Douluo Continent: The Incarnation of a Divine Beast, Sister Huo Yutong!

Chapter 28 The Shock of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion (Please Support!)
Deep within Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island is shrouded in a pale golden mist, solemn and mysterious.

In the heart of the island stands an enormous golden tree that pierces the sky, its lush branches and leaves seemingly supporting a golden dome, each leaf shimmering with the faint light of life.

This is Shrek Academy's greatest foundation, the life source representing the Douluo will—the Golden Tree!

Long-term exposure to the afterglow of the golden tree can not only prolong life, but can even heal hidden injuries in the body. Back then, when Mu En was backfired by the malevolent energy in the Dragon Pill, he was saved by the golden tree.

Beneath the thick roots of the golden tree, a rustic wooden house sits quietly.

The log cabin has no fancy decorations, preserving the simplicity and texture of the original wood. Time has left mottled marks on it, but this only adds to its sense of weight and history.

A faded plaque hangs in front of the wooden house, the three powerful and ancient characters "Sea God Pavilion" shining brightly in the sunlight.

Few people know that the Sea God Pavilion, which represents the pinnacle of Shrek Academy's strength, and even the pinnacle of the entire continent's strength, has such a simple appearance.

"Tap!"

Xuanzi led Zhang Lexuan to the open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion. After tidying up their clothes, they walked straight toward the Sea God Pavilion.

Zhang Lexuan hesitated for a moment, but did not follow Xuanzi into the Sea God Pavilion.

Even as the senior disciple of the inner court, Zhang Lexuan was not qualified to enter the Sea God Pavilion.

According to Shrek Academy's rules, only Super Douluo of level 95 or above, or the academy's dean, are qualified to enter.

Xuanzi walked forward cheerfully, only to find Zhang Lexuan standing still behind him. He quickly smiled and said:

"Little Lexuan, come in quickly..."

"Elder Xuan, I... I am just a Soul Saint!"

Looking at the ancient and solemn Sea God Pavilion, which radiated golden light, Zhang Lexuan hesitated.

"Oh dear, what's this!"

"Come in with me!"

At Xuanzi's invitation, Zhang Lexuan stepped into the gate of the Sea God Pavilion with a mixture of trepidation and excitement.

Contrary to her expectations of grandeur and magnificence, the interior of the Sea God Pavilion maintained the rustic and natural feel of its exterior.

In the center of the small living room sits a long table crafted from the trunk of a golden ancient tree. The table's surface is smooth as a mirror, yet it exudes a natural texture, with faint golden veins visible.

Nine chairs were neatly arranged on both sides of the long table, and there was a main seat at the very front, making a total of nineteen wooden chairs. Each chair represented the identity and status of a member of the Sea God Pavilion.

Xuanzi walked casually to the front of the table, sat down in the chair closest to the head of the table, and then a strong earthy yellow light emanated from his body.

Instantly, a faint golden light rippled within the Sea God Pavilion, and the golden tree shone brightly, with rings of golden light undulating outwards. Invisible spiritual ripples and the unique aura of the ancient golden tree spread outwards.

The elders and several deans of Shrek Academy immediately noticed the fluctuation and rushed towards the Sea God Pavilion.

Soon, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the four deans rushed over.

The group took their seats in turn, but they were unclear about Xuanzi's intentions and why he had convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting with a Soul Saint.

The elders exchanged glances, remaining silent and waiting rather than speaking first.

"Elder Xuan, what happened? Why did you have to convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion?"

Dean Yan Shaozhe of the Martial Soul Department crossed his arms and broke the silence.

Cai Meier, Xian Liner, and the others beside him all focused their attention on Xuanzi, waiting for him to continue.

Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Xuanzi calmly waved his hand.

"Don't worry, everyone, there are still some people who haven't arrived yet!"

As he spoke, Xuanzi turned his gaze to the person in the main seat beside him.

Everyone's hearts stirred, and they all wondered what could have happened that would alarm Elder Mu!
As for Zhang Lexuan, who was seated at the very end, she was subconsciously ignored by everyone.

"Xuanzi, if you don't give me a straight answer today, hmph!"

An old man suddenly appeared in the main seat of the Sea God Pavilion without anyone noticing.

The old man was dressed in plain clothes, thin, with wrinkles etched on his face. His bony joints were faintly visible beneath the faded clothes, making him look like an ordinary old man.

