Time flies, and before we knew it, another three and a half months had passed.

During this time, Shrek remained peaceful as always, with nothing happening.

Zhou Huan, on the other hand, suddenly found herself living a life that resembled retirement.

Zhang Lexuan went into seclusion to condense her Second Soul Core and break through the barrier of Titled Douluo to advance to Super Douluo.

Having not seen his girlfriend for three and a half months, Zhou Huan missed her terribly. Suddenly, he understood why most powerful cultivators, whether male or female, ended up as lonely singles.

The reason is simple: cultivation knows no time. It's acceptable to be separated from others for a year or two during seclusion; at most, one might miss them. But if one were to be separated for ten or a hundred years, only two things would happen: either one's thoughts would become unclear, leading to inner demons, or one would simply become indifferent to it all.

In other words, the cultivation system for Soul Master isn't that extreme in terms of time, but even so, for three and a half months, Zhou Huan felt like he was in a long-distance relationship without the internet or cell phones.

So, Zhou Huan, who was bored during this period, would go to Xuan Ziwen every few days to check on the progress of the shipbuilding, fully demonstrating the "ingenious ideas" of a client regarding the product.

After all, it's Soul Guiding Ship meant for long voyages, so besides being of high quality, its living amenities can't be lacking either.

As a result, poor Xuan Ziwen was driven to the brink of despair, until finally he simply shut himself off from visitors and refused to let Zhou Huan come to the laboratory again.

Actually, Zhou Huan didn't want to either; the main problem was that he was really bored out of his mind because his cultivation had hit a bottleneck.

Well, it wasn't exactly a bottleneck; it was just that the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow was completely depleted. Although there was still the feedback effect from the Five-Colored Godhead Spark, Zhou Huan's cultivation speed had clearly decreased significantly. After all, only with sufficient absorption could there be more feedback.

Three and a half months have passed, Zhou Huan's Soul Power Level is still stuck at level 95, the initial stage, with level 96 seemingly a long way off.

In fact, this is quite normal for 99.99% of Super Douluo. Let alone more than three months, it is very common for them to stay at level 95 for ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime.

Didn't you see that Yan Shaozhe has already wasted decades in the Class of '95?

However, Zhou Huan, who was used to leveling up with cheat codes, found this cultivation speed very uncomfortable.

Zhou Huan knew she was being a bit too impatient, so to distract herself, she went to "torture" Xuan Ziwen, the working man.

Xuan Ziwen warned him that if he dared to step into the laboratory again, the shipbuilding project would be abandoned, and at worst, the Extreme Ice Divine Crystal would be returned.

In the end, Zhou Huan could only remain a silent client.

After three and a half months, the Ocean Soul Guidance Ship is almost finished. Zhou Huan finally put down a major concern and invited Xiao Xiao, Wang Qingya, and Wen Xiaoshuai to the Keman Tower.

Besides celebrating the near completion of the Ocean Soul Guidance Ship, the main purpose was, of course, to invite friends to run the Dragon Valley dungeon together.

Zhou Huan hadn't mentioned this to them before because there was no rush; the Soul Guiding Ship would take some time to build anyway, but it was almost ready now.

The Keman Tower packed, especially the private rooms.

Looking at the table laden with an abundance of ridiculously expensive delicacies, little Xiao Xiao couldn't help but swallow hard. Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at the jade pearl beef balls in front of her, and exclaimed, "Master Zhou, have you struck it rich?"

Zhou Huan replied in a serious tone, "What, can't I treat my dearest friends to a big meal if I don't make a fortune?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingya immediately put down her chopsticks, looked Zhou Huan over with suspicion in her large eyes, and said, "If you put it that way, I really won't dare to eat it. Master Zhou, you didn't poison me, did you?"

Zhou Huan: "... Can't there be more sincerity between people and less unnecessary, unreasonable, and baseless suspicion?"

Then, Wen Xiaoshuai said, "Speak, what do you need to do?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao burst out laughing, "Look, Master Zhou, even your roommate doesn't believe you. Besides, you're a Titled Douluo, uh, no, what realm are you in? Super Douluo, or Limit Douluo? Have you already reached the peak of Soul Master?"

