Zhu Ziyang directly entered the Great Fierce Land of the Star Dou Forest. Here, he saw a lake filled with the aura of life. Presumably, this was the true core of the Star Dou Forest, the Lake of Life.
He stood by the lake, his expression calm, but his heart was extremely vigilant, because he could sense that deep within this Lake of Life, there existed a terrifying being. With his current strength, this being was still not to be underestimated, which made Zhu Ziyang very curious, because a being of this level was at least a god-level existence.
"Brother Ziyang!" At this moment, a sweet and cloying shout interrupted his thoughts. He turned around and saw Fifth Huan'er with a face full of surprise, running towards him. Behind her followed the two ferocious beasts, Di Tian and Bi Ji.
"Huan'er!" Zhu Ziyang immediately hugged Fifth Huan'er, then lifted her up, spun her around in the air a few times, and then put her down. His gaze then fell on Di Tian and Bi Ji, and he said, "Long time no see, Lord Di Tian, Lord Bi Ji."
"Human, you..." Di Tian's gaze fell on Zhu Ziyang, his pupils involuntarily constricted sharply, and then he said with a hint of shock, "Your cultivation!"
"Hehe, after a year of seclusion, I was lucky enough to reach level 99." Zhu Ziyang smiled faintly and said, "Lord Di Tian, you should understand the purpose of my visit this time, right?"
"Hmm!" Di Tian restrained the shock in his heart, nodded and said, "We have already prepared, just waiting for your notification."
"That's great." Hearing this, Zhu Ziyang showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "Our academy has also prepared. We can now discuss the time and place for the first cooperation between humans and soul beasts. To show the sincerity of our Shrek Academy, I suggest setting the location in the Star Dou Forest. How about it?"
"It will be in the edge area." Di Tian looked deeply at Zhu Ziyang and said, "If it's too deep, it will disturb the order within the Star Dou Forest."
"Alright!" Zhu Ziyang nodded, without refusing, "Then what about the time?"
"How about three days later?" Di Tian said.
"Then it's decided. Three days later, at the edge area of the Star Dou Forest to the north, directly facing Shrek Academy, I will bring people from our Shrek Academy to arrive on time." Zhu Ziyang said.
"Hmm!" Di Tian nodded and said, "Our Star Dou Forest will absolutely not go back on our word."
"Since that's the case, I'll go back to the academy to prepare first." Zhu Ziyang smiled faintly, "I also want to take Huan'er with me."
Hearing this, Fifth Huan'er's pretty face was immediately filled with smiles, and she hugged Zhu Ziyang's arm tightly, showing her attitude.
Seeing this, although Di Tian and Bi Ji were extremely unwilling, they could only agree. Not to mention whether their refusal would have any effect, just the fact that they had just discussed cooperation with Zhu Ziyang and then had a conflict was really inappropriate. Most importantly, Di Tian was now very wary of Zhu Ziyang's strength.
A year ago, when Zhu Ziyang's cultivation was only level 97, he could already make him feel danger. Now, he could not see through this human at all. Although he had not yet taken that step, according to Di Tian's own perception, Zhu Ziyang was probably not far from taking that step.
After careful consideration, Di Tian still let Zhu Ziyang take Fifth Huan'er away. He was unwilling to provoke a human who was about to become a god.
As for the luck carried by the auspicious beast, in fact, he was not worried. With Zhu Ziyang there, there were basically no existences on the continent that could harm the auspicious beast, let alone covet the soul beast luck on the auspicious beast. When the auspicious beast followed Zhu Ziyang to ascend to the God Realm and leave the Douluo Continent, the luck on her would automatically detach and return to heaven and earth. At that time, a new auspicious beast would be born in the Star Dou Forest or other soul beast gathering places on the continent. As long as the soul beasts were not extinct, the luck of the soul beast clan would always be there.
Zhu Ziyang brought Fifth Huan'er back to Shrek Academy.
Zhu Ziyang left Fifth Huan'er in his room to play with Xingcai, Xiong Da, and Xiong Er, while he turned and went to Tianyuan Pavilion. The elders of Tianyuan Pavilion had already sensed Zhu Ziyang's return. In fact, Zhu Ziyang did not hide his aura, precisely so that they could sense it and then come to him directly, saving him the trouble of notifying people.
He had not been sitting in the Tianyuan Pavilion hall for long when Cai Mei'er and Xian Lin'er came together.
