Xu Zihuang, who had just left Poseidon Island, was walking slowly along the lakeside path towards the dormitory building.
Under the influence of soul power, his wet mid-length black hair had also been dried, and he had put on a set of clean clothes again.
When he and Ma Xiaotao landed on Poseidon Island just now, Tianmeng Bingshen suddenly woke up on his own initiative and informed that several very powerful humans were secretly spying on him.
This also allowed Xu Zihuang to confirm his previous guess.
That was because the people from Poseidon Pavilion deliberately wanted him to get in touch with Ma Xiaotao. Maybe they also wanted to bring him and Ma Xiaotao together.
Otherwise, when Ma Xiaotao fell into Poseidon Lake, people from Poseidon Pavilion should have come forward.
Ma Xiaotao is a girl after all, and the scene in the lake is absolutely erotic. In that case, contact between the two is simply unavoidable.
Xu Zihuang also had to admit that he did have some instinctive reactions. The reason why he acted calmly from beginning to end was because his restraint was strong enough.
Compared to lust, he has something he cares about and desires more.
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, he quickly returned to the dormitory building not far from the lakeside path.
When he walked into the dormitory, Tuoba Yu's door was closed tightly, and there was a do not disturb sign hanging on it. He was obviously in a state of cultivation. After Xu Zihuang also freshened up, he started practicing all night.
The night passed like this.
In a room on the island in the center of Poseidon Lake in Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao, dressed in a red dress, gradually woke up from her coma.
"Hey..." Ma Xiaotao's body moved, and subconsciously, she covered her chest with her right hand and muttered to herself.
"It's so hot and uncomfortable. Huh?"
Gradually, she opened her eyes. There was a bit of confusion in her pale pink eyes, "Strange, why isn't it hot anymore?"
She suddenly turned over and sat up, looked down at herself, and jumped off the bed. The lines on her pretty face were very cold, but they still couldn't hide her stunning beauty. Standing straight there, she even revealed her fullness and touching beauty.
A soul-stirring figure.
At this time, her memory also began to revive.
Although her consciousness was lost last night, it did not mean that she had no memory of what happened.
As a soul master's cultivation level increases, his mental power also gradually increases.
The most direct benefit brought by the improvement of mental power is the enhancement of memory. At Ma Xiaotao's level of cultivation, not only can he have a photographic memory, but he will have a far deeper impression of everything he has experienced than the average person.
The feeling of friction when holding Yu Tianhuang's body, the coolness of falling into the water of Poseidon Lake, and the temperature of skin touching in the lake water.
Everything came to her mind.
Ma Xiaotao's face turned red with embarrassment. Although she was already a nineteen-year-old girl, she was still an inexperienced girl. Recalling what happened last night, she inevitably felt a little embarrassed.
The key thing is that it was all her own initiative, and Yu Tianhuang never made any overstep from beginning to end.
Ma Xiaotao, what have you done?
She patted her pink cheeks hard, her face turned red because of the shame in her heart.
In addition, there is an unprecedented seasonal movement.
Over the years, Yu Tianhuang was the first person of the opposite sex to have such close contact with her.
…
The warm morning light shines through the window sill and falls on Mo Xueji, who is blooming more and more enchantingly. The black-purple petals are still so deep, and the faint fragrance fills the whole room.
After finishing his practice for the day, Xu Zihuang walked out of his room and bumped head-on with Tuoba Yu who came out of the other room.
Tuoba Yu asked in surprise: "Tianhuang, when did you come back?"
"I was delayed for some things and came back in the evening." Xu Zihuang responded with a smile and started to wash up.
Tuoba Yu just asked casually. Then he seemed to have thought of something and reminded: "By the way, yesterday Teacher Wang Yan asked us core disciples to tell each other that we should go to his office to find him before class today.
"
Xu Zihuang nodded, his mind moving slightly.
It seems that it is about selecting the reserve team.
The weather is very good today, and the teaching of the new school year at Shrek Academy is on track. Students in each grade are facing different pressures. Freshmen have freshman assessments, and there are more students in other grades who have completed promotion assessments.
Complex courses.
Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu went to find Wang Yan together after eating a top-notch dish from the core disciples in the martial arts cafeteria.
"Bang, bang, bang." Tuoba Yu knocked on the office door a few times.
"Come in." Wang Yan's always gentle voice sounded in the office.
Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu pushed the door open and entered.
