Tang Wulin's gaze was deathly locked onto the bottle in Mu Ye's hand.
Within that soft cluster of light, that stalk of Blue Silver Grass covered in silver patterns was swaying gently, as if beckoning to him.
"Teacher Mu Ye..."
Tang Wulin's voice carried a hint of confusion and an indescribable throb of emotion.
"What is this thing?"
He paused, his brow furrowing slightly as if he were trying to capture some fleeting sensation.
"I... have a very strange feeling."
"What kind of feeling?"
Mu Ye asked.
Tang Wulin fell silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his words.
"My Blue Silver Emperor has a natural affinity for ordinary Blue Silver Grass; that feeling is very natural and peaceful..."
"But..."
His gaze fell once more upon the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass in the glass bottle, his voice growing more serious.
"That affinity is far inferior to the feeling I have toward this stalk of Blue Silver Grass."
"It... seems to have some sort of very close connection with me, much closer than the connection between the Blue Silver Emperor and Blue Silver Grass."
After Tang Wulin finished speaking, even he felt it was somewhat inconceivable and shook his head.
"I don't really know how to describe it; anyway, it's just very strange."
Listening to Tang Wulin's words, the corners of Mu Ye's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Your feeling is not wrong."
He paused, then spoke slowly, emphasizing every word.
"Because this stalk of Blue Silver Grass is the second Spirit that Dean Lin Feng prepared for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room instantly fell silent.
...
Xie Xie was the first to react, jumping directly from his chair with eyes wide open.
"What?!"
His voice was full of disbelief.
"A second Spirit?!"
"Teacher Mu Ye, you're not joking, right? Can a second Spirit even be prepared?"
Wei Xiaofeng was also completely dazed.
"Wait... doesn't Wulin already have a Blue Silver Grass Spirit? And he has that Golden Dragon King Bloodline... and now another second Spirit?"
Although Ling Luochen didn't speak, her cold eyes were filled with shock.
On the entire continent, Spirit Masters with twin spirits were as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns!
Moreover, as far as she knew, Spirits were generally Innately Awakened. Even if some Spirits appeared later, it was because they hadn't been awakened previously.
There was no such thing as an Acquired, prepared second Spirit. However... thinking of the Spirit Souls in the school, Ling Luochen's heart was full of shock. Could it be that the Academy had also mastered the technology to manufacture a second Spirit?
But... Ling Luochen took a deep breath, still feeling it was somewhat ridiculous.
"But... Teacher Mu Ye, a Spirit is the foundation of a Spirit Master. Won't forcibly adding a new Spirit have side effects?"
"Furthermore, Tang Wulin already has a Blue Silver Grass Spirit, plus the Golden Dragon King Bloodline... with another second Spirit, can his body withstand it?"
Mu Ye glanced at Ling Luochen, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
"You certainly consider things thoroughly."
He waved his hand.
"But rest assured, since the Dean dared to prepare this for Wulin, he naturally has confidence."
"As for side effects... there are none. On the contrary, this is a massive boost for Wulin."
Mu Ye's gaze fell on Tang Wulin, his tone carrying a hint of envy.
...
Xie Xie was listening in a fog, but there was one question he had been holding back for a long time.
"Teacher Mu Ye."
"I have a question... how exactly do you go about this second Spirit?"
"Is Boss supposed to just swallow this stalk of Blue Silver Grass?"
Mu Ye rolled his eyes directly.
"Do you think this is eating jelly beans? Just swallow it and you're done?"
Xie Xie shrunk his neck back after being rebuked and gave a sheepish laugh.
"Then... how do you do it?"
"How could the Fusion of a new Spirit be that simple?"
Mu Ye said crossly.
"The things involved here are extremely complex: Physical Body strength, Mental Force, Spirit compatibility, Bloodline compatibility... not a single one can be missing."
"One mistake, and at best the Fusion fails; at worst..."
He paused and didn't continue, but the meaning was already obvious.
Tang Wulin's expression became slightly more solemn.
But soon, a flash of determination crossed his eyes.
"Teacher Mu Ye, I believe in the Dean, and I believe in myself."
"I can definitely do it."
Mu Ye looked at him and nodded with satisfaction.
"Good, it's good to have that Spirit."
...
Xie Xie continued to press for answers.
"Then... Teacher Mu Ye, what exactly is so special about this stalk of Blue Silver Grass?"
"Ordinary Blue Silver Grass definitely couldn't serve as Boss's second Spirit, right?"
Mu Ye glanced at him, then spoke slowly.
"You're right."
He reached out and gently shook the glass bottle in his hand, causing the soft cluster of light inside to ripple gently.
"This Blue Silver Grass is no ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
His tone grew more solemn.
"Within it, there is... the Silver Dragon King Bloodline."
Silver Dragon King!
As soon as these three words came out, the room fell silent once again.
Everyone's eyes simultaneously landed on Tang Wulin.
They knew very well that Tang Wulin already possessed the Golden Dragon King Bloodline!
Golden Dragon King!
Silver Dragon King!
One gold, one silver!
These two names were obviously counterparts!
Golden Dragon King Bloodline plus Silver Dragon King Bloodline...
What would that become?
Xie Xie's throat bobbed, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Wait... Boss already has the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, and now there's a Silver Dragon King Bloodline..."
"Is he going to turn into the Dragon God?"
Back at Shrek Academy, the academy had lectured them about Tang Wulin's Bloodline, including the matters of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King.
And the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King were formed when the Dragon God split in two; their level was extremely high. One must know that the Dragon God's combat power was incredibly terrifying.
"Exactly what will happen, I'm not sure either. Ultimately, we'll have to see the results."
Mu Ye also understood everyone's curiosity but did not explain further, only telling them to wait and see the results.
...
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart as he looked at the glass bottle in Mu Ye's hand.
"Teacher Mu Ye."
He spoke up and asked.
"Then next... how do I fuse with this Blue Silver Grass?"
Mu Ye shook his head.
"No rush."
"Fusing with this thing isn't something you can complete alone; someone needs to assist you from the side."
"So, we have to wait for someone to arrive."
Tang Wulin was slightly taken aback.
"Wait for who?"
A look of expectation flashed in his eyes.
"Is the Dean coming personally?"
Mu Ye glanced at him and then shook his head.
"No."
He smiled, his tone carrying a bit of teasing.
"If the Dean were coming personally, would I need to bring this bottle from the Academy? Wouldn't the Dean just give it to you directly?"
Tang Wulin thought about it; that made sense.
He scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"Then... is it another teacher from the Academy?"
Mu Ye didn't answer directly but waved his hand instead.
"Don't be anxious, the person should be arriving soon."
...
No sooner had he spoken.
A buzzing vibration suddenly came from Mu Ye's chest.
It was the sound of a communicator.
Mu Ye reached into his clothes and pulled out the communicator. After glancing at the message on it, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"They're here."
He raised his head and looked at Tang Wulin.
"The person has arrived."
A look of curiosity flashed in Tang Wulin's eyes.
Xie Xie, Wei Xiaofeng, and Ling Luochen also looked toward the door in unison.
