Wang Yan clenched his fists excitedly and asked impatiently.

"Is it really the Thunderous Hell Vine?! But how could the Thunderous Hell Vine have cultivated to the level of 100,000 years? And if it really is a Thunderous Hell Vine with 100,000 years of cultivation, with your current cultivation level, Tianhuang, you should not be able to suppress it."

Xu Zihuang was already used to Wang Yan's fervor for researching martial souls and soul beasts, and then recounted the situation of the Thunderous Hell Vine to Wang Yan.

Of course, he concealed the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He only said that he had encountered a treasure land while traveling for training.

The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire had long been seized by Tang San and used as the Tang family's backyard. Even within Shrek Academy, there were no records of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Wang Yan gave Xu Zihuang a deep look, suppressing his curiosity and refraining from asking further questions. It was Yu Tianhuang who had discovered that treasure land; it would be inappropriate for him to continue questioning it.

Han Ruoruo, who seemed to be deep in thought, chimed in, "Ning Tian's martial soul was able to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which is also related to that treasure land, right?"

Xu Zihuang smiled noncommittally.

Ning Tian remained calm throughout, a charming smile on her face, as she quietly took Xu Zihuang's arm.

The evolution of her martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the long-cherished wish of their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for ten thousand years, and she was already content. Moreover, she had absolute trust in Yu Tianhuang, never inquiring about the treasure land, nor dwelling on such matters. She believed that Yu Tianhuang must have his own reasons for doing so.

Dai Luoli is not currently in the inner courtyard, but rather at the reception area in the outer courtyard. After all, not just anyone can set foot on Poseidon Island; only those whose identities have been confirmed are permitted to enter the inner courtyard.

After the four crossed Poseidon Lake, Wang Yan led everyone into the senior teaching building.

During this time, Wang Yan introduced Xu Zihuang to several powerful lightning-attribute soul beasts. Although there are many powerful lightning-attribute soul beasts on the continent today, only a few can truly be called top-tier soul beasts.

What interested Xu Zihuang most was a sub-dragon-like spirit beast called the One-Horned Thunderstorm Dragon. It was said that after its cultivation reached the 100,000-year level, the One-Horned Thunderstorm Dragon would undergo a transformation, becoming a being comparable to a true dragon-like spirit beast. Rumors even suggested it could rival the true dragon-like spirit beast, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

However, while the One-Horned Thunderstorm Dragon isn't as extinct as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, its rarity is similar to that of the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear. It might be found in the Star Dou Great Forest, but its cultivation level might not meet his requirements.

Wang Yan and Han Ruoruo were much more familiar with the upper-grade teaching building than Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, ​​and after a few twists and turns, they led them to their destination.

Along the way, Han Ruoruo also collected a document in an office. It was the information registration form for newly admitted students of Shrek Academy's inner court.

Han Ruoruo and Zhang Lexuan are both teaching assistants in the Inner Court, and they are responsible for this kind of work.

Thinking of the three-eyed golden lion they had encountered in Shrek City, Xu Zihuang glanced sideways at the information registration form in Han Ruoruo's hand. Han Ruoruo, of course, had no need to hide it from everyone, and simply laid it flat in front of her chest, examining the information on it.

However, in the next instant, Xu Zihuang and Han Ruoruo's pupils contracted simultaneously.

The first few lines on the homepage contained the following information:

Name: Wang Qiu'er

Age: Nineteen years old

Martial Soul: Golden Dragon Lion

Soul Power: Level 60

Next comes a detailed review of Wang Qiu'er's performance in the inner court assessment.

Han Ruoruo exclaimed in surprise.

"Golden Dragon Lion?"

Wang Yan and Ning Tian also noticed Han Ruoruo's unusual behavior and subconsciously followed her gaze.

Han Ruoruo snapped out of her daze and asked Wang Yan beside her with a puzzled look, "This newly promoted inner court disciple's martial soul is the Golden Dragon Lion. Teacher Wang, have you ever heard of such a martial soul? Is it a mutated martial soul?"

Wang Yan's soul power cultivation of only level sixty-something is nothing special, but his research on martial souls is among the best in the entire Shrek Academy.

Wang Yan was also surprised, and a glint of excitement seemed to flash deep in his eyes.

"No, this shouldn't be a mutated martial soul. Among soul beasts, gold and silver have special distinguishing significance for high-level soul beasts. Silver generally represents multiple attributes or possessing powerful attributes. This type of soul beast may have evolved, or it may have been born with powerful abilities. For example, in the Sun Moon Empire, there is a soul beast called the Silver Moon Wolf, which can control the power of multiple attributes through mental strength."

