Chapter 49: Being a disciple-in-law isn't bad either [Thanks for following and reading]

"You are..."

"You're taking me to the Inner Court?"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin looked at the amiable face before him and undoubtedly understood the purpose of the other's visit.

The reason Yan Shaozhe had come to the Outer Court to find him was precisely to take him to the Inner Court to study, rather than letting him waste his future in the Outer Court. This was truly beyond his expectations.

"That's right."

Yan Shaozhe nodded without reservation, acknowledging it.

"With your talent, you are no longer suited to stay in the Outer Court."

"The Inner Court is the best choice."

He smiled, his face full of kindness, and said earnestly.

To leave such a treasure in the Outer Court with his talent would be a waste, especially with Zhou Yi as the homeroom teacher... that person is not worth mentioning!

At 12 years old and level 40, just one soul ring away from being a Soul Ancestor—such talent is peerless.

Although the teacher had no intention of taking the boy as a disciple, this did not hinder bringing him to the Inner Court for proper cultivation. Leaving him in the Outer Court for six years would truly be a waste of his time.

Moreover, he had heard the teacher say before that the Golden Ancient Tree had extremely strong life energy, and since Wulin's martial soul was the Blue Silver Emperor, perhaps there would be great benefits.

"This..."

"You're letting me join the Inner Court just like that?"

Seeing the other's earnest expression, it was Tang Wulin who felt a bit at a loss, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself. He had only been at the academy for a few days, and he could already join the Inner Court? He had originally thought the other had come here just to build some rapport with him. There was no other reason; based on the talent he had displayed upon enrollment, while he was indeed an outstanding genius, it wasn't enough to be brought to the Inner Court so quickly.

Unlike the Outer Court enrollment, which only required a recommendation letter from a city lord and level 15 soul power, joining the Inner Court was not simple.

It didn't just require at least level 40 soul power before the age of 18; one also had to pass the annual Inner Court assessment. The reason so many students were truly blocked from entering the Inner Court was precisely because of these assessments.

Yet here he was, able to join just like that? "Senior."

"I've only been at the academy for a few days. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to join the Inner Court now?"

For a moment, Tang Wulin couldn't help but say this. At such a time, this attitude was undoubtedly the most correct one.

Regarding joining the Inner Court, he actually had no urgent feelings, because no matter where he was, the most useful thing for him was only one: meditation and cultivation.

He didn't care where he was; he only cared about the kind of people he came into contact with. For example, he had come to Shrek Academy simply because he wanted to obtain check-in rewards.

As for other messy situations, there were none at all, and especially absent was the bullshit talk about "Shrek's glory."

"Inappropriate? Not at all."

"With your talent, joining the Inner Court is just a matter of time. There is no problem with entering early."

Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly, not caring much about it. In the Shrek Inner Court, there were quite a few who had been cultivated since childhood; for instance, Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Leyuan were like that.

As long as the talent is strong enough, no problem is a problem. Speaking with strength could shut the mouths of all the Sea God Pavilion elders. Besides, even his own teacher liked Wulin, which made it even more so.

However, it must be said that hearing Tang Wulin's words made Yan Shaozhe feel even more satisfied—look, the boy wasn't even moved by such a good thing as joining the Inner Court, and even thought it was inappropriate! Inappropriate? It's too appropriate, Wulin!

"Let's go."

"I'll take you to the Inner Court."

Yan Shaozhe wore a smile and said pleasantly.

"This..."

Tang Wulin could only nod, not refusing.

Just as he was wondering why the other hadn't moved yet, the next moment, golden wings suddenly appeared behind Yan Shaozhe.

Afterward, the other used his soul power to take himself, along with Tang Wulin, up into the sky, flying toward the Inner Court.

"..."

"Your speed, Senior."

"Is truly fast—"

Tang Wulin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Seeing the other's eagerness to have him join the Inner Court, he feared that if someone didn't know better, they might think he was about to run away at any moment.

"This is the Phoenix Wing of Dean Yan's martial soul, the Bright Phoenix. Since both are phoenix wings, I suppose flying feels about the same," Tang Wulin thought to himself, lost in contemplation.

"..."

