Chapter 737: Really Need Your Help
Carrying special products from Giant Ring Star and several bottles of Kidney Treasure Pills produced by elder sister, Lin Shen went to see Coach Mu and hinted to him that there might be a possibility of an alien race invading their mother planet, advising him to make preparations early and arrange his family's safety.
The reason he did not tell Coach Mu the details directly was that if the information leaked out now, it might be discovered by people from the Ultra-Burn Tribe, and who knows what accidents might occur then.
Letting other people know actually wouldn't serve much purpose, as there were very few Nirvana Beings among the major families on the mother planet, and the vast majority who could leave had already left; there were hardly any people who could help.
"Aliens have discovered a teleporter to our mother planet?" Coach Mu immediately realized something, his face changed drastically, and he stood up, saying, "I'll go notify everyone to get ready to jointly resist the alien invasion."
"I don't know anything," Lin Shen said indifferently.
Seeing Lin Shen's attitude, Coach Mu suddenly paused, then sat down despondently and chuckled bitterly, "Right, there aren't any real powerhouses left on the mother planet anyway. Those who could leave have all left. If there's really an alien invasion, whether we can resist together or not doesn't make much difference. Besides, each of the major families has their own agenda. Perhaps they might even have an adverse reaction. Let it be; don't let it affect your plans."
"Coach, rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, I'll do my utmost to protect the safety of our mother planet," Lin Shen comforted.
"With your words, I consider our acquaintance not to have been in vain," Coach Mu shook his head and said, "But listen to me, if the mother planet can be defended, then defend it; if it can't be defended, abandon it. As long as people are alive, anywhere can be home. If people are gone, what's the use of keeping a broken place?"
"It's easy to choose, but hard to be at peace," Lin Shen sighed.

"Haha, that's because your skin isn't thick enough yet; you need to practice more and learn from the people at Wanderer Base," the coach laughed.
"Has something bizarre happened with Wanderer Base?" Lin Shen was somewhat puzzled.
Although he had had some disputes with Wanderer Base in the past, after leaving the mother planet, he hadn't thought about this matter and had not troubled Wanderer Base.
It wasn't that he was magnanimous, but rather that the universe was too vast and Wanderer Base too insignificant, so minor that he had no way of knowing in which corner of the universe Wanderer Base was, it was as negligible as dust, barely noticeable.
"The people from Wanderer Base have all moved away from the mother planet, and have joined the Shatu Clan," Coach Mu said.
"Joining another race is quite common, but why did they all move away from the mother planet?" Lin Shen was puzzled.
"What I meant by joining is that they abandoned their own identities will live on as members of the Shatu Clan, with no more ties to us humans," Coach Mu said with some disdain.
Lin Shen listened and was stunned, "I haven't heard of any Shatu Clan. What's their situation? How could they let an external race join their clan? Isn't that deceiving themselves? Humans are humans, even if you change the name, doesn't the different body still make them human?"
"That might not necessarily be the case, some people abandon humanity to behave like beasts," Instructor Mu said more and more angrily.
Lin Shen asked in detail about the situation and then found out that the Shatu Clan had poor fertility, which had always hindered their development. Therefore, they were keen on absorbing members from other tribes into the Shatu Clan.
The technological level of the Shatu Clan was decent, and they excelled in genetic modification technology. Those willing to join the Shatu would only need to undergo a modification to gain a dog-like nose, characteristic of the Shatu, and they would be considered part of the tribe.
The higher-ups from the Wanderer Base, along with their families, who joined the Shatu Clan, also needed to undergo that kind of modification surgery. They would indeed no longer be the same as humans.
"Instructor Mu," Lin Shen said. "The Shatu Clan wasn't anything decent, just like the people from the Wanderer Base. Forget about them, it irritates me even to talk about them. How are things on your end? If you need manpower, your fellow disciples can lend a hand."
"I'm currently reliant on others and have to watch their faces to live; I can't let my brothers suffer this indignity with me," Lin Shen said with a bitter smile.
Instructor Mu nodded, "I know it's not easy for you out there. An equal effort yields equal rewards; although it may seem glamorous on the surface, you've definitely faced hardships in the shadows. If there's anything we can help with, just let us know."
"Coach, since you mentioned it, there is actually something I'd like you to help me with," Lin Shen said earnestly.
"I knew you had something up your sleeve with all this beating around the bush. Just say it; considering all that you've done recently, I'll definitely help if I can," Instructor Mu said, half jesting.
"It's not a big deal, really. That Giant Sea Serpent Tooth you have, could I borrow it for a few days?" Lin Shen had always had his eye on that tooth imbued with Fire Seed but couldn't think of a pretext to take it. He finally saw his chance today.
"It's just a souvenir; you can take it, no need to talk about borrowing it. But at your current level, what use could that item be to you?" Instructor Mu said, walking into the kitchen, he fetched the Giant Sea Serpent Tooth and handed it to Lin Shen.
"It's hard to explain. It's useless to others, but it's of great use to me. I'll just borrow it for a few days; I won't damage it and will return it to you soon," Lin Shen said with joy as he took the tooth, uncertain of what Fire Seed abilities it might unveil.
"In that case, return it when you have time. It is a memento from my youthful years," Instructor Mu said with a smile.
"By the way, coach, how's the training camp going?" Lin Shen tucked away the Giant Sea Serpent Tooth and asked about the training camp's status.
As soon as the topic of the training camp came up, a spark lit up in Instructor Mu's eyes. "With those Evolution Skills you've provided, the training camp is doing well. We've accepted quite a few students with great potential. It's just that space is limited. We had to politely decline a lot of students who wanted to enroll…"
At this point, Instructor Mu hesitated a bit, looking somewhat embarrassed. "There's something I need to apologize for. One of the Evolution Skills you left behind, I made it public. This allowed children who couldn't come to the training camp to practice at home."
"It wasn't the Inheritance Evolution Skill, was it?" Lin Shen was taken aback.
"That's exactly the one, Inheritance Evolution Skill. After testing it with the students for a while, we found it's the easiest to learn and quickest to show results, and it has strong applicability. Other Evolution Skills might require specific high-grade Pet Eggs to achieve an ideal Base Mutation Talent. The Inheritance Evolution Skill, matched with ordinary Pet Eggs, can also achieve quite respectable Base Mutation Talent, which is ideal for the children of ordinary families. That's why I promoted it so vigorously," Instructor Mu explained, feeling a bit guilty for not having informed Lin Shen beforehand.
"Coach, you've done an excellent job. I gave it to you hoping that you would promote it widely; the more people who practice it, the better," Lin Shen laughed, elated by Coach Mu's strong backing; he had been unsure about how to spread it himself.