The room was already full of people, all of whom were core disciples of Class One. In addition to Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu, Dai Huabin was also there, as well as Wu Feng, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Zhu Lu, Huang Chutian, who had officially become core disciples.
Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. There are twelve people in total.
Wang Yan said slowly after seeing everyone arriving.
"I called you here today because I have a special situation to inform you. This afternoon, the outer college will hold a core disciple selection competition. Originally, there was nothing for our second-year core disciples, but the college suddenly decided to let our second-year core disciples
Also participate in the selection. So, you all must be prepared."
Zhou Sichen, who was relatively impatient, asked curiously: "Teacher Wang, what is this trial for?"
Wang Yan smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much. There will be no punishment if you lose in this trial. The participants are all core disciples under the age of fifteen from the outer courtyard, including the soul guidance department. I did the math.
, there are about thirty people. Seven people will be selected from them to participate in a task. As for what this task is, only the winning students can know. Originally, these places should have belonged to third-, fourth-, and fifth-year students.
But you are lucky enough to be able to participate this time, so just try your best."
"There are twelve core disciples in our first class, occupying more than one-third of the quota. This is enough to show the high quality of your students. I still have great confidence in you."
Having said this, Wang Yan's eyes couldn't help but move to Xu Zihuang.
He didn't know about others, but in his opinion, with Yu Tianhuang's strength, he would definitely be able to occupy one of the spots.
Everyone's performance is different.
Some are thoughtful, some secretly complain that the college assessment is too much, and some are eager to try.
"Okay, you go back to the classroom and get ready for class."
Afterwards, a group of twelve people walked toward the teaching building in a mighty manner. Wang Yan was right, there were indeed many talented students in their class. But the most important thing was actually Class 1 of the second grade. Like the other three classes,
The only core disciples are Xie Huanyue from Class 2 and Ning Tian from Class 3.
Among all types of soul masters, attack-type soul masters and control-type soul masters have always been the mainstream, and it is easier for top-notch soul masters to emerge.
Today's morning class was taught by Mu Jin, and in the afternoon it was Wang Yan's theory class.
Although everyone's performance varied when they learned that the core disciple assessment was about to take place in the afternoon, during the whole day of class, the vast majority of them acted absent-mindedly.
No one knows how the core disciple selection competition is conducted, but for every core disciple, this is a test that cannot be escaped. Fortunately, there is no punishment in this assessment.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class in the afternoon, Wang Yan put his teaching book under his arm and said to everyone: "The core disciples will stay for a while and come with me to the Soul Fighting Area later."
coming!
Everyone was in high spirits. They knew that the selection competition was about to begin. What was different from what they imagined was that the assessment did not take up their class time, but was held after school in the afternoon.
The group of people left the classroom, and Xie Huanyue from Class 2 and Ning Tian from Class 3 also walked out under the leadership of their class teachers.
As soon as Ning Tian saw Xu Zihuang, he immediately walked over with a sweet smile.
Xu Zihuang smiled and nodded, falling behind everyone, chatting while walking.
Both Wang Yan and the head teacher of Class 3 were relatively open-minded teachers, and they did not stop him in any way.
But Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, who were behind everyone, attracted the attention of many students.
The eyes of Tuoba Yu, Cao Jinxuan, Zhou Sichen and Huang Chutian, who were closer to Xu Zihuang, were more ridiculing and teasing. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu just glanced at them and withdrew their gazes.
Wang Dong snorted disdainfully, raised his chin proudly and continued walking forward.
The pretty little faces of the two sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were so red that they were even a little embarrassed to look back.
As for Xiao Xiao, there was a bit of disappointment in her eyes. However, she was petite and had her head lowered, so no one noticed the emotional changes in her eyes.
The one with the strongest reaction was naturally Wu Feng. He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could bite his silver teeth into pieces, and his body was trembling slightly.
Although she had known for a long time that Ning Tian and Yu Tianhuang often went to the Soul Guidance Department together, she would deliberately avoid them every time, which was the only remaining comfort in her heart. But now
Seeing the two of them so close with her own eyes was like adding salt to her wounds.
Ning Tian's attention was focused on Xu Zihuang from beginning to end. He put his hands behind his back and said softly to Xu Zihuang: "Tianhuang, I feel that this selection of core disciples is not that simple. From the nearly thirty core disciples
To select seven people, after much thought, the simplest and most effective method should be a big brawl. Doesn’t Shrek Academy always value strength and adaptability the most, and this approach is also in line with the academy’s style.”
