"Brother Mu Ye, it's been a long time, you've gotten so old..."
"Brother Hongchen, you've also toiled quite a bit these past years..."
After a warm and boisterous welcome and photo session, Feng Zaixing and his group entered the reception room led by Luan Hongchen, and each took their seats.
Luan Hongchen held onto Mu Ye's hand, unwilling to let go, the two like old friends reunited, with much to say.
"Senior Brother, is Teacher very familiar with Dean Hongchen?" Feng Zaixing asked via telepathy.
"Quite familiar."
A Ruheng replied, "Teacher has come here more than once for his Divine Rank mech."
"That's not surprising then."
Feng Zaixing nodded lightly; Mu Ye would do anything as long as the mech was well taken care of.
"Thinking back then, you and I were the twin stars of the mech world, both God-Level Mech Masters, both once renowned far and wide."
Luan Hongchen, appearing to be in his fifties, reminisced endlessly about those glorious years.
Mu Ye sighed with emotion, "Old, old, we're both old now. It's the young generation's era."
"Hahaha! Right! The young generation's era!"
Luan Hongchen pointed to Feng Zaixing and the other two below them, raised his wine glass, and said passionately:
"Our skills and our cause must be inherited by the young generation! Brother, you have such excellent Disciples and successors, and they've come to our Academy, this is truly the happiest thing for me in decades!"
Mu Ye raised his wine glass high: "Bottoms up!"
"Bottoms up!"
The two clinked glasses, and drained their drinks.
"Ah... let's get down to business, get down to business. Zaixing is your Disciple, Brother. What kind of teaching arrangements do you think would be best for him at the Academy?"
Luan Hongchen smacked his lips, his expression becoming a bit more serious.
Mu Ye pondered, "He Cultivates many things, so ordinary courses aren't suitable. A bit more freedom would be better."
Luan Hongchen smiled and nodded, "That's right. Zaixing has achieved Minor Achievement at a young age. I've already assigned the most elite teachers to the first year. Both the head and assistant homeroom teachers are Titled Douluo and three-word Battle Armor Masters. What do you think?"
Mu Ye's eyes lit up: "That's very generous."
A three-word Battle Armor Master Titled Douluo is at least equivalent to a Rank 96 Super Douluo; Shrek's Outer Court teachers are generally only two-word Battle Armor Masters with six or seven spirit rings.
"Oh, that's nothing." Luan Hongchen raised his hand and said earnestly:
"To be honest, we've been holding back for years, determined to find the most top-tier Geniuses in the entire federation to compete with Shrek."
"A Genius like student Zaixing is hard to find. I will spare no effort to meet any of his needs."
Changing the subject, he chuckled, "So, Brother, are you interested in being an honorary member?"
Mu Ye immediately looked troubled, "I am the Body Sect Master, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate. Just take on the title of Honorary Dean, and it'll be enough to deter petty individuals."
Luan Hongchen quickly said, "If you take on the title, all non-confidential information within Mingde Hall will be available for you to browse. Confidential information requires Brother Kong's consent, but I don't think Brother Kong will stop you."
Mu Ye's eyes gleamed brightly: "Then I shall respectfully obey!"
Luan Hongchen's eyes immediately crinkled into a smile, and he then set his sights on A Ruheng:
"Brother Mu Ye, your Senior Disciple clearly looks like a master capable of holding off a thousand men. Why not let him be a combat teacher?"
Mu Ye was stunned: "Are you trying to empty out the core of my Body Sect?"
Luan Hongchen laughed heartily: "Our Academy isn't an independent kingdom like Shrek. We all work for the federation, so you're completely free to come and go."
"I can't make that decision; it's up to him." Mu Ye looked at A Ruheng.
A Ruheng rubbed his bald head, looked at Feng Zaixing, and said, "I'll follow Junior Brother's lead."
Feng Zaixing's action of drinking tea paused immediately.
Luan Hongchen stroked his beard and smiled faintly, his gaze at Feng Zaixing growing deeper.
It seems this second Disciple is the true successor of the Body Sect.
