Chapter 156 A 290,000-Year-Old Left Leg Bone: Shrek's Foundation.
Wu Xuan entered the Sea God Pavilion. Elder Mu was still quietly lying on his recliner.
"You're back. How was the surveillance mission?" Elder Mu smiled.
"Teacher, the mission you assigned me was so meticulously planned!" Wu Xuan pulled up a chair next to Elder Mu and sat down.
"Haha! Xuanzi, I told you I couldn't hide it from this little guy!" Elder Mu chuckled.
"I did manage to hide it. If this little guy hadn't seized a secret letter from the Holy Spirit Cult, I think he would have had a hard time thinking this way." Elder Xuan took a swig of wine and suddenly appeared opposite Wu Xuan.
"Little disciple, what secret letter? Let your master see it!"
"Here! This is it. Don't be angry when you see it, sir!" Wu Xuan said, handing over the secret letter.
Elder Mu received the secret letter, his eyes immediately sharpening. After a long silence, he sighed, "My worst fears have come true. In the last hundred years, the number of evil soul masters appearing in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms has decreased significantly, and even when they do appear, they are mostly weaker ones. I've always felt something was amiss, but I never expected that evil soul masters would actually become a force to be reckoned with. They've even formed their own organizations." A clear sense of desolation appeared in Elder Mu's eyes.
Elder Xuan also frowned deeply. "This is what I find most strange. Because of their inherent evil attributes, evil soul masters are almost all unruly beings. How could they be so easily commanded and form organizations?"
"It's too late to think about it now. Xuanzi, you have a long and arduous road ahead! When that evil soul master organization has accumulated enough power and dares to appear openly on the continent, the continent will surely be plunged into chaos and devastation." Elder Mu sighed.
Elder Xuan also began to sigh.
"Alright! There's no use in you two thinking so much. Let the younger generation handle the evil spirit masters in the future. In the not-too-distant future, the Land of the Ultimate Winds will be the final resting place of all evil spirit masters." Wu Xuan's imposing aura when he looked up momentarily stunned even the two elders.
Elder Mu recovered and laughed heartily, "With your courage, we old folks will certainly give you our full support."
"Elder Mu! I think we can give that item to him. I believe this young fellow won't let this treasure be disgraced." Elder Xuan was unusually serious for once, and didn't pick up his wine gourd again. "
That's right, it's time to give it to him." Elder Mu smiled with satisfaction.
"Teacher, Elder Xuan, what are you talking about? What reward are you going to give me? Didn't you say you'd only give me the reward after I completed five inspection missions?" Wu Xuan asked three times in a row.
"This treasure isn't some so-called reward for inspection missions, but the true foundation of my Sea God Pavilion, a supreme treasure. Little guy, you'll have to shoulder the responsibility if you accept it!" Elder Xuan patted Wu Xuan's shoulder with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Elder Mu stopped teasing him and with a wave of his hand, a wooden box carved from the trunk of a golden ancient tree appeared in his hand. "This is a left leg soul bone that was 290,000 years old, which dropped when a Sea God Pavilion master was hunting for his ninth soul ring a thousand years ago."
"A 290,000-year-old left leg soul bone?" Wu Xuan was stunned. He really didn't expect Shrek Academy to have such a treasure.
"Such a high-quality soul bone?! These two old men are really generous." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea of consciousness exclaimed with joy.
With the amplification of this top-tier soul bone that was 290,000 years old, it could continue to break the seal and allow its source power to merge with Wu Xuan.
"I never expected that a soul beast of such cultivation would become a soul ring for one of your human powerhouses," the Ice Emperor remarked at the opportune moment.
It wasn't a soul beast from their far north that died, so the Ice Emperor naturally wouldn't offer unwarranted sympathy. Even if it were a soul beast from the far north, it wasn't from their Ice Jade Scorpion clan. As Wu Xuan had said before, it's survival of the fittest; being killed is simply a matter of their own weakness.
Elder Mu continued, "This soul bone comes from a mutated soul beast of the Griffin clan in the Mingdou Mountains. This one is a Silver Scale Griffin, one of the royal branches. It's a super soul beast with wind and thunder attributes. Today, I'm entrusting it to you."
"Teacher, this is far too precious! I'm unworthy of it!" Wu Xuan trembled slightly with excitement, but managed to suppress it.
Elder Mu chuckled, "Little disciple, this soul bone isn't given to you for nothing. As Xuanzi just said, accepting it means taking on a responsibility."
"What responsibility?" Wu Xuan asked calmly. If it were about reviving the Tang Sect or revitalizing Shrek Academy, he would refuse outright.
The Tang Sect was out of the question; Wu Xuan felt only deep-seated disgust for it. As for revitalizing Shrek Academy, he would also refuse without hesitation. In his view, some of Shrek Academy's rules and regulations were severely outdated. What he wanted was a new Shrek Academy that broke down the old and corrupt and established new rules and regulations.
