Chapter 112 Reunion, Poseidon Island
The lobby on the first floor of the small building.
The original five members of Shrek Academy, Shui Bing'er, the Golden Iron Triangle, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Bone Douluo, a total of 12 people, sat casually in various places in the room, their eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Qian Renxue and Chi Shu sitting together on the central sofa.
"Little tree, call me Mommy."
Chi Shu rolled her eyes. "Aunt Xue, although Dad and you are lovers, I'm Dad's child. I won't change how I address you until you get married!"
"Can't you be a little more accommodating? Or you could at least try to appease me!"
Chi Shu crossed her arms.
"No! This is a matter of principle."
Qian Renxue leaned back on the sofa, looking utterly bored, and said, "When is your dad coming back?"
"It'll be soon. Aunt Xue, if you're really bored, you can play games, like Connect Four or Spider Solitaire. If that doesn't work, you can help me proofread the scripts! The radio club members have sent me a lot of scripts, and I have to review them all. Can you take a look at this one?"
Chi Shu handed the terminal in his hand to Qian Renxue, intending to make another terminal using the life mycelium, since it wouldn't take more than ten minutes anyway.
Qian Renxue glanced at it twice and laughed, "Even if a kitten runs into the academy, people will report it! This name is quite good, 'Black Cloud Treading on Snow'... very descriptive."
Chi Shu leaned closer to Qian Renxue, scrolled down the manuscript, and saw the accompanying picture, his eyes lighting up immediately.
The kitten was jet black, but its four paws were snow-white. It carefully held its food, and its pitiful and adorable appearance melted people's hearts.
"What an adorable kitten!"
"Little Tree, do you like kittens?"
"I love any intelligent life form, and I especially love them if they're cute!"
"Should we keep it as a pet?"
Chi Shu shook his head. "Life that's been confined and deprived of its freedom is no longer endearing. This manuscript is good, I'll take it!"
"Okay, how do I do it?"
"Exit the page. In the broadcasting club's group chat, move the files from the pending review folder to the approved folder, and move the rejected files to the rejected folder. Do it like this..."
"So that's how it's done..."
In the Spiritual Communication, a group of people are having a heated conversation, derived from the Wisdom Skull of Spiritual Concentration and the Purple Demon Eye.
Tang San: What should we do? This woman is very likely an important figure in the Spirit Hall.
Ma Hongjun: Whatever! Who can surpass Ping Ge and pose a threat to Qian Renxue?
Chen Xin: Although Chi Shu is only an avatar, his strength is beyond our reach. He suppressed Golden Crocodile Douluo with a single palm strike back then, so dealing with us now would probably be no big deal.
Ning Rongrong: So we'll just watch like this?
Ma Hongjun: If you can't do something, just give up.
Xiao Wu: Of all the people Ping-ge could have asked, why did he have to choose her?!
Ning Fengzhi: Sigh~
Ancient Banyan: Sigh~
Flanders: Sigh~
Liu Erlong: Sigh~
Yu Xiaogang: Sigh~
Shui Bing'er: Sigh~
Oscar: Tsk!
Tang San: Oscar, what are your thoughts?
Oscar: Ping's actions are underhanded!
The person who disrupted the formation attracted everyone's attention.
Tang San: What do you mean?
Oscar: Ping must have known Qian Renxue's identity all along, but he didn't tell us. That's not a fair thing to do!
Tang San:……
— Ping-ge has long said that he is absolutely neutral. If he were to tell us Qian Renxue's identity, it would be unfair to Qian Renxue, and it would be inconsistent with his principles.
Oscar: Anyway, he has to compensate us for our emotional distress! He at least has to treat us to a big meal!
That's it?
The question arose in everyone's mind, but they soon understood.
Indeed, the Spirit Hall is the enemy of everyone present.
Chi Ping became lovers with a big shot from the Spirit Hall without saying a word and even helped her conceal her identity, which was undoubtedly a "betrayal" of their friendship.
But neither of them will give up this friendship.
