Chapter 72 Troublesome Reward

"Children, come here." Moon smiled slightly, and Beibei immediately came over and helped him up.

Moon's waist was bent almost at 90 degrees, hunched over, which shocked the others.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, did not put on any extra performance. After all, the Moon people were experienced and shrewd. Even if he showed a surprised reaction, his exaggerated acting skills would not be able to deceive the other party.

Anyway, for me, who possesses the spirit eyes of my own martial soul and was previously famous for my insight in Shrek Academy, it was not too strange to know that the old man lying at the door had a bad back and that it was not a simple matter.

Moon looked at the surprised people and smiled. Then he said to Huo Yuhao, "Little guy, why don't you seem surprised?"

Huo Yuhao answered the other party directly: "After all, in Shrek Academy, even the minimum requirement for teachers' cultivation is Soul King. This is already an open rule and regulation."

"As for the staff on campus, at least I don't think that if he is really just an ordinary person, an old man who is already in his twilight years would be kept in the academy."

After hearing this, everyone except Bei Bei was also enlightened. After all, Moon's previous image was like a piece of rotten wood, lying on the recliner in front of the dormitory building, and even a trace of soul power fluctuations on his body could not be felt, and he was gloomy.

Coupled with the busy studies and the youthful ecstasy, naturally not many students would pay much attention to who this half-buried old man is.

Moon nodded, without asking any more questions, and walked towards a wall in the hall of Poseidon Pavilion with Beibei and the other six people.

Moon just stretched out his hand and lightly pointed, and a dazzling light flashed. Everything around him became illusory. A rich golden halo instantly enveloped everyone, and everyone quickly closed their eyes.

Huo Yuhao activated his martial soul and used the power of the Eye of Truth, supplemented by spiritual detection, to sense the changes in his surroundings and record everything around him.

"Is this a spatial ability? It should be a method arranged by the Ultimate Douluo, but most of the structures seem to be different from Moon's soul power? It should be due to the many years of transformation of Shrek Academy. After all, there are many masters of the Sea God Pavilion in Shrek Academy who are at the Ultimate Douluo level. There should be many of them that are the work of predecessors."

Except for martial spirits that are specifically related to space, most soul masters can only access real spatial abilities and methods when they reach the ultimate level.

When the golden light faded away and everyone stood on solid ground, when they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a spacious hall. The square hall was about one hundred cubic meters in size, almost the same size as the competition arena of the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition.

Although this place is closed and everything around is made of wood, the air is unusually fresh. You can also see statues of the founders of Shrek Academy, the Golden Triangle and the original Shrek Seven Devils, and further away are corridors.

Moon slowly explained to everyone the origin of this place and the origin of the golden tree.

"This is the underground world of the Sea God Pavilion. It has 108 rooms, which almost cover all the cultivation environments suitable for martial arts spirits. It can make people enter a deep meditation state, which is of great benefit to the future cultivation path."

"Originally, this was a privilege only for inner court disciples. Generally speaking, unless they made outstanding contributions, ordinary inner court disciples only had one chance to enter here."

Hearing this, everyone except Huo Yuhao was stunned, and Moon continued.

"Although you failed in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, you only lost because you did not receive the huge amount of resources that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen did."

"As an academy, we at Shrek Academy cannot be like families and sects that provide all students with excessive resources for free. We must ensure a certain degree of fairness and justice."

“But as the next generation of the Shrek Seven Devils, I hope that you can use this place to find your own path, defeat your past immature selves, and compete again with the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in future competitions.”

"If we really compare resources, the foundation and accumulation of my Shrek Academy will be more profound than any family or sect on the continent."

After hearing what Moon said, several people's eyes were red, and Beibei was even more excited, and most of the haze in his heart was swept away.

Yes, compared to resources, the accumulation of Shrek Academy over ten thousand years is definitely not something that other forces are qualified to challenge.

So what if Xiao Hongchen is a Soul King at the age of fifteen? If Shrek Academy is willing to do its best to build them up, then a Soul King at the age of fifteen or a Soul Saint at the age of twenty is definitely not just a fantasy.

