Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 21: No chance for inner courtyard Xu Tianxi (Please collect and recommend)

Shrek Academy was very efficient. Just three days later, a simple document appeared on the desk of Du Weilun, the director of the External Affairs Department of Shrek Academy.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, brother. Take this to the city lord to claim your reward."

Du Weilun wrote a note and handed it to the masked man in front of him who was covered in a black robe.

"Director Du, you're too polite. It's an honor for us Shrek people to work for the academy."

The masked man put away the note, and the eight soul rings on his body flashed slightly, and then disappeared in Du Weilun's office.

"You are truly worthy of being the geniuses who came out of our Shrek Outer Court. As long as you are here, our Shrek will not fall."

Du Weilun looked at the direction where the masked man disappeared with admiration, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The latter was once a student of Shrek Academy, but failed to be admitted to the inner courtyard. After graduating from the outer courtyard, he joined the Shrek City Defense Army and was under the jurisdiction of Shrek City. He has been serving until now and is the fastest Soul Douluo in the city defense army.

Dean Yan personally instructed that things should be done quickly, so Du Weilun did not dare to delay and went directly to the city defense army to ask the latter for help.

His gaze fell back on the simple materials on the table. Du Weilun frowned, thought for a while, picked up the materials, and walked towards Yan Shaozhe's office.

"Although Xu Tianxi failed to awaken the Mysterious Nether Turtle, he possesses a seventh-level innate soul power and is quite a talent. Please let the dean personally decide..."

……

"Huh? A rare spiritual spirit, Moon Shadow, with a seventh-level soul power? This kid's talent isn't too bad. But it looks like his spirit has undergone a malignant mutation. Even with the Mysterious Water Pill and the Black Tortoise God Pill, it's only at the seventh level. Without the pills, I'm afraid he might not even be at the third level."

Yan Shaozhe slapped the intelligence urgently delivered by the spy on the table, with a hint of sneer on his face.

"Wei Lun, in your opinion, what is this boy's talent? Can he graduate from the outer courtyard? Can he be admitted to the inner courtyard?"

"Let me see... unless his martial spirit has some special features that we don't know about, he might be able to graduate from the outer courtyard, but he won't be able to enter the inner courtyard."

Du Weilun's tone was firm, and he then calmly analyzed, "The innate soul power of level seven reaches the minimum level for our outer courtyard students to graduate. Every year, no more than fifty students graduate from our outer courtyard, and their innate soul power will not be lower than level seven."

"The Spiritual Martial Soul has some special features compared to other Martial Souls. If he can practice diligently, he will have a chance to graduate from the Outer Academy."

Shrek Academy gathers countless geniuses from the Three Kingdoms, and a number of them are eliminated every year. Among the geniuses who can enter the sixth grade, there are almost no people below the innate level seven.

Geniuses at the eighth or ninth level of innate power, or even those with full innate soul power, are rare outside, but they are common in Shrek Academy, and they come in continuously every year.

Although Titled Douluo are no longer so rare after thousands of years of development, the innate soul power of the vast majority of Titled Douluo in the original Three Kingdoms is still above level seven, with almost no exceptions. This is also one of the reasons why the External Academy sets the graduation threshold very high.

"As for the inner courtyard... although there are occasionally geniuses with innate seventh-level soul power who pass the assessment, it is almost impossible for Xu Tianxi with this spiritual attribute to pass, unless the Xuanming Sect is willing to spend a lot of resources on him."

Du Weilun fully considered Xu Tianxi's background and made the most prudent judgment.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and asked, "That's impossible. Why are you so sure?"

"Dean, you have a keen eye. Why bother asking me again?"

Du Weilun smiled apologetically and shook his head, then said seriously, "The reason is simple. Spiritual attribute soul beasts are too rare, and powerful ones are even rarer. Even with our academy's thousands of years of heritage, it's difficult to find a suitable soul ring ratio for him, let alone the Xuanming Sect."

"If he can't find a suitable spirit ring, it will be difficult for him to cultivate his martial spirit. It's not easy to cultivate to the seventh ring. Where can he find a suitable spirit beast in the future? He can't go to the Sun and Moon Empire to find the Evil Eye."

As he spoke, Du Weilun himself found his words funny. The Demon Forest was a forbidden area for soul masters that was no less dangerous than the Star Dou Great Forest. Even the Titled Douluo were very afraid of it.

Even if the Xuanming Sect has a solid foundation, they probably won't waste it on this young generation with little hope. The competition within their ranks is very fierce.

"By the way, what about that old monster Xu and the Xu family's patriarch? Can we investigate them together?"

Yan Shaozhe thought of the two people in Xuanming Sect who were closest to Xu Tianxi and asked cautiously.

If Old Monster Xu was determined to train Xu Tianxi, he really couldn't do anything to Xu Tianxi.

"What a coincidence! Our people just brought back news that the Xuanming Patriarch, Xu Fu, has been handing over his affairs to other members of the clan these past two days and announced that he will be going to the back mountains for seclusion. We haven't been able to get any news from Old Monster Xu."

"It's normal that she didn't get it...Send a message to Xue Lingxun and let her decide whether to agree or not."

Yan Shaozhe paced for a while with his hands behind his back and made a decision.

"Okay." Du Weilun agreed and turned around to make preparations.

……

Xuanming Sect, where the Sect Master’s wife sleeps.

Xue Lingxun, dressed in a simple and elegant palace dress and with a noble temperament, held the letter in her hand with her brows furrowed.

After closing her eyes and thinking for a long time, she opened her beautiful eyes, waved to the two maids standing respectfully beside her, and asked:

"Xue Han, Xue Nuan, what do you think?"

The two women looked at each other and said in unison, "It's all up to Your Highness to decide."