The Inner Court was located on Sea God Island. One had to fly over Sea God Lake from the Outer Court to land on that island. After that, the other took him into a pavilion to handle his Inner Court enrollment procedures.

Yan Shaozhe processed the paperwork very quickly; the reason was simple: he was the Dean.

The procedures for entering the Inner Court were all handled from his side, and this time was no exception.

And while it was called a procedure, in reality, it was just him taking the boy's files from the Outer Court and placing them into the Inner Court student archives.

"12 years old and level 40, Wulin, you truly are a genius."

"If I had a daughter, I would definitely marry her to you and make you my son-in-law."

Along the way, Yan Shaozhe was not stingy with his exclamations. Wulin was truly the perfect candidate for a son-in-law; he only regretted that he didn't have a daughter. It was a real pity.

However.

Wasn't his own disciple getting on in years?

"..."

"I didn't expect to join the Inner Court just like that."

Not long after, when Tang Wulin was sent off Sea God Island by Yan Shaozhe and returned to the Outer Court, he couldn't help but sigh.

Because the Inner Court students hadn't started classes yet, Yan Shaozhe had waved his hand and given him a few days of vacation to prepare in the Outer Court, but Tang Wulin just smiled at this.

Even if classes started, so what? The Inner Court had very few courses; the vast majority of the time was left for students to focus on self-cultivation. It wouldn't be a problem for him not to be on Sea God Island.

The reason was simple: the biggest benefit of joining the Inner Court was having better resources, and other than that, there wasn't much else. In fact, this was already quite good; as Shrek Academy, with its ten-thousand-year foundation, the resources were still terrifying.

It was just that for himself, could the academy really provide any so-called resources? "Joining the Inner Court this time."

"Was truly beyond my expectations."

Tang Wulin's face was thoughtful. Regarding the situation where he could join the Inner Court, he felt he had to thank two people.

First and foremost was Mu En.

The reason he went from an ordinary super genius to a target for recruitment into the Inner Court was because of Mu En.

It was precisely because of the soul bone obtained from checking in on him that his soul power level far exceeded the level 35 he had at enrollment, leaping directly to level 40. Even if he didn't know what realm lay beyond the breakthrough, just being level 40 at 12 years old was explosive enough.

And there was another person: that teacher who was extremely dedicated to the way of teaching, Zhou Yi. If it weren't for her being such a scoundrel, Yan Shaozhe wouldn't have been so determined to have him join the Inner Court.

And the facts were indeed so. Seeing Zhou Yi acting like a fox assuming the tiger's might and being addicted to showing off, Yan Shaozhe fell into deep thought—

If the Outer Court had such a teacher, how high could the teaching quality be? Even if he had confidence in his academy and other teachers would certainly not be as scoundrelly as Zhou Yi, a group of Soul Emperors and Soul Sages were still far from qualified to teach Tang Wulin.

In other words, it wasn't that these teachers lacked strength, but simply because Tang Wulin's strength was excessive, which meant he couldn't be handled according to ordinary circumstances.

"..."

That afternoon, in the Sea God Pavilion of the Inner Court, Yan Shaozhe initiated a discussion on the theme of "Should a peerless genius be exceptionally admitted to the Inner Court?"

However, although such a discussion was opened, in reality, he had already arranged the procedures for Tang Wulin's entry into the Inner Court. Of course, he wouldn't tell the elders that.

Acting first and reporting later might not be very moral, but since his teacher Mu En had agreed, he figured there would be no problem at all.

"I think there's no problem."

"I think there is a problem."

In the end, with half agreeing and half refusing, as the scene reached a stalemate, Mu En, who hadn't expressed his stance for a long time, silently opened his mouth and chose to agree.

At that moment, the scene instantly turned into a unanimous vote.

However, these were stories for later.

………………

Mu En: Let's just say, I, the old man, have the direct power to approve with one vote, alright.

Although there are over 300 followers reading, there's still a gap to the second round, I feel it might be a bit precarious (=ＴェＴ=) No big deal, for this book's follow-up data, if the first subscription can reach 200, I'll be satisfied. As for the rest, let it be! My last book's first subscription was over 90, and I still wrote it to 1.29 million words. Brave A Bai, not afraid of difficulties! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
