A deal with Mu En, the space-time vortex in the ancient ruins
On the other hand, what Jiang Yu was thinking was actually quite simple.
His words laid bare all the major problems facing Shrek Academy, but letting the other party know about the problems is one thing, solving them is quite another.
The internal environment of the Shrek Academy was far worse than imagined. The ideas of countless strong individuals and Senior Elder who had received twelve years of education at the Shrek Academy were as hard and stinking as rocks in a cesspool.
Even Mu En could not completely ignore their opinions when carrying out reforms.
As written in the original work, Mu En also used the shockwaves generated by his deathbed to complete the reform of the Shrek Academy's teaching direction.
At other times, Mu En dared to speak, the other Senior Elder would dare to object.
However, seeing that Mu En hadn't reacted after so long, Jiang Yu lightly and then said:
"Mu En, are you perhaps thinking about how to kill me quietly?"
Upon hearing this, Mu En snapped back to reality. He glanced at Jiang Yu with amusement, then said speechlessly:
"With my cultivation level, if I really wanted to kill you, do you think you would have any chance of surviving?"
Why isn't it there?
Jiang Yu head on the surface, but in his heart he gave a completely opposite answer.
Although the unscrupulous teacher may have been somewhat laissez-faire in his upbringing, he also provided the teacher with a means to save his life.
He only needs to use the Divine Nature Seed to activate the Time-Space Divine Crystal, Time-Space Divine Crystal can take him away instantly.
Most importantly, this move ignores any spatial blockade, making it an unbeatable escape technique.
After another moment of silence, Mu En dismissed the idea that had just begun to rise in his mind.
He pondered for a moment, then said:
"Jiang Yu, your talent and vision are truly astounding. If you're willing to grant me one request, not only will the academy provide you with top-tier resources, but I will also personally do my utmost to nurture you, striving to help you break through to the Title Realm before the age of twenty, become Super Douluo before the age of twenty-five, and become a new generation Ultimate Douluo before the age of fifty."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu was genuinely tempted.
He disdained Shrek Academy's resources, but the treasures such as the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and the light-elemental Dragon Core that Mu En might possess would definitely be beneficial to him.
"Mu En, please state your terms first."
While he was tempted, none of the treasures mentioned above were necessities for Jiang Yu. If Mu En's conditions were too unreasonable, Jiang Yu wouldn't bother with such a loss.
Mu En didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:
"I don't have many years left. After I pass away, I hope you can lend a helping hand to the Shrek Academy."
Before Jiang Yu answer, Mu En added:
"This isn't about asking you to help Shrek Academy become even more glorious. As you said, standing high but not firmly on the ground will inevitably lead to a fall. I only hope that if the academy faces a major upheaval in the future, you can help Shrek Academy preserve its heritage to the best of your ability. The academy's millennia-long foundation must not be arbitrarily severed."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes.
After a moment's thought, he nodded in agreement.
It's impossible for him to help Shrek Academy reach new heights or maintain its current prosperity, but if it's just about preserving Shrek Academy's legacy, that's fine.
After all, as long as Shrek Academy's name remains, isn't that preserving its legacy?
As for the rest, they have absolutely nothing to do with him.
Seeing Jiang Yu nod, Mu En smiled faintly and then continued:
"A genius with an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul recently emerged from the Outer Court, are you aware of this?"
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow, "That Huo Yuhao?"
Mu En was somewhat surprised. After Huo Yuhao's display of his Ultimate Ice Second Martial Soul skill during the promotion assessment amazed everyone, the Sea God Pavilion held a Sea God Pavilion Meeting to discuss this genius, who is the fourth person in ten thousand years to have an Ultimate Attribute Twin Martial Souls soul. This meeting was held yesterday afternoon.
To date, only a handful of people in the entire academy, aside from the many Sea God Pavilion Elder, knew that Huo Yuhao possessed the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. However, Jiang Yu's early discovery surprised Mu En.
"Indeed, I am aware of his grudge against you, and I know that hatred still exists between you, but the academy has already..."
"Mu En!" Jiang Yu interrupted Mu En, "The previous compensation could only alleviate our dissatisfaction and hatred towards the academy's teaching accident, not our hatred towards the culprit. These are two different things and should not be confused."
Mu En was silent for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said:
You're right, I was too hasty.
Huo Yuhao's potential as Twin Martial Souls is unparalleled in the Outer Court. Most importantly, Huo Yuhao has a clean background, is an orphan, and is a member of the Tang Sect. Such a talent is too important for the Shrek Academy, so important that it could even affect the glory of the Shrek Academy for the next three hundred years. Mu En could not possibly not value him.
However, Huo Yuhao's character is indeed questionable, a point that Mu En does not deny.
He wanted to resolve the hatred between Huo Yuhao and Jiang Yu, but now it seems that things are far more complicated than he thought.
After a moment's thought, Mu En continued:
"In that case, let's talk about this later. I assure you that I will keep my promise, but I also hope you can reconsider. After all, the significance of a Soul Master with Ultimate Attribute is self-evident."
Jiang Yu didn't reply, but that was his attitude.
Since Huo Yuhao has already been leashed, he is destined to be unable to escape the control of the God King. Jiang Yu has no habit of helping his enemy escape his tragic fate.
Since Huo Yuhao's life started as a tragedy, let him live a tragic life forever.
Seeing Jiang Yu's expression, Mu En sighed and then changed the subject.
"There's something else I need to tell you. It concerns an ancient ruin, and the reason I was able to break through to the Ultimate Douluo was thanks to the treasures I obtained while exploring that ruin."
"It can be said that the birth of every Ultimate Douluo is accompanied by great fortune. And discovering and gaining something from that ruin is the embodiment of my fortune."
Upon hearing what Mu En said, Jiang Yu immediately became interested and then asked curiously:
"Mu En, according to you, are there still unexplored areas of that ancient ruin, or perhaps some hidden treasures?"
Mu En shook his head. "Neither."
"What's going on? You're not just going to tell me a story, are you?" Jiang Yu, somewhat surprised.
"Can you have a little patience, kid?" Mu En, sounding a bit annoyed.
That being said, Mu En quickly got straight to the point:
"When I explored those ruins back then, I discovered a secret. The ruins didn't seem to be a whole, or rather, it was more like a part of a larger ruin or a small world that fell off for some reason, and then merged with the Douluo Continent, which is how those ruins came to be."
"Deep within those ruins, I once discovered a massive spacetime vortex. That vortex seemed to connect to a vast land, possessing an extremely powerful pulling force. However, the spatial and temporal forces there were far too chaotic and violent. After breaking through to the Ultimate Douluo, I attempted to enter it, but was instead injured by the power of spacetime. It took me nearly two years to recover."
"You are a darling of time and space, born with the ability to control the power of time and space. Once you break through to the seventh ring and possess Martial Soul Avatar or sufficient means of survival, you might be able to try to explore it. I am more than 90% confident that there is some kind of treasure unknown to outsiders hidden behind that time and space vortex. I will not let you take the risk in vain."
