While Mu En was cleansing Zhu Ziyang's meridians and bones, Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya were still absorbing their soul bones. At the same time, Beibei, who had already reached the core disciples' dining hall and waited a long time without seeing the three, finally ran out of patience.
He left the dining hall, exited Shrek Academy, and rushed toward Shrek City at an extremely fast speed.
He arrived at a courtyard residence and pushed the door open to enter.
"Young master, you've arrived!" Upon seeing Beibei, the people inside immediately stood up and respectfully greeted him.
"Mm. Why did you call me here so urgently?" Beibei asked directly.
"The item that the ancestor ordered the patriarch to search for some time ago has been found. The patriarch instructed us to deliver it to you personally," the man replied. He retrieved a dark-colored porcelain bottle from his soul tool and handed it to Beibei.
Beibei froze, taking the bottle with a hint of confusion. But the moment he sensed the life aura from within, his face immediately showed shock and joy.
"This is... the Wood Spirit Pill?!"
"Yes," the man nodded. "I've delivered the item. I'll return to report. Goodbye, young master."
The man quickly disappeared, leaving Beibei standing alone.
Beibei recalled what Mu En had once told him.
"That little girl's foundation is damaged. If it's not repaired, her future will be very difficult."
Those words stayed in his heart, and they were the reason he had decided to find the Wood Spirit Pill for Tang Ya.
The Wood Spirit Pill was a high-grade medicinal pill known for healing injuries, stabilizing one's foundation, and nourishing vitality. For plant-type martial soul users, it had powerful effects in repairing and even strengthening their essence.
Naturally, such a pill would be incredibly expensive. Though Beibei was the only son of his family, he didn't have the authority to mobilize such a resource. After his initial request was rejected by his elders, he had no choice but to seek out Mu En.
And clearly, once Mu En had spoken, the pill was delivered right to him.
Beibei eagerly anticipated how much this Wood Spirit Pill would help and improve Tang Ya.

Back at Sea God Pavilion.
A quarter of an hour passed. Mu En finally withdrew his hand, a trace of fatigue flashing across his aged face. But what was more apparent was his joy and excitement.
During the process of cleansing Zhu Ziyang's meridians and bones, he was astonished to discover that his new disciple's meridians were already fully connected—and astonishingly wide and resilient. He was simply born with a body made for cultivation. Mu En couldn't help but expend some extra effort to unblock some hidden and minor meridians to make Zhu Ziyang's future cultivation even smoother.
What truly thrilled Mu En, however, was what he sensed within Zhu Ziyang's body—an aura completely different from that of the Stillness Fate Ending Scythe. That soul power carried a bone-chilling cold and an overwhelming dragon might. This confirmed the suspicion Mu En had held in his heart, making him increasingly excited and more fond of Zhu Ziyang by the moment.
"Haha... truly blessed by the heavens!" Mu En looked down at Zhu Ziyang, who was consolidating his meridians. His eyes were filled with affection, and a hint of excitement colored his wrinkled face.
Another fifteen minutes passed before Zhu Ziyang finally opened his eyes, a look of joy gleaming in them.
He had broken through—his soul power had reached Rank 37.
But that wasn't even the part he was most thrilled about. His meridians and acupoints, already broadened and strengthened by cultivating the Great Light Mantra, had now been refined again. Several narrow or weak meridian junctions had been reinforced, and previously unreachable pathways had been opened. This made his soul power circulate far more smoothly, naturally increasing his cultivation speed.
"Thank you, Teacher!" Zhu Ziyang stood and looked at the weary but kind face of Mu En. His voice was filled with gratitude and respect.
"Haha, seems like you've gained quite a lot. A bit of fatigue is worth it for this old man," Mu En said with a beaming smile. He could clearly feel Zhu Ziyang's aura had strengthened.
"Yes. My soul power rose by one rank. I'm now at thirty-seven," Zhu Ziyang replied with excitement in his voice. He now firmly believed that reaching the Soul Ancestor level—Rank 40—before the age of twelve was entirely possible, especially since he still had an Ascension Pill.
A twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor… perhaps even Shrek Academy's long history had never recorded such a thing!
"Good! Good! Good!" Mu En was equally aware of this point. His expression grew increasingly warm with satisfaction. "I hope you break the Soul Ancestor record of Shrek Academy."
"I will do my best!" Zhu Ziyang said with firm confidence.
"Hahaha, now that's ambition!" Mu En laughed heartily. Then he continued, "Ziyang, if I may call you that—can you tell me your second martial soul?"
"Of course!" Zhu Ziyang answered without hesitation. He had never intended to hide his Twin Martial Souls. On the contrary, revealing them would only bring more attention and resources. He said, "My second martial soul is called the Heavenly Frost Holy Dragon."
"White Dragon?" Mu En raised an eyebrow. "A Light-type true dragon?"
"No, it's Ice-type," Zhu Ziyang replied.
"Ice-attribute White Dragon? That's rare," Mu En said with interest. On the Douluo Continent, White Dragons were typically Light-type or Wind-type. Ice-type White Dragons were practically unheard of. He continued, "To be born alongside an Ultimate Light martial soul… this second soul must be extraordinary."
"It is. My second martial soul is also of the Ultimate level—Ultimate Ice," Zhu Ziyang said calmly.
"You… what did you just say?" Mu En shot up from his seat, his hunched body trembling slightly. He stared at Zhu Ziyang in disbelief.
Few things could shake the legendary Dragon God Douluo to this degree.
Zhu Ziyang didn't respond with words. Instead, he smiled faintly and released the projection and aura of his second martial soul.
A massive, pure white dragon emerged behind him. Its frost-white wings spread wide, and a biting chill instantly filled the entire wooden room. The temperature dropped several degrees in moments.
"Incredible…" Mu En gazed at the phantom of this super beast martial soul. Feeling the immense frost aura, his heart was shaken beyond words.
He murmured, "Twin Ultimate Martial Souls… Twin Ultimate Martial Souls! Shrek is truly blessed by the heavens!"
In his heart, Mu En had already placed Zhu Ziyang above all others. This child's talent was unmatched—once in ten thousand years, at least! In all of Shrek Academy's ten thousand years long history, there had been Ultimate martial souls. There had been Twin Martial Souls. But Twin Ultimate Martial Souls?
Only this one.
He was convinced—this child, given time, would ensure that Shrek Academy flourished for the next five hundred, even one thousand years.
Zhu Ziyang's potential might even one day rival the legendary power of the original Shrek Seven Monsters from ten thousand years ago.
"Good child, you can put away your martial soul now," Mu En said warmly, patting Zhu Ziyang's shoulder. "I'm truly grateful that you chose to trust Shrek Academy. I promise—we will not let you down."
"Teacher, you…" Zhu Ziyang was slightly startled but then understood. Just as he opened his mouth, Mu En stopped him.
"Hehe, no rush—let me finish." Mu En smiled. "With your talent, no matter which academy or sect you went to on the continent, you would receive top-tier treatment. That you chose Shrek means you believe in us. So as the Pavilion Master of Sea God Pavilion, I will ensure your expectations are fulfilled."
"I understand, Teacher." Zhu Ziyang smiled as he met Mu En's eyes.
"Hahaha! Excellent!" Mu En laughed heartily. "Let's go. It's time for you to meet the other elders—and your fellow senior brothers and sisters!"
He placed his hand on Zhu Ziyang's shoulder, and in that instant, golden light surged around them, engulfing the surrounding space.
