"Let the children have their own blessings; why worry so much?" Elder Lin said with a smile.

Elder Lin's real name was Lin Huiqun, one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, holding a high status at Shrek Academy, second only to Elder Mu, Dragon God Douluo, and Taotie Douluo Elder Xuan.

"Elder Lin, you are truly enlightened, but I must think about the future of the academy!"

Yan Shaozhe slapped his thigh and listed his concerns: "Our teacher is on the brink of death, Elder Xuan's Taotie Divine Bull soul, has a fatal flaw, and you and Elder Song Zhuang are no longer young. I know I am not capable of taking on the responsibility of the Sea God Pavilion's head, and Qian Lin'er, Mei'er, and other old students lack the talent required to lead the Sea God Pavilion.

The Six-Winged Angel is a Light Attribute Spirit Soul, very suitable to be the teacher's personal disciple, but such a genius with extraordinary talent, solid background, and sufficient cunning is like a hedgehog covered in thorns; I have no idea how to approach him! Where is the future of Shrek Academy? I can't sleep at night!"

"Shaozhe, a road is walked step by step. The best talents in the world all gather at Shrek, but we can't be so domineering. If we gain something, it's our fortune; if we lose it, it's our destiny. If that child is willing to join, the academy will cultivate him with all its might. If he doesn't want to come, let him go. As long as he contributes to the three major empires of the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy will always bless him."

Elder Lin's expression was very gentle, like a kind old grandmother, and she said warmly, "Yue Xuan and Xiao Tao are rare geniuses, Wu Ruo and Wu Ming have already decided to join the academy completely. The next generation of Bei Bei and Xu San Shi, the twin stars of the outer courtyard, the Flexible Bone Rabbit Jiang Nan Nan with the same soul as Xiaowu's ancestor, the Soul Conductor Department geniuses Qian Fufu and Caitou, they will build a Sea God Pavilion that is no less impressive than us old folks."

Yan Shaozhe sighed, "To be honest, after seeing the best, Yue Xuan and the others seem lacking. Some things, if done, will invite criticism, but if not done, I will feel regret. Unless the academy suddenly produces an Ultimate Spirit Soul, I won't give up on Ling Bai."

"An Ultimate Spirit Soul isn't that easy to find. In the academy's ten-thousand-year history, there have only been three ultimate attributes!" Elder Lin said earnestly, "Jianmu that old ghost never married and has no descendants to pass on his skills. He's nearing the end of his life and has finally taken a direct disciple. Shrek doesn't need to forcibly take him."

"Speaking of Senior Jianmu..."

Yan Shaozhe suddenly remembered an old story and his expression changed as he looked at Elder Lin, "I heard from the teacher that you seemed to have a crush on him back then..."

"Boom-"

Elder Lin's aged body suddenly burst with a powerful aura, overpowering the Soul Master Department Dean Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe, forcing the two words he was about to say back into his throat. Her eyes glinted dangerously, "Shaozhe, if you don't understand and insist on saying things you shouldn't, this old woman also knows a bit of martial arts..."

"That... Elder Lin, I was just joking, please calm down, calm down..."

On the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, Ling Bai had finally managed to scrape together enough Golden Soul Coins by selling everything he could. After paying at the counter on the west side, he stared at the remaining 250 Golden Soul Coins in his card, lamenting,

"I was a millionaire an hour ago, how did I suddenly become penniless!"

Gone, gone, all the pocket money he had saved over the years, and the unexpected wealth from the two Sealed Title Douluo in the extreme north, were gone!

250 Golden Soul Coins, if not for the free meals in the inner courtyard, Ling Bai would have to set up a stall to sell grilled fish like Huo Yuhao at the east city gate!

Actually, he still had some rare treasures: a 70,000-year-old Burning Sun Fire Dragon Torso Bone, a 50,000-year-old Diamond Mammoth Right Arm Bone, seven Ultimate Ice Ten- Thousand-Year Ice Heavenly Snow Lotus, a Tier 9 Soul Conductor Platform (damaged), a Tier 8 peak Soul Conductor Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, a Tier 8 Soul Conductor Aura Barrier, a Tier 8 Triggered Soul Shield (damaged), and a Tier 7 bottle.

Selling any of these would instantly bring in a fortune, but Ling Bai had already made plans for most of them. The only Aura Barrier, a Tier 8 Soul Conductor from the Mingde Hall, was not very useful. Selling it to the black-hearted Treasure Pavilion would not yield as much as selling it at an auction.

Seeing Ling Bai's despondent expression, Ma Xiaotao tried to hold back her laughter while consoling him, "Not a bad deal, at least you got the 300,000-year-old True Dragon Soul Beast's blood essence, which will benefit your Six-Winged Angel soul greatly."

Ling Bai glanced at her red lips, which had tooth marks, and nodded, "I'll take your advice and hypnotize myself into believing that."

"Hahaha!"

