Xu Xiaoyan muttered softly, "With Gu Yue taking the President of the Blacksmith Association as her master, she really doesn't have to worry about Mechas and Battle Armor."
Xie Xie laughed and said, "Hey, is President Zhenhua still taking disciples? Gu Yue, do you think I have a chance?"
Ye Xinglan mercilessly retorted, "Dream on, as if the President of the Blacksmith Association would take notice of you!"
Xu Lizhi chimed in, "Exactly, I remember President Zhenhua once announced that Gu Yue is his last disciple!"
Gu Yue didn't reply, but the look in her eyes seemed to say everything...
Just then, Yue Zhengyu happened to notice that Xie Xie's complexion was turning red at a visibly fast rate...
Confused, he said, "Xie Xie, what's wrong with you? Your face looks, suddenly very pale. Surely you haven't taken my words to heart."
Xie Xie placed a hand over his chest, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, "I... feel so uncomfortable! Inside, it's as if there's a furnace blazing hot!"
Tang Wulin's eyes sharpened, and he immediately extended his hand to release his Soul Power and started sensing...
After probing the internal situation, he exclaimed in shock, "How could this be? Xie Xie's Soul Power is extremely chaotic, and his Martial Soul is continuously assaulting his body!"
Yuanen Yehui said anxiously, "Xie Xie, how are you feeling, can you still hold on?"
Xie Xie, gritting his teeth, gave a thumbs-up, "Don't worry, Ye Hui, I... I can still hold on!"
Gu Yue interjected in a cold tone, "Xie Xie, stop wasting your breath. Focus and gather your Soul Power now, suppress the rampaging Martial Soul..."
"If you can't keep the Martial Soul in check, you might suffer a terrible backlash!"
Yuanen Yehui, with tears in her eyes, choked up, "Xie Xie, listen to Gu Yue, quickly use all your strength to suppress your Martial Soul!"
She definitely didn't want the man she acknowledged to suffer any accidents!
It would be a regret for a lifetime!
Upon hearing this, Xie Xie immediately sat down cross-legged and tried to circulate his Soul Power to suppress his Martial Soul...
But judging by his constantly trembling chest, the situation was clearly far from optimistic!
Xu Lizhi knew he couldn't be of much help, so he said, "Let's all watch over Xie Xie here. I'll go find a teacher!"
"No need, I'm already here!" Before he could move, Elder Long's voice rang out...
When everyone saw the suddenly appearing Elder Long, they all greeted respectfully, "Elder Long!"
Yuanen Yehui said urgently, "Elder Long, please take a look at Xie Xie, the situation inside his body is a total mess!"
Long Yeyue didn't answer but walked behind Xie Xie, placing a hand on the back of his head...
Then, a massive burst of spiritual power erupted, instantly penetrating to see the condition inside him...
After a long while, she finally said in astonishment, "This shouldn't be happening. This child doesn't seem to be under any curse-like attacks, and moreover, his Martial Soul is evolving on its own. He shouldn't be feeling any pain!"
Tang Wulin asked in confusion, "Evolving? Elder Long, can you explain that in more detail?"
The rest were also puzzled, not understanding the meaning of her words...
Long Yeyue glanced at the crowd and explained, "In simple terms, Xie Xie's Martial Soul is likely undergoing a mutation as his soul power rank increases! No, evolution is a more accurate word."
"As long as he can endure this excruciating pain that tears through the flesh, he will unlock even greater potential!"
All along, she had regarded Xie Xie's talent as only a supporting role among the Shrek Seven Monsters. Unexpectedly, such an event had occurred!
It seems she had misjudged!
This child's potential is not weaker than any one of the Shrek Seven Monsters!
Yuanen Yehui finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Elder Long, if you say so, does that mean Xie Xie is not in any danger of life-given circumstances, right?"
Long Yeyue nodded slightly, "Indeed, that's the case, but I don't recommend interrupting this process. Otherwise, it would ruin his chance!"
Yuanen Yehui pursed her lips, her gaze firmly fixed on Xie Xie, afraid that something unexpected might happen to him...
Seemingly to ease the tense atmosphere, Yue Zhengyu coughed, "Cough, cough, Yehui, rest assured, although Xie Xie has been a bit foolish, his state of mind is still quite good!"
Tang Wulin immediately understood and chimed in, "Yeah, as members of the Shrek Seven Monsters, we have all suffered so much under the seven Old Demons. This bit of pain is nothing."
"If such a trifling amount of pain could defeat Xie Xie, that would be too embarrassing!"
Ye Xinglan said, "Agreed. Let's just stay here and protect Xie Xie. He will definitely succeed!"
...
The next day!
Xie Xie, who had been closing his eyes and cultivating, suddenly opened them and excitedly stood up, shouting, "I did it, I succeeded! My Martial Soul has successfully evolved, hahaha!"
Yue Zhengyu, who was closest and first to be awakened, complained with a face full of impatience, "Who's making all that noise this early in the morning!"
The rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters also woke up one after another to Xie Xie's excited shouts...
Only then did Xie Xie come back to his senses and turned his eyes toward the Shrek Seven Monsters and others, exclaiming in surprise, "Everyone... has been by my side the whole night?"
Yue Zhengyu replied irritably, "No kidding, we were worried something might happen to you, and Yehui would be heartbroken!"
Yuanen Yehui glared at him, "Yue Zhengyu, what are you talking about!"
However, seeing that Xie Xie was alright, her mood was still quite good!
Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously, "Xie Xie, we were woken up early in the morning by your wild laughter, did you succeed?"
Tang Wulin urged, "Come on, tell us, what changes happened to your Martial Soul? It wasn't in vain that we stayed up all night!"
Gu Yue nodded in agreement...
Xie Xie patted his chest and announced solemnly, "Alright, then let me grandly introduce my new Martial Soul to everyone - the Space-Time Dragon!"
Having said that, he released his Martial Soul!
At first glance, besides the difference in the halo, it didn't seem to have any notable changes from the Light Dragon Dagger and Dark Dragon Dagger!
Xu Xiaoyan's mouth twitched, "Isn't this still your Light and Dark Dragon Dagger? What's changed?"
Ye Xinglan shook her head, "Can't see it; don't tell me the evolution failed?"
Yue Zhengyu grumbled discontentedly, "We stayed up all night just to see this result, what a waste of an expression!"
Far from being angry, Xie Xie's laughter grew even stronger, "Hehe, don't hurry, everyone. Think about it, why did I change the name of my Martial Soul to Space-Time Dragon?"
Upon hearing that, Tang Wulin exclaimed, "Space-Time Dragon... space-time, don't tell me, Xie Xie, your Martial Soul has awakened the attributes of space and time!"
Xie Xie said with a smug look, "As expected of Wulin, you grasped the meaning I wanted to convey in an instant!"
Gu Yue, expressionless, interrupted, "Xie Xie, instead of talking so much, why not demonstrate it in front of everyone!"
Xie Xie did not refuse, "Alright, then let me open your eyes and show you all just how strong my Space-Time Dragon really is!"
As one of his Soul Rings lit up, he instantly turned into a pitch-black shadow and disappeared, leaving everyone losing sight of him...
