After symbolically giving a few Inner Court Student a warning, the reward and recognition session also came to an end, and the Sea God Pavilion Meeting was nearing its conclusion.
Meeting adjourned.
The gentle and kind voice rang out again, naturally, yet with a convincing and unquestionable quality.
All the Sea God Pavilion Elder and the Four Deans stood up, respectfully bowed to Elder Mu En, who was reclining in the main seat, and then dispersed.
Ma Xiaotao also led the students out of the Sea God Pavilion.
Walking down the street, Dai Yueheng remarked, " The Academy really went all out this time."
Originally, the champion of the competition was to receive one million Gold Soul Coin and three Spirit Bone, which naturally belonged to the Shrek Team that contributed their efforts.
They were also the champions in the previous Soul Master Tournament.
However, Dai Yueheng, as the Reserve Team captain, only received a reward of 50,000 Gold Soul Coin.
In addition to Gold Soul Coin, the Starting Member also have the opportunity to be allocated Spirit Bone.
This time, the opportunity for the Spirit Bone was reserved for the Reserve Team.
However, Shrek also contributed an extra two million dollars, which was eventually distributed to each person in total as 300,000 dollars.
This greatly made up for the loss in his Xiao Jin caused by bidding on the Soul Tool.
Although Dai Yueheng was indeed very envious of those three Spirit Bone.
But he also had some self-awareness.
Even if the Reserve Team hadn't intercepted him, this would still be reserved for Shrek's own people, definitely not someone like him who was about to graduate and leave school.
However, I still have to say something.
That damned Evil Soul Master Already Has the Path to Death!
If it weren't for the appearance of this Death God's Emissary, Dai Yueheng felt that he would still have a slight chance if he had performed better in the Soul Master Tournament.
Hmph! From now on, Dai Yueheng will be sworn enemies with Evil Soul Master!
As for the other people in the Inner Court, they didn't feel anything.
Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochеn also obtained Spirit Bone during the Soul Master Tournament, which made them quite satisfied.
Xixi, the honest child, was reflecting on her mistakes.
Xixi: I was indeed careless during the last Monitoring Task.
The five members of the Reserve Team were under some pressure due to the early Inner Court Assessment.
However, one of them seemed a little unsettled.
That's Jiang Nannan.
After being poor for several years, she was so excited when she heard that the Academy was going to reward her with a huge sum of 300,000 Gold Soul Coin that she almost fainted.
It was Tang Ya who helped her up, preventing her from being publicly humiliated.
Even after a while, she still hadn't recovered.
Instead, he was grinning foolishly, thinking that with this sum of money, he could bring his mother to Shrek City and take better care of her.
But what Jiang Nannan didn't know was...
The professional Guigui had already taken action, secretly bringing Jiang Nannan's mother to Shrek City and taking exceptional care of her.
He treated her with the same care and consideration as he would his own mother-in-law.
This is what money power is like.
Xu Sanshi: This is what Yuhao meant by taking the roundabout route!
The entire Sea God Pavilion Council Hall was quiet.
Only Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Mu En on the recliner remained.
Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The Sea God Pavilion Master, who was reclining in the main seat, has not yet shown his face. He is not only Yan Shaozhe's teacher, but also the true controller of the Shrek Academy!
To be honest, the two of them are feeling a bit awkward and embarrassed right now.
It seems a bit inappropriate for this bigwig to award the prize alone...
After all, one should not accept rewards without merit.
Thinking about it carefully, I realized that I hadn't participated in many of the key matches during the entire Soul Master Tournament.
Most of them played minor roles in the later rounds of the Round Robin.
That's really slacking off.
In this way, you can also receive a reward of 300,000 Gold Soul Coin, and even have the chance to obtain a rare Spirit Bone.
They are not greedy people.
This is already an invaluable reward.
The five members of Beibei contributed a lot because they were of suitable age and their Soul Power Level had reached the Soul Ancestor level, which allowed them to take the Inner Court Assessment ahead of schedule.
Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao would have even less to complain about.
We can't exactly make them take the Inner Court Assessment right now, can we?
You'll die.
They weren't as monstrous as Huo Yuhao, who could advance beyond his level as easily as eating and drinking.
If Huo Yuhao knew what they were thinking at that moment, he would only shake his head.
Once the meat is put in your mouth, just eat it and that's it.
And is it possible that I'm the one who carries the team to victory in the crucial games?
Apart from myself and Ma Xiaotao, everyone else's performance was actually about the same.
The reason why Mu En is giving you special tutoring is not only because you are still young, but also because of your talent!
