Chapter 23 Old Master Mu's Summoning
After waiting quietly for a while, Yan Shaozhe spoke up, "Dean Qian's words make a lot of sense, but this child's martial soul is both a top-tier Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul and a rare, ultimate ice attribute. I believe that such a promising talent should be kept in the Martial Soul Department for full-scale cultivation. I guarantee that in the future, the academy will have another Title Douluo who is expected to reach the limit realm. 💜♢ 6➈𝕊ᕼǗא.𝔠Øм 🍭✌"
Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent. Limit Douluo was a being who stood at the pinnacle of the continent, capable of changing the course of the continent's power single-handedly.
Just as Xian Lin'er's eyes could kill, Xuan Laosan finished his chicken leg in a couple of bites and put down his wine gourd.
He coughed slightly and said, "I understand what you mean. I've also seen Ye Nanxiao. Putting aside his talent for soul tools, a martial soul like the Nine-Tailed Fox is very rare, belonging to the top-tier martial souls, and it's also the ultimate ice attribute. I've also watched the recording of the freshman competition that Shao Zhe gave me. I have to say that this kid has a very good battle mind, and his soul skill control ability is first-class. I wonder if any of you have any knowledge about the Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul. It's at its strongest when it has nine tails. Just at the Super Douluo level, it can fight against Limit Douluo."
Everyone fell silent. For a Super Douluo to withstand a Limit Douluo, his martial soul alone was terrifying. What if his ultimate attributes were developed perfectly?
"And have you looked into this child's situation? It seems he's an orphan and is currently living with Jiang Nannan's family." After saying this, Elder Xuan took a sip of wine.
Sitting opposite Elder Xuan, Elder Lin smiled slightly and said, "Elder Xuan, you've gone off-topic. We can investigate the child's situation, but the purpose of our meeting today is to decide on his future cultivation path."
Elder Xuan chuckled and said, "Of course it's better for him to stay in our Martial Soul Department. No matter what his background is, as long as he has an ultimate Martial Soul and ultimate attributes, then staying in the Martial Soul Department to cultivate is obviously the best option. Besides, I'm also short of people here."
Xian Lin'er immediately objected, barely suppressing the urge to slam her fist on the table, and said, "Elder Xuan, that's a bit unreasonable. Our Soul Guidance Department has always been short-staffed, and our academy's Soul Guidance Devices are not yet fully developed; we need talented people!"
Qian Duoduo chimed in, "I'm willing to go all in on this child. If I can't complete the Ultimate Individual Soldier Project with him, I'm willing to resign from my position as the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department."
"Old Qian!" Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened, not expecting Qian Duoduo to be so resolute.
Elder Lin shook his head and said, "Elder Xuan, this is not appropriate. Duo Duo is right. The Soul Guidance Department has always been short of talent. With the talent that child has shown, he is already qualified to become a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department."
Elder Xuan curled his lip and said, "As far as I know, Ye Nanxiao is still a first-year student. He hasn't even finished learning the basics of the Martial Soul system. The foundation of a Soul Master is very important. Besides, Ye Nanxiao only wants to complete a Soul Tool at the moment. Can you say that Ye Nanxiao is very interested in Soul Tools?"
"Oh?" Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly said, "Isn't that right, Lao Qian?"
Qian Duoduo was momentarily speechless, stammering, "Indeed, I heard from Fan Yu that Ye Nanxiao was running around the Soul Guidance Department every day because he wanted to complete a Soul Guidance Device." He was slapped by Xian Lin'er as soon as he finished speaking.
An elderly man sitting below Elder Lin shook his head and said, "Elder Xuan, there's no point in saying that. I know more about Soul Masters than you do. To demonstrate at least the strength of a Level Two Soul Master right from the start is something I've never heard of before. I doubt even the Sun Moon Empire has ever had a student like this. Besides, the Ultimate Individual Soldier was something we jointly approved at the Sea God Pavilion meeting. Now that Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo want to achieve this together, we should encourage them. Moreover, Ultimate Martial Souls will always remain in our academy, and it'll be the same in the Soul Guidance Department, right?"
