Chapter 38 'Heart-touching' story
Among the soul masters on the field at this time, except for Beibei and Xu Sanshi, the others were taken off the field before they suffered serious injuries because of Xuanzi.

Due to the excessive pressure of this battle, both Beibei and Xu Sanshi were bruised and battered, and had many wounds on their bodies caused by various offensive spirit skills.

However, most of the injuries on Beibei's body were just flesh wounds, and he just looked a little miserable.

But Xu Sanshi was unlucky. He faced the attack of the Netherworld White Tiger head-on. Although he was also a powerful defensive soul master, he was already on the verge of serious injury.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss." A Soul Emperor teacher from the healing department first started treating Xu Sanshi at Xuanzi's signal.

Xu Sanshi twitched with his teeth bared, but soon the injuries that seemed serious were stabilized and he only needed to go back and recuperate a little.

Xuan Zi glanced at everyone present. Although in his opinion, Huo Yuhao and his team’s performance in this selection competition could be considered a mess, he was not prepared to go back on his word.

After gnawing on a chicken leg and taking a sip of the wine in the gourd, Xuan Zi said, "Except for the last seven, everyone else has been eliminated. You can go back later."

The students who were rescued were all silent, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu also woke up with the help of their teacher.

Dai Huabin gritted his teeth. Originally, this selection competition should have been a great opportunity for him and Zhu Lu to show their strength, but it was all his fault, all that damned Huo Yuhao's fault.

Dai Huabin stared at Huo Yuhao intently, while Xuan Zi glanced at the silent crowd and continued, "Perhaps some of you feel that this is unfair, or even unconvinced."

"You may think that such a big fight seems a bit trifling. The big fight makes the stronger ones among you bear more pressure, and even get eliminated early and lose their qualifications because of it."

"But I tell you, you are wrong. Your mistake is that you really think that all battles must be fair and just, and only victory is what soul masters pursue."

"Fighting is fighting. You have to know that fighting on a real battlefield is not just playing house in the academy. You cannot decide the number of enemies and the situation you will face."

"In this case, what choice to make, or how to use your own advantages, is the true embodiment of a soul master's combat quality. You can only decide for yourself."

“No matter what the result is, no matter how strong they are, in the end it is Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, Ning Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao. These seven people have stood to the end, so they are the undisputed winners.”

"During this great battle, all of you have demonstrated your combat proficiency, personal strength, and even your ability to judge the situation."

"I just hope that you can all remember this firmly. If there are still people who think that this battle is not fair to you, then I can only say that your mentality is not suitable for the inner courtyard, and you are not qualified to become an inner courtyard disciple."

Xuan Zi's calm voice, mixed with powerful mental power, was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

At the same time, his mental power also pulled at everyone's emotions, gradually making them calm and beginning to infect their thoughts.

Although Xuanzi's martial soul has nothing to do with spiritual attributes, he is, after all, a super Douluo who is approaching the limit level. For Xuanzi, it is not a problem to use his mental power to guide these young students.

However, since there are two big guys in charge of Huo Yuhao’s sea of ​​consciousness, it is naturally a different matter.

"You should know that this kind of brawl is common in the inner courtyard. If you don't even have the ability to deal with it, you are not qualified to be an inner courtyard disciple."

Then, Xuan Zi finally got back to the topic and began to publicize his glorious deeds once again.

"Do you know what kind of situations the inner court disciples have faced during their most critical moments?"

"That time, the twelve inner court disciples got separated from their master and faced a hundred thousand year old spirit beast. After that battle, eight of the twelve inner court disciples were killed."

"But the four who survived have all become the pillars of the inner courtyard. One of them even obtained the spirit ring and spirit bone of the 100,000-year-old spirit beast, laying the foundation for his future cultivation."

Huo Yuhao was speechless after listening to Xuan Zi's glorious deeds. To be honest, he really couldn't understand it. You know, with Zhang Lexuan's qualifications, she could be the most important pillar of Shrek Academy.

The group of students who followed her were fully qualified to be her team. However, it was outrageous that with such a configuration, most of them were killed by hundred thousand year old spirit beasts when they went out hunting.

As the story of Xuan Zi's glorious deeds was told, the expressions of the others also became sad, and it was obvious that they were all affected by Xuan Zi's mental power.

Huo Yuhao also quickly lowered his head and pretended to be touched.

"So don't think that everything will be fine just by studying in the academy. Even in the academy, you must be prepared to face life-and-death crises at any time."

“Becoming an inner court disciple is not only an honor, it is also a starting point, a door that faces life and death. Once you become inner court disciples, you will be branded with the mark of Shrek Academy.”

"As an inner courtyard disciple, as a true member of Shrek Academy, after entering the inner courtyard, the first thing all students have to do is to sign a life and death document."

"In order to pursue the ultimate soul master, only by putting life and death aside can you achieve what others cannot."

What followed was a 'touching' PUA, in which Xuan Zi distorted the use of inner court disciples as a tool for Shrek Academy to consolidate its position into a supreme honor.

For a moment, Xuanzi's spiritual power planted a seed in the hearts of these teenagers under the age of fifteen, whose thinking logic was still imperfect, a seed of yearning for the glory of Shrek and the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

And this seed will also have an irreversible impact on those students with ordinary personalities and weak mental strength. As this seed takes root and sprouts under the deformed education model of Shrek Academy, it will also greatly affect their future path.

Even if they don't join the inner courtyard, they will do whatever it takes for the so-called 'Shrek Academy' and will sacrifice everything they have for the so-called 'glory' regardless of the consequences.