However, in the past, due to Shrek Academy’s reserve and arrogance, Shrek Academy would conduct a long assessment even for the representative team of the Shrek Seven Devils.

In fact, this assessment will only end at graduation. Only students who are willing to stay in Shrek Academy after graduating from the inner courtyard will receive real resources from Shrek Academy.

But now Moon's meaning is very clear, how can they not be excited?

But logically speaking, there are actually many students in the inner courtyard who have already reached the Soul King and Soul Emperor levels and have not yet graduated.

So for Moon, even though his life span is almost over.

However, as "losers", Huo Yuhao and others have to consider the original reputation of Shrek Academy.

Then the seven of them should not have been the ones he chose to train.

Therefore, since Moon did this, he was using his status as the leader of Poseidon Pavilion to forcibly suppress all the dissatisfied teachers and students in Shrek Academy.

Because in Moon's opinion, compared to those who have been educated in Shrek Academy for nearly ten years.

An inner court disciple who is closely connected with the conservative elders such as Xuan Zi and whose thinking has become rigid.

Moon would rather place his hopes on the elite disciples of this generation of Shrek Seven Devils selected from the outer courtyard.

After all, apart from Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, who has the most potential in the inner courtyard, can no longer be relied upon.

As for the other students in the inner courtyard, most of them will go back to inherit the family business after graduation.

Among those who were able to stay, only a few were worthy of Moon's attention.

No matter what arrangements and actions are made in private, Shrek Academy will never allow an evil soul master like Ma Xiaotao to act freely in public.

Ma Xiaotao, who has controlled evil, accepted darkness, and completely transformed into the Dark Phoenix, undoubtedly has terrifying potential.

Even without resorting to the evil soul master's cultivation methods, one can improve one's cultivation simply through normal means.

So in the future, not to mention becoming Extreme Douluo, becoming a Super Douluo is absolutely a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, Shrek Academy would definitely not give up on her. At most, they would hide Ma Xiaotao from outsiders as a trump card. After all, Ma Xiaotao was cultivated by Shrek Academy since she was a child. Even evil soul masters would form the Holy Spirit Church to create order and faith from chaos.

The influence of evil spirits does not mean that a person’s personality and past experiences can be completely erased.

Therefore, Shrek Academy would rather take the risk than allow a future Super Douluo to leave or die.

Moreover, the other inner court disciples have already experienced once the "deep meditation" carried out in the special environment of the Poseidon Pavilion.

Naturally, Moon had paid special attention to their previous performance in deep meditation.

However, Moon could see through the future of most of them at a glance. In his eyes, their potential had been exhausted.

With the help of the foundation laid by deep meditation, perhaps these inner court disciples can easily reach the Soul Sage level or even the Soul Douluo level after graduation.

However, most of them will never be able to reach the realm of Titled Douluo in their lifetime, let alone the Super Douluo and Ultimate Douluo levels above it.

Shrek Academy can indeed guarantee a stable output of Titled Douluo, but those are seven people selected from among the nearly five thousand students who compete on behalf of the academy every five years.

Although the seven members of this generation's reserve team experienced a tragic defeat in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, as Moon said before, if they can use this opportunity to let go of their mindless pursuit of the glory of Shrek Academy.

Only those who can face up to their own failures and the true face of Shrek Academy, and finally step out of the shadows and what remains can become the real pillars of Shrek Academy in the future.

After all, every generation of the Shrek Seven Devils represents Shrek Academy in participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, except for the Rainbow Dragon and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower.

The normal potential is limited, but before the seventh ring, apart from the extremely powerful martial spirit owners, the other soul master students are all potential seeds carefully selected in each generation, geniuses selected from among five thousand peers.

If nothing unexpected happens and they fail halfway, then in the future even if they only rely on themselves, they will at least be able to grow into Titled Douluo level strongmen.

