Chapter 146: Cultivation under the Golden Ancient Tree!

"Ahem, since that's the case, then let's go."

Ma Xiaotao awkwardly moved her long legs and got up from Xu Nian'an.

Xu Nian'an looked at Ma Xiaotao, then at Hu Niu and Xiong Er, and the table full of food.

"Peach, how about we eat something first before going?"

Slap!

"How many times have I told you, at Shrek Academy, and when there are outsiders, call me Senior Sister; this is etiquette."

Ahem...

"Fine, fine."

Xu Nian'an nodded.

Dean's Office.

"Teacher."

"Teacher."

Xu Nian'an and Ma Xiaotao obediently called out to the teacher.

Seeing Xu Nian'an and Ma Xiaotao appear together, a smile appeared in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.

He turned his head to look at Xu Nian'an.

"You've been back at Shrek Academy for so long, why do you only go to your Soul Guidance Department teacher and never come to see your Martial Soul Department teacher?"

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an treated it as in one ear and out the other. What a joke, why would he go to that mature woman Xian Lin'er and come to this big man Yan Shaozhe?

He wasn't gay.

"Teacher, you can't say it like that."

"How would I dare to disturb you when there's nothing going on? Going to the Soul Guidance Department side, isn't it because I've been sprinting for a Level 5 Soul Guidance Master recently..."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe nodded.

"Good, fine."

"In the future, you can come to Teacher's place even when there's nothing going on; Teacher likes being disturbed."

Knock, knock!!!

The moment Yan Shaozhe finished this sentence, a knock sounded outside the door.

Yan Shaozhe's face turned black.

He had finally waited for Xu Nian'an and Ma Xiaotao to come here, how could he be disturbed by someone after just a short while.

"Dean, it's about the recent Inner Court student upgrade assessment."

"Wait outside."

Yan Shaozhe was a bit troubled; he really wanted to blow the person outside away.

But he couldn't personally puncture the boast he had just made; there was no other way, he could only make the person outside wait a while.

"I heard you broke through to level 40 recently?"

"Why didn't you tell Teacher?"

"What Teacher promised you before still counts."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an nodded.

"Yes, Teacher, I had a small stroke of luck recently."

Since Yan Shaozhe asked directly, Xu Nian'an couldn't not say anything.

"Do you still remember the Ice Crystal Saber Tiger that looked very much like a dog that I insisted on bringing when I first entered Shrek Academy?"

"By some stroke of luck, it sacrificed itself to me..."

Xu Nian'an described it simply, of course, omitting many things.

"What, so you mean... your fourth soul ring is a red hundred-thousand-year one!"

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao widened her eyes.

Her eyes scanned Xu Nian'an up and down, with a look of inquiry.

Hum~

Xu Nian'an slowly raised his right hand, and a piece of cold ice appeared; the temperature in the room quickly dropped to freezing point.

The blood-red hundred-thousand-year soul ring began to shimmer slightly.

"So cool."

Ma Xiaotao turned her head to look at Xu Nian'an, feeling the low temperature he emitted, and looking at Xu Nian'an's eyes, they began to string together.

Ahem~

Yan Shaozhe shuddered.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and put it away."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Xu Nian'an, unable to help but sigh that Xu Nian'an's fortune was heaven-defying and his luck was good.

After sighing, he couldn't help but start to feel dejected again.

Xu Nian'an's fourth soul ring was already a hundred-thousand-year one, so what about the fifth soul ring?

Even if it couldn't be stronger than the fourth soul ring, it couldn't be weaker than the current one.

A hundred-thousand-year one?

You have to know this was only the fourth ring; there were still five rings to go before reaching Titled Douluo, and after the title was finished, there was still a second martial soul.

In an instant, Yan Shaozhe's head grew big.

"Come in, the one outside."

Not long after, a teacher walked in holding a file bag.

The moment the door opened, feeling that very cold temperature, the teacher couldn't help but shudder.

"De, Dean, this is the list of Inner Court promotions for today."

Yan Shaozhe took it and glanced at it; the first one at the head was Ma Xiaotao.

In fact, apart from the drawback of the evil fire, Ma Xiaotao was top-tier in every aspect, similar to Zhang Lexuan of Zhang Lexuan's generation.

Of course, this was under the condition that the evil fire didn't interfere with her.

She was number one in every grade.

"Fine, I will handle this matter."

Yan Shaozhe nodded to the teacher, and then the teacher retreated.

"Come with me to the Inner Court."

Yan Shaozhe was speaking to Xu Nian'an.

Xu Nian'an nodded.

In front of the Golden Ancient Tree, when Xu Nian'an, Ma Xiaotao, and Yan Shaozhe arrived here.

There were already many, many people standing in front.

"Sister Xiaotao!"

"Peach!"

Among them were Dai Yaoheng and others who had just been promoted to the Inner Court.

There were also Zhang Lexuan and others who had been promoted to the Inner Court for a long time and had become the pillars of the Inner Court.

An old man holding a cane with a hunched figure sat on a lounge chair.

"Teacher, everyone is here, and I also brought people outside the plan."

The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Nian'an.

"It's fine, in the future, they will all be the pillars of Shrek Academy; one more is not too many, one less is not too few."

Zhang Lexuan, Ye Yi Han, Han Ruoruo, and Wu Ming, the four women, the moment Xu Nian'an appeared, couldn't help but control their eyes and look in Xu Nian'an's direction.

After several months of waiting, Xu Nian'an had changed a lot in their eyes again.

At least... at least in their eyes, Xu Nian'an had become much more handsome, dashing, and mature.

"Fine, follow me next."

Dozens of people slowly walked into the Golden Ancient Tree.

"Lexuan, the end on the right side."

"Ye Yi Han, upper left."

As they went deeper into the Golden Ancient Tree, the number of people following behind Mu En became fewer and fewer.

Xu Nian'an followed Mu En until he reached the end of the Golden Ancient Tree, that single, lonely black ice iron door.

"Go in."

"Inside the Golden Ancient Tree, there are a total of 108 rooms, each representing the limit a Soul Master can reach."

"Adapting to all kinds of attribute cultivation..."

Xu Nian'an looked back at Mu En, then turned to open the door.

Hiss~

Just as he walked into the room, the room door instantly closed, and Xu Nian'an felt as if he had instantly entered the depths of the Extreme North again.

Extreme cold enveloped Xu Nian'an, instantly making him unable to help but shudder.

Xu Nian'an turned his head to look around and quickly locked onto a cushion not far away.

Walking over, Xu Nian'an sat cross-legged on the ground.

Four soul rings—purple, purple, black, red—slowly appeared.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, this aura."

Not long after entering the cultivation state, Mu En's voice rang out in Xu Nian'an's mind.

"This aura, the owner of the soul ring should be the mother of the soul beast you adopted, right?"

Xu Nian'an didn't reply.

Because he had already told Yan Shaozhe.

"To be honest, in terms of martial soul and cultivation, I have nothing to teach you."

"But in terms of life insights, I think I still have some say."

"Your mind is too chaotic, too messy; of course, a fair lady is a gentleman's desire, I just hope you don't leave yourself with disappointment."

Next, Mu En said a lot of miscellaneous things to Xu Nian'an.

Xu Nian'an was speechless; he really didn't want to listen, but didn't know how to refuse.

Finally, a flash of inspiration hit his head, and he directly activated mental shielding.

Vision shielding can not only shield vision but also shield the mind.
