"Furina has two purple and two black, while the boy named Huo Yuhao has one white, one purple, and one black." Bei Bei's tone still carried disbelief.
"What did you say?" Even with Mu En's experience, he could not help but be moved at this moment. "Two purple and two black? And another with one white, one purple, and one black? Bei Bei, are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
"It is absolutely true; this is what I saw with my own eyes." Bei Bei solemnly guaranteed.
Mu En was silent for a long time, finally sighing softly. "They are truly two little monsters! The Axis Cult... could it really be related to the Water God?" He shook his head self-deprecatingly, then seemed to remember something. "I have indeed seen the young girl you described today. She even gave me some things."
Mu En took out the longevity gu and golden doughnut vanilla cake gifted by Furina and placed them on the stone table in front of him.
Bei Bei curiously examined the two items. "A bug and a cake? I don't know what the bug is, but it must be extraordinary. This cake should be made by her Spirit Ability, because her first Martial Soul is a cake. I guess it's her Fourth Spirit Ability, after all, I have seen her Second and Third Soul Skills, and the First Soul Skill shouldn't be able to have this effect."
"A Food Element Soul Master, reaching Rank 47 at such a young age..." Mu En muttered to himself. "For so many years, even in our Shrek Academy, which only accepts monsters, there has never been such a Heaven-Defying Genius. And that boy you mentioned, his first spirit ring being white is truly a pity."
"Actually I don't think it's a pity," Bei Bei explained. "His First Soul Skill has two effects — Spiritual Sharing and Spiritual Detection; these two auxiliary abilities are extremely powerful."
"That is strange," Mu En frowned slightly. "I have never heard of a ten-year spirit ring having such an effect. There must be some secret in this."
Bei Bei couldn't help but smile. "Naturally, there are secrets. The secrets of the Axis Cult are probably even more unfathomable than we imagine."
The twilight deepened, and the distant dormitory buildings had already lit up with scattered lights. Mu En stared at the longevity gu and the cake on the table, lost in thought. The crystal-clear gu bug shimmered with a strange luster under the afterglow of the setting sun, while the golden cake emitted an alluring sweet fragrance.
"Profound Ancestor, how do you think we should treat them?" Bei Bei asked softly.
Profound Ancestor slowly raised his head, his gaze seeming to pierce through time and space. "Let nature take its course. Such geniuses descending upon Shrek are both an opportunity and a challenge. Since you have already joined the Axis Cult, seize this opportunity well. Perhaps..." He paused, his voice becoming deeper. "This will be an opportunity to change the landscape of the continent."
Bei Bei nodded solemnly, feeling even more curious about that mysterious Pope. He recalled Furina's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and her composure when casually gifting Cultivation Technique and resources; all of this indicated that the Axis Cult was by no means an ordinary Sect.
"By the way, Profound Ancestor," Bei Bei suddenly remembered something. "Furina also mentioned that she would recruit students to join the Axis Cult during her time at Shrek. Additionally, her class is Teacher Zhou Yi's class, and she once indicated that she wanted to let Zhou Yi see what a real teacher is. I am afraid there might be some conflicts when that happens..."
A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Mu En's mouth. "As long as she doesn't violate the Academy's rules and doesn't force students, let her be. Rest assured, with me here, she will not be expelled. Furthermore, I am also very curious to see what kind of waves this young Pope of the Water God Cult can stir up in Shrek."
Night finally fell, and a crescent moon climbed onto the branches. Bei Bei bowed to Mu En to take his leave and turned to melt into the night. Mu En remained sitting in place, fiddling with the longevity gu in his hand, his eyes flickering with complex light.
In the ten-thousand-year history of Shrek Academy, there had never been such special students. Mu En had a premonition that the arrival of Furina and Huo Yuhao would stir up unprecedented waves in this ancient academy. And all of this might just be the change that Shrek, and even the entire Douluo Continent, needed.
