Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

coming!

When he heard the frail old man in front of him say that he wanted to take on a disciple, even though he was somewhat prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

What was his ultimate purpose in coming to Shrek Academy from the Sun Moon Empire?

Become the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy!

Whether it was due to Xu Tianran's coercion or to take control of his own destiny, this was a step he had to take.

What is the most important thing to become the master of the Sea God Pavilion?

To become the disciple of Elder Mu, the master of the Sea God Pavilion!

The Sea God Pavilion's leadership is not based on a hereditary system. Elder Mu is the current Pavilion Master, but that doesn't mean the next Pavilion Master must be a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

This is quite different from the Tang Clan.

Of course, the Sea God Pavilion Master cannot be just anyone chosen; it cannot be a succession through kinship, but must be a strong person!

The training of the strong is personally carried out by the previous Sea God Pavilion Master, which is a very reasonable process.

Therefore, the first step Xu Tianming had to take to become the master of the Sea God Pavilion was to become Elder Mu's disciple!

"Grandpa, who...who are you?"

Xu Tianming asked the question knowing the answer already.

In front of Elder Mu, a shrewd man who had lived for two or three hundred years, he absolutely could not reveal anything suspicious.

In fact, if he could do it, he would even want to seal away some of the memories in his mind.

In that case, there won't be any surprises.

"Me? I'm just an old man..."

Old Mu chuckled softly.

Xu Tianming stood to the side, looking at the frail old man in front of him, a perfectly measured hesitation in his eyes.

He had just won the freshman assessment and was an extremely talented genius. If he immediately agreed to take an old man as his apprentice, it would be quite abnormal.

Either he's stupid.

Either you know something.

Neither of these approaches would be beneficial to him.

Seeing Xu Tianming's hesitant expression, Old Mu closed his eyes slightly, the reclining chair beneath him swayed gently, and his aged voice rang out: "This old man can barely be considered a strong person. If you trust me, I am confident that I can train you to become a strong person."

Although he didn't directly reveal his identity, Elder Mu still gave a hint to avoid Xu Tianming rejecting him outright.

Otherwise, if the Dragon God Douluo were to accept a disciple and the other party refused, it would be rather awkward.

"A strong person?"

Xu Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly and tentatively asked, "How strong is it?"

Old Mu extended his withered hand, his tone light yet imbued with unwavering confidence: "How strong is the strongest expert you've ever seen?"

As the Dragon God Douluo, one of the three Limit Douluos of the present era, he can barely be considered the strongest Soul Master among humans today, and he is quite confident in his strength.

Following the usual pattern, Xu Tianming might say that the strongest expert he has ever seen is a Title Douluo or a Super Douluo, or something similar.

He would reply directly, "I am probably even stronger than the strongest person you have ever seen."

However...

Xu Tianming blinked as he watched Old Mu catch a falling green leaf in his withered hands, and said:

"The strongest I've ever seen possesses god-like strength!"

Old Master Mu's hand froze, and his composure, which he had cultivated over two or three hundred years and remained unmoved even in the face of a collapsing Mount Tai, wavered for a moment.

He looked at Xu Tianming, his eyes wide with astonishment: "You've seen a god?"

As a Limit Douluo, he was practically the number one Soul Master below God. He hadn't even reached the threshold of Godhood yet. Xu Tianming had seen a God.

How is that possible!

Xu Tianming replied matter-of-factly, "I've seen them. Aren't there statues of seven gods at the main gate of the academy? I think many people have seen them."

Elder Mu: "..."

Suddenly, he laughed.

He hadn't felt this speechless for many years, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a few years younger.

Xu Tianming looked at Elder Mu with some anticipation and said, "Grandpa, you're not stronger than those seven, are you?"

Elder Mu laughed heartily, "Those are our seven ancestors of Shrek Academy, each of them a god-like being. How could I, an old man, possibly be stronger than them? However, I can still teach you. So, would you like to become my disciple?"

His laughter sounded very old, but at this moment Xu Tianming could feel a rare vitality in it.

Xu Tianming still didn't agree directly. Instead, he frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Grandpa, I sensed the ball of light you just gave me. Your understanding of the power of light is much stronger than mine. I believe you are very strong, and I believe you will be a good teacher, but I still want to ask..."

His eyes held a hint of anticipation: "Your cultivation level... is it that of a Title Douluo?"

very realistic.

It can even cause discomfort for some people.

Elder Mu raised his eyes, his voice slightly hoarse, and said, "If I weren't a Title Douluo, you wouldn't have become my disciple?"

Xu Tianming shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. In my opinion, becoming an apprentice is a very serious matter, different from having a teacher in school. It requires careful consideration. If your cultivation level is a Title Douluo, I will feel more at ease. If not..."

"If not, I would still become your apprentice, because your expertise in the Light attribute is indeed far superior to mine, and that's something I need to learn. It's just that our future plans will be different."

He was talking nonsense with a straight face.

Upon hearing this, a hint of appreciation appeared in Old Mu's cloudy eyes.

Xu Tianming has a very clear plan for his future, which is almost unheard of among freshmen.

"Hmm, I understand. From this moment on, you are my disciple, my personal disciple!"

Elder Mu spoke directly.

Xu Tianming was taken aback: "You haven't answered me yet."

Elder Mu: "You said you would take me as your master regardless of whether I am a Title Douluo or not, so let's start by becoming masters. As for my cultivation level... you'll find out later."

After saying that, he flipped his wrist, and a jade tablet with a strong aura of light appeared in his hand.

The jade plaque was about an inch long, bright yellow all over, and had no words on it, but it was always radiating a warm and bright aura.

"This is the Radiant Glazed Jade. Your cultivation speed will drop significantly after level 30 for your ultimate attribute martial soul. This thing can help stabilize it a bit."

If it were any other extreme attribute, there's not much Old Mu can do.

However, as the most powerful light-attribute soul master in the world, he still has some foundation after all these years.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Xu Tianming's eyes lit up as he took the Bright Glazed Jade from Elder Mu's hand.

As soon as he got his hands on the bright yellow jade pendant, he felt a warm energy spreading through his meridians to his limbs and bones.

Although it couldn't restore his cultivation speed to normal, it did significantly increase it!
