Unrivaled Tang Sect: Xiao Ding Zhen Tian

Chapter 166 Reward
Ma Xiaotao already understood what Xiao Yun meant.

It is undeniable that she did have some feelings for Xiao Yun, but not to the point where she would give her body to him.

Of course, Xiao Yun was just talking, he also had no such thoughts towards Ma Xiaotao.

The two soon fell silent.

After landing on the island, the four deans of Shrek led a group of people along a stone path towards the depths of Poseidon Island.

Poseidon Island is very quiet, as if no one lives here. Everything is so peaceful and comfortable, like a paradise. The pavilions and towers hidden among the tall vegetation are beautiful and elegant.

The vegetation here is almost at least a thousand years old, and some big trees are even as high as a hundred meters. Walking among the trails, the air is not only fresh, but also blocks everyone's sight. Most of them are ignorant of the true face and only focus on themselves. The feeling of being in this mountain.

It didn't take long before they followed the path to a location near the top of the mountain, and a pavilion appeared in everyone's sight.

It was a three-story building. The building itself was brown in color and made entirely of wood. It was simple and had a bit of vicissitudes of life. If you look carefully, you can find that the wood of the small building has a sheen that is almost like grease.

The three-story building is only ten meters high in total, and it doesn't feel grand or majestic at all. However, just above the entrance on the first floor, there is a black plaque hanging on it, with three large gilded characters marking its identity, Poseidon Pavilion.

Seeing these three big characters, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of solemnity. Calculated in terms of distance, the location of Poseidon Pavilion is not only close to the top of the mountain, but also the center of the entire Poseidon Island.

"Children, this should be your first time here. Poseidon Pavilion has a history of countless years in our Shrek Academy. This is not only the true central holy place of our academy, but also the place with the highest secrets of the academy."

Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, then turned to face the Sea God Pavilion and bowed, "Teacher, they are back."

Hearing the word "teacher", everyone was shocked. Even inner court disciples Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen had shocked expressions on their faces.

As the dean of the Wuhun Department, Yan Shaozhe holds a very high status in the hearts of the inner courtyard disciples. Even Elder Xuan, because of his different positions, is not as important as their dean Yan in the eyes of the students. But they never expected that the teacher of dean Yan is still alive.

"Come in, everyone."

An old voice sounded, and then a scene that shocked everyone appeared.

Right in front of them, the three-story building of Poseidon Pavilion, which was completely inconspicuous just a moment ago, suddenly lit up without warning. The brilliant golden light bloomed instantly, turning the entire building into golden color, like a wooden building. It's like a pavilion built of pure gold.

Rich and soft golden light floated down, enveloping everyone in it. The warm, thick light breath nourished each of their bodies, and the fatigue caused by the rush was swept away in an instant.

"So cool!"

Yao Haoxuan couldn't help but let out a comfortable cry. He had been sitting in the carriage for so long that he was almost shocked to death. Now that he was nourished by the breath of light, he instantly felt extremely wonderful.

Although it was not the first time that Xiao Yun felt the cleansing of this bright aura, he still found it very strange.

Of course, Xiaoxiao is an exception. After all, she has the Blade of Life in her body, and the effect is similar to that of the Poseidon Pavilion.

Bathed in this golden light, the members of the Shrek team, including Wang Yan, closed their eyes unconsciously. However, the four deans and Elder Xuan quietly walked into the Sea God Pavilion first, and were not affected by the golden light released by the Sea God Pavilion.

At this time, Beibei's eyes looked a little strange, and vaguely, his soul power was released from his body, the blue-purple lightning light disappeared, and the faint golden light was accompanied by a slight dragon roar.

This state lasted for quite some time before everyone gradually woke up.

After everyone woke up, they filed into the Sea God Pavilion. After the baptism of light just now, this three-story building became extremely majestic in their eyes, so much so that they even had a pilgrimage mentality when they entered it.

Walking into the first floor of Poseidon Pavilion, everything is so quaint. It seems that all the materials of the furniture and decorations here are the same as the peculiar wood of Poseidon Pavilion itself.

