69novels Chapter 46 Sea God Pavilion Meeting
Chapter 46 Sea God Pavilion Meeting
He lifted the Explainer from the bed, drew it from its scabbard, and examined the matte black blade.
"It's a fine sword, but am I even suited to fighting with one right now? Besides, I don't know any swordsmanship."
"And what's with this 'Douluo World'? I've never heard of soul guidance technology reaching this level before. Uncle Baili is truly amazing; I really don't know how he did it..."
Somewhat annoyed, Huo Yuhao sheathed his sword again. He stopped slacking off and sat cross-legged, preparing to meditate and cultivate.
He was a level 36 Soul Master, which was neither high nor low, but he didn't plan to stay at the Soul Master level for long. Although it was unrealistic for his ultimate martial soul to reach level 4 soul power within a year, Huo Yuhao still wanted to try his best, at least to reach around level 38 before the holiday.
……
Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.
At the heart of Poseidon Island stands a massive wooden house, built against the Golden Tree. This is the core of Poseidon Island, the core of Shrek Academy, and even the core of the entire Shrek City.
It's said that the resolutions emanating from this Sea God Pavilion could even reshape the power dynamics between nations on the continent...
At this moment, the main conference hall of the Sea God Pavilion was completely silent.
Ten people sat around an oval table, while at the main seat at the innermost part of the table was a recliner. The area where the recliner was located was very dark, and one could only vaguely see that a person seemed to be lying on it.
The person in the front position was Xuanzi, who was leisurely eating and drinking with a chicken in his left hand and a wine gourd in his right.
"Let's start the meeting now that everyone's here. Lin'er, you go first."
Upon hearing this sound, Xuanzi symbolically put down the chicken leg and wine gourd in his hand, wiped them on his dirty clothes, and sat up a little straighter.
"It's a teacher."
A woman sitting in the back stood up. She was about 1.7 meters tall and looked to be only about fifty years old. She had fair skin, her black hair was neatly tied up, and her white clothes with gold trim looked tight, neat, and very capable. Although she was older, it was still obvious that she must have been a stunning beauty in her youth.
This is none other than Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy.
Even though she was nearly a hundred years old and had seen all sorts of geniuses throughout her life, Xian Lin'er's voice still trembled slightly.
"Just as you predicted, the student you have high hopes for has an unprecedented level of talent in soul tools."
Across from her, the Dean of the Spirit Department, Yan Shaozhe, the Phoenix Douluo, listened more attentively, while Qian Duoduo, the Vice Dean of the Spirit Guidance Department sitting next to Xian Lin'er, looked smug.
Xian Lin'er took a deep breath and said, word by word, "In just one day, he passed the Soul Master assessments for all three levels!"
"What?!"
"This would be unheard of even in the Sun Moon Empire!"
"The key point is," Xianlin'er emphasized, "that according to him, he had not systematically studied the manufacture of soul tools before. He only occasionally flipped through related books when he was interested. Once his mental strength and soul power were up to par, he tried to make the core formation himself."
"..."
Xian Lin'er said without hesitation, "Teacher, and all the elders, we in the Soul Guidance Department cannot give up on such a genius! Duo Duo and I have already discussed it and decided to recruit him as an inner disciple of the Soul Guidance Department. The Soul Guidance Department will do everything in its power to cultivate this child, and the Ultimate Individual Soldier Plan will be implemented on him."
After the silence came a hushed discussion among the elders: the world of geniuses is indeed incomprehensible.
Moon, sitting in the main seat, made a gesture of raising and pressing down, and the previously chaotic conference room immediately quieted down.
His voice came from the shadows, "Yes, this child is the one that Yue Xuan recommended to go directly into the inner courtyard. His name is Huo Yuhao. You should still remember him, right?"
Upon hearing the name Le Xuan, Xuanzi's expression faltered slightly, and he awkwardly looked away.
Yan Shaozhe raised his hand to indicate, "I have heard Xiao Tao mention that this child helped her suppress the evil fire, and Xiao Tao spoke highly of him and recommended him to me to be promoted directly to the inner courtyard."
Mu En didn't say anything, but looked at Xuanzi, who was sitting in the first seat, and said, "Xuanzi, tell me your opinion."
Xuanzi coughed twice, stood up, and said, "Gentlemen, I have my reasons and judgments for suppressing this child's recommendation to the inner court."
"First, this child's martial soul is the Spirit Eye, which is his eye, a mental type. It will be extremely difficult for him to acquire a soul ring in the future, and it will be hard for him to have a good performance. Although he is currently at the level of a three-ring Soul Master, in my opinion, he must have eaten some rare and precious treasures and sacrificed some of his potential to achieve this level of cultivation."
"Secondly, I remember that this kid had a conflict with his roommate when he first entered the academy, and I heard that he beat him up pretty badly... On this point, Elder Mu and I share the same attitude. If we give him the honor of entering the inner academy, who knows what big problems might arise. So I hope to suppress his temper first. Let him study in the outer academy first, and we will consider whether to let him enter the inner academy after his cultivation reaches the standard of the inner academy."
Xuanzi spoke eloquently, but Xianlin'er and Qian Duoduo frowned and exchanged a glance unconsciously.
While it's not a very nice way to put it, it feels like Xuanzi is deliberately making things difficult for Zhang Lexuan...
Since the major accident a year and a half ago, Zhang Lexuan has repeatedly demanded that the Sea God Pavilion severely punish the teacher in charge, Xuanzi, but Mu En has suppressed her demands each time.
Knowing that his time was running out, and that Shrek Academy needed strong protectors for its future development, Mu En had no choice but to protect Xuan Zi and sacrifice Zhang Lexuan.
Both Zhang Lexuan and Xuanzi felt wronged, so Zhang Lexuan simply went to work as a teacher in the foreign language department to avoid seeing Xuanzi and getting rid of her. Xuanzi, on the other hand, seemed to resent Zhang Lexuan's harsh treatment of her...
At this moment, Mu En's voice interrupted the exchange of glances between the two, "Let's leave it at that for now. Let him study in both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department at the same time. Don't give him the title of core disciple, but make sure his treatment is in place."
Xian Lin'er couldn't help but say, "But teacher, whether it's the Martial Soul Department or our Soul Guidance Department, as the knowledge becomes more advanced, it will inevitably require more energy. Studying both at the same time will only delay the child. Wouldn't it be a waste of his talent to be a jack-of-all-trades and master of none?"
Mu En smiled slightly and said, "As you just said, he learned how to create the core array of a soul tool simply by reading books. That's enough to demonstrate his exceptional talent. Geniuses need nurturing methods. How do you know he can't successfully cultivate both elements simultaneously?"
For Shrek Academy, an important Sea God Pavilion meeting has come to an end, and it seems that Huo Yuhao's fate has also been arranged.
