Douluo Dalu 2: The True God King-Chapter 263: [DD2]:
Chapter 263 - [DD2]: 263
Chen Xin hesitated for a moment before finally clasping his fists and accepting the soul bone.
"Thank you, young master."
Su Yu nodded and said, "Make good use of this soul bone. As for the issue of the soul core, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Senior Mu Wu."
"He has experience."
Chen Xin immediately looked at Mu Wu and cupped his hands. "Senior Mu Wu, I will be relying on your guidance from now on."
Mu Wu sighed helplessly and nodded.
After exchanging a few more words, Su Yu waved his hand, and the three of them withdrew.
Chen Xin immediately clung to Mu Wu.
Mu Wu's expression turned odd. "Chen Xin, do you need to be in such a hurry?"
Chen Xin smiled slightly. "I can't help it. I want to improve."
"Besides, only by becoming stronger can I serve the young master better."
Mu Wu's mouth twitched, but since Su Yu had already given instructions, he couldn't refuse.
He could only begin guiding Chen Xin on the key points of soul core condensation.
Meanwhile, Su Yu, now free, went to the opposite suite to flirt with Wang Dong'er.
...
The next day.
Inside Sea God's Pavilion.
Yan Shaozhe led Su Yu deep into Sea God's Pavilion, arriving at a secluded room.
Though Sea God's Pavilion appeared to have only two floors, it contained vast hidden spaces underground.
There were various specialized training rooms, treasure vaults, classified archives, and more—almost everything was stored here.
It could be said that Sea God's Pavilion was the most important place in Shrek Academy.
The place where Yan Shaozhe brought Su Yu was Shrek Academy's classified library, where all kinds of ancient texts and cultivation insights from predecessors were stored.
Opening the wooden door revealed a spacious room lined with wooden shelves filled with books.
Yan Shaozhe introduced, "This is Shrek's classified library. It contains ancient texts and cultivation experiences left behind by predecessors."
"According to the teacher's instructions, you may browse freely for three days."
"You are free to read any of the ancient texts here."
To win Su Yu over, Mu En relaxed many restrictions.
Su Yu shrugged and casually said, "Then I appreciate Senior Mu En's kindness."
Yan Shaozhe smiled. "Young Master Su Yu, I will take my leave. If you need anything, just call for me—I'll be nearby."
Su Yu nodded slightly without much reaction.
Yan Shaozhe left, closing the door behind him.
Su Yu glanced around and started flipping through books at random.
With Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year foundation, there was indeed a vast collection of knowledge here.
However, most of the content was already familiar to Su Yu.
His understanding of some topics was even more detailed.
Shaking his head, Su Yu went straight for his main goal—seeking cultivation insights on Ultimate Martial Souls.
That was the only thing he was truly interested in.
After searching for a long time, Su Yu finally found cultivation insights left behind by Shrek Academy's past masters.
Most of it wasn't particularly useful, even if the authors had once been Super Douluos.
To Su Yu, these insights didn't provide much value.
"No wonder Mu En was so generous in letting me read freely."
"At my current level, there isn't much here that is useful to me."
Su Yu had already touched the threshold of the ultimate level, and even Mu En was shocked by his domain.
How could the experiences of ordinary people offer him much inspiration?
"Still, there are a few valuable ones, especially these two."
Su Yu picked out two ancient texts—one written by an Ultimate Wind soul master and another by an Ultimate Fire soul master.
Both were records left by Ultimate Douluos.
These two individuals had once led Shrek Academy to its peak as its headmasters.
"Ultimate Wind, Ultimate Fire... Ultimate Martial Souls are truly terrifyingly powerful."
"From this perspective, Mu En might not be as strong as these two."
"Mu En's martial soul is the Holy Light Dragon, but it doesn't seem to be a completely pure Holy Light Dragon."
"Otherwise, he should possess the Ultimate Light attribute."
Previously, Su Yu had thought Mu En had Ultimate Light, but after meeting him, he realized that wasn't the case.
Mu En's martial soul was a super martial soul, but it fell just short of being truly Ultimate Light.
A purely inherited Holy Light Dagon bloodline should possess Ultimate Light.
However, Mu En's bloodline came from Yu Xiaogang, who himself was a product of variation.
Mu En had inherited this mutated bloodline, which had regressed toward its ancestral origins, surpassing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon to become the Holy Light Dragon.
But could such a Holy Light Dragon compare to a truly pure-blooded one?
