The next morning, Lan Muzi found Qian Mo and Gu Yuena and said that he was instructed by Ya Li to take the two to the Sea God Pavilion to discuss compensation matters.
The Sea God Lake was sparkling, the water clear and profoundly deep.
In the distance, some aquatic plants floated on the lake surface, radiating the breath of life.
The three stepped onto a small boat by the Sea God Lake, and Lan Muzi gently waved a spirit power, causing the small boat to naturally glide towards the direction of Sea God Island.
Upon setting foot on Sea God Island, Qian Mo immediately felt the air filled with vibrant vitality.
As a traverser, he knew this vitality originated from the Golden Ancient Tree at the core of Sea God Island.
Furthermore, this Golden Ancient Tree was not only the core of Shrek Academy but also the life core of the entire Douluo Star.
The vegetation on Sea God Island was exceptionally lush, nourished by the dense vitality.
Those towering ancient trees gave people the feeling of entering a primeval forest.
Lan Muzi led them through the island, over a few small hills, and arrived in front of a two-story wooden house deep within Sea God Island.
Before knocking, Lan Muzi turned around and said with a serious expression, "Later, you two will not only meet Saint Spirit Your Majesty but also very likely meet the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, the leader of Shrek Academy, Sky Your Majesty."
"So, you two, I beg you, don't be impulsive, don't cause trouble."
"Don't worry, senior, we are very well-behaved," Qian Mo nodded vigorously.
Yun Ming is beyond words, a bit too strong, truly not someone to provoke!
"I hope so!" Lan Muzi sighed, came to the wooden house door, and knocked respectfully.
"Please come in," Ya Li's gentle voice came from inside the house.
Lan Muzi led Qian Mo and Gu Yuena in.
The decoration inside the wooden house was very simple and plain, everything was made of wood.
In the living room, Ya Li sat on a wooden chair, holding an ancient book in her hand, presumably reading just now.
By the window stood a man who looked extremely similar to the person Qian Mo fought in the fourth round on the Heroic Spirit Stage, looking into the distance.
This person should be Yun Ming.
"Master of the Pavilion, Vice Master of the Pavilion, I have brought Qian Mo and Gu Yuena," Lan Muzi said respectfully.
Ya Li nodded and said gently, "Thank you for your trouble, child, you may go down first."
"Yes," Lan Muzi turned and left the wooden house cleanly and decisively.
Yun Ming by the window turned around, and his pair of sharp, resolute eyes met Qian Mo's gaze.
The next moment, Qian Mo's vision was filled with vastness.
The Sky Divine Spear broke through the clouds from the horizon and descended towards him.
Amidst the swirling clouds, the spear light twisted and surged like crashing waves, its sharp edge cutting and piercing through the Sky and earth, as if all the stars in the Sky were mere backdrops.
Qian Mo's mind was greatly shaken.
He stared blankly at the Sky Spear intent that could shake the Sky and earth rushing towards him, feeling a sense of sudden enlightenment in his heart, as if he had grasped something in the ethereal realm, yet he couldn't see it clearly.
After an unknown amount of time, the vastness before his eyes dissipated, and when Qian Mo came back to his senses, he found Gu Yuena, Yun Ming, and Ya Li looking at him strangely.
"Why did you suddenly fall into enlightenment just now?" Gu Yuena asked curiously.
"Ah? Did you feel anything unexpected just now?" Qian Mo was startled, then asked.
Gu Yuena shook her head, "No, I didn't feel anything just now?"
Was it only directed at him?
A hint of doubt arose in Qian Mo's heart, but when he looked at Yun Ming, he still cupped his hands in thanks.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sky Your Majesty."
Yun Ming waved his hand, "You don't need to thank me.
I originally just wanted to scare you, I didn't intend to teach you anything.
Whatever you can comprehend is entirely your own ability."
Upon hearing this, Qian Mo couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Scare me? You're really quite childish, old man.
"Brother Ming, why scare the child for no reason?" Ya Li said helplessly.
Yun Ming snorted coldly, "I just wanted to see how bold the student who dared to point at my Sea God Pavilion Elder and curse is."
"Then, in your opinion, senior, how is my courage?" Qian Mo asked.
"Not bad, you are a talent, but compared to how I was back then, you are still a bit lacking," Yun Ming said quite proudly.
Qian Mo silently rolled his eyes in his heart.
When I go back, I'll have the Heroic Spirit Stage simulate you from back then, and see if I don't slap you flying with one wing.
"However, your comprehension is quite good.
The fact that you can understand my Sky Spear intent means you are not far from understanding Seven Kill Sword intent.
Go back and cultivate well, you can enter the realm of sword intent within half a year," Yun Ming instructed with his hands behind his back.
"This junior understands!" Qian Mo said.
Ya Li interjected at this point, "Alright, alright, let's talk about the main business first.
Can you discuss cultivation later?"
"Stop standing, sit down first."
After everyone sat down as instructed, Ya Li said gently, "The academy's compensation for you two is partly contribution points, which have already been credited to your identity cards.
As for the other part, the academy wants to hear your opinions."
Qian Mo and Gu Yuena exchanged glances, and finally, Qian Mo cautiously probed, "Then I'll make my request?"
"Yes, go ahead," Ya Li said gently.
At this moment, Yun Ming said with a serious tone, "Think clearly, you only have one chance.
Also, don't make any excessive demands."
Qian Mo nodded and stated his request under the gazes of Ya Li and Yun Ming.
"I want to enter the Shrek Library!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Ming's eyes immediately flashed with deadly sharpness, and he said coldly, "Do you know what kind of place the Shrek Library is?"
"Of course I do.
It contains the cultivation experiences of previous generations of Shrek Academy seniors, rare and out-of-print ancient books treasured by Shrek Academy, and some confidential information of Shrek Academy," Qian Mo said with calm eyes.
He had already inquired about this.
"Since you know the importance of the Shrek Library, you still dare to make this request," Yun Ming said coldly.
Qian Mo said in a deep voice, "I don't ask for much.
I only want to read the cultivation experiences of Spirit Ice Douluo."
"Spirit Ice Douluo, why do you want to read Spirit Ice Douluo's cultivation experiences?" Ya Li said curiously.
"I am also a twin spirits wielder like Spirit Ice Douluo.
I have some doubts about twin spirits that I hope to resolve from Spirit Ice Douluo's cultivation experiences," Qian Mo explained.
Yun Ming pondered for two seconds, then slowly shook his head, "If it were the cultivation experiences of other Shrek Academy seniors, I could let you read them, but not Spirit Ice Douluo's!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Mo frowned deeply and thought to himself, Is it not possible?
Should I increase the offer or give up?
Suddenly, Gu Yuena spoke up, "What if my compensation is also to enter the Shrek Library?"
After hearing this, Yun Ming pondered for a long time, and finally relented, "Alright, but young lady, you need to think clearly.
The compensation from Shrek Academy is extremely precious.
Are you sure you want to use it for this boy?"
Gu Yuena nodded firmly, "I am sure!"
"Good, follow me."
Yun Ming acted swiftly and decisively, immediately setting off with Qian Mo and Gu Yuena to the Shrek Library.
