Chapter 161 Moon Decides to Take a Different Path
The Sea God Pavilion has fallen silent again.
Mu En initially had the idea of taking on apprentices to strengthen the bond between Dai Huabin and Shrek.
But now, Mu En has personally put an end to the idea of taking on apprentices.
What should I teach my apprentices?
The cultivation path of ultimate ice is revealed by the fact that Xue Qingyao, who is by Dai Huabin's side, is from a hidden family, and the hidden family behind Xue Qingyao must have a cultivation system.
As for the "Reign Over the World" combat skill?
Mu En gave a wry smile.
He had spent most of his life honing his "Reign Over the World" skill, and originally thought it would take at least a year and a half to guide Dai Huabin so that he could first get a feel for it.
As a result, this kid sat there for an hour and directly figured out his own way.
"Defying the heavens and defying the gods, I alone am supreme."
Mu En silently repeated the eight words to himself and shook his head.
That's outrageous.
But that will was so real that even he felt a sense of pressure.
I can't teach it.
Mu En acknowledged this fact. He could offer Dai Huabin far too little.
Furthermore, people like Dai Huabin cannot be cunningly bound to Shrek Academy.
That leaves only one other way: to keep this person in Shrek Academy's system in another way.
Mu En's thoughts drifted away.
The girls around Dai Huabin were all outstanding.
Not to mention his fiancée Zhu Lu, the two of them have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, making them inseparable. And Xue Qingyao is an even more formidable level 65 Ice Soul Emperor, with an unfathomable hidden family behind her.
In addition to Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Cui Yajie from the outer courtyard, and Ning Tian from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School...
Mu En rubbed his temples.
However, Ma Xiaotao is a good person. The hidden dangers of the Evil Phoenix will have to be resolved sooner or later. Yan Shaozhe suggested that Dai Huabin suppress the Evil Phoenix with ultimate ice. If this path is successful, Ma Xiaotao will inevitably have a deeper connection with Dai Huabin.
Suddenly, Mu En thought of someone else!
But... sigh...
"Perhaps Beibei and Lexuan are just not meant to be."
Mu En sighed and muttered to himself.
Forget it, these things can't be rushed.
...
Outside Poseidon Island, Ma Xiaotao walked ahead, taking large strides, the hem of her dark red outfit swaying slightly in the wind. Dai Huabin followed half a step behind, the two walking along the bamboo path they had come from towards the outer courtyard.
After walking for about three minutes, Ma Xiaotao suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Did you just learn Elder Mu's 'Reign Over the World' technique in the Sea God Pavilion?"
Dai Huabin didn't rush to answer, but glanced at her.
Ma Xiaotao pouted:
"Stop pretending. I sensed it while I was waiting for you outside. That aura was very similar to Elder Mu's domineering presence, but not exactly the same, and even more..."
She thought for a moment, but couldn't find the right words.
"Even more arrogant."
Dai Huabin smiled and said, "Yes, Elder Mu gave me a few pointers, and after thinking about it for a while, I figured it out."
Ma Xiaotao was stunned, extremely surprised.
"After a moment of contemplation?"
"Mm," Dai Huabin replied.
Ma Xiaotao was speechless. How long had it been?
Elder Mu's "Reign Over the World" is something that many people in the inner court want to learn.
Mu En's direct disciple, who was also her teacher, along with Dean Xian Lin'er of the Soul Guidance Department, had followed Mu En for many years, but neither of them had been able to comprehend it.
Dai Huabin actually said that he figured it out after thinking about it for a while.
"Aren't you... going a bit too far?"
Ma Xiaotao's tone was somewhat complicated, and full of sourness.
Dai Huabin chuckled lightly: "Just lucky."
Looking at his calm demeanor, Ma Xiaotao suddenly became a little annoyed: "You're just too modest, your modesty is a bit pretentious."
"This isn't called modesty, it's called being realistic," Dai Huabin said.
"Fine, fine, whatever you want."
Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes, turned around again, and continued walking forward.
After taking a few steps, she couldn't help but turn back.
"But to be honest, your talent is truly bizarre. I've never seen anyone with a stronger talent than you."
"You flatter me, senior."
"Don't give me that." Ma Xiaotao snorted. "If you run into trouble in the inner courtyard in the future, just tell me, and I'll protect you."
She's said that twice today.
Dai Huabin did not refuse and nodded.
Ma Xiaotao didn't really understand why she cared so much about a second-year junior.
It might be because the ultimate ice is crucial to her Evil Fire, or it might be because this person has an aura that makes people feel "you can't go wrong by following him".
Anyway, as Teacher Yan Shaozhe said, the better we get to know each other.
The two walked out of Poseidon Island and across Poseidon Lake. Ma Xiaotao escorted Dai Huabin all the way to the dormitory building of the Foreign Languages Department before stopping.
"We've arrived. I'm heading back. I'll have Xixi inform you of the time for the joint training session between the two teams tomorrow."
"Good."
Ma Xiaotao waved her hand, turned around and took two steps, then turned back and tossed out a sentence:
"By the way, I won't tell everyone about your enlightenment."
Thanks.
"But I will tell my teacher."
Ma Xiaotao didn't give Dai Huabin a chance to refute her and strode away.
Dai Huabin stood at the entrance of the dormitory building, watching her figure disappear around the corner, and shook his head.
Ma Xiaotao's personality is indeed just like that described in the original novel: outspoken and unable to keep a secret.
Tell her teacher... that's the same as telling Cai Meier that Cai Meier is Yan Shaozhe's wife, which means the entire senior management of the Foreign Languages Department will know.
Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
He pushed open the dormitory door and went inside.
Zhu Lu sat quietly on the edge of the bed, waiting. When she heard the door open, she immediately stood up.
"I'm back."
"Um."
Dai Huabin closed the door and sat down next to her.
Zhu Lu didn't ask any more questions, but simply waited quietly. This was her habit; Dai Huabin would speak when he wanted to.
"Elder Mu pointed out the path to the integration of beliefs."
Dai Huabin briefly summarized what happened inside the Sea God Pavilion, including the core of "Reign Over the World" mentioned by Mu En, as well as the combat skill he himself comprehended in an hour.
Zhu Lu listened and remained silent for a few seconds.
"What do you call it?"
"Defying the heavens and defying the gods, I alone am supreme."
Zhu Lu pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"This name sounds a lot like yours."
Dai Huabin raised an eyebrow: "How is it similar?"
"Overbearing," Zhu Lu added in a low voice, "but it's definitely a name you would choose."
Dai Huabin smiled. He leaned against the headboard and reached out to ruffle Zhu Lu's hair. Zhu Lu let his hand rest on her head.
"There's one more thing." Dai Huabin paused. "Just now, during that moment of enlightenment in the Sea God Pavilion, my soul power broke through."
Zhu Lu tilted her head slightly, her tone questioning.
"The peak level of level 45 directly jumped to level 47."
Zhu Lu was genuinely surprised this time. She'd jumped almost two levels in one go?
"At the moment of enlightenment, my belief and spiritual power completely merged, driving the circulation of my soul power. The bottleneck was shattered just like that."
Dai Huabin himself was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, it made sense. The condensation of belief itself was a baptism of the spiritual sea, and the qualitative change in spiritual power also made the soul power circuit much smoother.
