Su Mo was too lazy to argue with Song Yun about this anymore, so she directly asked about the award collection time.
"Now you can!"
Song Yun answered without any hesitation.
"Then let's set off now!"
After Su Mo finished speaking, she took the lead and walked towards the door.
Mark the Flying Thunder God symbol as soon as possible, and get it over with quickly!
……
After leaving the Ragnar Hotel, Su Mo and Song Yun headed straight for the Tianhai Treasure Vault.
The Tianhai Treasure Vault is located 200 meters underground from the Tianhai Municipal Government. The entire vault is not only constructed from tens of meters thick tungsten steel, but also has an extremely complex soul-guiding array laid out on it.
It is said that when the Tianhai Treasure Vault was built, the Tianhai Alliance invited a Super Douluo to test its security. As a result, the Super Douluo's full-force attack failed to budge it in the slightest.
Of course, Su Mo thought this was just a gimmick.
Given the stinginess of the Tianhai Alliance, no one would believe they would invite a Super Douluo to test their security.
When Su Mo and Song Yun passed through layers of security and arrived at the gate of Tianhai Treasure Vault, there were already people waiting there at the entrance.
"Teacher Shui, this is student Su Mo!"
Song Yun jogged over and quickly came to the front of the crowd to introduce Su Mo to everyone.
The elderly man in the Tang suit, whom Song Yun called Old Man Shui, stroked his white beard and looked at Su Mo with great emotion, saying, "I never thought that our Tianhai Alliance would one day be able to cultivate a student who could defeat the Shrek Academy disciples!"
"Come with me, I'll take you to the treasure vault to retrieve something!"
After saying that, Elder Shui turned around and poured his soul power into the control panel on the gate.
The soul-guided defense array engraved on the gate of the Heavenly Sea Treasure Vault was immediately activated, and countless light blue patterns appeared on the metal gate, which slowly opened to both sides.
"Although Song Yun has probably already told you this on the way here, I still have to remind you that you can only take five items from the treasure vault."
"Don't even think about taking more, or you'll be in big trouble if I catch you!"
On the way to the treasure vault, Elder Shui kept warning Su Mo.
For some reason, from the moment Su Mo met this old man, he felt that the other party did not like him very much and had a faint hostility towards him.
Although he hid it well, he wasn't some naive and inexperienced young man.
However, since he didn't deliberately make things difficult for her, Su Mo didn't bother to argue.
After passing through a long, narrow tunnel, the true face of the Tianhai Treasure Vault finally appeared before Su Mo.
All the treasures in Tianhai Treasury are displayed and stored separately, ranging from metals to exotic flowers and fruits.
With just a cursory glance, Su Mo discovered a number of valuable items, such as the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Heart Fruit, the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass, the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, the Abyss Sea Sinking Crystal, and other top-tier spiritual treasures rarely found on the continent.
Of course, what intrigued Su Mo the most was the deepest part of the treasure vault, where a diamond-shaped fragment with the word "Unknown" written on its nameplate.
For some reason, after seeing this fragment, Su Mo felt an inexplicable urge to possess it.
"what is this?"
Su Mo suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked curiously.
"do not know!"
Shui Lao said expressionlessly, "The Tianhai Alliance has studied this thing for a long time, and even invited people from the Blacksmith Association to study it, but they all came up empty-handed."
"The only thing I know is that this thing is very sturdy, and even my full-force attack cannot budge it in the slightest."
Shui Lao's remarks left Su Mo speechless. What could a Soul Douluo's full-force attack possibly prove?
However, Su Mo was also very curious as to why this thing could cause the Blacksmith Association to fail.
"I want this!"
Without thinking much, Su Mo pointed to the fragments and asked Elder Shui to take them out for him.
"Row!"
Mr. Shui readily agreed without the slightest hesitation.
If it were someone else choosing this item, he would definitely try to dissuade them and make them choose something more useful.
But since Su Mo became famous by stepping on Shrek Academy, it was already quite good that he, as a graduate of Shrek Academy, didn't publicly give Su Mo a hard time.
"This thing is... a dimensional fragment?"
Chapter 148 The Invitation from Tianhai Academy
But Su Mo quickly dismissed the idea.
As the chosen one of the planes in Douluo Continent, Su Mo has an almost instinctive affinity for the primordial energy of the plane.
There was something about this dark, unremarkable fragment that was indeed attractive to me.
But for some reason, after actually touching the fragment, I felt an extremely strange sensation.
It felt like an apple tree suddenly sprouting watermelons—extremely discordant.
Seeing Su Mo playing with the fragment in his hand with a hesitant expression, Elder Shui thought Su Mo was about to change his mind, so he quickly reminded him, "Although the Tianhai Alliance has not been able to figure out the specific use of this thing, the Blacksmith Association said that this thing is definitely not an ordinary item."