"Two senior sisters, why are there only the two of you? Where are the big senior brother and the third senior brother? Where are Elder Xuan, Elder Lin, and the others?" Zhu Ziyang was a bit surprised and asked.
"It's not because of you!" Xian Lin'er rolled her eyes at Zhu Ziyang, but her tone was full of gratitude. She said, "Didn't you leave us three Origin Golden Pills? Elder Xuan and the others are all in seclusion. Only we two sisters are unlucky and left to take care of the academy affairs."
"I see." Hearing this, Zhu Ziyang suddenly realised, then smiled again and said, "Then, two senior sisters, how are the things I entrusted to you prepared?"
"Starting two months ago, we have been selecting suitable inner courtyard disciples. Up to now, there are more than ten disciples with soul ring vacancies who can participate in the first batch of soul spirit system construction." Cai Mei'er said.
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Zhu Ziyang showed a trace of satisfaction on his face, smiled and said, "That's great. I have already discussed with Di Tian. Three days later, at the edge of the Star Dou Forest, the first soul spirit system construction will be carried out."
"Is that so!" Both Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er showed expressions of interest. Obviously, they were also very interested in the existence of soul spirits. If they did not already need soul rings, they would definitely experience it personally. After all, whether it was Xian Lin'er or Cai Mei'er, both were innovative talents who were brave in exploration and practice.
"Two senior sisters gather this batch of disciples. They are the protagonists of this event. We can't let the protagonists be in the dark all the time, not knowing what to do!"
"Okay." Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er nodded and said, "You wait, we'll go find people now."
After speaking, the two deans left.
Both were decisive and practical doers, and their work was always extremely efficient. They did not let Zhu Ziyang wait too long. They brought a batch of disciples back to Tianyuan Pavilion.
"Pavilion Master, they are here." Xian Lin'er stood outside Tianyuan Pavilion and shouted respectfully. Because there were disciples present, Xian Lin'er respectfully addressed Zhu Ziyang as Pavilion Master. She grasped the sense of propriety very well and was not too casual just because she was Zhu Ziyang's senior sister. Cai Mei'er was the same.
Zhu Ziyang walked out of Tianyuan Pavilion. His gaze first scanned the more than ten disciples brought by the two. With this scan ha, all familiar faces: Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi, Zhou Tianhe, Chu Hua, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue, and a few inner courtyard disciples who usually rarely stayed in the academy.
"Everyone has always been puzzled as to why the academy asked you to come here. I won't keep you in suspense." Zhu Ziyang chuckled and said directly, "Next, I will show you the latest research results of the academy. It is no exaggeration to say that this research result will change the pattern of the soul master world in the future."
With a thought from Zhu Ziyang, the Snow Empress appeared by his side.
Seeing a white-clothed peerless woman suddenly appear beside Zhu Ziyang, the more than ten inner courtyard disciples were very surprised. Among them, Huo Yuhao was the most, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. Obviously, he had already learned the identity of this woman from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"She is the Snow Empress, my first soul spirit, and also the first soul spirit on the Douluo Continent." Zhu Ziyang said, his voice calm, but it immediately focused the attention of the more than ten disciples, "Soul spirit, this is the research result I want to show you. And what you will participate in next is the construction of the soul spirit system.
I think you must be full of questions at this time, but I will not answer them one by one for you. I will only tell you a few important concepts. The other doubts will be resolved by yourselves when you have soul spirits.
First, soul spirit, as the name suggests, is the spirit of the soul ring. It is a spiritual body existence born from soul beasts and soul rings. After a special contract, it possesses the wisdom and combat ability of the soul beast before its death.
Second, the essence of the soul spirit is the same as the soul ring. Both require the soul master to provide a soul ring position. However, compared to the soul ring, the birth conditions of the soul spirit are more stringent.
Finally, the strength of the soul spirit can improve together with the strength of the soul master. A soul spirit born from a hundred-year soul ring has the opportunity to make the hundred-year soul ring advance to a thousand-year soul ring.
That's all I have to say. Three days later, I will take you to obtain your own soul spirits. Of course, if someone is unwilling to contract a soul spirit, you can choose to withdraw now."
No one chose to withdraw. Whether out of curiosity or trust in Zhu Ziyang, in short, no one withdrew.
Zhu Ziyang was very satisfied, and Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er were also very satisfied.
