Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King.

Xuanzi lowered his head, looking at his slightly trembling hands, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How could this be..."

His voice was hoarse, with a hint of raspyness.

"How is this possible... I still can't break through?"

He closed his eyes and looked inward at himself. His soul power was much stronger than before, which was indeed an improvement.

But it's still level 98, with an extra soul bone and a new soul skill.

There is nothing else.

That bottleneck leading to the ninety-ninth level remained completely still.

Xuanzi remained silent for a long time.

"Why..."

"With my cultivation level, I should have broken through to level 99 long ago..."

Xuanzi was naturally aware of his weaknesses.

Soul power control, mental power control.

These two things have always been his weaknesses.

His soul power was sufficiently abundant, and his cultivation was sufficiently profound. He had reached the peak of level ninety-eight long ago.

However... he was unable to condense a second soul core because he could not accurately control his soul power and mental power.

That soul bone could only enhance Xuanzi's soul power, and Xuanzi knew this, but he still harbored delusions, thinking that he could break through to level ninety-nine simply by relying on a soul bone.

"What a waste..."

A deep sense of self-reproach welled up in Xuanzi's heart.

“A precious soul bone…and I just wasted it like that…”

Suddenly, the image of Moon's aged face flashed into his mind. If Moon were still alive, he would see him wasting his soul bone like this...

"They'll definitely scold me..."

"Mr. Mu... you could scold me a few times if you wanted..."

His eyes reddened slightly as he recalled what Moon looked like when he was alive.

"Elder Mu..."

Xuanzi's voice trembled slightly.

"Now that you're gone... who will dare to scold me..."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

After an unknown amount of time, Xuanzi opened his eyes again. Now was not the time to sit here and wait to die. He had to break through to the Limit Douluo level as soon as possible and become a pillar of Shrek Academy!

"Once I successfully condense my second soul core and break through to the Ultimate Douluo..."

"My strength will see a significant increase." (The original work did not mention the time it took for the second soul core to condense, but when I broke through to level 99 and met Di Tian, ​​Di Tian was surprised, so it should have been condensed during the year and a half that I took the Qiankun Creation Pill.)

If he wanted to break through to the next level, he would need to rely on external objects, and they couldn't be ordinary ones. Xuanzi quickly thought of the Dragon Pill in Mu En's hand.

"To whom did Elder Mu entrust the Dragon Pill before his death?"

Alas... Mu En ultimately lost faith in himself. If he had been given the Dragon Pill, perhaps he could have broken through his limitations. Mu En was truly confused before his death.

Of course, Xuanzi might not know how useful what he just said would be, but for Xuanzi, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he would still try. Just like the soul bone, it might not be useful, but it might be useful. Even if the final result was that he could not break through to level ninety-nine, it would still be considered as an increase in his strength.

"Someone come here!"

Xuanzi shouted, and a figure hurriedly walked in from outside the cultivation room.

"Elder Xuan, what are your orders?"

"Go and inform all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion."

Xuanzi said in a deep voice.

"A meeting will be held at the Sea God Pavilion in one hour."

"Yes!"

The man accepted the order and left.

Xuanzi stood there silently for a moment, then took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the cultivation room, and strode out.

........

An hour later, at the Sea God Pavilion.

The various members of Poseidon Pavilion arrived one after another.

Mr. Song, Mr. Lin Huiqun, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Yan Shaozhe, Mr. Qian Duoduo...

Familiar faces all wore solemn expressions at this moment.

On both sides of the table, eyes invariably fell on the chair next to the head of the table.

That chair originally belonged to Moon.

Now, it's empty; no one sits there.

At the very end of the long table, a young boy sat quietly.

Beibei's face was calm, her back was straight, and her hands were placed on her knees.

He seemed out of place among the elderly sages around him.

But he did not back down. His gaze lingered on the four trees, while a complex feeling welled up in his heart.

He has just obtained his fourth soul ring, becoming a four-ring Soul Master, while the lowest level here is Title Douluo.

To be honest, it's a bit ridiculous for a fourth-ring Soul Master like him to be sitting here.

But he had to come because he was appointed by Mu En as the next head of the Sea God Pavilion.