Xu Zihuang looked sideways at Ning Tian in surprise.
Ning Tian was worthy of being the heir to the sect master who had been carefully cultivated by the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect since he was a child. He instantly understood the key through limited information.
"If there is a big fight, we will join forces then."
"Yeah." Ning Tian smiled sweetly.
During the conversation between the two, they had arrived at the Soul Fighting Area unknowingly.
After waiting for a while, Xu Zihuang saw an acquaintance appear.
Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan appeared one after another. The most eye-catching ones were of course Beibei and Xu Sanshi, the twin stars of the outer courtyard.
Among the senior core disciples, only three of them have not yet passed their fifteenth birthday. Undoubtedly, they are also the strongest among all the core disciples in the outer courtyard except Xu Zihuang.
The cultivation level of the third ring level is still very common in the outer courtyard, but when it comes to the level of the fourth ring, almost few students can reach it before the age of fifteen.
The process from the third ring to the fourth ring is much more difficult than from the second to the third ring.
In fact, among the core disciples of the Martial Soul Department present today, the only ones who have reached the Soul Sect level are Xu Zihuang, Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan.
But from the Soul Guidance Department, only He Caitou came. The total number of people finally settled on the number twenty-eight, half of which were second-year core disciples.
Students from different classes stood behind the teacher of their own class, waiting quietly. Although this core disciple assessment was somewhat inexplicable, and there was no punishment. But to be able to become core disciples, which one of them is not a talented person?
Good talent means strong confidence. No one wants to lose easily.
However, if you encounter a pervert like Yu Tianhuang as your opponent, you will have no choice but to consider yourself unlucky.
Dai Huabin stood there, eager to try. His soul power had reached level 37, and he was considered the best among the core disciples in the entire outer courtyard. However, he did not pay attention to the senior seniors, but kept
He looked at Xu Zihuang with burning eyes.
He knew that he was not Yu Tianhuang's opponent now, but he always wanted to confirm the real gap between the two in person.
At this moment, in the distance, a staggering old man walked over. Looking at his shaky steps, it seemed as if he might fall down at any time.
Although most of his face was covered by his wild hair, the iconic movements of the wine gourd in his left hand and the drumstick in his right hand immediately revealed his identity.
It is Mr. Xuan.
Mr. Xuan wandered up to the students, raised his head with drunken eyes and said: "Xiao Wang."
"Mr. Xuan." Wang Yan hurried forward and saluted respectfully.
"Is everyone here?" Mr. Xuan asked.
Wang Yan said: "We are all here. There are twenty-seven core disciples from the martial soul department, and only one person from the soul guidance department has come. Altogether, there are twenty-eight people."
"Well, let's go in then."
Not everyone has met Mr. Xuan, but seeing Wang Yan's respectful attitude towards him, they knew that his status was extraordinary.
Everything in the soul fighting area remains the same, but today there are no teachers here, and no students come here to fight souls.
Elder Xuan stopped when he reached the center of the Soul Fighting Area, and the core disciples also stood still under the leadership of their teachers.
Xuan Lao Weng said angrily: "You little guys, listen up. The content of the core disciple assessment you will accept next is very simple. I call it a collective chaos. Within the scope of this fighting spirit area, you can attack at will.
You can fight however you want. There are no rules. Those who admit defeat or are rescued are considered eliminated. The last seven people left are the winners. Okay, teachers, please go out. I say start, you guys
It’s time to start fighting.”
"Is this okay?" Hearing what Mr. Xuan said, the students couldn't help but widen their eyes. They all looked at each other. These are twenty-eight people. And everyone's cultivation and abilities are different. Such a chaotic fight.
What can be tested?
Among the people, the only ones who were not surprised were Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian beside him. The two looked at each other, and Xu Zihuang saw a glimmer of confidence and wisdom in Ning Tian's aqua blue eyes.
Under the order of Mr. Xuan, the teachers exited the soul fighting area one after another.
Before the students in the soul-fighting area could react, Mr. Xuan suddenly raised the wine gourd in his hand and gave a loud drink.
"start."
With a "swish", Mr. Xuan's body disappeared. Only twenty-eight core disciples from the outer courtyard were left in the spirit fighting arena.
All these changes were so sudden that most of the students were temporarily stunned the moment after Mr. Xuan started chanting.
Immediately afterwards, everyone made different choices.
Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, who were well prepared, were the quickest to react.