The exhibits in the Treasure Pavilion were diverse, and it took the three of them three hours to finish a full tour. As a penniless man, Ling Bai could only stare, but fortunately, no other high-quality treasures appeared; otherwise, he would have had to run back to borrow money from the little rich girl Ning Tian.

After much deliberation, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen each used their black VIP cards to buy a Phoenix Blood Fruit, which contained the power of a fire phoenix and was harvested from deep within a volcanic crater, and a Frost Flower, a unique treasure from the core area of the extreme north, suitable for the development of their respective souls.

The Phoenix Blood Fruit cost 500,000 Golden Soul Coins, and the Frost Flower cost 450,000 Golden Soul Coins, totaling less than one percent of the price of the Radiant Glory. With the black VIP card's 30% discount, they spent even less, yet they still complained about being broke, unlike a certain person who spent 60 million Golden Soul Coins on a tube of liquid. Ling Bai decided to cover his ears and stay away from them, inadvertently noticing a black object in a corner. The price tag next to it read:

Thousand Year Whale Jelly, 6,000 Golden Soul Coins.

"Oh?"

Ling Bai approached the Thousand Year Whale Jelly exhibit, which was a pitch-black crystal with a dull, uneven surface, far less appealing than the Phoenix Blood Fruit and Frost Flower

bought by the two girls.

The treasure description read: Whale jelly is a special substance formed in the brain of Demon Whales, with powerful effects such as strengthening the body, enhancing bones, and

nourishing yin and yang.

This whale jelly was acquired by the Treasure Pavilion from a fisherman. According to the fisherman, it was obtained when his ancestors encountered a severely injured thousand-year- old deep-sea Demon Whale during a fishing trip and had a soul master cut it out of the Demon

Whale's brain.

Thousand-year-old Demon Whale jelly is usually golden yellow and very expensive. The volume of this jelly is large enough to cause a significant transformation in a soul master's body. However, the fisherman did not store it properly, and after decades of weathering, it slightly deteriorated but can still be consumed normally.

"Hmm, that's it."

After reading the description, Ling Bai was sure of the truth: this is a Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, and the Treasure Pavilion has mistaken it for a Thousand Year Whale Jelly!

Years ago, Ning Fengya had issued a bounty for ten-thousand-year-old deep-sea Demon Whales to enhance the constitution of the sect's future stars. Ning Fengya bought several deep-sea Demon Whales and extracted the whale jelly, and Ling Bai could still clearly recall the sticky and greasy taste of the jelly.

He had eaten too much of it, and it was no longer meaningful for him. Ning Tian was the

same, and Wu Feng, although her status did not originally warrant eating Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly regularly, had benefited from Ling Bai and Ning Tian's consistent efforts to

provide her with it.

Although Ling Bai was unwilling to eat Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, he could revert to his old business from the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower-reselling!

Ling Bai glanced at the two girls on either side of him. Ling Luochen stood tall and cold, radiating an aura that kept others at a distance, while Ma Xiaotao's slender figure was full of curiosity, trying to guess why Ling Bai was staring at a low-quality Thousand Year Whale

Jelly.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Ling Bai spoke to Ma Xiaotao, who seemed easier to talk

to and was more familiar to him:

"Ma classmate... can you lend me 4,000 Golden Soul Coins?"

With the red VIP card discount, it would cost 3,600 Golden Soul Coins, so Ling Bai rounded it

up.

"What?"

Ma Xiaotao was delighted but then frowned, feigning displeasure,

"I'm happy you're borrowing from me because it means you trust me, but I don't like the way

you address me. Come on, call me Sister Xiaotao first!"

Over the past year, perhaps due to being beaten up and owing a favor for solving the Phoenix

Evil Fire, Ma Xiaotao naturally felt inferior to Ling Bai. Now, she finally had a chance to feel

superior!

"Then I'll ask Ling Luochen classmate!"

Ling Bai instantly changed his target, but his second choice, Ling Luochen, had disappeared.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't look for her, I'll give you 4,000! 10,000! 10,000 Golden Soul Coins,

okay!"

Hearing Ling Bai call out to Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao no longer put on an act and immediately offered 10,000 Golden Soul Coins. Whether to comment on Dean Yan Shaozhe's character or not, his judgment of human nature was top-notch. The two were not on the same level, and Ling Bai only needed to use his little finger to handle Ma Xiaotao. Ling Bai reluctantly agreed, inwardly sighing, women, truly incomprehensible! Ma Xiaotao took out a gold card with 10,000 Golden Soul Coins and handed it to Ling Bai,

unable to resist asking, "Can you tell me why you're willing to borrow money to buy this black, deteriorated Thousand Year Whale Jelly?"

Ling Bai was generous with his explanation, "This is a Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, the best of whale jellies. I'll buy it and resell it, and I'll make at least this much."

Ling Bai held up five fingers.

500,000!

