Just as Shi Yu was about to walk out of the Spirit Ascension Platform room, Deputy Pagoda Master Li pushed the door open and entered, his expression serious.
"Deputy Pagoda Master Li, what's wrong?" Seeing the other person's expression was off, Shi Yu asked with a slight unease.
Could it be that Senior discovered Shi Yu absorbed a Soul Bone in here and is looking for trouble?
On the surface, Shi Yu didn't make any moves, but in reality, Shi Yu was ready to leave with Naruto's Instant Transmission at any moment.
Shi Yu couldn't beat the other person, but if Shi Yu wanted to leave, Shi Yu could still do it.
"The people you killed in the Spirit Ascension Platform have complicated backgrounds. They are now demanding an explanation from you," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said.
So it was this... Shi Yu slightly relaxed. If it was just trouble from them, it wasn't as bad as Shi Yu had imagined.
"Then what does Deputy Pagoda Master Li mean?" Shi Yu tentatively asked, needing to see if this person was willing to protect Shi Yu.
"I definitely want to protect your safety. After all, it was I who had you join the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, so I should protect your safety," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said very responsibly.
The words definitely had to sound good, otherwise, how could Senior possibly win Shi Yu over as much as possible?
Shi Yu very cooperatively showed gratitude, but wasn't happy. The other party's choice of words basically indicated there would be a twist.
Soon, Deputy Pagoda Master Li's tone changed, and Senior sighed, saying, "However, among the people you killed in the Spirit Ascension Platform, one is a disciple of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Celestial Phoenix Douluo."
"She even brought up Celestial Phoenix Douluo, putting a lot of pressure on Senior. It's not an easy matter to protect you," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said with a troubled expression, sighing repeatedly.
"Then what should I do?" Shi Yu felt that the other party most likely had a solution.
Saying these words was probably for Shi Yu to hear. The more difficult the matter was to handle, the more grateful Shi Yu would be to Senior if Senior succeeded.
"For a genius like you, I can try to use my connections to contact a Senior Executive at the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters. If Senior is willing to step forward and resolve the enmity between you, then this matter can be reduced from a major issue to a minor one," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said through gritted teeth.
"Then I'll trouble Deputy Pagoda Master Li," Shi Yu said gratefully.
The other party doing this was exactly what Shi Yu wanted. If Shi Yu could connect with a Senior Executive of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda because of this, it would seem easier to obtain Soul Spirit technology.
Even if Shi Yu couldn't obtain Soul Spirit technology quickly, Shi Yu could try to use this relationship to obtain Soul Spirits with Space or Time attributes.
Shi Yu didn't necessarily need Soul Spirit technology to possess Soul Spirits; readily available Soul Spirits were the same.
Shi Yu could completely buy some Soul Spirits and store them, then absorb them when needed.
Anyway, Shi Yu could bring some things back to Shi Yu's original world; the External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances on Shi Yu's body were the best example.
"Hide in here for a while first, I'll go contact them immediately," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said as Senior walked out of the Spirit Ascension Platform room.
Shi Yu waited quietly inside, carefully feeling the changes in Shi Yu's body.
Absorbing an External Soul Bone had a very limited effect on Shi Yu's Soul Power increase, not even raising Shi Yu's Soul Power level by a single rank.
"I wonder if the Soul Ring's lifespan has increased," Shi Yu was curious in Shi Yu's heart, but now it was difficult to know the answer because Shi Yu couldn't release Shi Yu's Soul Ring.
The only thing that could be confirmed was that even with the energy stimulation from the Spirit Ascension Platform, Shi Yu still couldn't release Shi Yu's Soul Ring. This method didn't work.
Shi Yu was slightly disappointed, but only slightly. Shi Yu had no Soul Ring, but Shi Yu's Space ability had been significantly strengthened, which might be better than the effect of having a Soul Ring.
