for Advance Chapter
The clear, mirror-like waters were awash with a hint of mist, lending it a hazy yet alluring beauty. Built in memory of the first ancestor, Tang San, Seagod Lake boasts a vast expanse larger than the rest of Shrek combined. A small wooden boat plowed through the water, slowly making its way toward Seagod Island in the center of the lake. Two people stood aboard, one of them a slightly frail figure, likely a woman or an underdeveloped teenager. His body trembled slightly, as if suppressing some emotion within him. "Yuhao, we'll be there in an hour. Don't get too excited. Your teachers will be inside, so just be polite."
The generous voice was a little low, and although he was speaking words of comfort, the ups and downs of his words also showed that he was not at peace inside.
The two people on the boat were none other than Mu Yu and Huo Yuhao, master and disciple. After Huo Yuhao achieved first place in the freshman class through bizarre circumstances, he had initially achieved his desired goal. The Spirit Department first contacted Zhou Lian to inquire about the situation, only to learn that Mu Yu had already been accepted as a disciple. The two deans approached him, and under pressure from Yan Shaozhe, he revealed the secret of Huo Yuhao's twin spirits and exceptional mental power. Upon learning of Huo Yuhao's true talent, Yan Shaozhe believed that Huo Yuhao deserved to be a core disciple of the Spirit Department. Considering that the Soul Guidance Department had already accepted him as a disciple, the old fox declared that he would also accept him as a disciple, stating that he needed a male disciple to support him in his old age.
Qian Duoduo naturally understood his intentions. Dean Qian, believing himself to be in the right, argued fiercely with Yan Shaozhe over a single disciple, neither able to convince the other. While Yan Shaozhe was formidable, Qian Duoduo was a member of the Sea God Pavilion, and Mu Yu, with his extensive knowledge of spirit tools, was also a factor. Under these circumstances, a forced seizure was impossible. So, over a small, second-ring academy, the Sea God Pavilion meeting, the one that would determine Shrek's future, was convened. The Martial Spirit Department and the Spirit Guidance Department had long harbored grudges, and this scramble for a position ignited a heated argument. The once solemn and sacred Sea God Pavilion meeting was thick with tension, nearly devolving into a battlefield. Only after the Pavilion Master spoke did the meeting finally calm down. Mu Yu still remembered how, upon that person's appearance, even the usually frivolous Elder Xuan straightened his seat, and the four deans, who had been on edge just moments before, suddenly became as docile as kittens. "Well, that's all. Meeting adjourned."
The voice was calm and peaceful, yet it had the final word. Knowing that his disciple might have a new teacher on this trip, Mu Yu wasn't dismayed, but rather excited. Who was it?! He had only been a member of the Sea God Pavilion for so long, and he hadn't expected him to still be alive! Most importantly, he might even accept his own disciple as his apprentice! His own soul power wasn't high, so all he had to teach Huo Yuhao was his soul guide. As for martial spirits, he certainly wasn't qualified to teach them, but in a sense, he was on the same level as him!
In contrast to Mu Yu's excitement, he was genuinely startled when Mu Yu appeared in person at his dormitory door. Just a moment before, he'd been venting his lust on his teacher's wife, ejaculating profusely inside her womb and threatening to have her bear his child. And then, the next moment, his teacher appeared before him. He felt a mixture of guilt and fear. Did his teacher's wife tell him? Seeing Mu Yu's excited face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling the absurd night, he decided that even if he felt bad for his teacher, it was better to keep this to himself.
At this moment, his eyes shone purple as he tried to break through the drifting clouds to see what Seagod Island looked like, but it was all in vain, even though his Purple Demonic Pupil had already entered the second realm. Except under special circumstances, ordinary people could not fly above Seagod Lake. It wasn't because of some powerful restriction, but out of respect for the Seagod, so they could only take the small wooden boat to the Seagod Island slowly. The Seagod Pavilion Master wanted to see him, and the young Huo Yuhao was both delighted and worried. Part of him feared his strength would be exposed, while the other was happy that the academy was taking him seriously, and that his strength could improve faster. What he didn't know was that the Seagod Pavilion Master's summons was more than just a formality; his fate would even be changed by this encounter.
The three-story building stood about ten meters tall, plain and unassuming. A black plaque hung directly above the ground floor entrance, bearing three large, gilded characters: Seagod Pavilion. It was different from what Huo Yuhao had imagined. Though unassuming, the small building filled Huo Yuhao with awe. This was Seagod Pavilion, and those who emerged from it were all truly outstanding figures. And now, a bastard like him was about to enter. This was even more exciting than when he had first won the favor of the Ice Silkworm. After all, being here meant becoming stronger! Even the White Tiger Duke wasn't worthy of being here!
