Xuan Zi took another sip of his drink and said without turning his head, "A few years ago, the inner courtyard students had a mission to go to the Xingdou Great Forest. During the mission, the twelve inner courtyard students and the team leader got separated and accidentally ran into a 100,000-year-old soul beast."
"In the end, eight of the twelve died in the battle. When the leader arrived, the remaining four were all seriously injured, and three of them were on the verge of death. But under such difficult circumstances, they managed to kill the 100,000-year soul beast. The student who was less injured than the other three absorbed the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone."
"I tell you all this because I want to tell you that crisis can come at any time, and you must have the awareness to not be afraid of life and death crisis. Those four students are now Soul Douluo masters, and they can even fight against ordinary Title Douluo alone."
Listening to Xuan Zi's words, except for Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei and the others also felt particularly heavy-hearted. There is only one description for the inner court students on the mainland, and that is the cradle of the strong.
Anyone who graduates from the inner courtyard will at least achieve the Soul Douluo level in the future, but according to Master Xuan, eight people died in that battle. What a tragic situation it was.
If these eight people were still alive, with their performance in fighting against hundred thousand year soul beasts, it would not be a problem for them to become Titled Douluo in the future. They are eight younger generations with the talent to be awarded titles.
In a place that Beibei and others could not see, tears flashed in Xuanzi's eyes. He was the team leader back then, and it was he who caused the most tragic death of students in the history of Shrek Academy.
To this day, he still regrets it in his heart.
It was like a demon in his heart, trapping him at the ninety-eighth level, making it impossible for him to break through.
Taking a deep breath, Xuan Zi said in a deep voice: "There are some things that you will not understand until you join the inner courtyard, why the inner courtyard students are the real Shrek students."
Along with that incident, Xuan Zi's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Bei Bei and others. Bei Bei knew what the inner courtyard students represented, and he frowned, but the other five people didn't know. From this point of view, the inner courtyard students seemed to be in danger at any time.
No wonder they are so powerful, this is all forged through death and blood.
There was a hint of contempt in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He was speechless about Xuan Zi's actions. As a Super Douluo, how could you get separated from a group of students under you instead of standing nearby and observing at all times?
In his opinion, Xuan Zi was most likely drunk at the time. Otherwise, with the spiritual perception of a Super Douluo, it would be almost impossible for a group of Soul Saint students to get separated.
You asked him why he knew that Xuan Zi was drunk and missed the mission. The answer is very simple. Some time later, when they went to exterminate the evil soul master, the messenger of death, Xuan Zi was also drinking and having a great time. He only arrived when Yao Haoxuan was killed tragically after half of his body was blown off.
If you regret it, you should change, but in the end you still behave the same way, even though you say nice things.
This is also because there is no other level 98 Super Douluo in Shrek Academy except Xuan Zi. Otherwise, with Moon's strength, Xuan Zi would definitely be severely punished.
Moon En knew very well that he would not live long, and that someone would definitely be needed to take up the responsibility after his death. Xuan Zi was not very capable of being the eldest brother, but since he was the strongest, there was nothing he could do.
"Now there are only seven of you left, and it's time to tell you what the selection competition is for." Xuan Zi calmed down his inner sadness, turned around, and looked at everyone.
"I believe you all know that the five-year All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is about to begin. This time the competition will be held in the Xingluo Empire."
"As for the trials, we will select seven people as the reserve team and follow the main team to Xingluo City to compete."
Upon hearing this, except for Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, everyone else looked slightly surprised. They obviously didn't expect that the selection competition was used for this.
Xuan Zi said calmly, "You are the reserve team, and you won't have many opportunities to play. You are mainly here to gain experience and prepare for the competition in five years. By then, you will become the main team. At the same time, becoming the main team means that you will be given the honorary title of the Shrek Seven Devils."
"Shh."
When they heard the words "Shrek Seven Devils", everyone except Huo Yuhao's eyes widened.
Huo Yuhao is a time traveler after all, so he takes this title lightly. But it is different for the natives of Douluo Continent like Beibei.
The fame and glory of the Shrek Seven Devils in the entire continent's history are top-notch, and they are definitely something that any Shrek student wants to obtain.
And now this title is before them.
"Very surprised, right?" Xuan Zi smiled slightly, "But this title is only temporary. The last time the permanent Shrek Seven Devils title appeared was four thousand years ago."
After hearing this, no one felt disappointed. It was good enough to be a temporary position.
"Ahem." Xuan Zi coughed, disrupting everyone's thoughts. He said in a deep voice, "Although as a reserve team, you have few opportunities to play, but it is not zero. But no matter what, there is only one team you should focus on, and that is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."
"Master Xuan, why is this?" Beibei asked puzzled.
Others also looked over, wanting to know.
Xuan Zi said in a serious tone: "Four thousand years ago, the Sun-Moon Empire suppressed the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent. If it weren't for the Dean of Shrek Academy of that generation leading sixty Titled Douluo to fight back, I'm afraid Douluo Continent would have been renamed Sun-Moon Continent long ago."
