Inner Court, Lake Heart Island.
Qian Chaoyun's Inner Court Disciple assessment concluded, and Mu En personally conferred the Inner Court Disciple status.
The Resident Elders also highly praised Dai Yueheng's performance. Dai Yueheng's defeat in that state proved the value of Shrek's Inner Court Disciples.
Unfortunately, he was ultimately no match for Qian Chaoyun.
The second strongest in this generation's Inner Court belonged to Qian Chaoyun.
As for who was the strongest, and why they lost to Qian Chaoyun, the Resident Elders remained silent.
Dai Yueheng's defeat was also unexpected, and it further confirmed one point: the Qian Family's Sacred Angel Spirit was indeed stronger than the Evil-Eyed White Tiger.
Fortunately, the academy did not expect Dai Yueheng to carry the banner; instead, they focused their attention on Qian Chaoyun.
To the Resident Elders, children without parents had the strongest sense of belonging to the academy, and these were the ones they aimed to cultivate.
At this moment.
In the Inner Court Disciple dormitory.
Qian Chaoyun got up from his bed and opened his eyes. He heard many Inner Court Disciples on the island discussing his battle, chattering amongst themselves.
"I can't believe Dai Yueheng lost. He's the second strongest in this generation's Inner Court, and Qian Chaoyun defeated him in less than two and a half years. The continent truly has an abundance of monsters."
"Anyone can lose. Ma Xiaotao lost too."
"Tch, you call that a loss? Kid, have you forgotten how Ma Xiaotao, in her rage, couldn't even be suppressed by a Soul Sage? This Young Master can tell with a snap of his fingers that Ma Xiaotao likes Qian Chaoyun and deliberately went easy on him."
"Sigh, too strong! I never expected such a monster to appear in our generation."
"..."
Beside him were his Old Esteemed Teacher Xuan Zi.
Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao, and the Senior Disciple Sister Zhang Lexuan whom he had been thinking about.
Elder Xuan was eating a Chicken Drumstick, his mouth almost splitting to his ears, happier than he could express.
In just a year and a half, his good disciple had earned him a lot of face.
Now, he could stand tall in front of the other Resident Elders.
However...
He truly hadn't taught Qian Chaoyun anything; the kid was simply too outstanding.
It was a pity that he only had such a disciple.
It would be great if there was one more person to give him face.
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan leaned in front of Qian Chaoyun and said softly, "Junior Disciple Brother, you are truly amazing. I didn't expect you to defeat Dai Yueheng. Now you are the second person in the Inner Court of this generation. Senior Sister is proud of you."
"But... don't be so reckless next time. It would be bad if something happened. Fortunately, Elder Zhuang treated you in time, and none of you were seriously injured."
Qian Chaoyun felt a warmth in his heart and responded with a smile, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your concern. I will be careful next time."
Beside them, Ma Xiaotao pouted and said, "Senior Disciple Sister, you didn't see it. Brother Chaoyun was so magnificent. Even I lost to him. He wasn't lenient when he fought me."
Qian Chaoyun said, "That's because you are too strong. I could only win by giving my all."
Ma Xiaotao turned her head away, not wanting to deal with this guy.
He just knew how to say nice things. After hearing them too much, she really didn't want to get angry at him anymore.
Zhang Lexuan, caught in the middle, said helplessly, "Xiaotao, you really are something. You're already a Senior Sister, and you're still jealous. If Qian Chaoyun fought you with the same attitude he used against Dai Yueheng, you would be unhappy then too."
Ma Xiaotao pouted and remained silent.
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe stroked his beard and took out a soul bone from his Storage Soul Tool, handing it to Qian Chaoyun. "This is your reward for the Inner Court disciple assessment. After our discussion, we, the Resident Elders, have decided to give you a Hundred Thousand Year Light Dragon Horse Soul Bone."
"The value of this soul bone is priceless on the continent, and it perfectly matches your Light Attribute."
Qian Chaoyun was a little stunned.
It's really... a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
The academy wasn't playing word games with him.
Is this really the style of Shrek Academy? Why does it feel a little fake for some reason?
Illusion, it must be an illusion.
This is just a tactic by the Resident Elders to win him over, to make him loyal to Shrek and become a dog of eternal glory.
Elder Xuan threw out a chicken drumstick bone and shouted, "Kid, why aren't you quickly accepting it? This soul bone was left behind by our Shrek ancestors after their passing."
