Chapter 561 – Elder Shu’s Shock
Then, Elder Tree turned to look at Wang Tianyu. “Little Wang, it can’t be, right?”
Wang Tianyu said indifferently, “It’s what you think. What are they doing ?” The second question was directed at Tang Yue.
Tang Yue said, “They ate something called Emperor Fruit and that’s it. They said that it could purify and strengthen one’s bloodline.”
Wang Tianyu’s eyes went blank while Elder Shu jumped up instantly. “Emperor Fruit? Beast God Di Tian’s Emperor Fruit? Did they take back seven? Did they raid Beast God’s nest or what ?”
He knew that what he said couldn’t be true. If they had really raided Beast God’s nest, why would the Emerald Swan and the Abyssal Demon Dragon be here?
Wang Tianyu looked at him and said, “Elder Shu, you seem to know the Emperor Fruit very well?”
Elder Shu said somewhat abstractedly, “When my teacher was in charge of the School of Life, he was invited by Beast God Di Tian to visit him. At that time, the most shocking thing for him was the Emperor Fruit that Beast God had discovered. We don’t know where this Emperor Fruit came from, but it can only be produced once every thousand years. It can greatly enhance and purify one’s bloodline. Simply put, in many cases a soul master’s Martial Soul isn’t strong enough because the Martial Soul itself isn’t strong. However, many Martial Souls have bloodlines. Martial Soul mutations are often mutations of the bloodline. Some people’s Martial Soul, for example, are ordinary snakes, but among these ordinary snake-type Martial Souls, there might be one in 10,000th, or even one in 100,000th of a True Dragon’s bloodline. Of course, it’s impossible to awaken it normally. But this Emperor Fruit’s effect is to increase the most primitive and strongest part of the bloodline in the human body. I don’t know about the ratio, but it will definitely increase it. In other words, if one has a subdragon Martial Soul, it might transform into a True Dragon Martial Soul. Beast God Di Tian wanted to use this fruit to create an incomparably powerful successor after him, one who will inherit an ancient Beast God’s bloodline. I don’t know whether he has succeeded or not, but it is definitely a top-grade Heaven and Earth treasure. It’s comparable to the possibility of provoking a Martial Soul’s Second Awakening in a sure way.
Due to his excitement, Elder Shu spoke very quickly, but he soon had the urge to cry. “Why are these little guys in such a rush to eat! Let me research them first! Let me see if there is any possibility of cultivating one ! Beast God was very secretive about this thing back then and we don’t know its origins at all. Maybe we can nurture some with the Eternal Tree as the foundation. If that happens, it would be too valuable. They are really !”
Wang Tianyu asked, “Is there any use in drawing the blood of these children?”
Elder Shu rolled his eyes. “It’s useless. A treasure of this level will immediately take effect after being consumed, and then it will fuse with the consumer’s body. Drawing their blood would only help us to study their bloodline. Can’t you tell? Even Bi Ji and the Demon Queen are taking advantage of the Emperor Fruit’s effect to fuse into their bloodline and improve it. One can only imagine how strong this Emperor Fruit is.”
Tang Yue probed, “Teacher, Lan Xuanyu seemed to be very nonchalant when he took this out. Maybe he has more?”
Elder Shu’s eyes lit up. “There’s more? No way, an Emperor Fruit is so precious...”
Wang Tianyu said, “It’s hard to say. The successor of Beast God, Tiger King, has a very good relationship with Lan Xuanyu.”
Elder Shu rubbed his hands. “Wait, we’ll wait for them to wake up and ask. We’ll also observe their changes. These little fellows are truly blessed by the heavens! Little Wang, aren’t you going to make an exception and recruit them into the Inner Court?”
Wang Tianyu shook his head and said, “We can’t pull a seedling out by its roots and help it grow. The more unpolished it is, the more we have to polish it.”
Elder Shu scoffed. Just then, Tang Yue said, “Teacher, I have good news for you. Lan Xuanyu has just agreed to join our School of Life.”