Because of Chi Ping's position, he would not do anything unnecessary. Moreover, Chi Ping had given more in this friendship. If it weren't for the inheritance of the God of Life, his left arm would still be just a prosthetic limb woven from mycelium.
Therefore, there needs to be an "explanation".
A small gift, an apology, a big meal... anything is fine.
Everyone just needs a reason to back down.
Ma Hongjun: The way this woman and Chi Shu look together is quite like a mother and daughter. Our enemy is the Spirit Hall as a whole, not any particular individual. Should the girls go and talk to them? Just to build a better relationship with Chi Shu.
Shui Bing'er: I'll go.
Apart from Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er, who represented the Four Elements Academy, everyone else present and the forces they represented had irreconcilable blood feuds with the Spirit Hall.
"What are you looking at? Can I see?" Shui Bing'er walked to the sofa and sat down, with the little girl Chi Shu between her and Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue smiled and placed the terminal in Chi Shu's hand so that Shui Bing'er could see it clearly without having to tilt her head.
"It's a manuscript submitted by Xiaoshu to the school's broadcasting club. It's quite interesting. Look, this manuscript even talks about how to skip classes at school."
Shui Bing'er became interested. "Skipping class? Can you even talk about that on the radio?"
Chi Shu puffed out her cheeks. "Why not? Dad said the academy has only been open for a few years, and they haven't figured out all the procedures yet. They don't even know if the courses are reasonable. If students really feel that the courses taught by the teachers are not useful to them, what's wrong with skipping class? Students' opinions are opinions, and they should be taken seriously. Besides, this article is not teaching people to skip every class. They should choose courses based on their own situation."
Shui Bing'er suddenly realized, "I've learned something."
"You're a promising student!" Chi Shu nodded. "However, there are still problems with the word choice and sentence structure of this article. The title itself isn't very good. In an attempt to grab attention, it actually uses suggestive language like 'One Hundred Ways to Skip Class, Personally Tested and Effective'..."
Shui Bing'er thought for a moment and said, "How about changing it to elective courses?"
Chi Shu nodded, giving a thumbs-up. "That's an idea!"
And so, the three of them naturally began their discussion and comments.
When Chi Ping brought Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing back to the small building, the discussion had already become much more lively.
Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Xiao Wu, and Ning Fengzhi all joined in.
……
"Is this why you called us all over here, Brother Ping? The legacy of a god?" Ma Hongjun's eyes widened.
Everyone present focused their attention on Chi Ping's dangling, sea-colored triangle. Even Qian Renxue, who was holding Chi Ping's arm, was overlooked.
Chi Ping nodded. "I have experienced the power of the Sea God. It is a power that originates from and controls the sea, and it has little impact on one's spirit and will. With your talents, you are qualified to try to receive the inheritance."
When Chi Ping said the word "experience," the Vast Ocean Universe Cover spun noticeably faster, looking quite angry.
Ma Hongjun looked strange. "I won't ask Ping-ge how you came to this conclusion."
The older members of the family wore extremely solemn expressions. They had all generally understood or experienced the power of the gods, and knew how precious this opportunity was. Any resentment they had harbored because of Qian Renxue instantly vanished.
Dai Mubai glanced at the silent crowd and asked Chi Ping, "How can we determine if we are qualified to receive the inheritance?"
"It's simple, just a drop of blood. Mu Bai, would you like to go first?"
Dai Mubai nodded, chuckling, and said, "Let me, the boss, lead the way!"
Chi Ping nodded, and Chi Shu handed him a fine needle made of condensed mycelium. "Uncle Dai, use this."
Dai Mubai's face immediately fell. "Xiaoshu, can't you use a different way of addressing us? Call us 'brother'! You look like you're only twelve or thirteen years old, but you're calling us uncles who are barely in our early twenties. It makes us feel old!"
"The generational order can't be messed up!" Chi Shu said seriously, "Besides, I'm clearly not even a year old!"
