However, she quickly found what she believed to be the answer.
"Becoming stronger is for the purpose of protecting oneself."
Xu Yuan listened to Na'er's words and fell into deep thought.
Is Na'er training to become stronger and protect herself?
What she needs to protect is not just herself, but also her ideals, spirit beasts, and humans.
Xu Yuan pondered the meaning of his becoming stronger.
"Only the strong have a voice."
Yun Ming appeared behind the two of them without them noticing.
He naturally noticed today that Xu Yuan's mental state was a bit off, and after paying a little attention, he realized that his disciple was actually troubled by this.
Only the strong have a voice; the weak are destined to be ruled.
Without strength, no matter how valuable something is, it is nothing more than a pawn that can be discarded at will by others; it is merely a high-value pawn.
Xu Yuan recalled his father.
Lacking innate soul power and strength, he somehow triggered the ancient east wind and was directly killed.
He didn't see his father's remains, and couldn't find anything. All he got was a warrant for his parents' betrayal of the Spirit Pagoda. In reality, everyone knew that the Spirit Pagoda had already dealt with them in secret.
Those who died were just two ordinary people.
That was Xu Yuan's initial motivation to become stronger, his first urgent need for power to investigate the truth.
Later, Xu Yuan himself became engrossed in cultivation, enjoying the process and pursuing the ultimate in his chosen path.
Only now has he begun to ponder the meaning of becoming stronger.
With Yun Ming's reminder, he also realized the true meaning of becoming stronger for himself.
Becoming stronger is about not having one's destiny controlled by others. If there are other purposes, then the purpose of becoming stronger is simply to become stronger, a pursuit driven by the instinct of life.
"You've figured it out?" Yun Ming nodded, looking at Xu Yuan's determined gaze, feeling very gratified.
"Teacher, what exactly constitutes strength?" Xu Yuan countered.
Yun Ming countered with a question.
"What do you consider to be powerful?"
"No one and nothing can threaten me; that is strength," Xu Yuan said without hesitation.
True strength lies in being fearless in the face of any threat.
Yun Ming shook his head and said, "How can we be fearless of all threats? There are always people stronger than you, and strength is only relative. Compared to those who are weaker than you, you are the stronger one. Even if you stand at the pinnacle of the continent, you will still find that you have the hope of becoming stronger. You just need to pursue it and explore it. Others are also pursuing it. Even the strongest in the past can be surpassed if they become complacent. So, no matter what level we are at, all we can do is pursue strength and surpass our current selves."
Why does it sound so philosophical as you talk about it?
Xu Yuan silently complained to himself, then steered the conversation back to the core issue.
"Is there anyone on the mainland who can threaten you, teacher?" he asked in surprise.
Yun Ming smiled but did not answer.
As the head of the Sea God Pavilion, he wields considerable authority and knows many secrets.
The moment Xu Yuan asked the question, those three things involuntarily came to mind.
He wasn't confident he could withstand any one of the three in a direct confrontation.
Of course, Yunming was confident that he could dodge it, or at least survive in the epicenter of the explosion.
However, it must still be admitted that the word "god-killing" in the God-Killing Missile is not an exaggeration. If he were to actually encounter it, Yun Ming would not be foolish enough to take it head-on. With his level of cultivation, he would definitely be able to sense the intense sense of crisis in advance and then avoid its explosive core.
Xu Yuan looked at Yun Ming's expression, wondering what his teacher was thinking.
However, he has already given us this much warning, so he should be somewhat wary of the God-Slaying Missile, right?
"Huh? There's something on the mainland that can threaten Teacher?" Na'er was shocked, looking like she couldn't accept it. It seemed that the image of her invincible teacher in her heart had collapsed.
Yun Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, patted Na'er's head, and said gently, "It's just an inanimate object. Na'er needs to understand that a missile that can't hit its target, no matter how powerful it is, is just a number."
Xu Yuan also raised an eyebrow.
Na'er is such a great wingman!
"But what if we force the target to suffer the harm?"
"Hmm?" Yun Ming frowned and looked at Xu Yuan.
What do you mean?
"Didn't we have Soul Masters ten thousand years ago? It's said that Soul Masters were really stupid in battle back then, using only Soul Guidance Cannons. But they must have had a way to force the enemy to take their cannonballs head-on, right?"
Artillery shells can be used to bombard, lock onto, and even block movement in advance.
However, this requires extremely high combat skills, and the Soul Masters of ten thousand years ago did not have the mindset for combat.
"Who can force the teacher?" Na'er put her hands on her hips, looked at Xu Yuan, and said sweetly, "The teacher is the best in the world. We can't avoid it, but if the teacher wants to avoid it, he can just do so at will!"
After saying that, Na'er blinked and then secretly glanced at Yun Ming.
It seems that what I just said makes a lot of sense.
We can't escape it.
Yun Ming's gaze also changed from gentle to sharp.
What Na'er said does make sense.
If that god-slaying missile were to land at Shrek Academy...
"The Federation shouldn't be this degenerate."
Yun Ming still tends to trust the minds of the Federation's high-ranking officials.
Of course, while I have faith, I still need to be somewhat cautious.
When the God-Slaying Missile was first created, the then-Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, as well as various major forces such as Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, were all terrified.
However, with the God-Slaying Missiles under tight control and Shrek's own cleanup efforts, Shrek gradually forgot about the threat.
Now that he's been reminded, Yunming can't afford to take it lightly.
He felt it.
At his level, he could already sense some subtle changes.
He hadn't been warned before, but now that Xu Yuan and Na'er had laid the threat right in front of him and made him see it, he could naturally feel it too. The threat of this god-killing missile was not just theoretical.
"The God-Slaying Missile... could it have malfunctioned?"
As Yun Ming pondered, he came to Na'er's side, reached out and touched her head, and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, your teacher won't let that kind of thing happen to you."
Xu Yuan said that Na'er deserves first-class merit today.
Leaving his troubles to the teacher, he took Na'er away from Poseidon Island and feasted at a barbecue stall not far from the entrance of the outer courtyard, with Xu Yuan treating them.
Poseidon Pavilion.
Yun Ming convened a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.
For a powerful person like him, the intuition he possessed was something he could trust completely.
There is no such thing as unfounded panic.
"Sect Master, isn't it time to hold the Sea God Pavilion meeting as usual?"
"What important matter warrants this meeting?"
"Could it be that they've decided on the members of the Shrek Seven Devils?"
Zhuoshi and the others looked at Yunming, whose expression was calm, and guessed the reason for this Sea God Pavilion meeting.
They all knew of Xu Yuan's existence, and naturally they also knew that this generation would inevitably produce the Shrek Seven Devils, and Xu Yuan would be the leader of those seven!
I just recovered from staying up past 5 AM. My wrist was sore yesterday, so I couldn't take any supplements.
I've kept track of the chapters I owe. It's nine days in total, two chapters short each day, which is eighteen chapters! Oh my god, I have to start making up for it tonight!

As the elders speculated, Yun Ming spoke up.
"Gentlemen, do you all remember those three god-slaying missiles?"
His words caught the elders, who had been speculating in other directions, off guard.
what?
God-killing missile.
Soon, the elders all remembered what the God-Slaying Missile was.
"Master, are you referring to the three level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells of the Federation?" Cai Yue'er asked in surprise.
She thought this Sea God Pavilion meeting was to discuss the selection of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils.
"Yun Ming, why are you bringing this up?"