The two of them were Xue Lingxun's personal maids brought from the Douling Empire. They were given the surname Xue and were Xue Lingxun's absolute family.

"Let me decide... Haha, this matter is really a headache. What should I do?" After being married into the Xuanming Sect for many years, Xue Lingxun has some understanding of the Xuanming Sect's strength. In one word, it can be described as unfathomable.

She had thought about taking Sanshi and her husband back to Douling to meet her relatives, and let the royal family use this as an opportunity to invite Xuanming Sect to join Douling as a national defense sect. This would be of great benefit to both her husband's family and her own family.

But she had not expected that her family would be very dissatisfied with her husband who eloped with her. Even though her husband revealed his identity as the leader of the Xuanming Sect and displayed a cultivation level close to that of a Titled Douluo, her father, the emperor who had loved her the most, also disliked them very much, not to mention her nephew who had just ascended the throne.

My husband was also a genius when he was young. He was not a temperless clay man. He could not stand the ridicule and contempt, and we soon parted on bad terms.

After returning with her husband, although her title of princess was not stripped away, as a princess of the previous dynasty, she did not have much influence left in the Douling Empire.

The dean of Shrek Academy asked him to embarrass Xu Tianxi, but it was really shameless of him to come up with such an idea.

"This matter can be big or small, it still depends on how important that boy is in my husband's heart."

Xue Lingxun slowly made up her mind and turned to the two women and said:

"Xuehan, take your men and prepare the whale glue tonic soup. Invite the Sect Master tonight. I want to have a candlelit chat with him."

"Xue Nuan, take your people to the market and buy some toys that children like. The more varieties, the better. Send them to Xu Tianxi of the Second House tomorrow in my name. Also, check if he's short of anything and make up for it."

Xuehan's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this, and she responded respectfully. Whale glue is a great tonic for enhancing male sexual function. Of course, she knew what "talking by candlelight at night" meant. Her Royal Highness the Princess was thinking about the Sect Master.

Xue Nuan looked puzzled and asked, "I am a stupid servant. I don't know what your Highness means by this."

"What's the point? It's just treating him better, giving him whatever he likes, letting him indulge in pleasure instead of cultivating. Isn't that what the royal family does when they raise dandies?"

Xue Lingxun lazily brushed her hair and said with a smile, "That child just lost his mother. It's only natural for me to care about him. As for whether this is useful or not, I have no right to interfere."

"I have done this and tried my best. I hope they will pay more attention to Sanshi. After all, I am just a small soul king. They can't let me do it."

"Alright, you two go quickly. Let Xue Xin and Xue Ling come in. I need to get out of the shower and dress. I haven't seen the Sect Master in a while and I miss him a lot. He said he would be in seclusion for two or three years. If I don't see him now, I'll miss him in the future."

"Yes." The two women bowed and turned to leave.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Xue Lingxun's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm.

The Shrek people were truly accustomed to being arrogant. Did they truly believe everyone was a fool willing to serve as their pawn? If they weren't wary of the Sun-Moon Empire, how could the three great empires tolerate such an emperor riding high and tyrannizing over them?

Especially for the royal family, the threat from the Sun-Moon Empire is certainly terrible, but how can Shrek, who can overthrow their throne at any time, not be terrible?

……

At night, Xu Fu, who was called by Xue Lingxun in the name of "discussing important matters", was surprised to find that the lady had changed into an elegant dress and was waiting for him.

A golden hairpin is worn through the false bun, and flower ornaments are hung on the step-shaking ornaments, embellishing the large white area on the chest.

After a few bowls of whale glue soup, the rest is self-explanatory.

……

At noon the next day, Xu Tianxi, who was browsing books in the library, looked at the pile of antique toys, miscellaneous books, and a gold soul card that Xue Nuan and his men had brought over, and question marks appeared on his forehead.

"Chen Wu, Yue Lao, what do you think the eldest lady means by this? Why did she give me this?"

Xu Tianxi casually picked up an arrow used for pitching pots and twisted it, his eyes thoughtful. This thing is good, but why give it to him for no reason? He didn't even go to pay his respects to her.

Yue Lao frowned in thought, and Chen Wu said casually, "I think she just wants to show off her status. How about Third Young Master, go and play with Second Young Master?"

"Makes sense."

Without further ado, Xu Tianxi directly asked Xu Xiaoyun to help find Xu Sanshi, who had been avoiding him these days, and said with a smile:
"Brother Sanshi, I have something I want you to help me with..."

After quickly expressing his doubts about Xue Lingxun, Xu Sanshi frowned and thought for a long time before answering.

"I don't know anything else. When I went to pay my respects to her this morning, I found her still lying in bed, unable to get up. I asked my mother's personal maid, and she said that my mother had invited the old man over last night, and the two of them had been tossing and turning all night..."

"My mother was very happy at the time and even gave me a Gold Soul Card so I could spend it as I pleased when I returned to Shrek."

Xu Tianxi: “……???”

What was going on? Could it be that Xu Fu was so pleased with her service that she wanted to give him some rewards?

Thinking about it this way, Xu Fu is quite righteous. Xue Lingxun is at the age of being as vigorous as a wolf and a tiger. He works so hard, and can be said to be using his body as a tiger to seek benefits for the two of them, even though he does not really need it.

"It seems the old man is a good person."

Xu Tianxi sighed with an inexplicable tone. Although he was not completely sure of Xue Lingxun's motives, there was no need to think too much about it since the ancestor was standing behind him.

"Yes, the old man is a really good person." Xu Sanshi touched the golden soul card he had just obtained and agreed sincerely.

Xu Xiaoyun stood silently, his eyes flickering, and he smelled a familiar scent.

"Let's go ask Xu Fu later..."
