Yu Muchen smiled contentedly and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down first. If we can really rescue your teacher, I have a suggestion for you. With your talent, there's indeed much to learn at Shrek Academy's inner court, but there's no need to rush. Eighteen is the best age to serve in the military. I suggest you go to the front lines and experience what it's like to be an actual warship commander, to truly feel the interstellar battlefield. One to three years would be enough. This would help you build your influence in the military and accumulate merit at the same time, as well as give you valuable experience. This is not a mandatory requirement, just a suggestion. I believe that after being tempered on the front lines, you will be able to grow even faster."

"Moreover, through this experience, you should also realize the scope of the threat posed by the Dragon Horse Galaxy. Once we solve the problem with the Dragon Source Crystals, war with the Dragon Horse Galaxy will be inevitable. You already have a deep-seated enmity with them. This is a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with them, laying the foundation for your growth. And eventually, when you are strong enough, you can deal with them properly. This war may last a very long time."

"Very well, I will seriously consider your suggestion," Lan Xuanyu nodded, then asked, "General Yu, if we go to the surface of a star to rescue Teacher Nana, do you have any advice?"

Yu Muchen squinted his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "The more god-level powerhouses, the better. In fact, the star probes carried by planetary-class motherships can only detect within a range of about ten kilometers from the star's surface. Gravity is not the main issue; a mothership's gravity chain is strong enough. The more significant threat is the temperature."

"The temperature on the star's surface is not constant. In fact, it fluctuates with the surface's unstable movements. One moment it might be a few thousand degrees, and the next, with a surface surge, it could reach tens of thousands of degrees. Star probes cannot get too close; otherwise, they will quickly be damaged. Therefore, the soul power of god-level powerhouses is very useful in this situation, as they can protect the star probes, allowing them to get closer to the star's surface."

"Moreover, when we approach the star's surface, someone still needs to rescue her. If she is indeed alive, saving her will be highly risky. If there is a stellar energy burst, they might fall. This task is not for ordinary god-level powerhouses; it requires a true god-level powerhouse to have a better chance of staying on the star's surface for a while to save her while also countering the gravity to bring her back."

"For those of us at this level, the star's gravity is not that terrifying. Your teacher must have been seriously injured and was sucked in while saving you. But your judgment is possible; if she is skilled in fire element control, a true god-level fire element master could withstand temperatures close to the star's surface. Therefore, she might not be dead and could maintain herself for some time. The problem now is we don’t know how severe her injuries are. Typically, if seriously injured and then falling into a star, survival chances are slim, unless she had protective treasures or a six-word battle armor."

Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, "Teacher Nana should have a treasure that can protect her." The Dragon God Core was certainly such a treasure, as the Treasure-Seeking Beast had informed him, but this was something he obviously couldn't reveal.

"If that's the case, we should have a decent chance. It's worth a try," Yu Muchen nodded. "Alright, I know you're anxious about the situation. Go back for now, and I'll head straight to the military department. I'll negotiate as quickly as possible to get the Federation's approval to rescue your teacher. Your task now is to return to Shrek Academy and gather more god-level powerhouses to join us on this mission."

"Yes. Thank you, General Yu." Lan Xuanyu's eyes reddened slightly. The opportunity to rescue Teacher Nana had finally come.

While Lan Xuanyu and Yu Muchen were discussing, a visitor had arrived at Lan Xuanyu's dormitory.

Tang Le was surprised when he heard the knock on the door, as Lan Xuanyu didn't need to knock when he returned, and generally, he didn't have visitors.

When he opened the dormitory door, he saw a woman wearing a hat with a veil covering her face.

He was slightly taken aback because he recognized her. During his concert at Shrek Academy, she had been in the audience, sitting in the very front row. It was evident to him that she was a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy.

"May I come in?" a pleasant female voice asked.

"Please do." Tang Le stepped back, allowing her to enter.

The woman walked in slowly, looked around the living room, and nodded, "The academy dormitories are quite decent, aren't they?"

Tang Le nodded, "Indeed they are."

The woman sighed softly, "When you were here back then, the academy was far from its current scale."

"Back then?" Tang Le's body trembled, "You knew me from back then?"

The woman said calmly, "If I didn't know you, do you think any outsider could freely enter Shrek and come and go as they please? Even the Federation Speaker or the War God Hall Master doesn't have that privilege. You can do so because you inherently belong to Shrek. This is your place."

Tang Le frowned, "You're saying I used to be part of Shrek Academy?" Instinctively, he recalled the statue in Shrek City.

The woman did not respond, but instead pulled over a chair and sat down.

"You're here this time because of Nana, aren't you? I've already heard about the situation. You want to save her?" the woman said lightly.

"Yes. She is Xuanyu's teacher, and I can barely count as one too. Xuanyu is very anxious about it, so I must help him. Besides, I seem to have known her before, she looks familiar to me, and it's a very strong impression that deeply affects me. I have a feeling that I must save her."

"Is that so?" The woman's voice had a peculiar tone. "Yes, you indeed must save her. In the past, it was even more so. Having finally forgotten, why bring it back up? If you really save her, you might remember the past, are you fine with that?"

Tang Le frowned slightly. "What are you trying to say?"

The woman shook her head. "What if I don't let you save her?"

"Not let me? Why?" Tang Le's voice rose a few notches.

The woman shook her head again. "If I don't want it, no one in this world can help you. I can stop the Federation. I can stop all efforts to rescue her."

Tang Le's eyes turned cold, and faint golden light began to emanate from him. He said coldly, "I can sense that you should be a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy. Isn't Shrek Academy a neutral and kind place? Why are you targeting Nana? Did she offend you?"

"Offend me? Of course, she offended me. If it weren't for her…" The woman's voice trailed off here. She let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Never mind, even without her, it probably wouldn't have been my turn. I'm just here to vent. Shrek will help Xuanyu. After all, he is your…"

At this point, she suddenly paused, stood up, faced Tang Le, and slowly took off her hat.

Tang Le's pupils instantly contracted, staring blankly at the face in front of him.

"Do you still recognize me?" the woman said softly.

It was an extremely beautiful face, with long fiery red hair cascading down her back. But what was noticeable was that from her neck down, she was covered in pink metal armor that extended all the way down.