Qian Chaoyun quickly reached out and caught it. "Thank you, all the Resident Elders."
Yan Shaozhe smiled with satisfaction.
This child is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
Ma Xiaotao beside him showed an envious expression. This was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, a truly priceless treasure.
However, thinking about Qian Chaoyun's contributions to the academy over the years, she could accept it wholeheartedly.
Number one on the Inner Court mission board: Qian Chaoyun.
After a moment of silence, Yan Shaozhe spoke, "Your spirit power is already level fifty-nine, just one spirit ring short. Coincidentally, the academy is organizing an expedition to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings these few days. You can go along then."
Qian Chaoyun immediately nodded in agreement.
Following that, Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan left Lake Heart Island and returned to the Sea God Pavilion to report.
At this point, only Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao remained.
Zhang Lexuan spoke gently, "There are still a few days until your Sixth Spirit Ring. You can rest for now. However, you haven't eaten for several days. Senior Disciple Sister will take you to the Inner Courtyard Cafeteria."
"Okay."
Qian Chaoyun got up, got dressed, and then went to the Inner Courtyard Cafeteria to eat with Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao.
Since returning from his mission, he had rarely given himself any time off.
After completing the Inner Courtyard mission, Qian Chaoyun's burden had finally lessened considerably.
Arriving at the Inner Courtyard Cafeteria, Qian Chaoyun ordered three meals and sat down to eat with Senior Disciple Sister.
While eating, Qian Chaoyun curiously asked, "Senior Disciple Sister, where is Dai Yueheng? Why haven't I heard you mention him? It seems he disappeared after the battle."
Ma Xiaotao suppressed a laugh and said, "What, others are afraid of you, and you want to chase after them to settle the score?"
Qian Chaoyun wanted to say that he didn't mean it that way; he was just asking about Dai Yueheng's situation.
Zhang Lexuan picked up some food and said gently, "Dai Yueheng is in seclusion. I'm afraid the damage you inflicted on him this time was not small. He might challenge you again when he comes out of seclusion, so you should be prepared."
"The White Tiger Duke only has two sons. Dai Yueheng definitely won't be able to swallow this insult. Your cultivation cannot be slackened either. It's best to fuse that Hundred Thousand Years Bright Spirit Bone before the Soul Hunting expedition to increase your spirit skills."
"At that time, you and Dai Yueheng might even compete for the position of Vice Captain for the second expedition, so a battle is inevitable."
Ma Xiaotao said indignantly, "If Dai Yueheng acts like a scoundrel, This Old Woman will definitely beat him until he's crawling on the ground, making him know what pain is."
Zhang Lexuan smiled gently.
This silly girl Xiaotao, her heart is truly entirely set on Qian Chaoyun.
Qian Chaoyun nodded and continued to bury his head in his food.
As for Dai Yueheng's challenge, he didn't take it to heart, because he was destined to surpass others and become a true powerhouse.
A strong person never looks back.
Not long after.
The three finished their meal and left the Inner Courtyard Cafeteria separately.
Zhang Lexuan had other matters to attend to, so she let Ma Xiaotao and Qian Chaoyun return to the Inner Courtyard to cultivate together.
On the way back.
Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said, "Seeing you and Dai Yueheng fighting desperately, I was so scared you would get hurt because the gap in your strength was too big."
Qian Chaoyun looked back and smiled, "In the end, I still won, and I will win in the future. If I had a Sixth Spirit Ring, he wouldn't have been my opponent from the start."
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was a little moved.
He was so confident, he never thought he would lose from the beginning. No wonder he grew so fast.
Is this the confidence given by the Sacred Angel Spirit? As expected of one of the few God-Tier Martial Souls on the continent.
Not long after.
The two returned to Lake Heart Island.
It was already night, and the lake surface shimmered.
Ma Xiaotao turned back and said, "Then I want to give you a reward too."
"What reward?"
Qian Chaoyun thought, if it was Whale Rubber, he didn't need it.
The next moment, Ma Xiaotao gently leaned her face against his, gave him a light kiss, and then turned away with a blush, saying, "Don't misunderstand, this is just a small reward from your Senior Sister."
Qian Chaoyun touched his cheek, not expecting this kind of reward.
She was too proactive.
Just then, their bodies suddenly froze. They saw Ling Luochen approaching not far away with a pile of Healing Potion.
Ling Luochen happened to witness this scene.
Clang!
Everything in her hands fell to the ground.
