Chapter 69 Poseidon Pavilion!
“What a promising ‘holy son’! If an ordinary soul master is even slightly exposed to the aura of death, he will be attacked by it and become possessed, turning into a madman who can’t even maintain his spiritual intelligence.”

“But you, little fellow, are clearly carrying such a strong aura of death, but not only are you not affected at all, you can even restrain this aura of death freely. This is really interesting…”

Looking at Luo Chen who was being protected by Xuan Zi, Long Xiaoyao’s ruddy face, which did not look like that of a man who was hundreds of years old, showed a hint of surprise and astonishment, but more of it was admiration.

Having served in the Holy Spirit Church for several years, he has seen countless evil soul masters who are the kind of soul masters that everyone wants to fight against. Although each of them has an extremely strong talent in cultivation and their strength is so terrifying that ordinary soul masters cannot resist.

However, under the influence of such evil martial spirits, the intelligence of the evil soul masters who should have been outstanding had their own intelligence more or less affected by some irreversible influence, and became extremely insane and bloodthirsty!

This is because when he was enhancing his evil martial soul, he was affected by the aura of death or darkness, and turned into a half-human, half-ghost appearance, just like a walking corpse!
However, Luo Chen, who was of outstanding temperament in front of him, was obviously not in this list. Although Long Xiaoyao felt an extremely strong aura of death from him, which even moved him, this aura of death was so pure and holy.

He is not like other evil soul masters, who are filled with the hostility left over from endless killing. This is what really concerns Long Xiaoyao.

“Little guy, do you want to join the Holy Spirit Church? I see that your martial soul possesses such a pure and sacred aura of death. Only the Holy Spirit Church can truly carry forward your martial soul. Shrek Academy cannot do this.”

Without paying any attention to Xuanzi who was already bursting with aura in front of him, Long Xiaoyao spoke in a gentle tone to Luo Chen behind him.

However, before Luo Chen could respond, Xuan Zi in front of him frowned and directly rejected him in a stiff and unquestionable tone:

“Don’t dream. I am here. Even if you, the Dark Holy Dragon, come in person, that will not matter. Since this student is a member of Shrek Academy, you can forget about taking him away!”

“It is a shame for a dignified Dark Holy Dragon, a former legend in the world of soul masters, to join a dirty and filthy organization like the Holy Spirit Church!”

Facing Long Xiaoyao, who had already reached the 99th level of Ultimate Douluo and whose experience was much more profound than his own, Xuanzi did not care about his face at all and directly reprimanded him.

However, after hearing these words, Long Xiaoyao in front of him did not get angry as Xuan Zi and Luo Chen had expected. Instead, he laughed a few times, and his laughter revealed a hint of helplessness.

“Is it a shame to join the Holy Spirit Church? I don’t think so. We all walk our own path. Although your Shrek Academy may seem glorious, it is actually no different from the Holy Spirit Church.”

“Well, I don’t need to say this to you. You are not worthy. I will give you three seconds now. Hand over the child behind you, and I will not bother with you. Otherwise, today will be the day when you, the Taotie Douluo, will fall!”

Although Long Xiaoyao said this, his eyes were fixed on Luo Chen, who was protected by Xuan Zi behind him and did not say a word, as if he did not take Xuan Zi seriously at all.

“Humph, if you want me to teach my own students, you might as well just kill me. I won’t make the same mistake a second time!”

As Xuan Zi spoke, the space above his head began to vibrate faintly, and then as his seventh soul ring suddenly flickered, a phantom with overwhelming momentum emerged.

Looking closely, it was a monster about fifty meters long, with a body similar to that of a sheep, but with tiger teeth and human claws, and a pair of huge horns on its head. It exuded an extremely terrifying aura from head to toe!

“Is this the Taotie Divine Bull? I didn’t expect that you, Xuanzi, have already understood your own martial soul’s true form. However, if you want to force me to retreat with just the martial soul’s true form of this divine beast’s bloodline martial soul, then you are still a long way off.”

Looking at the terrifying shadow that appeared above Xuanzi’s head, which became clearer and gradually condensed into reality, a hint of admiration flashed across Long Xiaoyao’s eyes, but he still looked indifferent.

