Chapter 20 A New Shrek Academy, Mu Bai's Transformation
"His Highness Mu Bai understands that for a business to last, it must be mutually beneficial."
Lu Qibin, representing Mu Bai, always knew when to offer a way out.
"His Highness said that although soap and bar soap are small items, the market for them is vast."
"Shrek Workshop is only responsible for production and supplying core raw materials. The specific sales in various regions can be exclusively authorized to local chambers of commerce with strength and credibility."
"As long as you adhere to uniform pricing and quality standards, the profits will naturally be considerable."
With one hand a big stick (the Star Luo royal family's identity and potential military power), and the other a carrot (exclusive operating rights and stable profits).
Furthermore, the formidable armed escort force (actually a rudimentary intelligence and operations network) demonstrated by Mu Bai through the Shrek Merchant Alliance Guard Corps led most factions to choose cooperation.
They secured a stable source of income, avoiding direct conflict with the Star Princes, while Shrek leveraged their local network to rapidly expand their product reach and maintain firm control over the source and brand.
Mu Bai even took this opportunity to achieve deeper cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's business network, achieving mutual benefit.
Of course, not all forces are buying into this.
A few, relying on their stronger backgrounds or excessive greed, attempted to force their way in.
Mu Bai's methods towards these people were direct and ruthless.
After several incidents of "caravans being robbed by unknown forces, with the guards fighting back and annihilating the enemy" or "a local chamber of commerce warehouse mysteriously catching fire, resulting in the loss of all valuable goods," the remaining members all understood the rules.
Once Mu Bai decides to intervene, there will be no room for maneuver.
His decisive and ruthless style of action, leaving no room for future troubles, has also spread, making people wary of him.
Over time, under Mu Bai's management, Shrek Academy's business has developed into a vast commercial network covering most of the continent, intertwined with the interests of various local forces, yet relatively independent and firmly controlled at its core.
This network brings not only a massive amount of gold coins, but also an all-encompassing information channel, resource acquisition capabilities, and an invisible protective umbrella formed by a community of shared interests.
Flander and the others gradually changed from initial excitement and trepidation to composure, and even developed a certain degree of awe and dependence on Mu Bai.
They discovered that this young prince was far more shrewd, cunning, and far-sighted than they had imagined.
Many things they found incredibly difficult.
With Mu Bai, a few words of guidance or a simple instruction are often enough to solve the problem.
This changed Mu Bai's status at Shrek Academy from that of a student at the beginning.
Now, he has essentially become an uncrowned board member of Shrek Academy!
However, unless absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, Mu Bai would not have interfered with Flanders and others' business of soap and bar soap.
The accounts are audited only once a year.
Mu Bai still devoted most of his energy to cultivation.
In three years, he went from a level 35 Soul Master to a level 54 Soul King.
This speed would be astonishing anywhere in mainland China!
But this is not simply a matter of accumulating soul power.
……
Shrek Academy, the restricted area behind the mountain.
The golden lightning seemed to never stop.
Mu Bai's cultivation was almost self-torture.
He used the golden lightning summoned by the "White Tiger Golden Thunder Break" technique, combined with the immense life energy provided by the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, to subject himself to brutal tempering day after day.
Skin, muscles, meridians, bones, internal organs, and even deeper bone marrow and cells are constantly broken, reorganized, and strengthened through the destruction of thunder and the repair of life force.
The vast primordial life force infused during the sacrifice of the White Tiger seven hundred thousand years ago has been thoroughly activated and integrated into every corner of this body under the inhuman tempering of these three years.
His physique was evolving at a speed that defied common sense.
In terms of physical strength, power, speed, endurance, and recovery ability alone, he has reached an unbelievable level.
Even Zhao Wuji, without activating his Martial Soul True Body, was no match for Mu Bai in terms of physical strength!
This means that even without relying on soul skills.
With his physical body alone, Mu Bai can fight head-on against a Soul Saint-level expert!
The enhancement of soul power is also accompanied by extreme compression and condensation.
The abundant soul beast meat, soul power food, ten-thousand-year whale glue, and the pure energy provided by the occasional Blue Silver Emperor tender leaves did not cause his soul power to become weak.
Instead, under the tempering of lightning and the constraints of their own powerful will, they were repeatedly hammered and compressed.
Now, the soul power in his dantian and meridians is thick and viscous like mercury, and when it circulates, it is heavy and condensed, with a faint tendency to transform into a solid state.
He was only one step away from condensing his first soul core ahead of the Soul Emperor stage.
If successful, his soul power quality, total amount, and recovery speed will all undergo a qualitative leap, laying the most solid foundation for enduring soul rings of higher age in the future, and even ultimately becoming a god.
The most astonishing change came from his spirit rings.
Beneath the disguise of the external soul bone, the Illusionary Mirage Pearl's soul bone skill, the Illusionary Mirage Domain, lies a scene powerful enough to drive any soul master mad.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.
The standard, optimally proportioned five spirit rings, as seen by the world.
However, the true color is—five scarlet soul rings!
This is unprecedented in the history of mainland China!
But this was not because he hunted down five 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
These five 100,000-year soul rings all originated from the immense original cultivation that he sealed within this human body when he sacrificed his 700,000-year-old white tiger body to seize Dai Mubai's body!
Seven hundred thousand years of cultivation, how vast!
Even though a considerable amount was consumed during the sacrifice.
However, its purest core essence is still enough to condense into seven 100,000-year soul rings!
This is his greatest foundation as a 700,000-year-old soul beast emperor who was reborn as a human, an innate advantage that no human genius can match.
In these three years.
As his physique continued to strengthen and his soul power continued to improve, his meridians and soul gradually adapted.
The sealed essence of his cultivation began to unseal and condense one by one, transforming into the most suitable and powerful soul ring for him.
From the first to the fifth spirit ring, all of them were formed from his own White Tiger essence and were all at the level of 100,000 years!
Moreover, because they are born from the same source and are perfectly compatible, their effects are even better than those of spirit rings obtained by hunting ordinary 100,000-year-old spirit beasts!
This is the true foundation upon which he dared to plan his path to godhood!
Mu Bai's mind sank into the soul ring, feeling the surging power and soul skill information that originated from the same source and were as easy to control as his own limbs.
The two main soul skills of the first soul ring are the White Tiger Gengjin Battle Armor and the White Tiger Golden Thunder Wings.
The White Tiger Geng Metal Armor needs no further explanation.
After a transformation of 100,000 years, only the full effects of the soul skills have been greatly enhanced.
However, his second soul skill, White Tiger Golden Thunder Wings, makes up for Mu Bai's current significant weakness.
White Tiger Golden Thunder Wings is a soul skill created by Mu Bai when he was in his true form as a white tiger. He gained insights from "Wind Follows the Tiger" and combined them with his understanding and control of the three attributes of wind, metal, and thunder.
After being transformed into a Soul Ring Skill.
With just a thought, Mu Bai could suddenly unfurl a pair of enormous energy wings behind him, composed entirely of highly compressed and condensed azure wind, golden Geng metal energy, and dazzling lightning!
With a wingspan exceeding five meters, its edges are as sharp as if forged from divine metal, flowing with destructive lightning patterns.
These wings not only grant Mu Bai unparalleled flight speed and agility, far surpassing other flight soul skills of the same level, but also possess terrifying attack power.
With a flap of its wings, it can unleash countless energy blades containing the speed of wind, the sharpness of metal, and the explosiveness of thunder, cutting and shredding everything in its path.
It can also be closed up to protect the body, forming a powerful defense.
When unleashed at full power, it can transform its body into wings for a super-fast attack, and nothing can withstand its wing blades!
