Chapter 54 The Shocked Elders.
"Of all the soul ring hunters this time, the one I'm most satisfied with is that student from the outer courtyard named Wu Xuan. That little fellow not only has top-notch talent, but he's also calm and collected in the face of soul beasts. At his age, he's not arrogant or impatient, and he helps his companions."
"It's truly a once-in-a-millennium stroke of luck that this little fellow has joined Shrek Academy."
"Haha! Xuanzi, this is the first time any of us elders have heard such praise from you. It's truly remarkable!" an elder laughed heartily.
Elder Xuan wasn't annoyed, and smiled calmly, saying, "That little fellow deserves my praise. If you had successfully absorbed a 30,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul ring with your fourth soul ring, I would have praised you in the same way."
"Fourth ring, absorbing a 30,000-year-old soul ring, and from a super soul beast like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?" The elders exclaimed in unison.
"More than that! That little fellow's martial soul evolved during the absorption of his spirit rings, successfully transforming into an ultimate attribute, the Ultimate Wind." Xuan Lao's voice rose noticeably at the end.
"An ultimate martial soul!" The elders exclaimed in unison.
"An ultimate martial soul, plus the advantage of twin martial souls. With that little fellow Wu Xuan around, Shrek Academy will be worry-free for three hundred years! Hahaha!" Xuan Lao took a swig of the fragrant wine from his gourd and laughed heartily.
"Twin martial souls, plus an ultimate martial soul, that little fellow's talent is truly unprecedented." One elder couldn't help but sigh.
"If he can truly join our Sea God Pavilion, it will probably be as Xuan Zi said, the academy will be worry-free for three hundred years, hahaha!" another white-haired elder exclaimed.
Yan Shaozhe, standing to the side, asked with some confusion, "Elder Xuan, isn't Wu Xuan's second spirit a mutated Soul-Breaking Spear? He comes from the Tang Sect. Although the Tang Sect has declined, it's not without the possibility of rebuilding. Are we confident we can keep him in the academy?"
Elder Xuan chuckled and said, "I've investigated that kid's background. His father is a Soul King-level expert who rose from humble beginnings in the Heavenly Soul Empire. But you should have heard of his mother. Her name is Yang Wenhui, a descendant of the Breaking Clan, and a graduate of Shrek Academy more than forty years ago. Afterwards, for some unknown reason, she left the Tang Sect. So that kid doesn't belong to any sect now."
"Furthermore, Elder Mu came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan back then, and he still became the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, didn't he? Shaozhe, your style of doing things still lacks a bit of magnanimity." Elder Xuan's tone even carried a hint of lecturing at the end.
"So it's Wenhui's son, he's grown so much. It's a pity Wenhui was dragged down by the Tang Clan back then, otherwise, with that child's talent, who knows how amazing he would be." An elder sighed nostalgically.
"Now that you mention it, I remember, Old Lin! You were Wenhui's homeroom teacher back then, weren't you?" an old man exclaimed in realization.
Hearing this, the old woman named Lin sighed and nodded.
"In that case, I agree to Elder Xuan's proposal." After understanding the situation, Yan Shaozhe no longer hesitated. In this case, Wu Xuan was truly worth their vigorous cultivation.
"Shaozhe! Don't rush, I have some good news for you." Elder Xuan said with a smile.
"Elder Xuan, please speak?" Yan Shaozhe's curiosity was piqued, and he asked respectfully.
Elder Xuan put down his wine gourd and said with a faint smile, "Wu Xuan's first soul skill has the effect of removing negative states of mental energy. I personally witnessed Wu Xuan use this soul skill to remove the Hell Roar of a three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff with 50,000 years of cultivation. You all know the power of Hell Roar, so I believe that Wu Xuan's soul skill has a very high chance of clearing away Xiao Tao's evil fire."
"Remove negative states of mental energy? Is what Elder Xuan said true?" Yan Shaozhe asked excitedly.
"Yes!" Elder Xuan took another sip of wine and smiled.
Seeing Yan Shaozhe's excited appearance, Mu En, who was lying on his back, smiled and said, "I have also observed that child carefully. Although his personality is somewhat stubborn and biased, he can feel compassion for ordinary people, which is enough to show his kindness. I also have high hopes for him. In that case, let Wu Xuan temporarily become the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master. We will not officially announce it yet, but will officially confirm it after Wu Xuan makes some contributions to the academy in the future. Let all the elders raise their hands to vote!"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
One by one, the elders raised their hands. The resolution was passed unanimously.
For Shrek Academy, an important Sea God Pavilion meeting had come to an end, and Wu Xuan's fate had been decided.
"Xuanzi! Is there anything else that you need to tell me privately after the meeting? Is it still because of that child?" Elder Mu asked with a smile, looking at Elder Xuan, who wasn't carrying a wine pot.
"Alas! As expected, nothing can be hidden from you." Elder Xuan took a deep breath and recounted in detail Wu Xuan's experience of being guided by the Emperor Beast's attributes.
After listening to his story, Elder Mu smiled heartily: "An Emperor Beast, it's actually an Emperor Beast. That little guy obtained the memories of an Emperor Beast? It seems that the records in the ancient books have profound meaning." "A time of great strife." Elder Mu murmured softly, becoming even more determined in his previous decision.
Wu Xuan and his group had now arrived at the second-floor cafeteria. There weren't many core disciples in the entire second year, including those enjoying core disciple privileges. The five of them quickly got a free top-tier dish each from the second-year window.
One of the dishes was a hundred-year-old Earth Armored Dragon meat. The dragon meat was steamed, resulting in tender meat with a unique, delicate aroma.
Another dish was a century-old three-colored deer, prepared with a braising sauce. The three-colored deer meat was sweet, making a uniquely flavorful braised deer dish.
The final dish was a small plate of stir-fried fruits and vegetables grown by a century-old plant-spirit beast.
Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, served with a bowl of crystal-clear white corn. This was the generous treatment core disciples enjoyed in their daily lives.
After getting their food, everyone casually found a place to sit and eat.
Wu Xuan had only taken a few bites when a female student, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing an inner academy uniform, walked in from the entrance of the second-floor cafeteria.
The girl had a gentle and polite smile, slowly scanning the room before walking directly towards Wu Xuan's seat.
Qian Guming, sitting next to Wu Xuan, was completely stunned, staring unblinkingly at the newcomer. Seeing Qian Guming staring intently ahead, Wu Xuan also looked up in surprise.
Upon seeing that familiar figure, Wu Xuan exclaimed with delight, "Senior Sister!"
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan!" Zhang Lexuan smiled.
At that moment, everyone, including Xiao Xiao and the others beside him, as well as the other second-year students on the second floor, all turned to look at them.
"Senior Sister, did you come to the outer courtyard specifically to see me?" Wu Xuan teased somewhat irreverently.
"Yes! I originally planned to come see you after the advancement assessment. But things got urgent, so I had to take up your rest time," Zhang Lexuan said apologetically.
Seeing that the two were discussing serious matters, Qian Guming, standing to the side, suppressed the urge to chime in.
Seeing Zhang Lexuan's slightly apologetic expression, Wu Xuan roughly guessed the reason and said seriously, "Then Senior Sister, please wait a moment!" With that, Wu Xuan devoured his lunch in a flash, and then, amidst the surprised gazes of everyone, left the cafeteria with Zhang Lexuan.
