Chapter 145 Yan Shaozhe's Open Scheme.
The Sun and Moon exchange students continued their journey, passing through Shrek Square, crossing the shimmering, crystal-clear Seagod Lake, and finally entering Shrek's Inner Court.
On Seagod Island, a woman of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old with long black hair led a group of Inner Court students, standing quietly at the entrance.
The woman's delicate face was fair and flawless, and her tranquil and gentle temperament was unforgettable. The Sun and Moon exchange students were stunned.
Yan Shaozhe approached the gentle woman and introduced her: "This is Zhang Lexuan, the youngest member of the Seagod Pavilion, and the chief disciple of Shrek's Inner Court. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can seek her help."
Zhang Lexuan stepped forward and smiled, "You can call me Senior Sister, or you can call me Great Senior Sister like the other Inner Court students."
"Great Senior Sister!" Except for Xiao Hongchen and a few female students, the remaining male exchange students cheered in unison.
Yan Shaozhe nodded, then instructed, "Le Xuan, distribute the prepared items to them!"
Zhang Le Xuan nodded calmly, took out a tray, and explained, "This is the student code of conduct and a general map for Shrek Academy's inner court students. You haven't passed the inner court entrance exam yet, so you don't have the exclusive red school uniforms for inner court students. The uniforms will be issued to you once you officially pass the exam and become inner court students."
Elder Ma frowned upon hearing this and stepped forward, saying, "Dean Yan, this isn't what we agreed on! It doesn't conform to the agreement made between the Red Dust Hall Master and Elder Mu of your academy. Elder Mu promised us that exchange students would enjoy the same benefits as those in the inner court at Shrek Academy."
"Your Academy wouldn't be going back on its word about granting you the same treatment as other students and allowing you to study in the Inner Academy!"
Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly and stepped forward to explain, "Teacher Ma, please calm down. This has always been the rule of Shrek Academy's Inner Academy. Whether you're an outer academy student or a student from another academy, anyone wanting to study in Shrek's Inner Academy must participate in the Inner Academy's entrance examination. Of course, because of this agreement, even if your exchange students don't pass this examination, Shrek will still allow you to enter the Inner Academy as temporary Inner Academy students and enjoy the same treatment. However, the red school uniform exclusive to Inner Academy students will not be issued, because this uniform represents not only the honor of the Inner Academy but also its responsibility."
"This is the compromise I've offered your academy without violating the inner academy's rules."
Upon hearing that even failing the entrance exam wouldn't guarantee entry to the inner academy, Elder Ma nodded repeatedly, quickly stepping forward to shake Yan Shaozhe's hand, expressing his gratitude profusely: "Thank you, Dean Yan, for considering our needs. I am deeply grateful. I guarantee your exchange students will gain a great deal from my Mingde Hall."
It was just a useless school uniform, merely a formality, as long as it didn't affect the fundamental interests of this exchange.
Yan Shaozhe smiled and nodded in agreement, but inwardly he sneered. Shrek's uniform was their pass to the inner academy; without it, they would face obstacles everywhere. Let's see what they learn this time.
Finally, they'll be allowed to enter the inner academy as losers. I don't believe those arrogant little brats in the inner academy will accept a bunch of people who came through connections.
Xiao Hongchen stepped forward, speaking with an air of confidence: "Dean Yan! I am Xiao Hongchen, the team leader of the exchange student group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. After your introduction, my teammates and I are eager to experience the inner court assessment of the continent's number one academy and see if we can pass it as Dean Yan said."
His aura was overwhelming; judging by his presence alone, one might mistake him for the person in charge of this exchange program.
Xiao Hongchen was not yet seventeen, but his soul power had already broken through to the Soul Emperor level. With his talent, he might even become a Soul Saint before the age of twenty.
Meng Hongchen's cultivation speed was not much slower than his brother's; he had already broken through level sixty and become a Soul Emperor before setting off on the exchange program.
The other exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy all possessed cultivation levels above Soul King and the abilities of a Level 5 Soul Master.
Since they were here to exchange and learn at the continent's number one Soul Master Academy, it meant their cultivation direction was a combination of Soul Master and Soul Master, and their Martial Souls were exceptionally outstanding even within the Sun Moon Empire.
They couldn't believe that someone with their lineup couldn't pass Shrek Academy's so-called inner court assessment.
"Young man, you're quite confident. Confidence is a good thing for young people," Yan Shaozhe said with a forced smile, praising Xiao Hongchen.
This must be the grandson of that old fox, Jing Hongchen. His talent is indeed extraordinary. However, it's a pity that with my prior arrangements, none of you will pass this assessment.
But he wouldn't be too obvious in his targeting; being too deliberate wouldn't be beneficial for Fan Yu's Shrek Academy exchange student team's studies at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
With completely different purposes, led by Yan Shaozhe and Zhang Lexuan, the group arrived at the Inner Court Soul Arena.
Seven figures were already waiting at the entrance of the Inner Court Soul Arena: Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Qian Guming, and Wu Xuan!
However, the atmosphere among the seven wasn't very harmonious.
"I've already said, I don't want to join any sect. Even if my second martial soul is the Soul-Breaking Spear, it won't change my mind," Wu Xuan said coldly, rejecting Wang Dong's invitation.
Since Wu Xuan rejected Bei Bei, Bei Bei hadn't invited him again. But lately, for some reason, Wang Dong seemed possessed and insisted that he join the Tang Sect.
"But the Soul-Breaking Spear is the Tang Sect's inherited martial spirit!
How can you face your ancestors from ten thousand years ago if you don't join the Tang Sect?" Wang Dong frowned. "Ten thousand years ago, it was the Yang family who joined the Tang Sect. My surname is Wu. What does a promise from ten thousand years ago have to do with my Wu family?" Wu Xuan said, giving Wang Dong the middle finger. "You, you, you, you're just being unreasonable!" Wang Dong glared at Wu Xuan, speechless with anger.
"Wu Xuan!"
Xiao Hongchen suddenly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the tall, imposing figure. He had cultivated desperately for two years, all to defeat this powerful enemy who had repeatedly defeated him and his sister.
"Oh! It's you. What was your name again?" Wu Xuan turned away from Wang Dong, looking at the white-haired youth who had called his name.
"Fine! Very well, pretending not to know me, huh? Don't think you can provoke me like this." Xiao Hongchen trembled with rage.
"Wu Xuan! You're bullying Wang Dong again! You're really awful!" Meng Hongchen pointed at Wu Xuan, her voice filled with anger.
"And who's this? They look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?" Wu Xuan frowned and nudged Xu Sanshi beside him.
"No, brother! You really forgot? Two years ago, in the Soul Fighting Tournament, in the finals of the Sun and Moon Team, those two you personally defeated." Xu Sanshi exaggerated.
"Oh! So it's them. No wonder I don't remember them. I never pay much attention to unimportant people." Wu Xuan shook his head and said calmly. "You!
You! You! You!" Xiao Hongchen was furious. The same kind of person they considered their lifelong rivals had actually forgotten him as an unimportant person.
