Unexpectedly, she was taken advantage of after she had just finished advising Huo Yuhao.

What an injustice.

Zhang Lexuan closed her eyes, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, enduring the bone-melting, tingling pleasure.

The silver moon cast a white veil over the moon goddess, and on the tranquil Sea God Lake, no one could hear her soft singing.

The next day, the knockout stage proceeded as scheduled, and as expected, they encountered another strong team. However, Huo Yuhao had no time to ponder whether this was a coincidence or something else.

He recalled Jiang Nannan's hesitant demeanor this morning and felt a little puzzled.

Is something on Nan Nan's mind?

Huo Yuhao asked the girl, and her behavior became even stranger, but she refused to say anything to him.

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to keep this matter to himself.

Meanwhile, in the Seagod Pavilion in the center of Seagod Island at Shrek Academy, all the elders were once again gathered together and sat around an oval table.

Moon was in the lead position, still lying on the deck chair, hidden in the shadows.

Unlike the last meeting, this time a beautiful young woman stood quietly at the end of the round table; it was Zhang Lexuan.

Compared to before, her complexion was rosy, and her gentle temperament had gained a touch of mature charm and allure.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Shao Zhe, you will chair the meeting," Mu En's gentle voice rang out.

"Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Teachers, esteemed elders, Shao Zhe has convened this meeting today for a momentous matter concerning the future of our academy. My disciple, Ma Xiaotao, has finally rid herself of the evil fire within her martial soul, allowing the Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul to evolve into the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul, the Fire Phoenix. Today, we are here to discuss the nurturing of this child," Yan Shao Zhe said proudly.

"Has Xiao Tao's martial spirit finally evolved?" Elder Lin, sitting in the main seat on the right, revealed a hearty expression. "This is a blessing for the academy. We should discuss how to cultivate this child in the future."

The other elders also showed surprise on their faces.

Every ultimate martial soul is a treasure. You should know that even Shrek Academy, the only institution with experience in cultivating ultimate martial souls, has only produced a handful of titled Douluo with ultimate attributes in the past ten thousand years.

Elder Xuan put down his wine gourd, coughed slightly, and said, "As for the cultivation of the ultimate martial soul, let's proceed as before. At least prepare a 100,000-year soul ring and a set of fire-attribute soul bones for this child. There can be no other attributes, otherwise it will easily cause elemental conflicts."

"However, these can be discussed later. What I'm curious about is how Xiao Tao evolved the Evil Fire Phoenix. According to the academy's records, only that person back then successfully evolved their martial soul using the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, but still didn't reach the level of the ultimate fire. What method did Xiao Tao use to not only eliminate the evil fire in her martial soul, but also evolve it into an ultimate fire martial soul?"

Yan Shaozhe was silent for a moment, then said, "It's a magical herb. Lin'er's disciple used the magical herb to help Xiao Tao's martial soul evolve successfully."

Chapter 211. Mu En: Xuanzi, you're going too far.

211.

Elder Xuan took a sip of wine, his cloudy eyes looking at Xian Lin'er. "Little Fairy, I remember you broke through to level ninety-seven a couple of days ago. You must have used a magic herb, right?"

Xian Lin'er paused for a moment, knowing that denying it was useless at this point, so she simply admitted it.

"Yes, thanks to my disciple who happened to find a perfect immortal herb for me, I was able to break through."

The elders' eyes showed surprise. They knew that the sooner the immortal herbs were consumed, the more effective they were, but the immortal herbs had little effect on titled Douluo.

But now, Xian Lin'er has actually used the immortal herb to increase her level by two, and by two levels above level ninety-five. This is about the same difficulty as directly increasing twenty levels from below level ninety.

They've been stuck at levels 95, 96, and 97 for decades. If only they had a suitable immortal herb—

Some of the elders have changed their minds.

Elder Xuan then turned his gaze to Cai Meier and said, "Meier, if I'm not mistaken, you've broken through to level ninety-six. You must have also consumed the immortal herb, right?"

Cai Meier said, "That's right, Yuhao did give me the immortal herb. I only got this because of Xiaotao; Yuhao gave me one of the few immortal herbs he had."