Elder Xuan curled his lip and said, "If such a genius doesn't stay in the Martial Soul System, are we going to let him be buried in the Soul Guidance System? Besides, Ma Xiaotao is infinitely close to the Ultimate Flame, and Ye Nanxiao, who possesses the Ultimate Ice, can help Xiaotao cultivate. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Yes, the ultimate ice attribute is extremely helpful for Xiao Tao's cultivation."
Xian Lin'er couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Elder Xuan, how can you say that our Soul Guidance Department is burying talent? If that's the case, then what about the future of our Soul Guidance Department?"
"Alright," said Elder Mu, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Stop arguing. Since he has such high talent in soul tools, and also possesses extreme attributes and a top-tier martial soul, why don't you let Ye Nanxiao make his own decision? Although extreme attributes are rare, even once in a hundred or a thousand years, then again, it doesn't matter whether this child stays in our academy or in the martial soul department or the soul tool department."
Before Yan Shaozhe could say anything more, Old Master Mu waved his hand and said, "Meeting adjourned."
Helpless, Yan Shaozhe had no choice but to disperse with the others.
"Shao Zhe, bring this child to see me," Elder Mu's voice rang out.
Yan Shaozhe snapped back to reality, and Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er's faces immediately turned ugly.
Yan Shaozhe was so excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. After responding to Elder Mu, he flew out of the Sea God Pavilion and rushed towards Ye Nanxiao's class.
Ye Nanxiao, the possessor of the ultimate martial soul that everyone was talking about, was currently busy.
Ye Nanxiao pondered how to create a defensive soul tool. After thinking for a long time, he decided to go to the Soul Tool Department to ask Fan Yu for some professional advice first.
Just as Elder Xuan said, Ye Nanxiao went to the Soul Guidance Department only to create a Soul Guidance Device. As for the important matter of combining hidden weapons with Soul Guidance Devices that he had previously discussed with Tang Ya, he should leave it to Huo Gua. Otherwise, if he took all of Huo Gua's business, Huo Gua's ties to the Tang Sect would be much weaker, and how could he then slack off and cling to Huo Gua's coattails?
As Ye Nanxiao walked and pondered, Yan Shaozhe suddenly appeared beside him. Before Ye Nanxiao could even react, Yan Shaozhe tucked him under his arm and led him away.
Ye Nanxiao was confident that Yan Shaozhe would not do anything harmful to the students, so Ye Nanxiao was not disturbed at all by being abducted. He was even thinking about what kind of soul tool to create.
"Cute or good-looking?" Ye Nanxiao wondered.
When Ye Nanxiao finally saw the legendary Sea God Island and Sea God Pavilion, he was still shocked. Before he could even appreciate the grandeur of the Sea God Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe pulled him inside to meet Elder Mu.
Old Mu was still the same as Ye Nanxiao had seen before, lying on a recliner basking in the sun, looking very relaxed.
After bringing Ye Nanxiao to Elder Mu, Yan Shaozhe left.
Elder Mu opened his left eye and looked at Ye Nanxiao. Ye Nanxiao felt a surge of soul power scanning his body several times. He immediately became extremely vigilant. Xue Di was still with him, and he couldn't escape from Dragon God Douluo. However, Huo Gua was also with two other people at the time and nothing happened to him. Could it be that Elder Mu deliberately didn't say anything?
"You possess a very mysterious and powerful force. Is it your own bloodline?" Elder Mu asked gently.
"Could it be that Xue'er wasn't found?" Ye Nanxiao wondered. As for his own Qingqiu bloodline, Ye Nanxiao figured he hadn't been able to develop it much yet, so he simply admitted it.
Ye Nanxiao recounted his bloodline to Elder Mu, truthfully answering Elder Mu's questions about everything except for the fact that it was a gift from another world.
