Chapter 135: 4 Soul Bones?
Chapter 135 Four Soul Bones?
Poseidon Lake is very large, much larger than all the remaining areas of Shrek Academy combined. After sailing for more than a quarter of an hour, passing through the mist, they gradually began to see the shape of Poseidon Island.
Poseidon Island appears to be only about two square kilometers in size, and at first glance, it looks like a small mountain standing on Poseidon Lake, with various pavilions and towers built on it.
The lush vegetation on the mountain is mostly one or two meters tall, and there are even many giant trees that are hundreds of meters tall on Poseidon Island. Beautiful and elegant pavilions and towers are hidden among the various tall plants.
This was quite different from the steel jungle-like city that Huo Yuhao was familiar with in his previous life. Instead, it was more like the secluded mountain retreat of those masters. The Sea God Pavilion was indeed full of masters.
The Sea God Pavilion is located near the top of the mountain on Sea God Island.
Yan Shaozhe stopped in front of the Sea God Pavilion, bowed to it, and said, "Teacher, they have returned."
Upon hearing the word "teacher," everyone was taken aback. Even Huo Yuhao, who remained calm, joined the group and feigned surprise.
"Come in, everyone." An aged voice rang out, and then, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.
Right in front of them, the three-story Sea God Pavilion, which had been completely inconspicuous just moments before, suddenly lit up without warning.
A brilliant golden light burst forth, turning the entire building completely golden, like a pavilion built of pure gold. The rich and soft golden light drifted down, enveloping everyone within it.
Huo Yuhao felt much better. He guessed that his extreme training had left some hidden injuries, which were now repaired by the rich power of light, giving him a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
The healing-type Soul Masters at Shrek Academy aren't very good. A dignified Ancient Tree of Life Soul Saint can't even solve the problem of overwork-related illnesses.
Once we're out of Tang San's sight, let's quickly purify the Soul-Devouring Blade. Once the Spirit Gold is applied, no matter how much we struggle, we won't suffer any hidden injuries.
"Hmm~"
Suddenly, a seductive groan caught Huo Yuhao's attention.
After realizing that the person who made the sound was Ma Xiaotao, they quietly withdrew their gaze.
After the match, Ma Xiaotao's temper was already agitated, and even Xu Sanshi's water cooling system was no longer working properly.
The pure light power poured down, directly suppressing the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body. No wonder Ma Xiaotao showed such a comfortable expression.
Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged, his Xuan Tian Gong soul power circulating freely. The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be directly poured into his soul power. Originally, Huo Yuhao's soul power had just broken through to the early stage of level 29 and was not yet stable. This sudden influx of spiritual energy not only allowed Huo Yuhao to easily stabilize his level 29 cultivation, but also smoothly enter the middle stage.
It felt like only a minute had passed, yet also like an eternity, as the light gradually faded, and everyone gradually awoke from that strange sensation.
Once everyone had regained consciousness, they filed into the Sea God Pavilion, awaiting the Sea God Pavilion's reward for their championship victory.
Just like in the original story, the inner court disciples were careless in eliminating evil soul masters, but they were meritorious in winning the Soul Master Competition. Their merits and demerits canceled each other out, so they were neither punished nor rewarded.
Wang Yan was promoted to a special-grade teacher and will teach in the inner courtyard. In addition, he was granted a one-year quota to borrow books from the Sea God Pavilion library.
After finishing the arrangements for the others, Yan Shaozhe turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao and the other six, and said, "It's your turn."
Feeling Yan Shaozhe's gaze, the other six people, except for Huo Yuhao, couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Children, I can only describe your performance as amazing. In the history of Shrek Academy, we have won the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament countless times, but I can say that this championship you have won is one of the most meaningful ones."
Even if Ling Luochen, Xixi, and Gongyang Mo, the three main players, are in their prime, the remaining four positions will have to be filled by the seven reserve players until Ma Xiaotao and the others recover.
This year's team is ridiculously strong, with four Soul Masters among the reserve members. In previous years, having two would have been considered good, and three would have been considered excellent.
Just like Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, they were the only two Soul Masters in their fourth year. Ma Xiaotao was not selected to participate in that year's Soul Master Competition because of her Evil Fire problem.
In the previous competition, Dai Yueheng mostly watched as a spectator, only letting these reserve players experience the atmosphere in a few matches that were sure to be won.
Beibei and the others didn't have it so easy, especially during team battles. Beibei and Xu Sanshi held the front line and withstood tremendous pressure, otherwise Ling Luochen and Xixi's performance would have been greatly limited.
Yan Shaozhe continued, "The academy's higher-ups have witnessed everything you've done. You've shouldered Shrek Academy's shining glory with your young shoulders, fighting tenaciously in what should have been just a training exercise, and ultimately winning the championship through tireless efforts. Your excellence is truly astonishing. After deliberation at the Sea God Pavilion meeting, we have decided to award you the following rewards, two in total."
"As the champions of this competition, you have received three soul bones as a reward. The academy has decided to provide four more soul bones to each of you, based on your individual abilities and strengths."
what?
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment before he finally reacted.
Yes, I secretly obtained my Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone myself, Shrek Academy didn't know that. If the academy wanted to give everyone a soul bone, they would naturally have to give me one too...
However, should one choose a soul bone based on their abilities and characteristics?
If it were me... in terms of mental attributes, it would probably be a skull?
In the original story, the skull on Huo Gua's back seems to have come from a mythical beast, right?
If the reward is indeed a skull, should I still absorb it?
Huo Yuhao's blank expression perfectly matched the surprised expressions of the other six people, without any sense of incongruity.
After all, the last time the Star Luo Empire was so generous was to offer four soul bones at once. The champion received three soul bones as a reward, and the runner-up received one, for a total of four. Even so, it still made a major empire feel the pinch. This kind of thing only happens once every twenty years...
Everyone except Huo Yuhao was overjoyed. If each person got one, they wouldn't have to worry about who owned the soul bone, which was perfect.
But what shocked them even more was yet to come.
Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "The soul bone reward is an encouragement for your tenacious struggle in this competition. But you have preserved the honor for the academy, and the academy will also bestow an honor upon you. From this moment on, the academy bestows upon you the title of Shrek Seven Devils."
At this point, Yan Shaozhe paused slightly before saying emphatically, "For life."
