Chapter 131 - 132 – Return to the Academy
With Zhou Sicheng’s speed, returning to Shrek Academy from the Extreme North in just three days was more than feasible.
Upon his return, he went straight to the Sea God’s Pavilion to visit Elder Mu.
Seeing Zhou Sicheng back safe and sound, Elder Mu’s face lit up with a warm smile. Sensing that Zhou Sicheng’s power had once again undergone a tremendous increase, that smile held even more satisfaction.
Elder Mu gently patted Zhou Sicheng on the shoulder. "Sicheng, have you already broken through to the Soul King realm and acquired your fifth soul ring?"
Although Zhou Sicheng had tried his best to hide it, without activating the Infinite Morph Core to conceal his soul power, someone of Elder Mu’s strength could naturally sense the advancement in Zhou Sicheng’s cultivation.
After all, regardless of how deep his soul power foundation was, a forty-something-rank cultivation that could rival a Soul Emperor was already exceptional. But there was still a noticeable difference between Zhou Sicheng at Rank 48 and at Rank 54.
Zhou Sicheng nodded slightly. "As expected, I can’t hide anything from your perceptive eyes. I was hoping to surprise you! Couldn’t you at least pretend not to know and let me astonish you a little?"
He put on a childish expression, causing Elder Mu to chuckle softly. The dreariness and monotony of recent days were dispelled by Zhou Sicheng’s playful demeanor.
Elder Mu smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn’t be able to sit still for long. But to advance from Rank 48 to Rank 50 in just a month... looks like you had another stroke of fortune."
Zhou Sicheng sat beside Elder Mu, gently holding his hand and massaging it with care.
He spoke softly, "I spent a few days at home, then took a little trip to the Extreme North."
