Sea God Pavilion Hall.
At this time, the long table in the hall was full of people. Even with Yan Shaozhe's status, he could only sit in the second to last position on the left side of the long table.
"Shao Zhe, what's the matter that made Xuan Zi suddenly gather us?" Sitting in the second position on the right side of the long table was an Old Woman with silver hair and a kind face. She looked at Yan Shaozhe and asked.
"That's right, I still have a pile of things to do!" The Old Woman, with a youthful face and white hair, at the first position on the right, also said with a stern face.
"Old Lin, Old Song, don't rush!" Yan Shaozhe looked helpless. Although he was the dean of Shrek Academy, in front of these elders who were a generation older than him, he really didn't dare to be presumptuous. He said, "Teacher should be coming down soon."
"Mu En is coming too?" Everyone present showed surprised expressions upon hearing this.
"What exactly is it? It actually alarmed Teacher!" The middle-aged woman sitting opposite Yan Shaozhe spoke, her tone carrying both doubt and dissatisfaction. She was also Mu En's disciple, as well as the dean of the Soul Tool Department, a Level 95 Super Douluo, Dragon God Douluo Xian Lin'er.
"That's right, Shao Zhe, don't keep it a secret. Tell us quickly what's going on. You can't let an old man like me, whom you order around, be kept in the dark." Old Xuan, sitting in the first position on the left and gnawing on a chicken leg, also said.
"Actually, it's nothing major," Yan Shaozhe said with a slight smile, "It's just that Teacher has taken in a new disciple, and he wants all of you elders, Junior Brothers, and Junior Sisters to meet him."
"What!" Everyone was stunned, looking at Yan Shaozhe in disbelief, their eyes filled with curiosity and shock!
Who was Mu En? He was the head of the three Limit Douluo of the current era, the Dragon God Douluo! The last time he took a disciple was nearly a hundred years ago, and those disciples were now all seated in the Sea God Pavilion. The last two positions on both sides of the long table, including Yan Shaozhe, were Mu En's disciples.
The elders present were all much younger than Old Mu, and their relationship with Mu En was both that of a teacher and a friend, so they naturally understood what it meant for Mu En to take another disciple.
Unless he encountered a truly astonishing genius, it would be impossible to alarm the semi-retired Mu En.
Everyone present, while surprised, couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
"When did this happen? Why haven't we heard anything about it?" asked the middle-aged man sitting at the end of the right side of the long table. He was Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Tool Department, Oolong Douluo, a Level 94 defense system Titled Douluo. He was also Mu En's disciple and Xian Lin'er's husband.
"That's right, I haven't heard that Old Mu left Shrek Academy recently?" said the old man sitting next to Old Xuan. His face always carried a friendly smile, like a kind old man next door.
"Shao Zhe, are you talking about that first-year freshman who came to the island with you?" Old Xuan, still gnawing on his chicken leg, remembered Zhu Ziyang, who was with Yan Shaozhe earlier, and asked.
"Freshman? Could it be that Zhu Ziyang?" Sitting to Yan Shaozhe's right was a middle-aged woman. She was Cai Meier, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, Xie Douluo, a Level 95 attack system Titled Douluo. She was once Mu En's youngest disciple and also Yan Shaozhe's wife. She thought of the freshman who had reached three rings, mentioned by Du Weilun when he reported his work, and immediately made the connection.
Freshman?! The curiosity of the elders and the deans of the Soul Tool Department was completely ignited. Their gazes, burning with intensity, fixed on Yan Shaozhe. Those fierce looks made Yan Shaozhe feel a chill down his spine.
"Yes." He nodded quickly, and under everyone's curious gazes, he said with a smile, "Zhu Ziyang's Spirit is Ultimate Light!"
"What?!"
"This is truly great news!"
"Haha, heaven bless Shrek!"
"Ultimate Light, no wonder Old Mu would take him as a disciple. It's simply destiny!"
"Oh, Yan Shaozhe, why didn't you say so earlier? We haven't even prepared a welcome gift for our Junior Brother!"
"..."
The elders reacted differently, but ultimately, it was all surprise and excitement.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Tool Department, were also very excited and joyful, but their emotions also carried a hint of helplessness.
The two exchanged glances, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. Shrek Academy had finally made up its mind to develop spirit tools. With Mu En's support and their efforts, the Soul Tool Department had struggled onto the right track. As long as they could get more resources from the Martial Soul Department, then Shrek's Soul Tool Department would certainly be able to develop rapidly, and catching up with the Sun Moon Empire would not be a problem.
