Commendations, Ten Thousand Year Spirits

Tang Wulin and the others struggled into the elevator and left the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

The moment they stepped outside, they were startled. The area outside was already packed solid with people.

After they emerged, most of Mingdu's residents mocked them or looked at them with ridicule.

After all, before the fight began, Tang Wulin and the others had acted so arrogantly, daring to issue such a high-profile challenge.

Now that they had been decisively defeated, the crowd naturally wanted to vent the resentment they had felt from being looked down upon.

"Move aside!" Gu Yue's face turned icy as she let out a cold shout.

Her voice contained considerable spiritual power, and the people around them were genuinely intimidated for a moment.

However, it was quickly drowned out by noisy sounds, and not a single person made way.

All six of them looked grim. In their current condition, they truly had no way to deal with so many enraged people.

Just then, a floating soul guidance car suddenly descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of them.

"Get in. All of you." A cold voice rang out.

Wu Zhangkong's voice reassured them, and they hurriedly squeezed into the soul guidance car.

The soul guidance car shot into the sky and left the area directly.

The atmosphere inside the car was extremely heavy. After all, they had lost the match and damaged Shrek Academy's reputation.

More importantly, they had all failed their final exams, which meant they were about to be expelled from Shrek Academy.

Seeing this, Wu Zhangkong said coldly, "What kind of state are you all in?"

"Did you lose once and throw away all your fighting spirit?"

"They were almost all older than you, and they had one more soul ring than you. It was only normal that you lost."

At this moment, Wu Zhangkong's words carried a hint of consolation.

As soon as this was said, Tang Wulin and the others could not help raising their heads.

Tang Wulin said with a bitter smile, "Teacher Wu, it's not that we've lost our fighting spirit. It's that we're all about to be eliminated by the academy."

"And this match had too great an impact. We disgraced the academy."

Wu Zhangkong said without turning his head, "After your match start, the academy already called."

"Whether you won or lost, you only needed to return safely."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin and the others' eyes lit up. Didn't that mean they would not be eliminated?

"Don't celebrate too soon. You lost the match, and if you want to avoid elimination, you'll have to undergo an even harsher assessment." Wu Zhangkong directly poured cold water over them.

However, this cold water did not extinguish Tang Wulin and the others' enthusiasm. As long as they would not be eliminated by the academy, they could accept anything.

Wu Zhangkong said nothing more afterward and did not mention his intention to resign and take responsibility.

The reason this challenge against the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy had caused such a huge stir was entirely his own fault.

Before the challenge, he had investigated the spirit masters of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. In his view, the so-called Seven Shining Stars were no match for Tang Wulin and the others.

That was why he had been so confident in Tang Wulin and the others, and why he had issued such a high-profile challenge.

He had never expected that Jiang Yi, who had always been the weakest, would suddenly display such powerful strength during the battle.

In terms of strength, he had crushed Tang Wulin and directly beaten him until he could no longer fight.

Wu Zhangkong drove the soul guidance car and left Mingdu directly.

Meanwhile, at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Jiang Yi and the others had already been summoned to the conference room.

The conference room was already filled with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy's higher-ups.

Sitting in the very center was naturally the old man who had previously sat on the platform.

He was Xu Qing, the dean of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

Jiang Yi and the others stood in the center of the conference room. The higher-ups looked at them with pleased and satisfied smiles.

Most of their gazes were focused on Jiang Yi, because his performance in the battle just now had been far too stunning.

That strength, speed, defense, and outrageously powerful vitality were completely beyond what a Four Ring Soul Sect should possess.

"You performed exceptionally well in this match. You defeated Shrek Academy's people and brought honor to the academy."

"After discussion, we have decided to give you some rewards."

"Each of you may go to the academy's Treasure Pavilion and choose one Ten Thousand Year Spirit for free." Xu Qing said with a smile.

This reward made all six of Jiang Yi and the others reveal delighted expressions. Ten Thousand Year Spirits were not cheap.

Giving each of them one for free was already an exceedingly valuable reward.

Xu Qing then offered them a few more words of encouragement before dismissing Jiang Yi and the others.

Very soon, only Xu Qing and Director Lin Feng remained in the conference room for the higher-ups.

"Little Lin, you never told me Jiang Yi was this strong before!" Xu Qing said with a sigh.

Lin Feng revealed a bitter smile and said, "I had no idea either. Jiang Yi hid himself far too deeply."

Xu Qing smiled. In truth, he knew it was not Lin Feng's fault.

"After you return, directly raise Jiang Yi's compensation to the highest rank, equal to Long Chen's," Xu Qing instructed.

"Yes, Dean." Lin Feng agreed.

After Jiang Yi, Long Chen, and the others left, they chose to head together for the academy's Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion's style resembled the overall style of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. It was likewise full of mechanical flair.

It was a small three-story building made entirely of metal. As soon as Jiang Yi and the others arrived, the Treasure Pavilion's administrator came out to welcome them.

The administrator was a middle-aged man. He approached them with a smiling face. "Come with me, heroes."

Defeating Shrek Academy had brought them far more than fame across the continent.

It had also earned them the good feeling of the entire Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, and even all the residents of Mingdu.

Jiang Yi and the others followed the administrator directly to the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

Upon arriving on the third floor, Jiang Yi was immediately drawn in by the dazzling array of spirit items.

Every spirit item was placed in a specially made transparent box and embedded in the walls, allowing everyone to see them at a glance.

He had come here once before and had already found a spirit item he wanted. However, as an orphan, he did not have much money and simply could not afford it.

Even if he truly had the money, he could not spend it all on purchasing spirit items.

I can finally get my hands on that thing. Jiang Yi was delighted as well.

The administrator smiled at them. "Go ahead and make your selections. Once you're done, just call me over."

After saying that, the administrator was about to leave first.

However, Jiang Yi said, "Sir Administrator, I've already made my choice."

"You've already chosen?" The administrator was stunned.

"It seems you already had something in mind. Tell me its name, and I'll help you take it out," the administrator realized, smiling.