"Xiaoyu, go back. Let this kid stay and chat with me. I'm old now, and I just like kids who are a little more energetic."
Just as Huo Yuhao was looking at the wooden house in deep thought, an old and distant voice sounded. At the same time, the wooden house in front of Huo Yuhao suddenly lit up, and a brilliant golden light instantly bloomed. The entire small building turned completely golden, like a pavilion built of pure gold.
Mu Yu bowed and took his leave. Before leaving, he gave Huo Yuhao an encouraging look. The opportunity was right before him and he had to seize it. "Okay, come in, little one."
The voice sounded again. Huo Yuhao looked at the entrance and didn't know how to get in. He felt a rich and soft golden light around his body. The heavy breath of light enveloped him and he felt dizzy. The next moment he disappeared on the spot.
"Ruyu arrives, spirit teleports!"
At the moment Huo Yuhao was teleported, the Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's spiritual world shouted loudly, and at the same time looked solemn. A strong man, an absolute strong man. This person's control over spiritual power is no worse than mine. He has integrated the spirit and elements together, and to some extent, it is even better than the Ice Silkworm. This is definitely a top strong man in the human world.
The dizziness dissipated, and Huo Yuhao regained consciousness. He found himself in a small room, facing an elderly man in a similar wooden wheelchair. The old man's hair was silver, and his wrinkled face wore a gentle smile. Huo Yuhao knew the person who wanted to see him was the Sea God Pavilion Master. Although the old man looked frail and ready to be buried at any moment, he was undoubtedly the Pavilion Master. He clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Outer Court Disciple Huo Yuhao, greeting the Pavilion Master."
A soft, warm light element filled the room. The wheelchair-bound elder smiled silently as he surveyed the young man before him—no, the child, that is. Huo Yuhao hunched over, a slight chill running down his forehead. He dared not move without the elder's words. With his spiritual power already established, he could sense the elder's scrutiny. That warm, gentle energy was different from Brother Tianmeng's, yet both left him feeling overwhelmed. Could he have discovered my secret? Thinking of what Brother Tianmeng had just said, Huo Yuhao's restless heart calmed.
"Call me teacher."
The peaceful and calm voice carried an irrefutable force. "Teacher," the clever Huo Yuhao paused for a moment before reacting quickly. He looked up at the hunched old man before him. The Sea God Pavilion Master wanted to accept him as a disciple? Though it was unbelievable, no matter how many secrets and trump cards he had, they would be useless in the face of such overwhelming strength. Besides, it wasn't necessarily that he was going to harm him. With that thought, Huo Yuhao felt less afraid.
"My last name is Mu, and I want to take you in as my disciple because of your hidden ultimate ice."
Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged, as he had anticipated all of this.
"I know you have many secrets, but I won't ask. As long as you are human and not from the Sun-Moon Empire, these are your opportunities. You are a student of Shrek, and as your teacher, I won't ask unless you agree."
Mu Lao said calmly without changing his expression.
His words made Huo Yuhao breathe a sigh of relief and at the same time gave him a greater sense of belonging to Shrek. This was the magnanimity and tolerance that Shrek had possessed for thousands of years. If he were somewhere else, he would probably have to consider how to escape.
"Your current strength is still too weak. As you go out to gain experience, those who are interested will be able to see clues in you. For example, if you cultivate here for a few days, you can obtain three or four spirit rings when you go out. Tell others that it was my help. Improving your strength as soon as possible will benefit both you and the academy."
Huo Yuhao's heart was in turmoil when he heard the phrase "Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone." Was that true? But Elder Mu's subsequent words reassured him. Elder Mu had clearly seen through his level 40 nature, but was willing to help him conceal it, so he quickly replied yes.
He stood there, not knowing what to do, when he saw Old Mu still with a faint smile on his face. He stretched out his hunched and skinny hand and gently stroked it. The familiar feeling came over him again. Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and smiled. Brother Tianmeng's guess was indeed correct.
Just now, during the first teleportation, the Ice Silkworm had taken advantage of the moment to tell Huo Yuhao that he could reveal some secrets. He believed the other party was too powerful, and he might be able to see through something. However, he didn't need to worry too much about someone who could control such pure and gentle light power. And so it turned out, even exceeding the Ice Silkworm's expectations. Elder Mu simply revealed Huo Yuhao's secret and even offered to help him keep it secret. Whatever his motives, it was ultimately beneficial to him, wasn't it? ...
