Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 116 Aftermath

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the inner court disciples quickly calmed down.

Soul Masters must hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings in order to improve their cultivation. The conflict between Soul Beasts and Soul Masters has a long history. Moreover, this is a Soul Beast with a cultivation of more than 200,000 years. How could it be expected to cooperate with them willingly?

Having become an inner court disciple, one's ability to adjust one's mindset is naturally quite good, and one quickly stops overthinking.

As for Wang Yan, after his initial surprise, he didn't have many thoughts. He knew that his talent was average and he had long since stopped valuing cultivation.

"Alright, let's leave this item at the Sea God Pavilion for now. After all, it's a soul beast with over 200,000 years of cultivation. Only the Sea God Pavilion has the ability to suppress it should something happen to it. The Soul Guidance Department can come here to study this level nine soul tool."

After saying this, Mu En stopped talking. Xuan Zi nodded and then looked at the inner court disciples.

"You've all worked hard this time, Wang Yan."

"Yes, Elder Xuan." Wang Yan bowed slightly.

"Your qualifications are already sufficient. This Soul Battle Tournament can be considered your promotion test. After you graduate from the outer academy with this level of experience, you can come to the inner academy to teach."

"Yes." Wang Yan nodded excitedly upon hearing this.

"From this moment forward, all other inner court disciples will be granted the title of 'Shrek Seven Devils' by the academy until the end of the next Soul Battle Tournament. As for the soul bones and gold soul coins you brought back from the Star Luo Empire, you can divide them among yourselves after you go down."

All seven of them were regular disciples, so their expected victory naturally didn't bring them many rewards. Most of the perks they received had already been earned before they even participated in the Soul Battle Tournament. After all, from the moment they were selected as preliminary team members, the treatment they enjoyed was far beyond what ordinary disciples could achieve.

Even for the other inner court disciples besides Wang Nan, the title of "Shrek Seven Devils" was already the greatest reward.

"Alright, you're all inner court disciples. You all know the rules of the Sea God Pavilion: you must not mention it to anyone else after you leave. Go back and rest."

"Yes." Wang Nan and the others responded together, and then stepped forward to temporarily put away the soul bone.

Watching Wang Nan and the others leave, Mu En slowly spoke.

"How did those outer court disciples perform?"

"The performance of the older students was average, but among the three kids with twin martial souls, only Huo Yuhao's performance was slightly better."

"How's Xiaotao? How's Xiaotao?"

"As expected of the ultimate fire, its strength and cultivation are top-notch, but it was a little too hasty in its attack."

"Is that so?" Mu En sighed deeply. "Xuanzi, my time is running out."

"Old Mu, you—"

Mu En raised his hand to interrupt Xuan Zi, "At our level of cultivation, we are already very clear about our physical condition. I only have one year left."

"I asked you to accept the Star Luo Empire's proposal not just for this soul beast. A year from now, the Holy Spirit Cult will definitely take action, and the Douluo Continent needs an organization that can stand against it. We Shrek Academy members are still too few."

Moon raised his head slightly, recalling that night many years ago.

That night, Feng Ling came to Shrek Academy with her old friend Long Xiaoyao. With his strength, he was able to use the power of the Golden Tree to keep Long Xiaoyao there.

However, after fighting with Long Xiaoyao, he did not sense any evil soul master power from him. In the end, he let Long Xiaoyao leave and entrusted him with another matter.

Mu En snapped out of his reverie and continued, "One year later, let Le Xuan and Xiao Tao enter the Sea God Pavilion ahead of time. Once Le Xuan's soul power level exceeds level 95, let her succeed as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion."

"But Xiao Tao's martial soul is already the ultimate fire; wouldn't it be more suitable for her to do it?"

Moon shook his head. "She is indeed strong enough, but leading Shrek Academy requires more than just strength."

"The closer we get to this point, the more I feel something more mysterious. The appearance of three twin martial souls in Shrek Academy is already unusual, and the continent is about to undergo a great change. Xiao Tao's personality is still a bit unstable."

"Not only her, but if Shao Zhe doesn't make any more changes in the next year, then we'll have him step down as dean of the Martial Soul Department."

As Mu En spoke, a person came to mind. A young yet composed nature, a vision beyond his years, and superior strength and talent—this was the person he considered most suitable to become the Sea God Pavilion Master. But…sigh.

Mu En spoke to Xuan Zi as if he were making his final arrangements, only mentioning another name at the very end: "That child from the outer courtyard is named Huo Yuhao, right? Bring him to Seagod Island so I can see him."

……

Wang Nan and the others came down from the mountaintop where the Sea God Pavilion was located. Wang Yan stopped and looked at everyone. "Alright, I should go back to the outer courtyard now. You've all worked hard this past month. Go back and rest early."

Not long after Wang Yan left, Wang Nan felt several gazes fall on him.

Although they were all inner court disciples, soul bones were still a rare commodity for them. Wang Nan didn't keep them in suspense and took out several soul bones right there.

"I'll pass on these for now. I'm different from you guys. I'm a Soul Master, and I don't really need the abilities of these Soul Bones," Ye Xiaosheng said after glancing at them.

Everyone else's attention was focused on Wang Nan, Ma Xiaotao, and Dai Yueheng. Although they participated in the Soul Fighting Tournament together, the three of them undoubtedly made the greatest contributions.

"I don't need it either," Wang Nan shook his head.

He already has the right arm bone. Of the three soul bones, he can only absorb the skull and the right leg bone. The ability provided by the right leg bone is not as good as his first soul skill, and the skull only has one soul skill that helps to enhance mental power. Although it is a rare skull, its ability is still somewhat useless to Wang Nan.

As for Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao, their situations are somewhat similar to Wang Nan's; they already have soul bones in some parts of their bodies.

Finally, after some discussion, the right arm bone, right leg bone, and skull were accepted by Ma Xiaotao, Xixi, and Gongyang Mo respectively, while the gold soul coins were divided equally among those who did not obtain soul bones.

Back in his dormitory, Wang Nan took out a carving knife that looked like a blue crystal from his pocket. A rich life force emanated from it, faint yet continuously washing over his body.

For him, the 250,000 gold soul coins he finally received were secondary; compared to that, the carving knife was the biggest gain.