In the middle of the spacious hall, there is a long table. The four deans and Elder Xuan are already sitting at the table. In addition to them, there are also elderly men sitting on both sides of the long table.

"These are the elders of Poseidon Pavilion, and they are also the real pillars of our academy." Yan Shaozhe began to introduce them to everyone.

"Hello, old man."

Everyone in Shrek greeted them.

"Good good."

An elderly woman said with a smile. Although she was old, one could vaguely tell from her appearance that she was definitely a beautiful woman when she was young.

Yan Shaozhe looked at the members of the regular team and said, "You are members of the last reserve team. Perhaps you are curious why after winning the last competition, you were only commended and awarded in Shrek Square, but this time you were brought directly to the Sea God Pavilion."

"Actually, you should thank someone for this."

As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe's eyes fell on Xiao Yun. "After discussion at the Poseidon Pavilion, in view of the outstanding performance of the reserve team captain Xiao Yun and his demonstrated talent in this Soul Master Competition, the academy will grant him the permanent title of the Shrek Seven Devils, and he will be one of the candidates for the next Poseidon Pavilion Master."

boom!
It was as if a bolt of thunder had fallen on everyone's head, especially Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng and others, who stared at Xiao Yun with an expression of disbelief.

They admitted that Xiao Yun's talent was indeed enough to earn him the title of one of the Shrek Seven Devils permanently, but what did it mean to be a candidate for the next Pavilion Master, Lord Poseidon?
There is only one known candidate now, and that is the absolute leader in the hearts of all the inner courtyard students, senior sister Zhang Lexuan.

In other words, in the hearts of the elders in the Sea God Pavilion, Xiao Yun is on the same level as the eldest senior sister.

Xiao Yun was also very confused, and then he heard an old voice in his mind, "Don't worry, little guy. Before you came back, someone from the Sky Palace had secretly come to the academy to communicate with us."

The owner of this voice is naturally Mr. Mu.

"You are afraid that I will go to the Qingtian Palace and ignore Shrek." Xiao Yun said helplessly.

"Haha, kid, you're right. To be honest, in all these years, besides Le Xuan, you are the most outstanding child I have ever seen. Even though your ancestors are from the Qingtian Palace, I don't want to let you go just like that."

"Mr. Mu, you worry too much. To be honest, the academy has taken great care of me. It is absolutely impossible to say that I have no feelings for it. So you can rest assured that as long as the academy does not stab me in the back, I will definitely help the academy to the best of my ability."

That's good." After the voice faded away, Xiao Yun took a deep breath and bowed to Yan Shaozhe, "Student Xiao Yun, thank you for the trust and respect you have shown me."

"call!"

Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't mention it, he was actually quite nervous. Although the Qingtian Palace didn't come directly to ask for someone, the meaning was almost the same. If Xiao Yun really had to leave, not to mention how terrible his future development would be, the problem of his apprentice Ma Xiaotao alone would be difficult to solve.

"In addition to the above two points, Xiao Yun, the academy has decided to give you three soul bones as a reward for this competition, and you can apply to enter the Sea God Pavilion to practice at any time in the future." Yan Shaozhe said, "At the same time, at the end of this semester, you don't have to take the final exam. The academy will arrange an inner courtyard assessment for you. After passing it, you will become an honorary inner courtyard disciple."

After hearing this, not only Xiao Yun, but also Ma Xiaotao and others were confused.

"Teacher, why have I never heard of the term "honorary inner courtyard disciple"?"

"Ahem, Xiao Yun is still young after all. If he were to go on life-and-death missions like you inner court disciples too early, something might go wrong. But if he is just an outer court disciple, then the title of the future successor of the Sea God Pavilion would not be worthy of his status."

"So Xiao Yun can continue to stay in the outer courtyard, or he can accept inner courtyard missions like you. However, the academy will not assign him missions every month. He can just take them whenever he wants."

"Besides that, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, your cultivation has also reached the fourth ring. Depending on your performance, you will also be assigned an inner courtyard assessment after the end of this semester. Take advantage of the time left to prepare well."

Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were overjoyed when they heard this, "Thank you, Dean!"

"You are all the future of our school and our pride, especially the reserve team. You will be the main force of the school in the next competition. I hope you can learn from this competition and let the next glory continue to fall on us."

Yan Shaozhe spoke loudly.

"Yes!"

"Okay, everyone else can leave now. Xiao Yun, you stay for a while."

After everyone left, Yan Shaozhe turned around slightly, and a soul power transmitted a voice out of the door, "Le Xuan, come here."

Soon, Zhang Lexuan, dressed in a white dress, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Xiao Yun, congratulations." Zhang Lexuan first bowed to the four deans and several elders, and then smiled softly at Xiao Yun, "From now on, we will become senior and junior sisters."

"What's going on, sister?" Xiao Yun looked puzzled.

"Master Mu said that when you have the chance you can go to him to learn. I also practiced with Master Mu before. So, you are my junior brother, right?" Zhang Lexuan said with a smile.

The corners of Xiao Yun's mouth twitched, as if this was the truth.

"Okay, don't think too much. Sister will take you to choose soul bones." Zhang Lexuan pinched Xiao Yun's little face, took his hand and walked inside.

As soon as the two of them entered the room where the soul bones were stored in the Sea God Pavilion, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but ask, "Are you leaving soon?"

"Well, sister should know about the Qingtian Palace. During the competition, people from the Qingtian Palace came to see me. I thought about it and decided that I should bring my family back to our roots."

Xiao Yun said softly.

"As expected, you still don't have much sense of belonging to the academy." Zhang Lexuan sighed softly, "But I won't blame you. After all, everyone has their own choices."

"Okay, sister, I'm not quitting the academy forever. Can't I be a student of Shrek while being a member of the Qingtian Palace?" Xiao Yun pinched Zhang Lexuan's hand and said with a smile.

Zhang Lexuan chuckled, "You little guy, you want both of them, you are so greedy."

"But you probably don't know much about the Qingtian Palace. Will there be any problems if you go back rashly?" Zhang Lexuan said worriedly.

Xiao Yun smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself."

With the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor around, Xiao Yun actually possessed an extremely powerful force.

"I believe you." Zhang Lexuan said, handing a soul bone to Xiao Yun. "This soul bone was collected by Elder Mu in the past. It was taken from a nearly 80,000-year-old holy winged beast. And unlike ordinary torso bones, this soul bone also has an external soul bone attached to it. It is very suitable for your girlfriend."

Xiao Yun was stunned, "Sister, you..."

"Don't think that I can't see that you haven't carefully selected any spirit bones since you came in. I guess you don't plan to use these three spirit bones for yourself, right?"

"That's true." Xiao Yun smiled bitterly. "I have all the soul skills I need now, so soul bones don't help me much. Unless they are more than 100,000 years old, there is no need to absorb them. On the contrary, Xiao Xiao and Yun Er are still too weak. I don't know what will happen when they return to the Sky Palace this time, so I want them to improve as much as possible."

"Is that so?" Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment, and quickly found two more soul bones. "These two soul bones are very suitable for uncle and aunt. Of course, this left arm bone is also very suitable for Xiaoxiao. You decide who to give it to."

After handing all three soul bones to Xiao Yun, Zhang Lexuan hesitated for a moment and said, "How about you ask me to come with you when you return to the Qingtian Palace?"

"Are you serious?"

"I'm a little worried about you. The Qingtian Palace is one of the most mysterious forces on the continent. Even the academy still doesn't know their background. I'm really afraid that you will encounter danger if you go back rashly." Zhang Lexuan said softly.

Xiao Yun was moved and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind. He stretched out his hands and gently held Zhang Lexuan's delicate body in his arms.

Zhang Lexuan's body trembled, but she did not struggle.

"Sister." Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Thank you. No matter what, I will always remember your kindness to me."

Listening to the voice of the boy in front of her, Zhang Lexuan raised a smile. In her mind, the figure of the boy gradually occupied her mind, and the other figure was slowly forced to retreat and disperse.
