Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Meeting Qian Gu Dongfeng

A day later, Shiyu arrived at Spirit Pagoda Headquarters under Vice Tower Master Li's escort.

East Sea Spirit Pagoda was already enormous, but Spirit Pagoda Headquarters near Shrek City was even larger, several dozen times the size of East Sea Spirit Pagoda.

Spirit Pagoda Headquarters could practically be regarded as a city built upward.

At first sight, Shiyu was deeply shocked. This was the largest single structure he had ever seen.

It was also the most technologically advanced building he had ever seen. Numerous Soul Tools had been installed around Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, with most of the cannon barrels seemingly aimed in Shrek City's direction.

Many people came and went from Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, and they were mostly from Shrek City.

It was the continent's second-largest city, surpassed only by the Federal Capital. The continent's number one academy was located within Shrek City.

Shiyu looked toward Shrek City several times, but he could only make out its rough outline.

Spirit Pagoda Headquarters had once been located within Shrek City, but as relations between the Spirit Pagoda, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect had deteriorated over the years, Spirit Pagoda Headquarters had undergone a major relocation.

The current Spirit Pagoda Headquarters was no longer in Shrek City and stood quite a distance away from it.

This was also why, in the original story, Shrek City had been razed to the ground by a God-slaying weapon while the Spirit Pagoda remained completely unscathed.

If the Spirit Pagoda had been inside Shrek City, Qian Gu Dongfeng would never have dared let the Evil Soul Masters act so recklessly.

Who knew whether that God-slaying weapon might blow up Spirit Pagoda Headquarters along with it?

Following Vice Tower Master Li into Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Shiyu temporarily stopped thinking about Shrek City.

It was not suitable for him to wander around Shrek City at the moment anyway.

"Tower Master, I have brought Shiyu to see you." More than ten minutes later, Vice Tower Master Li brought Shiyu to Qian Gu Dongfeng's office and spoke to him with great respect.

His heart was also surging with excitement. Opportunities to meet the Spirit Pagoda's chief Tower Master were rare, especially in a private audience like this.

"Greetings, Tower Master," Shiyu said, bowing at the appropriate moment.

He continuously sized up Qian Gu Dongfeng. He looked no different from how Shiyu had seen him in videos before.

But seeing him in person was far more pressuring. Though the man was already advanced in years, he was full of vigor, his face showing no trace of age or weariness.

On the contrary, he was bursting with vitality. There was no doubt that his spirit and vitality far surpassed Shiyu's own.

This counted as the second Limit Expert Shiyu had met. The first had been Mu En, and the two gave him completely different impressions.

Mu En had seemed somewhat lifeless because he had concealed all of his aura, making it impossible to tell that he was a Soul Master.

Qian Gu Dongfeng was different. The man was exceptionally healthy, brimming with vitality, even more vigorous than someone in their prime. Since he had not deliberately concealed his aura completely, Shiyu felt as though he were facing some colossal creature.

He only felt insignificant. If Qian Gu Dongfeng wished it, no matter how Shiyu teleported, he would still be killed in an instant. His strength was impossible to gauge.

Qian Gu Dongfeng put down the document in his hand and looked at Shiyu, sizing him up from head to toe.

"You are my prospective disciple. Calling me Tower Master is rather distant," Qian Gu Dongfeng said in a fairly gentle tone.

"This disciple recognizes his mistake. Greetings, Master," Shiyu promptly corrected himself.

It was not that he had forgotten to address him that way. It was simply their first time meeting in person, and he did not quite dare. The other party could tell him to be more casual, but he could not truly be too casual.

Especially at the start, being overly casual could easily leave a bad impression.

Qian Gu Dongfeng smiled. "I would like to see your Martial Soul and abilities."

"Then this disciple will make a fool of himself." Shiyu released his Martial Soul, though no Soul Rings appeared.

When he saw the Spatial Vortex behind Shiyu, a hint of surprise flashed through Qian Gu Dongfeng's eyes.

Hearing others describe it and seeing it himself, while sensing it in detail, were entirely different matters.

