Chapter 104: Head Soul Bone and the Sunflower Manual

The Sunflower Manual: Known as "the introductory level of Purple Cloud Divine Skill, the pinnacle of Sunflower Manual."

"What the heck did I get?" Mu Chen muttered, his mouth twitching as he looked at the secret technique in his system inventory—the Sunflower Manual!

Mu Chen was bewildered that he had acquired the Sunflower Manual.

"It's a good thing, but unfortunately, I don't have any interest in that path!"

Although Mu Chen didn't favor this secret technique, he had to admit it was a martial arts manual stronger than the Wind God Leg. This manual was only suitable for eunuchs to cultivate.

Active Soul Skill: Killing Gaze: This skill uses spiritual power to deliver a mental shock to opponents, immersing them in a world filled with murderous intent. Its power is related to the amount of spiritual output rather than soul power consumption; the more spiritual power is used, the stronger the attack becomes.

Passive Soul Skill: Perception Break: This skill can see through illusions, providing immunity to most illusions and greatly enhancing one's spiritual defense.

"The skills I gained aren't useful to me, but this superior soul bone will greatly enhance my combat abilities. Especially with my soul power level, it's remarkable that I leveled up three times."

Mu Chen's face was full of joy. An A-level task with such rewards was worth celebrating.

*Whoosh*

A figure jumped down from a tree, and Mu Chen turned his head to see an old acquaintance, Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang had changed; his mutton-chop beard was shaved, revealing a smooth face. He wore vibrant red robes instead of his usual heavy black ones, looking refreshed.

"Xiaogang?!"

Flender called out uncertainly, walking over to Yu Xiaogang and gently patting his shoulder. Seeing the smile on Yu Xiaogang's face, Flender realized his old friend had finally stepped out of his shadow.

"Everyone, let's go!" Mu Chen said calmly.

"Dean Flender..."

The three members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy board, their eyes full of reluctance, called to Flender, "His Highness has already apologized to you. Why not stay? If you choose to remain, I will recommend to His Majesty to create an additional board seat. No, two board seats."

The chief, Meng Shenji, looked at Mu Chen. Having defeated a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo, Mu Chen was fully qualified to become a board member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Esteemed elders, thank you for your hospitality. The faculty and students of Shrek Academy are united in our decision, and I can only apologize," Flender replied, his words hinting that the decision wasn't his to make but Mu Chen's.

**Ding Dong!**

"F-level hidden task triggered: Bring Shrek Academy's faculty and students to Blue Tyrant Academy."

"Bring Shrek Academy to Blue Tyrant Academy?"

Mu Chen was momentarily surprised. Blue Tyrant Academy was founded by Liu Erlong.

Mu Chen asked, "System, can I refuse?"

**Ding Dong! The host can refuse the task without penalty. No hidden tasks will be triggered for three months.**

"Let's go."

Mu Chen wasn't foolish and understood Flender's implied meaning. Without waiting for the board members or Prince Xue Xing to persuade him to stay, he began walking out of the forest.

Flender sighed lightly, looking regretfully at the three board members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Without hesitation, he followed Mu Chen.

As the dean of Shrek Academy, Flender knew well: Mu Chen was far more important than any cooperation with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Unknown to Mu Chen, Flender was willing to give up his position as dean if Mu Chen asked.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming, seeing Shrek Academy's departure, stepped forward, "Board members, I too must leave."

"What?"

"What?" 

"What?" 

"Teacher Qin, how can this be!"

"Teacher Qin Ming, why are you leaving too?"

"Teacher Qin Ming, rest assured, we will report today's events to His Majesty and ensure justice is served."

Meng Shenji and the other board members quickly reassured him.

"Thank you for your kindness, but if the royal family dislikes Shrek Academy, I have no reason to stay. I came here alone, and I will leave alone. Thank you for your care, but I must bid farewell," Qin Ming said, bowing to the board members before following Shrek Academy.

"Dean! Why did you consider cooperating with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Mu Chen asked curiously.

Survival training at the edge of life and death is the essence of true combat.

According to the original storyline, Flender sought the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's mimicry training grounds, hence the desire to cooperate. However, after the Shrek Nine Devils' experience in the City of Slaughter, they no longer needed such facilities.

"My initial intention was to elevate the academy to an advanced soul master academy, to grow it into something bigger and better—a new, glorious Shrek Academy. But after pulling many strings, I found the review for an advanced academy takes a year," Flender explained.

"We couldn't wait that long. We need to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition in a few months."

"So, the five of us had no choice. We decided to 'borrow a chicken to lay eggs' temporarily, cooperating with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to register for the competition. After the competition, we planned to establish a new academy."

Flender explained thoroughly. Unlike in the storyline, with Mu Chen and Xiao Wu's success, he had won millions of gold soul coins at the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City, enough to build an academy rivaling the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Mu Chen!"

Flender frowned, asking, "We need to find a place to 'borrow a chicken to lay eggs.' What's your plan?"

Mu Chen glanced at Flender.

Regarding the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, Mu Chen was keen to experience it. Flender was right; to participate, they needed to cooperate with an advanced academy, as accreditation would take too long.

"How about going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!" Ning Rongrong suggested, "We're close to my clan, and my father can surely help us solve our current problems."

Mu Chen shook his head, "I appreciate your offer."

Ning Rongrong felt a bit hurt, "Mu Chen, are you distancing yourself from me?"

Mu Chen smiled, "I'm not distancing myself. I just have a better suggestion."

"What suggestion?"

"What suggestion?"

"What suggestion?"

Flender, Zhao Wuji, Xiao Wu, and others eagerly awaited Mu Chen's answer.

"Blue Tyrant Academy!" Mu Chen replied.

Given the hidden task, offering rewards of soul power and skill points, Mu Chen decided to seize the opportunity.
