Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 123 Level Soul Power
A rich, soft golden light drifted down, enveloping everyone. The warm, rich aura of light nourished each of their bodies, instantly sweeping away the fatigue brought on by the journey.

Bathed in this golden light, everyone at Shrek, including Wang Yan, unconsciously closed their eyes. However, the four deans, Fan Yu, and Elder Xuan quietly entered the Sea God Pavilion first, unaffected by the golden light released by the Sea God Pavilion.

Beibei's eyes were a little strange. Faintly, his soul power was released from his body, the blue-purple lightning disappeared, and a faint dragon roar sounded.

Wang Dong's whole body exuded a transparent golden color, which contrasted with the sudden golden light.

Elsewhere, amidst the rich and profound aura of light, Wu Xuan stood there, entering a state of meditation. The Enlightenment Sutra quietly circulated, and with each cycle, he could clearly feel his cultivation level improving linearly.

Time slowly passed, and as the aura of light gradually dissipated, everyone gradually regained consciousness. Ma Xiaotao and the other three were all beaming with joy. At their level, soul power growth was already very slow, and even raising a level was extremely difficult. But in just a short while, they not only felt their soul power increase, but more importantly, it felt as if it had been cleansed, becoming even more refined. This was even more important than directly improving their cultivation.

Forty-ninth level soul power! In a short period of time, the soul power broke through again, and Wu Xuan's calm face also showed a smile.

Ma Xiaotao was the first to regain consciousness. Looking at everyone who had regained consciousness, she said slowly, "Let's go. The dean and the others are waiting for us in the Sea God Pavilion."

Everyone nodded and followed Ma Xiaotao into the Poseidon Pavilion.

After the baptism of light, everyone gained something. Walking into the first floor of Poseidon Pavilion, everything was so simple and quaint. It seemed that all the materials of the furniture and decorations were the same as the peculiar wood of Poseidon Pavilion itself.

In the center of the spacious hall sat a long table. The four deans and Elder Xuan were already seated at it, while Fan Yu stood behind Deans Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo. Clearly, there were no seats for them. Besides them, there were also elderly men seated on either side of the long table. Wu Xuan and his companions were mostly unfamiliar with these elders; only Ma Xiaotao and the other three from the inner courtyard knew a few of them.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Welcome back, children. Whether you've heard of this before or not, I'm going to explain it to you. Poseidon Pavilion is the academy's highest decision-making body, and Poseidon Pavilion meetings determine the academy's future direction. Besides our four deans, everyone here is a veteran of the academy, and they've all made tremendous contributions to the academy."

"This time, you represented the college with a complete lineup and won the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. We have heard about the whole process. Letting you come here today is to express the college's sincerity and support for the college. Your awards are announced. I hope you can continue to work hard in the future and don’t be proud of your current achievements.”

Everyone hurriedly bowed to the elders present.

Yan Shaozhe did not introduce the identities of these elders to Wu Xuan and others. The identities of the elders were also the core secrets of the Sea God Pavilion and were not something that Wu Xuan and others could know now.

"Now I will announce the rewards." Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice: "Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, Ling Luochen."

"Disciple is here." Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng and Ling Luochen stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice: "As inner court disciples, you failed to protect your teammates while performing supervisory duties, which resulted in serious injuries to your teammates and affected their participation in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. You will be given a serious warning." "Ah?" The four of them had never expected this result and were shocked for a moment.

Yan Shaozhe's face darkened. "What? Do you have any objections? Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Chen Zifeng, the three of you are the main offensive spirit masters in the team. What is the role of the offensive spirit master? Facing challenges head-on and protecting teammates. Did you do that? Ling Luochen, as the main control spirit master, did you play a sufficient controlling role in that battle?"

"If Wu Xuan hadn't come to your rescue, I'm afraid you wouldn't have made it back intact. Judging from the situation at the time, the team's damage was due to your collective carelessness and underestimation of the enemy. As Shrek Academy Inner Court disciples, is that the fighting power you should have displayed? Even Outer Court students know that a lion will fight a rabbit with all its might, but what about you?"

The four of them lowered their heads in shame under Yan Shaozhe's scolding. They were indeed careless at that time, especially Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng. They were completely obsessed with killing and did not care about their teammates at all. They also did not observe the surrounding environment in time, which led to the team being almost wiped out. What Yan Shaozhe said was true.

Seeing the four people lowered their heads in shame.

Yan Shaozhe's tone softened a bit. "Afterwards, you joined the team to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. Your excellent performance in the reserve team gave you ample time to recover from your injuries. You displayed sufficient combat effectiveness and ultimately helped the team win the final championship. The academy will also remember this contribution."

"However, as inner court disciples and regular contestants, your rewards will naturally be smaller. Major offenses will not be recorded in your files. Once you complete a certain number of Black-level surveillance missions, the academy will reward you with a spirit bone each. I hope you can learn from this lesson. Remember, life is precious, and no one can repeat it."

"Thank you, Dean." Ma Xiaotao and the other three breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Inner courtyard disciples enjoyed the benefits of Shrek Academy's various resources, so their requirements were naturally much higher than those of outer courtyard disciples.

This is also the important reason why Yan Shaozhe said that as members of the championship team, their rewards are far less than those of the reserve team.

Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, "You've all worked hard this time. Go back and rest. Remember, everything you see in the Sea God Pavilion must be kept confidential. Yaoheng, you've completed a sufficient number of monitoring tasks. You can begin preparing for the Inner Court graduation examination. After the graduation examination, your reward will be distributed."

"Yes." Dai Yuheng bowed respectfully again and left the Poseidon Pavilion.

Ma Xiaotao seldom goes out on missions because of her evil fire, and Ling Luochen and Chen Zifeng are still far from completing the number of missions required for graduation, so among the four, only Dai Yuheng can get the soul bones awarded by the academy first.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief when they left the Sea God Pavilion. They had been so nervous inside just now, with a group of elders watching them being criticized. Even Ma Xiaotao felt the immense pressure. They knew very well that all the elders present were Titled Douluo-level masters! Most of them were Super Douluo.

Although I didn’t receive any rewards yet, I didn’t receive any punishment either. At least this competition mission was completed successfully.

Especially Dai Yuheng, he can prepare for the graduation examination. This unexpectedly means that he can return to the Xingluo Empire, follow in his father's footsteps, and enter the army for training. Thinking of this, he is nervous and excited.