"..."
Su Mo didn't speak, but instead glanced thoughtfully at Elder Shui.
When Su Mo looked at him like that, a hint of guilt flashed across Elder Shui's face. He then forced himself to remain calm and said, "Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can take this and ask me later."
Old Shui's answer left Su Mo speechless; he was really treating him like a child.
The people in the Blacksmiths' Association never gave a low evaluation of something they weren't sure about; otherwise, they would be contradicting themselves.
However, considering how special this thing was, Su Mo ultimately decided to take the suspected fragment of the plane's origin into his possession.
Seeing that Su Mo had put the fragments away, Elder Shui was overjoyed.
Although he couldn't directly attack Su Mo to avenge Shrek Academy.
However, by misleading Su Mo and causing him to waste a chance to choose a treasure, he indirectly vented Shrek's anger.
The Blacksmith Association did indeed give this fragment an excellent evaluation, but even Duan Xuan, the president of the Tianhai City Blacksmith Association, was unable to process it.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be here.
Su Mo ignored the old man's smugness and left the Tianhai Treasure Vault satisfied after selecting a few more spiritual items that Gu Yue and the others might need.
As the metal doors of the Heavenly Sea Treasure Vault slowly closed, Su Mo's trip to the Heavenly Sea Treasure Vault officially came to an end.
But what no one noticed was that the moment Su Mo stepped out of the Tianhai Treasure Vault, a dense array of wriggling, ant-like magical runes quietly spread out from beneath Su Mo's feet, then quickly disappeared into the ground.
What Su Mo inscribed was none other than the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The Flying Thunder God Technique, invented by the most sinister ninja in the entire Naruto series, is an extremely disgusting space-time ninjutsu.
It has no cooldown time and no distance limit.
As long as the mark exists, the caster can instantly traverse space to reach the target.
What's even more disgusting is that the Flying Thunder God's mark will never disappear.
Once marked, the mark will stay with the marked person for life unless they amputate their arm to remove the marked part from their body.
……
After leaving Tianhai Treasure Vault, Su Mo declined Song Yun's offer of company and returned directly to the Ragnar Hotel.
As soon as Su Mo entered the hotel lobby, she found it packed with people.
Su Mo glanced at the crowd and saw that, in addition to the people from Donghai Academy, there was also Long Huantian, the dean of Tianhai Academy, Zhang Zhenpeng, the dean of Hailu Academy, as well as the mayor and councilors of Tianhai City.
The moment these people saw Su Mo appear, they were like hungry wolves eyeing a piece of meat, their eyes gleaming with an astonishing light.
Long Huantian strode up to Su Mo and said in a warm and friendly manner, "Hello, Su Mo. I am Long Huantian, the dean of Tianhai Academy."
"On behalf of Tianhai College, I extend an invitation to you, hoping that you will join our college."
"Hey, Dean Long, aren't you going too far?"
Long Hengxu, standing in the crowd, frowned and was about to step forward to argue when he was stopped by Zhang Zhenpeng, the dean of the Hailu Academy.
Faced with Zhang Zhenpeng's subtle but palpable pressure, Long Hengxu could only stare blankly, shouting from the spot:
"Su Mo! Don't agree to him!"
"What he can give you, our academy can give you double!"
Hearing Long Hengxu promise Su Mo the reward, Long Huantian was speechless. No wonder Donghai Academy was always at the bottom in the Tianhai Grand Competition.
The rewards given to a peerless genius like Su Mo were surprisingly stingy.
But this is good, the more stingy Donghai Academy is, the more it reflects the magnanimity of Tianhai Academy.
"Su Mo, it would be a waste of your talent to stay at Donghai Academy."
"As long as you are willing to join our Tianhai Academy, all the cultivation resources of Tianhai Academy and the entire Tianhai City will be open to you."
"Whatever you need, we will do our best to meet your needs!"
Almost the instant Long Huantian finished speaking, the mayor of Tianhai City stepped forward and solemnly said, "Dean Long is right! As long as you, Su Mo, nod your head, all the resources of Tianhai City and Tianhai Academy will be open to you!"
"!!!"
Upon hearing the promises made jointly by Long Huantian and the mayor of Tianhai, the entire venue fell silent instantly.
Even Zhang Zhenpeng, the dean of the Maritime Academy who came with Long Huantian, showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Although he had expected Tianhai Academy to offer generous terms, he did not expect them to be this generous.
Long Huantian was clearly going to use the power of the entire Tianhai City to support Su Mo.
Long Hengxu, who was stopped, felt utterly hopeless.
The conditions offered by Long Huantian were simply too generous; even if he offered the same price, it would be to no avail.
Compared to Tianhai City, everything that Donghai City was proud of was utterly crushed.
"I appreciate your kind offer, but Donghai Academy is still a better fit for me!"
