126 Meeting (3)

Anping noticed Yun Ming and Yali's subtle movements. He realized what they were really after. As he had guessed, it was related to the strange phenomenon in the world.

They didn't say anything for a while. Anping didn't know what they were thinking, but he had no desire to speak. The private room was silent.

"Okay, you can withdraw your martial spirit." Yali saw Anping nod and take back his martial spirit, then said, "Your martial spirit doesn't seem to have anything special. Why can it harm people like that?"

"You must know that Tang Wulin's bloodline power hasn't recovered after so long. I thought it was some kind of life force. But now that I see your martial spirit, I know it's not."

Yali looked curious, and Anping explained, "That's the effect of the martial soul fusion skill. You know we don't like fighting. This was the first time we used that skill. We're not sure what it does."

Anping's words seemed to satisfy her. She was curious, but she couldn't ask more. They weren't her students, after all.

She had asked Anping to summon his martial spirit, but she couldn't sense any life force from him. She wanted to use his martial spirit to confirm if he was an evil soul master.

Gu Yuena didn't want to give her that chance. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, is that all you wanted to talk to us about?"

Yun Ming and Yali didn't know where this girl got her nerve. She always made them lose face.

Yun Ming let out a bit of his aura, trying to pressure Anping and Gu Yuena. But he was surprised to find that his aura seemed to vanish in the air, even though they were right in front of him.

He thought, these two have a secret. He said, "There was a phenomenon in the eastern sea area of Skysea City before. After that, no one could enter that area. We want to know if that phenomenon has anything to do with you."

"Don't bother denying it. I investigated that phenomenon myself. The bell tower that appeared then was exactly the same as the picture on your martial spirit's cover."

Anping didn't hide anything. He nodded and said, "That phenomenon was caused by me, but it has nothing to do with Shrek."

He admitted it so easily because Ditian and the others were next door. He wasn't afraid of Yun Ming attacking him. He also wanted to know Shrek Academy's stance on this.

Yun Ming and Yali expected Anping to change the subject or make an excuse. They didn't expect him to confess so openly.

Yun Ming was stunned for a moment, then said, "Can you tell me what that bell tower means? Is it the inheritance of gods? Or something else?"

Anping was slightly taken aback by Yun Ming's words. He said, "Inheritance of gods? Is that what you think? If so, I can tell you it's not."

Anping didn't think Yun Ming would guess that. But he understood why. Not everyone knew about the will of the planes.

Hearing Anping's claim that the bell tower was not a divine inheritance, Yun Ming felt a surge of disbelief. Yet he sensed no deceit in the other's words. He pondered for a moment before asking, "Am I right to assume that you can enter and exit that sea area at will?"

Anping nodded slightly, confirming Yun Ming's guess, but he had no idea what the latter was thinking.

"Can you bring others into that area as well?" Yun Ming asked eagerly. "If so, would you allow me to go in and have a look?"

Anping understood his intention at once. Yun Ming must have encountered some difficulties in creating his own godhood and wanted to access the god-level power that lurked in the sea. And Anping was right. Yun Ming had been an limit Douluo for decades, but he had never given up on improving himself despite the limitations of the times. Apart from Devil's Island, this was the first time he had encountered a power that surpassed his own understanding. He had a feeling that if he could explore that sea area, it would greatly benefit his cultivation.

But before Anping could reply, Gu Yuena interjected, "No, there's nothing worth seeing inside. It's just an abandoned desert island."

Gu Yuena had a different reason for rejecting Yun Ming's request. With her Silver Dragon King's spiritual power, she could sense the divinity within Yun Ming and knew that he was already on the verge of creating his own godhood. The only thing that prevented him from becoming a god was the suppression of the planet's will. If Yun Ming entered the sea area where the planet's will had no influence, he would soon ascend to godhood. And since she had confirmed that Shrek might be a potential enemy, she couldn't let Yun Ming achieve his goal.

However, what Gu Yuena didn't understand was why the planet's will was suppressing the Douluo Star and preventing it from producing gods. She knew that the current will of the planet was Tang Hao, the father of Poseidon and Shura God.

Not sure if Anping's contact information could be concealed from Yun Ming, Gu Yuena didn't share her speculation with him. She simply refused Yun Ming's request before Anping could speak.

Yun Ming was puzzled by Gu Yuena's rejection. He didn't think that his request was too unreasonable. He still wanted to try his luck. He had been stuck in his current state for too long and he felt a rare opportunity for a breakthrough. He didn't want to let it slip away.

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Don't be so hasty to turn me down. As long as you let me go in and see for myself, I'll grant you any wish. As long as it's not too excessive, I can fulfill it."

Hearing Yun Ming's persistent request, Anping frowned slightly and thought about the peculiarities of that sea area. After some reflection, he realized that there was nothing special about it, except for the functions of coordinates and private territory. The vitality of heaven and earth was not stronger than the outside world. He wondered why Yun Ming was so obsessed with it.

While Anping was lost in thought, Gu Yuena said with a smile, "What if I asked you to sever ties with Shrek and Tang Sect? Would you agree to that?"
