Elder Xuan was responsible for counting the people. After confirming that not a single person was missing, everyone prepared to set off and return to the Heavenly Soul Empire.
It took them a full day and night to fly back into the Heavenly Soul Empire's territory.
Because this trip had gone exceptionally smoothly and there had been no casualties, Di Ruiqiu also did not have any intention of leaving the group. Although she had a love rival, that rival was not especially strong, so she was not afraid.
Besides, at this time, Huo Yuhao had not officially announced a relationship with anyone. Di Ruiqiu and Ma Xiaotao were in normal competition. Naturally, Di Ruiqiu would not let Huo Yuhao run away.
After this trip, Tang Wutong's impression of Huo Yuhao was extremely poor. She basically did not pay much attention to Huo Yuhao at all and only kept sticking beside Su Yunlin.
About another half day later, everyone finally returned to Shrek City.
After returning to Shrek Academy, everyone finally relaxed their tense nerves. This Spirit Master Tournament had truly been dangerous.
The members of the Sea God's Pavilion returned to the Sea God's Pavilion first and began a Sea God's Pavilion meeting.
Elder Mu sat in the main seat. "Everyone, summarize this Spirit Master Tournament. This old man will go first…"
Elder Mu told everyone the information about the Holy Spirit Cult colluding with the Sun Moon Empire, as well as the intelligence on Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Kong Deming.
"Xuan Zi, this Kong Deming must be given special attention. Although he is only level 94, he has condensed a Spirit Core. At least among all the Class 9 soul engineers of the Sun Moon Empire this old man has seen, he is the only one who has condensed a Spirit Core.
"His life-bound soul tool is extremely powerful. According to the intelligence submitted by Xuan Ziwen from the Tang Sect, that soul tool is called the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier. It is a life-bound soul tool, and to him, it is equivalent to an external Spirit Bone.
"This person's strength has already touched the level of a Limit Douluo. If he advances another step and becomes a Class 10 soul engineer, he may completely become an ultimate-level combat force. Xuan Zi, if you encounter this person, you must be careful."
Elder Xuan nodded. "Yes!"
Elder Xuan was very straightforward. Whatever Elder Mu said was what mattered. He only had to properly carry out the matters Elder Mu instructed.
Elder Mu continued, "Mm. According to our intelligence, the teams that participated in the Spirit Master Tournament have been detained. As important forces of our Douluo Continent, we cannot ignore them.
"This time, it is our Shrek Academy's turn to act again. Little Song, this time, you and Shaozhe will be responsible. Select skilled people from the academy, equip them properly with soul tools, and head to the Sun Moon Empire to rescue them.
"I will issue a Sea God's Pavilion Order and have all three Douluo nations act to support us."
"Yes."
Even though they had returned, there were still quite a few matters. Su Yunlin quietly listened just like that.
The Sea God's Pavilion meeting ended.
Su Yunlin left the Sea God's Pavilion. When he was about to return to the Tang Sect, he encountered Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu.
Su Yunlin looked at the two of them and frowned. He kept feeling that there was something suspicious between them.
"What is it?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Di Ruiqiu, then gripped her hand tightly.
"Yunlin, I want to spread the Spirit Soul method to the Star Dou Great Forest, allowing the academy to cooperate with the Star Dou Great Forest and ease the relationship between Spirit Beasts and humans."
Su Yunlin raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what makes you think those Spirit Beasts will believe you? Because of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion beside you?"
The moment these words came out, Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu were both shocked. Di Ruiqiu directly hid behind Huo Yuhao. She felt as though her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Her identity had actually been discovered.
Huo Yuhao's ability to accept this was stronger than Di Ruiqiu's. In his eyes, Su Yunlin was an omnipresent and omnipotent existence.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. "You really did know. That's right! Qiu'er is the Auspicious Beast. Di Ruiqiu is the Emperor Auspicious Beast. Qiu'er likes autumn after all, because the falling leaves in autumn resemble the color of her fur, so she was given that name."
"I'm not interested in listening to you talk about all that. Make it short," Su Yunlin immediately interrupted Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother are about to advance to Spirit Sage soon, and the others will also advance one after another. Spirit Souls can attach multiple Spirit Rings, so this can solve the problem of Spirit Rings.
