Apprenticeship Gift! The Fight for Talent Begins!

Song Yunzhi was different.

She herself was a Big Tree of the super sequence.

A Level 97 Super Douluo, the third most important figure at Shrek Academy and the second most important figure in Sea God's Pavilion.

Her seniority was immense, her influence profound, and her strength formidable.

Across the entire continent, she stood just one step below the ceiling.

The ceiling of humanity in the lower realm was a Level 99 peak Limit Douluo.

Half a step below the ceiling was currently a Level 98 Super Douluo.

Therefore, a Level 97 Super Douluo was only one step away from the ceiling.

That explanation was quite reasonable.

In this era, Douluo Star had yet to complete the Millennium Plan and merge with the Abyssal Civilization to ascend to a higher dimension.

Humans of Douluo Star could not freely become gods. Without a God Position, they could not break through Level 100.

There were only two paths to becoming a god.

The first was inheriting an existing God Position.

Either one found it oneself, or the god found you.

The second was creating a God Position from scratch.

So far, however, after Sea God Poseidon and Angel God, no third person had successfully created a God Position.

It required an incomparably vast, ocean-like amount of faith power.

One had condensed the faith of the entire ocean into a God Position and become a god.

The other had gathered the faith of the people by eradicating evil and bringing peace to the world, condensing it into a God Position and becoming a god.

Neither path was easy.

The second path, relying on faith, was even harder than ascending to heaven.

The God Position most suitable for Huang Fei was naturally that of the Goddess of Life.

But it was impossible for her to pass it down to him alone.

Because she was Destruction's wife.

Unless the two of them passed down their God Positions to him together.

But Huang Fei did not possess the attribute of Destruction.

Unless the end of ultimate life could give rise to ultimate destruction.

That was a long road.

Of course, Huang Fei could also rely on the faith of all the plants across Douluo Star to condense a Plant God Position and become a god.

A God Position condensed through such an enormous amount of faith would begin at the Level One God grade, perhaps even reaching the Half-Step God King Grade.

After all, there were far more plants on Douluo Star than humans.

Undersea plants counted as well.

Anything planted counted. Even if it was not planted, as long as it was related to wood, it all counted.

In short, before he had grown strong, it was good to enjoy the shade beneath a Big Tree.

With a cheat disciple like him in the future, Song Yunzhi might not be unable to become a god.

When he established a force in the future, he could also recruit her to help out.

Heh heh heh...

Why turn down free labor?

"Good, good, good!!!"

"Xiao Fei, this is your Meeting Gift from your teacher."

"This is a Storage Soul Tool with One Hundred Cubic Meters of space."

"Inside are some materials concerning Soul Masters and Soul Tools, a universal Gold Card containing one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, a bottle of Mysterious Water Pills, additional cultivation resources, and a Token."

"Take them back and use them well in your cultivation."

"Strive to break through to Level 20 as soon as possible."

"If there is anything you do not understand, you may take this Token or ring to Sea God's Pavilion to find me at any time."

Song Yunzhi said happily with a smile.

The next second, a ring floated from her hand and landed before Huang Fei.

"Thank you, Teacher. This disciple will certainly not disappoint you!"

Huang Fei accepted the ring, put it on, and spoke solemnly.

"Right, so that you can grow up normally, the matter of my taking you as a disciple will not be announced. You are still young, so simply continue studying and advancing normally in the Outer Academy. Consider it another form of training."

"Unless absolutely necessary, do not tell anyone that you are my disciple. Otherwise, if others find out, your training will no longer be perfect."

Song Yunzhi suddenly recalled something and reminded him.

"This disciple understands."

Huang Fei nodded.

He truly did not want to tell anyone either.

Song Yunzhi's radiance was simply too great.

Once others learned of it, they might attribute his strength to Song Yunzhi's abundant resources and cultivation rather than his own hard work.

Then the effect of showing off in the academy would be greatly diminished, perhaps even rendered meaningless.

He had originally intended to bring this up himself, but since Song Yunzhi had taken the initiative, it saved him the trouble.

"Right, the academy is divided into the Soul Tool Department and the Martial Soul Department. I am the foremost representative of the Soul Tool Department."

"Which one do you wish to develop in later?"

Song Yunzhi suddenly asked.

She could see that Huang Fei's talent was more inclined toward the Martial Soul Department.

Therefore, she did not force Huang Fei to enter her Soul Tool Department.

With such exceptional talent, if he truly delayed his precious cultivation progress to research Soul Tools, the loss would outweigh the gain.

At the very least, he should wait until his cultivation stagnated in the future and became difficult to improve before studying them.

"Teacher, to speak from the heart, this disciple is more inclined toward the Martial Soul Department. A Martial Soul is a Soul Master's true power. Soul Tools are certainly important, but once a Soul Master loses the support of Soul Tools, if their own strength is weak, they will be doomed to die."

"Of course, this disciple is also very interested in Soul Tools. This disciple plans to first properly raise my Soul Power and develop my Blue Silver Grass. When the time is right in the future, I will then study Soul Tools."

Huang Fei voiced his true thoughts.

"Good, this Old Woman understands."

"Your view is not wrong. Martial Souls truly are a Soul Master's greatest foundation."

"Soul Tools are merely supplementary."

"I will not force you to enter the Soul Tool Department. This Old Woman respects your choice."

"Good child, that is enough. You may leave now. Go and properly experience academy life."

Song Yunzhi smiled kindly and lightly waved her hand.

"Yes, this disciple takes his leave." Huang Fei gave a slight bow, then turned and left.

At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief.

The psychological pressure of being with such a powerful figure was simply too great.

He still preferred being outside, where he could feel more at ease.

It felt like being alone in a room with one's elders. It was incredibly uncomfortable; everything had to be done carefully and quietly, as though he were being restrained.

Only after leaving, or after the other person had gone, could he truly relax, let himself go, and be free of restraint.

After Huang Fei left, Song Yunzhi, having achieved her goal of taking a disciple, flew straight into the sky from the window and returned to Sea God's Pavilion.

"I never expected that after so many years, this Old Woman would receive such a satisfactory disciple."

"Fortunately, I had nothing to do today and came out for a stroll. Otherwise, I would have missed him and let someone else snatch him away."

"Now, even if others learn of Xiao Fei's talent, there is no need to worry about him being taken."

Song Yunzhi was in an excellent mood.

In truth, a child like Huang Fei was more suited to having Wang Xian'er of the Star Luo Empire as his teacher.

But he was a child of Shrek Academy, so she could not possibly hand him over to another force.

After thinking it over, she ultimately decided to inform Sea God's Pavilion.

Using a special Communication Soul Tool, she sent this message to the other Elders, including Pavilion Master Mu En.

Communication Soul Tools were still quite rudimentary at present, and their communication range was very short.

The one in her hand only functioned within Shrek Academy.

Outside the academy, even within the city, it would no longer work properly, and its capabilities would be greatly reduced.

Shrek Academy · Sea God's Pavilion Elder · Song Yunzhi: I have taken this year's Freshman, Huang Fei, as my Personal Disciple. I hope everyone will take good care of him in private.