Elder Mu pondered for a moment, then asked with a serious expression, "I sensed considerable malice in that power; perhaps it was repelling my soul power. However, I'd like to know, how would you utilize this power?"
"For my family, for those I cherish," Ye Nanxiao replied without hesitation.
Originally, it was thought that Ye Nanxiao would use this power to stand at the pinnacle of the continent and become a hegemon, but the answer was so simple. Mu Lao opened his other eye and looked at Ye Nanxiao. His gaze gradually became kind. In Ye Nanxiao, Mu Lao saw the same choice he had made back then, for his family and for the people he cherished.
"Little one, I have two requests," Old Master Mu's voice softened once more.
"Please speak, I, Ye Nanxiao, will do my best to do what I can." No matter how proud Ye Nanxiao was, he dared not be casual in front of the Dragon God Douluo.
"I hope that when the academy is in trouble, you will do your best." As expected of Ye Nanxiao, Elder Mu's request was for Ye Nanxiao to protect Shrek Academy.
Ye Nanxiao nodded decisively. The development of the Tang Sect still needed the help of Shrek Academy. If they could establish a good relationship now, the Tang Sect would definitely have fewer troubles in the future.
"Secondly, I hope you can help Xiao Tao." Old Mu laughed, looking somewhat like a playful old man. "Xiao Tao's martial soul is a descendant of the Evil Fire Phoenix of the original Shrek Seven Devils, the ancestors of Shrek Academy. So Xiao Tao is very proud. However, because of the martial soul, the difficulty of Xiao Tao's cultivation increases with her cultivation level. I hope you can assist Xiao Tao in her cultivation."
"No problem, Senior Sister Xiaotao also asked me about it." Ye Nanxiao thought to himself, how difficult could it be to assist in cultivation?
"No, external forces alone cannot solve the problem of the evil fire. We need to help Xiao Tao refine the evil fire." Old Mu's smile became more and more like that of a mischievous old man.
"Refining the Evil Fire!" Ye Nanxiao's lips twitched slightly. How did Ma Hongjun refine the Evil Fire before? Was it because he married Bai Chenxiang?
"Elder Mu, are you playing matchmaker for me?" Ye Nanxiao asked with a wry smile. Being matched with a lover by the Dragon God Douluo was a great pleasure in life.
"I didn't say anything, you did." Old Mu laughed heartily, like a playful child.
Ye Nanxiao felt that Elder Mu's charm was truly great, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
"There are many methods of cultivation, and Nanxiao will do his best," Ye Nanxiao replied seriously.
Old Master Mu waved his hand and said, "Alright, the younger generation has its own blessings."
A gentle surge of soul power carried Ye Nanxiao out of the Sea God Pavilion. As if remembering something, after Ye Nanxiao reached the shore, Elder Mu's voice rang out, "Consider whether you want to specialize in the Martial Soul system or the Soul Guidance system. Of course, you can cultivate both."
Ye Nanxiao was still thinking about Elder Mu's matchmaking. As for whether it was the Martial Soul system or the Soul Guidance system, it was obviously the Martial Soul system, since Jiang Nannan didn't have the talent for the Soul Guidance system.
"What's the method for refining evil fire? It can't be like Ma Hongjun's method of balancing yin and yang, can it? This is a real headache," Ye Nanxiao lamented.
"You could really try that method you mentioned. What do you call it in your memory: building a harem?" Xue Di teased.
"With a big rabbit at home, I want to live a little longer," Ye Nanxiao said, rubbing his forehead.
"It's best not to use that method. Although I am a loving person, I must never be unfaithful," Ye Nanxiao said to Xue Di with a righteous expression. "In order to survive!" He added a sentence in his mind afterward.
Although Jiang Nannan never suggested that Ye Nanxiao could have a few more, Jiang Jia did. However, as a henpecked husband—no, a doting husband—Ye Nanxiao felt it was best to take it one step at a time.
