Generous Rewards
Soon after, Yue Guan arrived at Wang Feng's room. Batuer and You Wulong tactfully left. They both knew Yue Guan's identity. Although Yue Guan gave them a very ordinary feeling, they couldn't help but feel fear towards Titled Douluo.
After the two left, Wang Feng asked, "What happened to those people being killed?"
I don't know.
"We didn't do it?" Wang Feng asked, not because he didn't believe Yue Guan, but to confirm.
"They're just a few Soul Grandmaster; the Spirit Hall doesn't need to bother with them."
"It is indeed a bit beneath him." Wang Feng nodded. He believed that it was not the Spirit Hall that was behind it. After all, those people had not threatened him, and it was not worth it just because they challenged him.
"It seems someone is deliberately targeting us! Uncle Yue, how's your investigation going? Have you found any leads?"
Yue Guan shook his head. If they had found out anything, they probably would have already taken action; intercepting and killing the Holy Son was a major undertaking.
Although the Spirit Hall has branches all over the continent, Spirit Hall is a behemoth and extremely dangerous to many poor people.
However, for those major powers and the two great empires, they might not even look down on the Spirit Hall.
But is the Spirit Hall really as weak as people imagine? No one can answer that question with certainty, since the Elder Hall has not appeared since the previous Pope abdicated.
Many people speculate that the Elder Hall and the Clear Sky Sect had a fierce battle that resulted in both sides suffering heavy losses. The old guys in the Elder Hall are all recuperating, but the Clear Sky Sect has gone into seclusion, so this can only remain a conjecture.
However, the Spirit Hall's Spirit Hall calm over the years seems to have confirmed this rumor, diminishing its former deterrent power.
In fact, the Spirit Hall also wanted to do something, but it never had a suitable opportunity.
After a long silence, Yue Guan finally said, "The Holy Maiden will be able to successfully break through to level 30 in a few days. At that time, I need to accompany the Holy Maiden on her journey. If you need anything here, you can contact Gui Mei."
"So fast!"
Wang Feng looked at Yue Guan with some surprise. Hu Liena had said just a few days ago that it would be soon, but this was too fast!
"Don't leave the Holy Academy while I'm gone. Your Soul Power Level should be almost there, so just stay Holy Academy and cultivate!" Yue Guan instructed with some concern.
"Uncle Yue, don't worry! I don't plan to go out. I'll wait until I break through to level 30. I also need to meditate."
"That's good." Yue Guan nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
"Sigh, I need to hurry up and start cultivating!"
Wang Feng sighed. Logically speaking, at his age, he shouldn't be in too much of a hurry, but even if he lay in bed, people would still come looking for trouble. He had to make himself stronger now!
Wang Feng sat cross-legged on the bed and continued meditating, no longer thinking about anything else.
Five days later, Qian Renxue left the Holy Academy accompanied by Yue Guan. Of course, this had no impact on the Holy Academy, but it did inspire many students to improve.
Cultivation knows no time; three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Feng has finally leveled up again, and is now only one level away from level 30.
Qian Renxue hasn't returned yet, but she should be back soon. Wang Feng isn't worried, since she's a Holy Maiden, and the Spirit Hall would never let anything happen to Qian Renxue.
"Has anything happened at the academy lately?" Wang Feng asked, looking at Batuer and the other person who had just returned.
He was naturally asking about matters concerning himself or the Spirit Hall; he wasn't interested in anything else. Both Batuer and the other understood this and simply shook their heads.
However, You Wulong hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Boss, there's something I don't know if you'd be interested in. I heard that the Inner Court is going to form some kind of Shrek Seven Monsters team, and they'll be taught by the best teachers in the entire academy."
"What Shrek Seven Monsters? Did the dean create them?"
"The Shrek Seven Devils weren't created by the Dean; it was proposed by the new Vice Dean," Batuer replied.
Shrek Seven Devils?
Wang Feng became curious. He knew this new vice dean. He came with Liu Erlong and his name was Flender. He and Yu Xiaogang were known as the Golden Iron Triangle.
There was also Zhao Wuji, known as the Immovable Wisdom King, and many people praised their arrival. However, Wang Feng didn't pay attention to him, since he didn't need to attend classes.
"What's the meaning of these Shrek Seven Devils?" Wang Feng asked, looking at the two of them. Although he wasn't interested, he was curious.
"We're not entirely sure either. We've heard that Shrek is a monster's name, which roughly means they plan to train seven monster-like teams."
"That's right, that's pretty much the gist of it. They also said the Shrek Seven Devils will be placed on the Holy Ranking as an honorary title of the Holy Academy, and those who obtain this title will receive extremely generous rewards."
What reward?
Upon hearing the word "reward, "Wang Feng frowned slightly, because in the Soul Master World, there was only one reward that could be considered truly generous: Soul Bone.
Soul Master have limited ways to increase their Soul Power; there are no other methods. In addition, Soul Master are the most prestigious profession on the continent. The higher their strength, the more respect they will receive, and the higher their status will be. Naturally, fame and fortune will follow.
That leaves only Soul Bone, but according to Wang Feng's understanding, although the Holy Academy has a few Soul Bone, these Soul Bones were all provided by the Spirit Hall.
"I'm not entirely sure what the specific rewards are, but I've heard they're really good; the students in the top-tier classes are practically going crazy for them."
"I heard there might be Soul Bone reward!" Batuer said, looking at the two of them, his breathing slightly rapid.
Soul Bone are treasures even for Titled Douluo, let alone people their age.
Wang Feng frowned, his expression not good.
Although the Spirit Hall offered the Soul Bone as a reward for students with outstanding talent, these were, after all, the Spirit Hall's Soul Bone. If other forces did not offer any Soul Bone, then the ownership of these Soul Bone was not something that Yu Xiaogang could decide on his own.
Wang Feng's eyes darted around as he looked at the two men and asked, "How were these seven people selected? What are the requirements?"
"Boss, are you going? If you go, you'll definitely be selected."
"Tell me your requirements, and I won't go!"
Wang Feng glared at Batuer. This guy was so easily excitable. Didn't he realize that even if he wanted to go, would those people let him participate?
"Oh! There aren't many requirements. Any student from the inner academy can participate, but I heard that those with poor character are not eligible."
Good heavens, they were waiting for me here! Wang Feng shook his head with a smile. It was practically a nod to him; if it were anyone else, they would have been fired on the spot.
"Since there are no requirements, you two can go and participate!"
"The two of us! Boss, you're kidding! If it's just the two of us, they'll definitely give us a piece of their mind!"
"Who told you to insist on competing for those seven spots? Go and find out if the reward is definitely Soul Bone. Just try to confirm that information. You don't necessarily have to compete for those spots, although you can if you want."
"Well, we'd like to, but we don't have the capability."
The two smiled. Everyone wants Soul Bone, but you have to have the ability to get one.