He could say with certainty that this was an Ultimate Space Martial Soul, the first to appear in history.

Ultimate Martial Souls were synonymous with powerful Martial Souls, and an Ultimate Space Martial Soul was even more powerful among the powerful.

Without question, Ultimate Space was far more formidable than attributes like Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice.

Shiyu began demonstrating his abilities, continuously teleporting around the office, which was nearly three hundred square meters in size.

The longer Qian Gu Dongfeng watched, the more astonished he became. Even he could only barely detect the spatial fluctuations when Shiyu teleported.

This teleportation ability was somewhat astounding. Once Shiyu's strength improved further, he might be able to silently teleport close even under a Limit Expert's very eyes.

This was an extremely threatening ability. In battles between the strong, the most feared thing was an unexpected attack.

If he could silently approach a Limit Expert, he even dared claim that he could kill Yun Ming.

Shiyu stopped and waited for Qian Gu Dongfeng's assessment, feeling as though he were performing for an audience.

"Who told him to be a Limit Expert?" Shiyu consoled himself. Considering the other man's status, position, and strength, as well as the enormous benefits he could bring him, performing was no big deal.

"Your Martial Soul is very powerful, and your abilities are even more outstanding. Taking you as my disciple was a very wise decision," Qian Gu Dongfeng praised.

"It is also my honor to take you as my master," Shiyu said humbly, flattering him.

Qian Gu Dongfeng smiled, walked over to Shiyu, and patted him on the shoulder. He was very satisfied with this disciple.

He glanced at Vice Tower Master Li, who immediately understood. He respectfully took his leave and exited the office.

Shiyu grew somewhat nervous. Being alone with Qian Gu Dongfeng made him uneasy.

The vast disparity in their strength left him feeling very insecure in Qian Gu Dongfeng's presence.

Especially since Qian Gu Dongfeng was someone who could disregard the lives of millions to achieve his goals, it was truly hard to feel safe around a person like that.

"Don't be nervous. I just wanted to learn about your family situation in private."

"I've already accepted you as a probationary Disciple, so it's only natural that I should know more about you," Qian Gu Dongfeng said with a smile.

Shiyu began to briefly tell Qian Gu Dongfeng about the background he had prepared for himself.

It was simply a more detailed version of the information he had filled out before, making his family background sound more believable.

He had pondered it for a long time, and the result after telling it was quite good. At the very least, Qian Gu Dongfeng seemed to believe him.

"When will you find an opportunity to let me meet your parents?" Qian Gu Dongfeng asked with a smile.

"I was planning to go back and see them in a few days. I'll ask for their opinion then," Shiyu said.

"I can go with you, so they won't have to make the trip here. It would save them the trouble," Qian Gu Dongfeng said.

"That might not be very convenient. My parents have lived in seclusion for many years. If I brought someone over without informing them in advance, even if I brought you, Teacher, I might still get chewed out," Shiyu said awkwardly.

Qian Gu Dongfeng had corrected his form of address earlier, telling him to call him Teacher rather than Master.

On the Douluo Continent, Teacher was the more common form of address.

"In that case, I won't go this time. But do your best to bring them to the Spirit Pagoda for a visit. As your Teacher, it's still necessary for me to host them for a meal," Qian Gu Dongfeng said, not forcing Shiyu.

He also knew that some reclusive powerhouses truly disliked unexpected visits.

He wanted to recruit Shiyu's parents into the Spirit Pagoda, so naturally, he did not want to sour their impression of each other over such a trivial matter.

"Of course, of course," Shiyu agreed smoothly.

This was today's second chapter. New Book Sets Sail! I hope everyone can add it to their favorites and cast some Recommendation Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Thank you so much.

An extra chapter will be added for every ten Monthly Tickets, fifty Recommendation Tickets, or one hundred and fifty favorites. I hope everyone can give me a little motivation.

Yesterday, there were eleven Monthly Tickets, over seventy Recommendation Tickets, and more than eighty favorites, so that means two extra chapters. There will be another chapter tonight.