"You're truly a prodigy of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, with a full talent for finding

bargains..."

Ma Xiaotao was speechless; the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's true legacy had found a

worthy successor!

As Ling Bai was about to pay at the counter on the west side, Ling Luochen suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost, holding a voucher with the Treasure Pavilion's logo.

"Whale jelly receipt, I wrote your name. I'll send it to the inner courtyard with the Radiant

Glory tomorrow morning. Don't forget to sign for it."

While Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao were chatting, the action-oriented Ling Luochen had already paid at the front desk and even had the receipt ready!

"Thank you, I'll pay you back double the cost of the whale jelly another day." Given their distant relationship, Ling Bai never expected Ling Luochen to go to such lengths.

He immediately made a promise. Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, was furious, her pink eyes

fixed on Ling Luochen, as if to say, who are you, get out of her body!

Qian Fufu by the Daming Lake would cry!

The treasure viewing tour ended perfectly. On the way back to Shrek Academy, the three of

them chatted aimlessly.

"Do you know, a week from now, the outer courtyard's upgrade exams will be over, and they

will start selecting the reserve team for the next Shrek Seven Monsters for the Soul Master Tournament," Ma Xiaotao said.

"It's usually around this time," Ling Luochen added.

"Can we go to the outer courtyard to watch?"

Ling Bai knew how much blood and tears Ning Tian and Wu Feng had shed, and he looked

forward to them avenging their past humiliation and winning the position of the Shrek Seven Monsters reserve team. He wanted to be a witness.

"Watching..." Ma Xiaotao hesitated, "Theoretically, Elder Xuan hasn't forbidden it, but normally, the main Shrek Seven Monsters should maintain a high and mysterious image."

"That's easy, we can watch secretly. I'll ask Yao Haoxuan to gather everyone. He likes to join in the fun and will surely drag others along to watch." Besides Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, the other four main Shrek Seven Monsters, Dai Yueheng, Gongyang Mo, Xi Xi, and Yao Haoxuan, had a slightly better relationship with Ling

Bai. Yao Haoxuan, with his more outgoing personality, was the right person to ask for this kind of thing.

"That's fine, we can get to know our future teammates in advance," Ma Xiaotao agreed. "We can also make a bet. Each of us picks an outer courtyard disciple and bets on whether they will

be selected for the reserve team. The loser must sit out the first elimination match and not

participate, watching others perform!" "Ning Tian."

Ling Bai unconditionally supported his childhood friend.

"Biased, I bet on Xu San Shi."

Ma Xiaotao was familiar with Xu San Shi's strength and believed that the outer courtyard's

top defensive soul master should be selected.

"Jiang Nan Nan," Ling Luochen said softly.

She had been in the inner courtyard for less than three years but had heard of the powerful

soul skills of the Flexible Bone Rabbit Jiang Nan Nan.

"May the best win, no cheating!"

...

A week later, at the Soul Conductor Department's No. 1 experimental field. "Xiao Tian, I've fixed Ling Bai's Tier 8 Triggered Soul Shield. I promise to return the

Thousand Charm Demon Beauty to him before the Soul Master Tournament opens!" "Thank you, Grand Tutor."

The Deputy Dean of the Soul Conductor Department, Qian Duoduo, handed the Tier 8 Soul Conductor Shield to Ning Tian. On the second day of the school term, he had humbly asked Ning Tian to lend him the Tier 8 peak Soul Conductor Thousand Charm Demon Beauty for research, coinciding with Ling Bai's desire to find a high-level soul conductor to repair the Soul Shield.

After a brief discussion, they agreed that before the Soul Master Tournament, Qian Duoduo would repair the Soul Shield, with Ling Bai covering the material costs, and Qian Duoduo's reward would be the opportunity to study the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty for a while. "By the way, today, the core disciples of the outer courtyard will have a competition. The seven winners will complete a special task together."

Qian Duoduo looked around to ensure no one was nearby before whispering, "That's just a cover to fool the simple-minded. In reality, it's to select the reserve team for the Shrek Seven Monsters. Try your best to win! Last year, Fu Fu was kicked out of the main team, and your teacher was angry for three days and three nights. This year, the Soul Conductor Department has sent three core disciples, you and Fan Yu's two apprentices. You must make the Soul

Conductor Department proud!"

"Don't worry, Grand Tutor. There's a chance that all three of us from the Soul Conductor

Department will be selected this year, a first in history," Ning Tian's smile was perfect, without a single flaw.

"Hehe, then I'll ride on Old Yan's neck and play the seesaw!"

"Grand Tutor, I'll go now."

"Mm, good luck!"

Ning Tian left the experimental field, and Wu Feng had been waiting for a long time. She hid

her smile, her face expressionless, and looked up at the sky. The weather was clear and sunny,

a good omen.

"Let's go, Xiaofeng. The time has come for us to wash away our humiliation."
