Chapter 349 Elder Mu Passes Away Shrek Academy, Seagod Island, Seagod Pavilion!
Elder Mu lay quietly on his recliner. A year and a half had passed, and his life force had come to an end. All his white hair had fallen out, and his chest rose and fell only slightly.
No one who came could have guessed that this old man, who seemed to be on his last breath, was actually the Limit Douluo, the Seagod Pavilion Master, and the Dragon God Douluo who had dominated the continent for over two hundred years.
Elder Xuan stood beside Elder Mu, his cloudy eyes filled with sorrow. Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, Cai Mei'er, and the other elders also looked extremely sad.
Outside the Seagod Pavilion, the inner courtyard disciples sat cross-legged in front of the door. Sitting at the very front was a woman of about twenty-five years old. Her long, smooth black hair cascaded down to her waist, her exquisite face was flawless, and her temperament was quiet and gentle, as if she possessed an innate affinity.
This was the senior sister of the inner courtyard, Zhang Lexuan.
Behind Zhang Lexuan were naturally Ma Xiaotao and Han Ruoruo. Two Soul Douluos.
Han Ruoruo, like the former, had joined the Sea God Pavilion, becoming a member.
Behind the three women were all the inner court students, including the old and new teams of the Shrek Seven Devils, as well as other inner court students.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Qiu'er were among them.
Wang Qiu'er was shocked; she never expected that Shrek Academy would hide such a super strong expert, but thankfully, he seemed to be nearing his end.
Unlike the sorrow of the other inner court students, Wang Qiu'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Mu gazed deeply into the underground world's training room. His originally dim eyes had become incredibly clear, turning a deep blue, like the endless depths of the sea. "It seems I won't be able to wait for that little guy to emerge from seclusion. Xuanzi, push me to the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion."
"Alas." Elder Xuan sighed, quickly coming behind Elder Mu and pushing the reclining chair made of golden tree towards the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion.
"Everyone, I'll be relying on you all to assist that young fellow Wu Xuan from now on. He's still young, and he has a spirit that none of us old folks possess. Let him do his thing." Elder Mu surveyed the room, his unwavering words causing the assembled elders to tremble.
"Yes, Elder Mu, please rest assured, we will certainly do our best to assist the new Pavilion Master," the elders bowed in unison.
As the elders walked out of the Sea God Pavilion's gates, the students waiting outside burst into tears upon seeing Elder Mu's demeanor. Even the usually carefree Ma Xiaotao was now crying uncontrollably.
Elder Mu was the pillar and symbol of the entire inner courtyard, and now that he was about to depart, the sorrow of the students was unimaginable.
"Ancestor!" Not far away, Bei Bei knelt down with a thud. Elder Mu was his only remaining family member in the world, and with his last relative about to pass away, the taut string finally snapped.
Elder Mu smiled at Bei Bei: "Silly child, why are you crying? Your Ancestor has been in this world for over two hundred years, almost exceeding the vast majority of humans. Such longevity, isn't that something to be happy about?"
The more Elder Mu said this, the harder Bei Bei cried. Had he been too reckless in holding a grudge against his Ancestor for the sake of the Tang Sect?
Elder Mu raised his hand and patted Bei Bei's shoulder, smiling: "What grudge can remain unresolved between us, great-grandsons? Your Ancestor is leaving soon, so let him do something for you one last time!"
As he spoke, Elder Mu's old and withered right hand gently landed on Bei Bei's head.
While Bei Bei was still in a daze, Elder Mu's gentle voice rang out, "The child is within you. I, Xuanzu, have seen the inheritance of the Light Bloodline. Your Martial Soul is in a semi-mutated state, which is not a bad thing. Let me stabilize the Light Holy Dragon bloodline for you. From now on, you must strive to become stronger and continue on the path of your unique Blue Lightning Light Tyrannosaurus."
Instantly, everyone felt the entire Sea God Pavilion light up, a flash of intense golden light disappearing in an instant. Bei Bei let out a muffled groan and collapsed on the spot. Golden lightning crackled continuously around his body, and his entire body also underwent subtle golden changes.
Just as Elder Mu had said, after this, the Light Holy Dragon bloodline within Bei Bei would be completely stabilized. In the future, when he awakens the Light Holy Dragon bloodline, there will be no restrictions.
Zhang Lexuan, with tears in her eyes, was about to reach out to help the unconscious Bei Bei, but Elder Mu raised his hand to stop her.
At Elder Mu's signal, Elder Xuan did not hesitate and directly scooped up Bei Bei and headed deeper into the Sea God Pavilion. The pure light energy there is more suitable for the transformation of Beibei's martial soul.
