--- Chapter 236 ---
Shrek Academy, Sea God Lake.
In the middle of a beautiful blue lake, a small island called Sea God Island stood for a long time and became well-known among the people of the Douluo Continent.
That's because the Sea God Pavilion stood here!
The Sea God Pavilion is the central power and governing body of Shrek Academy and Shrek City. Members gather to discuss important matters of state and things that concern the safety of humanity itself.
There is also a rumor that a Demi-God with Spirit Rank: Level 99 resides in the Sea God Pavilion. Many thought it was a rumor, but the name of Shrek Academy isn't just decoration.
Huo Yuhao and others landed on the small island, feeling an incredibly fresh sensation upon stepping on the land.
Upon looking up, one could see a majestic tree hundreds of meters high with goldish-brown bark and lush green leaves. An incredible amount of life energy gathered in this tree, surprising Huo Yuhao a bit.
Huo Yuhao smiled and thought, 'If Kuroka, Koneko, or Kunou came. They would like this place because it has such a rich'Natural Force' in the atmosphere.'
'Ancient Golden Tree, huh?' He scanned the tree with Evo's help and obtained the information regarding it.
"Hmm, Maybe I should plant some similar plants in the Dragon Nest's base..."
"Did you say something?" Yan Shaozhe squinted his eyes suspiciously at Huo Yuhao. At first, he doesn't want to bring this troublesome rascal to the Sea God Island, but the pavilion master somehow allows it.
Huo Yuhao shrugged, "I'm just admiring the scenery."
"Nice tree."
"..." Yan Shaozhe's mouth twitched.
At least try a little bit harder when lying!
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao nodded and commented, "It is a nice tree."
"A famous legend said that Tang Sect's Ancestor and Legend of the Shrek Academy, Tang San, planted this tree before he left the Douluo Continent and ascended his Godhood." Bei Bei said as a matter of fact.

"Yes, 10,000 years passed after that." Yan Shaozhe confirmed calmly.
'Yeah, and he leaves a mess left and right for future generations to clean it up.' Huo Yuhao commented sarcastically.
Of all the things Tang San's done for this world, planting the Ancient Golden Tree is just one thing he did to prevent Shrek Academy's destruction.
And it's not even that impressive, considering how Tang San destroyed the Slaughter City and Spirit Hall, the two places that maintained order in the Douluo Continent 10,000 years ago.
Sure, they were corrupt, and there is no need to sugarcoat it.
However, evil people live in corrupt places.
Look now, 10,000 years later. Trash was 'literally' mixed with the goods.
Like, he could have done much more.
Huo Yuhao sighed, 'It was a good thing I founded the Dragon Nest on a different continent. Douluo Continent is a melting pot of disaster.'
'Not to mention the Gods are freely watching us from above like it was an entertaining TV show.'
'Well, I don't have to worry much about them. I'm still consolidating my Gods' Positions currently.' Huo Yuhao whistled.
Yan Shaozhe fixed his suit and said, "Follow me."
Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, and Bei Bei followed Yan Shaoze into the Ancient Golden Tree and were 'immediately' greeted by an entrance tangled by roots.
They went there, finding the area was rather dim but had more than enough sunlight to see.
As they went deeper, Huo Yuhao could see a long table, and at the far corner was an elderly in a wheelchair. He was none other than Mu En, the white-haired elder Huo Yuhao greeted when entering the Shrek Academy for the first time.
The white-haired elder is wearing an ordinary gray robe and looks very modest, something you wouldn't expect from a former Peak Title Douluo Realm expert.
"We met again." The elder opened his eyes and revealed a pair of brilliant golden eyes.
Huo Yuhao smiled, "Yes."
"It's nice to see you around, one of Twin Holy Dragons."
"This Huo Yuhao greets you."
Mu En chuckled and shook his head bitterly, "With the state I am currently in, that title doesn't fit me."
"But... I'd still take it for granted."
People also called Mu En the Dragon God Douluo, but there is no way in hell Huo Yuhao called him that.
