Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 184 The Gatekeeper
Yan Shaozhe's face darkened, and he said, "Why? Do you have any objections? Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng are the main offensive spirit masters in the team. What is the role of the offensive spirit? Facing challenges head-on and protecting teammates, have you done it? Ling Luochen, as the main control spirit master, did you play a sufficient control role in that battle? If Ji Lin hadn't prepared an invincible shield for you in advance and rescued you in time, I'm afraid you might not have been able to come back intact? Judging from the situation at the time, the loss of the team was due to your carelessness and underestimation of the enemy. As inner courtyard disciples of Shrek Academy, is that the combat effectiveness you should demonstrate? Even outer courtyard students know that a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, but what about you?"

The three of them lowered their heads in shame under Yan Shaozhe's scolding. They were indeed careless at that time, especially Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng, who were completely obsessed with killing and did not care about their teammates at all. They also did not observe the surrounding environment in time, which led to the almost complete annihilation of the team. What Yan Shaozhe said was true.

So they didn't dare to refute, and the disciples from the outer courtyard were even more afraid to speak. Although they felt a little sympathetic to a few seniors, they didn't dare to step forward to help speak in good words.

Yan Shaozhe's tone softened a bit. "After that, you all participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition with the team. You performed well in the competition and did not disgrace your status as inner court disciples. You also helped the team win the final championship. The academy also remembers this contribution. But as inner court disciples and regular players in the competition, your reward will naturally be less. Your merits and demerits will be offset. Major demerits will not be recorded in your files. I hope you can learn from this lesson. Remember, life is precious and no one can start over."

“Thank you, Dean.” The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the punishment was recorded in their files at Shrek Academy, it would be a stain on their lives!
The inner court disciples receive all kinds of resources from Shrek Academy, so their requirements are naturally much higher than those of the outer court disciples.

This is also the important reason why Yan Shaozhe said that as members of the championship team, their rewards are far less than those of the reserve team.

Yan Shaozhe nodded and said: "You have worked hard this time, go back and rest. Remember, everything you see in Poseidon Pavilion must be kept secret. Yao Heng, you have completed a sufficient number of monitoring tasks, and you can start preparations." The inner courtyard graduation exam is about to begin.”

"Yes." Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen bowed respectfully again and left the Poseidon Pavilion.

Ma Xiaotao seldom goes out on missions because of her evil fire, and Ling Luochen is still far from completing the number of missions required for graduation, so among the three, only Dai Yueheng is about to graduate.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they walked out of the Sea God Pavilion. They were so nervous inside just now. A group of elders watched them being criticized. Even Ma Xiaotao felt a huge pressure. They knew very well that all the elders present were powerful Title Douluo-level masters! And most of them were

It's Super Douluo.

Although I didn’t get any rewards, I didn’t receive any punishment either. At least the competition mission was completed successfully.

Especially Dai Yuheng, he can prepare for the graduation examination. This unexpectedly means that he can return to the Xingluo Empire, follow in his father's footsteps, and enter the army for training. Thinking of this, he is nervous and excited.

In the Poseidon Pavilion, there were only eight people left: Wang Yan, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Ji Lin, Wang Qiuer, Wang Donger, and Xiaoxiao.

Everyone had just watched the entire process of Yan Shaozhe scolding Ma Xiaotao and the other two, and now they were all a little nervous.

Yan Shaozhe turned to them, smiled slightly, and said, "What? Do you think the academy is too harsh on them? What I want to tell you is that this is the academy's requirements for the inner courtyard disciples. The academy uses various resources to train the inner courtyard disciples , the requirements for them will naturally be very high. In the near future, you will also become a part of the inner courtyard, and you will understand then. Okay, now it is your turn to reward, Teacher Wang Yan."

"Dean Yan." Wang Yan took a step forward and bowed slightly.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "In the absence of four regular players, you were able to lead the team to win the final championship. We all see your ability. From now on, you will be promoted to a special teacher of Shrek Academy and coach the inner courtyard."

