Golden Hextech Draw!

"Heaven Dou City was not peaceful."

Tang Ya murmured.

"Wasn't Heaven Dou City the same as before?"

"Besides, could anyone really assassinate a princess in the streets of the Heaven Dou Empire's capital?"

Tang Ya, who spent all day oblivious to matters beyond her own affairs, said with a face full of confusion.

When Bei Bei saw the two of them enter, he immediately stood up and greeted them.

"Tang Ya, Little Su Mu, let me introduce you. This is Elder Zhuang, an elder of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion.

"I specifically invited him this time to take a look at Nannan's mother."

As Bei Bei spoke, Su Mu's gaze fell on the kindly, approachable old man.

Elder Zhuang of the Sea God Pavilion, a healing-type Titled Douluo.

In the current Douluo Continent, the only person comparable to him was the Medical Fairy Douluo Wang Xian'er of the Star Luo Empire.

Su Mu stared at Elder Zhuang in slight astonishment.

Did Bei Bei really have that much influence?

One letter had brought over one of the only two healing-type Titled Douluo on the entire Douluo Continent.

As his gaze fell upon Elder Zhuang, Elder Zhuang's eyes also settled on Su Mu.

With a wave of his hand, a gentle stream of life energy entered Su Mu's body.

His Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was stirred, surging wildly through the ground.

Countless Blue Silver Grass shoots emerged from the soil.

"Not bad, not bad."

"Just as Bei Bei wrote in his letter, this child's Life Attribute is incredibly strong. He has great potential as a healing-type Soul Master, practically brimming with vitality."

"Child, would you be willing to take me as your master?"

"I will personally teach you how to become an outstanding healing-type Soul Master."

Elder Zhuang had risen to his feet, looking at Su Mu with kindly eyes.

He looked six years old, yet the life energy within his body was extraordinarily abundant.

If the Life Attribute had an ultimate form as well, then he might already be nearing the threshold of the Ultimate Life Attribute.

Elder Zhuang muttered inwardly.

After all, the Douluo Continent's understanding of Ultimate Attributes was limited to elemental types. No one had ever considered power, defense, life, or speed. They only knew that elemental attributes could possess the title of ultimate.

"Accept him! Hurry and accept him, Little Su Mu! He's a Titled Douluo!"

Tang Ya egged him on from the side.

Bei Bei nodded at Su Mu as well.

But Su Mu had no intention of taking a master.

What would taking a master mean?

It meant being tied to Shrek's warship.

It meant his future would be filled with even more tedious cultivation.

Then he would have no way to run his own little business or earn Gold Soul Coins.

Then he would have no way to draw Hextech, and without drawing Hextech, he would have no way to grow stronger.

Besides, he had no need for the status and backing that came with becoming a Titled Douluo's disciple.

He already had one, and it was even centered around him.

What status could he possibly fail to obtain?

What he wanted was to sell more fried chicken openly and legitimately!

"Uh... thank you for your favor, Elder Zhuang, but I don't currently have any plans to take a master. How about we discuss it another day?"

As Su Mu spoke, Elder Zhuang's expression changed.

These days, the difficulty of becoming a Titled Douluo's disciple was obvious, especially when the other party personally offered to take someone in.

"So be it. I only came this time to see the highly talented healing-type Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power that Bei Bei mentioned, and to do Bei Bei a small favor along the way."

"Since everything has now been resolved, there is no need for me to remain here."

"Bei Bei, there are less than half a month left before Shrek Academy begins. I suggest you head to Shrek Academy early and familiarize yourselves with the place."

"I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

Elder Zhuang rose into the air and vanished.

Tang Ya said in frustration, "Su Mu, what is going through that head of yours?"

"He's a Titled Douluo! He introduced himself and said he wanted to take you as his disciple. Why didn't you agree?"

"If Elder Zhuang had offered to take me as his disciple just now, I'd have been so happy I wouldn't sleep for three days."

