Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 223 The Reward of Change

It has to be said that Cai Meier's words seem quite reasonable at first glance.

Listen to this; the words reveal the academy's concern for you and their unwillingness for you to lose your lives due to underestimating the enemy.

But actually?

Cai Meier's words cannot be taken too seriously, otherwise her words would be full of loopholes.

The most classic scenario is that you work yourself to the bone for someone and don't get paid, but if you get injured while working yourself to the bone, causing a problem with another task assigned by the boss, then they have to deduct your wages instead.

Paying to work?

This was probably the most horrible joke Lin Yun had heard in the past few days.

And isn't the main reason why the Death Hand incident suffered such heavy losses because of Xuanzi's drinking and mistakes?

After observing the expressions of the others, Lin Yun silently retreated.

Apart from Xiao Xiao and Ning Tianwufeng beside them, everyone else had a similar expression, basically completely disoriented by Cai Meier's words.

No wonder the original Shrek Seven Devils didn't have Ning Tian; he's too shrewd. In Shrek's words, he's ungrateful and not worth investing too many resources in.

Lin Yun only needed to make eye contact with her once to notice that she had a similar expression to his. After all, she had participated in the entire operation. Moreover, as a disciple of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she also had to do missions for the school. How could she receive the same treatment as Shrek Academy?

As for Xiao Xiao and Wu Feng, they simply followed in the footsteps of Lin Yun and Ning Tian.

So Lin Yun didn't intend to say anything more.

As I said before, put aside your desire to help others and respect their fate.

Since they were all willing to be brainwashed by Shrek Academy, Lin Yun couldn't possibly stand up for justice for a group of people who had absolutely no connection to him.

It's this Ma Xiaotao...

After Cai Meier's extreme brainwashing and manipulation, Lin Yun discovered that the proportion of the slave imprint and Shrek in Ma Xiaotao's heart had increased slightly. It was clear that she had almost been completely brainwashed, but the resurgence had somehow occurred.

It seems the training wasn't enough; we need to intensify the efforts.

After the inner court disciples were dealt with through PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics, it was time for the outer court disciples to receive their rewards. For these little guys who hadn't yet entered the inner court and whose PUA skills weren't quite up to par, Cai Meier adopted a more lenient approach.

First is Wang Yan.

His reward was a promotion to a top-level teacher in the inner academy, eliminating the need for further teacher promotion assessments, and three opportunities to borrow books from the secret library of the Sea God Pavilion.

As for the unlimited access to the library, which is limited to a certain time but not a certain number of times, like in the original work?

That's definitely not the case.

After all, the reason this competition was won was ultimately because Lin Yun carried the team single-handedly, and it had little to do with the team leader. Giving him a small reward would suffice.

The same goes for the rest of the reserve team.

They each received a precious set of cultivation-enhancing pills and herbs from Shrek Academy, but the quality was a step above that of previous years.

Finally, there's Lin Yun.

Cai Meier did not ask to take back the three ten-thousand-year soul bones that were awarded to the champion of the competition. On the one hand, it was because Lin Yun deserved them, and on the other hand, she wanted to use these three soul bones to gain more favor with Lin Yun.

A Soul Master with three black and two red attributes will definitely not have a Soul Ring ratio of less than three black and six red in the future. Moreover, according to Lin Yun's mysterious method of increasing the age limit, he may even become an unprecedented Limit Douluo with nine red attributes in the future.

In the eyes of Shrek's group, the combined value of all the reserve team and the regular team was less than that of Lin Yun.

Although Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao have twin martial souls, and their second martial soul also has the possibility of having a full 100,000-year configuration, the possibility is extremely small.

Absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring isn't something you can do just like that. Even now that there's a method for cultivating twin spirits, and we don't have to ask Bibi Dong like Tang San did, improving a spirit master's physical strength is another big problem after resolving the conflict between twin spirit power.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's normal for their second spirit to absorb at least five ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

Over the past ten thousand years, Shrek has produced far too many examples of this.

Under Lin Yun's terrifying spirit ring configuration, the value of their twin martial souls appears much smaller. With the same spirit ring configuration, twin martial souls are definitely inferior to ultimate martial souls.

No matter how many tricks you have, you can't compare to someone who's inherently a numerical monster.

The Golden Dragon is such a being.

Primitive Man Mechanism, the numerical value of the Primordial Celestial.

A pair of fists can shatter all your fancy tricks.

Furthermore, since Lin Yun was basically the center in this competition, his reward was destined to be the highest.

First of all, there were rare and precious materials. Cai Meier did not give Lin Yun any pills or herbs, but instead took out a piece of top-grade whale glue that had been aged for 50,000 years. This piece of whale glue was a sure-fire killer for Lin Yun.

It is foreseeable that a Soul Master with the ultimate power attribute will not complain about having a high physical strength. In addition, with Lin Yun's Soul Ring configuration, this 50,000-year whale glue can at least increase the age of Lin Yun's Soul Ring absorption by several thousand years.

This piece of 50,000-year-old whale glue alone already far surpasses everyone else's rewards.

The second reward is a chance to meditate at the bottom of the Golden Tree.

Meditation at the bottom of the Golden Tree and cultivation within the Golden Tree are two different things. Even Ma Xiaotao, who frequently enters and exits the Sea God Pavilion, has only meditated at the bottom of the Golden Tree once, when she entered the inner courtyard.

If you add the three soul bones from the tournament champion, Lin Yun's rewards for this tournament are truly enormous.

The value of the three soul bones is guaranteed to be at least several million gold soul coins, and the price of 50,000-year-old whale glue is not much different. The opportunity to meditate on the golden tree is something that money can't buy.

By this calculation, Lin Yun not only got to show off, but also earned tens of millions of gold soul coins...

Ok……

His appearance fee was reasonable.

Lin Yun hesitated about this last chance to meditate on the Golden Tree.

"Dean Cai, could we postpone the opportunity to meditate on the Golden Tree until later? My sect has some matters to attend to, and I need to leave Shrek Academy for a while, so I'm afraid I won't be able to use this reward," Lin Yun inquired.

"Hmm? Are you sure? The opportunity to meditate at the bottom of the Golden Tree can help a Soul Master find their future path, and the earlier they enter, the greater the benefits." Cai Meier was somewhat surprised.

"It's really inconvenient." Lin Yun shrugged helplessly.

Cai Meier was momentarily at a loss for what to do, and subconsciously looked towards the head seat at the very end of the Sea God Pavilion.

That's where Moon is.

"Hehe... Of course you can. The reward has already been given to you. You can decide when you want to cash it in."

A gentle, aged laugh softly rang out.
