Upon hearing Liu Erlong's question, Dai Mubai also snapped out of his shock and nodded, saying, "That person's name is Qing Mu. I saw him at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy a year ago, but his martial soul looked different from what I see now, and his level was only twenty-four."
Is he Qing Mu?
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's eyes flashed, and he quickly looked towards the battlefield.
But after only a moment, Liu Erlong frowned. "No, this person is clearly a level 47 Soul Master. How could someone jump from a level 20 Great Soul Master to a level 40 Great Soul Master in just one year? Are you mistaken? Maybe he's his brother or something."
Upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, Dai Mubai hesitated for a moment. Judging from their current behavior, the two were indeed not like the same person; the difference was too great.
Just as the two were talking, Venusaur ended the battle with a single Seed Bomb. A warm current appeared in Qingmu's body, which immediately allowed Qingmu to break through the level 47 bottleneck and advance to level 48.
"Great. At this rate, I'll be able to break through level 50 in a few months. Then I can hunt down the Radiant Roaring Ape as my fifth spirit ring, and I'll be a Spirit King."
Feeling the increase in soul power within her body and the slight improvement she received, Qing Mu nodded in satisfaction.
When Dai Mubai saw this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He had actually broken through so easily.
Although he couldn't clearly see Qing Mu's level, he could still sense the soul power fluctuations emitted when Qing Mu broke through.
Unlike Dai Mubai's shock, Liu Erlong's eyes shone even brighter after seeing Qing Mu's breakthrough.
Although it's unclear what relationship this person has with Qing Mu, whom Yu Xiaogang wants to take on as a disciple, there's no doubt that this person is far more outstanding.
However, a Soul Master can defeat a 20,000-year-old Soul Beast that even a Soul Emperor might struggle to handle. This level of combat power is not unprecedented or unparalleled, but it is close.
"If we could lure someone like that away to be Xiaogang's apprentice, Xiaogang would surely be very happy."
As Liu Erlong's eyes grew brighter with each thought, just as she was envisioning the future, a giant vine emerged from the ground. Although she dodged in time and protected Dai Mubai, it still caught her somewhat off guard.
Looking at the man and woman who had been forced out, Qing Mu's eyes flashed with surprise, because he recognized one of them as Dai Mubai from Shrek Academy.
As for the other person, judging from their martial spirit and strength, the only person who fits the description is Yu Xiaogang's cousin, Liu Erlong.
"Gentlemen, isn't it rather impolite to peek for so long?"
Qing Mu said calmly.
Even knowing the other party's identity, Qing Mu remained completely calm.
Before transplanting the Fiery Apricot, Qing Mu might have been extra cautious when facing Liu Erlong, since fire is Ivysaur's weakness, and it would be at a disadvantage against Liu Erlong, who possesses a top-tier fire-attribute martial soul.
But now the situation has reversed. The fiery apricot blossom has given Venusaur the Fire Immunity ability, and now Liu Erlong is less of a threat to Qing Mu than the other Soul Saints.
The only thing that Qing Mu needed to be careful about was that Flander and Yu Xiaogang were nearby.
Although Yu Xiaogang is trash, he is an important material for synthesizing the Golden Sacred Dragon.
Even with Venusaur fully grown and stacked, Qing Mu still lacks complete confidence when facing the Golden Dragon.
After all, this was a move that could force Dugu Bo to use his true abilities. Although his strength was still far from that of a Title Douluo, it far surpassed that of a typical peak Soul Douluo.
Liu Erlong frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "We were just interested in your fight, but you actually attacked us directly. You're being very rude, junior."
"That's right, don't go too far. How can you attack people for no reason?" Dai Mubai chimed in.
Dai Mubai is furious. He truly felt the threat of death from Venusaur's attack. If it weren't for Liu Erlong's protection, he would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died.
"You still think you're right?"
Qing Mu sneered. Two people whose identities were unknown were watching the battle so closely. Who knew what they were up to?
He merely forced the person out with a casual strike, without using any force at all, yet this became his fault.
And didn't he remember Shrek Academy's motto being that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre? Why isn't it being used now?
Liu Erlong took a deep breath. "Alright, what's your name, young man? I'm Liu Erlong, a teacher at Shrek Academy. Seeing that you have some talent, would you be willing to join our Shrek Academy? If you join Shrek Academy, we'll wipe the slate clean."
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Qing Mu's attack on her earlier, she felt that if Qing Mu could join them, the matter would be insignificant.
"!??"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai looked at Liu Erlong with a surprised expression. Was this woman sure she wasn't making a mistake by recruiting people at this time?
However, when Dai Mubai thought of how easily Qing Mu had defeated that giant tiger, his eyes lit up. If this person really joined Shrek Academy, it would be a good choice.
At least the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies is secured. With a Soul Emperor-level combat power, how can others compete with Shrek Academy?
"..."
Qing Mu was speechless at Liu Erlong's remarks. The condescending tone made Qing Mu wonder if she was some unwanted trash.
Even if he seems a bit precocious now, he looks at most only around eighteen years old, right?
At level 48 at this age, looking at the current Douluo Continent, he's probably second or even first, not to mention he previously defeated a soul beast that was nearly 20,000 years old.
Seeing that Qing Mu did not respond for a long time, Liu Erlong became a little anxious and hurriedly said, "How has it been considered? Our Shrek Academy has a bunch of powerful teachers, including the number one martial soul theory master on the continent and the top five food-type soul masters on the continent. You won't get another chance if you miss this opportunity."
"What if I don't want to?" Qing Mu asked, looking somewhat annoyed.
He must be crazy to go to Shrek Academy. Although Shrek Academy is doing well now after absorbing Blue Tyrant Academy, does he even need those things?
What's more, Qing Mu is currently still a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's face immediately darkened, and he sneered, "That's not up to you. You have to go today whether you like it or not! Oh, and there's another brother named Qingmu, right? He'll be coming to keep you company later."
As he spoke, flames emanated from Liu Erlong's body, and he rushed towards Qing Mu's direction.