As Xuan Zi finished speaking, he took a sip of wine, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Through the analysis of the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao was very sure that although Xuan Zi was interfering with other students through his mental power, his own ideas were also deeply rooted. He was also deeply moved by Xuan Zi's words just now.

"This is really scary." Huo Yuhao thought.

Soon, the other teachers and students left the fighting spirit area with a hint of sadness in their hearts. In the end, only Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, ​​Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan and Xuan Zi were left in the fighting spirit area.

Xuan Zi looked at the last seven people left. His emotions had returned to normal at this time. He said calmly, "You all know the title of the Shrek Seven Devils, right?"

"Inside the gate of our academy stands the statues of the academy's founder and the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils."

Although everyone already understood this history, no one interrupted Xuanzi's recollection at this time.

Just like that, after a series of long and boring stories that had been beautified for who knows how many generations and had become unrecognizable, Xuanzi finally got back to the point.

"Every five years, the academy will select new Shrek Seven Devils, and they will represent the academy in the five-yearly Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Huo Yuhao felt a little excited, while Huo Yuhao was pondering a question, that is, whether he should save a few more inner court disciples from the Death Messenger.

After all, with their current strength, it is not impossible to win this year's Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, but they will definitely have to use a lot of trump cards, otherwise their strength will not be enough.

And if he loses, the resources he can obtain from Shrek Academy in the future will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and it will also interfere with the delicate balance of the entire continent.

In this case, should he change the situation slightly and guide a few inner court disciples who should have died or left the battlefield to survive? This might be more in line with Huo Yuhao's policy of keeping a low profile.

"Today's selection competition is to select the reserve team members for the next Shrek Seven Devils. The reserve team members will serve as substitutes for the regular contestants. Although the possibility of you playing is very small, you can go and watch the game together."

"Very unlikely, 90 percent chance, right?"

"This will be an extremely valuable experience for you, but the number of places in the reserve team is not fixed. In the next five years, you will be reviewed at any time. Only when you are strong enough can you represent the academy in the end, and you will also undergo multiple assessments during the process."

"And if you want to truly represent the academy, the first thing you need to do is to ensure that you can enter the inner courtyard."

"You'll take me away in the end?" Huo Yuhao secretly complained in his heart.

Xuan Zi finally said: "Okay, your membership in the reserve team is a secret of the academy. No one is allowed to disclose it, otherwise you will be disqualified."

"From now on, you will all practice with me for one day every week. There is still one month until this year's All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Student Fighting Soul Competition. I will lead you to practice with this year's Seven Monsters."

“I hope you will seize this hard-earned opportunity and improve yourself as much as possible.”

“Okay, let’s stop here and go.” Xuan Zi’s gaze finally fell on Huo Yuhao, although he treated Huo Yuhao differently because of Moon’s reasons.

However, since he did not like Huo Yuhao's fighting style, and since the Body Sect, as the force with the strongest body spirit, was also the rival of Shrek Academy, he actually did not approve of Huo Yuhao.

"Yes, Master Xuan." Everyone said respectfully, and then left the fighting spirit area.

After leaving the fighting spirit area, Bei Bei smiled at everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since we are the reserve team of the Shrek Seven Devils selected this time, then as the new generation of the Shrek Seven Devils, we must have a ranking order."

"How about ranking them in order of age, just like the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils?"

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Huo Yuhao said that it didn’t matter at all, it was just a title, and they should finish it quickly so that he could go back and study his soul skills.

They were quickly sorted by age. Bei Bei was the oldest, followed by Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan. Ning Tian was a few months older than Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

"Big Brother, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

Beibei nodded, while Xu Sanshi on the side was still winking at Beibei and Jiang Nannan with his eyes that had been beaten into panda eyes.

As for what happened afterwards, Huo Yuhao was too lazy to care about it and left quickly. Xiao Xiao did not follow him, as if she had become interested in the Tang Sect. Ning Tian and Wang Dong caught up with Huo Yuhao.

"Thank you for this selection." After walking for a distance, Ning Tian said softly.

“It’s just a deal.” Huo Yuhao replied calmly, “If you really want to thank me, why not invest more in me?”

"After all, as someone from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, you must have anticipated the selection competition long before us. You tried to win me over during the treasure appreciation meeting, probably to give me an extra chance at this time."

Ning Tian smiled slightly and did not deny it. He just handed Huo Yuhao a black card and said, "This is the black card of our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It can be used in all banks on the mainland."

"Among them, there are 130,000 gold soul coins, which is the cash I can take out at the moment. For the next five years, I hope you can help me more."

Ning Tian blinked at Huo Yuhao, looking very cute and adorable, then put her hands behind her back and separated from Huo Yuhao and the others.

“Wow, what a wicked rich woman.” Wang Dong curled her lips. She had not interrupted Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian’s conversation just now, but now she said sourly: “It’s just a black card, I have one too!”

After keeping the black card and adding the money Huo Yuhao had left behind, Huo Yuhao now had a cash flow of nearly 250,000 yuan, which was more than enough to purchase the Soul-Devouring Blade.

And with the remaining money, it would be good to buy some combat soul guides to enhance combat power and research, or to purchase some medicinal herbs and soul beast tissues.

“Ahem, okay, stop talking. I’m in a good mood today. How about I treat you to a meal in the cafeteria?” Huo Yuhao interrupted Wang Dong and said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong quickly pulled Huo Yuhao towards the cafeteria: "Come on, come on, I want to eat!"
