The disdain for Shi Yu not having Soul Skills disappeared completely; that was no longer important.
Being able to silently approach Senior even when Senior was paying careful attention was something many Space attribute Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level found difficult to do; there would always be some slight precursor movement.
But when Shi Yu moved, there was no sound at all, it was too silent.
This was enough to show the excellence of his ability. Without a Soul Ring, this ability was even more surprising than a Soul Ring Skill.
"How many times can you use this Naruto's Instant Transmission?" Deputy Pagoda Master Li asked, his gaze slightly heated.
"It depends on the situation. The furthest I can move is a hundred meters. Estimating based on a hundred meters distance, I can probably move about a hundred times," Shi Yu said after thinking for a moment.
Naturally, it was false data. He could reveal some abilities but wouldn't completely expose them.
The actual situation might be several times that amount.
The first time he crossed over, his furthest movement distance was only two hundred meters, but this time the limit is definitely not two hundred meters.
He hadn't tried to see exactly how much it was.
Deputy Pagoda Master Li became even more surprised. A hundred movements of a hundred meters each?
"Whether you have Soul Rings or not is actually not very important with this ability you have," Deputy Pagoda Master Li affirmed Shi Yu's ability.
"In terms of Soul Master ability, you might be at a disadvantage due to the lack of Soul Rings, but if you are equipped with powerful gear, allowing you to fight without relying on Soul Rings, then you will become a very powerful warrior."
"Imagine equipping you with a set of highly lethal weapons, combined with your Naruto's Instant Transmission ability, silently appearing close to your opponent for a sudden attack – few people would survive that," Deputy Pagoda Master Li directly planned Shi Yu's development direction in his mind.
This was by no means an exaggeration, but truly feasible. If Shi Yu had launched a powerful attack the moment he got close to Senior just now, Senior, a Soul Douluo, might have lost his life.
Of course, the premise was that the attack Shi Yu launched at that moment had to be powerful enough.
He might not be able to do this relying on his own Martial Soul ability, but Soul Guidance Devices could compensate for his lack of offensive power.
This era was no longer an era solely reliant on Martial Soul abilities. There was much Soul Guidance technology that could compensate for the shortcomings of Martial Soul abilities.
"Really?" Shi Yu pretended to be surprised, but quickly regained his composure and insisted, "That's all for the future. For now, Shi Yu still wants to try entering the Spirit Ascension Platform to see if the stimulation from Soul Spirit energy can make my Soul Ring appear."
"You want to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform because of this?" Deputy Pagoda Master Li asked.
"Mm," Shi Yu nodded and said, "I heard that the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platform can increase the age limit of Soul Rings, and even pure Soul Rings can have their age limit increased by the energy inside."
"So Shi Yu was thinking of using the energy inside to stimulate the Soul Ring and see if there would be any miraculous effects."
Deputy Pagoda Master Li pondered for a moment before saying, "It is possible it could help."
Senior wasn't entirely sure, as Senior had never encountered a similar situation. Looking at Shi Yu's expectant expression, Deputy Pagoda Master Li smiled and said:
"Are you interested in joining the Spirit Transfer Pagoda? If you join, not only will you gain the qualification to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, but we will also do our best to help you resolve your Soul Ring issue."
"If it cannot be resolved, we will also help you improve your combat abilities."
"Just like I said before, you only need to be equipped with some weapons, and the drawback of you not having Soul Skills will no longer be a problem."
What Senior valued most was Shi Yu's silent Naruto's Instant Transmission ability; this was an excellent assassin.
Being able to silently approach a Soul Douluo at just over twenty levels, what would happen when he reached the Soul Douluo level?
"After joining the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, does Shi Yu need to do anything? It's impossible to gain benefits for free, right?" Shi Yu asked cautiously.
Shi Yu really wanted to join the Spirit Transfer Pagoda to gain benefits, but couldn't appear too eager; Shi Yu should play hard to get.
Seeing Shi Yu's reaction, Deputy Pagoda Master Li inwardly thought, 'Good,' and said in a gentle tone, "There are many divisions of labor among the personnel within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. Some need to work every day, while some genius Soul Masters don't need to bother with these trivial matters."
"For example, you are definitely a rare genius. If you join the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, I will recommend you to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Battle Heaven Department."
"What the Soul Masters in this department need to do is improve their own strength as much as possible."
"The Spirit Transfer Pagoda will provide you with various cultivation resources, allowing you to cultivate and improve without any worries."
"What you need to contribute is merely exerting effort when the Spirit Transfer Pagoda issues some missions."
"Such missions might not even occur once or twice in a year or two; it can be said to be very easy," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said, listing various benefits, trying his best to win over Shi Yu.
Senior not only valued his Martial Soul ability but also his background. If he truly had two Title Douluo parents and was a Three-Word Battle Armor Master, then recruiting him to join the Spirit Transfer Pagoda would be equivalent to establishing a connection with these two Title Douluo. This would definitely be of immense benefit to the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
It would allow them to be more valued at the headquarters, and various resources would increase accordingly. The benefits were countless.
"In that case, Shi Yu feels like Shi Yu is taking advantage of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda," Shi Yu said, pretending to be embarrassed.
Deputy Pagoda Master Li smiled and comforted, "If you feel you owe the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, just work hard to improve and become stronger. Perhaps in the future, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda will rely on you to protect it. At that time, it won't be you owing the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, but the Spirit Transfer Pagoda owing you."
Shi Yu nodded, no longer playing hard to get, and agreed, "Since there are so many benefits, Shi Yu has no reason to refuse. Shi Yu is willing to join the Spirit Transfer Pagoda."
"Good," Deputy Pagoda Master Li happily patted Shi Yu's shoulder and took out a document from the drawer.
"Just fill in your personal information according to the instructions on it. For the joining application afterwards, just write three or four hundred words casually; it's just a formality," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said.
Shi Yu nodded, went to the workstation by the window, sat down, and filled in the information. It was basically the same as what Shi Yu had filled in before, except for the name and Martial Soul which were real; everything else was mixed with falsehoods.
There were also many agreements on it, such as a loyalty agreement. After joining the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, one must be loyal to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and must not be involved with other forces, except for one's own family and Academy.
However, attending the Academy was limited to studying; one must not have too deep involvement.
There was also a clear note on it, stating to try not to get too deeply involved with Shrek Academy.
If the loyalty agreement was violated, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda had the right to bypass the law and deal with the person.
The laws and regulations of this world also stated that murder was a crime, but rules were rules; in reality, there were still many people who committed murder and arson.
The weak were punished, while the strong mostly got away with it.
Either they hid well, making it difficult for the Federal to track them, or their strength was too great and their background too profound, so the Federal could only turn a blind eye.
The Spirit Transfer Pagoda was a superpower that could make the Federal turn a blind eye.
If they wanted to kill someone who had made a big mistake within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, they would have no reservations, and the Federal side wouldn't have much to say.
This loyalty clause was actually optional; the Spirit Transfer Pagoda would still act that way without it. Having this loyalty clause just made their actions more legitimate.
Of course, there were quite a few others who, like the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, could bypass some rules when doing things. Shrek and Tang Sect were among them.