"Even though they failed at the beginning, compared to the original three Douluo Kingdoms that were constantly suspicious of each other due to internal strife, the Sun-Moon Empire never gave up its ambitions after that failure. They are lying dormant and constantly strengthening themselves."
"If there wasn't a Shrek Academy inserted on the continental plate, the Sun-Moon Empire would have launched a new war long ago. Now they don't dare to use a continental war to test the strength of our Shrek Academy, but they can test us through a college competition, so the Fighting Spirit Competition is the best platform."
"Since the Sun-Moon Empire was allowed to participate in the competition three thousand years ago, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has always been in second place, second only to our Shrek Academy. As soul guides have been incorporated into the rules of the competition, their strength has become stronger and stronger, gradually narrowing the gap with us. When they defeat us in the competition, the ambitions of the Sun-Moon Empire will be fully unleashed."
"Victory in the tournament will have a strong inspiring effect on the Sun-Moon Empire, and what we have to do is to suppress them. Even if you are not the main team and you will not meet them in the tournament, five years later, in the tournament held in the Sun-Moon Empire, you will be the absolute main force."
"So, this burden is heavy, and I hope you can bear it."
At the end, Xuan Zi's tone became more serious.
As if a real burden had been lifted off their shoulders, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong's legs were shaking slightly. After all, they were just two little girls who were about to turn thirteen years old.
Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan looked at each other, each with different feelings.
There was a hint of hatred in He Caitou's pupils.
Huo Yuhao was thinking about how to proceed five years later.
Xuan Zi said: "You must keep the period of the reserve team secret. If anyone leaks it, he will be disqualified immediately and his title of core disciple will be revoked. From now on, you must practice with me for one day every week. The main team will also arrive and you can get to know each other."
“Alright, let’s all go back and rest. Huo Yuhao will stay.”
Xuan Zi waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Just when everyone was about to go back to eat, Huo Yuhao spoke up, interrupting everyone's actions, "Master Xuan, I have a question. You just said that there are still three places to be selected from the eliminated students. What does this mean?"
Everyone stopped and looked on in silence.
Xuan Zi chuckled and said, "The competition will be held in the Sun Moon Empire in five years. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the competition, the academy's top management plans to add three more students from your class. Let's call it rotation. After all, injuries are inevitable during competitions."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao’s eyes flickered slightly. This thing was not in the original novel, and he didn’t know why it appeared.
Xuan Zi fixed his eyes on Huo Yuhao and thought to himself.
Boy, this quota is given to you by Mr. Mu.
You must seize the opportunity.
After the others left, Xuan Zi grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders and said, "Let's go. It's your turn to take action now."
Before Huo Yuhao could react, he felt the world spinning. The next moment, when he came to his senses, he had arrived at the beautiful inner courtyard.
"Follow me." Xuanzi put down the wine gourd and roasted chicken legs.
Huo Yuhao turned around and saw the three words "Sea God Pavilion".
He raised his eyebrows. Why did Xuanzi bring him to the Poseidon Pavilion?
But when Huo Yuhao entered the lobby on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion, he was stunned at first sight.
But I saw that besides Xuan Zi, there were several other people.
Mr. Song, one of the old elders, Mr. Lin, and Mr. Zhuang were all present.
Even his teacher Yan Shaozhe and his wife Cai Meir were there.
What is this for?
Huo Yuhao was puzzled, but he still bowed respectfully to everyone.
"Mr. Mu, I brought Yuhao here."
Xuan Zi spoke respectfully to the figure behind the curtain.
Huo Yuhao's eyes turned, and when the curtain was drawn, Moon En's old face was revealed.
"Here I am." Moon said with a smile, "Shaozhe, as this child's teacher, you go ahead and tell us."
Yan Shaozhe nodded solemnly and looked at Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, teacher has something to ask of you. Can't your Heavenly Eye absorb and contain special energy? Teacher hopes that you can try to absorb the evil spirit from your great master's body."
Huo Yuhao's heart moved, and he remembered that the reason why Moon En's body was so disabled was because of the Dragon Pill. The evil energy in it continued to wreak havoc, which was why Moon En's lifespan was so much shorter than Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.
As for the fatal battle with the poison, it would be painful at most, but never crippling.
"How about it, are you willing to give it a try?" Yan Shaozhe said in a gentle tone, "Teacher can use the shattering of your martial soul as a guarantee that when you absorb the evil spirit, you will never encounter any life-threatening danger. But when the evil spirit appears, the scattered breath will make your body very painful."
In fact, no one present had absolute confidence, for example, that Huo Yuhao’s Heavenly Eye could really absorb the evil spirit. They just seized the opportunity and didn’t want to let it go.
Shrek Academy cannot lose Mu Lao, just like the 3D District cannot lose...
White Dragon Wings...
Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered the White Dragon Wing soul bone that he had just absorbed not long ago.
At this moment, as if something had suddenly dawned on him, he instantly understood why this special soul bone appeared in the Treasure Appreciation Pavilion.
The dragon pill in Moon's body came from a white dragon.
It just happened to confront the White Dragon's Wings.
It turns out that the foreshadowing is buried here.
Give me a peach, give me a plum in return
Huo Yuhao immediately replied without any hesitation: "Disciple is willing."
Seeing this, everyone smiled.
"Good good."
Yan Shaozhe smiled lightly and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder.
The others stayed behind, while Moon, Yan Shaozhe and Huo Yuhao entered a special light curtain together.
When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again, what he saw was a large golden space. Golden light was emerging, but it was not dazzling and was rather soft.
"This is the soul power space of the ancient golden tree."
Moon En leaned on his cane and spoke gently, "I heard from Shaozhe that you, Yuhao, absorbed the evil fire of Xiaotao. I, an old man, wanted to ask you for help, but I had some concerns before. After checking for a while, I found a way that would not hurt you. So I came to ask for your help. I hope you don't mind."
“Grandmaster, you are too kind.” Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “If I am not mistaken, the white dragon wing is the key factor in avoiding damage.”
Seeing Huo Yuhao pointed out the key point, Moon couldn't help but smile, "You are really smart, kid. The White Dragon Wing soul bone is very useful, but whether you can successfully dig it out depends on you."
As he spoke, Moon glanced at Huo Yuhao mysteriously.
Huo Yuhao was slightly confused, but soon locked onto an extra element, which was the White Dragon Soul.
“But, why didn’t you, Grandmaster, use the White Dragon Wings soul bone in the first place?” Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully. If the White Dragon Wings could offset the damage caused by the evil spirit, then there would be no need to take this step.
“Your great-grandmaster already has an external soul bone in this position, and after years of fusion, it has long been his innate soul bone and cannot be replaced.” Yan Shaozhe explained.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao suddenly understood. No wonder this was the case.
Given Mr. Mu’s conditions, he will probably get a full set of soul bones.
"Master, let's get started now."
Huo Yuhao also wanted to see if the Heavenly Eye could absorb evil spirits. If it could, maybe he would be able to activate the power of the first star ring in advance.
While speaking, the space between Huo Yuhao’s eyebrows suddenly split apart, and a faint golden light emerged.
"That's fine, we won't waste any more time." Moon En looked deeply at Huo Yuhao's Heavenly Eye.
"Yuhao, you guide the process of absorbing the evil spirit." Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice.
“No problem.” Huo Yuhao nodded. “Grandmaster, you can activate the evil spirit to leave your body, and I will use my Heavenly Eye to pull it in and absorb it. As for Teacher, if possible, I hope you can activate the power of the Bright Phoenix to protect Grandmaster. After all, the evil spirit has been suppressed for too long. Once it leaves the body, I am worried that it will explode and hurt Grandmaster instead.”
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao’s arrangement, Moon En and Yan Shaozhe’s eyes lit up.
This guy not only arranged the process, he even arranged this point.
"I'll listen to you." Yan Shaozhe nodded.
“Grandmaster, let’s begin.” Huo Yuhao’s eyes turned serious.
Moon didn't waste any more words. The next moment, an extremely terrifying aura burst out. Huo Yuhao's breathing suddenly became rapid. If this aura did not have any murderous intent towards him, it would have killed him instantly.
At the same time, a high-pitched dragon roar swept through the soul power space of the ancient golden tree. Moon revealed an incomparably pure power of light. His eyes turned golden, and behind him, a huge holy dragon of light appeared, and a domineering aura that suppressed everything arose spontaneously.
At the same time, nine soul rings rose up under his feet, and their configuration was quite astonishing.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red.
Three hundred thousand year soul rings in one body.
"Yuhao, here I come." Moon En said in a serious tone. It was visible to the naked eye that a strange dark red light began to condense all over his body and then gathered towards his chest.
Moon's body trembled slightly a few times, and an acute pain that penetrated deep into his bones and soul began to spread throughout his body, but he endured it without even frowning.
Yan Shaozhe came behind Moon En and slapped his palms in the air. An equally powerful force of light appeared and enveloped Moon En. With this layer of power of the phoenix of light, as long as the evil spirit erupted uncontrollably, it could be suppressed back in an instant.
When the dark red evil spirit accumulated, and Moon's pupils and skin had already turned a strange dark red, Huo Yuhao moved.
He stretched out a finger and pointed it at Moon's chest. At the same time, his mind moved, and the third eye between his eyebrows suddenly released a terrifying suction force, and the golden light inside the third eye became extremely hot, like the real fire of the sun.
Along with the suction and heat, the evil spirit seemed to have encountered some terrifying existence and actually wanted to disperse and hide.
Seeing this scene, Yan Shaozhe and Huo Yuhao's expressions changed.