"Gold represents exceptional physical abilities, manifested in strength, destructive power, and regenerative capabilities. Silver soul beasts are already quite rare, but golden soul beasts are even rarer. Even super soul beasts like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Crimson Gold Lion are not considered pure golden soul beasts. Among the ten most ferocious beasts known in the soul beast world, none are golden. And among golden soul beasts, the most famous is the Golden Dragon."

Upon hearing this, both Han Ruoruo and Ning Tian revealed a hint of realization in their eyes.

They had all heard of the legends about the Golden Dragon, the Silver Dragon, and the Dragon God.

Legend has it that the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon each inherited two abilities from the Dragon God. The Golden Dragon wielded power, while the Silver Dragon controlled the laws of the elements.

Wang Yan's next words drew everyone's attention to him.

"If I'm not mistaken, the martial soul of that new inner court student named Wang Qiu'er is very likely related to the inheritance of the Golden Dragon. Judging from her performance in the inner court assessment, her most outstanding ability is also strength."

Looking at Wang Yan's fanatical expression, Xu Zihuang secretly praised him.

Wang Yan indeed possesses unique insights into the study of martial spirits. Based solely on this information, he deduced that Wang Qiu'er inherited the Golden Dragon bloodline.

But then, the expression on his face became somewhat strange.

If Wang Qiu'er hadn't had her Golden Dragon bloodline extracted, simulating the Golden Dragon Martial Soul would have been no problem at all. But now, with the Golden Dragon bloodline missing, Wang Qiu'er could only settle for simulating the Golden Dragon Lion Martial Soul.

Her true form is a three-eyed golden lion, and the lion itself possesses characteristics of both a dragon and a lion. This makes sense.

What made him feel uneasy was that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion not only took on the appearance of Wang Dong'er just like in his memories from his previous life, but also adopted the name Wang Qiu'er.

At this moment, Han Ruoruo reminded her with a gentle smile.

"Now that this student named Wang Qiu'er has become an inner disciple of the academy, we will have opportunities to get to know her in the future. Teacher Wang, let's finish the tasks assigned to us by the academy first."

"Yes, I was being rude," Wang Yan replied awkwardly.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian silently followed behind the two. Ning Tian was also somewhat concerned about Wang Qiu'er's situation.

It was only after entering Shrek Academy that she realized there were quite a few people on the continent who were more outstanding than her.

From Yu Tianhuang at the beginning, to Ma Xiaotao and Meng Hongchen who later brought her a sense of crisis, and Ye Guyi.

However, her martial soul had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and she and Yu Tianhuang had taken that step together. She would no longer be as insecure as before.

Ning Tian was focused on Wang Qiu'er's name. Seeing this name always unconsciously reminded her of Wang Dong from back then. From the moment she saw Wang Dong's Radiant Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul, she knew Wang Dong was a woman.

Not long after, the group of four arrived at the reception area of ​​the senior teaching building of the School of Foreign Languages.

The people who received Dai Luoli were several senior teachers from the School of Foreign Languages. Xu Zihuang had only been in the School of Foreign Languages ​​for a little over a year and was not familiar with these senior teachers.

Three years have passed, and Dai Luoli is now sixteen years old. He has reached a height of 1.8 meters and has a strong build. He has short blond hair, and his cold and handsome face bears some resemblance to Dai Huabin. However, unlike Dai Huabin's inherent arrogance, Dai Luoli's personality is somewhat similar to Huo Yuhao's due to his experiences from childhood.

They weren't as obsessive and dark as Huo Yuhao, but they shared the same inferiority complex and sensitivity.

Back then, his soul power hadn't reached level fifteen before the age of twelve, preventing him from entering Shrek Academy. Given Dai Hao's personality, it was impossible for him to get in through connections. Left with no other option, he had to stay at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to cultivate.

Years later, Dai Luoli never expected that she would still get into Shrek Academy, which she had always longed for, by "going through the back door".

Sitting on the sofa, he seemed somewhat uneasy, occasionally peering through the crystal window of the reception room to carefully observe every corner of Shrek Academy, his eyes filled with longing.

From a young age, he aspired to become a powerful Soul Master, a hero like his father, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan. If he could stay at Shrek Academy, he would certainly have a better chance of achieving his goal. His two older brothers, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin, both experienced tremendous leaps in strength while studying at Shrek Academy.

Just then, a series of footsteps startled Dai Luoli awake, and he quickly sat up straight.

The senior teachers stood up to greet Wang Yan, Xu Zihuang, Han Ruoruo, and Ning Tian politely as they entered the reception room.

"Teacher Wang, you were in charge of this matter before?"