Yan Shaozhe stared wide-eyed at Xian Lin'er, wondering how his cultivation level had suddenly fallen to the bottom among the four deans.

Her cultivation and strength were once undisputed as the number one among the four deans, but now...

Cai Meier noticed Yan Shaozhe's gaze and rolled her eyes at him. "What are you looking at? Do you still want the immortal herbs? Yuhao doesn't have any more. Who told you to target Yuhao like that? Naturally, you didn't get any of those immortal herbs. Instead, they were given to me, Xiao Tao's master's wife. Speaking of which, I should thank you."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes twitched, and his heart twitched as well, a feeling of regret welling up inside him.

If I had known this would happen, I would never have done it. How could I have been so foolish back then!

Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er exchanged a knowing glance.

Both of them, without prior agreement, concealed the number of immortal herbs in Huo Yuhao's possession.

A glint of light flashed in Elder Xuan's cloudy eyes as he asked Xian Lin'er, "Little Fairy, does your disciple still have any immortal herbs?"

All the elders looked at Xian Lin'er with anticipation. Even if they couldn't eat the immortal herbs now, keeping them to nurture the next generation would be excellent. At least it could give one of the younger generation the talent to become a titled Douluo.

Elder Zhuang, who was standing to Elder Xuan's left, said, "Your disciple has extra immortal herbs. The academy can exchange them for other resources. Within the academy, there are quite a few treasures that are no less valuable than immortal herbs. Perhaps there are some that are suitable for your disciple. Lin'er, you can seriously consider it."

Elder Xuan stuffed another chicken leg into his mouth and said, "What's there to consider? As a student of the academy, isn't it his duty to contribute to the academy? The academy imparts knowledge, teaches him cultivation, and provides him with resources. If he knows how to be grateful, he should offer up the immortal herbs he possesses. The academy will not treat him unfairly."

Upon hearing Elder Xuan's words, Xian Lin'er frowned slightly and said calmly, "For ordinary people, encountering even one immortal herb is already a stroke of incredible luck. My disciple is already blessed with extraordinary fortune to possess just a few. He needs to consume them for himself, for me, for Mei'er, for Xiao Tao, and for some of his confidantes. Where would he find any left over?"

At the end, a look of realization flashed in Zhang Lexuan's bright eyes. It seemed that Jiang Nannan, Tang Ya, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Tao had all taken the immortal herb.

She spends two or three hours a day in the outer courtyard, which allows her to sense changes in the cultivation levels of these people.

She wasn't envious at all. Her cultivation level was already close to level ninety, and unless she encountered a particularly suitable immortal herb, it wouldn't be of much use to her.

However, she was still very indignant and embarrassed. The reason was naturally that Huo Yuhao had searched for her in the void last night. Hearing that name naturally brought up such feelings.

Elder Xuan clearly didn't believe Xian Lin'er's explanation. If Huo Yuhao didn't have many immortal herbs, how could he have happened to encounter immortal herbs that were extremely suitable for both Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er, two Title Douluos?

Elder Xuan frowned, put down the wine gourd in his hand, and said, "Little Immortal, you are not only your disciple's teacher, but also the dean of the academy. You must consider things from the academy's perspective. Having your disciple hand over more immortal herbs is also for the future of the academy. Moreover, what if he also has an immortal herb that can heal Elder Mu's injuries? The situation on the continent is complicated now. If we have such an immortal herb, the future of the academy will be guaranteed."

"Xiao Xian, as the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, you can't have so many selfish thoughts."

Elder Lin, sitting in the right-hand seat, said solemnly, “Lin’er, ordinary immortal herbs are not that important to the academy. If he is unwilling to exchange with the academy, the academy will not force him. But if there are healing immortal herbs, I hope you can persuade your disciple to exchange with the academy. The academy will not treat him unfairly.”

Xian Lin'er remained silent, unsure whether her disciple possessed such a magical herb.

She actually hoped to have disciples. Mu En was her mentor, and she also hoped to heal Mu En's injuries.

After a moment of silence, Xian Lin'er said, "I will ask Yuhao if there is any way to cure the teacher. As for the immortal herbs, I'm afraid there are only one or two left. My disciple used them all up for the people around him."