Even if he lacks the strength, even if he lacks the experience, even if no one listens to what he says...

He also has to sit here.

What if... Xuanzi does something stupid again?

Beibei clenched his fists inside his sleeves; he had to keep his eyes peeled.

Old Song sat at the head of the table on the left, his gaze falling on the empty chair next to the main seat, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Old Mu is gone. The old man who held up Shrek Academy is gone.

She glanced at Beibei at the end of the table, then at Xuanzi opposite her, and sighed inwardly.

“Xuanzi”.

"Why did you call this meeting?"

Her expression was complex, and there was a hint of anticipation in her heart.

Hopefully... it's a good thing.

For example... Xuanzi used that soul bone to break through to the level 99 Limit Douluo?

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiqun and the others turned their attention to Xuanzi, hoping that he could bring good news. After all, Shrek Academy had not heard any good news since Moon's passing.

Xuanzi sat at the head of the table on the right, feeling the stench of blood.

“I have called you here because there is something I need to tell you.”

"That soul bone... I have already fused with it."

Old Song's eyes lit up slightly.

"What was the result?"

Xuanzi paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"It failed."

After saying these words, Xing Shunhui thought to himself, "What a waste of a soul bone!"

Of course, no one dared to bring it up, since with an extra soul bone, Xuanzi gained an extra soul skill, which could be considered an enhancement of Shrek Academy's strength.

Old Song was filled with disappointment. If only he could break through to level 99, but unfortunately... he couldn't do it.

Lin Huiqun frowned and asked.

"Xuanzi, have you tried to harness the power of the Golden Tree?"

If Xuanzi can mobilize the power of the Golden Ancient Tree, then he will be able to put up a fight when facing a powerful enemy.

"No, after Elder Mu died, the power of the Golden Tree seemed to be sealed off, and I cannot access even a fraction of it."

Xuanzi's words were hardly good news; they even suggested that the man was being treated with extreme malice.

"Therefore, I have convened the Sea God Pavilion meeting today in the hope that you can lend me a hand."

Old Song raised his head and looked at Xuanzi.

"Help you? Help you with what?"

"Help me break through level 99."

After saying that, Xing Si was taken aback, looked at each other, and then asked a question.

"How can I help?"

Having received the message, he continued speaking.

"I need you to do something for me, to find something, a Dragon Pill. It was something that Elder Mu owned, but I don't know where it is now."

"Old Mu once told me that he found that Dragon Pill in an ancient ruin, and after a hundred years of nurturing, it has become very mild."

"If I could obtain the Dragon Pill, perhaps... it would allow me to break through to the Limit Douluo level in one fell swoop."

His gaze swept over the bloody scene.

“I know you might think I’m delusional.”

"But... even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I'll still try."

"Because after Elder Mu left, I became the pillar of Shrek Academy."

"I cannot fall."

"Shrek Academy cannot fall either."

Old Song remained silent for a long time, then slowly nodded, and the other elders also expressed their opinions.

Beibei also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Xuanzi would bring up some outrageous things during the meeting.

Looking back now, it's not so bad.

"Besides searching for the Dragon Core, there's one more thing I need your help with: launching a dragon-hunting operation!"

Chapter 306: Do you want us to stay, or do you want the fence-sitters to stay?

Upon hearing Xuanzi's words, Beibei was completely stunned. She had thought that Xuanzi had finally settled down, but it turned out that he had come up with some dragon-hunting operation.

What is this thing?

Beibei's brows furrowed tightly, a strong sense of unease rising within her.

At this moment, Elder Yi Xie also turned his gaze to Xuan Zi, his face full of doubt.

"Xuanzi, what do you mean by the dragon hunting operation?"

Old Song spoke first, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

Xuanzi's gaze lingered on the four trees, and he slowly began to explain.

"Elder Mu's Dragon Pill was obtained from a dragon in an ancient site, and it is extremely precious."

"The dragon pill that has been warmed... may be the only one of its kind."

"We are now looking for the Dragon Pill that Elder Mu lost, but no one knows who Elder Mu gave it to, which faction he gave it to, or... where he hid it."

"so--"
