Like this tone?
Gu Yuena looked around at his outfit and couldn't help but chuckle, "Forget it..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, knocked Xiao Xiao on the head, and said angrily, "What tone does that guy like have to do with me?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Xiao Xiao tskted his tongue, "Is this the legendary authority who is obsessed with bystanders?"
"Can you just tell me what you have to say?"
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "I won't tell you. I want to see who of you two gets the idea first."
Gu Yuena was speechless, "Forget it if you don't tell me. This school uniform skirt is too short. I'll change it."
"Hey? Do you really not know how you feel about the squad leader?" Xiao Xiao asked unwillingly.
"I don't know and I don't want to know." Gu Yuena replied expressionlessly.
In the dormitory, Xia Linyuan had an expressionless face, and his golden eyes were like an ancient well with no ripples, so deep that no one could figure out what he was thinking about at this moment.
Meanwhile, Sea God Island is on the Sea God Pavilion.
At this time, everything was quiet in the Sea God Pavilion conference hall.
Ten people were sitting around a long oval table, and sitting at the main seat on the innermost side of the long table was the supreme leader of the entire Shrek Academy, Dragon God Douluo--Mu En.
The convening of Sea God Pavilion Meeting is nothing more than the Second Martial Soul demonstrated by Huo Yuhao in today's upgrade assessment - Ice Jade Empress Scorpion with the attributes of Ultimate Ice Martial Soul provoked Yan Shaozhe, even if he made trouble with Sea God Pavilion Meeting, he would not want to give up such a top-notch owner of Martial Soul to the Soul Guidance Department.
Even if he took the initiative to give up Huo Yuhao to the Soul Guidance Department, even if he took the initiative to give up this First Martial Soul because of the former's talent and First Soul Ring, he is the owner of Body Martial Soul - the eye.
But this time, after seeing Huo Yuhao Ultimate Ice's attributes Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Martial Soul, even the First Soul Ring she showed on the surface is still the white ten-year-level Spirit Ring. Yan Shaozhe means that she can't learn Soul Tool's heresy, even if Huo Yuhao ends up dead in their hands.
Martial Soul is the foundation of Spirit Master, and Yan Shaozhe firmly believes in this.
Therefore, on Sea God Pavilion Meeting, regarding the ownership of Huo Yuhao, it represents Outer Court Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er of the Martial Soul Department and Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo representing Soul Guidance Department held a heated debate, and no one gave in to the other.
As for whether a Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Martial Soul owner with the Ultimate Ice attribute is worth it, they are no longer human beings, but only certain people themselves have to know better.
Just when Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department were facing each other tit for tat, with neither one giving way to the other, Mu En finally spoke.
"What was the goal of the Shrek Academy when we were first founded? Yan Shaozhe, please tell us."
Yan Shaozhe replied respectfully, "Shrek Academy does not cultivate ordinary people, only monsters."
"Yes, we only cultivate monsters, not ordinary people, and your respective reasons have been explained very clearly, but have you ever thought about the possibility that through this opportunity, we can truly cultivate monster-level talents?"
"According to what you said, this child studied at the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department at the same time in one year without falling behind in the course, and both performed at a genius level. So what are you still fighting for? Wouldn't it be better to let him double major?"
"Ah?" Whether it was Yan Shaozhe, Cai Mei'er, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, as well as other seniors, they were all shocked by Mu En's astonishing words.
Mu En continued, "I know what you are worried about. If this child's grades begin to decline in the future, don't put too much pressure on her and let her make her own choices."
"Yes." Several people responded respectfully.
"Qian Duoduo." Mu En shouted again.
"After what happened today, Xia Linyuan, you Soul Guidance Department should stop hiding it. He can break through Four-Ring Soul Ancestor within this year, and can also cultivate Soul Engineer to level four, which already shows his talent."
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's open mouth could almost fit an egg in. He suddenly slapped his gum and stood up, "Old Qian, when did you come up with your idea for Xia Linyuan?"