Faced with Xiao Xiao's question, Zhou Huan answered sincerely, "I'm level fifty-seven. I've been working very hard at cultivating."

Xiao Xiao, Wang Qingya, and Wen Xiaoshuai: "..." Did your promise of sincerity just go to waste?

Finally, Wang Qingya spoke first, "Let's get down to business. Is there something you're unable to do and want us to do for you?"

Sighing, Zhou Huan clutched her right chest, looking heartbroken, and said helplessly, "You guys are just overthinking things. Actually, I wanted to invite you all on a trip together."

"Travel?"

Xiao Xiao and the other two immediately brightened up.

Although as Disciple of Shrek Inner Court, we spend our days either cultivating or on our way to cultivate, we are all eighteen or nineteen-year-old young people, and who wouldn't want to go out and have fun?

However, Xiao Xiao quickly frowned and said, "But I have a Supervision Team mission coming up, I can't leave."

Wang Qingya and Wen Xiaoshuai, realizing something, also replied, "We have a mission too."

Then the three of them looked at Zhou Huan with resentment, because he definitely didn't have a mission with the Supervision Team. This kid had already become Sea God Pavilion member and had successfully gone ashore.

The key point is that this guy has never done a single Supervision Team mission.

Zhou Huan, who was being stared at by the three, showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he added insult to injury, saying, "As you all know, I'm Sea God Pavilion member. Consider this 'trip' as me taking you on a mission. As for your other tasks, you can leave them to others for now."

As a result, the three of Xiao Xiao looked even more resentful.

Not only did these guys who successfully made it ashore have the right to decide their mission, but they also suddenly realized that this so-called "tourism" was definitely not a real vacation.

Sure enough, Master Zhou is still the same Master Zhou.

However, the three of them immediately thought that with Master Zhou leading the mission, it should be quite safe, right? After all, this guy had fought against the Beast God Di Tian.

So, Xiao Xiao's mood instantly improved, and she immediately smiled, "Alright then, the task is yours. We'll just stand by and cheer you on."

Zhou Huan immediately rolled her eyes and said, "What are you thinking? This trip is about conquering the sea! It's about becoming pirates... ugh, it's about becoming the Sea King and Sea Queen!"

Wang Qingya asked timidly, "Big brother, are you running a fever?"

Zhou Huan glanced at the Little Bun speechlessly. "You're the one with a fever, I've already prepared the Soul Guiding Ship."

Wen Xiaoshuai, however, asked with bright eyes, "Are we going on an adventure?"

Hearing this, Zhou Huan patted Wen Xiaoshuai on the shoulder with a sense of satisfaction and said, "Old Wen understands me best."

Following that, Zhou Huan gave Wen Xiaoshuai and the other two a brief introduction to the situation of Dragon Valley.

However, Zhou Huan did not mention anything about Gu Yuena and Wang Qiu'er, simply saying that it was information he received from Di Tian.

Even so, Wen Xiaoshuai and the other two were ecstatic, as the existence of Dragon Valley and the Douluo Star Continent was something they had never heard of before.

Then, Wen Xiaoshuai was the first to make the decision. "I'm definitely going to Dragon Valley. I want to become the first Sea King of the Douluo Continent!"

Wang Qingya suddenly got excited too. "Then I want to become the Queen of the Sea!"

Then the little girl Xiao Xiao blurted out, "Shouldn't the Sea King and the Sea Queen be a couple?"

Wen Xiaoshuai & Wang Qingya: "..." Don't talk nonsense! We're completely innocent, just good friends. What are you saying about us being a couple? You're just spreading rumors. Besides, we don't like dating.

As for Zhou Huan, he didn't care about any of that and continued, "Alright, then our sea expedition team is officially formed. Oh, right, besides us, there's also Sister Lexuan and a girl named Ye Guyi. We'll set off immediately after Sister Lexuan finishes her seclusion. Sister Lexuan should be finishing her seclusion soon too."

After finishing their business, Xiao Xiao immediately swept the table in front of her. Despite her small size, she ate the most; otherwise, where would she get the strength to smash someone with a cauldron?