Wang Yan hurriedly said, "Dean, this time the championship has nothing to do with me. It's all the result of the children's hard work. I didn't do much and could only watch them fight from the audience."

Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Wang Yan is too modest. As the team leader, your presence is indispensable. It is you who analyzes the opponent's intelligence for them, arranges the tactics, and the reward is what you deserve."

"What I just announced cannot be considered a reward for you. It is just a normal promotion for you. The real reward for you is that the Poseidon Pavilion Library will be open to you for one year. Within one year, you can borrow books at will. But you can only read and study in the library."

"What?" Upon hearing the reward, Wang Yan couldn't help but jumped up excitedly in front of all the elders, his face flushed with excitement.

For Wang Yan, he didn’t care about other rewards, but this reward was something he couldn’t refuse.

Wang Yan's biggest hobby is to study theoretical knowledge. The library of Poseidon Pavilion has a huge amount of books, countless rare and out-of-print classics and materials. One year of reading and research rights, this reward means more to Wang Yan than anything else.

Knowledge is the most valuable wealth to him.

Seeing Wang Yan's excited look, Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Wang, this is the reward you deserve. We all see your dedication to the college, your persistence and hard work in research. I hope In the coming year, you can learn what you want to learn in the Poseidon Pavilion Library."

"Thank you, Dean, and thank you to all the elders." Wang Yan bowed deeply with excitement. The Poseidon Pavilion Library, this was something he had never dared to imagine before!
All the elders nodded to him with a smile. In Shrek Academy, not only martial arts but also theoretical research are valued. Wang Yan is a talent in theoretical research, and Shrek will not bury such talents easily.

Yan Shaozhe turned his gaze to the seven people in the reserve team and said, "It's your turn."

"Kids, you performed very well. In the absence of the regular players, you were ordered to participate in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, and you also won the final championship. Your performance can only be described as breathtaking."

Yan Shaozhe continued, "Everything you have done has been seen by the academy's top management. You were originally only in the reserve team, but you represented the main team and won the championship. Your excellence has amazed us. After a meeting at the Sea God Pavilion, it was decided to give you the following rewards. As the champions of this competition, you have won three soul bones. The academy has decided to take out four more soul bones and give each of you one. The selection will be based on your ability characteristics."

Xiaoxiao and the others were overjoyed. The champion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition only had three soul bones, but the academy directly gave out four as rewards. It can only be said that Shrek Academy is worthy of its wealth and its thousands of years of heritage is extremely profound.

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows. He thought that this time Shrek Academy would give the seven of them the title of Shrek Seven Devils for life.

Although he was not interested in this title, and this title was only sealed in the historical archives of Shrek Academy and was not allowed to be publicized, it was useless to Ji Lin, so it would be better to reward him with some gold soul coins.

Only students who highly identify with Shrek Academy will be interested in the so-called lifelong title of Shrek Seven Devils. Moreover, Ji Lin did not have as hard a fight as Huo Yuhao and his team in the original novel. There was also the issue of his and Wang Qiuer's identities. It was normal that the Sea God Pavilion failed to pass the meeting to grant them the lifelong title of Shrek Seven Devils.

After Wang Yan's reminder with a look, Beibei and the others came back to their senses from the surprise and bowed 90 degrees solemnly to the four deans and elders present.

Yan Shaozhe stepped aside and said respectfully to the front of the long table: "Teacher, do you have any instructions for them?"

There was a person half lying at the other end of the long table, but because of the angle of view, they couldn't see what the person looked like.

But Ji Lin knew that it was Dragon God Douluo Moon.

"Children, your performance has exceeded my expectations. Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Ji Lin, Wang Qiuer, the five of you have already reached the Soul Sect level. I have specially approved you to take the inner courtyard assessment directly after the end of this school year. After passing the assessment, you will enter the inner courtyard to study. The difficulty of the inner courtyard assessment remains unchanged."

Beibei and Xu Sanshi looked at each other with nervousness in their eyes. The inner courtyard assessment had held up countless outer courtyard disciples, and there were too few people who could actually enter the inner courtyard. It was impossible for them not to feel nervous when the assessment was conducted in advance.