A pure Holy Light Dragon should be on par with the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian—possessing an ultimate attribute.
If Mu En had a pure Holy Light Dragon bloodline, he should have been able to suppress Xuanzi's Taotie Beast bloodline.
But he couldn't, which meant his Holy Light Dragon bloodline wasn't pure enough.
Thinking along these lines, Long Xiaoyao was likely in a similar situation.
His Dark Holy Dragon martial soul was probably not of a truly pure bloodline either.
Otherwise, he should have possessed Ultimate Darkness like Di Tian.
"Well, that makes sense. The probability of a truly pure dragon martial soul appearing in humans is too low."
"If they started appearing everywhere, they wouldn't be so special anymore."
Su Yu chuckled and pulled out the Ultimate Wind insight book to start reading.

Before he knew it, the evening had arrived.
"How long have I been reading?"
Su Yu rubbed his temples, put the ancient text back in place, and walked out of the wooden room.
Swish!
A sharp sound of movement rang out, and Yan Shaozhe suddenly appeared.
"Young Master Su Yu, how was your reading?" Yan Shaozhe asked with a smile.
Su Yu casually replied, "I read a bit, and there were some gains."
"What time is it now?"
Yan Shaozhe answered, "It's already five in the afternoon."
"Huh?"
Su Yu was slightly surprised. "Then I need to head back. I'll return tomorrow."
Without much conversation, he turned and left.
Yan Shaozhe naturally followed behind him.
As they walked through the corridors of Sea God's Pavilion, Su Yu encountered some familiar faces—elders of the pavilion.
Upon reaching the first-floor hall, Su Yu suddenly bumped into someone.
This person's right arm was severed at the shoulder, his hair was messy, and his complexion was somewhat pale.
Yet, he still held a wine gourd, continuously drinking.
This person was Xuanzi.
Su Yu's eyes flickered, and his keen gaze swept over Xuanzi.
From the flow of his aura, Su Yu could instantly analyze Xuanzi's current state—including the exact locations of his internal injuries.
Xuanzi had no hidden wounds left, but his very essence had been truly damaged.
Although his aura was strong, it couldn't change the fact that he was outwardly strong but inwardly weak at this moment.
However, within Xuanzi's body, there was another extremely obscure yet highly dangerous aura.
If even Su Yu considered it dangerous, then it was naturally not something ordinary.
If this power were to erupt, it would likely be quite troublesome to deal with.
Su Yu had no intention of greeting Xuanzi. He simply glanced at him before walking out of the Sea God Pavilion.
Xuanzi stared at Su Yu's departing figure, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Which inner court student is this?"
"He didn't even bother to greet me?"
Xuanzi muttered discontentedly.
Inside the hall, Cai Meier lounged lazily, while Xian Liner initially wanted to speak. But upon seeing Yan Shaozhe approaching, her delicate face turned cold, and she let out a snort, losing any desire to explain.
Yan Shaozhe smiled bitterly and explained, "He's not an inner court student. He's the young master of the Ice God Palace—Su Yu."
"Young master of the Ice God Palace?"
"The same brat who extorted our academy?"
Xuanzi raised an eyebrow.
Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, "Yes, it's him. But his identity is special, Elder Xuan, so please don't act recklessly."
Xuanzi shot Yan Shaozhe a glare and said, "I'm not that foolish. I know what you all are up to, and I won't cause trouble for you."
Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, That better be true.
Xuanzi had already caused plenty of trouble lately.
Shrek Academy had paid a hefty price because of him.
He was genuinely afraid that Xuanzi, unaware of his current strength, might bring more trouble to the academy.
Losing some resources was a minor issue, but ruining the academy's plans would be a disaster.
Lexuan had worked hard for a long time to establish a connection with Su Yu, and she had barely managed to do so.
He didn't want to see all of that ruined by Xuanzi.
Seeing Yan Shaozhe's expression, Xuanzi snorted, feeling displeased.
He felt like he was being underestimated.
However, his current strength was only at Rank 96, with his foundation damaged. He wasn't much stronger than Yan Shaozhe.
So he held back his words.
If this were the past, he would have slapped Yan Shaozhe for talking to him like this.
Sigh... His strength had declined, and so had his status.
With a cold snort, Xuanzi asked, "Is the Ice God Palace really that strong?"
Ever since he came back, it seemed that all the elders held a certain reverence for the Ice God Palace.
That made him uncomfortable.