Xu Zihuang understood that the main test of this core disciple selection competition was adaptability.
At that moment, he pulled Ning Tian and rushed towards He Caitou, who was not far away from the two of them.
"Senior brother and I, let's join forces."
Whether it was for selfish reasons or for a future revenge plan, he would definitely help He Caitou enter the reserve team.
"Okay." He Caitou responded honestly, and the various metal tubes shown yesterday were once again placed on his body, giving everyone present a huge sense of threat.
At the same time, Ning Tian, who was standing next to Xu Zihuang, stretched out her right hand and shouted softly, "Seven treasures turn out to contain colored glaze."
Her body floated on the spot and spun around, and the gorgeous seven-colored light was immediately released from her body. Where the seven-colored light condensed, there was already a seven-colored pagoda more than a foot high in the palm of Ning Tian's right hand.
This pagoda was sparkling with light, and it seemed to be inlaid with countless gems. As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of many people.
Two yellow and one purple, three soul rings rose from Ning Tian's palm, and began to rhythmically surround the seven-story pagoda on her palm.
Some senior core disciples who were not familiar with Ning Tian even exclaimed: "Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Spirit inherited from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is known as the mainland's No. 1 auxiliary weapon Martial Spirit. They are all core disciples, so naturally they have heard of the terrifying auxiliary ability of this martial spirit.
It is no exaggeration to say that if a Three Soul Master is assisted by a fellow practitioner who is a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul Master, it will not be a problem for him to temporarily increase his strength to the Soul Sect level.
The only thing that made them feel lucky was that Ning Tian only had Yu Tianhuang and He Caitou around him, which greatly reduced his threat.
But then, before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, their eyes were replaced by shock and fear.
"The Seven Treasures are famous, and the third one is: Soul." The purple third soul ring on the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda lit up, and the luxurious purple light made the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda even more magnificent. A brilliant brilliance shot out from it and fell on He Cai
On the head.
He Caitou couldn't help but widen his eyes, and the soul power in his body directly increased by 40%. For a soul master like him, soul power is the source of all power. This increase in soul power is very important to him.
The improvement in combat power is even far higher than that of regular soul masters.
The light that erupted from the metal tubes all over his body also became as rich as substance, and the instantaneous burst of soul power fluctuations shocked everyone.
The entire soul fighting arena suddenly roared.
And one after another human figures also disappeared into the field amidst the violent explosion of soul power, like soaring clouds and riding mist.
The most unlucky ones were Tuoba Yu, Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan. They were relatively close to Xu Zihuang and others, and they were immediately covered by the terrifying light.
"You, you, you, and you are all eliminated." The smell of wine filled their nostrils. Tuoba Yu, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan and Huang Chutian were all surprised to find that they were already in the air at some point, and they were there.
Next to Mr. Xuan, a dull white halo enveloped their bodies.
Not only them, but also Dai Huabin, Xie Huanyue, Wu Feng and Zhu Lu had the same ending as them. There were even many senior core disciples.
At this moment, another big explosion occurred below.
The burst of light from the twenty soul guides was so astonishingly powerful, not to mention the fact that it was assisted by Ningtian's Qibao Glazed Pagoda Martial Spirit.
He Caitou's all-out explosion just now was as powerful as a soul king-level attack. This is the terrifying thing about soul mentors.
Amidst the violent roar, several more figures were rescued by Mr. Xuan.
Astonishingly, they were sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo. Although they were lucky not to bear He Caitou's attack head-on, their soul power cultivation levels were still too low compared to others, both were in the twenties.
They were multi-level great soul masters, and their martial soul abilities were not good at defense. Even though they were only slightly affected, it was not something they could resist.
Mr. Xuan glanced at He Caitou in surprise, and then focused on the soul fighting arena where the smoke and dust had dispersed.
After this round of outbreaks by He Caitou, the structure of the fighting spirit field has naturally completed a major cleansing.
The only ones left on the field now are the three-person team of Xu Zihuang, Ning Tian, and Caitou, the three-person team of Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, the remaining three senior core disciples’ temporary team, and the luckier ones.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.
He Caitou had previously held back on these weaker-looking girls, and he only targeted male students.
Sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were simply unlucky, and the soul guides that fell around them were relatively powerful.
In comparison, Xiao Xiao is much luckier.
Wang Dong, who was next to Xiao Xiao, also benefited from it and was able to stay in the spirit fighting arena.