Elder Mu sighed, his expression serious, and said, "To crush the evil soul master organization, the Holy Spirit Cult, and launch a counterattack against the original Douluo Three Kingdoms; to stop the Sun Moon Empire's ambition to invade the Douluo Three Kingdoms. I know these two tasks are heavy, but besides you, I can't find anyone else to entrust them to."
Wu Xuan nodded without hesitation, "Teacher, rest assured, I will not refuse these two requests. Leave them to me from now on."
"Slaying the evil spirit masters and honoring the Sun Moon Empire's royal family—even if Elder Mu hadn't asked him, he would have done these two things, let alone given the quality of the soul bone he received. Evil spirit masters, needless to say, those rats in the gutter don't deserve to live in this world. How can a regime like this, with its high-ranking officials associating with beasts and abandoning its own people, be any better?"
Elder Mu said with satisfaction. "Haha, very good! I'm very pleased to see such courage. Absorb the soul bone here; we two old folks will protect you," Elder Mu said approvingly.
"Thank you, teacher!" Wu Xuan thanked him and opened the wooden box Elder Mu had handed him.
A gleaming silver soul bone instantly floated up. Wu Xuan grabbed the soul bone and placed it directly on his left leg. A loud eagle's cry rang out, and the Silver Scale Griffin's left leg bone instantly transformed into a condensed, persistent silver light, merging into Wu Xuan's left leg. His calf, now unzipped, instantly burst into a dazzling display of light. A phantom image of a remnant soul, with the head of an eagle, the body of a lion, and radiating silver light, appeared within Wu Xuan's spiritual sea.
Undeterred, Wu Xuan unleashed his sharp spiritual power and terrifying will, suppressing the attack directly.
In just a few moments, the brilliant silver light coalesced and solidified, and the first top-grade soul bone from Shrek Academy's foundation, aged 290,000 years, became part of Wu Xuan's power.
The sun hung high in the sky until sunset!
Wu Xuan stood up and gently moved his left leg. A warm sensation instantly filled his body, accompanied by raging lightning and the pervasive influence of wind elements. His entire left leg felt warm, and his soul power instantly broke through to level sixty.
"So quickly, the soul bone has been fused! Only four hours!" Elder Xuan took a swig of the fine wine in his hand and couldn't help but gasp.
He remembered that the fastest Sea God Pavilion Master to fuse this soul bone in the past thousand years had taken nearly six hours.
"It seems we two old fellows underestimated my little disciple," Elder Mu chuckled.
"Indeed!" Elder Xuan smiled from the bottom of his heart. The stronger Wu Xuan's strength was, the happier they were.
Putting down the wine pot, Elder Xuan's gaze fell back on Wu Xuan. "The only pity about this treasure is that the soul skills couldn't be solidified. Soul skills can only be generated according to the holder's talent. Little guy, what soul skills did you obtain?"
Wu Xuan suppressed his excitement and introduced at the right time: "I obtained two 100,000-year soul skills. I call the first one 'Sen Lei Yao Shi' and the second one 'Wu Ji Feng Hua'."
"Sen Lei Yao Shi is a lightning attribute soul skill belonging to the Silver Scale Griffin. Lightning attribute is the strongest element that counters evil soul masters, except for holy light attribute."
"Wu Ji Feng Hua is a pure wind element auxiliary soul skill. It can disperse inanimate objects that I come into contact with into wind, and it can also turn the dispersed wind back into solid objects."
"Hiss! Your first soul skill is alright, but your Wu Ji Feng Hua is really a bit abnormal." Elder Xuan was so shocked that he almost dropped the wine pot in his hand.
"Keep it low-key! Keep it low-key! After all, I am the first person in the history of the continent to reach the pinnacle of wind power." Wu Xuan waved his hand, signaling Elder Xuan not to be so surprised. "Teacher! Elder Xuan! It's getting late. I need to hurry to the Surveillance Hall to pick up the remaining surveillance missions, otherwise I'll be letting down the top-grade soul bone I obtained." Wu Xuan stretched and said casually.
"Little guy, aren't you going to rest for a few days? You can't keep being so tense all the time." Elder Mu said with a smile.
"Evil Soul Masters and Evil Soul Beasts are enemies that everyone should kill. I should naturally rid the continent of these scourges and complete the five surveillance missions I promised my teacher as soon as possible." Wu Xuan cleared his throat and said righteously.
"Hey! You little rascal, I bet you broke through to level sixty just to wait for the mission rewards Elder Mu mentioned!" Elder Xuan laughed, exposing Wu Xuan's little scheme.
"Elder Xuan! It's no fun if you just say it outright." Wu Xuan pouted.
Elder Mu chuckled, "The original Douluo Three Kingdoms didn't have so many high-level evil soul masters to rid you of evil. Your last mission required Xuanzi to investigate for half a month before he finally pinpointed the clues. I've already received your next surveillance mission. I was planning to give it to you in a couple of days, but seeing how impatient you are, take it now!" With that, Elder Mu handed Wu Xuan a black scroll.
Wu Xuan took the scroll, bowed deeply, and then strode out of the Sea God Pavilion.