"Le Xuan, I've seen all your efforts over the years. If you've truly made up your mind, then I'll hand over the position of Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department to you from now on." Elder Mu sighed deeply, his expression complex.
Their previous agreement, now null and void with Zhang Le Xuan's acceptance, was now just a passing cloud. Elder Mu truly hoped Zhang Le Xuan could let go of all her burdens and live for herself. But she was too stubborn; now, he would let her be.
"Elder Mu!!" Tears welled in Zhang Le Xuan's beautiful eyes as she stepped forward, tightly grasping Elder Mu's withered right hand amidst her intense reluctance.
"Elder Mu, my dedication to the academy is entirely my own choice," Zhang Le Xuan murmured softly.
"Ah! Silly child!" Just as Elder Mu was about to say something more, a strange green-gold light shot into the sky from the Sea God Pavilion behind him, followed by a resounding eagle cry that shook the heavens.
A colossal beast, over a hundred meters tall, strode out, its head like an eagle and its body like a lion, its shimmering green-gold scales making it appear exceptionally majestic. As its terrifying soul power spread, even the weaker inner court students were nearly blown away by its aura.
Even Soul Douluo-level students like Ma Xiaotao and Han Ruoruo unconsciously released their soul power to counteract its impact.
This beast was none other than Wu Xuan's Wind Element Martial Soul True Body, condensed using the Descent Secret Technique.
"Hehe, good lad, you haven't disappointed your teacher," Elder Mu chuckled, then a faint golden light quietly bloomed, deflecting the layers of oppressive force.
When everyone regained their senses, a young man in the inner court's red uniform, his figure as straight as a spear, appeared at the forefront.
His handsome, resolute face was framed by eyes as bright as stars, filled with boundless pressure, making it impossible to look directly at him.
This was none other than Wu Xuan, whose spiritual power had just returned to his physical body from the God Realm. As for the descent technique, Wu Xuan had already completed the most difficult first step, and the subsequent steps were simply executed according to the procedure.
"Teacher!" Wu Xuan knelt on one knee and gently grasped Elder Mu's other hand.
"Good child, I am very relieved to entrust the academy to you." Elder Mu smiled, his gaze towards Wu Xuan filled with only relief and gentleness. He had already given his instructions long ago, and now that Wu Xuan could fulfill his expectations before his death, he had no regrets.
"Elder Mu, please rest assured, Ruoruo and I will definitely assist Junior Brother Wu wholeheartedly in the future, and together we will protect the academy!" Zhang Lexuan's expression was full of reluctance, but the determination in her words almost overflowed.
"Hehe! Seeing you all become the new pillars of the academy, I, as the dean, have no regrets anymore. From now on, the academy is in your hands." As soon as he finished speaking, a rich golden light suddenly burst forth from Elder Mu's body.
Wu Xuan and Zhang Lexuan, who were closest to him, were instantly pushed away, and Elder Mu's body slowly floated up from the recliner. Two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red—nine complete spirit rings slowly appeared on his body, and an incomparably loud dragon roar suddenly resounded.
The entire Sea God Pavilion instantly turned a brilliant gold, and a massive golden pillar of light shot into the sky from the Sea God Pavilion, illuminating the entire Shrek Academy, and even Shrek City, in gold.
Bathed in this golden light, Elder Mu's originally hunched body slowly straightened under everyone's gaze, and his aged face was rapidly becoming younger, even his withered body gradually becoming fuller.
Elder Mu's eyes held hope and reluctance as he silently looked at the people before him, raised his right hand, and gently waved.
"The ancestor of Shrek, Mu En, has arrived, hahaha!"
A loud laugh rang out, and the golden light emanating from Elder Mu grew increasingly intense. Another high-pitched dragon roar followed, and Elder Mu transformed into a gigantic white dragon over a thousand meters long, coiling above Sea God Island.
A dense, brilliant golden light made him feel as if he were swimming in a golden ocean. Then, the white dragon shattered, transforming into countless golden specks of light that converged towards the Sea God Pavilion.
Above the Sea God Pavilion, the thick branches of the golden tree trembled violently, as if leaping with joy. Then, most of the specks of light that the white dragon had transformed into drifted towards the golden tree. The aura of light vanished in an instant, and the golden tree, seemingly satisfied, fell silent.
The remaining brilliant golden specks of light left by the white dragon drifted down like dandelion seeds, landing on each inner court disciple in the open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion.
Without needing deliberate meditation or cultivation, these faint specks of light were pure light energy; upon contact with the body, they would automatically cleanse impurities, compress soul power, and make it more condensed.
