I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

After they were both dressed, Xu Xingyu and Ma Xiaotao prepared to leave the room and let Mu En and Yan Shaozhe know they were safe.

However, when the two opened the door, they found that it was sealed, apparently by Mu En to prevent anyone from disturbing Ma Xiaotao's treatment process.

However, this was not a problem for Xu Xingyu. Having fully recovered her soul power, Xu Xingyu immediately activated the Chaos Core within her body and then used the power of chaos to assimilate the soul power seal covering the door.

Finally, the energy within the seal was devoured by Xu Xingyu's chaotic power, and the seal, deprived of its energy support, was broken, allowing the two to finally leave the room.

After leaving the room, the two learned that Shrek Academy had been attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult an hour earlier, and most people were currently busy dealing with the casualties.

Ma Xiaotao's teacher, Yan Shaozhe, was among those organizing the other teachers to settle the students and address other issues.

Just then, a calm but somewhat deep, aged voice suddenly appeared in Xu Xingyu and Ma Xiaotao's minds: "Please come to the hall to find me."

The voice undoubtedly belonged to Moon. Since the two of them also wanted to talk to Moon, they went directly to the hall of the Sea God Pavilion at his request, where they encountered an unexpected scene.

Mu En lay quietly on the recliner, his face looking somewhat ashen and his eyes lifeless. He was already quite old, and half of his white hair had turned a pale gray.

Beside Mu En was Zhang Lexuan, the recognized senior sister of the inner academy. However, at this moment, the senior sister, who was pursued by countless senior students in the inner academy, had a face full of worry.

This prompted Ma Xiaotao, who was standing nearby, to exclaim in surprise, "Old Mu! What are you doing?!"

Although she hadn't met Mu En many times, Ma Xiaotao knew that the old man in front of her was her grandmaster, and also the highest leader of the Sea God Pavilion, the Pavilion Master.

But why does this pavilion master look like he's about to die?

Could it be that those evil spirit masters who broke into Shrek Academy actually possessed such powerful abilities?

Xu Xingyu, on the other hand, was much calmer. After all, he knew the true strength of the Holy Spirit Cult better than the others. With two Limit Douluo, the Holy Spirit Cult, not counting the Spirit Pagoda, could be considered the strongest sect on the Douluo Continent.

If it were the Dragon Emperor Douluo who made the move, things would be fine; Long Xiaoyao would surely spare Mu En out of consideration for their past relationship. But if it were Ye Xishui, then Mu En would be in trouble.

Seeing the malevolent energy exposed on Mu En's wounds, Xu Xingyu was certain that Ye Xishui was behind it; only she could have inflicted such damage on Mu En.

On the other hand, Mu En was only a half-step into the Earth Realm and a Limit Douluo with a disability. Therefore, no matter which Limit Douluo made a move, Mu En would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

Mu Entu Rannuo started coughing and vomited a mouthful of black blood, prompting Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao to rush forward to help him up.

However, upon seeing this, Moon simply waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this old man. I'm getting old and my health isn't what it used to be. It's only a matter of time before I'm buried."

This prompted Zhang Lexuan to hurriedly say, "How can you say that, Elder Mu! You are the pillar of Shrek Academy. What would Shrek Academy do without you!"

To this, Moon shook his head and said, "How could I not know my own body? Although I repelled Xi Shui and the others with the help of many forces, I also paid a heavy price after this battle."

It's not just a huge price to pay; now Moon says that all the time he has left is to make arrangements for his funeral.

From Xu Xingyu's perspective, Mu En should have been able to live for two or three years, but given his current condition, even with the help of the Golden Ancient Tree, he would have a problem surviving for a month.

Moreover, when it comes to Mu En's life, Xu Xingyu vaguely remembers that in the original work, Mu En merged his soul into the Golden Ancient Tree before he died. If he is also planning to do the same in this life, then Xu Xingyu will have to stop him, since no one would like to see an old man merging with his daughter.

Just as Xu Xingyu was thinking about how to prevent Mu En and the Golden Ancient Tree from merging in the future, a cough interrupted her thoughts.

Mu En looked at Ma Xiaotao and asked, "It seems that Xiaotao's problem with her evil fire has been completely resolved. If possible, could you let me see this so-called Vermilion Bird Martial Soul?"

Ma Xiaotao could only nod silently in agreement to the other party's request and release her Vermilion Bird Martial Soul in front of France.

A crimson bird resembling a phoenix appeared, and everyone present could feel a powerful pressure gradually spreading out, which was much stronger than the phoenix martial soul that Ma Xiaotao originally possessed.

However, what Mu En noticed was the mark resembling a Vermilion Bird on Ma Xiaotao's forehead. He could sense a power as strong as the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal within that mark.

Moon praised, "As expected of the power of the Vermilion Bird, it seems that Shrek will be safe and sound after I leave."

At the same time, Mu En breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that what Xu Xingyu had said before was true. Ma Xiaotao had indeed obtained the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird God in this incident. In that case, it seemed that he should indeed fulfill his promise.

A piece of aquamarine crystal appeared in Moon's hand. Moon handed it to Xu Xingyu and said, "Thank you for this. This is what we agreed on beforehand."

After accepting the crystal, Xu Xingyu said, "Thank you, Elder Mu. I will give it to a suitable owner."

"No, that's not true. You deserve it."

This shocked Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan, who were watching from the sidelines. After all, the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal was the token of the Sea God Pavilion Master!

The two wanted to stop Moon from sending him away, but ultimately they couldn't bring themselves to speak, because it was a deal between the two of them, and if Moon thought it was worth it, then it certainly was.

Then Moon continued, "By the way, there's something I want to apologize to you about."

Hearing this, Xu Xingyu's curiosity was piqued, and she replied, "What is it?"

"Isn't it about that thing I mentioned before, about wanting to take you as my disciple? I injured my soul core in this battle, which has left me half-dead. No matter how much treatment I receive, I can't recover."

"There are very few instances like this where I can teach you, so I haven't tried my best to be your teacher."

Xu Xingyu shook her head and said, "There's no need to feel sorry about this. I understand Elder Mu's current situation. You have more important things to accomplish right now, so it's the right choice to finish them while your body can still handle it."

"Thank you for your understanding." Suddenly, Moon changed the subject, saying, "That being said, if possible, could we make another deal?"
