Yun Ming!

"Yes, I'm from the Team Rocket!" Old Dou nodded.

Cai Yue'er gave Old Dou another appraising look and asked,

"Did you come to Shrek to look for something?"

"Yes!" Old Dou nodded again.

"Fine. Xiao Yi, take him around Shrek!" With that, Cai Yue'er vanished from where she stood.

She was confident that no one would dare cause trouble in Shrek.

At that moment, only Old Dou and the woman remained.

Old Dou and the woman looked at each other.

The woman spoke. "Hello, I'm a teacher at Shrek, Shen Yi!"

"Shen Yi?" Old Dou's gaze shifted. This time, it was his turn to examine her again.

Light flickered across the Arceus mask.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yi asked in confusion.

"Nothing, nothing!" Old Dou remembered that Shen Yi seemed to be Wu Zhangkong's junior sister.

After that, Shen Yi led Old Dou on a stroll through Shrek Academy.

However, Old Dou could sense several gazes watching him from nearby.

Cai Yue'er from before was among them as well.

Did she go call for people? Old Dou thought to himself.

At that moment, three figures stood hidden in the shadows—two men and one woman.

Zhuo Shi asked Cai Yue'er beside him, "How strong is this Team Rocket member?"

"I don't know. I can't see through him!" Cai Yue'er shook her head.

"Even you can't see through him? Doesn't that make him a Limit Douluo?" Feng Wuyu asked in surprise.

"I'm not joking!" Cai Yue'er said.

"Could this be the one people were talking about before, the one supposedly stronger than even the Pavilion Master?" Zhuo Shi asked quietly.

"Maybe." Feng Wuyu nodded in agreement.

"Should we notify the Pavilion Master?"

"If you want to, go ahead!"

At that moment, Old Dou walked in front while Shen Yi followed behind.

"So, what exactly are you looking for?" Shen Yi asked curiously.

Old Dou paused before answering, "A Slate!"

"A Slate?" Shen Yi was puzzled.

"It's getting closer," Old Dou murmured. He could feel that he was drawing closer and closer to the Slate's location.

"Wait, you can't go that way!" Shen Yi stopped Old Dou.

"Why?" Old Dou raised his head and looked in that direction.

Ahead lay an enormous lake, its surface shrouded in white mist that gave it an air of mystery.

Through the mist, an island could vaguely be seen on the lake.

"Don't you know about Sea God's Lake? That's sacred ground for Shrek. Unauthorized people aren't allowed inside!" Shen Yi said.

"Sea God's Lake..." Old Dou looked over the water but did not notice anything unusual.

However, a great tree on the island gave off a sense of life.

"What's that?" Old Dou raised a hand and pointed at the enormous ancient tree.

"The Golden Tree!" Shen Yi answered directly.

Sea God's Lake and the Golden Tree were no secret across the continent. It could be said that everyone knew of them.

But the Slate seems to be inside, Old Dou murmured inwardly.

His senses told him that the fourth Slate was on Sea God Island.

Just as Old Dou considered how he could enter Sea God Island, a cool male voice rang out.

The voice came from the direction of Sea God's Lake.

Old Dou and Shen Yi turned to look, only to see a man dressed in white with a cold, calm expression.

What was with Shrek and all these expressionless people? Or were they simply cold because they were unfamiliar with him?

The man kept his eyes fixed on Old Dou.

Old Dou was looking at him as well.

Their eyes met.

In an instant, they sensed the palpitating feeling radiating from one another.

The man before him was the strongest person Old Dou had encountered so far. Compared with Cai Yue'er and the Dark Hummingbird he had fought, he was on an entirely different level.

Moreover, Old Dou could sense the faintest trace of divinity from the man.

"A Self-Created Godhood?" Old Dou murmured.

Yun Ming stared at Old Dou with an unusual look in his eyes. Though the masked man before him seemed only ordinarily strong, Yun Ming could sense divinity within him.

Could he have come into contact with the God Realm? Yun Ming wondered.

"Pavilion Master!" Shen Yi greeted him respectfully.

What day was it today? Cai Lao, who normally never appeared, had shown up, and now even Yun Ming, the master of Sea God Pavilion, had appeared.

Even an invader would not receive such a lineup.

"Hello! I'm Yun Ming, master of Sea God Pavilion." Yun Ming stepped before Old Dou and extended his hand.

"Hello! Old Dou of the Team Rocket!"

Old Dou hurriedly shook Yun Ming's hand politely. He now knew the other man's identity.

There should be very few people on this continent who could make him feel this way, and Shrek Academy should have only one.

That was the Sky-Piercing Douluo, Yun Ming, the continent's acknowledged strongest expert.

If the God Realm had not vanished, Yun Ming might already have become a god.

He might well have been the first being to become a god in nearly ten thousand years.

Legend had it that he had already begun creating his own Godhood.

Once they drew closer, they could feel the divine aura from one another even more clearly.

At that moment, another possibility occurred to Yun Ming.

Could someone on their side also be creating a Godhood? Otherwise, why would he possess a divine aura?

He asked, "I heard that someone among you is very strong?"

Old Dou froze.

Had word reached even Yun Ming's ears?

He hurriedly shook his head. "That's not true. We're just a small organization."

"Hahaha! Don't be so modest." Yun Ming laughed.

"I'll be leaving first!" Old Dou said. He knew that, as an outsider, it would be difficult for him to enter Sea God Island.

Which meant it would be difficult to obtain the fourth Slate.

Forcing his way in was definitely impossible. With Old Dou's current strength, he could not pull that off.

If he barged in, Yun Ming might very well skewer him to death with a single spear thrust.

And the reason he was in such a hurry to leave was that he could sense the third Slate approaching him.

The third Slate was heading toward Shrek.

"As expected of Shrek City. A single city actually has two Slates!"

However, Old Dou had also noticed that although only they could use the Slates, their unusual nature would still attract others.

Aside from the Fighting Attribute Fist Plate, every Slate they had discovered had, without exception, fallen under someone else's control.

The other fifteen Slates were likely much the same.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay and have some tea!" Yun Ming stepped forward and followed Old Dou.

At that moment, Old Dou could sense Yun Ming's blazing battle intent. Clearly, Yun Ming wanted to stab him.

Old Dou could not help but shudder. He was now confident that he could crush Super Douluos. Against those above Super Douluos but below Limit Douluos, he could barely manage a one-on-one fight.

That was all thanks to Arceus's power.

Old Dou had now mastered a trace of Arceus's Divine Power.

Do not underestimate that trace—it was Divine Power.

But Yun Ming was no ordinary Limit Douluo. It could be said that he stood at the very peak of Limit Douluos.

And he also possessed Four-Word Battle Armor.

How was Old Dou supposed to fight someone like that? He and Yun Ming were not even in the same weight class.

Unless Arceus's true body were here, then it could have a proper match with Yun Ming.