But when the old man appeared, everyone stood up and said respectfully:
"Mr. Mu!"

Indeed, this seemingly gaunt old man was none other than Mu En, the strongest human in Shrek Academy and even the entire Douluo Continent, possessing a cultivation level of ninety-nine. Seeing Mu En looking at him with a half-smile, Xuan Zi felt a chill run down his spine and dared not act foolishly any longer, quickly saying:
"I have convened this meeting of the Sea God Pavilion with some incredibly exciting news!"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time became interested in the good news that Xuanzi had mentioned.

Good news? What good news?
Mu En glanced at Xuan Zi, who was acting mysteriously, and then turned his gaze to the end of the wooden table.

"Le Xuan, you tell us!"

The shrewd and experienced Mu En easily saw through Xuanzi's trick and knew that this good news must be related to Zhang Lexuan.

"No, Elder Mu..."

Xuanzi tried to struggle, but was stunned by a look from Mu En, and lowered his head like a wilted eggplant.

Upon hearing Mu En's words, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan is excellent, but she can hardly be called a surprise, right?

Facing the gazes of numerous Title Douluo and even Super Douluo powerhouses, Zhang Lexuan looked tense, but fortunately she adjusted in time and released her Martial Soul.

Above the silver moon, seven spirit rings floated silently, with the blood-red spirit ring at the top instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Clap!"

Several teacups shattered simultaneously within the Sea God Pavilion, but everyone was too preoccupied to care about the splashed tea, their eyes glued to the red soul ring above Zhang Lexuan's head.

This is... a 100,000-year-old spirit ring?!
If a titled Douluo possessed a 100,000-year soul ring, these elders of the Sea God Pavilion might not be too surprised.

Shrek Academy's foundation is truly too strong. Mu En alone has three 100,000-year soul rings, while Xuanzi, Elder Zhuang, and Yan Shaozhe each have one (personal setting).

If they hadn't signed contracts with spirit beasts, perhaps the ninth spirit rings of Xian Lin'er and other young people would also be 100,000-year spirit rings.

However, if the 100,000-year soul ring is located in the seventh ring, then the significance changes!

The seventh ring is a 100,000-year soul ring, which means that the eighth and ninth soul rings are also at least 100,000-year soul rings.

With Shrek Academy's strong foundation, they could easily mold Zhang Lexuan into the next Moon.

A triple-red Limit Douluo could easily extend Shrek Academy's glory for another five hundred years!

Moon's cloudy pupils suddenly contracted, and his hunched back straightened up involuntarily.

According to Mu En's calculations, Zhang Lexuan's talent was not as good as his at the time, and even if she absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring, she should only reach the eighth ring.

He was eager to know how Zhang Lexuan had succeeded.

It should be noted that even back then, it was only under Shrek Academy's full-fledged training that he managed to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring when he reached the Soul Saint level.

It was this 100,000-year soul ring that widened the gap between him and Long Xiaoyao, who was originally on par with him.

Zhang Lexuan had far fewer resources than he did at the time, so logically, it should have been impossible for him to succeed.

But this just happened, so how could Moon not be curious?
Facing the eager gazes of the crowd, Zhang Lexuan recounted her ordeal in detail.

As Zhang Lexuan continued her story, everyone's expressions grew increasingly strange.

A 100,000-year-old human-faced demon spider?
A level 10 Soul Master with a spatial martial soul?
Spirit fusion, absorbing spirit rings together?
If it weren't for Zhang Lexuan's seventh spirit ring shining there, no one would have believed it at all.

Isn't all of this amazing?
Mu En narrowed his eyes slightly, and after pondering for a while, his aged face inquired about Huo Yuhao's situation.

When he learned that Huo Yuhao was in Shrek City but had not returned to Shrek Academy with them, his sharp gaze fell on Xuanzi, who was standing to the side, grinning.

Xuanzi's body stiffened, and he slowly raised his head.

"Why wasn't that boy brought along?"

"Um... Elder Mu... I didn't just do it on a whim... so..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Mu En's eyes. He waved his hand, and Xuanzi's body disappeared from the spot.

"Everyone else, leave. Le Xuan, stay!"

Zhang Lexuan's heart skipped a beat, but remembering Huo Yuhao's smile, she took a deep breath and stood still.

Just launched, please support it!
