Upon entering the Worship Hall, Mu Yu found that Qian Daoliu was not there, which left her somewhat puzzled.
Normally, the other worshippers rarely stayed in the main hall, but Qian Daoliu was often here. His absence today made Mu Yu feel a little unaccustomed to it.
"Grandpa isn't here? Perfect. You won't have to be so restrained either."
At that moment, Mu Yu felt the summons of the God of Space.
She pointed to her room. "That's my room. Go wait inside for now. I have something to do."
After saying that, Mu Yu casually sat in Qian Daoliu's main seat and entered her sea of consciousness.
"Congratulations. You've completed the fifth trial. You should have already received your reward."
"Huh? What?"
The God of Space rubbed his nose. "That soul beast..."
Mu Yu fell silent. Forget it. An extra bodyguard meant extra peace of mind.
"What about the sixth trial?"
"Something simple. Raise one of your martial souls to rank ninety."
"Simple."
Mu Yu helplessly waved her hand. "Fine."
With that, Mu Yu withdrew from her sea of consciousness.
When she came out, she saw Qian Daoliu sitting in Golden Crocodile Douluo's original seat.
Noticing that Mu Yu had awakened, Qian Daoliu raised his eyes.
"Xiao Yu, you're awake? How was it? What's the trial?"
Mu Yu stretched lazily. "Reach rank ninety."
Qian Daoliu froze. Mu Yu was only fifteen—wasn't that trial absurdly difficult?
Mu Yu seemed to see through Qian Daoliu's confusion.
"Grandpa, I'm already rank seventy-two."
"???"
Qian Daoliu stared at Mu Yu in shock and asked the question he had long kept buried in his heart.
"Xiao Yu, are you even human?"
Mu Yu looked at Qian Daoliu speechlessly. "Could it be that all these years, Grandpa has been calling a ghost his granddaughter?"
Qian Daoliu: ...
Mu Yu briefly explained her situation.
Qian Daoliu's shock never ceased.
"By the way, Grandpa, where did you go just now?"
Qian Daoliu seemed to have anticipated that Mu Yu would ask this. He smiled proudly.
"When we came back last time, didn't you say that you told Sea God Douluo I was going to use Deep Sea Sinking Silver to make you a weapon? A promise once made cannot be taken back. Naturally, I had to find some for you."
Mu Yu was a little surprised. She had only said it casually, yet Grandpa had really gone and gotten it for her?
"Xiao Yu, this stuff was quite difficult to obtain. I went to many places looking for Deep Sea Sinking Silver, and in the end, I had to go all the way to Sea God Island to find enough to forge a sword. As for the forging, I went to Gengxin City and found that blacksmith, Lou Gao."
Mu Yu seemed to think of something. "Grandpa, we should actually place more importance on the Blacksmith Association."
Qian Daoliu nodded. "During war, there's a great demand for weapons. Blacksmiths are naturally important."
Seeing that Qian Daoliu understood what she meant, Mu Yu said no more. Instead, she curiously looked at the box in his hand.
"Grandpa, hurry up and show me the weapon!"
"Look at how impatient you are."
Qian Daoliu teased Mu Yu before handing her the box.
Mu Yu opened it, and a silver-gray longsword appeared before her.
Mu Yu looked at the sword in delight and gently lifted it with her hand.
The sword Qian Daoliu had made for Mu Yu was not as cumbersome as a heavy sword, yet neither was it overly slender. It was exactly the kind of sword suited to and favored by a girl her age.
Puppet and Nightmare Beast were engraved on the hilt.
A tiny character for "Yu" was also engraved beneath the hilt.
"Do you like it?"
Qian Daoliu looked at Mu Yu gently, a little proud as he waited for her praise.
Mu Yu nodded. "I love it! Grandpa is the best!"
"As long as you like it."
After chatting with Qian Daoliu a little longer, Mu Yu steered the topic toward Di Tian.
"Grandpa, I brought a few friends to introduce to you this time."
"Oh?"
Mu Yu released the Spirit Souls and casually dragged Di Tian over as well.
"Grandpa, this is Xiao Mo, this is the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, this is his wife, the Demon Empress, this is Di Tian, and that one, Xi Ruo—you know him, so he isn't important."
Xi Ruo: So? I'm not important?
Di Tian: Reluctant-ing.
Qian Daoliu froze for a moment. He might not have recognized the others, but the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King...
"Xiao Yu... this?"
"Grandpa, they're my Spirit Souls."
"Spirit Souls?"
"That's right."
As she spoke, she explained Spirit Souls to Qian Daoliu.
"What a miracle!"
After hearing Mu Yu's explanation, Qian Daoliu was utterly astonished. Only then did Di Tian understand why those soul beasts had been willing to listen to Mu Yu.
Qian Daoliu could not help but sigh. Mu Yu was practically invincible.
Di Tian, the king of soul beasts—though he was not her Spirit Soul, he still obeyed her commands.
Xi Ruo and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, rulers of the sea.
Qian Daoliu had originally been worried that there would always come a time when he was not around. What if Mu Yu encountered danger outside the Spirit Hall Empire?
Now... he was a little more worried about everyone's safety except Mu Yu's...
It had to be said that the Spirit Souls Mu Yu spoke of were indeed novel and important. If soul beasts could fight alongside soul masters, they would undoubtedly be immensely powerful.
He was so excited he could barely contain himself. He quickly summoned all the worshippers, even calling Bibi Dong over.
Bibi Dong herself was somewhat startled. She had never had much interaction with the Worship Hall, though their relationship had eased somewhat recently because of Mu Yu...
After hearing about Mu Yu's Spirit Souls, both the worshippers and Bibi Dong found it hard to believe.
But as they looked at the several powerful beings surrounding Mu Yu, they had no choice but to believe it.
If Spirit Souls could truly be realized on soul masters, it would be utterly heaven-defying.
After staying in Spirit Hall for several days, Mu Yu prepared to leave.
By her reckoning, Ning Rongrong had probably already gone to Shrek Academy by now...
First, she wanted to see what Ning Rongrong had achieved over the years. Second, she wanted to see how everyone at Shrek was doing.
After bidding farewell to Qian Daoliu and the others, she headed for Barack.
Barack belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire. With the Heaven Dou Empire Crown Prince's token in her possession, as well as the title of Gu Rong's disciple, she had an unimpeded journey and took up residence in the royal palace beside the City Lord's Mansion.
She rested her legs on the table and sat on the sofa with her arms crossed.
"May I ask what brings Miss Mu here?"
The Suo Tuo City Lord watched Mu Yu from the side.
The King of Barack had specifically instructed him to take good care of this ancestor. If anything happened to her, Gu Rong and Chen Xin would probably turn all of Suo Tuo City upside down.
"You don't need to be nervous. I won't make things difficult for you. I'm only staying here for a few days to meet some acquaintances."
The Suo Tuo City Lord nodded. "Then I'll take my leave first. If Miss Mu needs anything, just come find me."
"Mm."
On Ning Rongrong's side, she had already arrived at Shrek Academy.
Hearing the teacher at the entrance say that they only accepted monsters, her curiosity was clearly piqued.
She stood behind a group of children her age. Among them, a graceful-looking girl dressed in black got along quite well with her.
When the girl learned that Ning Rongrong had reached level thirty-five at the age of twelve, she was immensely shocked.