After all, it's a Twin Martial Souls that only appears once every ten years!
Even Xiao Xiao, whose Martial Soul quality is slightly inferior, is still exceptionally talented and can be considered to have the potential to become Super Douluo.
Although Shrek wasn't entirely ethical in some ways, they were quite good at nurturing geniuses.
Especially when it comes to their own geniuses.
Just as Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were lost in thought, Mu En beckoned to the three of them.
"Children, come here."
Huo Yuhao led the two of them around one side of the long table.
What they saw was a face that was frail and aged yet full of a gentle smile, and Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise.
"The old man who guards the gate!?"
Mu En smiled gently, offering no explanation, but instead raised his hand and pointed, a rich golden halo enveloping everyone.
In the blink of an eye, the group found themselves in a spacious hall with several passageways on either side.
Mu En explained, " The Sea God Pavilion was originally a rare Golden Tree, possessing the aura of light and life. The Academy's predecessors carved the Sea God Pavilion without affecting the Golden Tree's life. This is the underground of the Sea God Pavilion, with a total of 108 rooms, encompassing environments suitable for almost all types of Martial Soul."
Every Inner Court Disciple has one opportunity to come here for Deep Meditation. Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, it's only a matter of time before you two enter the Inner Court. In addition, given your extensive experience in this competition and your talent for Twin Martial Souls, I will activate this reward for you ahead of schedule.
Cultivating here will be twice as effective with half the effort, greatly benefiting you. However, it's not just about cultivation; more importantly, it's about finding your own path.
"Our path?"
Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were somewhat puzzled.
Mu En smiled slightly, "Once you finish meditating, you will naturally have the answer in your hearts. Wang Dong'er, go through the first passage on the right. There is a door about ten meters away. Push it open, go in, and sit on the futon inside to cultivate. Xiao Xiao, go through the third passage on the left and enter the second door. After you wake up from your meditation, you can return to the Outer Court."
"Yes, thank you, senior."
The two bowed respectfully.
Mu En smiled and said, "My surname is Mu, you can call me Mu En."
"Yes, Mu En." The two agreed and left.
After the two left, Mu En stood quietly in place, his lips moving slightly as if he were saying something.
Huo Yuhao remained standing still, awaiting Mu En's further instructions.
In fact, Huo Yuhao only met Mu En twice at the Sea God Pavilion.
This is the second time.
The first formal meeting was when Huo Yuhao secured a spot on the Main Team, which was also when he went to the Sea God Pavilion for the second time.
During that meeting, Huo Yuhao had a profound exchange of ideas with Mu En, and he completely understood his own path.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao does not need to rely on the gift of the Golden Ancient Tree to find the path in his heart.
That's what they say.
But Mu En brought himself here with him, which must have been for a deeper reason.
I can't just come here to watch the show, can I?
After remotely instructing Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, they finished.
Looking at Huo Yuhao in front of him, Mu En somewhat helpless.
Even he had to admit it.
Huo Yuhao was indeed the most arduous Soul Master he had ever seen in terms of cultivation.
Upon close contact, with Mu En's level of understanding, he could naturally tell that Huo Yuhao had actually been in a meditative state.
It even added a layer of Simulation Soul Skill on the outside to conceal the fluctuations in Soul Power.
It's not good to be so frivolous without telling your classmates, is it?
I don't know how he did it. Although he did get help from the Golden Tree in the area, it's still quite outrageous.
So, Mu En asked with a smile, " Yuhao, I can see that you have always had an incredibly firm goal in your heart. Can you tell me what it is?"
"My goal is simple: to become a god!"
Huo Yuhao told the truth, and his words were astonishing.
"Become a god? Do you know how difficult it is to become a god?"
Mu En paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise:
"Apart from the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils, there is a definite record of them becoming gods. In the ten thousand years that followed, countless talented individuals were stuck at level ninety-nine and could not make any progress. They were stuck at the last step of becoming gods at level one hundred."
The reason people call level ninety-nine the limit is because this is the ultimate limit for human Soul Master. To go further, one can only hope for the attention of the gods in the upper realms.
Mu En sighed, "Our Shrek does indeed have records of the Sea God God's path to godhood ten thousand years ago, which is the God Trial Inheritance, and it is the only known path."
Only those with unparalleled talent, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, attract the attention of the Divine Realm and are chosen as its successors, have the possibility of inheriting a divine position and ascending to godhood...
At this point, Mu En abruptly stopped, leaving everything unsaid.
Although he had high hopes for Huo Yuhao's talent.