Obviously, in Long Xiaoyao’s eyes, the martial soul true body released by Xuan Zi, who had the cultivation level of level 98, although very powerful, was still far from the level that he could take seriously.

At this moment, Luo Chen seemed to have made up his mind and said to Long Xiaoyao in front of him:

“Senior, I have been a member of both Tang Sect and Shrek Academy for a long time. Tang Sect has given me a new identity, and Shrek Academy has given me a stable life. As for joining Holy Spirit Church… I’m sorry, I can’t obey your order!”

“Oh? This is new. An evil soul master did not join the Holy Spirit Church, but became a disciple of the Tang Sect and Shrek. This is really unheard of.”

Hearing Luo Chen’s words, Long Xiaoyao was stunned at first, as if he didn’t expect that the other party was actually from the Tang Sect. He couldn’t help but laugh, but he still didn’t want to give up, and couldn’t help but persuade again:
“Little guy, you have such a martial spirit. You will not be tolerated by the mainland in the future. Only my Holy Spirit Church is your home. I can make you a promise. As long as you join the Holy Spirit Church, you will be the Holy Son of my church. It will not be a problem for you to become a Limit Douluo in the future!”

Long Xiaoyao was not making this up. With his hundreds of years of background and accumulation, plus the power of the Holy Spirit Church, it was extremely easy for him to allow a soul master to condense his own soul core and become an Ultimate Douluo!

Luo Chen also didn’t expect that Long Xiaoyao would make such a promise to him in order to let him join the Holy Spirit Church. Not only would he become a disciple of the Holy Spirit Church and be trained by all the resources of the church, but he would also be able to become an Ultimate Douluo in the future? !
It has to be said that if it was Luo Chen who had not yet awakened his martial soul, such a promise would indeed make him tempted. But now, in front of Luo Chen who has already awakened his martial soul, such conditions that are enough to drive everyone crazy are not so attractive.

“I’m sorry, senior. I don’t want to join the Holy Spirit Church. You said it very well before, that you have to walk your own path. I want to walk my own path now, and this path is the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy!”

Faced with the olive branches repeatedly extended by Long Xiaoyao, Luo Chen also refused.

Although the Holy Spirit Church was indeed large in size, with three Level 99 Ultimate Douluo in charge and several Nine-ring Titled Douluo elders, these were nothing compared to the backgrounds of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

Furthermore, if Long Xiaoyao promised to become a god, then Luo Chen might consider it. But if he was just a level 99 Extreme Douluo who couldn’t even live to be a thousand years old, then this would not be very attractive to Luo Chen.

With his martial soul of mysterious origin and status beyond imagination, and the various abilities it has given him, as long as he can absorb enough vitality, Luo Chen is even confident that he can create a godhood or even a realm of gods for himself, let alone a mere Ultimate Douluo!
“Really? That’s a pity that such a powerful talent cannot be used by our Holy Spirit Church. Well, then you and Xuanzi will die here together!” Long Xiaoyao said, and a sharp look appeared in his eyes.

But in the next moment, a gentle yet majestic voice suddenly sounded:
“Since Xuan Zi can’t do anything to you, what about me?”

Hearing this familiar voice, not only Xuanzi, who was about to burst out with all his strength, but also Luo Chen, who was deep in thought behind him, showed a hint of doubt in his eyes. They both recognized who the owner of this voice was.

It was Moon, the Dragon God Douluo, who, like Long Xiaoyao, possessed the cultivation of a ninety-nine-level Ultimate Douluo and mastered the skill of the Light of the Sea God. He was enough to be called the strongest in the world of soul masters today!
After this voice sounded, a body of light constructed purely from light energy also quietly appeared at this moment. Although the appearance of this figure could not be seen clearly, Luo Chen could recognize that this was the incarnation gathered by Moon!

However, what was more surprising than Xuan Zi and Luo Chen was the person standing in front of them, Long Xiaoyao, who seemed to be in a daze.

“Such a powerful and sacred force of light, it really is you, old friend!”

As Long Xiaoyao spoke, the extremely terrifying soul power fluctuation that had just appeared on his body began to recede, and all his attention was focused on the body of light in front of him.