Also, even though Shi Yu didn't have a Soul Ring, Shi Yu could still use some Soul Ring abilities.
Just like the Displacement with Gu Yue before, that was the effect of Shi Yu's second Soul Ring.
Anyway, since Shi Yu could use abilities, having a Soul Ring or not seemed unimportant.
Shi Yu's current situation gave Shi Yu a feeling of a disguised ring detonation, meaning Shi Yu gained more powerful strength by sacrificing Shi Yu's Soul Rings.
The difference was that even after losing Shi Yu's Soul Rings, Shi Yu could still use abilities similar to Soul Skills.
Ten minutes later, Deputy Pagoda Master Li returned and told Shi Yu some good news: that Senior Executive was willing to step forward and resolve the enmity between them.
"But Senior also has a condition, which is that you need to become Senior's disciple. To be precise, you'll first become Senior's provisional disciple."
"After a probation period of one or two months, you can become Senior's official disciple."
"This Senior Executive's status in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda is no lower than Celestial Phoenix Douluo's. Senior's strength is formidable. Becoming Senior's disciple is definitely a profitable opportunity with no loss for you," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said with a smile, a little envious of Shi Yu's opportunity.
After Senior sent the video of Shi Yu's fight in the Spirit Ascension Platform, that Senior Executive decided to take Shi Yu as Senior's disciple.
Because Senior didn't fully understand Shi Yu's personality, family background, and other aspects, Senior temporarily accepted Shi Yu as a provisional disciple. After finding out and deeming it acceptable, Shi Yu could officially become Senior's disciple.
"What is that Senior Executive's name?" Shi Yu asked, with various guesses in Shi Yu's heart.
"Pagoda Master Qiangu," Deputy Pagoda Master Li said respectfully.
Fearing Shi Yu didn't understand Pagoda Master Qiangu's identity and status, Senior specifically explained, "The Pagoda Master Qiangu I'm talking about is not a branch Tower Master, but the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters Tower Master, meaning the highest authority. Senior is one of the most powerful people in this world."
"Senior is a supreme being at the ultimate level, and also a powerful Four-Word Battle Armor Master. Senior's personal strength is also at the peak level."
It's actually Qiangu Dongfeng... Shi Yu didn't expect Shi Yu could connect with Qiangu Dongfeng so quickly.
If Shi Yu directly became Qiangu Dongfeng's disciple, wouldn't that be a single step to becoming a core figure of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda?
With this layer of relationship, doing many things should be relatively easy for Shi Yu, and the benefits are considerable.
"Pagoda Master Qiangu is going to take me as a disciple so easily? There should be countless people who want to become a disciple of someone at Senior's level, so why did Senior choose me?" Shi Yu still asked cautiously, with a hint of doubt.
Is it really this simple to become the disciple of a top-tier supreme being?
It was so simple that Shi Yu himself felt it was unreal.
"Actually, the Senior Executive I contacted wasn't Pagoda Master Qiangu. With my authority, I'm not qualified to directly contact Pagoda Master Qiangu."
"It's just that I don't know if it was my luck or your luck, but when I contacted that Senior Executive, Pagoda Master Qiangu happened to be present, and Senior also watched the video of your fight in the Spirit Ascension Platform."
"Your performance surprised Senior and also caught Senior's attention."
"Later, when Senior heard that among the people you defeated was Celestial Phoenix Douluo's disciple, Pagoda Master Qiangu praised you repeatedly, and it seems it was also because of this that Senior decided to take you as a disciple," Deputy Pagoda Master Li explained.
Senior actually didn't just contact the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters Senior Executive in the last ten minutes; Senior had contacted them before.
These ten minutes were just for show.
"So, Pagoda Master Qiangu taking me as a disciple actually has a bit of the meaning of competing with Celestial Phoenix Douluo?" Shi Yu understood.
"You can't say that either. The main reason is that Senior values your talent," Deputy Pagoda Master Li emphasized.
