Chapter 532 - Return (1/2)

Zhen Hua cut Tang Wulin off, “The trouble you were involved in this time was due to me, so I got you that ring as a gift in apology. It has your mecha inside.”

Tang Wulin’s jaw dropped. A storage ring with the capacity necessary for a mecha was a treasure! The number of rings like this found throughout Douluo could likely be counted on his fingers alone!

“Uncle-master, this is too much. I can’t accept this.” Tang Wulin shrunk into his seat, shell-shocked.

Zhen Hua clenched his jaw. “Enough of that. Just take it.”

Tang Wulin’s reluctance instantly disappeared and he snickered. “Well, if you insist, I’ll happily accept!”

A smile couldn’t help but break through Zhen Hua’s stern expression. “You greedy kid. Hurry up and go to class now.”

Tang Wulin beamed, then he and Gu Yue got off the car and were on their way. The two ran, anxious to not be any later than they already were.

As Zhen Hua watched them go, his face settled back into calmness. He glanced at the driver and said, “Take me to the inner court.”

The HAF car ascended and flew straight into the depths of Shrek Academy. None barred their way, and they arrived in a minute.

Zhen Hua stepped out of the car and strode through the gates into the inner court. Although he could go where he pleased for the majority of Douluo with his HAF car, Shrek Academy’s inner court was an exception. Even if only out of respect, he had to disembark and walk to his final destination.

Zhen Hua took in the fresh air as he walked to Sea God’s Island. When he reached the lake, he sped up, flickers of movement across the surface of the water and he reached the island. Then he stopped and waited.

A few moments later, Zhuo Shi arrived and gave Zhen Hua a nod of acknowledgement. “Let’s go. The Pavilion Master is waiting for you.”

Zhuo Shi in the lead, the two headed for the center of the island. A large wooden house sat at the island’s core, leaning against a giant tree. This was the heart of Sea God’s Island and Shrek Academy. This golden house was Sea God’s Pavilion!

The highest order of authority in Shrek Academy laid with the Master of Sea God’s Pavilion. The Pavilion Master was one of the most powerful and influential people in the world. The Federation couldn’t even decide on policies without consulting him. The man’s strength simply could not be ignored.

The interior of the house was simple and rustic, wholly unexpected of the location of the greatest power on Douluo. A long wooden table sat in the center, eight people seated on either sides of it and one person at the head. Nine in total.

Zhuo Shi gestured for Zhen Hua to go on. Without any hesitation, Zhen Hua went and stood by his seat at the end of the table. Zhuo Shi followed, taking the fourth seat from the head.

Tang Wulin would be astonished to see who led this party of influential figures at the head of the table. It was the young man who had been enjoying a pink-filled time with the Holy Spirit Douluo on the swing. He was handsome with a warm smile and looked to be merely in his late twenties. All those present looked at him with reverent eyes.

Yali sat on the man’s right, the very first seat. On his other side was a tall elderly man with a face pale as silver.

Feng Wuyu was present as well, and sat across from Zhuo Shi. One seat down from him was Elder Cai.

All those present were the pillars of Shrek Academy, the elders of Sea God’s Pavilion. At the head of the table was their leader, the Pavilion Master.
