."

"That saves me a lot of trouble!" Moon wasn't surprised to hear this; super martial souls all possess a nascent consciousness. He said, "May this old man see your martial soul?"

"Okay!" Zhu Ziyang stretched out his right hand, and the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe instantly appeared in his hand. At the same time, three spirit rings also appeared behind him, which looked very dazzling in this not-so-spacious little house.

Just as Zhu Ziyang released his martial spirit, a flicker of emotion appeared in Mu En's eyes, and a hint of doubt arose in his mind. He suppressed this doubt and focused his attention on the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe. The golden battle scythe there greatly shocked him, causing his originally flat-lying body to rise and fall slightly, and his cloudy eyes to widen.

"Light and death, so perfectly fused together!" Moon murmured. "Child, can you tell me the name of your martial spirit?"

"The Scythe of Peace and Destiny".

"Jing Shi Xiu Ming! Jing Shi Xiu Ming! What a good name!" Mu En murmured.

"This is the Death attribute!" This was the second time Yan Shaozhe had seen Zhu Ziyang's Martial Soul. This time, he finally noticed the Death attribute on Zhu Ziyang's Martial Soul. A look of astonishment appeared on his face. In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen a Martial Soul that possessed both the Light and Death attributes. More importantly, the Light was actually the Ultimate Light!

"Teacher, this..." He couldn't help but look at Mu En, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Mu En.

Mu En looked intently at Zhu Ziyang, his initial hesitation instantly vanishing. He said, "Child, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

He saw not only the supremely bright and holy purity of Zhu Ziyang's martial soul, but also the unique cold and desolate nature of the death attribute. More importantly, this death attribute was so pure, lacking not only the bloody and evil aura of evil soul masters, but even faintly shimmering with the majesty of judgment and sentencing! He instantly realized that once Zhu Ziyang grew up, it would be the end of evil soul masters on the continent! In that case, what existence could threaten Shrek Academy's position?

"You want to take me as your disciple?!" Zhu Ziyang stared blankly at Mu En with an incredulous expression.

"Silly boy, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and become my apprentice!" Yan Shaozhe was very happy to hear Mu En's words, and then patted Zhu Ziyang's arm, urging him with a smile.

"Oh, oh!" Zhu Ziyang exclaimed excitedly, kneeling down without hesitation, kowtowing, and respectfully saying, "Disciple Zhu Ziyang greets Master!"

"Hahaha!" Seeing this, Moon finally couldn't help but burst into a hearty laugh of relief. He couldn't remember the last time he had laughed so happily, but he was certain that he was truly joyful now, so joyful that he sat up abruptly, stretched out his hand, and called out, "Good, good, good boy, come here!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang straightened up and walked closer to Mu En.

Mu En extended his withered hand and took Zhu Ziyang's hand. Zhu Ziyang then felt a gentle yet powerful soul force enter the meridians of his hand, then flow through his limbs and bones. He was startled, seeing Mu En radiating a faint golden light, looking at him kindly. He relaxed involuntarily, naturally closing his eyes, feeling the soul force expand and solidify within his meridians.

Upon seeing this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but reveal a look of envy in his eyes. A level 99 Limit Douluo undergoing a marrow cleansing and meridian tempering—this was a treatment he hadn't even received back then! It seemed that his teacher truly valued his newly promoted junior brother!

Thinking this, he silently left the wooden house and went to gather the elders. The fact that the master was accepting disciples again after a hundred years was definitely something that the Sea God Pavilion should take seriously.