"You guys are making such a fuss..."
Feng Zaixing gave a wry smile and then offered a pre-emptive warning: "My Senior Brother is very skilled in combat. There might be accidents during sparring. Dean, are you and the others okay with that?"
"If an accident truly happens, all medical expenses will be reimbursed!" Luan Hongchen declared with great Spirit.
"My Senior Brother Cultivates the Sect's secret techniques, which consume a lot of resources and also require sufficient space..."
"The Academy never lacks resources or space! Meals and accommodation are provided!"
"Then, Senior Brother?" Feng Zaixing winked at A Ruheng.
A Ruheng stood up and, somewhat guilelessly, said to Luan Hongchen, "Dean, we'll be eating here from now on."
"Hahahaha... With your addition, the Academy will be like a tiger with wings. Even my report to the federation this year will be much easier to write."
Luan Hongchen was overjoyed, then said, "Oh, right, last time you asked me to contact the Emperor Sword Douluo of the War God Hall. Do you still have Sword Cultivators? Why haven't I seen them?"
"Well..." Mu Ye's gaze fell on Feng Zaixing.
"What does this mean? Impossible, right?"
Luan Hongchen's eyelids twitched, a crazy thought surged in his mind, and his heartbeat quickened considerably.
Feng Zaixing smiled faintly and stood up, taking two steps forward. Two spirit rings rose simultaneously beneath his feet, and the second spirit ring, purplish-black, shone brightly.
"Blood Soul Spirit Refining!"
Golden flame burned, and crimson blood Qi erupted, intertwining and colliding in Feng Zaixing's palms, merging into two three-foot-long swords. The sword handles were slender, the guards were lifelike tiger heads that swallowed the brightly shining sword blades.
"Roar—" "Clang~ Clang!"
The light and shadow of the Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger condensed behind Feng Zaixing, surging into the twin swords, unleashing a mighty tiger roar that seemed to pierce the Soul, followed by a clear, resonant sword cry.
Luan Hongchen's eyelids trembled, the twin swords contained an extremely fierce will.
The spines of the twin swords were branded with grooves like flowing lava, and the blades were like sharp tiger teeth, crossed and inverted, spewing forth sacred golden flames and surging with powerful blood Qi.
In an instant, Feng Zaixing's demeanor changed dramatically. His smile exuded calm confidence, golden light enveloped him, his pupils turned bright gold, and within them, sacred flames seemed to flow, as if a born king had descended, looking down on all heroes.
The Heaven and Earth elemental energy resonated with him, continuously surging into his body with his breathing.
Luan Hongchen's pupils constricted, man and sword as one!
"Hiss hiss..."
A sharp and vast spiritual will enveloped Feng Zaixing within a radius of a zhang, and the air crackled with explosive sounds of being cut and rubbed. This was clearly the Sword Intent that all Sword Cultivators pursued, the Sword Intent of the King's Path!
"My second Spirit Ability, Blood Soul Spirit Refining, condenses blood Qi and spirit power to materialize any combat weapon outside my body. The burning effect of extreme fire and the suppression effect of light spirit power are increased by 300%. The combat weapon deals true damage, directly destroying and dissolving human tissue."
Feng Zaixing spoke slowly, his magnetic voice carrying a convincing charm.
Na'er's purple eyes sparkled, staring intently at Feng Zaixing, reflecting that calm yet confidently radiant Face.
At this moment, she remembered a certain great silver Dragon, instinctively comparing the two.
The result was the great silver Dragon's complete defeat. Na'er unconditionally sided with Feng Zaixing.
On one side was an older brother who doted on her like a younger sister, and on the other was an unscrupulous scoundrel who wanted to force a fusion. She firmly resisted the unscrupulous act of forced fusion!
Who would do such a morally corrupt thing if they were a decent person!
"Young man, you, you try attacking me, use your full power."
Luan Hongchen's words lost their composure. Spirit light condensed behind him into a magnificent golden toad, with six black and three red spirit rings encircling its body.
"My apologies for the offense."