As Tang Ya spoke, Bei Bei's eyes lit up.

Should he find Tang Ya a teacher once they reached Shrek Academy?

But there did not seem to be many plant-type Soul Masters with poison attributes in the academy, let alone a Titled Douluo like that.

Could poison-attribute Soul Masters really be that weak?

Su Mu merely smiled, sat on the table, and asked Bei Bei, "Is this the healing-type Soul Master you invited?"

"How is Nannan's mother's illness? Has it been cured?"

Su Mu asked Bei Bei.

Bei Bei immediately perked up.

"With a Titled Douluo taking action, what illness can't be cured?"

"Elder Zhuang had already resolved it as soon as he arrived. Nannan is resting with her mother now."

"Oh, right. Elder Zhuang said the effect of your soul skill is very powerful. If you reach the Titled Douluo level someday, your healing ability might even surpass his Life Ancient Tree."

"That's why he wanted to take you as his disciple and specifically waited for you to arrive."

"Ah, what a pity. A Titled Douluo master, gone just like that."

Bei Bei said with feigned regret.

Yet he did not see even a trace of regret on Su Mu's face. Instead, Su Mu seemed as though he had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, right. Elder Zhuang said this Martial Soul poison seemed to have been deliberately injected by someone. Its cold attribute is extremely potent."

"It would be too dangerous to leave Nannan's mother in Heaven Dou City. When we head to Shrek Academy, we plan to bring her along and settle her in Shrek City."

"Do you have any interest in setting up a stall in Shrek City?"

"I, Bei Bei, can sponsor you~"

As Bei Bei spoke, he bounced the pouch filled with Gold Soul Coins.

Su Mu's eyes lit up as well.

He was not short on Gold Soul Coins now, at least not for what he needed to spend.

If he set up a stall in Shrek City, business might be even better.

But he had only just established his stall in Heaven Dou City. Before he had earned much money, he would have to move again.

Going back and forth like this would only waste all his time.

"Well, let's talk about it after I open a branch store."

Su Mu thought that before opening a shop in Shrek City, he should first get one running in Heaven Dou City.

Earn more Gold Soul Coins and draw a few more Hextechs.

Seeing Su Mu refuse, Bei Bei put away the pouch of Gold Soul Coins.

After all, his few hundred Gold Soul Coins might be enough to open a shop in Heaven Dou City, but in Shrek City, they could only rent a small room.

"And if we're bringing Nannan's mother to Heaven Dou City too, it'll cost quite a bit. I plan to start by running a fried chicken stall. Earning more money will let me take better care of her."

As Su Mu spoke, Jiang Nannan's figure was reflected in the window by the still-lit lamps within the room.

She held a cloth in her hand, constantly wiping away the sweat beading on her mother's forehead.

I've already transmigrated, so there's no need to fight and kill. I should live freely and easily, doing whatever feels most comfortable.

If no one provokes me, I'll peacefully sell fried chicken, make money, grow stronger on my own, and eventually become a god.

But if anyone provokes me, I'll destroy them.

Su Mu thought this as the entire night passed, followed by another ordinary day of setting up his stall.

Perhaps he had been too busy these past few days, as he had barely cultivated at all.

However, the two buffs, "Increase Cultivation Speed" and "Autonomously Cultivate Soul Power," were always active on his body. Though they were not at full effect, they were still somewhat useful.

This raised his Soul Power Level by another level. This time, it also triggered his Talent Soul Power, bringing him to level 17. He needed only three more levels before absorbing his second Soul Ring.

"Then it's settled. See you in Shrek City, little brother."

Bei Bei sat at the back of the carriage, looking at Su Mu as he remained where he was, then tossed him the key in his hand.

"You can stay in this little courtyard for now. It's empty anyway."

His voice grew more distant. Su Mu looked around the empty courtyard.

Over the past few days, he had earned exactly 1,630 Gold Soul Coins—just enough for one Golden Hextech draw, choosing three out of five...
