"The environment here is truly refreshing." Fang Yang exclaimed, his gaze filled with vibrant vitality wherever he looked.
Yun Ming did not say anything, merely waving his sleeve lightly. A flash of silver light streaked by, and the figures of the two instantly vanished from where they stood.
The next moment, Fang Yang felt his vision blur, and his figure had already arrived on an island.
This was Sea God Island!
Whether in terms of geographical location or symbolic significance, it was the most core location of Shrek Academy.
Compared to the outside World, the vegetation on the island was even more dense and lush, with towering ancient trees blocking out the sky, resembling an untouched primeval forest.
The air was filled with rich spirit power of heaven and earth, and every breath was refreshing.
"Follow me." Yun Ming's voice rang out from ahead.
He brought Fang Yang before a towering ancient tree that stood majestically.
This ancient tree was unimaginably tall, with a thick trunk and a crown that reached into the clouds, endless to the eye.
The surface of the trunk shimmered with a faint golden light, exuding an ancient and sacred Aura.
This was one of the foundations of Shrek Academy, the golden ancient tree!
It had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, containing the spirit power of generations of Sea God Pavilion Masters, and was the treasure of Shrek Academy.
On the golden ancient tree, a massive treehouse was built into the tree, crafted with exquisite ingenuity.
Hanging at the entrance of the treehouse was an ancient plaque, with three large, sweeping characters written on it: "Sea God Pavilion!"
The Sea God Pavilion was the highest decision-making center for the entire Shrek Academy and Shrek City.
It could be said that any decision that came from here could shake the entire continent.
According to regulations, only the most powerful elders of Shrek Academy were qualified to reside here.
Even Wu Changkong's teacher, the Scarlet Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi, could only build his own treehouse on the periphery of the golden ancient tree to live in.
Yun Ming led Fang Yang slowly up the spiraling wooden stairs, arriving at the top of the treehouse.
He smiled slightly, leading Fang Yang into a living room within the Sea God Pavilion.
A woman with a stunningly beautiful face was sitting on the sofa.
She had a slender figure and looked to be about thirty years old, with a beautiful face and a temperament that was clean, elegant, and full of life.
A head of ink-green hair cascaded behind her like a waterfall, and a gentle smile graced her face, making one feel a sense of closeness upon seeing her.
She was the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li, a level 98 Healing-type Super Douluo, and the number one Healing-type Spirit Master in the World.
Legend had it that as long as a Spirit Master still had a breath of life, Ya Li could save them. She could even perform incredible healing miracles such as regenerating severed limbs and bringing the dead back to life.
"Brother Ming, you're back." Ya Li raised her eyes and smiled faintly, her gaze passing gently over Yun Ming and landing on Fang Yang behind him.
Her voice was as warm as a spring breeze, making one feel a sense of closeness involuntarily.
"Yes, I'm back."
Yun Ming's voice softened involuntarily, a trace of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, this powerful Sea God Pavilion Master, the Sky Reaching Douluo who shook the continent, seemed like nothing more than a husband returning home, having set aside all his majesty and burdens.
"Holy Spirit Douluo." Fang Yang bowed respectfully.
Ya Li smiled slightly: "You must be the Big Brother Fang Yang that Naer talks about every day."
"Yes." Fang Yang bowed slightly.
Yun Ming stood silently to the side. Although he didn't find this kid very pleasing to the eye, he had to admit that his character was good.
Seeing this, Ya Li's smile deepened, and she called out softly into the room: "Naer, come quickly and see who is here."
"Mistress, I'm coming." A crisp response came from within.
When Naer appeared at the doorway, she froze completely.
The young girl with cascading silver hair stood dazed on the spot, her amethyst-like eyes filled with disbelief.
"Big Brother Fang Yang!" The next moment, she threw herself into Fang Yang's arms, her sweet voice laced with sobs.
"Naer..." Fang Yang caught her gently, stroking her soft hair.
Naer hugged Fang Yang tightly, her delicate body trembling slightly with excitement, as if she wanted to pour all her longing from these years into this embrace.
Yun Ming's expression was ugly, and he looked at Fang Yang with a complex gaze.
This kid already had so many confidantes surrounding him, and now even his most cherished Disciple, Naer, was so attached to him...
"Ahem, Naer." Yun Ming coughed lightly, his voice carrying a hint of majesty.
"Teacher..." Naer finally lifted her head from Fang Yang's embrace reluctantly, but her small hands still gripped his sleeve tightly.
Seeing this, Ya Li's eyes flashed with a knowing smile: "Fang Yang, it seems Naer really misses you."
Fang Yang gently rubbed Naer's silver hair: "I miss Naer very much too."
Yun Ming watched this scene, and although he was unhappy, he could only sigh helplessly.
He said in a deep voice: "Fang Yang, let's go out for the assessment."
"Very well, Pavilion Master." Fang Yang nodded respectfully.
Just like that, Yun Ming led Fang Yang away from the treehouse.
Seeing this, Ya Li said softly to Naer: "Naer, let's go out and watch too."
"Yes!" Naer nodded, her amethyst-like eyes sparkling with anticipation.
In an open space on Sea God Island, surrounded by towering ancient trees, the air was filled with dense fluctuations of spirit power.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground.
Yun Ming stood in the center of the field with his hands behind his back, his black hair fluttering gently in the breeze.
He simply stood there, and it was as if he had merged with the entire World, exuding a terrifying Aura that made one's heart palpitate.
Those deep eyes seemed capable of seeing through all things in the World.
"Do you know why I brought you to Sea God Island?" Yun Ming's voice was low.
Fang Yang smiled slightly: "I presume Pavilion Master wants to see my true strength."
"Smart."
Yun Ming's gaze fell on Fang Yang, "Naer speaks very highly of you, now, let me see exactly what is so special about you."
A trace of Battle Intent flashed in Fang Yang's eyes, flames swirling around him, and the surrounding temperature gradually began to rise.
"I will certainly live up to Pavilion Master's expectations."
Yun Ming raised his hand lightly, and an invisible barrier instantly enveloped the entire field, isolating it from all outside interference.
This barrier, personally set up by a Limit Douluo, was sufficient to withstand the aftermath of any intensity of battle.
"Then, let's begin." Yun Ming's voice was as calm as water, yet contained an unquestionable majesty.
At this moment, the number one powerhouse on the Douluo Continent, the Sky Reaching pillar of Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion Master, the level 99 Limit Douluo and quasi-god, Yun Ming.
Was about to engage in an unknown duel with Fang Yang.
spirit power swirled around Yun Ming, and nine spirit rings rose slowly—Black, Black, Red, Red, Red, Red, Orange-Gold, Orange-Gold, Orange-Gold.
These nine spirit rings exuded a suffocating pressure, especially the three orange-gold spirit rings, which emitted a terrifying Aura that transcended the mundane, as if they contained the power of Divinity.
Fang Yang took a deep breath, his Battle Intent burning even brighter. He knew that this would be the strongest opponent he had faced since coming to this World.
"Please, Pavilion Master, enlighten me."
Fang Yang bowed slightly, and then his Aura changed abruptly, a terrifying flame Aura sweeping across the field, contending with Yun Ming's pressure.
A trace of appreciation flashed in Yun Ming's eyes, and he raised his right hand lightly: "Come, let me see where your limit lies."