Feng Zaixing accepted, his first spirit ring flashed, and his body disappeared the next second. Golden light spread across hundreds of square meters. Feng Zaixing and his twin swords merged into one, transforming into a streak of extremely fast, astonishing light.
At the sharp edge of the sword, a three-foot-long cross-shaped sword glow erupted, as if a Sword Dao King had descended from the sky, slaying all evil. The French windows on both sides emitted crisp shattering sounds.
"Good!"
Luan Hongchen praised, then pulled a golden round shield from his embrace. With a flick, he blocked the cross-shaped sword glow and the overwhelming Sword Qi.
However, the next moment, the round shield shattered with a bang, and the surging Sword Qi churned endlessly in the air.
"Boom!"
Luan Hongchen released his spirit power to obliterate the Sword Intent, his brows revealing boundless joy:
"A king's Sword Intent, almost tangible! So sharp! I have never seen such a Heaven-blessed Genius in my life! One strike shattered a Rank 4 Soul tool shield. No one in our Academy below four rings could block it, and Shrek should be the same!"
"This student mainly Cultivates twin swords and secondarily bows and arrows. I ask Dean to keep this a secret for me."
Feng Zaixing sheathed his swords, his demeanor returning to normal, and bowed respectfully.
"Secret, absolutely secret. I swear by my Spirit that I will not speak of this matter."
Luan Hongchen liked Feng Zaixing more and more the more he looked at him. He suddenly said, "Nephew, why do your moves remind me somewhat of the Angel Family?"
Feng Zaixing slowly said, "I am distant relatives with them."
Luan Hongchen's eyes widened instantly: "I understand why you've been hiding. It is right to hide, it is right to hide."
"Hehe, decades from now, those Evil Soul Masters will Face their most terrifying opponent in history."
"Divine Archer Feng Zaixing, he is both a Divine Archer and a Divine Sword!"
...Tianling City, a medium-sized city between Heaven Dou City and Mingdu.
Yu Minglong and Ning Yue found and defeated two Spirit Elders in the urban area, recorded a video, rushed into the Soul train station, and headed to the next city.
Shen Yi followed secretly, when her Soul communication device suddenly rang urgently.
Connecting the call, Shen Yi showed a very respectful expression, "Elder Cai, you were looking for me?"
"You guys made the Academy lose a lot of Face today."
A cold voice came from the communicator.
Shen Yi's Face showed bitterness, and she said, "Elder Cai, I didn't want to, but the situation was urgent. I only had time to protect our Academy's students and couldn't attend to others."
"Whether you were unable to attend to others, you know best. That's fine, but since you were present, how could you let others steal the limelight? The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is now heavily promoting itself on the Soul net, and the Academy has to work hard to refute it. This is a slap in the Face to me, the Outer Court Dean!"
The old woman's voice became sharp, as if it could pierce eardrums.
Shen Yi's wry smile deepened, and she said helplessly, "I acted poorly and am willing to accept the Academy's punishment."
She knew Elder Cai's personality too well: strong, unyielding, and self-willed. Decades ago, she caused chaos throughout the entire Spirit Master's world, and finally, the Academy sent people to bring her back to serve as the Outer Court Dean.
Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er had always been autocratic and would not listen to explanations.
"Hmph, the difficulty of your class's final exam this time will be doubled. If you don't complete it, you'll all be kicked out of Shrek!" Cai Yue'er ordered coldly.
Shen Yi's expression changed in surprise, and she whispered, "Elder Cai, isn't that a bit too..."
"Shrek only accepts monsters, not ordinary people! A general's incompetence affects the entire army. Blame their class leader and design committee members for being useless!"
Cai Yue'er issued a final ultimatum: "Or are you saying you also want to be driven out? Don't think that just because Zhuo Shi protects you, I can't do anything to you!"
"No, you are a Sea God's Pavilion Elder, so your words are naturally the rules... Please rest assured, we will definitely reclaim the lost limelight."
Shen Yi tried to appease her for a while and then ended the communication.
Looking at the stars in the night sky, she couldn't help but sigh, "Collateral damage. You guys are out of luck now..."