At this moment, a possessor of an Ultimate Spirit appeared in the Martial Soul Department. In such a situation, it would probably be difficult to get more resources from the Martial Soul Department.
At this moment, golden light spread at the end of the long table, and all the elders present looked over.
Mu En appeared from the golden light with Zhu Ziyang.
Zhu Ziyang found himself in the hall in just a blink of an eye. While shocked, he admired Mu En even more.
He noticed that the long table, which had been empty when they arrived, was now occupied by many people. Counting them, there were eight in total. Among them, Yan Shaozhe, as the dean of the Martial Soul Department, could only sit at the very end. In front of him were four elders with various sitting postures. He had only seen Old Xuan, who was in the first position on the right.
"Old Mu!" Everyone respectfully greeted Mu En, and at least seven gazes converged on Zhu Ziyang. There was curiosity, closeness, joy, and various other emotions.
"Hmm! Thank you for coming." Mu En still lay flat on the wooden chair, looking at everyone with a gentle gaze, and said, "Shao Zhe should have told you all, so I won't waste any more words. Ziyang."
Zhu Ziyang heard Mu En's call, so he respectfully stepped forward, bowed to everyone on both sides of the long table, and said, "Greetings, esteemed elders. I am Zhu Ziyang, a student in Class Four of the first year. I am 11 years old, a Level 37 attack system Battle Spirit Elder. My Spirit is Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe."
He did not mention that he possessed twin spirits, which was what Mu En also wished. After all, the talent of twin ultimate Spirits was truly astonishing, and Shrek Academy was not without enemies.
Everyone on both sides of the long table smiled and looked at him, their gazes carrying more or less surprise and admiration.
"He's a good child." Old Xuan was the first to speak, "My name is Xuan Zi. You can call me Old Xuan. If you need anything in the academy in the future, you can come to me."
"Old Xuan is one of the vice pavilion masters of the Sea God Pavilion, a Level 98 Super Douluo, with the title Gluttony." Yan Shaozhe spoke to Zhu Ziyang.
"Hello, Old Xuan!" Zhu Ziyang obediently called out.
"This Old Woman is Lin Huiqun. You can call me Old Lin." The Old Woman sitting opposite Old Xuan said. Her face was adorned with a brilliant smile, and her gaze swept over Zhu Ziyang again and again, clearly showing her fondness for him. She extended a hand, and with a flash of light, a reddish-gold jade ring appeared, "Young man, this spirit tool ring will be your welcome gift."
"Old Lin is also one of the vice pavilion masters of the Sea God Pavilion, a Level 97 Super Douluo, with the title Tianhe." Yan Shaozhe said.
"Hello, Old Lin!" Zhu Ziyang greeted Old Lin, but he did not accept her welcome gift and instead looked at Mu En.
"Take it." Mu En said.
"Thank you, Old Lin!" Only then did Zhu Ziyang accept the spirit tool ring, which seemed to be a storage spirit tool, and thanked her.
"Hehehe~" Old Lin smiled even more happily.
"This old man is Zhuang Qingzhai. They all call me Old Zhuang." The old man sitting beside Old Xuan said, and took out a small porcelain bottle, which floated towards Zhu Ziyang under his gaze, "This Hundred Healing Pill is for you."
"Old Zhuang is one of only two healing system Titled Douluo on the continent. His Spirit is the Tree of Life, and his title is Life." Yan Shaozhe continued his role as explainer.
"Thank you, Old Zhuang!" Zhu Ziyang said, catching the floating small porcelain bottle. Although he was not clear about the effect of the Hundred Healing Pill, something given by a Titled Douluo would certainly not be common goods.
"My name is Song Lan. You can call me Old Song." The Old Woman next to Old Lin said, "I don't have anything on me, so I'll give you this Storm Ghost Kite Left Arm Bone."
Old Lin directly took out a Spirit Bone. The light blue glow and the biting wind made Zhu Ziyang a little confused. Was it that casual? This was a Spirit Bone! He had seen three today alone.
Zhu Ziyang subconsciously reached out and took the light blue Spirit Bone. He felt a faint current of air swirling in his palm, which was very comfortable.
"Thank you, Old Song." He thanked her.
"Old Song is the continent's number one agility-attack system Spirit Master, a Level 97 Super Douluo, with the title Divine Eagle." Yan Shaozhe's introduction also came at the right time.
Xuan, Lin, Zhuang, and Song, the four Pavilion Elders, were merely representatives of the Sea God Pavilion elders, not to say that there were only four elders. The Sea God Pavilion currently had more than a dozen elders, each of whom was a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse, which showed how profound Shrek Academy's foundation was.