"Alright, alright!" Dai Mubai didn't want to argue with Chi Shu anymore. He took the needle, pricked his fingertip to draw a drop of blood, and used his soul power to force it onto the stopped Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
There was no reaction; the blood slid directly onto the ground.
—His physique is good, but he doesn't quite fit the Light of the Sea God. Out of respect for you, I can't grant him more than seven Red-level trials.
Poseidon conveys memory to the pool.
"Did I... fail?"
Chi Ping nodded.
Dai Mubai shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.
Then there's Zhu Zhuqing.
—Not bad, but not suitable. Barely passed the seventh exam.
Oscar's blood lingered on the triangle for a while, but eventually fell away.
—The God of Food would definitely like this guy, but he's not suitable for the position of the God of the Sea. Seventh test.
Ning Rongrong.
—Inappropriate. Sixth test.
Ma Hongjun.
—Don't you know that water and fire are incompatible? It's not suitable! But the potential is good, seven tests.
Shui Bing'er.
—Insufficient potential. Fifth test.
When it was Tang San's turn, the blood drop was absorbed immediately, and then the triangular prism burrowed into Tang San's forehead.
Snapped!
The pond tree was grabbed, its mycelium intertwined, and it was suppressed in an instant.
Ma Hongjun became even more certain of his guess.
Chi Ping smiled and said, "Congratulations, Little San. The Sea God thinks you are capable of accepting his inheritance test. In a moment, you will recognize the master of this Vast Ocean Universe Cover."
Mu Bai, don't be discouraged. The inheritance of the Sea God is different from the inheritance of life. There is an assessment field called Sea God Island.
Besides the selected inheritors who can undergo the assessment, others can also go there to obtain opportunities.
"During the test just now, I communicated with the sea god here through my thoughts, and you will all receive excellent opportunities for assessment."
"Seagod Island?!" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in surprise.
"Teacher, you know?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
Yu Xiaogang didn't answer Tang San's question, but instead looked at Qian Renxue, "You should know about Seagod Island, right?"
Everyone looked at her.
Qian Renxue nodded and said, "The Spirit Hall once tried to subdue Seagod Island, but ultimately failed. That history was sealed away, and I don't know much about it. It wasn't until I talked with the Seagod that I learned it was the place where another god passed on his legacy."
Yu Xiaogang keenly noticed the suspicious point in Qian Renxue's words, and, remaining alert, asked calmly, "Are there other places on the continent where gods have inherited their legacy?"
Qian Renxue glanced at Yu Xiaogang, "The Angel God Trial inherited by the Spirit Hall, the Sea God Trial on Seagod Island, the trial ground of a certain Killing Path God that Ping speculates about, the place where one or two gods of the Ice and Fire Paths fell, and a god from the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"So many?"
Everyone was astonished.
Chi Ping spoke up, "The Sea God and the Angel God are confirmed divine lineages. The other three are my personal speculations, but I have indeed sensed their divine power."
Whether there is any divine inheritance involved, and whether there is any danger, remains unknown. I am not yet confident that I can emerge unscathed after exploring this area.
Qian Renxue continued, "I am about to return to the Spirit Hall to undergo the Angel God's assessment. If you are even a step too slow or fail to complete the assessment, then the Spirit Hall's unification of the continent will be an inevitable outcome."
The crowd, who had been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, instantly snapped back to reality.
Qian Renxue continued, "Ping will not participate in the power struggles between various forces. He doesn't care who rules the continent or whether they can rule it, but he will not let us die or be maimed."
At most, he could be taken away and confined if he was certain of dying. He had that ability.
This whole thing was actually quite a coincidence.
My identity has been exposed, so I have no choice but to return to the Spirit Hall to receive the Angel God's inheritance.
Pingshou received the inheritance of the Sea God, but he himself did not need it. The Sea God also hoped to have a successor, so he thought of giving it to you, and it just so happens that some of you can receive this inheritance.
The power of God is absolute.
Next comes the race of speed. Whoever becomes a god first will rule everything.
All the power, interpersonal relationships, and strategies of alliances that were once valued have lost their meaning in the face of divine power.
