Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 335 The Sea God Pavilion's Emphasis on Vajra

"How did he do that?" Old Song was astonished and couldn't understand the situation.
Elder Xuan, Xian Lin'er, and the others couldn't understand it either; this situation was too abnormal.
"Elder Xuan, do you think Shi Yu might have gone astray?" Elder Song asked in a low voice, sounding somewhat doubtful.
The others also narrowed their eyes slightly, sensing that it wasn't impossible.
In their minds, only evil spirit masters could improve their cultivation so quickly.
Elder Xuan had also considered this possibility, but thinking of Elder Mu's attitude towards Shi Yu, he shook his head and said, "If Shi Yu has truly gone astray, Elder Mu, with his cultivation level, would surely have noticed."

Since he hasn't shown any unusual behavior, there's no need for us to overthink it.

"We'll be more careful in the future, but we shouldn't let this affect his impression of the college."

Both Elder Song and Yan Shaozhe nodded, very curious about how Shi Yu had managed to do it.
"Lord Kongo is not purely human, is he?" Moon asked in a calm tone.
Shi Yu remained calm and was not surprised. He knew Elder Mu's strength; it was unlikely that he could remain completely unaware of Vajra's power.
Bringing King Kong here this time wasn't meant to conceal his identity as a soul beast, nor was there any need for it.
On the surface, there was no animosity between them, and he didn't believe that Shrek Academy would attack a super soul beast comparable to the limit level without reason.
King Kong and Shi Yu had discussed this issue beforehand, so they weren't surprised that Mu En had seen through their identities, nor did they try to hide it. They readily admitted, "Mighty King Kong Ape."

Moon looked at King Kong with slight surprise and chuckled, "I thought you would deny it."

King Kong shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary. I am a soul beast, but I have no conflict or hatred with you. Are you going to attack me just because I am a soul beast?"

Of course, more importantly, it's his confidence in his own abilities; if he were alone, he probably wouldn't have come here.

But he wasn't. There was also the Behemoth Beast Xiao Jin, who was even stronger than him. With two powerhouses at the pinnacle level, there was really nothing to worry about here.

Although he hadn't lived much in human society, he still had the necessary wariness towards humans.

Mu En shook his head and said, "Of course not. We have no grudges against each other, and you even have a good relationship with my disciple, so it's even less likely that I would lay a hand on you."

"On the contrary, we would very much like to welcome you. As long as you abide by some of our human rules and do not harm others indiscriminately, Shrek Academy will always treat you as a distinguished guest."

While being wary of the other party, one wouldn't necessarily turn around and rudely drive them away.
Moreover, if we could win over this powerful figure through Shi Yu's connection, that would be the best possible outcome.

If they truly befriend spirit beasts, Shrek Academy will have an extra guardian for a long time to come. Spirit beasts living for thousands or even tens of thousands of years is not uncommon.

“I’m just here with Shi Yu for a while. I’ll probably leave with him after he graduates,” Jin Gang said.
Mu En gleaned a lot of implied meaning from those words and chuckled, saying, "Shi Yu entered the inner courtyard ahead of schedule and will have at least three years of study. That's not a long time, but it's not short either."

"He's so outstanding; as his teacher, I'd like him to stay and develop his career at the academy."

"They even plan to pass the position of Sea God Pavilion Master to him in the future."

“With his talent for cultivation, he should be able to take over my position in at most ten years,” Mu En said jokingly.

But Shi Yu could hear the seriousness in his words.
This is a genuine intention to pass on the position of Sea God Pavilion Master to myself; it's not a joke.
Now it's more about testing my own attitude.
King Kong didn't speak, but only glanced at Shi Yu.
Shi Yu had already considered this question, and chuckled, "Teacher, you overestimate me. I don't think I have much management ability; I'm more suited to being a freelance cultivator."

"If I were really put in charge of Shrek Academy, I'm afraid I'd make a complete mess of it, and then I'd be letting you down, teacher."

The position of the Sea God Pavilion Master at Shrek Academy holds a special place on the continent; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's comparable to the emperors of several countries.
However, he genuinely wasn't interested; sometimes being alone was quite nice.
Rather than spending time on things like management school, he prefers to travel and see the world.
Once I've achieved a certain level of cultivation, I want to travel the universe and visit more planets.
While others travel the world, he wants to take a trip around the galaxy. Isn't that much more comfortable and enjoyable than being the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy?
A hint of disappointment flashed in Mu En's eyes, but he was still somewhat unwilling to give up. He said in a calm tone, "Being the head of the Sea God Pavilion doesn't necessarily require management skills. You can easily delegate that to your subordinates."

"Aren't you close with Le Xuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Jiang Nannan?"

"They'll most likely stay on at the university to develop their careers, and you can have them assist you in managing the college later on; you won't need to worry about it."

"Let's forget it. I really have no interest in this position. I prefer a free and easy life. I can come back to the academy more often in the future," Shi Yu still refused.
Although he has a good relationship with Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan, that won't be a factor in how he decides how to live his life.
Everyone should follow their own heart and choose their own path in life, rather than being influenced by external factors.
Leaving aside his lack of choice, if he did have one, he would naturally try his best to follow his heart.
Mu En basically understood Shi Yu's attitude, and although he was disappointed, he acted normally on the surface.
Shi Yu knew that her teacher might be disappointed with her choice, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Mu En changed the subject, asking how Shi Yu's cultivation level had suddenly increased to over level fifty.
He knew very well Shi Yu's soul power level before he left; it had increased by more than ten levels upon his return, which was simply outrageous.
Even evil spirit masters don't level up this fast.
"It was all just luck..." Shi Yu replied with a prepared response.
He accidentally stumbled upon a ruin while taking a break from Shrek Academy.
Using his spatial abilities, he broke through the barrier of the ruins and inadvertently rescued King Kong.
To thank him, King Kong gifted him a rare and precious plant that was 100,000 years old.
After consuming it, his cultivation level increased by eight or nine levels at once. He was also very lucky to find a suitable space attribute soul beast to which he was able to attach his fifth soul ring.
He had spoken with King Kong Chuan beforehand, and what he said sounded very real, as if he had experienced it himself.
Even Moon didn't notice anything amiss.
He was very curious about the state of that ruin, which had managed to trap King Kong, a super soul beast comparable to a powerhouse at the pinnacle of strength.
“That barrier might have been left behind by some deity. It’s difficult to break from inside, but it’s easier to break from the outside,” said Vajra.
"Deities?" Upon hearing the word "deities," a glint of light flashed in Moon's eyes, and he couldn't help but inquire about the location of the ruins.
King Kong shook his head, clearly not intending to reveal the location.
Moon was also a little embarrassed, apologizing as he realized he had been too forward.
Since it might involve deities, and I want to go and investigate, how could the other party not want to?
This is obviously not something they'll easily reveal; there might be something good inside.
Although he was somewhat concerned, he had no choice but to skip the topic.