The old voice continued, "During this period of time, you will stay on Sea God Island to practice. You can return to the outer courtyard only when I think you can leave. Ji Lin, Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, Xiaoxiao, the four of you will practice with me. Beibei and Xu Sanshi will follow Xuanzi, and Jiang Nannan, you will follow Cai Mei'er to practice. If they fail the inner courtyard assessment, you two will be punished as well."

Although the old man's voice sounded gentle and kind, everything he said was naturally convincing and unquestionable. All the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the four deans stood up and respectfully saluted to the half-lying Mu in the main seat.

"The meeting is dismissed." Mr. Mu's voice seemed to be calmer.

Except for Xuan Zi and Cai Meir, everyone else disappeared in an instant.

"You all can go too. Ji Lin and the other three will stay behind." Old Mu waved his hand at Xuan Zi and Cai Meir.

"Yes." The two of them agreed respectfully, took Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan and left.

The Poseidon Pavilion fell silent. Ji Lin and the others looked at each other and then looked at Moon who was sitting in the main seat.

"Children, come here." Mr. Mu waved to the four of them.

The four of them hurriedly walked around the long table and came to Old Mu's side. Ji Lin had known Old Mu for a long time, so he was not very nervous, but Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er and Xiao Xiao were a little nervous. Wang Qiu'er sensed an aura from Old Mu that was no less than that of Di Tian, ​​so she was also a little nervous.

"What? You weren't afraid of facing strong enemies in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, so why would you be nervous about facing an old man like me? Hold your heads up, we are old friends."

"It's you?" The three girls exclaimed almost in unison, stunned.

Ji Lin looked at the expressions of the three girls and found them so interesting that he almost laughed out loud.

Old Mu glanced at Ji Lin with a smile. He was not surprised at Ji Lin's indifference. Considering the relationship between Ji Lin and Zhang Lexuan, as well as Chi Yuan behind him, it was not surprising that they knew his identity.

Xiaoxiao and the other two looked at the face in front of them, which was old but full of gentle smile. There was an expression of disbelief in their eyes. Even if they were asked to guess 10,000 times, they would not be able to guess that the old man who usually lay leisurely in front of the freshman dormitory building was actually the most respected Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy! For a moment, the three of them were so shocked that they were speechless.
Elder Mu smiled and said, "It's strange, isn't it? You didn't recognize the wrong person, I am the old man! Although I am in charge of the Sea God Pavilion, I don't want to stay here. It's too stuffy here. It's not as lively as your freshman dormitory. There I can feel your youthful aura, and even my heart will become younger. Feeling your vigorous vitality can also let an old guy like me live a few more years."

Xiaoxiao and the other two were speechless. It was really hard for them to connect the gatekeeper with the Lord of Poseidon Pavilion.

Mu Lao raised one hand and said, "Help me up."

Ji Lin took two steps forward and helped Moon up. Xiaoxiao and the other two hadn't reacted yet.

Old Mu slowly stood up from the recliner, his back hunched over at an angle of nearly ninety degrees.

Mu Lao chuckled and said, "I'm not lying here to show off. I was injured when I was young, and since then, I have never recovered and can only bend over like this. They feel sorry for me, so they prepared a recliner for me."

Ji Lin knew that it was the injury left after the battle with the former leader of the Body Sect, Du Bi Si. His spine was broken and he would never be able to stand up again.

The price of death due to poison is life.

Moon directed Ji Lin and supported him as they headed in one direction, with Wang Qiuer and the other two following behind them.

Ji Lin helped Mu Lao walk to a wall. Mu Lao raised his hand and pointed slightly. Suddenly, a golden light lit up, and everything around them became illusory. A rich golden halo instantly enveloped Ji Lin and the other three. They only felt a bright light in front of their eyes. They quickly closed their eyes and felt empty under their feet. The next moment, when they stepped on the ground, the golden light around them had quietly disappeared.

The original Poseidon Pavilion disappeared, and they were in a spacious hall.
