The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Whether it was due to the influence of the soul core or not, the original solid gold and silver dragon scales between Xu Zihuang's eyebrows melted away and turned into overlapping gold sun patterns and silver moon patterns.

The integration of the soul core caused these patterns to light up layer by layer, extending from the center of his brow outwards and quickly spreading across his entire forehead. Because of these changes, his two spiritual seas surged as if infused with vitality.

Her long black hair moved on its own, billowing up without any wind.

The unexpected events that Elder Xuan had feared did not occur. Although Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea endured immense pain during the fusion of the soul core, it remained within his tolerance.

In terms of physical strength and mental power, he is no weaker than ordinary Title Douluos. Furthermore, his Golden Eye Martial Soul grants him control over spatial power, allowing him to maintain his Soul Core in a stable state.

Suffering was certainly unavoidable, but his willpower was strong enough.

Of course, from Elder Mu and Elder Xuan's perspective, Xu Zihuang's ability to fuse with the soul core so smoothly was inseparable from the golden sun pattern and silver moon pattern on his forehead and brow.

"What is this?" Elder Xuan frowned once again at the unexpected turn of events involving Yu Tianhuang. He was speechless; he realized that even describing this kid as exceptionally gifted was somewhat inappropriate.

He has all sorts of opportunities coming together, he is simply a child favored by heaven.

"Legend has it that the Dragon God, born from absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, later split into the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon. The Golden Dragon inherited the radiance of the sun, which gradually transformed into ultimate power, while the Silver Dragon absorbed the radiance of the moon, which gradually transformed into the ability to control multiple elements. These changes should be related to the external soul bone between Tianhuang's eyebrows," Elder Mu murmured with a smile.

His view was similar to that of Elder Xuan; they both believed that Yu Tianhuang was the chosen one of this era and was destined to stand at the pinnacle of this era.

The arrival of such a chosen one at Shrek Academy is truly a blessing for Shrek.

Neither Elder Mu nor Elder Xuan knew that while the golden sun and silver moon patterns on Xu Zihuang's brow and forehead were certainly related to the dragon scale, there was another extremely important point.

That is, Xu Zihuang is a direct descendant of the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. Although part of his second martial soul comes from the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon martial soul of the Sun Moon Empire royal family, he possesses pure Sun bloodline and Silver Moon bloodline within him.

His ability to absorb the bloodlines of silver and gold dragons is undoubtedly related to this.

Both the Sun and the Silver Moon are powerful martial spirits passed down within the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire. However, the Silver Moon martial spirit has been lost in the Sun and Moon Empire for over a hundred years, and even Xu Zihuang himself is completely unaware of it.

Not only were they unaware of it, but his father was also extremely secretive about it back then. In any case, neither he nor He Caitou knew anything about the inherited martial spirit of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, or the Silver Moon, from childhood to adulthood.

It was for this reason that, based on his memories from his previous life, he knew that Kong Deming and Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner court of Shrek Academy, had similar martial souls, but he didn't make too many connections.

Time passed second by second, and the golden sun and silver moon patterns on Xu Zihuang's brow and forehead began to spread all over his body. They spread along his neck to his collarbone, chest, back, and arms.

Even through the obstruction of clothing, these patterns were clearly visible. Within just a few minutes, his entire body was covered with the golden sun and silver moon patterns.

Behind him, a massive golden vertical eye loomed, its pattern mirroring the golden light emanating from the solidified black vortex-shaped soul core. A terrifying attraction emanated from it, frantically devouring the elemental energy of heaven and earth.

Xu Zihuang's consciousness once again sank into that vast starry sky that spanned the long river of time.

All the inner court students and teachers on the entire Poseidon Island, including the elders in the Poseidon Pavilion, were astonished by the commotion caused by Xu Zihuang condensing his soul core.

On the open space in front of a row of wooden pavilions built along the lake on the west side of Poseidon Island.

A woman who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old stood there quietly. Her long, smooth black hair fell to her waist, and her serene and gentle temperament was unforgettable.

It was Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of the inner courtyard. Several years had passed, but time had not left the slightest mark on her face.

She slightly raised her head, gazing in the direction of the Sea God Pavilion. The worry in her eyes dissipated, replaced by a strange sense of unease. Her bloodline and martial spirit showed signs of being activated.

One by one, the female students from the inner academy gathered behind Zhang Lexuan. If Xu Zihuang were here, he would have been able to spot many familiar faces among them.