Despite all being at the Soul Emperor level, Wang Yan, as an inner court teacher, holds a much higher position within the academy.

“Leave the rest to me. You can go and do other things.” Wang Yan smiled back, then looked at Dai Luoli, who had suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

Upon noticing Xu Zihuang following behind Wang Yan, Dai Luoli was overjoyed, and her voice noticeably rose a few decibels.

"Brother Yu?!"

"Long time no see, Luo Li." Xu Zihuang greeted Dai Luo Li.

“I’ve heard about your situation from Teacher Wang. I’m a spirit-attribute Soul Master, and Teacher Wang and I will take a look at your Martial Soul later.”

Dai Luoli's hands were unsure what to do; her emotions were too intense, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, she could only nod, her face flushed.

Wang Yan said, "It's not convenient to stay here in the outer courtyard. Let's go back to Poseidon Island first."

During their conversations along the way, he learned from Yu Tianhuang about his encounter with Dai Luoli in the Star Dou Great Forest. Now that Yu Tianhuang had confirmed Dai Luoli's identity, he could bring her to Seagod Island.

On the way back to Poseidon Island, Dai Luoli looked at Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, ​​who were behaving intimately, and said apologetically.

"Brother Yu, Sister Ning, am I bothering you a little?"

"Don't overthink it. Tianhuang and I don't have anything to do lately." Ning Tian leaned against Xu Zihuang and smiled slightly at Dai Luoli.

Back then, Dai Luoli had a pretty good impression on Ning Tian. Moreover, Dai Luoli's admiration for Yu Tianhuang didn't seem fake, and as Yu Tianhuang's girlfriend, it was natural for him to develop some feelings for Dai Luoli.

Xu Zihuang gently pinched Ning Tian's fair cheek, the touch warm and smooth. Ning Tian instantly understood Yu Tianhuang's meaning, his cheeks flushed, and he exchanged a subtle glance with Xu Zihuang.

The phrase "nothing happened" refers to the fact that they spent so much time making a fuss on the top floor of Jiubaoge last night.

Here we must commend the efficacy of the Xuanwu Divine Pill. With the enhancement of the Xuanwu Divine Pill, Ning Tian was able to perform far beyond his usual level.

Wang Yan and Han Ruoruo both wore smiles; of course, they were unaware of Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian's private thoughts. They simply felt a sense of comforting accomplishment at having witnessed the emotional journey between Yu Tianhuang and Ning Tian.

Considering Delori's situation, the group changed their route to take a ferry when returning to Poseidon Island.

Just like everyone who sets foot on Seagod Island for the first time, Delori was deeply shocked and looked around.

So this is where the inner disciples of Shrek Academy study?

Han Ruoruo took the information about the newly admitted inner court students to find Zhang Lexuan. Knowing that Yu Tianhuang and Wang Yan had important matters to attend to, Ning Tian didn't continue to pester Xu Zihuang and left together with Han Ruoruo.

Besides Ye Guyi, she also wanted to see Tang Ya and talk about some private topics between girls.

Only Xu Zihuang and Wang Yan remained, leading Dai Luoli towards the training ground.

Chapter 356 Blood Tiger and the Classic Reappearance

As is customary, Shrek Academy's holiday begins shortly after the annual Poseidon's Blind Date Festival concludes.

Both inner and outer court students have a one-month vacation. Outer court students need to cultivate diligently during the vacation to prepare for the promotion assessment the following year. Inner court students, on the other hand, have much more freedom and do not have as many assessments.

Those who have passed through layers of selection to enter Shrek Academy's inner court are all elites. For them, the most suitable assessment is the surveillance mission.

For every student in the Inner Academy to graduate from Shrek Academy, the primary requirement is to complete at least thirty surveillance missions during their time at the academy. The combination of regular academic studies and the high-pressure surveillance duties inevitably leads to mental fatigue by the end of the semester.

Shrek Academy held this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event to help the inner disciples relax and enjoy their month-long vacation.

Many students in the inner courtyard choose to go home during holidays or travel to relax.

Poseidon Island seemed to have returned to its former tranquility. The training ground, as smooth as if cut by a knife, was deserted.

Wang Yan looked at Dai Luoli seriously and said, "Release your martial spirit first."

"Yes." Dai Luoli finally recovered from the shock of entering Poseidon Island and immediately responded respectfully without any hesitation.

Xu Zihuang and Wang Yan stopped at the edge of the training ground, while Dai Luoli came to the center of the training ground alone and released her martial spirit under the watchful eyes of the two.

As three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, rose from beneath his feet, Dai Luoli's muscles swelled, fine white hair grew on them, and his hands transformed into a pair of sharp tiger claws, gleaming with a cold light.