However, many of these students are core disciples of major sects and families. After graduating from the inner courtyard, most of them will no longer stay in Shrek Academy.

But because of this, although the resources of Shrek Academy are sufficient to help these students reach a higher level of cultivation at the age of fifteen or twenty, it has not done so in the past.

Only when the true descendants of Shrek Academy appear will they exert their efforts and allocate resources to help them reach the level of Titled Douluo or even Super Douluo.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils of Huo Yuhao's generation, Beibei, as the great-great-grandson of Moon, is undoubtedly a direct descendant of Shrek Academy, while Jiang Nannan is a commoner with no background at all.

Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Sect, but although the Tang Sect was still a sect in name, the sect leader Tang Ya was more of a mascot, and the sect had only survived to this day because of Bei Bei's support for it.

As for Xiaoxiao, although her family conditions are good, they are just good.

They cannot be compared with people like Dai Yueheng who was born in the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion, Ning Tian who was born in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Wang Dong who was born in the Haotian Sect, who have been branded with the mark of a certain inherent camp since birth.

It is entirely possible to strive for these four people to continue to stay in Shrek Academy after graduation and become true members of Shrek Academy. There is no need to worry about them leaving directly after spending a lot of resources on their training.

You should know that this ratio of four sevenths is actually quite high among the Shrek Seven Devils of all generations.

In most cases, among the Shrek Seven Devils of each generation, there is usually only one student who is born as an individual with an uncertain future. In rare cases, there may be around two.

After all, compared to the major sects and families with a long heritage and rich financial resources, it is too difficult for individual students and civilian students to stand out, unless they are really gifted. After all, they have even fewer resources.

If we also take into account the accidents that the students who stayed behind experienced during their growth, the mortality rate can reach almost 50%. After all, as a soul master, especially a Shrek student, it is extremely dangerous to go out for training and to fight for resources.

Moreover, the Soul Hunting Operation itself is a risky undertaking. In the end, after a hundred years, only twenty Titled Douluo could be grown up. Adding the others who grew up wildly or by chance, there are almost thirty Titled Douluo.

And among these thirty Titled Douluo who will be loyal to Shrek Academy for their entire lives, it would be a blessing if they could successfully grow five Super Douluo out of them.

So Moon's attempt is undoubtedly bold. Is it a desperate move to allocate resources at this stage?

As the saying goes, no reward without merit, by doing this, Moon has undoubtedly broken the unspoken rules originally set by Shrek Academy. No one can guarantee that by doing this, he can really cultivate a new golden generation for Shrek Academy, or lead to the future decline of Shrek Academy.

Looking at everyone who was still in a daze, Moon called out their names one by one.

"Beibei, go in through the first passage on the right, and then..."

"Xu Sanshi"

"Jiang Nannan"

Moon spoke one by one, arranging the rooms that everyone needed to enter.

Everyone did not hesitate and followed Moon's arrangement and walked towards their own rooms.

Huo Yuhao still took the same passage as in the original novel.

Although this memory was quite old, Huo Yuhao had already dug out every detail in the original work from his memory and memorized it all through the Eye of Truth and his skyrocketing mental strength.

Huo Yuhao was muttering to himself as he walked. He had thought that since he had been defeated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, Moon would not mention any punishment, but there would definitely be no reward. But how did he end up here again?

Such words made Huo Yuhao feel quite uncomfortable. After all, what Moon had just said represented the current intention of Shrek Academy.

Originally, he wanted to graduate from the external school, so that his cultivation level would be close to that of a Soul Emperor, and then he could escape easily. However, it would be much more troublesome if he did that now.

Not to mention the other people, after Huo Yuhao entered the room, as the door closed, little yellow lights lit up. The pupils of the eyes of each skull seemed to be burning yellow lights, staring at Huo Yuhao closely.

For a moment, the huge mental force around him pressed towards Huo Yuhao. However, for Huo Yuhao, who had already completed the second golden awakening of his martial soul, the mental pressure released by these fear dragon skulls could only make him frown slightly.
