Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 266 Soul Bone Giveaway (Third Update)
Yan Shaozhe's gaze first fell on He Caitou and Jiang Nannan: "He Caitou, Jiang Nannan, although you two were not selected for the Shrek Academy reserve team, you made your own contributions in this competition and added bricks to the team's final victory. Whether it was He Caitou's cigar or Jiang Nannan's achievement under Huo Yuhao's spirit replication soul skill, you both deserve credit."

"Your first reward will be a Mystic Soul Bone for each of you from the academy. This kind of soul bone can be considered an artificial product. Although it is not as good as a pure natural soul bone, it is still a kind of encouragement for you."

"Furthermore, your cultivation levels have all surpassed those of the Soul Sect. Therefore, the academy has granted you special permission to directly take the Inner Academy assessment after the end of this academic year. Once you pass the assessment, you will be able to enter the Inner Academy for further study. The difficulty of the Inner Academy assessment remains unchanged. In addition, during the period before your assessment, I will arrange for two Inner Academy teachers to tutor you and help you complete the Inner Academy assessment as much as possible."

"As for Wu Feng, although you didn't participate, you were still a member of the team. After deliberation by the academy, it has been decided that after you advance to the fifth grade, you can apply for the inner academy assessment ahead of time. At that time, I will personally assess your strength. If you can give me some surprises, I will ask Elder Gong to personally provide you with corresponding guidance to help you complete the inner academy assessment. Your martial soul is a red dragon, which has great potential, while Elder Gong's martial soul is a fire dragon, which is somewhat similar to yours. You'll have to work hard these next few years."

He Caitou, Jiang Nannan, and Wu Feng's faces immediately lit up with joy, and they quickly bowed and thanked Dean Yan, saying, "Thank you so much, Dean Yan!"

The three of them weren't originally members of the reserve team; they had only gone to Xingluo City to watch the excitement. It was only because of Huo Yuhao that they were exceptionally and temporarily recruited into the Shrek Academy team. These rewards were a completely unexpected bonus for them.

Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "As for you, as the reserve team members of Shrek Academy in this competition, your performance can only be described as amazing and breathtaking, especially Yuhao!"

Yan Shaozhe exclaimed, "In the history of Shrek Academy, we have won countless championships in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. However, I can say that this championship you have won is one of the most meaningful and truly worthy of being recorded in history. Shrek will remember your contributions to the academy; you are the academy's true heroes."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's solemn words, everyone except Huo Yuhao was deeply moved. They truly hadn't expected the academy to have such a high opinion of them.

As for Huo Yuhao, he appeared extremely moved on the surface, but in reality, he was completely calm. He even lamented: Leaders in any world love to use vague concepts like "glory" and "contribution" to make empty promises! If these things were truly valuable, why would everyone still be so fixated on "bonuses" and "commissions"?

"You shouldered the shining glory of Shrek Academy with your young shoulders, fought tenaciously in what should have been a training journey, and won the final championship through your unremitting efforts. Your excellence has amazed us. After deliberation at the Sea God Pavilion meeting, it has been decided to award you the following rewards."

"As the champions of this competition, you have received three soul bones as a reward, plus an extra one suitable for Huo Yuhao. Therefore, the academy has decided to provide three more soul bones to each of you, based on your individual abilities and characteristics."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao finally became interested. After the empty talk, it was time to get down to business.

The others were overjoyed. Three more soul bones? If each person got one, there would be no question of being modest or at a disadvantage. With the academy's resources, the soul bones they brought out wouldn't be too bad, right?

"The Soul Bone reward is an encouragement for your tenacious struggle in this competition. In addition, you have preserved the honor for the academy in this competition, so the academy will also bestow an honor upon you. From this moment on, the academy bestows upon you the title of Shrek Seven Devils."

He paused slightly before saying heavily, "For life!" Xiao Xiao and the others gaped in astonishment. Unlike Huo Yuhao, they were natives who had grown up in this world listening to the legends of Shrek Academy. The title of the Shrek Seven Devils was well-known to them!

Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "The Sea God Pavilion meeting discussed this reward for a whole day. It was decided after a vote by all the elders and final confirmation by the Pavilion Master. However, there is one thing I must make clear in advance: in order to ensure the smooth progress of your studies in the academy, your achievements will not be publicized to the outside world, and will even be kept in the annals of history within the academy. Until you actually graduate from the academy, your deeds will only be known to you, and please do not publicize them."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao chuckled inwardly: If it can't add any attributes, and can't even be used for advertising to generate traffic, then what's the point of this title?
"In addition, the academy promises that when you need it, you can apply to the academy and the academy will find a soul ring that is most suitable for your current age. This reward can be combined with the rewards you received from the freshman assessment."

Xiao Xiao and the others were pleasantly surprised again. This meant that the age of their next two spirit rings would be the most suitable for them, which would help them lay a solid foundation in the early stages of becoming a spirit master.

So everyone quickly bowed in respect.

Yan Shaozhe stepped aside and respectfully asked the person at the front of the long table, "Teacher, is there anything else you want to tell them?"

Apart from Huo Yuhao, the others then noticed that there seemed to be a person half-lying down at the other end of the long table, but they couldn't see the person's face because of the angle.

"Children, your performance has exceeded my expectations. However, you must remember that temporary achievements do not define your future, and you must not become arrogant or complacent. Beibei, Xu Sanshi, you can apply directly for the Inner Academy assessment after the end of this academic year, just like He Caitou and the others. The difficulty of the assessment will remain the same."

"As for the two of you," two gazes fell on Huo Yuhao and Di Qianqiu, "Di Qianqiu, although your cultivation has reached the Soul Sect level, you have only studied in the academy for a short time and there are many things you still need to accumulate. Therefore, I suggest that you do not take the inner academy assessment for the time being, and study in the outer academy for two more years before making a decision."

Di Qianqiu nodded in agreement. Given her status, it would actually be better if she didn't enter the inner courtyard.

"And Yuhao, I have other plans for you. I'll talk to you about it privately later."

Other arrangements?

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't ask anything. He smiled obediently and nodded in agreement.
