The Inner Court Teacher had no choice. In just a short time, Qian Chaoyun had actually killed so many Evil Spirit Masters.

Such a record was too dazzling.

Back then, Dai Yueheng could only barely win, while Qian Chaoyun could kill them with ease.

There might be reasons for attribute suppression, but that was also part of strength.

After stepping off the stage, the Inner Court Teacher immediately called Qian Chaoyun over and praised him, "Good, good, good! Qian Chaoyun, you are indeed very strong. You are the second monstrous student after Ma Xiaotao. I don't even know how to evaluate your strength right now."

"It was just luck."

Qian Chaoyun cupped his fists and replied politely.

At this time, he had to be humble. With so many Inner Court Students present, he had to give the seniors some face.

Before he had fully grown, Qian Chaoyun often warned himself to keep a low profile.

The Inner Court Teacher nodded in satisfaction. He really liked such humble students.

Not arrogant or impatient, truly a piece of unpolished jade.

At this moment, Dai Yueheng suggested, "Why don't we let Chaoyun join us on an Inspection Group mission? We happen to have one in the next few days. It'll be preparation for his entry into the Inner Court."

Before Qian Chaoyun could speak, the female students began to object.

Hua Yao put her hands on her hips and reprimanded, "Dai Yueheng, junior disciple just arrived at the academy a few days ago, and you want him to join us on an Inspection Group mission? That's too dangerous."

"In my opinion, it's better to go after some time. After all, there's no rush."

Wu Ming's brows furrowed, and she echoed, "Dai Yueheng, you scoundrel, I can see you have no good intentions. How can you let Chaoyun go on that kind of mission? It's not safe at all."

"I just thought about how little brother's martial soul happens to counter Evil Spirit Masters, so it was a sudden idea. Why are you all acting like your fur is standing on end?"

Dai Yueheng explained, feeling helpless.

Being handsome could indeed be a meal ticket, especially if one was both handsome and strong. In the eyes of girls, they were hot commodities.

He believed that within the Inner Court, few were more handsome than him.

But when compared to Qian Chaoyun, Dai Yueheng admitted he was inferior.

At this moment, the Inner Court Teacher interrupted their conversation and said, "Let the academy handle everything! Nothing can be rushed. Everything must proceed step by step."

The Inner Court Teacher really knows how to talk... Qian Chaoyun commented inwardly, then responded, "Thank you all for your care, senior brothers and senior sisters. I will consider the Inspection Group mission. No one hates Evil Spirit Masters more than I do, and my soul power increases every time I kill an Evil Spirit Master. I enjoy carrying out missions."

Everyone was very happy to hear this.

This junior disciple Qian Chaoyun really knows how to speak. With just a few words, he balanced everyone's feelings.

Dai Yueheng and the other male students were initially hostile, thinking Qian Chaoyun wouldn't dare to accept the mission and would just hide and develop.

But unexpectedly, he was more eager for quick success and profit than they were, dreaming of killing Evil Spirit Masters.

Finally, everyone went about their own business.

Qian Chaoyun also left the City of Slaughter to eat at the Inner Courtyard Cafeteria, and coincidentally, to cultivate his sibling-like affection with Zhang Lexuan.

He clearly knew who was good to him and who was just using him.

Currently, only Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao treated him like family, so he needed to foster that relationship more.

In the blink of an eye, a year and a half passed.

On Lake Heart Island, Zhang Lexuan looked at the cultivation mission in her hand and let out a long sigh of relief. She said to Qian Chaoyun beside her, "Very good. In this past year and a half, you've completed almost all the cultivation tasks. Each time, you've exceeded my expectations."

"It's all thanks to Senior Disciple Sister's excellent teaching."

Qian Chaoyun humbly cupped his fists in a salute, extremely polite.

In the entire academy, she was the only one he treated with such courtesy.

Zhang Lexuan wasn't like a teacher; she was more like family from the original owner's memories, taking care of him meticulously.

Whenever there were good things, she gave them to him first.

Even every time he went out on missions to hunt Evil Spirit Masters, she would secretly follow behind to protect him.

Zhang Lexuan smiled gently and said, "Still playing these games with me? You little rascal are so slippery. But it has its benefits, after all, there are quite a few fanatical students in the academy who reject the Sacred Angel Spirit."

"Now, after a year and a half of cultivation, you're already a level fifty-seven Soul King. There are few opponents for you in the Inner Court. However, you're not a true Inner Court Disciple. Do you have any complaints?"

Qian Chaoyun shook his head: "No complaints. It's a good thing for me."

He really didn't want to become an Inner Court Disciple or be given the title of Shrek Seven Devils.

His achievements so far were entirely due to his own efforts, with no connection whatsoever to the Shrek Resident Elders.

As for cultivation resources, those were all provided by Zhang Lexuan.

Ever since he became a disciple of Elder Xuan in the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Chaoyun had rarely seen this nominal teacher and didn't truly consider him an Esteemed Teacher.

"That's good."

Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief, worried that Qian Chaoyun might feel unbalanced.

It was a good thing that this little fellow could see things so openly.

One and a half years of cultivation, advancing from level 44 to level 57 Soul King, such a heaven-defying improvement is considered unique within the academy.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qian Chaoyun should be the third Soul Emperor to lead a team in this All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Competition.

A Soul Emperor at the young age of 14, his talent rivals that of Elder Mu from over two hundred years ago.

Even Elder Mu commented that the Sacred Angel Spirit was too terrifying. As long as enough Evil Spirit Masters were slain, a Titled Douluo might even appear before the age of twenty.

Suddenly, Zhang Lexuan spoke softly, "These few days are when the academy recruits new students. According to Elder Mu's arrangements, you are to attend classes in Freshman Class 5. Originally, with your talent and strength, you wouldn't need to, but I thought it would be good for you to gain some experience."

"After the freshman class assignments are complete, you will attend Class 5, but you can come to the Inner Court anytime. You are considered part of the Inner Court anyway, and your Inner Court assessment is coming soon."

Qian Chaoyun listened and nodded, "Senior Sister Lexuan, you'll miss me, right?"

Zhang Lexuan was taken aback, then revealed a gentle smile, ruffled Qian Chaoyun's hair, and replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, I'll miss you. But you should be careful of a few people."

"Xu Sanshi, Beibei, and Dai Huabin. Try to avoid conflicts with them."

Qian Chaoyun was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Lexuan said gently, "You are already a level 57 Soul King, which is Inner Court strength. There are no Soul Kings as powerful as you in the Outer Court. Getting into conflict with them would be bullying the younger ones."

Qian Chaoyun instantly understood.

Zhang Lexuan was afraid that he might accidentally beat up some of the geniuses in the Outer Court too badly, especially since they all had powerful backing.

He, on the other hand, had no backing. Nominally, he was Elder Xuan's disciple, but only he knew that Elder Xuan had not provided any assistance.

Truly worthy of being his Old Esteemed Teacher, the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Then, Zhang Lexuan gave a few more instructions and let Qian Chaoyun go to the Outer Court to familiarize himself. There were many activities on the day new students enrolled.

Qian Chaoyun nodded and left the Inner Court.

It was time to meet Huo Yuhao, the son of destiny of the Peerless Era. He wondered what kind of spirit ring Huo Yuhao had obtained without Tian Meng.
