Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

"Teacher, I've passed the assessment and am about to enter the inner courtyard. Shouldn't you tell me your identity now?"

Downstairs in the dormitory building, Xu Tianming accompanied Old Mu as he basked in the sun under a tree.

There were no classes in the afternoon, but all the students in the foreign language department were busy because the upgrade assessment was tomorrow, which made the two people lying under the tree looking extremely comfortable.

Xu Tianming certainly knew Elder Mu's identity; he even knew Elder Mu's future and a story ending that had already been written.

But he shouldn't know this now, which is why he asked the question.

"My identity? I'm just an old man..."

Old Mu chuckled happily.

Since taking on this young disciple, he felt that his mindset had become somewhat younger, and he was no longer so gloomy.

Xu Tianming rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, you're an old man, the kind of old man who can easily get top geniuses from the inner academy to be my examiners, and who can bring out so many good things..."

He rolled over in the recliner, looked up at the dappled sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves, and murmured, "Anyway, I'll find out once I get to the inner courtyard. Then I'll use your status as my teacher to act like a tyrant and do whatever I want in the inner courtyard..."

Old Master Mu was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

He said sternly, "You brat... even if I have a high status, it is not a reason for you to act arrogantly and lawlessly."

Xu Tianming has a very high talent, much higher than Yan Shaozhe. If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Tianming has a high probability of becoming a Limit Douluo and becoming the pillar of Shrek Academy for the next few hundred years.

The thing these geniuses must be careful not to go astray!

He absolutely does not want to see people acting arrogantly and lawlessly.

Of course, he could tell that Xu Tianming was joking.

Over the past six months, he has come to know a lot about Xu Tianming's personality and character, and he believes that Xu Tianming is a good kid.

"Alright, since you're so curious about my identity, I'll tell you. I'll also give you a brief introduction to some things about the inner courtyard."

He felt that Xu Tianming was right. Once Xu Tianming entered the inner courtyard, he would soon find out his identity, and there would be no point in hiding it any longer.

Moreover, he initially concealed his identity to test Xu Tianming's character, and now that purpose has been achieved.

"The Inner Court is different from the Outer Court. In addition to being disciples of Shrek Academy, Inner Court disciples also shoulder..."

Elder Mu began to explain to Xu Tianming matters concerning the inner court disciples, including information about the Shrek Academy's supervisory group and the Sea God Pavilion.

After he revealed that he was the master of the Sea God Pavilion, Xu Tianming gave an extremely surprised expression.

"Teacher, you're the head of the Sea God Pavilion?! Does that mean you're the boss of the entire Shrek Academy?!"

Elder Mu: "..."

Xu Tianming: "I knew it! If Dean Yan Shaozhe were really in charge of Shrek Academy, it would probably have declined long ago. Since you're the boss, then it makes sense!"

His words were a mix of criticism and praise for Elder Mu.

Upon hearing this, Elder Mu sighed softly: "He is your senior brother. Although he has some flaws, he is generally alright. At least he is not a bad person."

Xu Tianming's strong resentment towards Yan Shaozhe is understandable.

What happened before is in the past, but that doesn't mean it's gone; not raising opinions doesn't mean they don't exist.

Xu Tianming didn't say much. As Elder Mu's disciple, he could appropriately criticize Yan Shaozhe, but too much of a good thing would be bad.

Yan Shaozhe is, after all, Elder Mu's disciple, and it has been so many years. Saying too much would displease Elder Mu.

Life is long, and we must take it one step at a time.

When Yan Shaozhe's cultivation level reaches a certain point, his position as the dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy can be given to someone else.

The two chatted under the tree for an entire afternoon until it got dark, at which point Xu Tianming went to the cafeteria to enjoy free, top-quality nourishing ingredients.

When I got back to the dorm, Beibei was already practicing in bed.

During the day, he would still accompany Tang Ya to do things related to the Tang Clan, but at night he began to control the time.

He knew that Xu Tianming's talent and strength far surpassed his own, but his pride as a genius wouldn't allow him to remain completely unresponsive!

After glancing at Beibei, who was meditating, Xu Tianming also sat cross-legged on the bed and continued his attempt to break through the level 40 bottleneck.

This bottleneck has been holding for many days, but it's becoming increasingly loose.

I believe he will soon break through the level 40 cultivation bottleneck!

The next day, Beibei and Tang Ya went to participate in the promotion test from first grade to second grade. One of them was a power attack type and the other was a control type. They both had to fight against spirit beasts in the beast fighting area.

Xu Tianming arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake, where someone was already waiting for him.

To his surprise, Zhang Lexuan was not the only one waiting for him there; Ma Xiaotao, dressed in a sexy red dress, was also there as well.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Tianming looked at Ma Xiaotao and asked with some surprise.

Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms, making her already well-developed figure even more impressive.

"What do you mean? I can't come?"

She frowned slightly and pouted.

Xu Tianming waved his hand and said, "I just didn't expect it. By the way, how's the situation lately? Has the evil fire still erupted?"

He hadn't suppressed Ma Xiaotao's evil fire for almost a month. Although he deliberately used more force when completing the assessment task, which even caused Ma Xiaotao to faint, and the evil fire was suppressed more thoroughly than before, a month had still passed.

Hearing Xu Tianming express concern for her situation, Ma Xiaotao's furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

"It's alright. After suppressing it last time, the evil fire hasn't erupted for a while. However, I'm about to break through in my cultivation recently, and it seems like I can't suppress it anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianming's eyes narrowed.

Yes, he forgot that his cultivation speed would be faster when he helped Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire!

Perhaps by helping Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire, she can break through the level 40 bottleneck by leveraging the power of the battle between good and evil!

With this in mind, Xu Tianming didn't delay any longer and quickly went through the procedures for becoming an inner court disciple with Zhang Lexuan.

The whole process was not complicated. Elder Mu had already explained everything to him yesterday. He just needed to collect the inner court disciples' clothes and Shrek Academy's inspection team members' equipment, and familiarize himself with some places on Seagod Island.

After doing all this, Xu Tianming and Ma Xiaotao went to the cultivation chamber.

The two had engaged in "dual cultivation" here countless times over the past year, and were very familiar with the process.

The two quickly got into the zone.

The power of the ultimate light surged into Ma Xiaotao's body, forcefully suppressing the evil power within the evil fire!

While suppressing the evil fire, Xu Tianming was also mobilizing his soul power and activating his blood and qi, preparing to break through the bottleneck of level 40 cultivation again!
