“Thank you for the ancestress’ blessing.” Damask Tulip sobbed as he conveyed his gratitude.

“The best choice you made was to follow my child and behave well.” The Ancient Life Tree’s voice while speaking to Damask Tulip sounded far from being as gentle as when it was speaking to Tang Wulin. It was filled with supreme overbearingness.

“Yes, ancestress.” Damask Tulip kowtowed with a gaze filled with devotion. He transformed back into a ball of pink radiance and fused into Tang Wulin’s body.

Tang Wulin was feeling happy for him too. He was feeling relieved for finally fulfilling the promise he made to the Seven Great Immortal Grasses when he was at Icefire Polarized Eyes back then. A portion of his stress had been taken off his mind.

The Ancient Life Tree’s gentle voice sounded again. “Don’t worry. They shall grow healthy and strong by my side. I’ll be able to turn this Sea God Lake into an even more unique place with their presence. You’ll see in the future.”

“Thank you.” Tang Wulin felt even more surprised. Every single one of the Seven Great Immortal Grasses had characteristics that belonged to themselves. They were all the most outstanding ones from the plant world. If their descendants could fuse a portion of their power into Sea God Lake in the future, it would be useful for the Shrek Academy without a doubt. Even though Tang Wulin had no idea what would happen by then, it was definitely a good thing.

The Ancient Life Tree smiled. “There is no need to be so polite at all times. You are the child that I’ve chosen. You are like my incarnation. What is the other matter?”

Tang Wulin said, “The other matter is related to opening up a small plane in the lake that I requested from you before. Can we begin that now?”

The Ancient Life Tree said, “Yes. I’m already prepared. However, you can only do this once. Moreover, you must seize control of the power in it. I can only help protect the outside. If there is any problem that happens on the inside, I’ll repel the entire plane at once. I cannot allow a portion of destructive power to affect the internal ecology of the Sea God Lake.”

“Sure. Don’t worry about that. We will certainly maintain its ecosystem properly.” Tang Wulin’s eyes were glimmering with excitement. This would be an extremely important matter for Shrek Academy. On the other hand, it would result in an immense elevation to the academy. In fact, Shrek Academy was never equipped with something like this in the past.”

“Hmm. Come over when you’re prepared. I’ve already chosen a spot over here. It’s on the west side of Sea God Lake. You will see a vortex when you’re there. By the time you are well prepared, you can begin the process there. With my protection, there’s nothing to worry about the safety issues.”

The Ancient Life Tree spoke in a very calm and confident manner. It was growing once again. Even though it could not compare to the past, it was already equipped with some of its original abilities. It was the source of life for the entire Douluo Continent after all. Even if it had only recovered some minor part of its abilities, it was still beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

“That’s awesome.” Tang Wulin was overjoyed. “I would like to represent Shrek and Tang Sect to express our gratitude to you. Thank you for protecting us over the years.”

“Go now,” said the Ancient Life Tree gently.

Tang Wulin bowed to express his gratitude once again before he urged his soul power and went towards the surface.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed that the massive Ancient Life Tree was changing slowly. A faintly discernible face was revealed. It smiled gently as it gazed after his departing silhouette. “Silly child, how can I possibly not protect Shrek and Tang Sect?”

Tang Wulin leaped onto the shore. He gently shook his body to expel the water. Then he walked back to Shrek Academy’s main academic building in excitement.

The main academy building had already taken its full form now. It was a grand building that recovered the original style of Shrek Academy’s main building. Thick and heavy construction material covered its surface. It appeared solemn and respectful. There was utterly no way a person could tell that the building was built in the short span of a few months.

Tang Wulin walked through the main door and entered a spacious hall. The circular-shaped hall accessed all directions with different passages leading to different areas of the main academic building. There was a huge soul screen of over five hundred inches right in front of him. The soul screen would occasionally display notices related to the academy. As the academy had yet to reopen officially, the soul screen had not formally begun to display anything.

Tang Wulin walked up a flight of stairs beside the screen and ascended to the teacher’s office located on the top level of the main academic building. He knocked on the door to an office located on the inner side of the floor.

“Please come in.” A cold voice was heard echoing out from the room.

Tang Wulin pushed open the door and entered. The spacious office was decorated in a simple and unsophisticated manner. It had been decorated according to Shrek Academy’s original style. Behind the thick solid wooden office table, Wu Zhangkong stood up and bowed in salutation towards Tang Wulin with his slim and tall figure. “Pavilion Master.”

Tang Wulin hastily said, “Teacher Wu, I’ve said this many times. You’re my teacher, how can you salute me?”

Wu Zhangkong spoke calmly, “These are the academy’s rules. You’re the Sea God’s Pavilion Master now. Your identity is different. This should be something acceptable to you. If you refuse to accept it, then it’s going to put me in a lot of trouble on the contrary.”

Tang Wulin felt helpless. He had real respect for Wu Zhangkong. In a sense, one could say that it was Wu Zhangkong who brought him along and helped step into the soul masters’ world.

Looking at Tang Wulin’s expression, Wu Zhangkong showed a smile that was rarely seen. “Judging from your excitement, you must have come bearing good news, right?”

As compared to the past, Tang Wulin was already a much steadier man now. If there was something that could make him excited, then it was something good.

Tang Wulin nodded “Yes! The Ancient Life Tree has already agreed to carry out our plan. Moreover, the tree has also chosen a place for us. When do you think we should start?”

Wu Zhangkong raised his eyebrows ever so slightly. “That’s excellent. We’re already prepared on our side since earlier. They’re supposed to withstand for another three months. There is still over two months of time now so we can complete it. I’m going to prepare at once while they are still in good condition. Of course, it will be better if we can do this as soon as possible.”

Tang Wulin smiled. “Sure. Then we shall do it at once. I’m going to invite the Excellencies first. I shall wait for you at the Sea God Lake.”

Wu Zhangkong nodded. Tang Wulin noticed that he was already clenching his fists.

Teacher Wu was designated as Shrek Academy’s outer court president now. Tang Wulin was well aware of the stress that he was enduring.

At the time of the great catastrophe, the rest of the teachers gave up their chance to live so he could continue to live. He had already completely devoted everything to Shrek now. During the process of reconstruction, he had considered every possible detail. He was bustling about every day while cultivating painstakingly at the same time. His cultivation was his rest time.

One or two gray hairs could already be seen in his long blue hair. Even though his appearance remained unchanged, one could see a tinge of sadness after living through the hardships in life.

However, his gaze had turned unusually deep and the elevation speed of his cultivation base was exceedingly swift. Tang Wulin wondered if he had undergone some special transformations. Sometimes, Tang Wulin found that he was incapable of seeing through Wu Zhangkong’s cultivation base despite his Spirit Domain spiritual power!

Two hours later.

Silhouettes arranged themselves in a straight line on the lakeside. They simultaneously bowed in salutation towards the center of the lake before them.

Tang Wulin stood in front while the lineup of people behind him was grand beyond description.

The two Limit Douluos from Shrek Academy including Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue and Holy Spirit Douluo Yali were present. Other than them, Tang Sect’s Heartless Douluo and Amorous Douluo were also here. There were also the two Limit Douluos, father Yuanen Zhentian and son Yuanen Tiandang that came from Titan Giant Ape Clan.

There were six great Limit Douluos in addition to the two Hyper Douluos, Wu Zhangkong and Tang Wulin. The lineup of people was incomparably powerful.

Only these eight were standing by the lakeside.

Long Yeyue turned to Yuanen Zhentian and smiled. “Thank you for your service.”