“It has been decades since we last met in the battle. Brother Long, you are still as carefree as ever.”

Under the power of Moon’s body, everything around seemed to be still. Xuan Zi, who had already released his martial soul, and Luo Chen behind him were both sent dozens of miles away by the power he projected.

However, Long Xiaoyao didn’t care about these things. Looking at the old friend in front of him whom he hadn’t seen for many years, there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.

“Yes, time is merciless. I never thought that when we meet again, it would be like this. It is really amazing. Although your power is still so unfathomable, why is your aura…”

As Long Xiaoyao spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had sensed something from the external incarnation of Moon in front of him.

“Yes, my deadline is almost here. This world is no longer the same as it used to be. A soul master who reached the peak of level 99 ten thousand years ago could still be called a peerless Douluo, and his life span is at least three thousand years.”

“But now, even if you and I have reached the pinnacle of the Ultimate Douluo realm, our lifespan is only about 300 years. We cannot achieve the status of a god and ascend to the divine realm. We will eventually perish under the erosion of time and turn into a pile of yellow earth.”

Faced with Long Xiaoyao’s doubts, Moon En did not hide anything and told him the truth.

Today, their ages have long exceeded the limit of 300 years. Ordinary Extreme Douluo would have long fallen in the mortal world, but the cultivation of these two has reached a very high level in the extreme realm, and they are not far from the semi-god realm.

However, due to the limitations of the plane, without the assistance of heaven-defying things, a normal soul master, no matter how talented he is, cannot break through to the demigod realm. Only mental power can transcend this realm and reach the demigod realm, which can also be called the Divine Yuan realm.

With the deadline approaching, even if Moon’s cultivation has reached the pinnacle, if he cannot successfully break through, he can only survive for another three to five years within the three hundred year limit.

Faced with Moon’s frank words, Long Xiaoyao could not help but remain silent. It was not that he could not accept that his best friend had disappeared under the power of time, but he did not expect that when they met again, it would be the time for them to part.

However, compared to Long Xiaoyao, Moon En is very open-minded. No matter how extraordinary a genius’s talent is, there will be a day when he will fall. Even gods are like this, let alone him?
“Brother Long, for my sake, please don’t embarrass Xuanzi and that little guy. At least give me some face before I leave.”

“……it is good.”

No one knew what the two old holy dragons communicated during their meeting after several decades, but at this moment Luo Chen and Xuan Zi had both returned to Shrek Academy.

……

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

“Boy, we are here. You should be happy that Elder Mu has noticed you and asked me to bring you to the Sea God Pavilion. This is the core area of ​​Shrek Academy. Even those geniuses in the inner courtyard cannot come here.”

After arriving at the Seagod Island in the center of Seagod Lake from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest by using his extreme speed, Luo Chen, whose body was wrapped in golden soul power, was gently put down by Xuanzi, who then spoke to Luo Chen happily.

At this moment, Luo Chen, who had just set foot on the ground of Sea God Island, had the same unexpected expression as Xuan Zi.

In Xuanzi’s opinion, it is a great honor to allow a student who has just joined Shrek Academy, has not made any achievements, and has no results, to enter the Poseidon Pavilion as an exception!

After all, Poseidon Pavilion is the place where the core members of Shrek Academy rest and practice, and any major events that may affect the future of the academy are also held here. Those who are qualified to enter here must have at least the level of Titled Douluo!
Therefore, it was unheard of that Luo Chen, an outer courtyard disciple with only the third ring of cultivation and who had not even passed the freshman assessment, could enter the Sea God Pavilion!
However, Xuanzi might have misunderstood. The reason why Luo Chen felt surprised at this moment was not because of this, but because of the extremely rich life force that filled the Sea God Island!
The life force gathered on this Sea God Island is even several times stronger than what Luo Chen felt before in the Star Dou Great Forest. Not long after arriving here, Luo Chen clearly felt that his own soul power cultivation had increased significantly!

Before Luo Chen could say anything, the next moment, a strong fluctuation of soul power suddenly rose from his body, causing Xuan Zi beside him to be stunned for a moment, his eyes full of surprise.

“You…made a breakthrough again?”
