A look of satisfaction appeared on Mu En's face as he continued speaking with the students for a while. His main ssage was clear:
"Train hard. Fight for Shrek Academy. If you win the championship, that's great. But if you don't, don't bla yourselves too much."
After so ti, he turned to Bei Bei.
"Bei Bei, co here for a mont. I have sothing to give you later."
"Sothing for ?" Bei Bei was confused, but he still walked over to Mu En and placed his hands on the wheelchair. As Mu En's great grandson, Bei Bei always respected his words.
Of course, that respect only applied as long as it didn't conflict with Tang Ya.
If Mu En ever told him to give up on Tang Ya, Bei Bei knew exactly what he would do pretend to agree on the surface but secretly disobey.
Because in his heart, Tang Ya was too important.
The others were about to leave, but then Mu En said, "You all co too. I have sothing to tell you. But first, we need to go to the Golden Tree."
Monts Later.
Mu En and the group stood before the Golden Tree.
As he felt the radiance of light and life surrounding him, a gentle smile appeared on his old, wrinkled face.
"Bei Bei, the first ti I encountered the Golden Tree, I was shocked by the power of our ancestor, Tang San.
After all, it was Tang San who brought the Golden Tree to Shrek Academy.
Without him, our foundation wouldn't be nearly as strong.
So every student of Shrek Academy should thank him for his great contributions."
Bei Bei nodded.
"Great Grandfather, you're right.
But there's sothing I never quite understood…
Why didn't Tang San bring our ancestor Yu Xiaogang to the God Realm?
If Ancestor Yu Xiaogang had entered the God Realm, maybe… he'd still be alive today."
Mu En paused for a mont before quickly responding.
"Honestly, I don't understand it either.
From what I know, so deities are capable of bringing mortals to the God Realm.
But if Tang San didn't, then he must have had his reasons.
As his descendants, we shouldn't question his decision."
"Alright, Great Grandfather," Bei Bei replied, dropping the subject.
Mu En looked at Bei Bei seriously.
"Alright, Bei Bei.
I am going to stabilize your bloodline.
This will increase your potential, and who knows maybe one day, you'll have the chance to beco an Ultimate Douluo."
The deaths of many students during Surveillance Missions had deeply affected Mu En.
That was why he urgently wanted students to learn Soul Tools at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
If every Shrek student had an Invincible Barrier, perhaps the Death God Envoy wouldn't have been able to massacre them so easily.
Truthfully, Mu En had already wanted to initiate this exchange program.
After all, Soul Masters and Soul Tools would inevitably rge in the future.
Pure Soul Masters would beco the minority.
Besides, in this Soul Dueling Tournant, Sun Moon Empire's display of Nine Tier Soul Engineers was shocking.
Based on Shrek Academy's intelligence, Sun Moon only had three Nine Tier Soul Engineers.
But Xuan Zi had faced three of them at Starlight Auction, and the Sealed God Platform, a Nine Tier Soul Tool, had to be created by soone else.
That ant Sun Moon Empire had far more than just three Nine Tier Soul Engineers.
Shrek's intelligence departnt had severely miscalculated.
Mu En felt it was ti to replace so of them.
Because of a chain of butterfly effects, the exchange program with Sun Moon Empire was moved ahead of schedule.
In three days, Bei Bei would depart for Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy under Yan Shaozhe's leadership.
Bei Bei was startled.
"Great Grandfather, this is the thing you wanted to give ? But… can my bloodline even be stabilized?"
He knew that his martial soul was vastly different from Mu En's.
Mu En's martial soul was the Radiant Holy Dragon, while his was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon strong?
Absolutely.
But there was still a huge gap between his martial soul and Mu En's.
Mu En nodded.
"Yes, of course.
Our lineage traces back to Ancestor Yu Xiaogang, and you are my only successor.
The Radiant Holy Dragon's bloodline exists within you it's just unstable.
So I will stabilize it for you.
From now on, your martial soul will be Blue Lightning Radiant Tyrant Dragon.
I hope you'll carve your own path.
One day, Shrek Academy will depend on you and the younger generation."
"But… what about your health?"
Bei Bei grew anxious.
If stabilizing his bloodline would cost Mu En his life, then he would never agree to it.
Mu En patiently explained.
"Bei Bei, don't worry.
This won't kill .
I'll just be a little weaker afterward, but I won't die."
Mu En's body was indeed failing.
In the original story, he fought Du Busi, Jing Hongchen, and the invading Evil Soul Masters, which drastically shortened his lifespan.
But in this tiline, he hadn't fought them yet.
So stabilizing Bei Bei's bloodline would only weaken him further, but it wouldn't kill him imdiately.
Monts Later.
Mu En's wrinkled right hand landed on Bei Bei's head.
A dazzling golden light flashed.
The entire Sea God Pavilion trembled for a mont.
Bei Bei grunted in pain, his body shrouded in golden lightning, making him look majestic and powerful.
Mu En's face turned deathly pale as his hand slowly fell back down.
His eyes softened, filled with the warmth of an elder gazing upon his descendant.
Monts later, he closed his eyes.
His mind drifted as he reminisced about his entire life.
Soon, he would die and beco one with the Golden Tree.
Perhaps he'd still get to watch over Bei Bei, see him grow stronger, get married, and have children.
As he thought about this…
His breathing slowed down.
Suddenly, an urgent voice echoed in his ears.
"Mu Lao! Don't sleep! Wake up!
If you fall asleep now, you might never wake up again!
What will happen to everyone in Sea God Pavilion?
You still have so many things to take care of!"
Mu En's eyes slowly opened.
Xuan Zi's face was filled with panic, his eyes red with emotion.
It seed like he truly thought Mu En was dying.
For a mont, Mu En was touched.
Despite all his flaws, Xuan Zi had a genuine heart.
"Xuan Zi… I'm fine," Mu En murmured.
"Mu Lao, are you sure?"
Xuan Zi's expression was full of doubt.
Mu En looked so weak, he must be trying to comfort everyone.
If Mu Lao really died…
Would that an he would have to take over as Sea God Pavilion Master?
Mu En sighed.
"I'm just a little weak.
I can still hold on for a while.
I'm not dying just yet."