"At the very least, it can let the Savage Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest know that the Spirit Soul method can improve the relationship between Spirit Beasts and humans. Qiu'er promised me that she can persuade Di Tian."
Su Yunlin rubbed his chin. "Di Tian… that could work. He is the one in charge. If he agrees, there really won't be any problem. How about this? You and Di Ruiqiu go to the Star Dou Great Forest and explain this matter to Di Tian.
"Then we'll arrange a time. Once Eldest Senior Brother and the others reach their bottlenecks, they will formally establish Spirit Soul relationships with the Star Dou Great Forest's side. I imagine there should be quite a few old, weak, sick, and disabled Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, right?"
"Mm, good! I'll go handle it right away!"
Huo Yuhao and Di Ruiqiu then left. Su Yunlin watched them go.
"Hehe, I didn't expect this old man would still be able to witness an era where the relationship between humans and Spirit Beasts eases. Sure enough, living long is a good thing."
At some point, Elder Mu had appeared beside Su Yunlin.
Su Yunlin smiled. "It is quite good. The Spirit Soul method indeed has its merits. Take Tang Ya's Spirit Soul, Qingqing, for example. The effect of Tang Ya's seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body, is better than the amplification effect of any Martial Soul True Body.
"According to our academy's records, only a Martial Soul True Body granted by a 100,000-year Spirit Ring can surpass Tang Ya's, and not by much. A suitable Spirit Soul grants far too good an effect to its attached Spirit Ring.
"According to Elder Yi, if a Spirit Master's final 3 Spirit Rings are granted by Spirit Souls, then even if those Spirit Souls' ages are not high, they can still help that person cultivate to the Super Douluo level."
Elder Mu stroked his beard and said, "That is excellent. I wonder what choice the Star Dou Great Forest will make."
Su Yunlin smiled. "Teacher, rest assured. Eldest Senior Brother will definitely receive the best. I will invite the Myriad Demon King to act and search for an elderly Heavenly Dragon Horse with a suitable age.
"The Heavenly Dragon Horse possesses the Light Holy Dragon bloodline and can further purify Eldest Senior Brother's Light Holy Dragon bloodline. The seventh Spirit Ring granted by a Heavenly Dragon Horse will surely have an excellent amplification effect.
"Afterward, I will think of a way to search for the Sea God Clan. They possess god-bestowed trials there, and we can obtain god-bestowed Spirit Rings from them. In the future, Eldest Senior Brother will have at least one 100,000-year Spirit Ring, which will save you from worrying, Teacher."
Elder Mu smiled. "Hehe, you've thought it through quite thoroughly. Bei Bei can be said to be the only seedling of my line. He has done quite well, managing to win over both Lexuan and Xiaoya. At the very least, there will be 2 children.
"This old man must also work hard and strive to live a little longer. In the future, I can help you all look after your children."
Su Yunlin smiled. "Then among your disciples' children, Teacher will be seeing mine first."
"Mm, indeed. Have you thought of names for the children?"
Su Yunlin looked toward the sky. "I've thought of many. We'll choose slowly when the time comes."
Elder Mu stroked his beard and looked toward the still lively outer courtyard. "The academy truly is wonderful. Oh right, about the Yin Yang Fortune Pill you proposed in the meeting earlier, is it really that miraculous?"
Su Yunlin shook his head. "Wutong and I haven't taken it before, but it was created by Lord Tang San, so it shouldn't be false. I think one Yin Yang Fortune Pill should be able to help Elder Xuan and Grandfather advance to Limit Douluo."
Elder Mu pondered for a moment. "Good! We'll place this matter as the highest priority for now. First, gather Shrek and the Tang Sect's top soul engineers together and forge a Class 9 pill furnace.
"Then, how about you and Wutong take responsibility for refining the Yin Yang Fortune Pill?"
Su Yunlin nodded. "Mm, leave it to Wutong and me. But not right now. First, let's prepare Wutong's and my wedding. After all, I've already made her belly big. I must give her a grand wedding."
Elder Mu smiled faintly. "You brat, you really acted fast. Treat that girl well. Hurry up and go accompany her."
"Mm."
