Bai Yi and Nanmen Yun'er didn't understand how Moyuan knew Mu Jin would give them a soul bone later, but after hearing Moyuan's words, they only felt warmth in their hearts.
What kind of great captain was this? Not only did he lead them to win the championship, but he also gave the two soul bones he obtained to his teammates without any hesitation.
He even went further, giving them two bottles of Xuan Water Pills, worth a fortune, as rewards...
Bai Yi accepted the Xuan Water Pills with a solemn expression and bowed deeply to Moyuan.
"Brother Mo, I have nothing more to say. If Brother doesn't dislike me, Yi wishes to pledge allegiance..."
"You brat, get lost quickly." Moyuan felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. Such words couldn't be spoken carelessly, as they carried negative repercussions.
"Understood, Brother!"
When the office door was closed and the footsteps of the few people disappeared, Moyuan suddenly felt a gentle breeze blow through the room.
"Long time no see, Dean Yan."
Moyuan turned to look at Yan Shaozhe, who was standing by the window with a refined aura, and spoke calmly. He was not surprised by Yan Shaozhe's appearance.
"Very keen observation skills," Yan Shaozhe said with admiration in his tone. But then he seemed to recall something and spoke with a forced smile, "However, classmate Moyuan, you seem a bit dishonest."
Moyuan feigned ignorance. "Ah? Dean Yan, don't slander me. What did I do that was dishonest?"
Yan Shaozhe was amused to the point of laughter seeing Moyuan's act. "Do you remember I gave you a piece of Starry Sky Iron as payment, asking you to suppress Xiaotao's evil fire if it got out of control within two years?"
"I remember. Isn't she doing well all this time? Is there a problem?"
"Of course, there's a problem! You didn't tell me in advance that the cold energy you infused into Xiaotao's body could suppress the evil fire for two years!"
Moyuan also smiled. "Dean Yan, why don't you listen to what you're saying? I directly suppressed the evil fire for two years in one go, allowing Senior Sister Xiaotao to not worry about the evil fire for two years, thus not affecting her cultivation. Is there a problem with that?"
"Of course..." Yan Shaozhe suddenly lost his voice. The word 'of' that was about to come out of his mouth was immediately swallowed back.
From any angle, what Moyuan did was indeed flawless. He said two years, and it was two years. It was just that the agreed-upon phased suppression had become a one-time completion, and a one-time two-year suppression was even better.
The problem was that Yan Shaozhe wanted to foster the relationship between Ma Xiaotao and Moyuan by suppressing the evil fire! If you suppress it for two years all at once, what the heck is there to foster!
Yan Shaozhe was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he couldn't directly reveal his calculations regarding Moyuan.
"Of course, there's no problem."
Yan Shaozhe gritted his teeth as he looked at Moyuan, who had a faint smile on his face. He then sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and started talking about other matters.
"From the core disciple and class assignment lists just now, you must have sensed something was wrong. This is not the academy deliberately suppressing you, but because the academy has decided..."
"Decided to let me enter the inner court, right?"
"Correct."
Seeing that Moyuan had guessed it directly, Yan Shaozhe was not surprised. The academy was this big. Not having his name on the core disciple list could be understood as suppression. If his name wasn't on the class assignment list either, there were only two options: expulsion or entering the inner court.
Even an idiot could figure out the academy's arrangements for Moyuan. It could only be to enter the inner court to study.
"After discussions among the higher-ups of the inner court, we have decided to let you directly enter the inner court to study and become an inner court disciple."
As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe took out a finely crafted inner court school uniform and handed it over. Moyuan accepted it directly. After all, wasn't his purpose for coming to Shrek Academy to climb higher and obtain resources?
His only concern now about entering the inner court was his true martial soul, Black King's Blood, being discovered. But as long as he was careful, there shouldn't be any problems.
After putting away the school uniform, Moyuan saw that Yan Shaozhe hadn't left yet and seemed to have more to say, so he asked, "Does Dean Yan have anything else?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious, and he said solemnly, "The second matter. After several days of discussion and deliberation by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, and finally decided by my teacher, we have decided to reward you with a soul bone, to show the academy's regard for you."
A soul bone?
And it was a soul bone decided by Old Mu to be given?
Moyuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. He had initially thought that given Shrek's usual stinginess, letting him enter the inner court would be the only thing. But they were actually planning to give him a soul bone?
After speaking, Yan Shaozhe felt a pang of pain as he brushed his hand over the ring-like soul tool on his left hand. Then, a golden light cluster the size of a human head, emitting a warm and gentle light aura, was revealed in the office.
The moment this light cluster appeared, Moyuan couldn't help but want to frown and show displeasure. But upon seeing Yan Shaozhe standing in front of him, he quickly maintained a normal expression.
Seeing that Moyuan showed no unusual reaction, Yan Shaozhe secretly nodded. Then, he pointed a finger to break open the golden light cluster, revealing a crystal-clear golden right arm bone shaped like a short sword.
"This is a seventy-thousand-year-old right arm bone, taken from a seventy-thousand-year-old light element soul beast—the Sacred Feather Golden Eagle. It is called the Light Rain Sword Right Arm Bone and is a treasure of my teacher."
"Furthermore, this soul bone has not been absorbed by anyone yet. The soul power within is still immense. After absorption, it can at least increase one's soul power by three levels."
Damn, did Shrek Academy have a problem with their ancestral graves today? Why were they so generous?
No, that's not right. A light-attribute soul bone... is this a test?
Moyuan suddenly understood. Besides trying to win him over, Shrek Academy was using this Light Rain Sword Right Arm Bone to test whether his martial soul had any problems.
After all, for an evil soul master to absorb a light-attribute soul bone would be no different from seeking death.
It was just a pity that Moyuan indeed disliked light and holy attributes, but the fundamental reason was that the Black King's Blood within him was not yet sufficient.
True pure-blooded dragons would not be restrained by light and holiness. The only things that could harm them were blades, swords, and strength.
In the Dragon Race worldview, dragons are gods. How could gods in this world be restrained by light and holiness?
Understanding this, Moyuan didn't hesitate at all. He directly took the soul bone and then sat down on the ground.
"Student Moyuan thanks the academy for its regard. Since this soul bone is so precious, to be safe, I'll absorb it right here. I hope Dean Yan can watch over me."
Yan Shaozhe was stunned by Moyuan's impulsive behavior, but he then smiled. Moyuan's actions had completely put their minds at ease.
"Alright! Absorb it directly. With me here, no one can disturb you!"
Moyuan adjusted his state for a while. After confirming there were no issues, he carefully placed the Light Rain Sword Right Arm Bone on his right arm. As his soul power flowed within him, Absorbing the Light Rain Sword Right Arm Bone, commencing...
Finally finished writing the new student assessment plot. It really gave me a headache to write; it's both boring and difficult. I can't think of anything to write about the protagonist besides a few overwhelming moves.
Next, we'll directly enter the Inner Court, followed by a small instance. I've foreshadowed this instance earlier, so readers who pay close attention might be able to guess it.
After that, I'll speed up the pace and enter one of the other storylines, such as the Hall of the Body, the Sacred Spirit Cult, or the Sun Moon Empire. You can all guess which one it will be.
Finally, I wish all my fellow book lovers a Happy New Year's Eve!