Before participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, Xi Xi and Ling Luo Chen had crossed paths, as well as Wu Ming, the Golden Crow Saintess who had hunted soul beasts with them in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Tang Ya, Jiang Nan Nan, Ning Tian, ​​and others. Nineteen-year-old Tang Ya and Jiang Nan Nan had both grown into young women, and even the usually cheerful Tang Ya seemed much more composed.

Ning Tian is the same age as Xu Zihuang, and will be seventeen in a little over six months. Her slightly curly, platinum-gold medium-length hair is draped over her shoulders, and because of her martial soul, she has a noble and graceful beauty.

The other two girls beside Ning Tian were also acquaintances.

The two girls are quite distinctive. The girl standing to Ning Tian's right has long, fiery red hair, a delicate yet cold face, and a curvaceous figure that gives her a strikingly beautiful appearance.

The girl standing to Ning Tian's left, however, presented a stark contrast. Her hair was light green, and her dark green eyes exuded gentleness.

The two girls are Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, who recently entered Shrek Academy's inner courtyard. Both of them had crossed paths with Xu Zihuang before.

There is another person whom Xu Zihuang is also quite familiar with.

Xiao Xiao.

Xu Zihuang went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for an exchange program, and Wang Dong dropped out of Shrek Academy. Originally, among Xu Zihuang's graduating class, Xiao Xiao, with her twin martial souls, was the most talented. It was only natural that she would be admitted to the inner academy.

Xiao Xiao still looked like she hadn't developed yet, but she was almost a head taller than before. Her body curves didn't show much feminine feature, but her face became more and more beautiful as her features matured.

She had a vague affection for Xu Zihuang back then, and because of this, she and Ning Tian didn't have much interaction after she entered the inner courtyard. She was just standing alone elsewhere.

Tang Ya approached Zhang Lexuan with a worried expression and asked in a sorrowful voice, "Sister Lexuan, is that Old Master Mu?"

The students in the inner courtyard all knew that Elder Mu was about to pass away, and as soon as these words were spoken, all eyes fell on Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan gently shook her head. She was certain that the commotion just now had nothing to do with Old Master Mu.

The same situation also occurred in the male student accommodation area east of the Poseidon Pavilion.

Among those familiar to Xu Zihuang were Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Chen Zifeng, and Gongyang Mo, as well as Dai Huabin and Xie Huanyue, who had recently been admitted to the Inner Academy.

Not long after they arrived at the open space, Elder Xuan's heavy voice rang in the ears of each of them.

Beibei clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably, while Xu Sanshi silently placed his right hand on Beibei's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, all the students of the inner academy walked towards the Sea God Pavilion in a somber and sorrowful atmosphere.

There is only one mountain path leading to the Sea God Pavilion. The male and female trainees gathered at the entrance, a large group of dozens. Beibei saw Tang Ya, and Xu Sanshi also noticed Jiang Nannan.

But given the current situation, Xu Sanshi naturally couldn't pester Jiang Nannan as he used to.

"Beibei?" Tang Ya exclaimed softly, taking Beibei's arm, a little flustered. It was the first time she had ever seen Beibei, who was always gentle and refined, with a faint, warm smile on her face, show such an expression.

Beibei did not respond, but simply held Tang Ya's delicate hand tightly.

South of Poseidon Island, another group of people noticed the movements of the Poseidon Pavilion and the inner disciples of Shrek Academy.

Leading them were the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, along with eight other exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. However, they were ultimately outsiders, and Elder Xuan's message would not be relayed to them.

"Go back and cultivate." Elder Ma, the team leader, gave a low shout. He had communicated with Elder Xuan and knew some of the details.

The other eight students exchanged glances, and out of respect for Elder Ma's authority, they had no choice but to disperse. Only Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the brother and sister who had learned part of the truth from Jing Hongchen, remained standing there, their eyes lost in thought.

"After such a change, will you come back?"

Although the brother and sister cared about different things, their thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Mu gazed at Xu Zihuang, who had successfully fused with the soul core, and said with a gentle smile, "It seems I won't be able to hold on until then. Xuanzi, please convey my message to Tianhuang. Push me to the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion. Before that, I also have some words to tell you."

"Hey."

Elder Xuan responded and quickly came behind Elder Mu, pushing the reclining chair made of golden tree towards the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion. His emotions were so intense that his disheveled white beard trembled.

To avoid affecting Yu Tianhuang's fusion with the soul core, Elder Mu deliberately prevented all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, including the four deans Yan Shaozhe, from entering the hall.

At this moment, these elders, who were at least titled Douluo level experts, stood outside the Sea God Pavilion with respectful yet sorrowful expressions.

Behind these elders were rows of inner court disciples sitting cross-legged.