Meanwhile, Yan Shaozhe was speechless. When did Huo Yuhao and the Pavilion Master know each other?
Such informality.
As far as he knew, this rascal only played around in the Shrek Academy and occasionally sparred with the girls in his dorm. Only recently, Huo Yuhao and others went out to hunt for spirit rings.
'Weird, very weird.' Yan Shaozhe gazed at Huo Yuhao's back, which was 'bizarrely' shrouded with mystery.
The more Yan Shaozhe got to know Huo Yuhao, the less he knew about him.
Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei also glanced at each other, finding this situation weird.
"Pavilion Master." Yan Shaozhe stepped forward and cupped his hand.
"Elder Mu." Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei greeted.
"Mm." Mu En nodded. "It seems you have a fortuitous encounter, Xiaotao, Bei."
"We are lucky." They responded humbly.
"Luck is also part of strength." Mu En returned calmly and glanced at Huo Yuhao. "Well, let's proceed with Xiaotao's problem."
"Xiaotao, come here."
"Let me check your Martial Soul."
"Okay." Ma Xiaotao nodded and walked forward, stretching her hand to Mu En.
Mu En lifted his hand and grabbed Ma Xiaotao's arm, closing his eyes. Yet a second later, he exhaled deeply with widened eyes.
"T-This is..."
"What is this?"
"I have never seen something like this before..."
Everyone was confused except for Huo Yuhao.
"I-I there a problem with Xiaotao, Pavilion Master?" Yan Shaozhe worriedly asked.
Mu En laughed heartily, "If a problem means good, then Xiaotao is indeed a big problem."
"I don't know where she obtained this precious bloodline essence, but it was extremely compatible with her Origin Fire Phoenix Martial Soul."
"It's not an exaggeration saying Xiaotao has fully achieved perfect mutation."
"So, Senior Ma's case is similar to our Radiant Sacred Dragon?" Bei Bei uttered in curiosity.
Mu En shook his head weakly, "Her mutation might be more powerful than that, Bei."
"Our Ancestor, Yu Xiaogang, awakened a 'negative' mutation of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. He was 'literally' condemned by his peers until he formed the Golden Iron Triangle and devised several theories about Martial Soul's evolution."
"10,000 years later, we inherited his bloodline. He created another path for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Radiant Sacred Dragon's lineage!"
'Why did you make it sound epic, though?' Huo Yuhao couldn't help but comment in his head.
Mu En stroked his beard and continued, "What Xiaotao achieved is nearly similar to her ancestor, Ma Hongjun, but even more powerful."
"Her martial soul, in my opinion, might have reached the realm of Ultimate."
"But if we want to know more about it, we must test Ma Xiaotao's new martial soul."
"Let's go to the field..." Mu En seemingly used his Mental Power to move his body off the wheelchair, hovering in the air gently.
They followed him into a field within the Sea God Pavilion. It was an area of one hundred meters square with a bounded field.
Mu En checked something and said, "Shaozhe, I'll let you test Xiaotao's new martial soul. However, be careful."
"Okay, let's go. Xiaotao." Yan Shaozhe entered the field.
"Mm." Ma Xiaotao followed him.
Huo Yuhao leaned on the wooden rail and commented, "Elder Mu En, do you want to bet?"
Mu En raised his brows and smiled, "I don't think this old man has enough chips to gamble with you."
"It's a light bet." Huo Yuhao waved his hand casually.
"The winner only has to do a small favor, and you can even reject it if it's beyond your limit."
"Well, I'm all ears." Mu En was interested in Huo Yuhao's proposal.
Huo Yuhao smirked, "I bet Senior Ma could damage Dean Yan within three moves."
"Oh, I'll bet Shaozhe fully restricts his disciple then." Mu En responded calmly.
Bei Bei recognized the smirk on Huo Yuhao's face and failed to stop his great-grandfather. 'Aih, Junior Huo. I know you're up to no good.' He sighed helplessly.
Even then, he felt Huo Yuhao's prediction was ridiculous.
How could a Soul Emperor possibly damage a Title Douluo?