However, becoming a god is really a rather ethereal and unrealistic dream.
It seems to depend a lot on luck.
If it is truly as the Sea God recorded, why did the Shrek Academy members who once possessed Ultimate Martial Soul not receive Deity Inheritance during these ten thousand years?
This is definitely not the original Shrek Seven Devils he was referring to.
Sea God is alright.
The other members of the Shrek Seven Devils were not actually top-tier in terms of talent, so why did they all embark on the path to godhood and succeed?
Even with the help of the legendary Immortal Herb, some of the Seven Devils felt, well, that they were still a little bit lacking...
In short, Mu En wasn't that optimistic.
Of course, he was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao's ambition and strongly supported it.
"If it were you, perhaps you would indeed have a chance."
Finally, Mu En sighed and offered a reminder:
"Go ahead, don't waste this opportunity for Deep Meditation. Take the first passage on the left and go to the end. As for the reward for this Soul Master Tournament, Yan Shaozhe will come to find you after the meditation is over."
"Mm." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Becoming a god, is it that difficult?
If Huo Yuhao wanted to slack off, becoming a god by following the Original Work plot would be very easy.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao had no desire to become a dog in the Divine Realm.
Mu En didn't know was that there was another path to becoming a god.
Faith Godhood.
Just like the original Sea God and Angel God.
However, Tang San deliberately concealed the relevant records.
Just like the lost Poison Chapter of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and the privately kept Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This method, which could potentially threaten the rule of the God King, is only in the hands of a few.
It can be said that on the Douluo Continent, since the destruction of the Spirit Hall and the disappearance of the Sea God Island God Trial, no one in the world has known the path of Faith Godhood.
If Soul Master cultivates to the extreme, they can use the Power of Faith to condense a divine position, forge a divine personality, and become a god on their own.
It's like the Hanging Yun Ming ten thousand years from now.
His extraordinary talent allowed him to become Demigod without the aid of Power of Faith.
Unfortunately, by then the Lord of the Plane had been replaced by Tang Hao, and even the Life Tree had been replaced by Ah Yin.
Under the suppression of the Tang Family Continent, the Demigod Yun Ming could not advance any further.
If he knew the mysteries of the Power of Faith, he might be able to take advantage of the chaos in the Divine Realm to reopen Divine Realm.
It can be said that they were born at the wrong time.
Huo Yuhao, however, was even more shocking.
He didn't just want to become a god; he wanted to create his own Divine Realm.
It doesn't matter, the Gu Master Achievement System will take care of it!
Mu En selected the most suitable place for their cultivation. Wang Dong'er cultivated in a Light Attribute room that was almost liquid, while Xiao Xiao's door had a large bell behind it.
As for Huo Yuhao's room, it was actually similar to Wang Dong'er's.
Unlike the Original Work, Huo Yuhao's current Spiritual Power no longer needs the tempering in the Fear Demon Dragon's room, so Mu En gave him the Soul Power boost he wanted most.
Reaching the end of the road, I pushed open the half-closed wooden door, and an incredibly rich Aura of Light rushed towards me.
Upon entering, one finds a room of only about ten square meters, with countless golden roots hanging down from the ceiling, covering all four walls.
At that moment, Electrolux's voice rang out.
" Yuhao, the top experts in this world are not bad. Your cheap teacher is already close to my cultivation level when I was alive. If it weren't for your strong Spiritual Power, he might even have discovered the existence of me, the Big Worm, and the Little Scorpion."
Regarding the term "cheap teacher".
Huo Yuhao did not offer any rebuttal.
Although his relationship with Mu En wasn't exactly a literal one, it was a master-disciple relationship bound by mutual interests, something everyone tacitly acknowledged.
After all, Huo Yuhao truly experienced the Reign Over the World through Mu En and learned the concepts behind his two signature techniques.
However, Huo Yuhao still tried to save face in his heart, saying, " Elder Yi, you are my true teacher. As for what you said about being close?"
Universe at Fingertips, huh?
"I don't mind this matter. Everyone has their own expertise. After all, I am just a wisp of Divine Consciousness, and I really can't teach you much about this dimension."
At this point, Electrolux changed the subject:
"His cultivation level is only somewhat similar, but I can sense that his current cultivation level was forcibly increased through some kind of fortuitous encounter."
Moreover, for some reason, his very essence suffered severe damage, which not only hindered his further development but also greatly shortened his lifespan. Barring unforeseen circumstances, this will be his end.
Electrolux revealed the secret in a single sentence.