Since when did Shrek Academy have to revere others?
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe replied in a deep voice, "They are indeed very strong."
"The Ice God Palace is full of powerful experts. From what I know so far, their strength is extraordinary."
"Their Second and Third Guardians are both Rank 97 Super Douluo."
"The Second Guardian, Lu Yuan, possesses a Titan Snow Demon martial soul, with a soul ring configuration of six black and three red. His overall strength is nearly equivalent to a Rank 98 Super Douluo."
"The First Guardian, Mu Wu, is a Rank 98 Super Douluo with a True Dragon martial soul, Baxia. His soul ring configuration is also six black and three red, and his aura is so overwhelming that he rivals an Ultimate Douluo."
"The High Priest, Haibo Dong, known as the Ice Emperor, is a true Ultimate Douluo. His cultivation is so profound that even teacher considers himself inferior."
"Teacher even called him the strongest expert on the continent, saying his power is unparalleled in history."
"Moreover, this High Priest is an Ultimate Ice soul master."
"What?"
Hearing this, Xuanzi's expression changed drastically, his face becoming serious.
A True Dragon martial soul wielder, Mu Wu?
An Ultimate Ice soul master, Haibo Dong?
"You're sure Elder Mu said that?"
Xuanzi asked in disbelief.
Yan Shaozhe nodded without hesitation, while Xian Liner and Cai Meier also nodded slightly.
Xuanzi's face grew solemn as he muttered, "There's an Ultimate Douluo with an ultimate martial soul in today's world?"
What did an Ultimate Douluo with an ultimate martial soul represent?
It represented invincibility!
Shrek Academy's history had proven that with two former deans who possessed ultimate martial souls.
And now, the Ice God Palace had such a powerhouse as well?
Most of Xuanzi's arrogance faded, and he buried any dissatisfaction deep within him.
"And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Much of the Ice God Palace's strength remains hidden."
"When I first entered the Ice God Palace, I saw nine palaces. If my guess is correct, there should be nine Guardians."
"These nine Guardians might all be Super Douluo."
"As for the rest, the teacher hinted that the Ice God Palace might have more than one Priest."
"Since Haibo Dong is called the High Priest, it's likely there are other Priests as well."
"If that's the case, then these Priests must be ranked above the Guardians. Even if they aren't as strong as the Ice Emperor, they are probably at least on par with Mu Wu."
"At the very least, they should be Rank 98 Super Douluo."
"So even if the Ice God Palace only has one Priest aside from the Ice Emperor, that still means they have at least one Ultimate Douluo and two Rank 98 Super Douluo."
"And the powerhouses of the Ice God Palace all have extraordinary soul ring configurations."
As Yan Shaozhe continued speaking, Xuanzi's frown deepened.
Such strength was truly concerning.
At least one Ultimate Douluo and two Rank 98 Super Douluo.
And they were among the strongest at their level.
How could that not be intimidating?
Moreover, Shrek Academy was not in good shape at the moment.
He was only at Rank 96, and they didn't have a single Rank 98 expert.
Elder Mu was an Ultimate Douluo, but his condition was far from good.
In comparison, Shrek Academy would be completely crushed by the Ice God Palace.
Realizing the disparity, Xuanzi's arrogance completely disappeared, replaced by bitterness.
With a deep sigh, he muttered, "So the Ice God Palace is really this strong... No wonder you all came up with this plan."
"It's not just that. The most important factor is Su Yu himself. He is a divine inheritance successor—the teacher said he is a future god."
Yan Shaozhe sighed deeply.
If Su Yu's background weren't so terrifying, he wouldn't have tolerated him so much.
Xian Liner always said he lacked courage, but in truth, he was thinking about the bigger picture.
After all, Su Yu wasn't interested in those two older women. It was just a show, and he could endure it.
His patience was something that had been tested time and again.
Xuanzi's breathing became rapid, his face filled with shock. He quickly asked, "What... what did you just say?"
"Su Yu is a divine inheritance successor?"
"Like the Sea God ancestor back then?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded.
Xuanzi's chest heaved, his eyes flickering with emotion. He clenched his fists and asked, "Besides Lexuan, does Su Yu have an interest in any other female students?"
Yan Shaozhe was dumbfounded. "Elder Xuan, what are you planning?"
Xuanzi said excitedly, "He's a divine inheritance successor! One Lexuan isn't enough. If Su Yu is interested in any other female students, we should send them to him as well!"