Zhang Lexuan sat upright at the very front, with her hands clasped together except for her thumbs, her eight fingers interlaced, her thumbs touching, and her hands resting on her calves as she sat cross-legged.

Looking at Elder Mu, who was being pushed by Elder Xuan and lying flat on the recliner, her life fading away, two lines of clear tears slid down her perfect, beautiful face.

Back then, it was Elder Mu who helped her avenge herself and brought her to Shrek Academy to raise her. She has extremely deep feelings for Elder Mu.

Elder Mu slowly opened his eyes, which were a deep blue, like the depths of an endless ocean. His previously dim gaze became exceptionally clear. His eyes slowly moved over all the inner courtyard disciples, his peaceful gaze lingering longest on Zhang Lexuan and Bei Bei.

With Zhang Lexuan's inner conflict resolved and Yu Tianhuang displaying such astonishing talent, he truly has no regrets.

"Listen up, all of you. After I'm gone, Xuanzi will inherit the position of Sea God Pavilion Master. As long as he's here, everything will remain the same as before." Elder Mu began his final instructions.

From Elder Xuan all the way to Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Cai Mei'er, and Qian Duoduo.

Meanwhile, Xu Zihuang, who was in the lobby on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion, fell into a strange state of deep meditation.

Consciousness lingered in the endless starry sky and the golden river of time, comprehending the mysteries of this world for months. But in reality, only a moment had passed.

Although fusing soul cores is dangerous, once the danger period is over, the subsequent fusion process usually only takes about half an hour to an hour.

The reason why a Title Douluo goes into seclusion for several months after breaking through is to enter a state of deep meditation, to comprehend the power of the soul core, and to stabilize his realm.

However, Xu Zihuang, relying on the special features of his Golden Eye Martial Soul and three-attribute Soul Core, managed to reduce the time spent in deep meditation by countless times.

Chapter 290 The Passing of Elder Mu

Old Master Mu has already given his instructions to Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Cai Mei'er, and Qian Duoduo.

Seeing the four people choking with sobs, Old Master Mu sighed softly.

"As the head of the Sea God Pavilion, I am issuing one last order."

Upon hearing Elder Mu's words, Yan Shaozhe and the other three quickly composed themselves, their expressions solemn, and together with the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion, they knelt on one knee.

Elder Mu's voice wasn't loud, but it slowly emanated from within the Sea God Pavilion, resounding throughout the entire pavilion.

"After I leave, I will designate Yu Tianhuang as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master. The moment he breaks through to the ninth-ring Title Douluo realm, he will officially take over the position of Sea God Pavilion Master."

"Yes!" the elders replied respectfully in unison.

The inner court disciples present were all extremely shocked and astonished. The Sea God Pavilion Master's status on the continent was incredibly extraordinary. It was no exaggeration to say that even the emperors of the three major empires of the Douluo Continent would have to treat the Sea God Pavilion Master with utmost respect.

It was unprecedented to publicly designate a student as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master in a generational shift.

Those inner court disciples unfamiliar with Yu Tianhuang were not only shocked and bewildered, but also filled with intense curiosity. To be affirmed by a peerless expert like Elder Mu was enough to say a great deal.

If he weren't exceptionally gifted, how could Elder Mu have said those words?

Those familiar with Yu Tianhuang, such as Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Dai Huabin, and Wu Feng, were no exception, as was Ning Tian, ​​who had a closer relationship with Yu Tianhuang. In this atmosphere of surprise and doubt, the sadness that had previously lingered in everyone's hearts seemed to have eased considerably.

Given Old Mu's current condition, he became exhausted after saying these words. He only opened his eyes again after his breathing had calmed down.

"Beibei, Tang Ya, come here."

"Yes, Ancestor."

"Yes, Elder Mu."

Beibei pulled Tang Ya up, her eyes filled with tears, and bowed her head to Old Master Mu.

Hearing Beibei address Old Mu, Tang Ya suddenly realized what was going on.

Memorable scenes flashed through her mind. She vividly remembered every expression and word Beibei uttered when she first met him at Shrek Academy.

Now that I think about it, many things make sense.

Beibei joining the Tang Sect might be an instruction from Elder Mu.

A strong sense of shame rose from the depths of her heart, after all, she had once been dissatisfied with Shrek Academy for turning a blind eye to the decline of their Tang Sect.

"My lineage traces back to Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family ten thousand years ago, who was also the founding ancestor of Shrek Academy. You are the only successor. Although your martial soul only possesses a portion of the power of the Holy Light Dragon and is in a semi-mutated state, this is not a bad thing. The Ancestor is about to leave, and before he departs, he will help you stabilize the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon. From now on, you must strive to become stronger and continue down the path of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."
