Chapter 81: The Sudden System Mission, The Fated Companion!

After double-checking to ensure they hadn't misheard, the shock and disbelief were clearly visible on everyone's face. Meanwhile, everyone else couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Foundation Establishment... early stage of Foundation Establishment? Does this mean that someone at the level of a Titled Douluo will be the teacher, supervisor, or deacon? Could it be that Lu Yunzhou has gone mad?

One must understand that a Soul Douluo in the Douluo Continent is already capable of establishing their own sect and founding a family. Yet, here in Lu Yunzhou's place? He couldn't even secure a basic position as a teacher.

For this reason, it was no wonder that Flender and the others were so stunned and surprised.

At first, Liu Erlong had thought that if the conditions for recruiting teachers at the Mysterious Immortal Sanctuary required a Soul King or Soul Emperor, she would still have the confidence to plead with Lu Yunzhou for an opportunity to allow her beloved "Little Gang" to join the Mysterious Immortal Sanctuary as a teacher.

But... now? When she heard that even the basic condition was a Titled Douluo, Liu Erlong's heart sank into complete despair.

Seeing the melancholy expression on Liu Erlong's face, Lu Yunzhou smiled and spoke up.

"The Ethereal Sanctuary's recruitment will begin in five days. If you are interested, Miss Liu, you can come take a look. Of course, it would be even better if Miss Liu could join us at the Ethereal Sanctuary."

"After all, what our Ethereal Sanctuary currently lacks is a talent like you, Miss Liu."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong regained her composure and responded, "Mr. Lu, your words are too kind. Erlong will certainly visit in the future."

After giving her response, Liu Erlong resolved to find Yu Xiaogang and take him to the Ethereal Sanctuary to become a student. While this might be a bit of a hardship for her beloved Xiaogang, Liu Erlong believed there was nothing she wouldn't sacrifice as long as he could become a cultivator.

Once their brief conversation concluded, Lu Yunzhou was about to lead Qian Renxue away when a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

He paused and muttered to himself, "I almost forgot something. Good thing I remembered."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue instinctively asked, "Mr. Lu... what important matter did you forget?"

With a faint smile, Lu Yunzhou didn't answer. Instead, he silently walked to Tang San's corpse and cast a spell.

"Fire Palm."

The moment the spell was cast, a scorching wave of heat shot from Lu Yunzhou's palm, and the flames, resembling an evil dragon, opened wide and directly devoured Tang San's body.

After completing the task, Lu Yunzhou spoke with satisfaction, "I almost forgot to turn him to ash. This kind of troublemaker shouldn't leave a corpse behind."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue double-checked to ensure she hadn't misunderstood and then couldn't help but comment with a wry smile, "Mr. Lu truly has... such refined tastes."

With that, Qian Renxue gave a somewhat awkward smile.

After Lu Yunzhou and Qian Renxue left, Ma Hongjun, who had been shaken by the whole event, couldn't help but exclaim in awe, "Good grief... This person is way too thorough... too... too much! He doesn't even leave a body, directly turning my Third Brother into ashes. This... this is true one-stop service."

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Dai Mubai teased, "What's wrong? Fatty, do you like it? If you do, big brother can arrange one for you."

Ma Hongjun quickly responded, "Get lost! I don't want that!"

Seeing the lighthearted exchange between Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but feel a sense of exasperation. It seemed these two young ones didn't understand the gravity of the situation!

Not only was Tang San dead, but there was also no corpse left behind. If Tang Hao found out, the Shrek Academy would be finished. As for him, Zhao Wuji, his fate could very well be one with no place to bury his body. For this reason, Zhao Wuji decided it was time to escape.

[Escape = Run away]

On the side, Flender's thoughts aligned with Zhao Wuji's. Shrek Academy could no longer stay; otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died!

Thus, the Shrek Academy, which had been established for more than twenty years, was destroyed overnight.

After dealing with Tang San, Lu Yunzhou, for reasons he didn't quite understand, felt a sense of relief and ease.

"Mr. Lu, we've already visited all the top forces in the Heaven Dou Empire. Now, should we go take a look at the Star Luo Empire?"

On the boat, Qian Renxue cautiously asked while pouring Lu Yunzhou a cup of warm, fragrant tea.

Shaking his head, Lu Yunzhou replied, "Visit the Star Luo Empire? Ridiculous. Do they even deserve it? If not for laying the groundwork for you, to help you better take control of the entire Heaven Dou Empire, I wouldn't have bothered visiting those lowly people."

After hearing this, Qian Renxue felt warmth in her heart.

She had thought that Lu Yunzhou's visits to the top powers of the Heaven Dou Empire were for the sake of the Ethereal Sanctuary, but she had never expected it was actually for her.

At this moment, Qian Renxue felt deeply moved. After all these years, only Lu Yunzhou had truly helped her, truly cared for her.

After a while, she unconsciously swallowed and, with a bright smile, spoke up, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

"It's nothing, just a small favor," Lu Yunzhou replied, a phrase he had said countless times. Yet, it seemed he had only ever said it to Qian Renxue.

Just as Lu Yunzhou finished speaking, a cold, emotionless, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in the air:

[Congratulations, Host, for triggering the side mission 'Fated Companion']

[Mission Name: Cultivation Alone, But Can One Not Have a Companion?]

[Mission Details: Marriage is one of life's most significant matters, and for a cultivator, the primary purpose of marriage is to find a companion to walk through life with.]

[Host Lu Yunzhou, having tempered his heart in the mortal world, should also experience marriage and find his fated companion. To encourage the Host, the system has issued this mission!]

[Mission Reward: Top-tier Defensive Artifact – Dragon Phoenix Harmony Armor (Super Artifact!)]

Before Lu Yunzhou could even react, Qian Renxue's voice rang out in his ears: "Mr. Lu, do you remember the gift I promised to give you?"
