The cla.s.s leader of the graduating cla.s.s from Shrek Academy’s outer court, who was destined to enter the inner court, had left a deep impression on Yu Muchen today, especially with the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar True G.o.d-level powerhouse.

“h.e.l.lo, General Yu,” Lan Xuanyu greeted him with a nod.

“Did you come to report something that you didn’t mention earlier?” Yu Muchen gestured for him to sit down.

Lan Xuanyu sat opposite him, nodded, and said, “Yes, there are some matters that I couldn’t mention in front of Elder Yi. So I came to see you after settling down.”

“Oh? Things that couldn’t be said in front of Elder Yi?” Yu Muchen was a bit surprised. He was well-acquainted with Shrek Academy and knew that its students had deep, unbreakable bonds with the Academy. There had never been a case where a student from Shrek Academy did something to harm the inst.i.tution. Yet, this young man, who was obviously being groomed by Shrek, seemed to have something to hide from the Academy. This intrigued him greatly.

Lan Xuanyu nodded, “Yes. Teacher Nana is actually someone affiliated with the War G.o.d Temple.”

He knew that to capture the interest of someone at Yu Muchen’s level, he had to get straight to the point and mention something compelling.

“Really?” Yu Muchen was taken aback. “The teacher who saved you? Isn’t she your teacher? How could she be from the War G.o.d Temple? I wasn’t aware of this.”

According to what Lan Xuanyu had previously reported, his teacher should also be at the True G.o.d level. Yu Muchen hadn’t had the chance to investigate her background because Lan Xuanyu’s earlier reports focused mainly on the Dragon Source Crystals and didn’t mention Nana. It was only during today’s questioning that Nana was brought up.

Seeing Yu Muchen’s reaction, Lan Xuanyu realized that he hadn’t investigated Teacher Nana yet, which was good news for him. He quickly said, “Teacher Nana isn’t a teacher at Shrek Academy. She was my teacher back when I was on Heaven Duo Planet. So, to be precise, she is my personal teacher. After I came to Shrek to study, she went to teach at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and at that time, she was accompanied by War G.o.d An Peijiu from the War G.o.d Temple. Therefore, although I’m not completely certain, Teacher Nana should be part of the War G.o.d Temple.”

Yu Muchen was now genuinely astonished. He gestured for Lan Xuanyu to wait a moment and then immediately pressed a b.u.t.ton to open a communication line.

“Get me in touch with An Peijiu.”

It didn’t take long for a voice to come from the other end, “Boss Yu, what’s up?” Judging by the casual tone, it was clear that An Peijiu had a good relations.h.i.+p with Yu Muchen.

“Pei, I need to ask you something. Do you know someone named Nana?” Yu Muchen asked seriously.

“Nana? How do you know about her? Is it because she’s pretty? Hmph, you better be careful or I’ll tell Second Sister.” An Peijiu said with a hint of mischief.

Yu Muchen’s lips twitched as he listened. Lan Xuanyu was still sitting next to him, and he was on speakerphone with An Peijiu.

“Cut the nonsense, tell me what you know. This is important.”

Hearing the seriousness in his tone, An Peijiu didn’t dare to fool around anymore. “Did something happen to Nana? She’s been teaching at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Mentor Academy and hasn’t changed much over the years. Her situation is quite special, and her information is cla.s.sified at the highest level. On our side, it’s directly handled by the Temple Master. According to protocol, boss Yu, you shouldn’t even know this. You’ll need the Temple Master’s approval.”

“Hmm?” Yu Muchen was intrigued by her words.

“In this case, get the Temple Master’s approval for a three-way call. This matter is very important.”

“Alright, I’ll ask right away.” An Peijiu hurriedly agreed, not daring to delay.

After ending the call, Yu Muchen looked at Lan Xuanyu and said, “As this involves internal secrets of the War G.o.d Temple, you should wait outside for a bit. I’ll call you in afterwards.”

“Okay.” Lan Xuanyu understood that Yu Muchen was going to investigate Nana’s ident.i.ty.

Lan Xuanyu waited outside for more than an hour. Just as he was beginning to grow increasingly anxious, Yu Muchen’s voice called him back into the room.

Re-entering Yu Muchen’s office, Lan Xuanyu steadied himself. Anxiousness wouldn’t solve the problem; he needed to stay calm to better persuade the Head War G.o.d.

Yu Muchen’s expression was complex. From An Peijiu, he learned about Nana’s origins. She was someone who had been revived from the inside of a block of ice at least a thousand years old. However, scientists found no record of such a G.o.d-level expert in the past three thousand years. Since her revival, she had been very discreet, only intervening once to save someone – and that was Lan Xuanyu and his mother.

“Tell me about your connection with Nana,” Yu Muchen asked.

Lan Xuanyu nodded, having nothing to hide. He recounted how he met Nana in a mall, became her disciple, progressed under her guidance, and eventually got into Shrek Academy. Later on, Nana moved to the Mother Planet and frequently came to mentor him.

Yu Muchen nodded secretly. What Lan Xuanyu said matched the information the War G.o.d Temple had gathered, almost perfectly. This meant that Nana, likely a G.o.d-level expert, had always been under the Temple’s surveillance. While she didn’t truly belong to the War G.o.d Temple, she wasn’t affiliated with any other faction either, maintaining a closer relations.h.i.+p with the Temple.

Such a powerful figure, a 110-level expert, was rare even among the entire Federation’s population. If she was truly still alive, rescuing her would be immensely valuable…

Thinking of this, Yu Muchen felt a surge of excitement. He looked at Lan Xuanyu and asked, “You are the cla.s.s leader of Shrek Academy’s outer court graduating cla.s.s. After graduation, what are your plans? Do you intend to get into the inner court?”

Lan Xuanyu was slightly taken aback, suspecting something, but still nodded, “I think I can make it.”

Yu Muchen narrowed his eyes slightly, “Do you have other plans? For instance, how about joining our War G.o.d Temple? The War G.o.d Temple is also in dire need of talent. With your abilities, you could potentially access more resources with us than at Shrek. After all, the War G.o.d Temple is directly under the leaders.h.i.+p of the Federation.”

From this question, Lan Xuanyu vaguely guessed that the Head War G.o.d intended to recruit him. Whether asking about Nana or his own plans, it was clearly for the benefit of the War G.o.d Temple. Mobilizing a mothers.h.i.+p’s resources required a significant investment, and for the military to successfully convince the Federation, they would certainly need a strong bargaining chip. Just Nana’s achievements might not be enough to convince the Federation, as there was no guarantee humans could survive on a star’s surface. This uncertainty could be a potential convenient excuse to reject the request.

Therefore, Lan Xuanyu didn’t immediately decline Yu Muchen’s invitation. He paused, thinking quickly, and then made a decision.

“General Yu, thank you very much for your offer. The War G.o.d Temple is indeed a place I admire. When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a wars.h.i.+p commander. Although I also aspire to be a powerful individual, it’s hard to achieve both goals simultaneously. So, when I entered the academy, I chose to enter the Star Wars Command Department.”

“Oh? You want to be a wars.h.i.+p commander? Doesn’t Shrek Academy have limited opportunities in that area? If that’s the case, joining our War G.o.d Temple would indeed be a better choice. Although we value individual strength, entering the military through the War G.o.d Temple would accelerate your progress and make it easier to achieve your dream,” Yu Muchen said with a smile.
