Chapter 31: Mu En
Yan Shaozhe chuckled and explained to Zhou Sichen, "This is one of the most core locations of Shrek Academy, carved with the power of the Golden Tree. Even I do not have the privilege to enter it freely."
These words alone were enough to prove how much importance the academy placed on Zhou Sichen.
Being brought to the Sea God's Pavilion on his second day at the academy showed just how highly they regarded him.
However, Zhou Sichen was already mentally prepared for this. His sister had become Mu En's final disciple a year ago, and his grandfather had been a childhood friend of Yan Shaozhe. These two factors alone were enough to place him on Shrek Academy's radar.
In addition, after spending a month with Bei Bei, who had come to understand his personality and character, he received a personal recommendation from the great-grandson of the Dragon God Douluo himself. Coupled with his extraordinary talent and the strength he had displayed last night and today, it was no surprise that Shrek Academy had taken such an interest in him.
And this was precisely Zhou Sichen's goal. Shrek Academy, the continent's number one academy, had existed for ten thousand years, its heritage unparalleled.
Even though he had the backing of the Zhou family and the support of Tianyuan City, the resources he had access to had gradually begun to fall short over the years.
Yet Zhou Sichen did not want to slow his pace. Given all these factors, Shrek Academy was a suitable choice.
Mu En was in his twilight years, with little life force remaining. Xuanzi's martial soul had flaws. Yan Shaozhe had personality shortcomings. And even among the next generation, Ma Xiaotao, despite her immense talent, also had defects in her martial soul.
To put it bluntly, Shrek Academy lacked a true successor.
Although his sister's arrival had given Mu En some hope, she was still family to him, and the talent he displayed now surpassed even hers.