"What do you mean I set my sights on someone else?" Qian Duoduo said proudly, "This kid is Duke Molong who personally contacted me and asked me to take him to Soul Tool. Look at how open-minded Duke Molong is. He is not like some people who lie on us Soul Guidance Department, suck our Soul Guidance Department's blood, and bite us back."
"Okay." Mu En interrupted them, "I also went to watch today's promotion assessment, and I also heard what he said. This kid is destined not to stay in the Shrek Academy. He is not only a student of the Shrek Academy, not only a young general of the Star Luo Empire, he is also the guardian of the entire Douluo Continent in the future."
"We have enjoyed peace and quiet for so long under his protection. It's time for us to repay him. Let's go and don't let the guardian who started guarding this world at a young age lose his heart to us."
"Yes!"
After learning that he and Huo Yuhao had become the only dual-core disciples of the Shrek Academy in history, Xia Linyuan didn't have any trouble.
He was well aware of this outcome.
Whether it was the first grade who went to practice at the Soul Guidance Department during the break from school, or during today's upgrade assessment, he could clearly feel that there was a gaze behind him watching his every move.
And who else could the owner of this gaze be than Mu En?
He did not conceal his movements from Mu En. Even when he took Huo Yuhao to the Soul Guidance Department, he did not conceal the existence of Carlos from Mu En.
It's not that he can't hide it, it's that he doesn't even bother to hide it.
Why would he waste so much effort to hide something that would be known sooner or later?
Early the next morning, since Martial Soul Department's second-grade promotion assessment had not yet ended, formal classes did not begin.
Less than a day after the upgrade assessment at the Martial Soul Department, Xia Linyuan ushered in the upgrade assessment at the Soul Guidance Department.
"Linyuan, what do you think Soul Guidance Department's upgrade assessment will be?" Huo Yuhao asked with some anxiety and some expectancy.
Xia Linyuan said indifferently, "Shrek Academy's purpose has always been that only actual combat can best test the students' ability, so besides actual combat, what else can it be."
Huo Yuhao said in surprise, "Soul Guidance Department's upgrade assessment is also a practical combat? Martial Soul Department's side is a soul master, but what kind of actual combat assessment is Soul Guidance Department's side?"
"We'll find out later." Xia Linyuan was obviously too lazy to waste time explaining so much to her.
As they talked, the two of them walked into the experimental area and soon arrived at Laboratory No. 12.
Laboratory No. 12 is not only a place for Fan Yu to teach, but also the main assessment place for all Soul Guidance Department students to conduct upgrade assessments.
Today's Laboratory No. 12 is not as clean as usual. When Xia Linyuan and Huo Yuhao arrived, more than twenty students had already arrived in advance.
These twenty-odd students looked to be three or four years older than the two of them, and a few looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, but most were fifteen or sixteen years old.
In the battle area of the test area, two students were fighting at this time.
Completely different from the upgrade assessment of the Martial Soul Department, the combat method of the Soul Guidance Department's upgrade assessment is mainly achieved by relying on Soul Tool.
Each of the two students had a light mask shining on them, which seemed to be a kind of light emitted by Defensive Soul Tool. At the same time, they were attacking each other, and there were several groups of light and shadow floating in the sky, as if they were monitoring them.
After the assessment of this group was over, Qian Duoduo, who had been observing the performance of the students in the upgrade assessment, said, "Linyuan, come here, you go to the next group, Huo Yuhao, you are behind Linyuan."
"Yes." Xia Linyuan and Huo Yuhao both nodded slightly.
Hearing that Qian Duoduo personally opened the back door, the students who were preparing for the upgrade examination turned to look at the two of them.
They were surprised when they saw that Xia Linyuan and Huo Yuhao looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
It's not surprising that they showed this attitude. After all, Xia Linyuan and Huo Yuhao usually study with Qian Duoduo in Qian Duoduo's exclusive No. 1 laboratory, so it's not surprising that these Soul Guidance Department students don't know them.
What surprised them was not just that they didn't know them, but that they were only 12 or 13 years old. In the eyes of people like them who basically transferred to the department when they were in the third grade, the focus of their studies at this age should be on the Martial Soul Department, and obviously they would not be Soul Guidance Department students! Why did Dean Qian think of letting them take the assessment?