“Ah?” Elder Shu was shocked and immediately after, he was overjoyed. Wang Tianyu’s face darkened. What did he mean by joining the School of Life ?
“He cannot join the School of Life. According to the rules, only Inner Court disciples are qualified,” Wang Tianyu said solemnly.
Elder Shu laughed. “Who said that he’s not qualified? I’m the leader of the School of Life, if I say he’s qualified then he is. I’ll make an exception for him with my authority, hahaha, Little Yueyue, you did well in this matter.” As he spoke, Elder Shu took out a shiny red object and threw it to Wang Tianyu.
It was an extremely small emblem that was crystal clear and seemed to be polished from gemstones. The red halo almost made the surroundings reflect the same color.
That’s right, this was Shrek Academy’s highest-ranking emblem, the red emblem. It had the highest authority in Shrek Academy, the red emblem that could break any rules.
One had to know that in order to obtain this red emblem, one had to contribute greatly to the academy.
Wang Tianyu was stunned too. He never expected that Elder Shu would actually take out a red emblem in exchange for Lan Xuanyu’s early admission into the School of Life. Was it worth it? Even if Lan Xuanyu entered the Inner Court, there was a high chance that he would join the School of Life on his own!
“Elder Shu, you...”
Elder Shu waved his hand. “A red emblem is useless to me. Little Wang, look at Lan Xuanyu’s finger.”
Wang Tianyu subconsciously looked at Lan Xuanyu’s hands. On Lan Xuanyu’s right thumb was a dark blue ring—that was Lan Xuanyu’s Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd. And on his left index finger was a crystal clear silver ring.
“You, you gave him the Ring of Fate? Aren’t you being too rash?” Wang Tianyu exclaimed. At his level, it was almost impossible for him to have such a huge emotional fluctuation. But that ring, the silver-white ring on Lan Xuanyu’s finger, had a great significance to Shrek Academy because it represented the leader of the School of Life, the leader, and a seat in the Sea God Pavilion.
Elder Shu chuckled. “I’m old, I don’t have many years left. I have to find a successor for myself. I waited for almost a thousand years before I finally found the most suitable one. So, no matter what, I will spare no effort to let him join the School of Life. Little Wang, believe in this old man’s foresight. One day, he will definitely lead our School of Life to shine with the brightest light. Who knows, he might even be able to break through the thousand-year limit. I just don’t know if I will be able to see that day.”
Wang Tianyu couldn’t help but ask, “You think so highly of him?”
Elder Shu smiled. “No, I’m not the only one who thinks highly of him. The Eternal Tree also thinks highly of him. It was under the Eternal Tree’s guidance that helped me to make such a decision. So, from now on, I request the academy to double protect him. At the very least, before he enters the Inner Court, he cannot go on any dangerous missions. Even if he goes, he must have someone to protect him.”
Wang Tianyu had already regained his composure and said in a deep voice, “I will report this matter to the Sea God Pavilion immediately. Please be prepared to report this to the Sea God Pavilion. He is only 13 years old, after all.”
Elder Shu smiled and nodded. “He will definitely grow up in ten years. I can still hold on for another ten years. I will watch him grow up and become a towering tree.”
After saying that, he walked to the side of the lake and observed everyone who was digesting the Emperor Fruit, carefully sensing their vital signs and changes.
Wang Tianyu didn’t leave either, he was also observing. The evolution of one’s bloodline was simply too important to a soul master. It might not be able to directly make a person stronger, but it could open a path to becoming strong, or even a path to god rank.
It wasn’t just Lan Xuanyu, these children also had to be protected well! Perhaps, the Star War Experiment class could really shine the brightest thanks to them.
Lan Xuanyu silently felt the changes in his body. Cultivating in Sea God Lake was different. The extremely abundant life energy was constantly absorbed and transformed by his seven-colored core. Under the Emperor Fruit’s effect, his bloodline was improving once again.
