Zhang Lexuan brought Bai Zhou to the inner court's training plaza.
It wasn't that Bai Zhou didn't know where Ma Xiaotao was—he just felt that disturbing her training might be a bit impolite.
But compared to being caught and interrogated by Zhang Lexuan, Bai Zhou felt that being impolite was much better…
As soon as they approached, Bai Zhou saw Ma Xiaotao.
At this moment, there was a cold and beautiful woman standing beside Ma Xiaotao.
One ice, one fire—seemingly mutually restraining, yet when working together, they could unleash incomparable destructive power.
That woman who controlled an ice-element Martial Soul was Ling Luochen.
Opposite them were five unlucky fellows, presumably the other five members of this generation's Shrek Seven Monsters.
Leading the five was a Soul Emperor with a White Tiger Martial Soul—this should be Dai Yueheng.
As for the other four, Bai Zhou didn't recognize them very well. Although they were part of this generation's Shrek Seven Monsters, they felt rather weak and unworthy of the name.
At this moment, both sides were still fighting intensely.
However, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen looked very relaxed, while the other five were struggling immensely, clearly being hammered down.
And anyone with eyes could tell that even without Ling Luochen taking action, Ma Xiaotao alone could single-handedly fight all five of them.
On the outer edge of the battlefield sat an old man dressed in coarse cloth, looking sloppy and unkempt.
At this moment, the old man was happily watching the battle, eating meat and drinking wine, letting out loud laughter from time to time—looking extremely strange.
Bai Zhou glanced at the sloppy old man and felt his scalp go numb. If he remembered correctly, this old man was Xuan Zi, a level 98 Super Douluo.
He looked sloppy, but his strength was beyond question—only his brain… might be a bit careless.
The moment Zhang Lexuan brought Bai Zhou over, Xuan Zi noticed the two of them.
"Whoosh—"
In the next instant, Xuan Zi vanished from where he was sitting and appeared beside Zhang Lexuan.
"Little Xuan, why are you here? And why did you bring along a little brat?" Xuan Zi raised an eyebrow slightly and then shifted his gaze to Bai Zhou.
"Lexuan greets Elder Xuan."
Zhang Lexuan hurriedly gave a respectful bow, then introduced him: "This little one is Bai Zhou, Dean Xian's disciple. Mm, the little fellow discussed in the last Sea God Pavilion meeting."
Although Zhang Lexuan hadn't attended the Sea God Pavilion meeting, as the senior sister of the inner court, she naturally knew far more than ordinary people.
"Oh? So it's this kid?"
Xuan Zi looked at Bai Zhou with some surprise.
He had attended the last Sea God Pavilion meeting, so he naturally had heard of Bai Zhou—the student who had drawn the attention of both the Martial Soul and Soul Tool system deans.
But he was lazy, and since Bai Zhou was a freshman, he hadn't gone to see him, planning to take a look during the freshman assessment instead.
He hadn't expected to see Bai Zhou in the inner court today.
"Xiao Bai, this is Elder Xuan, the dean of the inner court. Hurry and pay your respects!" Zhang Lexuan gently nudged Bai Zhou, signaling him not to be rude.
"Student Bai Zhou greets Elder Xuan."
Although he was grumbling internally, Bai Zhou didn't dare be too arrogant. After all, this old man had a strange temperament—he really didn't dare offend him.
"Eh? Not bad, kid. At such a young age, you've already reached level 40!"
The moment Xuan Zi looked at Bai Zhou, he sensed Bai Zhou's cultivation. His dim old eyes finally lit up with a trace of brilliance as he curiously sized Bai Zhou up.
When he had last looked at Bai Zhou's information, it still said he had just advanced to level 30. And now, after such a short time… he had directly reached level 40???
Reaching level 30 at age twelve wasn't rare at Shrek Academy.
But reaching level 40 at age twelve—and doing so in just one month, advancing from level 30 to level 40!
Such a genius could be said to have broken Shrek Academy's thousands-of-years-old records—truly a monster among monsters!
"What?! Level 40???"
Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan beside him was also shocked.
She hadn't been able to tell Bai Zhou's Spirit Power level, only thinking that his foundation was solid and his control over Spirit Power extremely strong, which was why she admired him.
But she never imagined that this kid was already a level 40 quasi–Soul Ancestor!
"Sigh… that girl Lin'er actually hid so much…"
Xuan Zi muttered subconsciously.
Xian Lin'er must have known about this, yet she hadn't reported it—and had even stopped Bai Zhou from entering the inner court…
Although Bai Zhou entering the inner court to carry out missions was indeed a bit too early, leaving such a monster to be raised casually in the outer court was truly a waste.
"This time, I came to find Senior Sister Xiaotao to ask her to take me to obtain my soul ring."
Bai Zhou explained his reason for entering the inner court.
"Aren't you Lin'er's student? You even rejected Shaozhe's offer to take you as a disciple. Now you're asking Shaozhe's disciple for help—what exactly are you up to, kid??"
Xuan Zi was instantly confused. His brain, long filled with alcohol, didn't work very well.
"Ahem, my teacher is a bit busy, so…"
Bai Zhou coughed lightly, looking somewhat awkward.
He couldn't exactly say that he was afraid of being dragged into the woods by Xian Lin'er in the Star Dou Forest and squeezed dry…
Even if he said that, whether anyone would believe him was another matter.
To protect the academy's reputation and avoid stains on it, Xuan Zi might directly slap him to death and destroy the evidence…
"Busy? What could be more important than a student? That girl is becoming more and more outrageous!"
Hearing this, Xuan Zi immediately grew angry.
Although he knew that Xian Lin'er was currently crafting her ninth-grade soul tool, preparing to break through and become a ninth-grade soul engineer—
Crafting a ninth-grade soul tool could be delayed; it wasn't a big deal.
But Bai Zhou's cultivation couldn't be delayed. With Bai Zhou's talent, every delay would cause tremendous waste to his potential!
This was simply squandering talent! Xian Lin'er was far too irresponsible!
After ranting for a while, Xuan Zi finally looked at Bai Zhou and asked, "Kid, what kind of soul ring do you need? I'll take you to the Star Dou Forest right now to get it."
"Ahem, let's forget about that…"
Hearing this, Bai Zhou nearly choked on his own saliva.
Xuan Zi's unreliability was well-known to everyone.
Bai Zhou felt that even bringing a dog along would be safer than bringing Elder Xuan.
Who knew what kind of trouble this old fellow might stir up halfway…
He definitely wouldn't entrust his safety to him.
"Kid, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on this old man?!"
Sensing Bai Zhou's extreme reluctance, Xuan Zi's face immediately darkened as he glared at him.
"No, no, no. I mean, Elder Xuan, you're busy with important matters. This little thing shouldn't trouble you. I'll just ask Senior Sister Xiaotao to take me instead…"
Bai Zhou quickly explained.
"You brat, you're clearly looking down on this old man!"
As a level 98 Super Douluo, Xuan Zi saw straight through Bai Zhou's thoughts. Feeling both baffled and insulted, he was thoroughly displeased.
If there weren't so many people present, he would have already taken action to teach this little brat a harsh lesson.