Qian Duoduo explained to them, "The upgrade assessment for our Soul Guidance Department is very simple, it is a traditional one-on-one battle. The only requirement is that the Soul Tool used by everyone during the battle must be inspected by the teacher and made for themselves."
"Destroying the opponent's defense means victory. During the assessment, I will protect you with a mobile soul shield."
Xia Linyuan took a cursory glance at the assessment site and said calmly, "There is no need to move the soul shield. Teacher, you just need to focus on my opponent."
Qian Duoduo was stunned, "Huh?"
Xia Linyuan said nonchalantly, "Since it is an actual combat competition, the existence of the mobile soul shield will only affect my performance, just like on the battlefield, my comrades suddenly overflow with sympathy and prevent me from killing the enemy who I have beaten to the point of losing combat effectiveness."
"Uh..." Everyone was speechless. These two things seem to be different in nature, right?
Little did they know that to them, the two things were indeed different in nature and incomparable, but to Xia Linyuan, the two things were of the same nature.
In a war, if your sympathy suddenly overflows and you want to prevent me from killing the enemy, then I will not condone your sympathy, so I will have to kill you together.
This is a war, a conflict for our own interests. Your existence infringes on my interests, so I have no choice but to solve it with you.
Qian Duoduo said, "What about your own defense?"
Xia Linyuan glanced at everyone present and said indifferently, "These losers don't have the ability to hurt me."
Hearing Xia Linyuan call them trash, these twenty or so students couldn't help but feel secretly angry. However, due to the presence of Qian Duoduo, they couldn't show it, so they could only glare at Xia Linyuan.
Hearing what Xia Linyuan said, Huo Yuhao, Qian Duoduo, and Fan Yu in the distance couldn't help but smile bitterly, but did not refute his words.
Only a few of them knew that Xia Linyuan really had the capital to call everyone present trash.
After all, not everyone can practice to the Soul Ancestor level at the age of thirteen and become a Level 4 Soul Engineer from scratch within a year.
Qian Duoduo smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, in that case, as you wish, I don't need to move the soul shield to protect you. If you find that you can't resist, remember to call for help."
"Yes."
Xia Linyuan walked slowly into the assessment area, but did not immediately assemble the Soul Tool he had made.
At this time, looking at the back of Xia Linyuan walking into the assessment area, the Soul Guidance Department student discovered that the decoration that Xia Linyuan casually pinned to the hem of his clothes was actually a Level 4 Soul Engineer badge.
No way? This arrogant guy is actually Level 4 Soul Engineer?
The students who found Xia Linyuan's Level 4 Soul Engineer badge pinned to the hem of their clothes, Soul Guidance Department were stunned.
This guy looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, but he is already a Level 4 Soul Engineer? Impossible, right? Impossible, right? If this is really the case, then people really have the capital to say that they are trash.
The student who came back to his senses couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Why are the gaps between people so big?
"Shi Yuming, Cheng Longxian, Zhu Jingde..." Qian Duoduo turned around and called six names in succession to the students who were waiting for the assessment.
Six students, five men and one woman, walked out quickly and bowed respectfully to Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo said carelessly, "The six of you are going together. The goal is to defeat him and teach this arrogant little guy a lesson. If you win, you will pass this year's upgrade assessment."
These five men and one woman were all fifteen or sixteen years old. They couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, and they were all a little confused.
Their eyesight was not very good and they did not see the Level 4 Soul Engineer badge Xia Linyuan pinned to the hem of their clothes.
Shi Mingyu touched the back of his head and said, "Dean Qian, this junior looks like he is only thirteen years old. He shouldn't have been in contact with Soul Tool for a long time, right? It's not good for us six third- and fourth-grade seniors to bully him."
Qian Duoduo immediately cursed and said, "When did you guys have such good tempers? People have already called you trash, but you are still here telling me that it's not good for the six of you to bully one of you? If someone said I was trash, I would even have this place demolished, believe it or not?"
"Okay, come up here! Otherwise, I will fail the exam."