Elder Xuan curled his lip and said, "Since you insist that the immortal herbs are gone, then they are gone. But what I'm curious about is, where did your disciple obtain these immortal herbs? Our academy has accumulated for ten thousand years, and with the inheritance of the Sea God, we've only found a handful of immortal herbs. How could your disciple have found so many? Could it be that he found some treasure land where immortal herbs grow? Or perhaps he has some method for cultivating immortal herbs?"

"I think it would be better if we explored these issues more deeply. In either case, it would be of great benefit to the future of the academy."

Xian Lin'er's anger surged instantly, her eyebrows furrowed, and she slammed her hand on the table, saying, "Elder Xuan, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that just because my disciple has found such a treasure land or possesses the method to cultivate immortal herbs, you are going to force my disciple to hand it over and then take it for yourself?"

"If the academy dares to threaten my disciples, I, Xian Lin'er, will take them away from the academy."

Upon hearing this, the Sea God Pavilion fell silent. Some of the elders frowned in displeasure, some remained expressionless, and some expressed worry, each with their own reaction.

Just then, a gentle voice rang out, "Lin'er, sit down."

"Yes, teacher." Xian Lin'er glared at Elder Xuan before sitting down again, her expression serious and her body ramrod straight.

"Sigh!" Mu En sighed softly, "Xuanzi, your thinking is too greedy and too extreme."

“But, if the academy—” Elder Xuan was about to argue.

“Xuanzi!” Mu En’s voice suddenly became more forceful. “You must understand that we are an academy. For an academy, a continuous stream of geniuses is always more important than rare and precious materials.”

"Yes." Elder Xuan obediently put away the wine gourd and chicken leg in his hand, wiped the oil stains on his dirty clothes, and then sat up straight.

Chapter 212 Xian Lin'er: Elder Xuan, you are the most selfish person.

212.

Mu En continued, "The reason why our academy has been able to grow from ten thousand years ago to become the number one academy on the continent is not because our academy occupies any treasure land or possesses many rare and precious materials. Rather, it is because our academy has produced seven gods."

"Therefore, all the geniuses on the continent consider it an honor to join our academy, and our academy has a continuous stream of geniuses and monsters."

"What opportunities the students in the academy have are their own fortune, their good luck, and the academy's good luck as well. How can the academy plunder opportunities from its students?"

"Once it happens, it happens again. And once it happens, it happens countless times."

"If this continues, which genius will still be willing to join our Shrek Academy?"

"Therefore, no matter what opportunities a student possesses, the academy's mission is to help him seize and develop those opportunities, and to cultivate him into a pillar of the academy, understand?"

Most of the elders understood the underlying meaning in Elder Mu's words.

It's good if students have opportunities. The academy only needs to keep the students engaged, and then the students' opportunities will naturally become the academy's.

If they can win over Huo Yuhao, and he has some treasure land or method for cultivating immortal herbs, wouldn't he still be able to become an academy member in the future?

Thinking of this, the expressions of the elders softened.

Mu En's expression returned to its leisurely state, and he said in a gentle voice, "Shao Zhe, Mei'er, Xuan Zi, and Elder Song, the four of you are responsible for coming up with a plan to cultivate Xiao Tao, at least ensuring that this child possesses a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone. Once she breaks through to the Soul Douluo level, she will have the strength of a Title Douluo, and at that time, she can be listed as a candidate for the Sea God Pavilion. Does anyone have any objections?"

The elders nodded in agreement, all agreeing with Moon's decision.

Moon continued, "Now that you have all approved of this plan, let's move on to the second proposal for today."

"I have decided to designate Huo Yuhao as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master in the next generation. Do you all agree?"

Upon hearing Mu En's words, the elders exchanged glances, and Elder Xuan was the first to speak up.

"Elder Mu, I'm afraid that won't work. The successor of the Sea God Pavilion is the future of the academy. At the very least, he should have a spirit of dedication to the academy. But that kid Huo Yuhao is a bit too selfish. Letting him serve as the successor of the Sea God Pavilion would probably not be a blessing for the academy. And Shao Zhe mentioned this point before. As the dean of the outer academy, he obviously understands that kid better."

As he spoke, Elder Xuan turned his gaze to Yan Shaozhe.
